Chapter 177: It's a case of injuring the enemy by two thousand while losing one thousand of your own.
Mu Jianjian and her two companions faced the man head-on, showing no fear of his overwhelming aura. Instead, they pressed on even harder, narrowing the gap between them.
Above the man was a gigantic, boundless toad-shaped cauldron, while he was restrained by two people in front and behind him. Just as he was frowning and thinking about how to break free, a hearty laugh came from beside him.
A fat man in loose robes landed and casually flipped open the toad cauldron with a wave of his hand. His eyes were almost obscured by the fat on his face. "If you can't solve these problems, don't bother going back to report to your master. You might as well stay in your other world and play with rats."
"You know nothing." The man cursed, extinguishing the flames from the Toad Cauldron attacking his body with his true energy. He then looked at Old Xu and Ye Xuanzhi, who were rushing over from behind the fat man, and said, "I think you should eat your own brain instead of eating and drinking all day."
The fat man wasn't angry. He said seriously, "Something's happened to the skinny guy. We need to work together to finish this quickly. There's someone with strange secret techniques over there. I don't know where he came from..."
He turned his gaze to Ye Xuanzhi, the black-haired man rushing towards him, his expression strange.
"Alright, let's finish this quickly." The man glanced around. Unlike the solemn-looking people around him, the two men, one tall and one thin, one fat and one short, stood side by side with their backs to each other, their true energy surrounding them.
When Mu Jianjian saw another person from the Upper Realm arrive, Ye Xuanzhi and Elder Xu also arrived. She shrunk the Toad Cauldron and put it back in her hand, shielding Sang Wanyue with her body, while her right eye discerned the fluctuations of true energy.
Seeing that they were all in bad shape, Mu Jianjian touched her right eye with her hand.
I couldn't use the pupil-changing technique in the other world before, but I can now.
If they were to confront each other head-on without revealing Ye Xuanzhi's true strength, they would most likely lose.
However, if the pupil-shifting technique can be used to switch positions and seal the eyes... then endless possibilities will arise.
"Yueyue, Ye Xuanzhi, Gong Yuanjin, at the moment they use their techniques, I'll try to switch places with my pupil technique."
Mu Jianjian secretly transmitted her voice to the three of them.
Then, she gave individual instructions to each person.
“Yueyue, you’ve already used ‘Blood Reversal’ several times. If you can’t hold on any longer, I’m here for you.”
"Ye Xuanzhi, you must not reveal your true form. Avoid using mystical techniques if possible."
"Gong Yuanjin, if my pupil-changing technique succeeds, I will use your crane to block the way."
The moment Mu Jianjian finished speaking, a dark gray wave surged from the man's body, rising from the sky like a ring-shaped scythe, slashing straight at the three of them!
The golden threads surrounding Mu Jianjian flashed and she immediately disappeared from her original spot, appearing behind the fat man!
She reached out to the fat man's body. Seeing her move, Old Xu immediately followed up with a palm strike to restrain her. In a flash, the fat man's flesh twisted strangely like a rag, dodging the attack.
"Hehe, little Core Formation girl, your courage is commendable," the fat man licked his lips, leaving a few drops of sticky saliva, making him look extremely greasy. "It will taste delicious, won't it?"
Even the two who were just now couldn't do anything to him, so what can this little girl who is not even stable in the Core Formation stage do to him?
Mu Jianjian felt disgusted. Her attack failed, and she quickly retreated, but her feet inexplicably slipped and sank into the ground.
But she is no longer the Mu Jianjian who could only use her pupil technique a few times in the Xuan Tian Secret Realm.
Her figure flashed and landed elsewhere right under the other's nose. Mu Jianjian looked at Sang Wanyue and Ye Xuanzhi, who were fighting with the man, with an unprecedented calmness and seriousness in her eyes.
Opportunities are hard to come by, so she had to seize even the one in ten thousand chance.
"Ye Xuanzhi, when we first met, I remember you used a secret technique that could create the illusion of increased cultivation level," Mu Jianjian transmitted her voice secretly.
“Yes, but Jianjian, that spell only lasts a short time, and it’s just an illusion…” Ye Xuanzhi explained.
"Use it when I tell you to."
"good."
Although Ye Xuanzhi didn't know what Mu Jianjian was planning, he trusted her judgment.
The group faced off against the two who were using all their strength. Although they couldn't fight to a draw, they didn't allow the other side to gain any advantage either.
Therefore, the man and the fat man became increasingly anxious and impatient, and their moves became more and more fierce and urgent.
"Now!" Mu Jianjian seized the opportunity and shouted at Ye Xuanzhi. Under everyone's watchful eyes, his cultivation level, originally at the Foundation Establishment stage, gradually rose to—
Nascent Soul!
The man and the fat man were shocked. No wonder they couldn't kill the other party. One of them actually had the strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator!
The two panicked, looked at each other and nodded, and finally decided to unleash their full power in one strike.
Dark, ghostly substances began to rise within a hundred paces of the man, and the fat man's body suddenly grew two sizes larger, becoming thicker and more robust, facing directly at the group of people on the ground!
Once their attack lands, those people below will probably be reduced to ashes. Let's see how they can still jump around then!
"Gotcha." A woman's voice rang out, and before the fat man could react, he found himself transported to the deep gray true energy surging from the man!
His small eyes finally widened, the bulging eyeballs looking out of place and frightening on his bloated face. He stared in disbelief at the girl behind him who was twisting his arm with air.
What's this?
No wonder she kept trying to get close to him and touch him!
The intention was to cause their true energy to collide and kill each other, but doing so...
She'd rather die inside than keep him trapped here!
Has she gone mad?!
"Ants are just ants, all they know are tricks that hurt themselves as well as their enemies!" The fat man's face twitched, completely unable to accept that he had been outmaneuvered by a Core Formation girl from the lower realm.
When he accepted the task assigned by his master, he did so in his true form!
In other words, he won't wake up in the upper realm again like some people who use soul transfer techniques; once he's dead, he's truly dead!
“No,” Mu Jianjian said, looking at the overwhelming force coming towards her and feeling the burning pain on her skin, “it’s a case of injuring the enemy by two thousand while losing one thousand of your own.”
“You can kill me like this, but I won’t die! This isn’t my body, I’ll come back to life!” The fat man had never been so close to fear; he could feel his teeth chattering. “But you will! You will die here!”
To intimidate those around him, he even started lying, but when he met the girl's gaze, all the fat man saw was nakedness—
Mocking!
She mocked his incompetence and helplessness in the face of death!
Meanwhile, the man on the other side was also terrified. Once the secret technique that gathered most of his true energy was activated, he was now caught between a rock and a hard place, unable to advance or retreat!
When the two collide, only death awaits them!
"No, no, no... You're a madman, how could there be someone like you..." the fat man muttered to himself. At this moment, his body had already come into contact with the first wave of true energy, and red spots and cracks appeared on his skin. His flesh had been roasted alive!
He tried to capitalize on the other person's moment of weakness, but to no avail.
This person didn't give him a chance, nor did she leave herself a way out!
Because her cultivation level was not as high as those around her, Mu Jianjian's skin was even worse than Fatty's, but she still didn't move an inch.
