Chapter 457: This is What You Call a Team Fight, Flawless Surround and Kill! (Part 2)
"
Ya Ya pondered, "With so many of us bombarding and attacking, and with the formation's boost, our attack power is far beyond what Long Ao Jiao displayed earlier. Moreover, our attack frequency is much higher than hers."
"Even if Tu Shan Nana is stronger than Qingyuan Elder Monk, she should be dead."
Most of them nodded, feeling it made sense.
Immortals...
Can't be invincible, right?
If Long Ao Jiao could kill alone, why can't we with our sneak attack and group assault?
"Ah, it's a pity I couldn't help much." He Anxia felt embarrassed, "She didn't seem to react at all."
"It's different. Your approach is unique." Xu Feng Lai comforted, "Your beast taming lineage requires time for nurturing and development. Moreover, at the same level, you have a significant advantage."
"Don't belittle yourselves."
"Exactly!" Su Yan laughed, "Didn't we win? It's a great start! She's completely gone, not even ashes left!"
But at this moment, Fan Jianqiang stepped forward and said, "You're rejoicing too soon.
"Huh?!"
Everyone was taken aback, their faces changing in an instant.
They thought Fan Jianqiang had discovered something, like Tu Shan Nana still being alive?!
That was indeed a scary thought!
If she couldn't be killed...
"She's still alive?"
Ya Ya stepped forward, followed closely by Shi Hao, as they shielded the rest behind them. "Where is she?"
"I don't know."
However.
Fan Jianqiang's response almost made the group curse out loud.
"Then what do you mean?"
"She's an Immortal!"
"A True Immortal from the Immortal World, with formidable strength. Although our performance just now was almost perfect, who knows if she has some hidden tricks up her sleeve?"
"Perhaps she's using some special means to hide!"
"If we can't find her, but she can't find us, we can't assume she's dead. We must be cautious, careful, and even more careful!"
Everyone: "..."
Wow.
You're saying...
But, to be fair, there's a bit of truth to that.
"So, what should we do now?"
"Of course, we should do the whole funeral process, regardless of whether she's dead or not. I'll set up the Chaos Reversal Yin Yang Formation, and then a restraining array. Even if she's truly alive and hasn't been refined by the formation, she won't be able to get out for a short time."
"When we have time, we'll cut off this piece of space and then... Wang Teng can use his Black Hole Fist to directly release this space."
"Only then can we say it's probably safe."
Everyone's hearts were pounding.
Wow!
It's come to this, and you're saying it's only probably safe?!
What kind of 'probably' is this?!
Damn it!
However, no one refuted Fan Jianqiang at this moment.
His theory wasn't wrong; being cautious was indeed necessary...
He wasn't wrong.
After all, they weren't dealing with Long Ao Jiao, who had all sorts of complicated quirks and 'poison points'.
"Then we'll leave this place to Second Senior Brother."
Ya Ya hesitated, "We should go check on He Shidi. He's holding off Zhou Qi alone, and it's probably not easy. I wonder what means he's using..."
When He Qiang was mentioned, everyone was curious.
Such a young one, no, such a small one, was an Immortal!
His strength was likely not weaker than Tu Shan Nana's.
When He Qiang suggested going to stall for time, everyone thought it was dangerous, but they were surprised at how 'easy' it seemed for him.
At least, it appeared extremely effortless.
However, at this moment, no one knew where Zhou Qi had gone.
"Okay."
Fan Jianqiang nodded, "You guys go see if you can help, and I'll also make some preparations."
"Also, we must not be careless. There are still three of them left!"
"And from what I heard, the remaining three are even stronger, especially the leading Immortal. It's likely..."
"That they're a whole realm higher!"
With these words, everyone's expressions changed slightly.
Their mood grew heavy.
Don't be fooled by how effortlessly Tu Shan Nana seemed to kill; in reality, she had the advantage of time, location, and people, and even used tactics like bait and ambushes...
