WAY

CHAPTER 301 - REPRESENTATION

In the forest, Gu Yuankai sat crossed legged on the ground and was slowly absorbing and releasing heaven and earth origin energy from his body. He was cleansing the injuries in his body.

But even so, Su Lie still felt that it was a little too slow.

He walked up and down the forest in large strides. Ye Han, Wu Yan and the others were a little baffled by Su Lie's anxious look.

Su Lie, there's no need to be so anxious. We've already gathered so many people from the very beginning and are already walking in front of them. We should still have some time.

Ye Xuanyue said.

Luo Yu softly consoled him, saying, Don't be anxious, it's okay. Even if it's a bit late, we'll just fight them head on. There's definitely a way.

Su Lie nodded his head, his face still showing signs of impatience. How could he not know about this? But if he wanted to pass this selection easily, rushing to the center area was the only way.

Although he knew he couldn't rush it, he couldn't help but feel anxious when he thought about how those people were all rushing towards the central region.

An hour passed in a flash, but Gu Yuankai was still unfazed.

Su Lie was almost unable to endure anymore and directly woke Gu Yuankai up before he left on his journey. However, if he were to disturb Gu Yuankai in his recovery, it might expend some of his potential. To Gu Yuankai, this was definitely an unbearable injury.

Whew ~

After almost two hours, Gu Yuankai let out a long exhale, and his eyes instantly opened.

At this moment, most of the wounds on his body had been healed, leaving behind only shallow streaks of blood. His face was also flushed red and his eyes shone brightly.

Although it had not reached its peak, it had at least recovered about seventy to eighty percent.

Let's go!

He looked around, then stood up and spoke out.

You've finally recovered!

Su Lie also let out a sigh of relief before waving his hand: Let's go!

The ten or so people instantly moved. With their Earth Origin Stage cultivation level, their speed was naturally extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the distance.

Su Lie led the way in front. Not even sparing the consumption of his Origin Energy, he used his movement technique to move forward. The people behind could feel Su Lie's urgency. Although they did not understand, they still did their best to follow behind.

The group of people moved as fast as lightning through the forest, rushing towards the central area.

In just half an hour, they had travelled over a hundred kilometers.

Su Lie!

suddenly said from behind him.

Su Lie's footsteps slowed down as he turned to look at Ye Han. Following his gaze, he looked to his left.

There were also seven or eight people who were hurrying along. Judging from their clothes, they were most likely rogue cultivators.

When those people saw Su Lie's group, their expressions all changed slightly as their expressions instantly became tense.

They could tell that Su Lie's group was not to be trifled with. Furthermore, their numbers were even higher than theirs. If they were to fight, they would definitely suffer a loss.

Let's go, don't waste time.

But Su Lie shook his head slightly and waved his hand.

Hmm?

Even Ye Xuanyue's face revealed a hint of doubt.

While flying, Su Lie opened his mouth and said: The selection has only just begun, even if we snatch all the Imprint Source Stones from them, it's still not enough. Furthermore, if we stay here for too long, once the remaining people finish gathering at the center, then it'll be very difficult for us to advance any further, and we might become the prey of others.

Although everyone was puzzled, they still had a lot of trust in Su Lie. Seeing that Su Lie did not stop, Ye Han and the others did not persist any longer and followed behind Su Lie.

Relax, in the end, they all have to rush to the central area and will not be able to escape.

Su Lie smiled and said.

Luo Yu followed beside Su Lie. She said while looking at Su Lie, You want to rush to the center area and wait for me?

It's very appropriate. However, this is only one of them!

Su Lie smiled slightly and then said: We need to firmly occupy the center area and disperse the rest so that they won't gather together.

This is impossible!

Ye Xuanyan slightly shook her head and said, "First, let's not talk about the fact that the central region is very vast, and just with the rest of us, we cannot disperse the people that have already gathered in the central region. If we were to forcefully take action, our energy consumption would be shocking as well.

Su Lie laughed and said: It is indeed impossible for us to do that, but don't forget that Gu Yuankai and I are array masters. As long as we arrive a step earlier, we can make many preparations and allow us to be invincible.

Ye Xuanyue was slightly stunned for a moment before nodding her head. A hint of a smile also appeared on her face before she said, In that case, only we can choose a few small powers that are left alone to deal with.

Right, swallow the smaller ones first, then sit back and watch the fight while we clean up the mess.

Su Lie said.

Everyone finally understood Su Lie's thoughts. There was no longer a need for him to urge them on as they all quickened their pace.

Boom!

However, after just a few miles, a muffled sound of impact could be heard from the front.

Everyone's footsteps couldn't help but slow down as they looked towards Su Lie and Ye Xuanyue, who were standing in front of them.

Continue on your way!

Su Lie said directly.

However, as they continued to move forward, the sounds of battle grew clearer and clearer. Furthermore, the distance between them was quickly shortening, as though they were heading straight for each other.

Su Lie slightly frowned, but his steps did not stop as he continued to rush forward.

A few minutes later, after they passed through a small hill, the situation in front of them finally appeared in their line of sight.

Spider Tattooed Tiger?

Gu Yuankai was slightly shocked.

Not far in front of them was an enormous tiger with gray stripes that were several tens of feet tall. It was following the shadows of several people as it flew towards Su Lie's direction.

If Su Lie and the others wanted to continue on their journey, they could not avoid running into the Spider Tattooed Tiger. Otherwise, they could only take a detour.

Roar!

The Spider Tattooed Tiger's enormous figure suddenly grabbed forward, and its incomparably thick tiger claw slapped out, as that enormous mouth instantly opened, pouncing towards the other person's head.

Those people were all rogue cultivators, so when they gathered together, they would have nothing to say. Otherwise, with their strength, even if they could not kill the Spider Tattooed Tiger, it would not be a problem for them to fight back.

However, these people only cared about escaping, and had no intention of fighting.

