Chapter 375 - - 372 The wind blows the hat clasp a quail_1

—————✧✧✧✧—————

The State Preceptor, Dou Xiu, and Shi Ji all emerged from the shadows.

Wu Chang and the others also arrived with faces full of questions, crossing the moat to join them.

Duge remained motionless, still observing the battlefield, trying to find a clue, but he saw nothing out of the ordinary, except for Xiang Li and others who had fallen from the city wall. There was no sign of a fight on site.

Xiang Li asked, “Old Gao, what happened? Why are we down here at the base of the city? Did Wei Jiuchu and the others come? Where’s Brother Du?”

Everyone shook their heads.

“The opponent’s ability must include erasing memories,” Gao Ming frowned. He opened his personal panel, “The top ten rankings haven’t changed, Brother Du must have gone after the enemy.”

“What about us?” Ge Zong asked.

“Let’s catch up and see!” Gao Ming leaped into the air, wanting to investigate the situation.

But no sooner had he taken flight than he plummeted straight down from the sky, his eyes tightly closed as if asleep, yet his body kept running forward with big strides.

“What’s happening?” The State Preceptor and others suddenly turned around, looking towards the other side.

Wei Jiuchu and his group of seven were charging towards them.

The State Preceptor and his colleagues prepared for battle, only to lose control of their own bodies, involuntarily mirroring Wei Jiuchu’s movements, charging head-on towards them.

The six people behind Wei Jiuchu had already drawn their weapons, just waiting for the moment of clash to commence their harvest.

“Holy shit, what kind of ghostly ability is this?” Ge Zong exclaimed.

“Think of something, quickly,” Wu Chang said.

“Where’s Brother Du?” Xiang Li shouted in panic.

On the other side.

A coquettish woman said, “Wei brother, Leng Shi didn’t come out.”

“Old Lu, go and lure him out. Xiaofeng, was Leng Shi still where he was just now?” Wei Jiuchu looked towards the place where Duge was hiding, and quickly ordered.

“Yes.”

Said the boy around thirteen or fourteen.

The old man who appeared to be over seventy and had never spoken in their group suddenly turned around and resolutely charged towards Duge’s location.

…

What the hell?

He was actually discovered?

Duge’s face was filled with shock; how come the enemy was so familiar with their layout?

What exactly had happened just now?

How did Wei Jiuchu control everyone?

But at this moment, as the two groups were about to collide, he could no longer afford to contemplate so much.

You want to draw me out, but I refuse to go!

Duge disregarded the old man charging towards him and directly used the Seven-Hole Touch on Wei Jiuchu.

An unprepared Wei Jiuchu was hit on the spot, leaping up with a cry, and the others, including Gao Ming, followed suit…

At this moment.

Old Lu, the old man, had already charged close to Duge. He did not attack Duge but instead swept his blade towards a row of dense bushes where Duge was hiding. But how could his speed compare to Duge’s?

The moment he swung his blade, Duge’s second Seven-Hole Touch had already reached inside his body.

Bang!

Old Lu’s lower half along with his head exploded on the spot; he did not withstand even a single move from Duge, let alone draw him out.

When he killed the old woman who had vital information, Duge could easily burst her head; now, his spiritual power and attributes had increased at least twice, making it effortless to kill these unranked rookies one shot at a time.

…

“Old Lu!”

Wei Jiuchu, out of the corner of his eye, saw the old man exploded, was greatly shocked, and immediately sped up, “Feng Chi, kill Yun Yao quickly!”

The others, seeing Old Lu explode, were also startled. They suddenly realized the horror that came with being the number one in the world.

Leng Shi’s combat prowess might not be much less than Yun Yao’s.

The key trait of Old Lu was his sturdiness, serving as the shield in the team. Yet without even showing his face, Leng Shi was blown up, not withstanding a single move.

Having never experienced the Seven-Hole Touch, this group could never have imagined that Duge’s Seven-Hole Touch worked from the inside out. No matter how tough the exterior of a man is, the inside is still soft…

It can be said.

Old Lu’s instant death was entirely coincidental.

“I overestimated them,”

Old Lu’s death gave Duge a jolt of energy.

His gaze immediately locked onto the few people behind Wei Jiuchu, unable to hurt Wei Jiuchu, but why not go for them?

In just over two months’ time, how high could their attributes have been boosted?

Pure skills without physical support are nothing!

Duge had been observing the situation on the field, and Wei Jiuchu had specifically singled out Gao Ming, indicating that he was wary of Gao Ming.

And Gao Ming had kept his eyes closed from the start, obviously under the control of the other party’s skills.

First, take out the one controlling Gao Ming!

