Chapter 384 Powerful Enemy
Chapter 384 Powerful Enemy
"What should we do with Lu Yu? Should we just go up and start fighting?"
Ling Tianxin was on the city wall, listening to the conversation of the people below clearly.
The more she listened, the angrier she became.
She didn't expect the Greedy Wolf Hall to be so despicable, actually setting a trap to deceive their own disciples.
Isn't Kong Sheng the personal disciple of the hall master? Shouldn't he be allowed to have stronger opponents in the competition? What's the point of competing if he's not allowed to be challenged by others? They should just let him win first place directly.
"Wait a moment, the numbers don't add up."
Bai Xiaoxi was manipulating the formation in front, and discovered that there were not only these three people in the ruins of Tianya City, but also another person who hadn't shown up.
These three people in front of them were all formidable characters.
Let's not talk about Kong Sheng, who was the hall master's personal disciple, a master at the Foundation Building stage in the Great Perfection realm. He was just waiting for the start of the Tianji Trial to break through to the Gold Core stage.
As for Wei Shixiong, he was much older than Kong Sheng and had already successfully entered the Gold Core stage. He was one of the few Gold Core stage powerhouses among the disciples of this generation, or you could say he was the backbone of their strength.
What was most important was that this guy was also very skilled in formations, and was highly regarded as a rising star in the Greedy Wolf Hall.
As for the strength of the other disciple, it was not weak either, at the advanced stage of the Foundation Building stage.
What worried Lu Yu and the others the most was the disciple who hadn't shown up.
They say that hidden enemies are the most terrifying. What if the one hiding is not a disciple, but a powerful elder?
Just as they were hiding and waiting for the last enemy to appear, suddenly a violent explosion came from the direction of the central hall in the city not far away.
"Boom, rumble..."
After the intense explosion, a thick red smoke rose in the direction of the central hall.
"The third senior brother is really persistent. He has been causing such a commotion in the central hall for so long, but he hasn't obtained any treasures."
"Haha, there's nothing in that hall except for a cat. Do you really expect a cat to hide any treasures?"
"That's not necessarily true. That's a cat that has reached the Foundation Building stage, different from an ordinary cat demon."
"But it was still killed by Senior Brother Kong with one punch."
...
Kong Sheng and several Greedy Wolf Hall disciples were eating barbecue and chatting. From their conversation, it was revealed that the fourth person who hadn't appeared should be Mu An, the third senior brother of the Greedy Wolf Hall in this generation.
"So it was Mu An inside, that makes sense. This guy is greedy and lustful, never letting go of any benefits. He's known as the Pixiu of the Greedy Wolf Hall. But his strength is just average, having just broken through to the Gold Core stage."
"Just broke through to the Gold Core stage? If we count like this, among the four of them, two are in the Gold Core stage and two are at the Foundation Building stage in the Great Perfection realm. It's three against four, we don't have much chance of winning."
Lu Yu quickly analyzed the strength comparison between the two sides, and tragically discovered that they seemed to be at a disadvantage now.
Once Mu An returned, they would have almost no chance of winning if they made a move.
After all, among the three of them, there wasn't even one Gold Core stage powerhouse, while Kong Sheng had two!
Don't underestimate the difference of less than a small realm between the Foundation Building stage in the Great Perfection realm and the Gold Core stage. But why do people say that only when they enter the Gold Core stage can they truly step into the path of cultivation?
It's because the improvement in strength at the Gold Core stage is enormous!
Moving mountains, filling seas, flying and burrowing underground, these spells can only be learned and used when one reaches the Gold Core stage.
So, it's definitely not possible to confront two enemies in the Gold Core stage and two enemies in the Foundation Building stage head-on.
Just as they were pondering how to deal with Kong Sheng and his group, a figure hurriedly approached from not far away.
"You guys didn't even wait for me to finish roasting the meat! Luckily, I suddenly remembered there was still meat to eat, otherwise I would have missed out big time!"
Mu An rushed back and sat down next to the roasted meat, reaching out and tearing off a big piece to eat.
"Third Senior Brother, what did you guys find after causing such a commotion earlier?" Wei Changshan asked with a smile.
"Ah, don't mention it. Besides a strange statue, there was nothing inside. That statue is really weird, I attacked it with all my strength but it didn't budge. Maybe one of you can take a look later?"
"Forget it, Lu Yu and Ling Tianxin should be here soon. Let's focus on eliminating them first before worrying about anything else. We've pretty much explored everything in this ruin, so there shouldn't be any more treasures."
Kong Sheng held a sword in his arms and said coolly.
"Yes, let's focus on the task at hand. As for that statue, if it doesn't work, we can all go take a look before we leave, right?"
Wei Changshan also agreed.
"Ah, there's no need for that. I just wanted to see if there's a secret passage behind the statue, but it seems like there isn't. Alright, let's eat... eat..."
The next few people were just chatting casually. Lu Yu obtained the necessary information and signaled to Ling Tianxin and Bai Xiaoxi. The three of them quietly left the city wall.
"As expected, these guys are really despicable! Lu Yu, what should we do?"
"Do you think they would kill us if they encountered us?"
Lu Yu didn't answer her question, but instead asked in return.
"Definitely. Those guys are all bad news. Mu An even wanted me to be his cultivation partner. Hmph, even if I were blind, I wouldn't choose him!"
"Since that's the case, we naturally can't just sit and wait for death. So I've decided to deal with them right here!"
Lu Yu gritted his teeth.
He had originally wanted to cultivate quietly, but he didn't expect that there would still be people after his life.
Do you really not know what crazy things a person might do when they're pushed to the limit?
"Ah? Are you going to fight them to the death? We don't have much chance of winning, do we?"
"Of course, we can't confront them head-on. I remember there's a corridor in the central hall, and there are some things that can be used to set up a formation. Xiaoxi, is it difficult to set up a killing formation there?"
"No problem."
Bai Xiaoxi nodded.
She was most skilled in formations. And formations didn't care about your actual strength. Even if you were a master in the Nascent Soul stage, you might not be able to break out of the simplest formation if you didn't know how to break it.
"Let's go, let's set it up first, and then lure them into the killing formation. Let them have no way out! These guys set traps for us, right? Let's set a trap for them too!"
"Yes, let them taste the feeling of being blown up!"
Ling Tianxin agreed fiercely.
She was not lightly affected when those two green balls exploded just now, and she still held a grudge.
After deciding on a plan to deal with Kong Sheng and his group, the three of them, like a fox sneaking away, left the city wall and headed towards the central hall.
