Chapter 33 Taunting

There is a subtlety in the roughness, and even without any communication, they have already reached a tacit understanding and jointly decided on the way of fighting.

To put it in understandable terms, it means to send Qi Xueyi out first to see if you can trick your opponent.

The main purpose is to prevent students from rushing into the competition recklessly. Within the eleven-hour limit, all students basically agree that the first three hours are a time limit for mutual deception.

Therefore, even if Qi Xueyi walked out, the three people from the other team hiding in the dark did not launch an attack immediately.

In Su Yu's words, "It is meaningless to rush to Qi Xueyi now. In normal combat, we do need to prioritize the support, but if we completely solve the output, the support itself will become a wooden stake with no combat ability."

"I think it's more appropriate to prioritize He Jing in this match."

The previous time I saw her, I only saw Su Yu as a gentle and profound woman. Now looking at her again, I also found that her subjectivity is far superior to that of ordinary people.

He Jingtong's ability is unknown, but as a transfer student, there are two possibilities for his origin. One is that he transferred from another school. If this is the case, he would not transfer during the summer vacation, so one can be ruled out, so there is only one left.

"That is to say, he entered the academy after suddenly awakening his powers." Su Yu gave a summary of the information.

The psychic subject does not require high academic qualifications, and one can be recommended to major well-known universities in the future. In this case, He Jingtong can repeat his first year of high school and systematically learn the knowledge of the psychic world from scratch, which will not have any impact on his future.

In other words, the fact that He Jing is currently in the first year of high school proves that he must have advantages that are no less than Qi Xueyi and Jian Zirui, so he was able to overcome the reality of learning from scratch and become a transfer student in the first year of high school.

In this way, he can legitimately join the team of those two people.

Otherwise, Cui Tong would not be able to arrange a character that would hold the team back, and he would not be able to form a three-person team, and could only form a two-person team between Qi Xueyi and Jian Zirui.

Chi Qian and others were well aware of the advantages of those two men.

One is a support who can fight and heal, and the other is a hexagonal character who can transform into a berserker at critical moments and has magic damage and defense.

Qi Xueyi was alone, which was like fishing. Combined with Su Yu's advice, Lu Shaoyuan quickly made a decision: "Chi Qian will go to test us later, and we will locate the new student. The test will start soon, and Chi Qian will have to escape quickly. Finally, we will roughly estimate the new student's ability based on Jian Zirui's reaction. If we can trick him into thinking about his combat habits, that would be great."

“Don’t expect to gain any advantage from this kind of test battle. Just complete the task of the test.” Lu Shaoyuan warned Chi Qian, who was acting like an uncontrollable wild bull.

The latter shrugged and gave a ruffian smile.

On the other side, rather than hiding, He Jingtong and Jian Zirui casually found a patch of lush grass and sat down...

The two were sharing a piece of meatballs that the latter brought with him.

"This is made of sesame and walnuts, and I added some homemade tea oil to it." Jian Zirui held up a meatball that looked very substantial. The whole meatball was walnut-colored. Rather than being food, it looked more like a specially processed and made collectible. It had a kind of oily beauty.

"Do you want to taste it?"

"We are eating meatballs here while he is standing there alone. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?" He Jingtong glanced at Qi Xueyi who was more than ten meters away from him.

"It doesn't matter." Jian Zirui waved his hand nonchalantly. "It doesn't matter whether Qi Xueyi dies or not. As long as the two of us can defeat the other three, we will still be the final winners."

"Also, he was standing there, and anyone could tell he was fishing. So instead of being on high alert and looking at the grass all over the hill and trying to find an opponent among them, it would be better to wait for them to show up on their own."

The battle time gate is only eleven hours. If they don't want a draw, both sides will have to take the initiative to attack. Jian Zirui doesn't want to take the initiative to attack, but it's not that she doesn't want to rely on active offensiveness to gain advantage and victory.

She simply felt it was unnecessary.

After rewrapping the meatball's wrapper, Jian Zirui placed the meatball in He Jingtong's palm. Her eyes were clear and her expression was lucid: "Friendship comes first, which means that we cannot kill our classmates and try our best to win. It also means that we need to go all out."

"Instead of me thinking about this kind of tangled problem, I should leave it to my opponent and let them decide. As for me, I just need to respond accordingly based on their response, and it will seem reasonable."

After all, Jian Zirui was born in a Taoist temple, so her mentality always reflects the Taoist philosophy of nature that she had learned from a strange angle.

