Chapter 257: That’s Right, the Main Plot Is Escape! (3)
Translator: Daoist6fubtiW
Not only did the Jiang Family expert make the next move, but he was also enveloped by Su Yang’s Starfire Sword River.
Following the footsteps of other Jiang Family disciples.
With the death of the Jiang Family’s Qi cultivation level seven expert, the Jiang Family disciples who witnessed this scene were thrown into chaos.
After a moment, the entire Jiang Family had been taken over by Su Yang.
After taking over the Jiang Family, Su Yang began to collect the cultivation resources within the Jiang Family.
He didn’t leave any behind. Under the calculation of the power of causality, all useful cultivation resources for him had no chance of escaping.
After spending some time, his strength soared from Qi cultivation level five to Qi cultivation level seven.
“Done… Now, it’s time to go trouble that Jiang Family Patriarch…”
Although the Jiang Family Patriarch is not the ultimate participant in this closed-loop world, there are still things on him that can enhance Su Yang’s strength.
With his current strength at Qi cultivation level seven, killing the Jiang Family Patriarch would only take a bit of time.
Su Yang tidied up a bit, then left Changhe Town, heading towards the direction of the Baimu Forest.
With his current Qi cultivation level seven strength, he no longer needed to travel on foot. Sword intent enveloped his body, transforming into a stream of light that disappeared on the spot.
This kind of technique consumes a lot for ordinary Qi cultivation level seven practitioners and can only be used as a means at critical moments, not for travel.
However, Su Yang didn’t need to worry about such consumption issues at all.
Baimu Forest
After some twists and turns, the strength of Mantis Blade and others had reached Qi cultivation level three, with Mantis Blade leading the others at Qi cultivation level four.
For the current progress, Mantis Blade was very satisfied.
“Not bad. Indeed, using this method can elevate my strength to Qi cultivation level four. Continuing like this, our chances of successfully breaking this closed-loop world will be even greater.”
After being slightly happy, Mantis Blade’s expression became serious again. “Prepare yourselves. Jiang Family Patriarch should be on his way. Next, we need to figure out how to assist the Iron Fist Sect Elder in killing that Jiang Family Patriarch. Only by killing him, obtaining the resources in his possession, and enhancing the Elder’s strength a bit more, can we increase our chances of survival.’
“But Elder Zhang Tieshan from the Iron Fist Sect still needs some time to break through to the perfect Qi cultivation level seven. We must lure out the Qi cultivation level eight demonic beast deep in the Baimu Forest, so that it can fight with Jiang Family Patriarch.”
“That is our only chance, but it requires sacrificing one person. Mantis
Phantom, you will be the one to do this.”
“No problem.”
With their current strength, they couldn’t possibly contend with Jiang Family Patriarch, even when Elder Zhang Tieshan completes his breakthrough. However, their only chance lies deep in the Baimu Forest.
In the depths of the Baimu Forest, there is a Qi cultivation level eight demonic beast giving birth.
As long as they can snatch the offspring of this Qi cultivation level eight demonic beast and throw it onto Jiang Family Patriarch, no matter how Jiang Family Patriarch deals with the offspring, he will inevitably face persecution.
Naturally, they have means to conceal their own aura, making it temporarily undetectable to the Qi cultivation level eight demonic beast.
After all, their true strength is at the Mystic Immortal level, but it can only be sustained for a limited time. This time is precious and serves as their only opportunity to steal the offspring of the Qi cultivation level eight demonic beast.
Fortunately, they were well-prepared, as this was part of their planned strategy.
Mantis Phantom immediately took action.
Following the agreed-upon decision, the situation initially unfolded as they had predicted.
After a while, Jiang Family Patriarch arrived.
They began to resist desperately, waiting for Elder Zhang Tieshan to complete the refinement of the resources in this area.
Mantis Phantom also attracted the Qi cultivation level eight demonic beast from the depths of the Baimu Forest at this critical moment.
At this moment, deep in the Baimu Forest, the Qi cultivation level eight demonic beast was chasing behind Mantis Phantom. Mantis Phantom was running wildly, and with his current speed, the Qi cultivation level eight tiger demon was closing in at every moment.
It could be seen that Mantis Phantom was holding a tiger demon cub in his arms. While sprinting, he directly charged towards Jiang Family Patriarch.
At this moment, Jiang Family Patriarch was engaged in a fierce battle with disciples of the Iron Fist Sect.
When Mantis Phantom rushed over, without hesitation, Jiang Family Patriarch struck out.
Mantis Phantom didn’t resist at all, showing a triumphant smile on his face. Both he and the tiger demon cub died together under Jiang Family Patriarch’s strike.
“Roar!”
The Qi cultivation level eight tiger demon, chasing after them, witnessed this scene helplessly and roared in anger.
Jiang Family Patriarch also noticed the situation and immediately sensed the danger.
“Not good! Fell into a trap!”
Unfortunately, it was too late. The tiger demon, infuriated, locked onto Jiang Family Patriarch and immediately engaged in a battle with him.
Seeing this scene unfolding exactly as planned, Mantis Blade and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
If anything unexpected happened, their plan would have been ruined, and they would have to wait another three days.
Fortunately, everything was proceeding in the right direction. Although sacrificing one person, Mantis Phantom’s sacrifice was worthwhile.
“Big Brother Feng, look, someone is flying over there…” Mantis Caiyun spoke again.
“Flying? How is that possible? Without reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, flying consumes a great deal of energy. Those below Qi cultivation level eight can’t fly for long.”
“At this moment, who else at Qi cultivation level eight would come here? Are you sure you didn’t see it wrong?”
By now, he had seen the direction Mantis Caiyun mentioned.
“It’s that human cultivator!”
“How could his strength be so strong!”
“Is he planning to confront Jiang Family Patriarch directly? Is he insane?” Mantis Blade was a bit confused.
“But, Big Brother Feng, it seems like the strength of that human cultivator can match Jiang Family Patriarch now…”
Mantis Caiyun weakly spoke, causing Mantis Blade to fall silent.
Just as they were discussing, the human cultivator arrived at the scene and suddenly condensed a sword river in front of him. Directed by the human cultivator, the sword river attacked Jiang Family Patriarch, with each strike possessing the power of Qi cultivation level eight.
Each strike could be considered a full-powered attack of Qi cultivation level eight.
However, Jiang Family Patriarch could still fend off one or two strikes with ease. Yet, facing the countless Sword Rivers, he was utterly defenseless.
Sensing the danger, he immediately fled.
How could Su Yang let him escape?
He commanded the Sword Rivers of starfire to chase after him.
The escape route of Jiang Family Patriarch was blocked by the Sword Rivers of starfire.
The entire earth trembled.
In no time, he was directly slaughtered by Su Yang.
After killing Jiang Family Patriarch, the countless Sword Rivers did not dissipate immediately. Su Yang casually slaughtered the Qi cultivation level eight tiger demon as well.
This scene left several Mantis Clan members completely stunned.
“This…”
“Big Brother Feng, isn’t the mainline of our closed-loop world about escaping?” “Yes, it is indeed about escaping…”
“But is this human cultivator’s mainline slightly different from ours? Is his mainline about letting the enemies within the closed-loop world escape?”
Mantis Caiyun’s words left the team in temporary silence, as no one could figure it out.
Who exactly is fleeing in this scenario?
