That Internal Organ Critical Hit is really effective!
Fu Qian looked at the corpse on the ground, then at his right hand.
Taking advantage of the moment the middle-aged man slammed his head into the barrier, he'd decisively closed the distance and used Internal Organ Critical Hit on the wound opened by his whip.
The result was that this Transcendent, at least Sixth Order or above, was instantly killed. His abdominal cavity was practically blown apart like a grenade, leaving nothing inside.
This skill was terrifying. In terms of raw power, it was basically his strongest skill.
It's just that the activation requirements were too strict; he had to get into close combat.
And there was no guarantee that some higher-level Transcendent wouldn't be able to jump around even with their internal organs gone.
Fu Qian shook his head and flicked his hand towards the barrier.
Several drops of blood flew out and hit the barrier, splashing into mist without leaving a trace.
It was impossible to leave any trace.
Fu Qian picked up the middle-aged man's corpse, cleaned up the scene, and erased all evidence.
Alright, now he could go get reinforcements.
There was nothing else to do here. With so many people inside, there was no reason not to use them.
After tidying up the scene, Fu Qian quickly returned the way he came. It didn't take long before he heard voices ahead. From a distance, he saw Ji Liushuang and the others.
Compared to when they left, this elite squad looked much more disheveled. Almost everyone was injured.
And besides these nine people, there was another person dressed in black brocade. He had sharp eyebrows, piercing eyes, a dignified appearance, and a sword at his waist.
This is the standard attire of a powerful figure... could it be the legendary peak Fourth Order, volatile Transcendent, Li Weixuan, who had mastered the art of the sword?
During their recent rest, the person the team discussed the most was this Vice Dean who was leading them.
Fu Qian had passively heard many of his great deeds. It was clear that he was an idol to many.
Seeing him now, he truly lived up to his reputation.
Li Weixuan looked no older than forty, with a calm demeanor and sharp eyes, like a heavy sword that had been polished countless times, sharp, weighty, and possessing both hardness and flexibility.
No wonder that assassin brother was so determined to lure him away; head-on confrontation would have been impossible.
This person was probably the most terrifying Transcendent he had encountered so far.
Peak Fourth Order, truly formidable.
At this moment, the group on the other side was also staring intently at Fu Qian.
"He's back."
Yuan Xin, frowning, pointed at Fu Qian, his expression somewhat displeased.
Were they just discussing me?
"I'm back."
Fu Qian completely ignored their strange expressions and greeted his teammates naturally.
Li Weixuan turned his head and sized Fu Qian up.
"Where did you go just now?"
"Scouting the situation."
"Scouting the way you came?"
Someone in the team scoffed.
"You went scouting, did you find anything?"
Li Weixuan, however, showed no reaction, his eyes fixed on Fu Qian.
"Yes, I was just about to communicate with everyone."
Fu Qian remained composed.
"We can't get out."
"What do you mean?"
"Literally."
Fu Qian made a gesture.
"The way we came is now blocked by an invisible barrier. We're like grasshoppers in a glass bottle now."
His words caused a stir.
"What nonsense are you spouting? If you're going to make excuses, at least be more convincing..."
Yuan Xin's face was already showing anger. It was bad enough that this guy had abandoned them, but now he was spouting such rubbish.
In fact, it wasn't just him; the others had the same reaction, especially the one whose arm had been tied by hair.
The group had barely escaped the encirclement just now, and his arm was still sore and weak. Recalling the previous scene, he felt like a complete joke.
What was infuriating was that this guy had known that thing was hair all along but still watched him make a fool of himself. Later, he had even abandoned his teammates and fled alone, which was utterly despicable.
"A barrier..."
Li Weixuan didn't immediately scold him, but instead stared thoughtfully at Fu Qian.
"You're Sixth Order?"
Sixth Order?
Yuan Xin and the others could hardly believe their ears. When did this guy get promoted?
They considered themselves the cream of the crop among their peers, yet the strongest among them, Ji Liushuang, had only just brushed against the threshold of Sixth Order.
"Yes."
Fu Qian hadn't intended to hide anything, so he didn't deliberately conceal his aura. It was perfectly normal for Li Weixuan to notice.
"Good."
Li Weixuan gave Fu Qian a deep look. He didn't know much about this student, but he had already heard about the situation just now.
While the monster was strange, a Sixth Order Transcendent wouldn't flee from such a predicament. But if what he said was true...
"Take me to see it."
Silence reigned on the way. Fu Qian led the way, and everyone's gaze upon him was incredibly complex.
Young people were all competitive. Many had been determined to impress Li Weixuan during this activity.
Now, hearing Li Weixuan's tone, this ill-tempered fellow was practically a bona fide Sixth Order, surpassing even Ji Liushuang.
"It's here."
Upon reaching their destination, Fu Qian pointed forward, gesturing for everyone to observe for themselves.
There's an invisible barrier here? I can't see anything!
Everyone exchanged glances.
Yuan Xin walked forward with a frown and pushed. His expression turned incredulous.
"There really is something!"
He couldn't help but shout back. Hearing him, the rest of the team swarmed forward in disbelief, only to be blocked by the barrier.
Some tried to punch it, finding no reaction.
How could this be? There were no obstacles when they arrived.
Li Weixuan didn't rush forward, but he couldn't help but frown at the scene before him.
"Use your weapons."
Ji Liushuang, ahead, nodded. She drew her sword and aimed it at the barrier. The group made way for her.
Taking a deep breath, her mind steady and her spirit firm, Ji Liushuang struck.
A flash of green light appeared, swift as a startled swan. This strike was even more ferocious than before, instantly crossing several paces to pierce the invisible barrier.
Not bad.
Li Weixuan's gaze held a hint of approval. Though this sword strike was slightly unpolished, the intent was there.
However, this thunderous attack didn't stir a single ripple. The moment it touched the barrier, it stopped dead, leaving only the trembling sword body humming.
This...
The group stared, dumbfounded. It was truly indestructible!
"Everyone, step aside."
Li Weixuan's voice cut through the air. The crowd's eyes sharpened, and they quickly cleared a path.
Finally, Fu Qian watched the scene with satisfaction.
He hadn't pinned his hopes on Ji Liushuang and the others from the start. He had been waiting for Li Weixuan to act.
Peak Fourth Order, divine weapons.
This should be the strongest penetrative force they could find in this ruin.
If the barrier could be broken by brute force, this would undoubtedly be one of the most likely options.