"That's right." He Jingtong nodded and took the meatball.

Qi Xueyi, who was more than ten meters away, had been sitting there like a stake for more than ten minutes, but no one came and no trace of any opponent appeared.

This made him grit his teeth and he couldn't help but say, "If you want to kill me, just do it now. There's no need to temper my mentality in the opening test."

It's not easy to be an assistant, and it's really hard to catch fish.

And what a coincidence, Chi Qian's team of three were originally classmates of Qi Xueyi and Jian Zirui.

The constant mental pressure made Qi Xueyi feel irritated, but the next second, he dodged the sudden attack by quickly leaning to the side. He looked up and saw Chi Qian, who was half-bent over like a wild animal with a big smile on his face, in the place where there was no one.

"Yo." Chi Qian greeted, and when he found that his attack missed, he decisively retreated more than ten meters, looking constantly alert to his surroundings.

Qi Xueyi didn't take it seriously and didn't approve of his fake performance. He even said contemptuously: "We have been classmates for a year, how can I not know you?"

If it was a single-player battle, Chi Qian would most likely launch a general attack on Qi Xueyi. And it would be a continuous and fierce attack, ensuring that Qi Xueyi would not have the slightest chance to talk.

Because only in this way could Chi Qian quickly defeat Qi Xueyi, who was a support and did not have any super output ability, and make him mentally collapse.

And if he didn't do that, it only means one thing, that they knew he was the bait, and chose to determine the coordinates of the fisherman based on the location of the bait.

However, this also has its advantages, because it means that the rough estimate before the battle that I would most likely be facing Shanglu Shaoyuan as an inferior horse will no longer occur again.

Whether they would be killed by his sword first as Chi Qian said, or be poisoned to death as he said...it all depends on them.

Teammates are unlikely to help.

As classmates, knowing each other, it seems to have become an instinct to predict each other's situation.

I have to say that the new type of quiz that Lao Cui came up with at the beginning of the school year really helped students quickly understand the power of being smart.

For example, Su Yu and Lu Shaoyuan, who originally wanted to kill He Jing together, reacted quickly after discovering that the two were together. They quickly gave up on them and decisively chose to turn back and try to join forces with Chi Qian to quickly deal with Qi Xueyi.

The idea of ​​knife assistance was not even considered by Su Yu and Lu Shaoyuan at first.

Because it is a bait. If you bite the hook, your mouth may be damaged. If you don't bite the hook, you won't be able to find the exact location of the fisherman.

It's both difficult and annoying.

But who would have thought that the two fishermen not only shared the same bait, but also used the same fishing rod.

Over there, He Jingtong and Jian Zirui, who were discovered at the same time as they were discovered, quickly caught up with them.

Not wanting to get into a six-person melee right at the start, Su Yu's eyelids jumped, and she chose to lie low, trying her best to reduce her presence.

Once she hid, Lu Shaoyuan would not be able to pull anyone to Chi Qian's side, because that would only make Chi Qian, who already had the advantage, lose the opportunity to send Qi Xueyi out first.

At the same time, Lu Shaoyuan also faced He Jingtong and Jian Zirui "alone".

"Isn't it a bit of a loss to beat him? Why don't we go back and help Qi Xueyi?" He Jingtong said in a low voice, his tone a little hesitant.

Lu Shaoyuan's abilities are indeed difficult to compare.

The so-called taunt is that if the opponent is hit, it will prompt the opponent to attack you with all his strength. If the opponent is not hit directly, the opponent will also start to attack Lu Shaoyuan unconsciously.

This is the unique power of bias characteristics.

The only solution is to either defeat him in one go or stay away from him completely.

If they want to defeat the opponent in one breath, Su Yu, who is hiding in the dark, may come back to support Chi Qian at any time. It is basically equivalent to that while Lu Shaoyuan is forced to withstand the pressure, Qi Xueyi will also face two people and be quickly stabbed.

"No, we don't care about him." Jian Zirui shook her head.

"When Qi Xueyi and Chi Qian face off, Qi Xueyi will definitely not miss the opportunity to use his auxiliary body to confront the Berserker. And if we go to fight Lu Shaoyuan, we will obviously suffer a loss. So instead of doing that, it is better to throw Su Yu out first."

It was as if the opposite side discovered that they shared a fishing rod and decisively turned around to target Qi Xueyi.

Throw one out first.

Three against one is always easier than three against three.

Unexpectedly, both sides thought so.

