"Thirty-two …" Lu Qingshan ignored Yindu. Instead, he looked around and counted the number of people.
It was indeed a big move.
With Lu Qingshan's current combat strength, he would almost certainly win if he faced an ordinary Void Refinement cultivator alone. It was the same with two.
However, once the number of people exceeded three, the situation would become difficult. Still, it was not a problem for him to escape.
Thirty-two Void Refinement cultivators?
No Nascent Soul cultivator could escape unscathed in such a situation. Even the strongest Fourth Realm cultivator could not do so, let alone the number one on the Yellow Rankings.
In the Cultivation World, the human wave tactic was useless when the difference in strength was too great. It was just like how even if there were a thousand ants, they would never be able to bite a person to death.
However, if the difference in strength was not too great, the human wave tactic could be used to achieve the effect of one plus one greater than two.
If the lion, "Africa's number one," fought the hyenas one-on-one, it would not be a problem for him to win a hundred battles. However, if the hyenas chose to swarm him, once there were more than six of them, they would have a chance to kill the lion.
Not to mention that there were now thirty-two "hyenas".
However, in the face of such a situation, Lu Qingshan's expression did not change. He even nodded in satisfaction.
He grinned at Yindu, revealing his snow-white teeth.
When he, who was disguised as a middle-aged cultivator, smiled, there was even a hint of kindness and gentleness. However, this smile immediately sent chills down Yindu's spine.
A bad premonition welled up in his heart because Lu Qingshan was really too calm.
Reality proved that things like premonitions, unless one was extremely lucky, usually followed the principle of "good things don't come true, but bad things do."
At this moment, dozens of light spots suddenly appeared in the sky and rushed over.
The unrelated cultivators in the town had not even recovered from the sudden attack of the thirty-odd Void Refinement cultivators, but Yindu already felt a great danger.
It was sword gleams. Countless sword gleams were like tiny flying swords that formed a surging torrent of steel. The sword rain poured down and accurately covered the thirty-two cultivators of Hades Hades.
Caught off guard, the cultivators of Hades Hades hurriedly tried to organize an effective defense. However, the tiny sword gleams contained an unstoppable force that mercilessly shattered their defense.
Ding ding ding!
After the sword light broke through their defenses, it pierced through their limbs and flipped their bodies over. Then, it condensed and did not dissipate. Like a nail, it nailed everyone firmly to the ground.
The menacing cultivators of Hades appeared weak and feeble in front of these sword rays. They were not on the same level at all.
They thought that they had the advantage in numbers, but they were crushed by the sword rays that filled the sky.
The battle had ended before it even began.
In the Yin Capital, the leader of the cultivators who encircled Lu Qingshan was nailed to the ground, and blood flowed out of his body.
This sword ray that penetrated his body completely sealed the flow of his spiritual energy, making it impossible for him to die. He couldn't even open his mouth to speak.
He could only stare at Lu Qingshan with his blood-red eyes, his gaze filled with anger, unwillingness, and doubt.
"Those willing to take the bait?" Lu Qingshan took two steps forward and walked to the side of the Yin Capital. At the same time, he removed the disguise of the Nightwalker Ancient Jade and returned to his original appearance.
The handsome young man seriously corrected the mistake of the cultivator of Hades. "No, this is called … piranha."
A streak of light appeared and finally landed beside Lu Qingshan.
It was an old man with white hair and a beard. However, the fierce intent on his body was enough to strike fear in everyone.
"I've troubled you, Master's Apprentice Uncle," Lu Qingshan said courteously.
"As you expected, someone set you up to kill you." Xi Xiang, who had just appeared, seemed to be deep in thought. "This is an impressive move."
The Yin Capital, who was nailed to the ground, heard the conversation between the two. His pupils suddenly widened, and he stared at Lu Qingshan.
It was not because the news was exposed, nor was it a coincidence. Instead … Lu Qingshan had guessed his plan?
But, why? How did he guess? Where did he slip up?
"You want to know how I guessed that this Golden Jade Well was a trap set up to kill me?" Lu Qingshan understood the meaning behind Yin Capital's gaze.
Yin Capital's eyes flashed. He waited for Lu Qingshan to reveal the answer.
