Martial Exam Student, headed by Long Xiu, were even more enthusiastic and cheered loudly.

Compared to them, Lingbiao Squad was much quieter. Only Huo Dongfeng's eyes were shining, as if he was thinking about something.

Although the scene for the onlookers was long, Deng Qing didn't pause at all. He pulled out Desolate Iron Sword from behind with his backhand, used the strength of his arms, and slashed it down with one sword.

With a bang, the thick and long tail that penetrated into the ground broke into two pieces.

The strange thing is that there is no blood flowing out from the fracture, but a large amount of blue mist rises from the ground.

Deng Qing was just contaminated by the mist, and Qi-Blood all over his body was almost boiling.

He secretly exclaimed, Wasteland Qi is so domineering, and then ran "Devour Heaven Scripture" to export it from the body.

Almost at the same time, Death Scythe's huge body suddenly raised up.

"Roar!"

A roar of pain shook the sand and stones on the ground, and the head hidden under the abdomen finally came out.

The head was as long and narrow as a shuttle, and the big mouth was split straight to the base of the neck, revealing a mouthful of black teeth that were inverted.

Between the eyebrows, there are three blue and black patches of Qi Petal.

Three petals! The symbol of the lowest level Wasteland Beast.

Su Yun did not admit his mistake.

Death Scythe roared in pain and turned his head, his giant eyes glanced around, and the three sickles were raised at the same time, obviously trying to find the thing that hurt him and chop it into pieces.

Death Scythe seems to be extremely sensitive to danger. Just when it was about to swing its sickle, the sickle in the center suddenly shook.

But Deng Qing flashed out from its side, and Desolate Iron Sword used all his strength to slash heavily on the sickle blade from top to bottom.

There was a bang and a deafening sound.

The sickle was not damaged, but its upward momentum was suppressed for a moment.

Almost at the same time, attacks from the left and right sides arrived.

Lin Li's sword fell quickly, Long Xiu and others followed closely behind, and the sword blades hit the sickle on the left one after another.

Lingbiao Squad on the right also took action.

These attacks may seem chaotic, but they are all from top to bottom. They neither attempt to cut off the sickle nor hurt Death Scythe. They just try to suppress its sickle and prevent it from rising smoothly.

In an instant, gold and iron mingled together.

Death Scythe roared again and again and swept away with all his strength. The huge force from the three sickles sent everyone flying.

Including Deng Qing, they were also raised high.

Death Scythe clearly knew who the culprit was. He picked everyone else away and flew away. Only Deng Qing was picked and made a high jump and flew straight towards its mouth.

Deng Qing quickly urged Mystic Wasteland Baleful Blood to cover the whole body, and Desolate Iron Sword in the palm of his hand was gathering momentum.

It was too late, but it was too soon. An iron spear was like a shooting star chasing the moon. It passed through the gap between the three sickles that were about to close and hit Death Scythe right between the eyebrows!

There was a loud bang, and the tip of the gun nailed the three connected roots of Qi Petal, and came out straight through the head.

Deng Qing twisted his waist and abdomen, put his left foot on Death Scythe's sickle, then jumped up, and the sickle disappeared.

Deng Qing grabbed the barrel of the gun that was about to fly away, and grabbed the three-petal Qi Petal in his hand.

The next moment, Death Scythe's huge body collapsed to the ground, and a large amount of smoke rose from around it.

The whole place was quiet for a moment, and then there were cheers that shook everyone.

Not only the Martial Exam Student people were shouting, but even the Lingbiao Squad people, who always took the strong look to heart, couldn't help but cheer.

"It's done!"

"Dead, really dead!"

"Everything is ready, all we have to do is transfer Wasteland Veins."

"..."

Amid the cheers, Deng Qing was surprisingly calm.

He held Qi Petal, and his peripheral vision calmly swept over Huo Dongfeng, and then over Lingbiao Squad behind him.

Huo Dongfeng didn't have any anger on his face.