There was no way Su Yu would choose to give up on this teammate who would most likely be besieged unless Lu Shaoyuan was truly forced into a one-on-one fight.

The situation is not yet dangerous enough to require a choice, so the other side can only remain one-on-one.

But Jian Zirui also thought so, so she and He Jingtong would not waste their energy to attack Lu Shaoyuan.

In other words, the one-on-one situation that Lu Shaoyuan is currently facing is actually still a scam.

It depends on who can remain stable.

Jian Zirui and He Jingtong are both very stable.

The former knew that Qi Xueyi was a supporting role, and he really wanted to fight Chi Qian head-on. No one cared whether the final result of the fight was a win or a loss, he just wanted the process.

Besides, even if Qi Xueyi was stabbed, Jian Zirui didn't think that she and He Jingtong would not win.

Different from this, Chi Qian and his team are not so good.

Su Yu's ability is very suitable for operating in secret, and with Chi Qian, who can easily attract everyone's attention in a fight, the cooperation between the two is simply seamless. Not to mention Lu Shaoyuan, who can act as a protector or an offensive vanguard.

This kind of all-round team will have a hard time if they are not careful, but it is the opponent who is not careful.

Everyone knew that Qi Xueyi was a bait, so he wanted to locate He Jingtong, but he was faced with He Jingtong and Jian Zirui...

This unexpected fact proved that the future battle situation would be completely under Jian Zirui's control. Lu Shaoyuan couldn't stand the feeling of being surrounded but not attacked. He frowned, and in order not to be discovered by his opponent, he hid all his emotions under his calm face.

If he wants to break out of the siege, he has to attack, but the only one who can help him is the assassin Su Yu.

Su Yu does not have the absolute power to break through the current situation. After all, she has to face Jian Zirui, who can be called a hexagonal warrior, and He Jingtong, whose true ability is currently unknown.

Chi Qian did have the power to break the impasse, but he had to kill Qi Xue first.

Simply put, once Lu Shaoyuan launched an attack, it was equivalent to proactively telling Su Yu that he had made his choice.

And if he was attacked, it meant that Su Yu would need to make a choice.

Staying won't give you any advantage, but leaving will allow you to exchange assists.

Choose.

This question weighed heavily on Lu Shaoyuan and Su Yu's minds.

The former finally took an attacking stance, aiming at a point not far away, holding a weapon, just staring at him, but there was no actual attack from the two men.

Su Yu, hiding in the dark, looked at Jian Zirui's face from afar across the green grass, which never changed her expression, and gritted her teeth.

She decided to stay and try to run away with Lu Shaoyuan.

After all, those two choices related to trade-offs are not absolutely necessary.

At worst, the two of them would die here together, leaving Chi Qian with a knife to kill Qi Xueyi, and it would be a one-on-one fight in the end.

The situation is not so bad that we will lose immediately——

The reverse fishing was successful, and Su Yu appeared from the darkness. Jian Zirui and He Jingtong looked at each other, one holding a peach wood sword and the other holding a ritual knife, and at the same time locked onto Su Yu who appeared.

Su Yu realized that she was the target and retreated quickly. However, it was not so easy for her to return to the darkness after emerging from it.

Especially since the current battle site is a flat area with only grass as cover.

Lu Shaoyuan also reacted.

There was no need to make a choice, as the opponent had no intention of attacking him at all.

When he thought he was being held down, he actually held down two other people as well.

But he couldn't blame Su Yu, asking why she didn't take the opportunity to help Chi Qian and send Qi Xueyi out quickly.

Because Lu Shaoyuan also discovered that Su Yu's appearance and the rapid pursuit of her was equivalent to him being the bait not long ago.

He hurriedly caught up with her, and with the help of the miraculous effect of his ability bias, Lu Shaoyuan was able to change the direction of He Jingtong's attack, which was originally directed at Su Yu, and turn it towards himself more than once.

But even so, Su Yu, who had lost her secret advantage, found it very difficult to fight against Jian Zirui.

The current situation has changed into that Chi Qian has the upper hand in the confrontation between Qi Xueyi, and Jian Zirui has the upper hand in the confrontation between Jian Zirui and Su Yu.

Lu Shaoyuan could only deflect the attack but had no way of influencing He Jingtong's mentality, nor could he make He Jingtong attack him with all his strength.

A one-on-one situation did not exist from the very beginning.

On the contrary, what deserves Lu Shaoyuan's most attention at the moment is He Jingtong's action goal.