If it's a direct confrontation, how could it be this easy?
If it's a whole realm higher...
Everyone held their breath.
But this wasn't the time for such discussions; they quickly made their way towards He Qiang.
Meanwhile, Fan Jianqiang started to set up the formation...
Clearing the battlefield, the funeral process, and more, were all part of his routine! Whether it was an Immortal from the Upper Realm or a novice cultivator, it was necessary!
...
Soon, Ya Ya and the others surrounded He Qiang.
"Where is he?"
"Yeah, Shidi, where is he?"
He Qiang lifted his head, shaking the unremarkable stone in his hand, "He's inside this."
"This?"
Everyone stared, "What treasure is this?"
"Can it trap a True Immortal? That's incredible!"
"Unbeatable!"
They chattered excitedly.
He Qiang scratched his head, "This...
"It's not a trap, but can it hold him? The best-case scenario is that he dies directly inside."
"But I don't know if it will work. There's a chance he'll die in there, a chance he'll be trapped for a while, a chance he'll break free in a bit, and a chance... a much stronger being will emerge."
Everyone: "Σ(⊙▽⊙“a?!?!?!"
They were all dumbfounded.
What the heck?!
What's with all these possibilities?!
"So, what exactly is this thing?"
Shi Hao tapped the stone.
He Qiang pondered for a moment and decided to explain briefly.
However, he omitted the part about fishing in the multiverse and finding this item by chance. In his description, it was like a random catch while fishing.
At first, he didn't know it was a graveyard.
Later, he discovered it was a burial ground, filled with an eerie aura, as if something sinister was about to revive!
Too dangerous, he dared not enter again. Then, an idea struck, and he tricked Zhou Qi into going in.
Chapter: The Mysterious Tomb
As for the possibility of Zhou Qi suddenly appearing, it was because the graveyard wasn't a cage. Given some time, he would surely find a way out.
But whether he could escape...
That was hard to say.
"Well..."
After understanding the situation, everyone exchanged glances, unsure of what to do.
"What do we do now?"
Wang Teng scratched his head, "Should we go in and take a look?"
"Or just wait here?"
"Hey, can you sense the situation inside?"
He Qiang shrugged, "I can't do it. This thing isn't a treasure, and I can't refine or recognize its master. To understand the situation inside, we'd have to go in."
"Or open the door and sense what's going on."
"But what if Zhou Qi jumps out when we open it...?"
"Zhou Qi jumping out isn't the issue..." Shi Hao pondered, "If that thing you sensed earlier, the one that seemed to be reviving, jumps out, that could be a huge problem."
"Who's to say otherwise?" He Qiang sighed, "That's why I didn't dare go in. I really don't know what's going on. As for how to handle it..."
"Let's discuss it together."
Everyone nodded but furrowed their brows.
The logic was sound, and the words made sense.
But how to act on it was a tough decision to make.
Going in seemed risky.
Not going in meant no one knew if Zhou Qi would jump out later, and if he did, it would be like a ticking time bomb.
Wait, this thing was a ticking time bomb no matter what!
After all, something was about to revive!
No matter who died between Zhou Qi and that thing, the other might suddenly jump out.
This, this, this...
How to choose?!
After a moment, Fan Jianqiang came over.
Seeing everyone staring at each other, he didn't speak but listened carefully. After everyone described the situation, Fan Jianqiang scratched his head.
"This..."
"What's so difficult?"
"Is it hard?"
Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, Fan Jianqiang spoke calmly, "We all understand the current situation, right?"
"So, what do we do?"
"We can't change the risks, so we have no choice."
"But what if we take the initiative?"
With these words, everyone gradually realized.
The logic was flawless.
Absolutely no issues!
This broken stone was like Schrodinger's Stone, no one knew if something would suddenly emerge from it.
This was the premise.
But if one condition was added.
Taking the initiative in an instant...
Then the probability of a crisis would obviously increase.
Since that's the case, why take the risk?