Bam!

As the tiger claw struck down, the last person saw that he could not escape and had no choice but to stop. Gritting his teeth, he pushed out his palms to block the tiger claw.

However, an adult Spider Tattooed Tiger at least had a cultivation of the seventh or eighth level of the Innate realm, how could he resist with his Fourth level of the Earth Origin Stage. He was instantly sent flying by the claws, his arms were twisted and his mouth spewed blood.

On the other side, the person clenched his fists and punched out. Scarlet flames surrounded his fists and a pair of giant fire fists flew out from them and into the Spider Tiger's mouth.

Roar ~

With regards to Spider Tattooed Tiger, their mouths were definitely weak. When they were attacked together, they let out a painful roar as their large mouths closed abruptly and two black flames sprayed out from its thick nose. As if instinctively, the tiger tail behind it was like a giant rod as it smashed down.

Bam!

The speed of the tail was too fast. That person had no time to dodge at all and was directly hit on the shoulder. The force exploded and that person instantly paled as he staggered backwards.

Before he could stabilize himself, the other tiger claw of the Spider Tattooed Tiger had already reached him.

Following a dull explosive sound, a crack appeared on the head of the person who answered his question. Then, a red and white substance splashed out. He didn't even make a sound before instantly falling to the ground.

That powerful?

Xu Kun was even slightly speechless. His strength was only comparable to that rogue cultivator, if he was hit by that claw, he would probably be in trouble.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them had fallen to the ground and the bodies of the rogue cultivators became even more anxious. However, when they saw Su Lie's group, they only hesitated for a brief moment before turning around and rushing towards the small hill they were on.

These bastards!

Wu Yan's face turned ashen.

Those rogue cultivators clearly wanted to draw the fire onto their bodies.

Su Lie only furrowed his brows, then loosened his brows and said: Yu Wei, go and greet these people with Gu Yuankai and the rest. Leave the Spider Tattooed Tiger to me and Senior Sister, finish the battle quickly and don't waste any time.

Su Lie and Ye Xuanyin exchanged a glance before their figures flashed out, passing by those rogue cultivators without even sparing them a glance.

Roar!

Seeing that there was someone who dared to block in front of him, as if he felt that his dignity had been challenged, the Spider Tattooed Tiger roared and with a stomp of its four legs, it instantly pounced forward.

The Spider Tattooed Tiger was at least twenty to thirty feet tall, flying through the air towards them. The momentum was extremely astonishing, as if a small mountain was smashing down on them.

Be careful, I'll face it head-on. You must find an opportunity!

With a grasp of his hand, the long sword appeared in Liu Xuanyue's hand. With a tap of his feet, he leapt into the air and slashed towards the head of the Spider Tattooed Tiger.

When Su Lie saw Liu Xuanyue making a move before him, he could not help but rub her nose. Then, he flipped his hand and summoned the scarlet azure blade.

When the rogue cultivators saw that Su Lie and Liu Xuanyue had blocked the Spider Tattooed Tiger, they instantly let out a sigh of relief. They slightly swept their gaze behind them and confirmed that the Spider Tattooed Tiger was not chasing them.

Everyone, we saved your lives. Shouldn't you all express your intentions?

At that moment, a voice slowly came from behind them.

The two of them were shocked, and turned their heads in a flash, only to realize that they had unknowingly fallen into the encirclement, surrounded by people. Those people raised their heads and looked towards Luo Xiaoyu, Gu Yuankai and the rest, revealing expressions of panic.

CHAPTER 302 - SCOUNDREL

Roar!

The giant tiger roared as its massive body pounced forward. Every move of its contained an astonishing amount of energy, and the claws it made left behind deep craters in the ground. Even trees and boulders would instantly crack upon contact.

Two figures surrounded the tiger. Numerous sword Qis swept across the air as they slashed horizontally. The Qi in the air roiled and shrieked as it collided with the tiger.

Not too far away, a dozen figures surrounded the four to five people, staring coldly at them.

Gu Yuankai stared at the group of people, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and his face was also covered with a cold aura.

These people were not good either. Without even thinking, they had lured the Spider Tattooed Tiger over and robbed them, feeling no guilt in their hearts. Moreover, in this selection, the Tianyuan Sect wanted them to continue fighting for it, so there was nothing much to say.

The five people were surrounded in the middle, like lambs in a pack of wolves. All of them had pitiful looks on their faces, almost trembling in fear.

Seniors, you're right. You saved our lives. How can we not express our thoughts?

Amongst those people, the one with the highest cultivation stood up and laughed awkwardly. He then said: I still have several tens of thousands of primeval stone, if Senior Brothers and Sisters do not give them up, then I will accept them.

I also have a Bloodstalk Jade Vine on me, and it's a Rank 4 Elixir. I'll also give it to you as a gift to senior brothers and sisters. Please express your gratitude.

The other person rolled his eyes and also said.

Wu Yan could not help but sneer. Stretching out his palm, he pulled one of them directly in front of him and coldly snorted. Do you think we look like idiots?

The aura on Gu Yuankai's body also instantly turned ice-cold. Even at this time, these people were still playing tricks in front of them, and were completely asking for trouble.

Let go!

The person in Wu Yan's hand immediately struggled.

Originally, his cultivation was not much weaker than Wu Yan's, but with Gu Yuankai and the rest by his side, he did not dare make a move, only pushing at Wu Yan's arm with his flushed face.

I don't want to waste words with you, just leave the Imprint Source Stones behind and you can scram. Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite.

Gu Yuankai's expression was extremely cold.

That won't do. Let us protect them from disasters. How can we let them go so easily? We'll leave your Cosmos Sacks behind before leaving.

Luo Xiaoyu snorted and gripped the hilt of her sword, We cannot kill you, but if we leave you behind, it shouldn't be considered a violation of the rules.