Will he help Qi Xueyi to drive out Chi Qian, or will he help Jian Zirui to quickly get Su Yu out?

The thoughts in my mind are like cotton threads, forming into balls one after another.

How can we break the current situation and turn disadvantage into advantage?

Lu Shaoyuan was thinking.

Even if he joined forces with Su Yu, he couldn't quickly send He Jingtong or Jian Zirui away. Moreover, if either of them was attacked, the other would not stand still.

The advantage does not lie in oneself——

The only person he could rely on was Chi Qian, who didn't know much about the situation here.

Lu Shaoyuan needs that kind of decisive force that can tear apart the current situation.

This point actually appeared at the very beginning.

Because what he had said to Chi Qian before was: "Leave as soon as you touch me."

Even though Chi Qian was facing Qi Xueyi.

After being warned by teammates, even a Berserker would not really go crazy on a support.

Qi Xueyi had already tightly surrounded his body with his green power, ensuring that even if Chi Qian hit him head-on, he would not be seriously injured.

At the same time, the green force field, which has a clear corrosive effect on other people's force fields, continues to spread outward, trying to influence Chi Qian——

But the next second, the man ran away...

Run away!

Qi Xueyi: ???

What are you doing?! Do you look down on 1v1 with support?!

Qi Xueyi's mind was full of questions. On the other side, Chi Qian quickly rushed to his teammates and decisively blocked Jian Zirui's attack on Su Yu.

His arrival quickly reversed the situation where his teammates were suppressed.

Just as they had been chosen at the beginning, Chi Qian and the others immediately targeted He Jingtong once the situation turned around.

The strange power restricted He Jingtong's attack on Chi Qian. The locking attack of the instrument knife was inexplicably transferred to Lu Shaoyuan as if it was pushed by an invisible hand.

Lu Shaoyuan blocked the attack.

He Jingtong saw out of the corner of his eye that with the help of Chi Qian, Su Yu quickly broke free from Jian Zirui's lock and hid again.

Before she completely hid herself, that look, like the sea during a storm, made He Jing and the first-time goalkeeper alert to the highest level.

Jian Zirui wanted to send Su Yu away first because the assassin was really difficult to deal with.

After hiding, their perception was not enough for them to find Su Yu's location.

This is equivalent to not being able to use your full strength when fighting an opponent because you need to be wary of the opponent in the dark.

But the opponent can give full play to his/her strength without any worries, and can even expect the help from teammates hiding in the dark at any time.

I didn't win the psychological warfare, but I didn't lose either.

Lu Shaoyuan and Su Yu did not expect that their opponents shared the same fishing rod. Jian Zirui and He Jingtong also did not guess that Chi Qian's formal attack on Qi Xueyi was really just a pure test.

After a few rounds of fighting, Chi Qian showed off his Berserker attributes that were clearly superior to his teammates in all aspects. He disappeared in a flash of smoke, taking the slower Lu Shaoyuan with him.

He Jingtong and Jian Zirui did not chase after her because they were not sure whether Su Yu, who had hidden in the dark again, would change her route and kill Qi Xueyi who had not yet met up with them.

Finally, the three of them reunited.

After reviewing the situation and psychological warfare, the three of them felt that from the perspective of team performance, this battle was neither won nor lost, but in essence, the result of the actual fight could be considered a win or a loss.

"Otherwise, you, a lowly horse, should go fight Lu Shaoyuan."

Qi Xueyi called Jian Zirui this nonsense, and he looked confused.

Jian Zirui did not explain, but only said: "If the three of us go together, then we can only look forward to a head-on battle in the tenth hour before the end of the eleven hours."

He Jingtong also explained: "But the frontal combat will not be too bad. There is a very good saying that in the face of absolute power, all conspiracies are nothing..."

The plain will become the site of a conspiracy-style battle, which in itself means that Lao Cui himself understands that if he really wants to defeat those who are hiding in the dark, he still has to rely on decisive power.

The reason why we chose to make the opening test full of conspiracy is to warn students that future battles will no longer be just about defeating the aliens, but will require them to be on guard against more.

Be wary of teammates who might be traitors, and also be wary of friends who are smiling and talking one second, and then threatening you with a knife the next.

Otherwise, any student in the psychic department could become the next Jiang Nan.

"But the situation cannot be entirely like this," said He Jingtong.

He did not use the multi-view function during the opening quiz.

