One Shot, One Kill
Not much time had passed between Su Yuan leaving the Shattering the Void World and re-entering it.
The effects of the Clear Spirit Water lasted for about ten minutes, all within Su Yuan's expectations. He wouldn't miss the opportunity behind the Jade Gate.
Call!
Deep within the ruins, Su Yuan opened his eyes.
"Wu!"
Qin Mo, the Mad Blade standing beside him, looked grave and leaned closer, lowering his voice to say, "This is troublesome!"
"This is troublesome?"
Su Yuan glanced at Mad Blade Qin Mo.
"Was that you just now?"
Mad Blade Qin Mo's lips moved slightly, but he didn't utter the last two words.
However, Su Yuan understood what the other party meant.
Leave.
Mad Blade Qin Mo wanted to ask if Su Yuan had temporarily left the game just now.
"Right."
Su Yuan nodded.
No wonder.
Mad Blade Qin Mo felt heavy-hearted.
He then explained, "Several powerful individuals came looking for you, wanting to join forces with you. I tried to call out to you, but seeing that you didn't respond, I turned them down."
After Su Yuan returns to reality, his character in the game will enter an AFK state and will not make any specific decisions.
After all, characters in AFK mode only have the most basic intelligence.
Mad Blade Qin Mo realized in time that Su Yuan might be "AFK," which is why he didn't hesitate to refuse the powerful person who wanted to join forces.
Otherwise, if other powerful figures found out that Su Yuan was "AFK" (away from keyboard),
What awaits them then will not be an alliance, but an encirclement and slaughter.
In that battle not long ago, Su Yuan's strength was undeniable.
If we can eliminate the threat posed by Su Yuan beforehand, I believe no one would refuse.
"Since you're not here, Brother Wu, I have no choice but to refuse their alliance."
"Mad Blade Qin Mo said in a low voice."
After all, since they came to see Su Yuan, they definitely needed Su Yuan's approval.
If Su Yuan doesn't nod, and only Qin Mo nods, it will definitely arouse suspicion.
"Um."
Su Yuan said casually.
"Now, all the fourth-rank experts on the field have joined forces and formed alliances, leaving only us."
Mad Blade Qin Mo said in a deep voice.
Actually, someone wanted to invite him to join forces.
However, Qin Mo knew that once he joined the alliance of others, Su Yuan would be left all alone, which might arouse suspicion and lead others to speculate that Su Yuan was "AFK" (away from keyboard).
It's alright.
Su Yuan shook his head.
All of this was within his expectations.
"Is it alright?"
Mad Blade Qin Mo sighed inwardly, "There are currently four groups on the field: the indigenous powerhouse group, the group of seven peak fourth-rank experts led by Black Light, the group of seventeen fourth-rank experts led by Sisi, and the group of twenty-two fourth-rank experts led by Yin Tiancheng and Luo Xue."
Of course, if he and Su Yuan are considered a team, then there are two teams on the field.
Mad Blade Qin Mo looked at Su Yuan, hesitating to speak.
Among the four groups, the weakest are undoubtedly the twenty-two fourth-rank experts, including Yin Tiancheng and Luo Xue.
Even this group, with its numerical advantage, was more than capable of easily blocking or even suppressing Su Yuan.
Su Yuan's displayed strength leans towards defense, which certainly enhances his ability to survive, but inevitably makes him lacking in offensive capabilities.
If faced with a combined attack from multiple fourth-rank experts, being suppressed is inevitable.
Once Su Yuan is suppressed and prevented from entering the Jade Gate, this threat will be completely eliminated.
"Don't rush."
Su Yuan said.
"I'm not in a hurry."
Mad Blade Qin Mo shook his head; he had already gained enough from this trip to the ruins.
Under Su Yuan's guidance, he obtained a mid-level martial arts manual that would be helpful to him.
It can be said that it is already quite satisfactory.
Mad Blade Qin Mo felt indignant on Su Yuan's behalf.
Given Su Yuan's strength, if no one else forms an alliance, he would undoubtedly be one of the most likely candidates to obtain the treasure behind the Jade Gate.
But now?
Many fourth-rank experts have formed an alliance.
Su Yuan's advantages were eliminated, and he was even at a disadvantage due to the difference in numbers.
"These people only know how to form alliances; they have absolutely no real strength."
Mad Blade Qin Mo couldn't help but feel indignant on Su Yuan's behalf.
"Really."
Su Yuan nodded, "But there's no difference."
After his breakthrough, Su Yuan's strength increased significantly. Even among the top three-rank experts, he was not weak. A group of fourth-rank experts formed an alliance.
For Su Yuan, there was really no difference.
"No difference?"
Mad Blade Qin Mo was stunned, not understanding the meaning of those words.
At this time...
Su Yuan looked at the Jade Gate, which was almost completely open, and walked directly into it.
"Sir, I advise you not to take another step forward." Yin Tiancheng's eyes flashed with a cold light as he looked at Su Yuan and said, "If you go any further, we will make our move."
Yin Tiancheng had witnessed Su Yuan's attack before; his defensive capabilities were indeed terrifying.
However, their group has twenty-two fourth-rank experts, six of whom are at the peak of the fourth rank.
With so many powerful figures joining forces, even Black Light and Yin Tiancheng were confident they could surround and kill him.
Su Yuan is skilled in defense and may have ways to resist, but Yin Tiancheng doesn't need to kill Su Yuan; he only needs to keep him outside the Jade Gate.
"Make a move?"