Being passive is being passive, there's no way to change it, we can only passively endure.
Increasing the risk by taking the initiative?
Guo Sheng's actions were truly invincible.
Who in their right mind would do that?
"Well, we..."
"Wait?"
"What else can we do?"
Guo Sheng sighed, "Prepare yourselves. If Tu Shan Nana dies, the remaining three will definitely join forces, and that guy with the highest realm..."
"The real challenge and crisis are yet to come."
Everyone's faces turned serious.
This was the truth!
Guo Sheng added, "But this thing of yours, the Divine Tomb, is also an ill-omened object. While we're passive, we can't be completely passive."
"Here, I'll set up dozens of formations for you, then add several more, and finally, I'll seal it with a hundred or two hundred layers..."
"I can't guarantee it'll be sealed, but it's definitely better than doing nothing."
"Also, He Qiang, you need to be more careful from now on."
"Carrying this thing around is like having a time bomb with a random countdown..."
He Qiang scratched his head and nodded.
Elder Brother's words made sense!
Fan Jianqiang started to act.
At the same time, Zhou Qi inside the Divine Tomb, was barely hanging on...
Time rewound.
When he first entered, he was shocked and wanted to curse, but more than that, he was surprised.
"Holy shit!"
"There's actually a small world inside here?!"
"That kid didn't lie to me."
"But it's a shame he tricked me into coming in, cutting off his own escape route and digging his own grave."
"Hmph~!"
But as he scanned with his divine sense, he felt something was off.
This was indeed a small world, but it was tiny, and there was only darkness with no sign of daybreak. What kind of place was this?
And those graves all over the place, what were they?
But those graves were no ordinary graves!
Divine light shone, and runes covered the place, truly intimidating.
He had never seen such graves even in the Immortal World.
Perhaps the graves of Immortal Kings and Emperors were of this style? But the purpose of such high-level existences having their own hidden realm, their own small world?
After countless years, it would become the opportunity of future generations!
Who would bury Immortal Kings and Emperors in a chaotic graveyard like this?
Ssss!!!
This thought scared Zhou Qi.
He suddenly felt a chilling and eerie sensation, and a cold wind blew.
It was as if an invisible, intangible thing was by his ear... Instantly, his body shivered.
"Who?!"
He shouted.
But the graveyard remained silent, with no response.
It was at this moment.
'Daybreak!'
The sky above suddenly filled with countless glowing specks.
These attacks weren't strong, and with Zhou Qi's strength, he didn't need to pay them any mind.
"Hmm?"
He suppressed his surging emotions and muttered, "Did they discover I'm an enemy?"
"Did they intentionally trick me in here?"
"But these attacks are too weak, do they really think they can kill me with these?"
He was too lazy to even spare a glance, and thus, did not make a move to stop them.
Subsequently, everything unfolded as he had anticipated.
The countless attacks rained down. Those aimed at him dissipated on their own before they could even get close, vanishing without a trace.
The remaining attacks fell haphazardly across the miniature world.
It was a chaotic mess! However, based on his strength and experience, he analyzed where the attacks had originated from, or rather, sensed that the exit was in the sky!
"This... It seems a bit off."
His gaze, which had been focused on the weak attacks hitting everywhere, slowly narrowed.
"No! This place is too sinister, giving me an ominous feeling."
"I need to get out of here!"
He rose into the air, preparing to find the 'exit' and rush out.
At this moment, no new attacks appeared.
The attacks that had been falling everywhere began to 'hit' their targets.
It was chaotic and indiscriminate.
They struck everywhere—wastelands, small hills, ravines, plains, graves, tombstones, void, runes...
It was a chaotic, relentless bombardment, dense and disorderly. Almost instantly, the miniature world was filled with dust and smoke. If visible to the naked eye, one would have thought a super dust storm had just swept through.
The graves, however, remained unscathed.
The tombstones were undamaged.
Even the shining runes showed no change.