At the moment, He Jingtong was not aware of Cui Tong's previous conversation with Qu Shu.

He just instinctively felt that something was wrong.

"It is true that being defensive is a form of self-protection, but being too defensive will only cause all students to fall into unnecessary fear and panic." Putting aside whether Mr. Cui, who is a teacher, would do this, the value that students who graduate from the paranormal department will have in the future is such that it is impossible for the upper class to ignore their spiritual education.

People with power become villains and use their power to implement their ideas, while people without power can only imagine themselves as villains in their minds...

One is a real crime, while the other is a joke and is not even worthy of being compared.

As spiritual education is bound to receive attention, He Jingtong sincerely feels that this opening test will not be as simple as it appears.

But what He Jingtong realized at the beginning was not simple. He simply felt that something unexpected but reasonable would happen.

But I never thought that what actually happened was something beyond reason but expected.

The former symbolizes Cui Tong's heart of teaching and educating people. Even if something unexpected happens, the essence is only to temper the students' character and enable them to grow better.

The latter, however, means that Fu Zexun has really made a comeback again.

When a crack suddenly appeared on the top of the diving space gate with a diameter of about 800 meters, the two teams staying in a corner of the space gate were stunned.

He Jingtong did not open multiple perspectives to prevent himself from cheating unknowingly. Suddenly, he thought that the strange spirits falling from the sky were put in by Qu Shu and Cui Tong, their teachers.

Without Qu Shu's permission, the sneak space door itself is a box that cannot be opened.

Without Cui Tong's permission, it is impossible to allow additional alien spirits to be placed into the space gate used for the competition.

The strange spirits that can be let in simply symbolize the danger of "sudden events".

"What do you mean?" Qi Xueyi closed his eyes and looked up at the sky, then turned to look at his teammates.

"We can only see six spirits coming down. If nothing goes wrong, we should each be able to deal with one." Jian Zirui said so, but added, "But are there more hidden under the six in the open... We can't make a quick judgment based on our observation ability alone."

When they saw many strange spirits appear, Qi Xueyi and Jian Zirui both looked unhappy.

This made them involuntarily think of the time when Cui Tong was besieged and He Jingtong was left on the non-existent floor.

The change in their mentality made both of them no longer want to continue fighting against Chi Qian and the others, and they were only thinking about how to deal with those strange spirits.

Compared to this side who quickly understood the situation, Chi Qian and others on the other side were all confused.

While my mind was spinning like crazy, thinking about how to deal with my opponent, an extra opponent suddenly appeared on the field...

Does this mean they are to unite?

Before this thought could be answered, the spirit that descended from the sky immediately aimed its attack at Lu Shaoyuan——

"Don't use your powerful ability of sarcasm at a time like this!" Chi Qian was completely devastated.

There is no doubt that six strange spirits passed over the powerful Chi Qian, ignored Su Yu who was hiding in the dark, and paid no attention to the trio on the other side who wanted to crush them to death. They only faced Lu Shaoyuan, who had an amazing ability of sarcasm, without hesitation.

Outside the stealth space door, Cui Tong and Qu Shu were stunned when they saw this scene.

"I didn't expect this kind of situation." Qu Shu said with a complicated expression.

Those strange spirits rushed towards Lu Shaoyuan without any hesitation, like moths.

Cui Tong's expression became even more complicated.

At this time, on the screen of the stealth space gate, it can be observed that many space gates where confrontation matches are taking place have been filled with alien spirits.

There were also cases where two or three alien spirits attacked one student as opponents chosen by the spirits. But to some extent, other students could also feel the care of the spirits. It was not like the space gate where He Jingtong was, where six alien spirits all aimed at Lu Shaoyuan...

"Let's get ready to go in for rescue." Qu Shu sighed.

The space gate with a diameter of 800 meters is very small and very large. Even if the teams at the two edges of the space gate run in both directions, it will take at least one minute for them to unite.

Within a minute, Lu Shaoyuan, who was madly targeted by six alien spirits, almost felt like he was about to break apart.

What kind of scenes has he not seen?

He had never seen such a scene before.

Ghosts are the mutation of human souls. Even if they appear, they usually appear in individual form. If a classmate encounters a group of ghosts once in three years of high school, it can be considered a burst of luck.

People like Lu Shaoyuan who not only encountered them but were also directly besieged...

Maybe we can only say that it is extremely powerful.

Chi Qian's resistance was also extremely broken.