He wanted to know the reason behind his death.
"Unfortunately …" After a pause, Lu Qingshan shook his head regretfully. "I'm not going to tell you."
Yin Capital let out a helpless roar.
.....
The trap that Hades thought he had set up was perfect. However, in Lu Qingshan's eyes, it was full of loopholes.
He wanted to improve the True Meaning of Karma. The Golden Jade Well, which was rarely seen, appeared at this juncture. It even happened to nurture the mystery of Karma.
Was he the Son of Fate, or the main character of a novel? Why would someone give him a pillow just when he was about to doze off? Was there such a convenient thing in the world?
It was still the same old saying. One coincidence could be a coincidence, but if it happened more than twice, it was highly likely that it was a carefully arranged "coincidence". It was a trap set up by someone.
As for who was it that was targeting him?
Lu Qingshan had just received an important piece of news in the Wildlands.
He was ranked first on Hades's kill list.
Hades would definitely have various schemes against a cultivator of this rank. Hence, he had always been on guard.
When one was on guard, it was often easier to discover some loopholes.
When he connected this piece of news, Lu Qingshan had a rough idea of the scheme behind this.
As for the so-called incident where someone actually obtained the ginseng roots of the Golden Jade Well and sold it for a high price, that was even more laughable.
Was this not the simple scheme of those unscrupulous merchants in his previous life?
Lu Qingshan had long since gotten used to this. This method might be able to fool those who dreamed of getting rich, but it was naturally impossible to fool him.
It was also because he knew that Hades had a strong desire to kill him that Lu Qingshan did not dare to be arrogant and rely on luck. He directly reported this matter to Hope Elephant.
The popularity of the dojo's grand competition had yet to die down. Hope Elephant had the best impression of this genius disciple of his and treasured him a lot.
Hence, when he heard that Hades had a high possibility of being killed by Lu Qingshan, Hope Elephant could not hold back. He personally went to set up a trap for Lu Qingshan.
What if all these guesses were to come to nothing?
He definitely could not let Xi Xiang, a seventh-tier sword cultivator, make a wasted trip. Hence, Lu Qingshan made up his mind. If the incident with Jinjing Yulan was not a trap, he would ask his Uncle-Master to help him search the Changbai Mountains …
Wouldn't it be a sure thing to let a Level Seven cultivator personally search for the Golden Jade Well hidden in the Changbai Mountains?
.....
The battle was already over. Hope Elephant's mind moved and the sword gleams on the thirty-two Void Refinement cultivators of Hades swayed, stringing their bodies together.
"Return to the sect," Hope Elephant said coldly.
The Hades cultivators usually hid in the dark and did not make a move. It was not easy to capture so many of them this time. They would definitely not be killed so easily. Instead, they would be brought back to the sect for interrogation.
In fact, this was also one of the reasons why Hope Elephant personally went.
A Level Six cultivator could definitely kill all of these Hades cultivators, but it was impossible to capture them alive.
After all, compared to the various torture and interrogation that they would face after being captured alive, the Hades cultivators would rather choose to commit suicide.
Lu Qingshan nodded and followed Hope Elephant on his sword. Their figures quickly disappeared from the small town.
.....
Everything happened too quickly. Most of the other cultivators in the small town did not understand what was going on. They were all dumbfounded.
Only Ma Yun, who was at the center of the battle, watched everything from the sidelines.
Seeing that Lu Qingshan and Hope Elephant had left, he came back to his senses from his daze.
Naturally, Shopkeeper Ma, who had heard everyone's conversation clearly, understood the situation.
It was too exciting!
Dozens of Void Refinement cultivators were sent to kill Lu Qingshan, who was ranked first on the Yellow Rankings. Then, they were instantly killed by Lu Qingshan's sect seniors!
This was the Sword Sect!
He was happy and envious as he watched.
Who would not be envious to have the protection of such a powerful sect?
Unfortunately, his sect was not like that.
Ma Yun could not help but feel a sense of loneliness in his heart. He lamented that the world was not worth it.
'Wait, when did I have a sect?
Oh, I'm a rogue cultivator … '
'Then it's fine.'
Ma Yun, who suddenly realized his own situation, felt relieved.