The four or five people looked at Luo Xiaoyu's ice-cold face and could not help but to gulp down a mouthful of saliva.

How could each of these people be more vicious than the last!

Didn't you hear me? Do you really want us to make a move?

Ye Han also slowly took a step forward, the elemental energy within his body instantly erupting forth as the aura around him explosively increased.

The expressions of those people changed slightly. The expression of the person in the lead also sank slightly as he spoke slowly, You all, there is no need to be so ruthless, you should leave a trace of yourself so that we can meet again in the future.

When you lured the Spider Tattooed Tiger over, did you think of leaving it alive? If we didn't have some strength, maybe many of us would have already become the spirits of the dead.

Gu Yuankai scoffed coldly, before opening his mouth once again, You are actually still thinking of meeting each other in the future, do you believe that we won't let you have no future?

Senior brother Gu, why are you chatting with them?

Wu Yan also clenched his fist and took a step forward.

Are you guys going to take it out yourself, or are we going to do it ourselves?

Luo Xiaoyu's arm flashed and she grasped the long sword in her hand. She poured her soul force into it and a wisp of sword energy began to flow from the tip of the sword.

A few of them stared fiercely at the four or five person. A trace of fear appeared in the eyes of those people.

Unless you kill me, I will definitely not hand over this Imprint Source Stones.

The rogue cultivator in the lead firmly said as he tilted his neck back.

He had seen for himself that the Tianyuan Sect had a rule that no one was to be killed and he believed that Luo Xiaoyu and the rest would not dare to kill them. Furthermore, he did not believe that they would cripple him.

Gu Yuankai looked at the man's dead face, which seemed to be unafraid of boiling water, and frowned slightly.

Ye Han and the others could not help but stare. Was he trying to be a scoundrel?

They had seen many rascals, but this was the first time they had seen a Earth Origin Stage Ranker acting like a rascal, it was extremely fresh.

If you want to think about it, you've probably chosen the wrong person.

Luo Xiaoyu sneered and a sword light flashed. She had actually attacked without the slightest hesitation.

The faces of those five immediately changed.

The leader of the group saw a ray of sword light heading straight for his Dantian. His pupils constricted and his body instantly moved. He wanted to dodge, but was Luo Xiaoyu's sword really that easy to dodge?

Luo Xiaoyu was indeed easy to talk to, but when it came to outsiders, it was completely different. She really did not have any scruples.

You want to escape now?

Ye Han also sneered, he took a step forward, and his palm suddenly pressed down. His tyrannical spirit energy landed on that person's shoulder like a mountain, Too late!

Pfft!

Without any hesitation, the sword aura instantly pierced into his dantian. His elemental energy immediately gushed out and the aura in the person's body quickly fell down. In the blink of an eye, he had fallen below the Natal Opening Realm Realm.

That person's face instantly turned pale.

With his dantian crippled, the path of martial dao in this life came to an end.

You really did it?

The man stared at Luo Xiaoyu blankly with a look of disbelief on his face.

Gu Yuankai couldn't help but shake his head, he really didn't know how this person managed to cultivate to the Earth Origin Stage.

Who else doesn't want to hand it over?

Luo Xiaoyu didn't even look at that person as the long sword in her hand trembled. In the blink of an eye, she turned to look at the other four.

In that instant, their entire bodies trembled and they quickly took out their Qiankun bags. They didn't dare to delay any longer and directly brought them to Luo Xiaoyu.

Scram!

Ye Han loosened his grip, and released that person.

That person stood there in a daze, as if his three souls had already left his body. It was as if he was still in a dream.

As for the other four people, they didn't even look at him as they turned around and dashed off.

That person's Dantian had already been destroyed, so they were no longer the same person. Bringing along could only be a burden.

Boom!

In just such a short period of time, Su Lie and Liu Xuanyue had already completely suppressed the Spider Tattooed Tiger. Liu Xuanyue's sword hacked down on the tiger's head, leaving a bone deep scar as it fell onto the ground.

Although this Spider Tattooed Tiger had the strength of the eighth level of the Earth Origin Stage, it was not enough against Su Lie and Liu Xuanyue. Even if it was just Su Lie alone, as long as he spent some time, he would still be able to kill it.

Seven Planets Sword Formation, Kill!

At the same time that the Spider Tattooed Tiger fell to the ground, the two Seven Planets Sword Formation instantly covered the ground, enveloping the Spider Tattooed Tiger's enormous figure. Streams of Sword Qi shot out from all directions from the Spider Tattooed Tiger's body.

Puff puff puff …

One after another of slicing sounds came out, the Spider Tattooed Tiger's blood continued to spew out.

After a few breaths, the sword formation dispersed, and the Spider Tattooed Tiger was no longer moving, only leaving behind a bloodied corpse.

Find the Imprint Source Stones s in front of us and continue to move forward.

Su Lie exhaled a breath of air before speaking.

Although it was just a short moment, in order to finish the battle quickly, he and Liu Xuanyue had exhausted a lot of energy. However, he had eleven Origin Energy Seeds in his body, and his recovery speed was extremely fast.

Wu Yan and Xu Kun then went forward and retrieved the Imprint Source Stones s that had died on the bodies of the few rogue cultivators, along with their Qiankun bags.

The few of them continued on their way, heading straight for the central region.

Along the way, they had met many people, but they did not stop. Furthermore, they had also discovered that Liu Xuanyue's guess was not wrong, many people were rushing towards the center region, and even though there were people who were trying to escape to the periphery, those people were all independent rogue cultivators, and with their strength, they truly did not have any means of survival, and could only avoid the outer region. If they were to find a place to hide, and come out after three days, they might even be able to protect the Imprint Source Stones on their bodies.

Although they had encountered many people, they did not have many people and their strength was not very strong either. Compared to Su Lie's group, there was still a huge gap.

