"The Flying Cloud Sect's only Middle-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator is here," Xiao Zhi pointed at the westernmost point on the map drawn by the green-eyed weasel.
"The other three points are where the other three Foundation Establishment cultivators are."
Xu Hao rubbed the stubble on his chin with his index finger. After thinking for a while, he said, "The mission this time is very simple. The only troublesome thing is that there are four targets, and they're located at four points with some distance between them.
Once we make a move, the other three Foundation Establishment cultivators will notice the commotion. If they choose to escape, it'll be quite troublesome for us to chase after them.
"However, it's not difficult to solve this problem. Our combat strength is enough to crush these four Foundation Establishment cultivators.
"How about this, we'll split into four groups, and all four groups will make a move at the same time. This way, there'll be no mistakes.
"Leave the Middle-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator to me. Su Shu and Lu Qingshan will be in charge of the Early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator in the north. Zhong Ming will be in charge of the target in the south. Li People, you and Xiao Zhi will be in charge of the target in the east."
"No problem."
"Roger that."
"Alright."
No one had any objections to Xu Hao's judgment and decision, and they all agreed.
With the Tiger Team's strength, they could crush the four Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Flying Cloud Sect with their eyes closed.
.....
The Flying Cloud Sect's entire sect had two layers of formations.
The first layer of formation was a comprehensive formation that combined sensing and warning functions. It was used to guard against cultivators with ill intentions.
The second layer of formation was the highlight. It had the effect of defending the sect gate. If it was activated, it would not be taken down in a short period of time without spending a lot of effort.
Although the second layer of formation was powerful, it required a lot of Spirit Stones to activate it.
The Flying Cloud Sect was only a small sect. One Spirit Stone had to be split into two pieces. It was not as big as the big sects.
Hence, under most circumstances, the Flying Cloud Sect would only activate the first layer of formation. The second layer of formation would be idle all year round.
Only when the first layer of formation gave off a warning would the second layer of formation be activated to defend against the enemy.
Xiao Zhi's Green-eyed Weasel wandered around the Flying Cloud Sect, but it was not discovered by the formation at all.
It could be seen that, in fact, the first layer of the array formation's perceptual warning ability was not very strong.
The higher-ups of the Flying Cloud Sect naturally knew this fact, but some things couldn't be changed just because they knew it.
— — The Flying Cloud Sect only had this much property, so how could it afford to squander the resources of the second layer of the formation all year round? Thus, this was the only way.
.....
The Tiger Team found a secluded place outside the Flying Cloud Sect.
Su Shu gently formed a seal with her fingers and silently channeled her magic power. A little spiritual light condensed in the center of her palm.
Then, Su Shu pointed the spiritual light forward.
[Restriction Breaking Technique] was one of the signature auxiliary skills of spirit cultivators. It specialized in breaking all kinds of restrictions, barriers, and formations. It could help cultivators sneak into many heavily guarded places without being noticed.
Just like the Flying Sword Technique for sword cultivators, the Restriction Breaking Technique was also one of the compulsory skills for spirit cultivators.
A burst of illusory spiritual power twisted and flickered. The first layer of the Flying Cloud Sect's formation, which was not a high-grade formation, melted like winter snow. It did not cause any ripples, and was broken by Su Shu.
Looking at the entrance that could allow one person to pass through, Lu Qingshan nodded to himself.
This was the advantage of fighting in small groups.
There were six great sects of cultivators, and the cultivators of each sect had their own strengths.
For example, spirit cultivators had mysterious means and all kinds of strange skills with endless uses. However, their direct combat ability was slightly inferior to other professions.
If it was a one-on-one battle, this weakness was extremely fatal. However, if it was a small group battle, spirit cultivators could play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, and better utilize their abilities.
Many seemingly complicated tasks, under the circumstances where the cultivators of the various sects displayed their strengths and cooperated with each other, would become easy to complete.
Just like the scene before them. If Xu Hao carried out this mission alone, with his combat ability, it would not be a problem for him to fight the four Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Flying Cloud Sect alone.
However, the problem was that this mission was not something that could be completed alone.
First of all, Xu Hao could not pass through the Flying Cloud Sect's Sect Protection Formation.
Once the Flying Cloud Sect's upper echelons discovered Xu Hao's tracks and activated the second layer of the Defense Formation, Xu Hao would have a headache for a long time.
Moreover, the Flying Cloud Sect's upper echelons were not gatekeeper bosses waiting for him to kill.
If the Flying Cloud Sect's upper echelons chose to flee after activating the Defense Formation, Xu Hao would have an even harder time dealing with them.
