"Brother Qing? Something's not right. Isn't it good that we successfully killed them?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Bai asked with some confusion.
"Smoothly? Yes, it was too smooth!"
Qing Sheng was startled and looked at the three mysterious Star Radiance Realm beings who had already lost all signs of life. Then, Qing Sheng scanned the battlefield once more, and his expression immediately turned somewhat grim.
"Xiang Ming, Wang Hao, Gan Yuan, retreat immediately!"
Suddenly, Qing Sheng shouted, because at that moment, under those golden eyes, on the battlefield, whether the mysterious beings were dead or alive, faint traces of bloody green aura were gradually gathering at a certain point in the air.
The blood energy gathered in an extremely concealed place. In the midst of the chaotic battlefield, it would be impossible to detect it in a short time unless one carefully focused their mind.
Qing Sheng frowned, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.
On the battlefield, the mysterious force of over a hundred men, whose lowest level was the peak of the Radiant Realm, has been reduced to less than ten remnants in less than half an hour.
Although Xiang Ming and the others were somewhat puzzled as to why Qing Sheng wanted them to retreat at this time, they were always happy to hear Qing Sheng's name.
"Let's go, you big oaf!"
Gan Yuan, somewhat helplessly, stabbed Wang Hao, who was inside the sacred armor, with his sword, thus pulling him back from his impending charge.
Clearly, this wasn't the first time Gan Yuan had done something like this.
"Hehe, couldn't stop in time!"
Wang Hao gave a somewhat embarrassed, goofy smile, then swung his hammer again, smashing the unlucky mysterious man into a bloody pulp. Only then did he turn around and follow Gan Yuan and the others towards the direction where Qing Sheng and Lin Bai were.
"What's wrong with Brother Qing? Is something wrong?"
A moment later, the five people reunited, and Xiang Ming and the other two looked at Qing Sheng.
"Don't you all feel that our attack on this mysterious team went far too smoothly this time?...
Qingsheng shared his thoughts and observations with Lin Bai and the other three.
"this..."
"really..."
Upon hearing this, all four of them found it somewhat strange.
This mysterious team includes three Star Radiance Realm experts and nearly eighty Ascension Realm experts, so their overall combat strength is not weak.
Even though their five-person team was somewhat abnormal, and their combat power was extraordinary, even heaven-defying, looking back at the battle that had almost ended in less than half an hour, upon reflection, it was indeed a bit too smooth.
Moreover, with the reminder of the birthday celebration, and now that they are carefully concentrating their spiritual power to perceive, there is indeed something slowly brewing on the ground where corpses are now strewn everywhere.
"What should we do, Brother Qing? Should we leave?"
Xiang Ming wanted to command the Night Ghost to revisit the place where the battle had taken place, but at this moment, even the Night Ghost, which had no independent thought, seemed to be expressing a sense of fear to Xiang Ming. This gave Xiang Ming an extremely bad premonition, and he looked solemnly at the place where the bloody green aura was gathering. However, apart from the surrounding bloody aura, he could not see anything unusual there for the time being.
"I'm afraid we won't be able to leave!"
Qing Sheng's face fell, and he looked in that direction with some helplessness. Among the five people present, he had the highest cultivation level and the strongest spiritual perception. Xiang Ming, Lin Bai, and the other three had not noticed, but Qing Sheng clearly sensed that at the point where the blood energy was gathering, there was a pair of invisible eyes watching them.
Those eyes have already locked onto them!
"Lin Bai, bombard that spot!"
Qing Sheng, unwilling to give the other party more time to consolidate, decisively gave instructions to Lin Bai.
"Okay, Brother Qing!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Bai instantly threw several Annihilation Stones in the direction Qing Sheng was pointing.
"Boom boom boom!"
Several explosions rang out in succession, but under the watchful eyes and perception of the five people celebrating the birthday, there was no joy on their faces.
When the flames subsided, the space above the area blasted by Lin Bai's annihilation attack rippled like waves on water, but the area where the blood energy had condensed remained completely undisturbed.
And there, at this moment, a pair of scarlet eyes had already coalesced.
"The aura of the Moon Realm?!"
"No, that's not right, not entirely. Half-step Moon Realm? No, it's even stronger."
Everyone felt the aura emanating from those scarlet eyes floating in mid-air, and their expressions turned grim.
Now they finally understand that they were the ones being hunted, and the roles of hunter and prey are about to be reversed.
Those hundred or so mysterious creatures from before were just bait!
Their appearance was probably just to lure the five of them out.
Qing Sheng even suspected that even if the five of them didn't kill those mysterious figures, they might still be killed by the time their small team showed up.
