"We're almost there." Xu Hao let out a long sigh, looking a little tired. This was the tiredness brought about by continuous battles.
The decision to let Lu Qingshan take charge of the team's command was undoubtedly the right one.
Along the way, even though they had tried to avoid battles as much as possible, some battles could not be avoided in a situation where demonic beasts were everywhere.
Fortunately, they had Lu Qingshan, who knew the demonic beasts' tactics like the back of his hand.
Under Lu Qingshan's guidance, they dealt with these demonic beasts with ease and ease.
But what surprised Xu Hao was that he felt that the power of Lu Qingshan's flying sword seemed to be increasing along the way.
Shaking his head, Xu Hao denied his own thoughts.
How could there be such a ridiculous thing in the world? It must be his own misconception.
"There's still the last part of the journey. Everyone, don't relax." Lu Qingshan reminded the Tiger Team practitioners who seemed to be relieved. "Our mission has only just begun. Adjust yourselves and don't be stingy with pills."
As he spoke, Lu Qingshan took out a Qi Recovery Pill that had the effect of recovering spiritual energy and swallowed it.
Along the way, he had fought nearly ten battles of various sizes. Even with the doubling of his spiritual energy recovery speed from the Ruins of End Sutra, he still had to constantly take pills to recover spiritual energy to maintain his condition.
Although it was difficult, it was not without gains. Lu Qingshan looked at his Flying Sword Technique, which had been upgraded to lvl 10 on the skill panel, and sighed in his heart.
Putting aside the losses, Zhenjiang City was really an excellent place to gain experience that was hard to come by in a hundred years.
With such a high skill level, his attainments in the Flying Sword Art had reached the point of perfection.
The power of his Flying Sword Technique when he used only thirty percent of his strength was already comparable to the full power of his Flying Sword Technique when it was still lvl 3.
"That is?!"
Suddenly, Su Shu's eyes widened as she pointed at the distant sky and cried out in surprise.
The others' gazes followed the direction of Su Shu's finger.
It was an enormous vortex that appeared in the river of blood energy in the distant horizon.
At the edge of the whirlpool was a huge belt of blood Qi that was emitting a faint red light. It looked like a funnel, and other blood Qi was madly pouring into the mouth of this terrifyingly huge funnel.
The huge funnel was spinning at a dizzying speed.
That was not all. The indestructible sky above the funnel rippled and turned into a black jade-colored wall of water.
A huge black hole appeared on the wall of water, and a breach appeared in the barrier, through which the blood energy in the funnel gushed out.
However, this only lasted for an instant. In the next moment, the black hole quietly closed up, and the barrier returned to its original state. The huge vortex also disappeared in an instant.
As for the Blood Qi that leaked out, although the loss to the river of Blood Qi was great, it was still acceptable.
That direction was where Dantai Qingrun had gone.
Lu Qingshan calmed down and said softly, "It should be Tower Lord Dantai who succeeded in killing Black Wuchang and destroying the formation point controlled by Black Wuchang. This caused considerable damage to Shura's Blood Transformation Formation.
However, this is still not enough. Such a large formation cannot be broken by destroying a single formation point. Only by destroying a large number of formation points can this Shura's Blood Transformation Formation be destroyed.
We have to hurry. Even a powerful cultivator like Black Wuchang was killed by Tower Lord Dantai. We still haven't found a single cultivator from the Hades! "
"You're right. Let's speed up!" Xu Hao said in a low voice.
.....
"Looks like we've found the right target," Xu Hao said as he looked at the undamaged courtyard in front of him.
Zhong Ming nodded. "The surrounding houses have all been reduced to rubble. It's obvious that they've been ravaged by demonic beasts.
However, the houses that are so close to them are all safe and sound. There are no traces of battle.
This kind of illogical thing only makes sense if there's a cultivator from the Hades hidden here.
And this Siemens's training ground just so happens to be here. How can there be such a coincidence! "
Siemens was one of the three cultivators they were investigating. On the surface, he was a loose cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment.
When they used Black Wuchang's disguise as Wu Lei Zi to investigate, they discovered that although this Siemens and Wu Lei Zi did not seem to have any interactions on the surface, there was a very strange point.
The two of them had always purchased pills from the same Elixir Pavilion, and it had been so for more than ten years.
That was not all. Five years ago, Wu Lei Zi had purchased pills from another Elixir Pavilion. Coincidentally, in the same year, Siemens had also given up on the Elixir Pavilion that he frequented and switched to the one that Wu Lei Zi went to.
Of course, this kind of connection was not very big. If they suspected this Siemens just because of this, it would be too far-fetched.
But unfortunately, Siemens's name was also on the first jade slip that the staff had given them based on the confession of the evil cultivator they had captured.
With the two added together, the possibility that this Siemens was a cultivator from the Hades was extremely high.
Not caring about alerting the enemy, Su Shu released her spiritual sense and swept through the courtyard where Siemens lived.
"There's no one, and there's nothing unusual!" Su Shu said in a low voice.
"As a formation point of Shura's Blood Transformation Formation, it would be hard to avoid being discovered after so many years if there weren't any concealment methods."
Xu Hao was not surprised. "Let's plough through this courtyard and see if there's a ghost or not. Xiao Zhi, let Xiao Lv do a thorough check!"
"Understood!" Xiao Zhi replied. He took out a Qi Consuming Pill and fed it to the Green-eyed Weasel. He stroked the Green-eyed Weasel's docile fur on its small head. "Thank you for your hard work today."
The Green-eyed Weasel was not a powerful demonic beast. Its Earth Escape Technique relied entirely on its innate ability, and it consumed a lot of energy to use it.
The Tiger Team had relied on the Green-eyed Weasel to use the Earth Escape Technique to scout ahead. For it, this was already close to its limit.
Letting the Green-eyed Weasel use the Earth Escape Technique again would actually cause considerable damage to its foundation.
Usually, Xiao Zhi was very protective of his pet beast. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he treated it like a cultivation partner.
But in this situation, Xiao Zhi couldn't be bothered to feel sorry for his pet beast.
The Green-eyed Weasel finished eating the Qi Consuming Pill in a few bites. It squeaked and merged into the ground in the next moment.
But after a while.
Dong dong dong!
An extremely strange sound suddenly rang in everyone's ears.
Bang!
Immediately after, a small mound suddenly swelled up from the ground in the courtyard. A small brown object shot out from it.
Xiao Zhi's figure flashed and he hurried forward to catch this small object. He looked flustered. "Xiao Lv!"
This small object that shot out was the Green-eyed Weasel. However, its fur was charred black and its aura was weak. It was clearly injured.
The Green-eyed Weasel lay in Xiao Zhi's hand. Its emerald eyes looked at Xiao Zhi and it squeaked weakly.
Xiao Zhi's expression changed. He immediately activated his defensive magic artifact. A flashing red light shield instantly enveloped his entire body.
Almost at the same time, a strangely shaped golden wheel with a thick black glow slammed into Xiao Zhi's protective light shield.
Crack!
The light shield made a sound like porcelain breaking.
Under the huge impact, Xiao Zhi's figure retreated a few steps and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
After stabilizing his body, Xiao Zhi ignored his injuries and immediately took out a healing pill and quickly fed it to the Green-eyed Weasel. Then, he put it back into the spirit beast pouch. Only then did he come back to his senses. He stared at the green-robed cultivator who had just used the golden wheel to sneak an attack on him.