Duge scanned the field and quickly locked onto the sleepy-eyed guy behind Wei Jiuchu, sending out a Seven-Hole Touch.

Bang!

A muffled sound.

The lanky youth let out a pained groan, unable to react, and instantly exploded, following in Old Lu’s footsteps.

With his death,

Gao Ming immediately opened his eyes.

“Damn!” Wei Jiuchu’s pupils suddenly contracted, and with a grit of his teeth, he reached forward with both hands, “Burn to death.”

Two streams of flame burst forth from his palms, like two fire dragons, swallowing up Gao Ming.

“Fire magic?”

Seeing the fire dragons suddenly emitted by Wei Jiuchu, Duge felt a jolt inside him.

To be honest, this was the first time he had seen another magician.

But distant waters can’t quench immediate thirst, even if he could summon the water from the moat, it was too late to intercept the fire dragons, so he could only watch helplessly as the fire dragons swallowed Gao Min.

Luo Shuang subconsciously covered her eyes.

“Son of a bitch!” Gao Ming got burned and couldn’t help cursing, roaring out, “Sword Eighteen!”

In an instant.

Sword Qi filled the air.

Once again, it pierced through Wei Jiuchu and the others.

Thump!

Thump!

Thump!

Everyone, including Wei Jiuchu, was killed by the thousand swords, each dying with eyes wide open, gazing at Gao Ming and the others close at hand, faces filled with reluctance, just a few steps away.

A person who had been hit by Sword Eighteen once would inevitably fail to dodge the second time, because the image of Sword Eighteen had been etched so deeply into their minds that a conditional reflex would recall the power of Sword Eighteen, leaving them with no choice but to die.

…

“Son of a bitch!”

At East Ridge Pass, Pei Maer swallowed his saliva, “Are they insane, is this really Sword Eighteen?”

“Brother Pei, let’s retreat!” The youth with the broken leg licked his lips, “Wei Jiuchu and his seven men have lost, and we’re only two…”

“The stronger Sword Eighteen is, the quicker they die.” Pei Maer remained unmoved, his gaze intently on Yun Yao, who was stark naked, with all her clothes burnt away, “This is our chance, I want them to kill each other…”

Looking down at the people below the city, Pei Maer swiftly activated his skills.

The crowd who had just breathed a sigh of relief instantly saw red.

“Wei Jiuchu, your life is forfeit, Sword Eighteen!” Gao Ming pointed at Xiang Li in front of him and shouted loudly.

“Scared of you? Bring it on!” Xiang Li, not knowing what she had seen, charged at Gao Ming with flushed eyes and opened her clothes, also activating her skills, but although they shouted fiercely, nothing happened.

Amidst the chaos, with minds not clear, how could they unleash the power of Sword Eighteen?

Wu Chang charged towards Ge Zong, who immediately did a handstand, and under the influence of the skills, Wu Chang instantly turned somersaults in front of him…

Cao Lin, on the other hand, struck at the State Preceptor with a backhanded sword, and the State Preceptor, not to be outdone, drew his sword and fought Cao Lin. But just as their blades made contact, they were affected by Ge Zong’s skills, one stretching up their left leg into a perfect split and the other bending over to bite their own groin…

Only Dou Xiu and Shi Ji, who were relatively far away, were not affected for the moment and fought each other earnestly with real swords…

…

“What’s going on?” Pei Maer was baffled. “Where’s Sword Eighteen?”

“Brother Pei, could it be they were never really affected by the skills and are just fooling you?” the youth with the limp asked. “Otherwise, a single move of Sword Eighteen should have taken out everyone here instantly. If Leng Shi dared to draw you out, he must have had a contingency plan…”

“There’s something wrong with Sword Eighteen.” Pei Maer’s expression turned grave, making a decision on the spot, “Let’s go.”

“We can’t leave now.” A loud shout rang out, and Duge had already shot forth, the Admonishment Vine coiling and smashing down at Pei Maer.

Pei Maer was horrified and blurted out, “How are you not under control?”

But immediately afterwards, he saw the red-eyed Duge.

This was a clear sign of being under control.

Pei Maer hesitated, not understanding what was happening, when the vine crashed heavily onto his raised arm to block.

With a snap!

The arm broke!

But Pei Maer couldn’t feel the pain; he felt a warmth spreading over him, the world spinning around him, and all the people nearby seemed to vanish.

All that remained in his eyes was Duge, and the person before him seemed worthy of all his passion. Pei Maer couldn’t help but extend his arms towards Duge, but what greeted him was a fierce strike instead.

The Admonishment Vine, with its ferocious wind, smashed at his temple, the immense force sweeping away half his head…