Those mystics would also sacrifice their own lives to summon this mystery, which has not yet revealed its full form.
As if to verify Qing Sheng's conjecture, the few remaining mysterious creatures did not flee. Instead, they reached out and slapped their own heads, shattering their skulls and dying instantly. Then, wisps of blood energy floated from their bodies and merged into the air.
Less than half a minute after Lin Bai used Annihilation Bombardment, first the eyes, then the nose and mouth, and finally the entire head, the new type of mysterious creature, which was formed from the blood energy of more than a hundred mysterious creatures, including three mysterious creatures at the Star Radiance Realm, was finally celebrating its birthday, and its full appearance was revealed in front of Lin Bai and the other five.
The mysterious creature was humanoid in appearance, but it was nearly three meters tall with extremely long limbs, especially its arms, which almost dragged on the ground like two black vines. On its body, there were nearly a hundred hands of various shapes and sizes, which looked extremely creepy.
"I never imagined those mysterious people would come up with such a method!"
As the five celebrating the birthday looked at the mysterious entity that had already taken shape, their expressions grew increasingly solemn. The mysterious aura finally stopped below the Ruoyue Realm, but it was probably only an infinitesimally small distance away from the Ruoyue Realm, so small that it could be ignored.
The other side has taken the ceasefire rules to the extreme. This mysterious one, if you say he is at the Ruoyue realm, he is always just a little bit short, and his aura fluctuations have never reached the Ruoyue realm. But if you say he is not, he is definitely capable of exerting the strength of the Ruoyue realm.
According to one of the ceasefire rules between the temporary allied forces and the mysterious kingdom, those below the Moon Realm can fight each other to the death, depending on their abilities. Those above the Star Radiance Realm, of course, cannot participate.
Now, the other side has created such a mysterious situation, clearly trying to exploit a bug and lure out small teams like Qing Sheng and his group who roam the dimensional world, to annihilate them.
Qingsheng was certain that at this moment, there were definitely more than just the five of them encountering this situation in this dimensional realm.
But what right do they have to worry about others now?
It's still uncertain whether they can overcome the current crisis!
Although all five of them are genuine geniuses, facing a mysterious being capable of unleashing the power of the Moon Realm, let alone winning, it's uncertain how many moves they can even withstand.
The gap between the Ascension Realm and the Star Radiance Realm is big enough, isn't it?
The difference in perception between the Star Radiance Realm and the Moonlit Realm is beyond words.
Just like Lu Yao back then, even if she was holding Chi Chen as a hostage, what could she do? She was still instantly killed by Zhang Rong.
Moreover, Chi Chen wasn't injured in the slightest. Not even a single hair was lost.
Of course, this was also because Lu Yao was extremely unlucky, as he happened to encounter Zhang Rong, the strongest being in the Ruoyue Realm.
Even outside of these special cases, under normal circumstances, a Star Radiance Realm cultivator is practically like a chick compared to a Moonlit Realm cultivator, completely at the mercy of others.
Even Chi Chen wouldn't dare say he could fight against someone in the Ruoyue Realm. Even if he were only an average fighter in the Ruoyue Realm, he would still be an insurmountable mountain for those below the Ruoyue Realm.
"Lin Bai, Xiang Ming, Gan Yuan, Wang Hao! If you get a chance later, remember not to look back and run for your life! We can't all die here, otherwise I won't be able to face Chi Chen when he comes back!"
When Qingsheng spoke, it was clear that he was already prepared to die, but at least he wanted to buy some time for the others to escape.
"Ha, foolish humans!"
In the center of the previous battlefield, the mysterious humanoid figure materialized two feet and stepped onto the ground. A smirk appeared on its ugly face as it looked at the five people in front of it with a cold smile, as if it were looking at five corpses.
"Brother Qing, aren't you just belittling your own prestige and boosting the enemy's morale by saying that?"
"I'm tough and resilient, I'll block his attacks!"
"Kill him, Brother Qing! He's just a Moonlit Realm cultivator!"
"Brother Qing, I want to run too, but it's obvious I can't escape!"
Lin Bai, Wang Hao, Xiang Ming, and Gan Yuan stepped forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with Qing Sheng. Their eyes gleamed as they stared at the now fully formed mystery. Killing them wouldn't be that easy.
"Heh, well then, let's see just how capable he is!"
Seeing this, Qing Sheng smiled helplessly, but a smile appeared on his face. If Chi Chen were here, he probably would have already picked up his long sword and slashed at him.
Qingsheng shook his head. Today's battle can only be fought by themselves. They can't always rely on that overrated kid, can they?