His eyes swept over the Qi Petal in Deng Qing's hand, his expression as usual. Even the most powerful ones among Lingbiao Squad had indifferent expressions on their faces.

Deng Qing sneered in his heart and already made a judgment.

He put away Qi Petal, threw the iron gun back to Huo Dongfeng, and was soon attracted by Death Scythe on the ground.

Death Scythe's huge body is rapidly vaporizing.

Waves of violent Wasteland Qi rushed out from between the flesh and flesh and spread in all directions. In the blink of an eye, the surrounding sand and gravel were covered with a thick cyan color.

Everyone retreated and waited aside.

Death Scythe's body continued to dissipate, first Wasteland Blood and his head, then the large leather shell on his back, and the most eye-catching three sickles also vaporized.

The entire process of Qi Dissipation lasted for hundreds of breaths.

By the time Qi Dissipation ended, more than two-thirds of the originally huge Wasteland Beast had disappeared.

But the remaining skin and flesh were still piled up into a large piece, and there were many organs left in the torn abdominal cavity.

When the wind blows, a strong fishy smell immediately disperses.

Someone only took half a breath and then suddenly stopped breathing.

Deng Qing also held his breath and stepped away. He raised his hand towards Huo Dongfeng and said, "Mr. Huo, please, please divide these Fortune Meat. After all, you are also a major contributor to killing Wasteland Beast."

Huo Dongfeng waved his hand, "The credit belongs to everyone. If you want to say who stands out the most, it has to be Your Excellency. As the saying goes, don't worry about the two masters, just do it."

Deng Qing nodded, held his breath, let Internal Breath flow around, pulled out Desolate Iron Sword, and stepped forward to divide it.

As he swung his sword, the remaining Fortune Meat was quickly cut into twenty-seven pieces, almost the same size.

He raised the tip of his sword, and a piece of Fortune Meat flew towards the Lingbiao Squad camp, and a Man in Green Robes stretched out his hand to catch it.

Then, pieces of meat flew towards everyone.

Deng Qing divided the meat head by head, leaving nothing on both sides.

At the end of the distribution, I kept two pieces for myself, and then gave two pieces to Huo Dongfeng.

It was agreed before that whoever cuts off Death Scythe's tail will get an extra share. It was not agreed that whoever kills Death Scythe will get an extra share.

But Deng Qing still gave an extra portion to Huo Dongfeng, and Huo Dongfeng took it without being polite.

After dividing Deng Qing, continue to wave Desolate Iron Sword to dig a deep pit in place.

Immediately afterwards, he picked the remaining organs into the pit, then bulldozed them and buried them, thus completing the matter.

When the wind blew away the remaining stench, there was a sound of breathing all around.

Soon, the two camps each collected dead branches and set up bonfires.

The two piles of fire were extremely far apart, almost a hundred feet apart, which showed that even though the two groups had just joined forces to encircle and suppress Death Scythe, the gap between them was still as deep as the abyss.

Soon, the large pieces of Fortune Meat were cut into thick slices, threaded on sharpened branches, and placed on the fire for roasting.

After a while, oil began to seep out of the meat, dripping into the fire and making a sizzling sound.

Huo Dongfeng was sitting by the campfire, turning over the barbecue in his hands.

A thin-faced man came over holding a dead branch and squatted down beside him.

This person's name is Yang Jie. He has a pair of narrow eyes. When adding firewood, he would glance at another bonfire from time to time, "Boss, how long do we have to wait?"

Yang Jie lowered his voice, "Now that we have become these boys, Fortune Meat is all ours."

Huo Dongfeng didn't even look at him, he just turned the barbecue and said, "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. I had a fierce battle with Death Scythe earlier, and the brothers were seriously injured. Fortune Meat you got, eat it first and get well."

Yang Jie said, "But they..."

"They're not mediocre either."