He describes himself as a berserker because he is really an explosive player with low stamina but high attributes in all aspects.

This form of power can completely allow Chi Qian to use his explosive power to kill a complete A-level alien spirit that is stronger than him in seconds before he runs out of strength. However, this does not mean that he can withstand two B-level alien spirits that are close to A-level...

If I explode and kill one of them, I will just become a fish on the chopping board with no power to resist. But if I don't explode and just fight and pull...

It was also extremely reluctant for Chi Qian.

This meant that he needed to completely change his previous fighting habits, control the explosiveness of his own strength, and forcibly extend his endurance.

But even so, Chi Qian barely managed to hold back two alien spirits.

Su Yu is more difficult as an assassin.

The current situation did not give her any chance to assassinate, so she could only stand in the open and relieve the pressure on her other two teammates, and she managed to hold off one of the spirits.

But the situation is still terrible.

Lu Shaoyuan faced three alien spirits alone, and had to face long-range attacks from time to time, which were blocked by Chi Qian and Su Yu but would still attack Lu Shaoyuan's direction...

Every second feels like a whole year.

From the time the spirit was discovered to the time they were besieged, only half a minute had passed.

But within half a minute, Lu Shaoyuan's school uniform had been largely shattered, with many scars appearing. The deepest wound was on the back of his hand, and the white bones covered with pink flesh were already visible to the naked eye.

In the outside world, Cui Tong was ready to go in to provide support immediately, and Qu Shu was also ready. If Cui Tong failed to provide support, all the students would be sent out, and only the aliens would be locked in the stealth space door.

It's a two-way grasp.

Inside the space gate, He Jing and others also quickly rushed towards the direction where the alien spirit fell.

Only a spiritualist can kill alien spirits. Falling from a high altitude to the ground will not cause any harm to them. Instead, they will cause an airborne attack on the people below.

Since no one came to look for He Jingtong and the others, they must have all gone to the other side.

Lu Shaoyuan's situation had just been mentioned not long ago, and He Jingtong had also experienced it in practice. With a change of mind, he quickly ran to the other end of the sneak space door.

The teammates beside him were also in action, their brains were working very quickly. When they thought about the situation where the other three were facing six ghosts, their movements became faster and faster.

But even so, it took them nearly two minutes to arrive.

At that time, Lu Shaoyuan had already fallen into a coma with no clear outcome. Chi Qian and Su Yu surrounded Lu Shaoyuan at the middle door with great difficulty, constantly resisting the spirits that wanted to break through their defenses.

Lu Shaoyuan's condition is really serious.

Before this, all the alien spirits that besieged him attacked frantically as if they were risking their lives.

If I had to express it in some way, it would probably be equivalent to the attitude of the alien spirit in the hospital attacking He Wanchen.

The attitude of these strange spirits towards Lu Shaoyuan is the same as that towards the people who turned them into strange spirits.

It's like he's obsessed with it, as if he has to be killed.

Although they could clearly see their previous opponents, those crazy spirits did not even give He Jing and the other two time to run 30 meters...

One of the alien hands grabbed Su Yu's wrist that was holding the dagger, bent it violently, and pushed her aside.

The pain made Su Yu's eyes ooze out tears of reason, but her screams were suppressed in her throat, and only a muffled sound came out. She fought instinctively, and her other intact hand quickly took the dagger from the broken hand, and then, Su Yu turned around and stabbed the dagger in the neck of the alien beside her.

This attack hurt the alien spirit. The hatred of the enemy being right in front of it also made the alien spirit feel extremely resentful towards the behavior of the obstructor. The attack originally aimed at Lu Shaoyuan also deviated from its direction.

The next second, blood spurted out of Su Yu's mouth. There was an obvious dent on her chest from the attack by the alien spirit, and she was knocked back more than three meters, which made it impossible for her to protect Lu Shaoyuan who had no power to resist.

Chi Qian, who was guarding on the other side of Su Yu's back, was distracted by the sound that symbolized pain. He was careless in his defensive action, causing the strength that was originally evenly divided for resistance to be temporarily lost.

One of the spirits broke through his defenses and aimed its attack at the unconscious Lu Shaoyuan at the middle door again...

Chi Qian's emotions were constantly suppressed, and his eyes were red and bloodshot.

He simply unleashed all the strength in his body, and along with roars, blue power filled the area around the three people. Perhaps it was because the power was too impactful, or perhaps it was because Chi Qian himself possessed a powerful repelling force, the six alien spirits were forced back two or three meters in an instant.