These attacks were truly too weak.
They couldn't even cause an itch.
They were only good for scaring people.
"Lower World, weakling."
Tsk, Zhou Qi sneered disdainfully.
He continued searching for the exit.
Despite his appearance as a four-year-old child, his strength was formidable, and he was quite perceptive. He quickly found some clues and was carefully pondering how to escape.
However, he completely failed to notice that in the area where the dust and smoke were rising, a seemingly insignificant grave was trembling slightly.
The dirt on the grave mound moved up and down, as if breathing.
Then...
A hand suddenly emerged!
Swish!
The hand was smooth and tender, untouched by dust.
It didn't look like the hand of a corpse buried for countless years but rather like someone who had taken a nap in the mound and had just woken up.
And it was utterly silent!
Even a True Immortal's divine sense could not detect its presence.
It was like a ghost!
After the hand emerged, it paused for a moment.
Then, a second hand appeared.
Next, a person slowly sat up, his upper body emerging from the grave mound.
This was an extremely ordinary-looking young man.
His face was blank, as if he had no thoughts at all.
He looked left and right, his confusion deepening.
Fortunately, his instincts told him that these actions were off, and this place was even more off.
Struggling, he got up and walked out of the grave...
"Where am I?!"
His mind was a blank slate, with no memory.
Everything before him was completely unfamiliar.
His thoughts...
Well, his thoughts were a mess.
The "Three-Step Reflex" naturally came to mind.
Who am I?
Where am I?
What should I do?
He looked around in confusion.
Suddenly...
A child appeared in front of him, staring at him with a strange gaze that startled him! Especially because the child was carrying a strange box taller than himself, which made his scalp tingle.
Combined with the eerie, sinister, and ominous feeling of the place, the young man felt even more frightened.
However...
He noticed that while he was frightened, the child in front of him also had a look of terror, as if he had seen a ghost.
"Who are you?!"
They both spoke in unison.
The young man paused for a moment, then said softly, "Right? Who am I?"
The child, Zhou Qi, stared wide-eyed: "???!"
Damn, who are you?
You're asking me who you are, right???
"Don't play games with me! Otherwise, This Venerable will show no mercy!"
Zhou Qi growled lowly.
At the same time, he used his divine sense and eyes to carefully examine, trying to discern something.
But no matter how he looked, he couldn't figure out anything.
At this moment, the young man no longer seemed like a 'ghost.'
Or rather, after leaving the grave, he was no longer undetectable by divine sense.
Under the dual scrutiny of divine sense and eyes, he still couldn't discern anything unusual.
No matter how he looked, the young man was just an ordinary, mundane individual.
And a mortal!
There was not a trace of energy fluctuation within him, and his entire being, from head to toe, from his eyes to his expression, exuded a clear and simple foolishness.
"..."
"Boy, who are you really!"
Although Zhou Qi believed his divine sense and eyes wouldn't deceive him, he still felt something was off.
A mortal?!
A mortal would be in this place?
What's going on?
But he truly couldn't detect anything wrong, so he could only try to force the answer.
"Speak!"
"If you don't tell the truth and dare to lie... just see if the sword in This Venerable's hand is sharp enough!"
The young man scratched his head, bitterly saying, "But I really don't know who I am. I also want to ask you who I am and why I'm here."
"Can you tell me?"
"Also, forgive me for being blunt."
The young man said softly, "You don't have a sword in your hand, do you?"
Zhou Qi: "???!"
What the hell?!
I'm the one interrogating you, and you're talking nonsense with me, and then saying I don't have a sword?
Do I not know if I have a sword in my hand? Do I need you to tell me?
His brow furrowed.
Hum~
Clang clang clang clang clang...
The sword case on his back began to vibrate.
The clanging sounds of the swords inside echoed continuously.
Suddenly, a sword flew out of the closed sword case and landed in his hand.
It was a great sword.
Door-sized.
Held by a four-year-old child, it looked extremely out of place.