Furthermore, although those people did not dare to offend Su Lie's group, they would not be so courteous to the remaining people. As long as one's strength was weaker than theirs, almost all of them would attack without the slightest hesitation.

On the way, they had already seen ten battles. Just on the first day, there were already people being eliminated from the competition.

Of course, there were also people like Su Lie's group who were rushing towards the central region while fighting against time. All of these people had powerful forces backing them, and they either came from the three great Outer Sect s, or from the three great empires, or from rogue cultivator groups.

When those people saw that Su Lie's group had already gathered such a strong power in such a short amount of time, a hint of shock appeared on their faces. As they brushed past Su Lie's group, they all maintained their vigilance, afraid that Su Lie would take the risk and attack.

Su Lie was too lazy to care about those people. As long as those people didn't crash into him, he wouldn't have the mood to do so. Right now, all he wanted to do was to rush to the central area as soon as possible.

With him persisting like this, the group's speed naturally wasn't slow. In just two hours, they were already only a few dozen miles away from the center region. With their speed, they would arrive in less than ten minutes.

But at this moment, they had no choice but to stop.

Not far in front of them, they saw another battle, but this time they couldn't just ignore it.

This was because among the people fighting, one of them was the same as them, also from the Dayuan Dynasty branch.

They could ignore others, but if it was one of them, it would be completely different …

CHAPTER 303 - IMPERIAL DISCIPLE OF THE GREAT QING DYNASTY

A disciple of the Great Qing Dynasty Royal Family?

Ye Xuanyue looked at the people in front of him and couldn't help but wrinkle his brow.

Su Lie slowly slowed down his steps. His eyes fell on those people and his face sank slightly.

There were almost twenty people in front, but it was an extremely unfair battle. On one side, there were only six or seven people, but on the other side, there were over ten people.

Just like Su Lie's group, the disciple who came from Dayuan Dynasty's branch office was on the side with fewer people, one of the six to seven people there.

The six or seven people were fighting with their lives on the line, but they couldn't do anything as their opponents were too strong and there were too many of them.

Their opponents were all dressed in dark blue robes, with green pythons embroidered on the back of their robes and small braids on their heads. They looked extremely special, exactly like the style of the Great Qing Dynasty Royal disciples.

There were a total of twelve of them, the weakest was at the third level of the Earth Origin Stage, and the strongest was actually at the level of the Fifth Stage of the Earth Origin Stage. Even Su Lie was slightly shocked by this level of strength, he never thought that there would be such a talented young disciple in the Great Qing Royal Family.

However, even though that person had a cultivation at the fifth level of the Earth Origin Stage and was one stage higher than him, Su Lie was not afraid in the slightest when it really came to fighting.

My patience is limited. If we don't hand it over, don't blame us for being too excessive.

One of them angrily snorted.

Moreover, the martial arts they practiced were also extremely marvelous. As for the others, they were a bit pitiful, considering that they had fewer people, but their cultivation was still weak. The martial arts used by the few rogue cultivators were not even at the Earth Ranked, but they were all Mortal Ranked martial arts.

This was the sorrow of an itinerant cultivator. If he wanted to obtain a powerful martial art, it would be extremely difficult. He did not want to be in a sect where as long as he was willing to work hard, he would not lack high-grade martial arts.

Although they had used all of their strength, charging left and charging right, being surrounded by the Great Qing Royal disciples seemed like they were facing an impregnable fortress, and couldn't move at all.

Those who were able to participate in the selection all had their own talents and pride. There were only a few who were as shameless as Su Lie's group earlier on. After all, they were not willing to hand over the Imprint Source Stones s in their hands just like that, but they had no other choice, and could only resist in vain.

Save him!

In a split-second, Su Lie saw the situation clearly and said.

Although killing was not allowed in the selection, the rules were dead and the person was alive. If an accident happened, then there would be no way to regret it.

's eyes reddened as he rushed to the very front. The person who was surrounded by the Great Qing's royal disciples was one of the members of the Tiankun Group, who was ranked 18th on the Heavenly Origin Ranking.

Among them, the one with the weakest cultivation might be the strongest, but of the group of six or seven, he was the one with the strongest cultivation.

As Su Lie's group neared, the Great Qing Royal disciples immediately noticed them and instantly became vigilant. However, the moment they saw Su Lie's group, their expressions changed slightly.

The disciple with the highest cultivation in the Great Qing Royal Family turned her head and looked at Su Lie's group.

Everyone, this is a matter between our Great Qing's royal family and these people, please give me some face, I will repay you in the future.

The man spoke slowly.

Don't you think it's embarrassing to bully with numbers?

Xu Kun said coldly.

That person could not help but chuckle, and said: This world is a place where the strong preys on the weak. Furthermore, this selection is for us to fight over the talented. If you want to fight for injustice, then you have chosen the wrong place.

Xu Kun was stunned.

At this time, the Tiankun Group disciple also noticed Su Lie and the others, and her face instantly revealed a look of ecstasy.

Brother Xu, quickly save me!

the man shouted.

When he saw that Su Lie, Liu Xuanyue, Gu Yuankai and Ye Han were all present, his expression immediately relaxed.

But the expressions of those Great Qing's Royal disciples instantly changed.

You know him?

The leader of the Great Qing's royal family also had an ugly expression on her face.

Not only do we know each other, we're also fellow disciples of the same sect.

Su Lie chuckled and said.

The few of them rushed over in an instant. Finally, the Great Qing royal disciples could no longer afford to surround and kill the few people in the middle. They all stopped and turned around to face Su Lie's group, a trace of solemness on their faces.

When they sensed the powerful auras coming from Su Lie and the others, the Great Qing Royal disciples' eyes revealed traces of panic.

What do you say now?

Liu Xuanyue gazed at the disciple leading the Great Qing Imperial Family and spoke directly.

Although you guys are very strong, we are not pushovers. It's like fighting, you won't get any benefits.