When they tried to rush up again, He Jingtong and others finally arrived.

Chi Qian's eyes were blurred after all his strength exploded. He did not see He Jingtong who had already arrived, and his eyes were only filled with those spirits who were still flying like moths to a flame.

Chi Qian's eyes were filled with regret, but he knew that he was completely powerless to resist.

After all, I didn't protect my teammates well. I had thought that I would never let my teammates go through something like Jiang Nan...

With regret, Chi Qian fell beside Lu Shaoyuan who had already been unconscious.

Su Yu forced herself to ignore the pain of her broken sternum and looked at her teammates. Whether it was physical tears or an outburst of emotions, the tears left traces on her face and fell on the green grass ground that had already been trampled into mud.

outside.

When Cui Tong discovered that Lu Shaoyuan had obvious injuries on his body, he had already entered the space gate. But for some reason, after entering the space gate, he was restricted by an unknown force, which made him unable to get close to his students no matter what.

Furthermore, those students seemed not to see him as they continued to fight fiercely with the alien spirits below.

Cui Tong suddenly became extremely anxious, and Qu Shu, who was outside the space gate, also noticed this. She wanted to send the students and Cui Tong out as soon as possible.

But just like Cui Tong didn't understand why he couldn't get close to the students, Qu Shu really couldn't understand why the stealth space door he created would not listen to his orders and still confine the students within the space door.

Qu Shu kept making gestures to release the space door, connecting his left thumb with the tip of his little finger again and again, but he was never able to release it successfully.

Afterwards, Qu Shu began to experiment to see if other space doors could be opened, but unexpectedly discovered that except for the space door where He Jingtong was, all other space doors could be opened.

A bunch of students looked confused. They didn't know why they were suddenly pulled back to the practice room while they were fighting.

The attacks that were still in progress stopped after they realized that the environment had changed.

When they looked towards the middle door, they found that Qu Shu's face was covered with sweat. Looking closely, the screen in front of her, which was about the size of a computer screen, showed Cui Tong being blocked outside by a barrier like a barrier.

Inside the barrier, there was a scene where Chi Qian and Su Yu swore to protect Lu Shaoyuan to the death.

Outside the barrier, Cui Tong tried all kinds of attack methods, but even after his hands and legs suffered obvious injuries of flesh disintegration, he still could not get any feedback to break through the barrier.

But again, he didn't stop attacking.

What to do?

Sweat dripped down Qu Shu's face and fell to the ground.

Inside the space gate, He Jingtong pushed the white power to the extreme.

Lightning flashed at the tip of his feet from time to time, and the alien spirit that was about to hit the unconscious one suddenly stopped moving forward.

Somehow the outside world saw through He Jingtong's perspective.

In the sight, the white power twisted and turned, like lightning spreading and branching in the clouds, it exploded instantly and hit the alien spirit.

Jian Zirui, who cooperated well with the other party, threw out the peach wood sword. The wooden blade wrapped in red was like a flying sword burning with flames, and it pierced through the heart of the alien spirit fiercely.

When the peach wood sword fell from the sky, He Jingtong had also arrived.

The talisman array in the form of the Eight Diagrams rose again. However, this time, the Qian and Kan positions were swapped, and the color of the talisman array floating outside was no longer the golden red as before, but instead showed pure golden yellow.

Zhen Fa Ling descended from the air and appeared beside the two unconscious people at a distance of more than ten meters.

This move was quite difficult for Jian Zirui. She groaned as the power of her soul and the power of Taoism in her body clashed with each other. She accidentally injured her internal organs and redness seeped from the corners of her mouth.

The living spirits in the distance ignored everything and attacked the talisman formation frantically.

The bang-bang sounds caused the floating talismans to show visible signs of burning flames.

Everyone knew that this thing would not last long. But in order to prevent her classmates from dying on the spot, Jian Zirui could only activate the talisman array from a distance.

However, when she looked up, she saw He Jingtong, who was holding a peach wood sword in one hand and a ritual knife in the other, had already quickly begun to attack those strange spirits.

Qi Xueyi arrived later and immediately dragged Su Yu, who was standing outside the formation and unable to move, into the formation.

The green power enveloped the three people and healed them at the same time.

He Jingtong, however, simply used the sword as a knife and the knife as a gun, quickly changing his habit of using weapons.

The instrumental knife pierced the nearest spirit. He Jingtong held the peach wood sword in his left hand and quickly attacked, chopping the spirit's neck from the side.