Huo Dongfeng interrupted him, "The people who have come this far are all leftovers from Martial Exam Student's great waves. You have also seen Lin's sword-wielding ability. He is not an ordinary person."

At this point, he flicked the spark, "Especially the one named Deng, his Movement Technique is just like a ghost. How on earth he passed through those three sickles, I still don't understand.

Do you think we should underestimate the enemy and advance rashly in the face of such an opponent?"

Yang Jie stopped talking.

The grease from the barbecue in Huo Dongfeng's hands dripped with a sizzling sound, and a ball of flame exploded. He whispered, "Wait, Wasteland Veins hasn't flowed here yet, there is still time. Tell the brothers to hurry up and recover."

Yang Jie agreed and stepped back.

Martial Exam Student camp, beside the campfire, Deng Qing is also roasting Fortune Meat in his hand.

Long Xiu and Lin Li came one after the other and sat down next to him.

Long Xiu lowered his voice and said, "Brother Deng, those Huo Dongfeng people are not trustworthy. I think they look at us wrong."

Lin Li also nodded and said, "I think we need to make plans early."

Deng Qing changed his hand to barbecue, "You two are right."

As he spoke, he took out the three-petaled Qi Petal from Waist Pouch and held it in his palm, "This thing should be considered a valuable treasure, right?"

"It's very precious and the price is hard to estimate."

Su Yun not far away interrupted.

Deng Qing said, "When I got this thing, Huo Dongfeng didn't react at all. Death Scythe was killed by him with one shot. In theory, this is considered his trophy. I deliberately cut off his beard just to see his reaction, but he didn't even look angry at all."

Lin Li's eyes narrowed slightly.

Deng Qing took Qi Petal away and then said, "In this case, there are only two possibilities.

Or, this person is as big as the sea and doesn't care about these things at all.

Or, he expects that this thing will return to his hands sooner or later. I don't believe the former, but if it's the latter, it proves that he has long had murderous intentions towards us."

Su Yun said anxiously, "But this guy has sworn that if he breaks the promise and harms us, he is willing to be punished by Ten Thousand Blades having his chest pierced."

Lin Li said coldly, "The words of the thief cannot be trusted.

Instead of putting your safety on the enemy's trustworthiness, it's better to prepare for the worst first."

Long Xiu nodded and said, "That's the truth, but the key point is, why don't they take action now? If we are destroyed now, these Fortune Meat will be theirs. Could it be that they are taking the opportunity to recover from their injuries? If so, it is better for us to attack first. Otherwise, when they recover from their injuries, it will only be more difficult to deal with."

Everyone nodded, feeling that what Long Xiu said was reasonable.

Deng Qing was silent alone. He simply got up, carried two pieces of barbecue, walked to a pool of water, and pretended to fetch water.

He filled a gourd of water but did not return. He sat alone by the pond and ate barbecue.

Deng Qing just finished eating, and Lin Li and Long Xiu came over again.

Long Xiu whispered, "Brother Deng, do you think there is something wrong with my proposal just now? There are so many people that it is difficult to refute me, so you come here to hide for a while?"

Lin Li said, "Big things should not be planned by the public. Brother Deng is right. You have an idea and I have an idea. It is true that we will never be able to understand it through discussion."

Long Xiu handed over his hand. "I am all ears."

Deng Qing said, "Brother Long's words are reasonable, but they are a bit out of touch with reality."

Long Xiu frowned, "I would like to hear the details."

Deng Qing said in a low voice, "Don't you two know what kind of team we are? They say that I am taking the lead for the time being, but in fact I can't move anyone around. We all worked hard to kill Wasteland Beast together just now. First, because if Wasteland Beast is not eliminated, everyone's mission will not be completed.

The second reason is that Fortune Meat is available.

Third, and most importantly, it may seem like a big risk, but in fact everyone is following the steps and the risk is quite controllable."

Having said this, Deng Qing pulled out the gourd and took a sip, "But if we really want to go to war with Lingbiao Squad, it will be another situation.