The man was still tough.

Su Lie couldn't help but shake his head and impatiently said: We are in a hurry, we don't have time to waste here with you. Be more straightforward. Either fight or release these people, you guys can choose.

He did not expect that Su Lie would be so direct. They were obviously not willing to let him go and let the cooked duck fly away like that, and they also did not want to lose face. However, if they were not willing to fight, they would definitely be the ones at a disadvantage.

Hurry up and make your decision. After five breaths of time, if you still don't have an answer, then you'll be considered to have tacitly agreed to fight.

Liu Xuanyue slowly said as well.

They were not afraid, although it was true that the strength of the Great Qing's royal disciples could not be underestimated, with her and Su Lie here, settling this issue was not necessarily troublesome, and might cause some injuries, but those royal disciples would definitely not be able to escape either.

The disciples of the Great Qing Royal Family stared at Su Lie's group. They seemed to be deciding whether or not Su Lie's group would really dare to fight. They did not know why Su Lie's group looked so confident.

The two sides had roughly the same number of people. In their opinion, the outcome should be fifty to fifty.

Time's up!

Su Lie extended his palm, and the Fallen Red Green Peak appeared in his hand. With a grasp of his left hand, the Qiankun Pen also appeared in his hand.

Since they were going to fight, in order to save time, Su Lie intended to use his full strength from the very beginning.

Kill!

Liu Xuanyue chuckled, the sword in her hand slashed, a Sword Qi instantly slashed out, his figure following closely behind, at the same time she pounced out.

Seeing Su Lie and the others attacking as they pleased, the eyes of the Great Qing Royal disciples twitched.

These madmen!

They couldn't help but curse in their hearts.

As far as they were concerned, when they fought at this time, both sides would suffer losses, and the only thing they could do was to take advantage of others.

Stop!

A sharp aura was locked onto his body, causing the heart of the disciple who was the leader of the Great Qing Imperial Family to slightly tremble, as he hurriedly opened his mouth and shouted.

I've already given you guys the time, but you guys didn't treasure it.

Liu Xuanyue just snorted coldly, she did not have any intention to stop, and continued to slash even faster.

You all …

The man stared at Liu Xuanyue, he was anxious and angry, with a flick of his wrist, a spear appeared in his hands, the spear spun and a burst of tyrannical power was like an angry dragon raising its head, roared out and slashed at Liu Xuanyue's Sword Qi.

Bam!

When the blades and spears made contact, a muffled explosion immediately sounded out. A terrifying force was like a sharp blade that cut in all directions.

Tap, tap, tap …

That person's face instantly flushed red as the blood in his body surged. He could not help but retreat continuously.

So strong?

That person's expression instantly changed.

He and Liu Xuanyue had the same cultivation level, and in his mind, their strengths shouldn't have too big of a difference. But he never would have thought that with just a casual sword strike from Liu Xuanyue, he would already be at a disadvantage without even using a martial arts technique.

Retreat!

Without any further hesitation, he turned around and flew away with a light 'hur'.

Su Lie's footsteps had just moved when he saw those people already running away. He could not help but be stunned for a moment before he shook his head and laughed.

He casually put away the Fallen Red Green Peak and Qiankun Pen, then raised his head and looked towards the Tiankun Group disciple opposite of him.

Are you alone?

Su Lie asked.

Although they were separated from each other, there were at least one or two people on each Herba Euphorbiae.

The man let out a faint sigh and said: Senior Brother Teng Yun was originally with me, but now …

Su Lie and the others could not help but be slightly stunned. Even without that person's words, they already knew what would happen to that person.

Has anyone already been relegated?

Su Lie couldn't help but frown.

Su Lie, hurry up and leave. The longer we drag things out, the more people we'll lose.

Gu Yuankai said.

Su Lie nodded and then said: Follow us.

He moved his body and continued to head towards the center area. However, after a few hundred feet, he slowed down and turned his head to look behind him.

Why are you guys following us?

He frowned as he spoke.

That rogue cultivator also followed behind them.

After a slight hesitation, one of them walked out, looked at Su Lie and Liu Xuanyue and asked, Can we join you two?

Su Lie was slightly stunned. He instinctively wanted to refuse. These people's origins were unknown, and he had no idea what they were like. Moreover, they weren't very strong, so it didn't seem to be of any use to them.

But then he thought about it again. They already had the smallest number of people in all of the powers. If they could absorb some rogue cultivators, they could make up for it, but managing these people would be troublesome.

Su Lie could not make a decision, and could not help but look towards Liu Xuanyue and Gu Yuankai.

There shouldn't be any problems. It might be a good thing!

Gu Yuankai nodded.

Liu Xuanyue slightly knitted her brows, and said: I'm just afraid that when we're weakened, they will cause a backlash.

If we are really weak to that extent, then we are not far from being relegated. Even if they do not act, others will be able to easily take us down.

Su Lie could not help but ask.

Then accept them.

Liu Xuanyue thought about it and nodded her head.

The few of them continued on their way, and Su Lie's mind involuntarily started to move.

CHAPTER 304 - GUARANTEE

The few of them continued on their way, and Su Lie's mind involuntarily started to move.

He had planned to reach the central region before everyone else and disperse the major forces that had yet to gather. But now, it seemed that it was impossible. Although he still insisted on rushing to the central region, his goal was to protect himself in advance.

Since we have too few people, why don't we take those rogue cultivators over?

He couldn't help but think in his heart.

The four rogue cultivators' support allowed him to see another path.

In this selection, there were actually a lot of rogue cultivators. If they could all be gathered, even the Great Spirit Empire would not be a match for them.

Su Lie pondered on how he could gather those rogue cultivators, and couldn't help but ask the four rogue cultivators: Do you all know rogue cultivators like you?

The four rogue cultivators were slightly stunned, one of them nodded and said: I come from a small clan in Great Qing Dynasty, I basically know all the rogue cultivators that come from there, and some of them even have some friendship with me.