Now, for the Tiger Team, Xiao Zhi sent out spiritual beasts to scout out the positions of the four Foundation Establishment cultivators. Then, Su Shu would break the formation, and the rest would sneak in quietly.
After finding a good position, once they made their move, it would be like a thunderbolt that could not be stopped.
.....
The six cultivators of the Tiger Team quickly went through the entrance of the formation that Su Shu had broken.
"Everyone, head to your target's cave abode. We'll attack together after fifteen minutes!" Xu Hao said in a deep voice.
Everyone nodded. Then, they dispersed in all directions and headed to their target locations.
Lu Qingshan and Su Shu were in the same team. There was no lack of seniors leading the newbies, but it could still be considered a classic combination.
A sword cultivator who was the main attacker and a spirit cultivator who was the support type. This was a classic combination that had been proven through time and was popular in many games.
The two of them climbed up the mountain. Although there were many Qi Refinement disciples of the Flying Cloud Sect along the way, Su Shu and Lu Qingshan were able to detect the traces of these low-level disciples in advance thanks to the Foundation Establishment cultivators' Divine Telekinesis. They avoided them with ease.
The Flying Cloud Sect was not big. Lu Qingshan and Su Shu soon arrived at their target's cave abode.
The two of them hid outside and waited for the time that Xu Hao had agreed upon.
.....
A moment later, fifteen minutes had passed.
Su Shu pursed her lips lightly. "Do it!"
As soon as she said that, Su Shu pointed her finger and pointed forward.
Restriction Breaking Art!
It was impossible for a Foundation Establishment cultivator's cave abode not to be protected by a barrier.
However, Su Shu's Restriction Breaking Art could even silently break the Flying Cloud Sect's Sect Protection Formation.
How could a barrier set up by an Early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator be stronger than the formation that the sect had spent so much effort to set up?
The barrier protecting the cave abode crumbled instantly.
Lu Qingshan charged into the cave abode with his sword in hand.
At the same time, Su Shu kept making hand seals. Two spiritual lights, one red and one yellow, were attached to Lu Qingshan's body and sword at almost the same time.
[Fire Collapse]: Temporarily adds additional fire magic damage to the target's attack.
[Breaking Hardness]: Temporarily adds sharpness + 2 to the target's artifact.
These were two support spiritual arts that could increase Lu Qingshan's damage.
Inside the cave abode.
The intense spiritual energy fluctuations caused the Foundation Establishment cultivator, Zhu Quan, who was in the middle of practicing his cultivation method, to be startled.
He instinctively released his Divine Telekinesis to investigate the situation, but he realized that his action was somewhat redundant.
Because in his line of sight, a figure had already entered his sight.
Followed by a cold light.
This was the Weeping Soul Sword's Soul Shock skill that had never failed.
This time was no exception.
Before he lost consciousness, Zhu Quan used his fastest reaction time to cast a defensive spell.
A door-shaped shield made of thick rock appeared between Lu Qingshan and Zhu Quan.
This was a spell cultivator's Rock Shield spell.
Looking at its thickness, the skill's level was definitely not low.
Lu Qingshan's expression didn't change.
The Weeping Soul Sword didn't hesitate. Sword and Rock Shield.
A line of frost appeared in the middle of the shield, then the Rock Shield was cut in half. The edge of the cut was neat and didn't have any teeth.
The Weeping Soul Sword's sharpness + 1, combined with the sharpness + 2 of Breaking Hardness.
The thick Rock Shield was like a piece of paper, unable to stop the power of Lu Qingshan's Weeping Soul Sword.
After breaking the Rock Shield, seeing that Zhu Quan's eyes had regained a bit of clarity, Lu Qingshan didn't hold back. He circulated his spiritual energy and swung the Weeping Soul Sword at Zhu Quan's neck.
Secret Sword: Wind Slayer!
Even though Zhu Quan immediately channeled the Spiritual Energy in his body to form a Spiritual Energy shield to block Lu Qingshan's attack.
But it was useless.
Lu Qingshan's Weeping Soul Sword flowed with spiritual energy and collided with the spiritual energy at Zhu Quan's neck.
Without the slightest ripple, Zhu Quan's Spiritual Energy Shield quickly disappeared.
This was not only a difference in quantity, but also a suppression in quality.
The spiritual energy cultivated by the Ultimate Scripture couldn't be compared with the spiritual energy cultivated by ordinary cultivation methods.
Two afterimages of sword moves appeared.
A cold light suddenly flashed and cut off Zhu Quan's head.
When Su Shu followed Lu Qingshan into the cave residence, she only saw Zhu Quan's head flash through the air.
The head fell in front of Su Shu.
Su Shu's red lips parted slightly.
That's … it?
