High Martial Arts: Becoming a Liver Master

however.

Bruce's every move was clearly displayed under Auster's watchful eye.

Auster pretended not to know anything and put on a very concerned expression: "Little brother, don't be afraid. If you encounter any danger, I will definitely stand in front of you."

"Big brother! I..." Bruce felt a pang of guilt upon hearing this.

I deserve to die! My older brother protected me so much, and I still tried to scheme against him. I'm such a beast.

This self-reproach made him want to give up his plan to scheme against Auster.

but.

A devil's voice kept echoing in his mind:

"Are you stupid? This world is a dog-eat-dog world; you can do anything to become stronger."

"Your relationship with Auster was only recently established, and it's not that good yet!"

"His concern for you might stem from ulterior motives. You might as well scheme against him too. That scepter can enhance your strength by 30%, and if fully activated, it can allow you to fight opponents of higher levels."

"Don't you want such a powerful weapon?"

Two opposing voices were arguing, causing Bruce inner turmoil and struggle, but he soon made a decision.

"Brother! Don't overthink it. We're just trying to survive, and we can't let Commander Luo down."

Auster looked concerned and patted Bruce on the shoulder again. "Come on, let's continue and familiarize ourselves with the power of the scepter so we can better deal with the upcoming crisis."

"Okay, big brother!" Bruce was excited to be able to touch the scepter again, and his voice trembled slightly.

"Sam, Buffalo, and Zinas, you three come over here too. We'll need your help later!"

"Yes!" The three responded in unison and came to Bruce and Auster.

As they approached, the three felt the biting cold intensify, and felt a sense of resistance, not daring to touch the scepter.

However, they had no choice but to obey Auster and Bruce's orders, because the three of them were of lower strength and status than the two, and those who disobeyed could be executed at any time.

The three men steeled themselves and reached out to touch the scepter, while Sam, the most timid of them all, couldn't help but look behind Auster.

Behind Oss lies the entrance to the trial.

The vortex gate at the entrance was blocked by two fist-sized, blood-red chains crossed over each other.

The surface of the chains was covered with countless blood droplets. Due to some force, the blood droplets evaporated, forming a blood mist that enveloped the entire vortex gate, making it look like a rotating pool of blood.

Other drops of blood dripped slowly due to gravity.

The bottom of the chain was fixed to the floor, where a pool of blood had gathered. The blood flowed in one direction and eventually reached Auster's heel.

……

"Found it, the key point of the formation is 300 meters west of the northeast corner."

Less than a minute later, Li Kaishan's joyful voice reached everyone's ears.

"Are you sure?" Chen Yi asked hurriedly.

"I checked with Twelve and Thirteen twice, and now we're checking a third time to confirm it's the true core of the formation!"

"Alright, let's go over there now and destroy the array's core together."

Chen Yi and the others teleported to Li Kaishan and the others, and confirmed once again that it was indeed the true core of the formation.

"Enough with the nonsense, let's just smash it to pieces."

Chen Yi was also very familiar with formations, and finding the core of the formation and destroying it was very easy for him.

"I'll help!" Situ Kong used the laws of space to open a spatial passage, leading directly to the core of the array.

Chen Er and Chen San immediately took action, each launching an arrow formed from true essence to attack the array's core.

"boom!"

When the arrow struck the core of the array, it exploded, and the immense destructive force caused the core and the surrounding one-meter radius to collapse and shatter instantly.

Boom boom boom...

A series of explosions rang out, and the formation immediately lost its function, shattering with a deafening roar. The energy spread, creating a gust of wind that blew the poisonous mist in all directions.

Chen Yi and the others immediately circulated their true energy to raise their protective qi and isolate themselves from the poison.

The formation shattered, and the group immediately stepped inside.

……

the other side.

The sound of the formation breaking was like thunder, and Auster and the others had keen mental perception, so they knew the moment the formation was destroyed.

"Fuck! Damn it, how did they break the formation so quickly?"

Except for Auster, everyone else's faces turned very ugly.

Some of the weaker team members, their faces filled with fear, looked at Auster and Bruce.

"What are you afraid of? Haven't you felt the power of my scepter?"

"The array outside is only meant to hinder their progress."

"What's there to be afraid of? They're not gods. Since they've come in, let's give them a good lesson, kill them, and offer them as a sacrifice to our fallen brothers."

Everyone immediately snapped out of their daze, and the fear on their faces vanished without a trace.

Yes!

What's there to be afraid of!

What we should fear is the enemy!

They had just witnessed the power of that scepter; no one could escape its punishment.

"Brother! You're right, we're not afraid! Now that they're in, let's make sure they don't leave alive."

Bruce said viciously. After experiencing so much frustration, his anger had reached its peak. If he didn't vent it, he wouldn't be able to sleep day and night.

"Kill them all!"

Sam's fear subsided, but anger surged within him, and he shouted excitedly.

"Kill them all!"

"Kill them all!"

The other team members echoed this sentiment, and morale soared.

the other side.

Chen Yi and his group advanced two kilometers and encountered another formation with some traps.

The group split up again to search for the key points and weak points of the formation. As for the traps, they were useless to them; they could easily detect them with their mental perception.

In order not to waste time, they did not deliberately look for the core of the formation, but instead attacked and destroyed the weak points directly.

If a corner of the formation collapses, it becomes easy to destroy and find the core of the formation.

Rumble...

In an instant, bombings rang out one after another, thousands of cannons fired simultaneously, and the roar of artillery fire filled the air.

Chen Yi and the others had to speed up because the spatial collapse continued, following them like a shadow.

They have verified that the spatial turbulence formed by the spatial collapse is extremely dangerous; if any one of them falls into the spatial turbulence, it will be a certain death.

Even for Situ Kong, the same applies to Martial Venerables in this space.

……

"Fuck, what's going on? How come there are 17 of them?"

Bruce's expression changed drastically after sensing the number of people outside attempting to break through the formation using his mental power.

"Big brother, there are only nine of us. If they all rush at us, we..."

Before he could finish speaking, Astor interrupted him: "Little brother, what's the panic? Don't you have any faith in us?"

"No, no, no..."