According to my observation, Lingbiao Squad is clearly war-hardened and well-trained.

If both sides fight alone, our strengths are equal, but once a team fight occurs, we will only be at a disadvantage.

At that time, as long as the people's hearts are slightly inconsistent, it will be a disaster for us.

Brother Long, let me ask you, do you think we are all united?"

Long Xiu stopped talking.

The answer is obvious, only if we can do it together will we have trouble.

Everyone is here to do the task, and they are still competitors with each other. They have already started to scheming in order to gain impression points.

Looking forward, Su Yun and the three men went their own way and went to hunt Qi Beast.

Then Lin Li cannot borrow Treasure Armor, this is all clear evidence.

Lin Li sighed, "According to this, isn't what we are facing a dead end?"

Deng Qing said, "It's not necessarily a dead end. We are scattered. If we really encounter a desperate situation, we may not be able to stick together."

Therefore, it is difficult for us to attack first, but when a crisis comes and there is no hope of escape, it is possible for us to fight to the death."

Lin Li nodded, "What Brother Deng is talking about is, so according to Brother Deng, how should we break the situation?"

Deng Qing said, "Simple, eat enough and drink enough, and take care of yourself quickly.

Since the opponent needs to recuperate, he will be able to recuperate for a moment longer, and he will probably not take action until Wasteland Veins is rushing."

With that said, Deng Qing turned to Lin Li, "Brother Lin, once the fight starts, are you sure you can trap Huo Dongfeng?"

Lin Li looked dim and did not answer.

Previously, he did let go of this. Once the war started, he would just brush Huo Dongfeng.

But at that time Huo Dongfeng had not yet taken action, it was just Bone Tempering Fourth Layer in the literal sense.

But when he saw the power of Huo Dongfeng's shot with his own eyes, Lin Li realized that he had overestimated himself and underestimated Huo Dongfeng.

"Brother Lin and I will go together."

Long Xiu suddenly spoke, "When the time comes, the two of us will stop Huo Dongfeng. But the other people in Lingbiao Squad are also very important. The two of us will leave, and the rest..."

"I'll take it."

Deng Qing said, "You two only need to hold on to Huo Dongfeng for a hundred breaths. As long as he can't make a move within this hundred breaths, I can guarantee that we can win this game."

If Deng Qing had said this before, Lin Li and Long Xiu would have just laughed at it.

After seeing the ghost Movement Technique of Deng Qing, Lin Li and Long Xiu would never dare to regard Deng Qing as Bone-Tempering Two.

Lin Li high-fived, "Okay, we will fight to the death to keep you alive for this hundred breaths."

The three of them had settled their calculations and returned to the bonfire.

At this time, many people had already eaten meat, were meditating and adjusting their breath, or were looking for an open space to practice Qigong.

Deng Qing also found a place to sit down and began to carry "Devour Heaven Scripture".

In order to rush Collapse Step to Minor Mastery, the Wasteland Blood originally stored in Dantian has been exhausted.

The cooked meat eaten in the stomach at this time can only be refined into Qi-Blood for the body to consume. It cannot be sealed in Dantian like the refined Wasteland Blood for later use.

After practicing for a while, his body became hot.

Deng Qing got up, found a piece of flat ground next to the campfire, and continued practicing Collapse Step.

He deliberately slowed down his pace and only walked in circles, absorbing all the changes in Movement Technique so that no one could see the magic.

This practice lasted three hours.

When the surging heat in the body gradually calmed down, Deng Qing stopped and looked up, and saw that the night had enveloped Canyon.

At that moment, he called everyone to one place, "Let's all gather around the bonfire to rest tonight and don't scatter. The night watch will be rotated between me, Brother Lin and Brother Long. Please rest assured and keep your spirits up."

No one had any opinions, and no one was competing to express himself.

The team has come all the way to this point. Everyone already knows how capable each person is and how they will behave when encountering difficulties.