Su Yuan glanced at Yin Tiancheng with great interest.
At that moment, the other three groups also looked over.
The indigenous strongmen groups didn't react at all; they had never sought to join forces with Su Yuan.
As for the other two groups, Black Light, they frowned.
He was the first person to seek an alliance with Su Yuan, after all, the two had fought before, Black Light was well aware of Su Yuan's defensive capabilities.
Black Light was confident that if he joined forces with Su Yuan, their offensive skills combined with Su Yuan's defensive abilities would make them the most likely candidates to seize the treasure behind the Jade Gate.
However, Black Light wanted to join forces with Su Yuan, but the latter refused to agree at all.
Therefore, Black Light can only form alliances with more peak fourth-rank cultivators.
The more members there are in the alliance, the more people will share the treasure.
"What a pity." Black Light shook his head slightly.
Now that his alliance is finalized, he can't back out, especially with so many viewers watching his live stream.
As for bringing Su Yuan in? Not to mention the other members, even Black Light himself was reluctant. With Su Yuan's strength, once he joined his alliance, he would inevitably take away a large portion of the treasures behind Jade Gate.
At that time, it would mean that Black Light's own gains would be significantly reduced.
"Oh, this person is so pitiful."
Sisi also looked at Su Yuan and lamented in the live stream, "We missed the best time to form an alliance. It's too late now. Everyone has enough spots. If we don't form an alliance, we won't even be able to get into Jade Gate with our numerical advantage."
The live stream chat was filled with comments.
"That's true, Sisi, Sisi don't you bring him in?"
"I think that person is very strong; he easily blocked even the Black Light's attack."
Looking at the comments in the live stream, Sisi immediately shook her head and said, "My alliance is already complete, and it's difficult to bring in others. The others in the alliance won't agree."
If Su Yuan's group is no weaker than Sisi Si's, bringing them in might gain the consent of other allies.
After all, they are not the most powerful group today.
However, even with the addition of Mad Blade Qin Mo, Su Yuan is currently only one person, weak and alone, so there is no need to bring him in.
"Then go die!"
Su Yuan held Silver Spear and swung it lightly, the spear tearing through the air as it thrust towards Yin Tiancheng.
It was supposed to be a simple stab, but because of its extreme speed, Yin Tiancheng, a peak fourth-rank Yin Tiancheng, didn't even have time to react before his head was pierced through.
With a whoosh, Su Yuan pulled back his spear and swung it at a peak fourth-rank cultivator beside him.
"Run!" The red-haired man Luo Xue, suddenly shouted from nearby, "Run!!"
"Huh?" The peak fourth-rank cultivator closest to Su Yuan finally reacted, but the silver spear had already descended.
Bang! The bones in the chest of this peak fourth-grade cultivator shattered into dust, and he flew backward, his life force rapidly dissipating; he was clearly dead.
The terrifying power of the Silver Spear shattered his internal organs in an instant.
"Run!" At this moment, the many fourth-rank experts finally reacted and tried to scatter and escape.
However, after Su Yuan thrust and swung, his figure blurred as he chased after the next peak fourth-rank expert.
"No!" At the last moment, this peak fourth-grade expert turned his head to look at Su Yuan's ever-approaching speed, a look of despair on his face.
His head was immediately pierced by a spear.
Wow!
Su Yuan turned and charged toward another peak fourth-rank cultivator, his terrifying speed resembling that of Gods and Devils descending.
Click!
With the fourth thrust, the spear pierced through the chest of this peak fourth-rank expert, and blood splattered everywhere.
The fifth shot!
The red-haired man Luo Xue, had bloodshot eyes, clearly indicating that he had used a forbidden technique, which had increased his speed and strength. However, under Su Yuan's follow-up shot, all resistance was meaningless. With the Combat Bonus, the red-haired man Luo Xue, fell into darkness.
Call!
Pulling out the Silver Spear that had pierced Luo Xue's body, Su Yuan glanced around.
Five shots.
Five peak fourth-rank individuals.
Even a peak fourth-rank expert, considered one of the strongest warriors in the ruins, was as fragile as paper under Su Yuan's spear, crumbling at the slightest touch.
The entire hall fell silent.
The group of powerful indigenous people, Ascetic Monk Gujin Jinwu, finally showed a look of shock. Su Yuan's strength had far surpassed the limit of the fourth rank, and ordinary fourth-rank experts were like ants in front of him.
"This is?"
Black Light's expression was solemn. As a powerhouse who had been stuck at level 9 for many years and was almost invincible at the fourth rank, he knew all too well where the upper limit of a fourth-rank powerhouse was.
The combat power that Su Yuan is currently displaying is definitely beyond the capabilities of a fourth-grade expert.
"Top three ranks?"
The Black Light was unbelievable.
Su Yuan is a top-tier third-grade expert? How is that possible? Not long ago, he participated in the ambush of Su Yuan. If the other party is a top-tier third-grade expert, how could he have been ambushed and killed?
"Wow!"
Sisi's eyes widened. She had been sympathizing with Su Yuan, but the situation had suddenly reversed dramatically. Su Yuan had killed five peak fourth-rank cultivators with five spear thrusts.
"He's a top-three rank! He's a top-three rank!"
Sisi couldn't help but whisper, "Besides someone of the highest rank personally coming, I can't think of anyone who could pull off this scene."
With a whoosh, Su Yuan retracted his spear, his gaze sweeping over the numerous fourth-rank experts nearby. With just that one glance, all the fourth-rank experts trembled and their legs went weak.
