The ninth level of Qi Refining and the Foundation Establishment stage may seem like only a minor realm apart, but in reality, they are separated by an insurmountable chasm.
Even the most skilled Qi Refining cultivator would find it difficult to defeat a Foundation Establishment cultivator, let alone fight multiple opponents.
[I'm afraid you'll be subdued the moment you engage in battle.]
The swordsman shook his head and said only one sentence: "You didn't reveal your true intentions."
[You were indeed holding back. The protective magic artifact the Valley Master gave you is more than enough to allow you to withstand an attack from several Foundation Establishment cultivators.]
However, you worry that excessive use of magical artifacts might strengthen the Valley Master's control over you. You don't want to take too many risks until you find a way to counter this.
The swordsman flipped his hand, revealing a doll in his palm.
That's your senior brother's doll.
The sword cultivator made it clear that he could have chosen not to ask for your help and instead waited until they had surrounded and killed you before reaping the benefits.
The real reason he sought you out is that you cultivate the Creation Demon Art, and there is not a trace of evil in your body.
This shows that your heart is different from those demonic cultivators.
[The Azure Sword Sect is about to arrive. After much deliberation, you finally agree to cooperate.]
You've made up your mind not to fight to the death.
If you truly cannot defeat them, then prioritize survival.
With a major battle imminent, what do you choose?
1. Conserve energy and build up strength.
2. Make preparations in advance and act when the opportunity arises.
[3. Personal intervention, 3 attempt remaining.]
"If what that sword cultivator said is true, then the breakthrough point for the Azure Sword Sect should be the sect leader's son."
Should we trust that swordsman?
Su Chen fell into deep thought; this battle was unavoidable.
He was besieged by the Biluo Sword Sect from the outside, and coveted by his three senior brothers from the inside.
If the sword cultivator is untrustworthy, it means he will have to face attacks from two groups of people.
"Fine, let's try them all."
Let's see if they have any trump cards up their sleeves.
If all else fails, intervene personally.
Choose 1!
[You should conserve your energy and await the arrival of the Azure Sword Sect.]
The moon was high in the sky; it was late at night.
[You and your three senior brothers quickly leave the city and arrive at the pre-selected ambush position.]
On your way out of the city, you saw a mark left by the swordsman; he should be near you.
The Azure Sword Sect arrived as scheduled. Your three senior brothers engaged in fierce battles with the sect members, leaving you alone to face three cultivators.
[The young master of the Sword Sect frequently unleashes magical artifacts; even with your protective artifacts, the fight will still be difficult.]
[What seemed intense between the three senior brothers was actually just an act.]
Their primary concern was the Azure Sword Sect, which might suddenly launch an attack on them.
Your strength is waning, the situation is critical, and you're contemplating breaking out.
However, the young master of the Sword Sect relentlessly pursued you, giving you no chance to escape.
Just as you were preparing for a desperate fight, the sword cultivator stormed into the battlefield. The instant his powerful sword intent appeared, Gray Ham was already severely injured!
The sudden appearance of the swordsman instantly shattered the balance of the battlefield!
The two sides already distrusted each other, and with this unexpected turn of events, the charade could no longer continue!
In the blink of an eye, the two sides began fighting to the death!
[The senior brothers dared to make deals with the Sword Sect, naturally they had their own trump cards. The moment the pretense was broken, they no longer concealed their true intentions, and immediately threw the Azure Sword Sect into chaos.]
As expected, the sword cultivator's weakness was also well understood by the senior brothers.
[You faced the Sword Sect's young master alone, which greatly reduced the pressure, but since you were evenly matched, neither of you could gain the upper hand.]
[For a time, it turned into a stalemate.]
However, the sword cultivator grew increasingly fierce in battle, and together with the people from the Azure Sky Sword Sect, they forced the two senior brothers into a series of defeats.
They began to consider withdrawing.
Finally, after Blackblood lost an arm, they managed to break through the encirclement with you.
As for the swordsman, he beheaded the young master of the Sword Sect with a single strike, seized the sword, and lured the Sword Sect members away.
This seems to fulfill the agreement between you.
You were wary of your two senior brothers and dared not get too close, but on the way back to Liangren Valley, you felt your head growing increasingly dizzy, and when you came to your senses, your body was already out of your control.
[You are dead. 】
"Can't we leave with our senior brother?"
Su Chen quickly glanced through the records. His senior brother had poisoned him, and whether he left with them or not, the outcome seemed to be the same.
"Try option 2."
……
Or is he dead?
Su Chen frowned upon seeing the identical result.
"The poison has been cleared. We had the swordsman kill two people, but they still died."
Option two almost allowed Su Chen to turn the tide. The Biluo Sword Sect was left with only the young master and two half-crippled Foundation Establishment cultivators, and of the three senior brothers, only Greedy Serpent remained.
Su Chen even held back, wary of the other party.
In the end, he couldn't even withstand a single blow from his opponent and was instantly killed.
"In this situation, it will be difficult to break through unless one can break through to the Foundation Establishment stage."
Su Chen was very troubled. His foundation was unstable. Now that he had broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, he might be able to get through the current crisis, but the final evaluation would probably not be very high.
But if we don't break through now, it seems there's no way to escape being killed.
"Two gold-level attributes, is neither of them usable?"
This demonic energy is terrifying; can't it be used by others?
"Fine, let's intervene!"
As Su Chen chose to intervene, the scene before him changed in an instant.
"So that old man was a sword cultivator?"
He had a kind face and looked no different from any other elderly person.
You can't judge a book by its cover.
Su Chen felt the gaze and turned around. In the teahouse he had just come from, the old man with the sword on his back was watching him go.
"Let's stir up the waters here first. Since my senior brother has set this up, I should also give them a good gift."
Su Chen quickly headed towards the city's intelligence agency.
The mother plant of the Azure Flower wants far more than just them!
Chapter 57 Everything is Ready (Tuesday, please continue reading!)
"It seems our junior brother does have some brains after all."
The plan may have been exposed.
The moment Su Chen entered the intelligence agency, his whereabouts were already detected.
"so what?
From the moment he chose to leave Liangren Valley, his fate was sealed.
"He spread the news about the mother plant of the Biluo flower."
Black Blood didn't care. "It's fake anyway, so what if it gets scattered?"
Greedy Snake's expression froze upon hearing this. "Who did he tell the news to?"
"Two demonic sects and two righteous sects are all mortal enemies of Liangren Valley."
However, given the speed at which information spreads, everyone in the city will likely know about the operation before tonight.
During the previous treasure hunt in the Great City, Liangren Valley killed many people and caused a lot of trouble.
Now that others know they're here, the news about the Azure Flower, even if it's false, will become true.
"As expected of the Valley Master's personal disciple, he is truly our good junior brother!"
The greedy snake's eyes flickered, as if it was thinking of a countermeasure.
"What's there to be afraid of?"
Kill as many as you come!
When has Liangren Valley ever been afraid of anyone?
Black Blood wiped the knife in his hand. His fighting style was the kind that made him stronger the more he fought; the bigger and more chaotic the scene, the more excited he became.
"If you want to die, don't take us with you."
Do you know how many Foundation Establishment cultivators are in this city?
Tonight's situation is likely slipping out of our control.
Gray Whistle spoke in a low voice.