Everyone knows that if you really want to compete for ranking, you have to show your skills at critical moments. It is no longer of much use to just say a few words or show your face a few times.

Even Chen Hong, who had been holding back his energy, no longer went against Deng Qing.

Soon, Lin Li volunteered to take charge of the first half of the night. Everyone then lay down in their own clothes by the campfire.

Deng Qing put his hands behind his head, adjusted his breathing slightly, and soon fell asleep.

Two hours later, he woke up on his own.

The flames of the bonfire were much lower, and Lin Li was adding firewood to it. When he saw him getting up, he waved his hand and said, "Nothing, I'm in good condition. You can go to sleep."

Deng Qing shook his head, "As promised, just follow the rules. There will be a fierce battle tomorrow, so it's important to adjust your condition."

Lin Li no longer insisted, added the dead branches in his hands to the fire, and lay down on the spot.

Deng Qing sat beside the fire and looked around.

Blood Moon hung in the dark sky, and the dim moonlight fell into Canyon, casting a strange layer of silence on the sandy ground.

The world is so vast, and Deng Qing's mind is also getting bigger.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, and the flames licked the dead branches with a soft sound.

Lingbiao Squad opposite had also rested, and there was a figure sitting by the fire, whose face could not be seen clearly.

Deng Qing sat for a moment, then suddenly got up and took a walk nearby.

He seemed to be walking casually, but his peripheral vision was focusing on all directions. After a while, he stood at the position where Offal was previously buried.

Deng Qing looked up at the sky, as if appreciating the moon. From the tip of the index finger of his left hand that was hanging naturally, a wisp of Mystic Wasteland Baleful Blood quickly condensed, and then quickly stretched into a thin thread, hanging down towards the ground.

I saw the silk thread touching the ground, easily piercing the soil, reaching down, and soon it hit the Offal ball.

Not long after, a violent warm current flowed into Deng Qing's body along the bloody thread.

Deng Qing immediately moved "Devour Heaven Scripture".

Soon, the incoming turbulence was divided into two, the frantic Wasteland Qi was guided back to the ground along the soles of the feet, while the pure Wasteland Blood was sent into Dantian.

Deng Qing stood still, still paying attention to the camps on both sides.

The wind blew up the corners of his clothes, and the thin line of blood was hidden in the dark and could not be seen at all.

Time passed little by little.

It wasn't until the warm current flowing into the body weakened and finally stopped completely that Deng Qing took back Blood Baleful Intent. Looking at the movement of the moon halo, half an hour had passed.

Deng Qing went to the campfire again, sat cross-legged, and immediately felt the warm feeling Dantian again.

Deng Qing Feel a little relieved.

It turns out that before hunting Death Scythe today, he dared to refine Wasteland Blood out of Dantian and use it to reach the realm of Collapse Step, precisely because he had already set his sights on Offal from Death Scythe.

Otherwise, with the war imminent, how could he be willing to waste his long-term battery life like this?

It was precisely because of the hope of replenishment that he was willing to exhaust his savings, steal another Azure Fish Pill from Huo Dongfeng, and push Collapse Step to Minor Mastery.

It's a pity that most of Death Scythe and Qi Dissipation were so big that they melted away, and a lot of their internal organs also disappeared.

In the end, all he was left with was just over a hundred kilograms.

Although he now has Wasteland Blood in his Dantian, it is far from enough as before.

Deng Qing made up his mind that he would never use these Wasteland Blood easily, not until his death.

With this thought in mind, Deng Qing brought up the panel:

[Realm: Bone-Tempering Two(70%)]

[Devour Heaven Scripture: Initial Understanding: Minor Mastery(56%)]

[Elephant-Throwing Method: Grand Mastery(61%)]

[Mystic Wasteland Baleful Blood: Initial Baleful Intent(80%)]

[Collapse Step: Minor Mastery(23%)]

I am still very satisfied with all the data of Broad Rise and Deng Qing.