Su Lie's eyes couldn't help but light up. He immediately asked: If we see them, can you let them join us?

The rogue cultivator couldn't help but be slightly startled, then said, You're willing to accept them?

Su Lie nodded his head and said: Why can't I? I guarantee their safety if they join us, and I won't touch the Imprint Spirit Stone in their hands, so long as they stand by our side, we can't share the Imprint Spirit Stone with them.

If they were able to gather all of them, even if they didn't take action and just stood on Su Lie's side, as long as enough people gathered, their imposing manner would naturally rise. If they wanted to make a move, they would have to weigh the pros and cons.

Those rogue cultivators were not very strong. What Su Lie wanted was not their combat strength, he just needed them to help strengthen his reputation.

Even at the very end, you won't touch our Imprint Spirit Stone?

Another person quickly asked.

Su Lie nodded and said: "I, Su Lie, do not consider myself to be a gentleman, but I am also not a vile person. Since you have joined us, then you are our own people.

The four of them instantly revealed a hint of joy. What they were most worried about was that in the end, Su Lie would attack them and seize the Imprint Spirit Stone on their bodies. This was also the reason why those rogue cultivators were not willing to join those forces.

Although following beside Su Lie's group didn't mean that they would get more Imprint Spirit Stone, their safety was guaranteed. Furthermore, they could keep the ten Imprint Spirit Stone on them, that was enough.

After three days, as long as there was still one Imprint Spirit Stone left on them, they would pass this selection. As for the top three, they had long forgotten about them.

Ever since they saw the strength of the three great Outer Sect s and three great kings, their only thought was to ensure their own safety and try their best to keep the ten Imprint Spirit Stone s on them.

With these two points, Su Lie had already assured them that they would no longer have any worries.

Su Lie has always kept his word. If any of you do not feel at ease, you can leave. You will not force him.

Seeing that those people were still hesitating, Wu Yan could not help but let out a cold snort, and between his words, he already revealed a trace of dissatisfaction.

After chasing them away at this time, with the strength of the four of them, regardless of which side they came across, there would only be one outcome.

Su Lie did not stop Wu Yan either. Most of the time, the best method would be for the radish and the rod to increase their strength.

Seeing that Liu Xuanyue and the rest were staring at them, the expression on the four of them shrank as they slowly nodded their heads in agreement.

Su Lie looked at their reluctant expressions and couldn't help but frown. He thought for a while and then said: How about this, I also don't need you guys to pull people over, as long as you pull one person over, I'll give you guys a Imprint Source Stones. The people who come later will also have the same, as long as you bring people over, there will be Imprint Source Stones.

Really?

The four of them instantly revealed looks of excitement.

Since there were no benefits, they naturally did not have any motivation. Now that they had the benefits from Su Lie, they were instantly moved. They had already begun calculating how many people they could attract.

Su Lie flipped his palm, and over ten Cosmic Bags appeared in his hands, opening them one by one. Inside were Imprint Source Stones, a total of over a hundred of them.

As long as you pull people here, it will be redeemed on the spot.

Su Lie said directly.

When the four people saw the flashes of light in Su Lie's hands and the seemingly conjoined Imprint Spirit Stone s, their faces couldn't help but surge with greed. After fiercely swallowing a mouthful of saliva, the four of them nodded in unison.

Alright!

Su Lie couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face.

Using just one Imprint Source Stones to exchange for another was too good of a deal, even if he had to give away all the Imprint Spirit Stone in his hands, he would be willing to give up all of them in exchange for over a hundred rogue cultivators. At that time, that power would even dare to face them.

Liu Xuanyue, Gu Yuankai and the others slightly looked at each other, a hint of joy surging out of their eyes. They also didn't think that Su Lie would think of such a method.

If they could pull the three kings over to those rogue cultivators, then they really wouldn't need to fear anyone.

Su Lie really has a lot of ideas.

Liu Xuanyue also smiled.

Luo Xiaoyu's eyes were shining as she looked at Su Lie.

Hurry and go!

With a wave of his hand, Su Lie once again ran towards the center.

While sprinting, he continued to send a sound transmission to Gu Yuankai: Once we reach the central area, the two of us will make our move. We will lay down a formation and create a safe camp for the rogue cultivators, and then, we will do our best to recruit those rogue cultivators.

Gu Yuankai nodded and sent a sound transmission back, Alright!

He was the Rank three formation master, and although Su Lie was only a second rank formation master, he had set up an array formation that was comparable to the Rank three formation master. With the two of them working together, they could set up an array formation that was sufficient enough to ensure that even a few experts at the peak of the Earth Origin Stage would not be able to break through it.

Do you really not want to touch the Imprint Spirit Stone in the hands of those people?

Gu Yuankai thought about it, then asked.

Even if they only gathered a small number of rogue cultivators, the amount of Imprint Spirit Stone in their hands was not a small amount.

Su Lie secretly nodded his head and sent a sound transmission: I have something to do, but I won't do it.

Gu Yuankai pondered for a moment before nodding his head.

As long as they could protect those rogue cultivators, the three powers would not have as many Imprint Spirit Stone s in their hands. After those powers fight, they would jump out to clean up the mess.

As they gradually neared the central region, Liu Xuanyue flew at top speed and even left marks along the way. If any Dayuan Dynasty were to discover them, they would naturally follow the marks and rush to reunite with the others.

Ten minutes later, he arrived at the central region. Upon seeing the situation in the central region, Su Lie could not help but be astonished.

At first, he thought that their speed was fast enough, but he never thought that there would be many people faster than them. The small mountains in the center area had already begun to be occupied, and many banners had been raised, each with their own unique style.