After all, a peach wood sword is no match for a sharpened ceremonial sword. Without the blessing of Taoist magic, He Jingtong's peach wood sword, which was struck by lightning for a thousand years, was just a slightly harder wooden stick.

He apologized silently in his heart, saying that he was afraid of destroying the weapon that had been with Jian Zirui for many years, but in reality, He Jingtong seemed to have no hesitation and poured the white power into the wooden sword.

The crackling sound of thunder and lightning could be heard outside, and the attack that had not actually been carried out finally and accurately cut into the body of the alien.

If you want to kill the aliens, the key point is always the "core".

He Jingtong couldn't let go of Ming Jiuguan. Throwing down the weapon was tantamount to giving up his life, so he bit the blade of the ceremonial knife in his mouth.

As blood flowed down the corner of his mouth, He Jingtong forcefully retracted the peach wood sword and once again roughly reached his hand into the wound of the alien, heading straight for the core.

The feeling of the skin and flesh tissue on my hand disappearing came over me again, but this time, it was my right hand that was injured.

After quickly killing the first alien spirit, the golden talisman array's out-of-position talisman silently turned into ashes and fell to the ground.

Jian Zirui simply gave up the entire formation and let the talismans burn in the air. She quickly ran to He Jingtong's side, but before she got close, she raised her hand to catch the peach wood sword that was thrown at her.

Before she could be surprised, Jian Zirui wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and took the initiative to restrain the two evil spirits.

As soon as the two violent men engaged in battle, not only did two of the six strange spirits that were about to drive Chi Qian and the other two crazy die quickly, but the remaining four were also taken over by the two men one by one.

But He Jingtong found something was wrong as they were playing.

These ghosts look too much like the seven ghosts in the non-existent floor.

Although he knew instinctively that the strange spirits released with Cui Tong's consent could not have been artificially created, and they would only appear spontaneously due to various reasons, his instinct, or intuition, was warning He Jingtong that Fu Zexun was definitely involved in this matter.

Although they had only met twice, they had talked to each other from a distance many times.

For spiritualists, intuition is much more trustworthy than the sixth sense of ordinary people.

He Jingtong's intuition told him that there was a seventh spirit here.

But on the surface, He Jingtong could only fight against the two alien spirits with all his strength.

The two spirits that had been killed earlier allowed He Jingtong to judge their strength, and he immediately explained to Jian Zirui: "They are at the peak of B-level, close to A-level strength.

They are pretty much the same as these students.

But what if there really is a seventh spirit in secret, and that spirit happens to be related to Fu Zexun...

He Jingtong couldn't help but think of a possibility...

A possibility that made his face fall.

But before that, the focus is still on killing the four alien spirits.

Fortunately, we all have experience, and the opponent is not the kind that we can never defeat.

Qi Xueyi, who was providing treatment, slowed down the treatment after ensuring that Chi Qian and Lu Shaoyuan were not in danger of life. He put most of his energy on Su Yu, and soon restored her combat strength.

Su Yu's joining after her recovery greatly relieved the pressure on He Jingtong and Jian Zirui.

At this time, the assassin's words finally appeared in front of those who were still awake.

The next move, Su Yu's breath completely disappeared.

Neither He Jingtong nor Jian Zirui noticed this until they heard the sound of the dagger piercing the alien's body.

After the core inside was shattered, the alien spirit was turned into powder before the naked eye.

He Jingtong was stunned for a moment.

When another alien spirit tried to pass through him and attacked Lu Shaoyuan, He Jingtong raised his hand and swung his sword to block it.

The same thing happened to Jian Zirui. While they were fighting, they suddenly discovered that an alien spirit had died.

When they were attacking the other one with all their strength, Jian Zirui saw Su Yu's figure, and the two of them quickly worked together to kill the other one.

Next to him, He Jingtong also dealt with the last alien spirit.

But he did not relax his vigilance, nor did he put Ming Jiuguan back into the sheath.

He Jingtong now realized that no matter how much Cui Tong wanted his students to be more careful, he would not allow Lu Shaoyuan to be besieged by six strange spirits.

Qu Shu did not teleport the person out, fearing that something unexpected had happened.

This is the accident...

As his thoughts turned, his eyes flashed, and inside the stealth space door, the sun shone on the green grass plain. He Jingtong saw the scene of Qi Xueyi's chest being pierced by the dagger in Su Yu's hand.