When those people saw Su Lie appearing, countless gazes from the mountain peaks immediately swept over. Some of them had a hint of joy on their faces and were about to rush over to kill, but when Liu Xuanyue and the others appeared behind Su Lie, their expressions immediately stiffened and all of their gazes were instantly retracted.

On those mountain peaks, although there were people gathering, because of the short amount of time that had passed, the strength that had been gathered was also extremely limited. Most of them were not as strong as Su Lie's group, and naturally did not dare have any ideas about them.

Su Lie's eyes swept over them and his brows could not help but slightly furrow.

Although the central area was extremely vast, there were only a few mountain peaks left. Now that they were all occupied, it seemed like they had nowhere else to go.

Over there!

Before Su Lie could make up his mind, Liu Xuanyue had already opened his mouth and pointed the long sword in his hand at a mountain peak to the left.

Su Lie looked towards the mountain peak and a trace of a smile appeared on his face. He then nodded his head.

That mountain peak was occupied by the disciples of the Great Qing Dynasty. However, Xiao Wei, the strongest warrior on the's Heavenly Origin Ranking, was injured by Su Lie and the others and had yet to arrive.

Moreover, since the grudge had already been settled, there was nothing left to worry about. If they could expel all the people from Great Qing Dynasty, that would be even better.

Didn't they say that there are two experts in the branch of the Great Qing Dynasty Sect who have been cultivating for ten years?

Su Lie's eyes swept across the mountain peak as a trace of vigilance appeared on his face.

With the strength of those two, it was very likely that they had already reached the central region. If they were on that mountain peak, they would have to weigh whether it was worth it or not.

Although Su Lie was not afraid of those two, once they fought, there would definitely be some injuries. Right now, there were many people eyeing them covetously. If they showed the slightest bit of fatigue, they would probably be torn to shreds.

I don't think he has arrived yet. If he wants to make a move, it should be faster. If he really does wait for those two people, it will be quite troublesome.

Gu Yuankai said.

Su Lie swept his gaze over the mountain peak and found no trace of those two. He nodded his head and said, Okay, let's go together and finish this quickly.

The few of them flew out and headed straight for the mountain.

Seeing Su Lie's group of over a dozen aggressively charging towards the mountain peak, not only were the Great Qing Dynasty's disciples momentarily shocked, even the surrounding mountain peaks also had gazes sweeping over.

CHAPTER 305 - PEAK SNATCHING

In the central area, Su Lie and a dozen of people ran towards the Tianyuan Sect branch.

When the disciples of the Tianyuan Sect Branch saw the movements of Su Lie's group, their expressions all changed. Their eyes were filled with vigilance and their eyes also became closed.

Who are these people?

And on the remaining few mountain peaks, the gazes of those powers had also landed on Su Lie's group.

It's someone from the Daiyuan Outer Sect!

With so many people gathering, it was impossible that no one would not recognize Su Lie and the others.

However, Liu Xuanyue, Gu Yuankai and the others had already rushed to the Inner Sect for quite some time. Furthermore, they had already inquired in detail about it long ago, being one of the few heavyweight disciples that had participated in the selection this time.

Are they making a move against the people of Great Qing Outer Sect?

A few people stood on top of the mountain, their eyes flashing. They seemed to be in high spirits, ready to watch a good show.

In their eyes, it was extremely unwise to forcefully fight against a major power not long after the selection had begun. No matter how the final result was, there would always be losses, but if it was someone else fighting against someone else, they would naturally be happy to see it happen.

Having watched a battle between two tigers, they naturally felt happy in their hearts as they had watched a good show and preserved their strength.

From the looks of it, his strength should be around the same. I wonder what will happen in the end?

Some began to guess the result.

It's most likely a fight to the death. We need to prepare ourselves. Once the battle is over, we'll immediately take action!

The leader of the group had already started giving orders, and there were more than one faction that had already made such arrangements.

Is he planning to swallow them both?

Many of the disciples below already had excited expressions on their faces.

Of course, if I were to miss such a good opportunity, it would truly be a thunderbolt from the heavens.

As Su Lie and the others charged towards the disciples of Great Qing Outer Sect, although the powers on the various peaks seemed to be quietly waiting to watch the commotion, they had already started secretly one by one.

Su Lie and the others flew to the bottom of the mountain almost without stopping. One by one, they directly flew up and their auras gradually accumulated to a peak.

You better think this through. Once we start fighting, the ones that will profit will be the others.

On the mountain peak, a black-robed man looked at Su Lie's and the others' flying figures with an extremely gloomy expression.

If you don't want to fight, you just have to give way to this mountain peak. We will naturally let you leave.

Su Lie chuckled and said directly.

The disciples on the mountain peak were suddenly filled with anger as the Yuan Power in their bodies started to surge. On the mountain peak, a tyrannical aura continued to expand and it was not weak either.

They were both elite disciples in the Great Qing Outer Sect, so they were naturally proud as well.

Since you're all looking to die, we'll grant your wish!

The leader of the Great Qing Outer Sect had a cold expression. With a grasp of his hands, a long blade appeared in his hands. Feeling the aura emitted by the blade, she should be at least at the eighth stage.

However, a smile appeared on Su Lie's face.

Although the Great Qing Outer Sect had already gathered many people, there were only two truly strong people leading them all. With his cultivation only at the Fifth Stage of the Earth Origin Stage, whether it was him, Liu Xuanyue, Gu Yuankai, or Luo Yu Wei, they could all easily resist the attacks. Not to mention Ye Han, Wu Yan and the others were not weak either.

It was almost impossible for the Great Qing Outer Sect to protect this mountain. Even if they wanted to drag Su Lie and the others down, they would not be able to do so.

Su Lie borrowed the force from the wall twice and instantly leaped several tens of feet high. Passing over the mountain peak, he instantly made his move atop the scarlet green blade. His arm trembled as seven to eight sword Qis instantly shot out and flew towards the crowd at the mountain peak.

You're courting death!

Following a loud explosive sound, from the top of the mountain, a dozen over Great Qing Outer Sect disciples had already rushed towards Su Lie. The leading disciple held his long blade horizontally and slashed out.

Bang, bang, bang …

The two powerful forces made contact with each other in an instant. A frightening force suddenly erupted and swept unrestrainedly across the mountain top.

When the Great Qing Outer Sect disciples who were rushing over felt the terrifying force, their expressions immediately changed.

They could naturally see that Su Lie's cultivation level was not very high, but he actually dared to rush up first, which was why they were so angry that they could not stop themselves from rushing over. However, with Su Lie attacking, they understood that Su Lie's true combat strength was far from something their cultivation realms could measure.

The leader's face also changed drastically. That saber only managed to block two sword lights before it was shattered. The remaining sword lights still carried a terrifying attack as they descended towards the peak of the mountain.

Block it!

He didn't even have the time to make a second move as the sword beam descended with a biting cold aura. His pupils constricted abruptly.

Behind him, those people immediately made their moves. Some of them were swords, some were sabers, some were spears …

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In an instant, a series of tyrannical attacks exploded on the mountaintop. Yuan Power was like a tidal wave as it violently swept across the mountaintop. Within the span of a breath, a section of the mountaintop was cut off.

Who is this kid?

The faces of the spectators on the other mountains also changed.

Su Lie had only made a single move, yet he had already caused the disciples of the Great Qing Outer Sect s to go all out to block it. In the surroundings, there were not many who were confident that they could withstand such a tyrannical strike.

I don't know. I've never seen him before.

The gazes of many people involuntarily landed on Su Lie's body, yet they all felt that it was extremely unfamiliar.

Su Lie had only been in the Inner Sect for two days, and in addition to that, he had been training in seclusion for the past two days, so he had almost never been walking around outside. Those people naturally could not recognize him, but when he made his move, he instantly left a deep impression on the hearts of those people.

Qing Feng Xuan Shi!

Before the unrestrained force on the mountain peak completely dissipated, another light appeared on the surface of Su Lie's heart. Suddenly, a circle was formed and the sharp aura spread out. The disciples on the mountain peak were unaffected and could not help but take a few steps back.

Even the two Fifth Stage of the Earth Origin Stage disciples who were leading them couldn't help but take a step back, and didn't dare to retaliate.

And also at this time, Liu Xuanyue and Gu Yuankai's figures flashed, and landed on the mountain peak.

Buzz!

Liu Xuanyue's arm congealed slightly, and with a swing of her sword, the hazy sword image carried an incomparably sharp force, so much so that it enveloped the entire mountain peak, and swept out majestically while attacking.

The expressions of the two disciples led by Great Qing Outer Sect changed once again. Su Lie alone had made them flustered. At this moment, they had also felt that Liu Xuanyue's move had changed, and their expressions instantly became incomparably ugly.

Kill!

Although they already knew that Su Lie's strength was shocking, they were still unwilling to let go of this mountain peak just like that. The two experts at the front roared and raised their swords and sabers, chopping down angrily.

Boom! A powerful shockwave suddenly spread out from the blade of the sword, slicing into the sword with incomparable ferocity.

Dang, dang, dang!

The sound of metal clashing rang out as the blades and swords shot up into the air. The sword shadows only trembled slightly before they slashed down on their chests. The two of them only had enough time to retract their weapons and block.

Bam!

With an explosive sound, both of them were sent flying. Two streams of blood spurted out from their mouths.

Senior Brother Wu!

Senior Martial Brother Li …

Numerous exclamations instantly sounded from the peak of the mountain.

Fight them to the death!

In the blink of an eye, a furious roar could be heard.

On the peak of the mountain, over a dozen disciples rushed over.

Gu Yuankai could not help but shake his head, his lowered arm slightly moved, and the sword in his hand slipped out in a flash. His fingers tensed up, and with a movement of his body, he quickly rushed forward.

Su Lie also laughed lightly. The Origin Energy in the Qiankun Pen on his left hand suddenly surged and surged as his right hand transformed into a red blade. The Zephyr Blade Technique was activated in an instant and only appeared in a flash, condensing in front of a Great Qing Outer Sect disciple in an instant.

AHH!

When Su Lie suddenly appeared in front of him, that disciple couldn't help but cry out in surprise. As if out of instinct, he instantly retreated, but it was already too late.

Hu!

The Qiankun Pen that was as thick as an arm descended right on top of Su Lie's head. It carried Su Lie's terrifying strength and actually had a feeling that it could cover the sky and cover the earth. It was something that could not be avoided.

A hint of paleness instantly gushed out from that person's face. He abruptly clenched his teeth and raised the longsword in his hand to block above his head.

Bam!

A dull explosive sound rang out. His arm could barely hold for half a breath, and a crisp sound instantly came out from it as it twisted and broke.

The incomparably heavy Qiankun Pen descended right on top of his head. His eyes were filled with the color of death, and the suffocating pressure made him smell the scent of death.

Su Lie's brows could not help but knit together. Seeing that the other person seemed to have given up resisting, his expression changed slightly as well. With a shake of his arm, the Qiankun Pen tilted slightly and landed on his shoulder.

On the same mountain peak, there were so many pairs of eyes watching him. If he accidentally killed that person, there would definitely be someone willing to testify for him and help the sect confirm the fact that he killed someone.

The Qiankun Pen was so heavy, and coupled with Su Lie's terrifying strength, after taking such a blow, even if his body was at the peak of the Golden Stone Stage, he probably wouldn't be able to take it.

His shoulder sank down in an instant. Without making a sound, his eyes rolled back and he fell to the ground in an instant.

CHAPTER 306 - AVALON OF FIVE ELEMENTS FORMATION

Not only did Su Lie's move shatter the bones in his shoulder, the powerful force had also injured his lower abdomen.

After the two leading the experts from
