Li Zhi, after hearing Su Xi’s words and giving it some thought, quickly made up his mind.
Indeed, everyone was waiting for the final move. If he acted first, it would surely catch everyone off guard.
By achieving victory through surprise, no one would know what he was up to.
Once he obtained the others’ points and kept them hidden, he could wait until the deadline and exit, surely securing a good result.
With everything figured out, Li Zhi looked at Su Xi, determination gleaming in his eyes. “Do you know where they are?”
This secret realm was newly developed, and it was impossible to get a map so easily in such a short time. Moreover, he wasn't favored, so it was even less likely he would receive one.
Although Su Xi’s plan was excellent, it required finding the people first.
If they couldn't find them, their remaining plans would be impossible to execute, becoming mere discussions on paper.
Su Xi naturally knew the crucial point lay with her. Not showing any nervousness, she said, “You’re right, I do have a way to find out their whereabouts.”
With that, Su Xi took out a map she had just drawn using her computer.
She had already scanned the entire area with her supercomputer as soon as she entered.
She had also long since discovered the locations of everyone.
Su Xi raised her hand and opened the virtual map displayed before them. Countless small red dots appeared, blinking and moving in real-time.
Seeing these red dots, Li Zhi’s face broke into a satisfied smile.
Although he didn't understand the map, he knew these red dots represented the participants in this competition. If they could plunder all of them, their points would surely increase.
“Let’s go surround these stragglers and get points as quickly as possible,” Li Zhi, having made his preparations, quickly made arrangements.
There were ten people in their group, divided into two teams, planning to use their numbers to surround and capture individuals.
Su Xi led the group with weaker members to continue hunting prey, while Li Zhi led his team to hunt and intercept others.
With Lin Qing’s participation, taking action was not a problem.
After all, the strongest participants in the secret realm were only at the Nascent Soul stage, and while Lin Qing was also at the Nascent Soul stage, she possessed the strength to defeat a Void Refining stage cultivator.
As long as they were careful, this plan carried no risk at all.
Therefore, with Lin Qing leading the way for surprise attacks, their points could only climb higher.
Su Xi had no objections to Li Zhi’s arrangements and led her team to hunt low-level prey. This task was not difficult, but it was relatively safe.
The other three people saw that the surrounding extraneous individuals had left and that there were no other people to interfere nearby. They then walked up to Su Xi and blocked her path.
“Wait, we have something to tell you.”
“What do you want?” Su Xi stopped her actions and looked at the approaching group.
The leaders among them looked at Su Xi and smiled, “You truly have a poor memory. Unfortunately, the old ancestor of the Yu family hasn't forgotten you. Today, we will mete out justice.”
Upon hearing their words, Su Xi instantly realized these were the people sent to deal with her.
Therefore, she no longer had any superfluous worries and even smiled.
Although these people had higher cultivation levels than her on the surface, when it came to actual combat, there was still a gap in their ability to contend with her.
These people exposing themselves so early was simply courting death.
She found it quite baffling. Hadn’t these people done any investigation before making their move?
Since the few of them saw an opportunity, they naturally wouldn't back down so easily and decisively began to act, intending to finish things quickly.
Otherwise, if the others reacted, their actions would become inconvenient.
The three men surrounded Ouyang Chu Ge and Su Xi and then didn't hesitate to attack, preparing to kill them to claim the reward.
After all, the old ancestor of the Yu family had promised a great reward to anyone who could bring them their heads.
Thus, one of them charged towards Su Xi, while the others charged towards Ouyang Chu Ge, intending to strike simultaneously.
Seeing two people charging towards him, two black lines appeared on Ouyang Chu Ge’s forehead.
These two black lines remained on his forehead, becoming increasingly heavy.
What the hell was this supposed to mean?
His cultivation was clearly weaker than Su Xi’s, so why were two people attacking him?
Was there really a need for this?
Or did he just look like someone who deserved a beating?
Seeing the behavior of these people, Su Xi’s expression also became peculiar, unsure of what these people intended to do.
However, since they looked down on her so much, it actually made things easier for her.
No one liked trouble, and it was certainly good to have things easier.
Su Xi quickly engaged the person before her, and the two began to fight incessantly.
Su Xi drew her Meteor God Sword and began to slash relentlessly at the person before her.
The series of moves, though appearing very flashy and flamboyant, lacked any real power. Eventually, under the opponent’s attacks, Su Xi began to retreat.
“I can’t take it anymore, I’m going to escape!” Su Xi shouted and ran towards a certain direction.
???
Su Xi's actions instantly caused the surrounding people’s expressions to turn extremely unpleasant.
They had absolutely not expected Su Xi to do something so shameless. The opponent who was originally fighting Su Xi, after showing a hint of confusion, quickly pursued her.
Since Su Xi couldn’t defeat him, he certainly couldn’t let her go easily.
Ouyang Chu Ge, seeing Su Xi’s actions, rolled his eyes at her.
Based on his years of understanding Su Xi, he knew Su Xi wasn't actually running away but had another objective in mind.
Even though he was facing two opponents, Ouyang Chu Ge remained unperturbed.
He took out a dagger, and then his body instantly became ethereal, disappearing from in front of these people out of thin air.
Seeing Ouyang Chu Ge disappear, the two looked at each other.
They had no idea where Ouyang Chu Ge had gone, nor what technique he was using to make them unable to find him.
“Come out.” The two shouted angrily, their auras erupting and spreading outwards.
The pressure of the Nascent Soul stage had the power to break through void, so they intended to use their Nascent Soul stage pressure to force Ouyang Chu Ge out, leaving him nowhere to hide.
However, despite their continuous use of Nascent Soul stage pressure, it had no effect.
Ouyang Chu Ge had completely vanished, as if he had never existed.
“Big Brother, did that person run away?” With no effect, perhaps the person was gone.
Therefore, it was possible he had escaped because he couldn’t defeat them.
“Let’s go, shall we chase?”
The two quickly reached a consensus, both believing that Ouyang Chu Ge had escaped and intending to find him.
However, before they could even chase out, they suddenly realized the person beside them had disappeared.
“Second Brother?” A person with a face that resembled stale bread looked around confused, searching for his companion.
He didn’t know why his companion had vanished just like that.
But he scanned everything around him and found no trace of his partner.
Then, a strong scent of blood quickly wafted through the air, making him feel enveloped in terror.
He wasn’t afraid of death, but he was terrified of someone he couldn’t even see.
He had no idea what was happening, nor when the other party would appear.
Although only a short time had passed, to him it felt like a century, and his fear grew with each passing moment.
“Come out, let’s fight one-on-one. Hiding in the darkness, what kind of hero are you? If you dare to come out, I’ll beat you until you shit yourself.” The stale bread-faced man roared into the surroundings, seeking support.
But no matter how unpleasant his curses were, there was no response, only silence all around.
However, despite the lack of response, he knew Ouyang Chu Ge was definitely by his side, watching him intently and waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Just as his heart was in his mouth, he suddenly heard footsteps from a distance.
Su Xi, who had left first, unexpectedly appeared before him, looking at the stale bread-faced man with a half-smile, and said somewhat helplessly, “You’re not good enough. You still haven’t finished the fight this late.”
Hearing Su Xi’s voice, the stale bread-faced man instantly tensed up.
But before he could prepare to attack Su Xi, he suddenly felt himself engulfed in darkness.
Immediately, he felt a sharp pain in his neck and collapsed to the ground without a sound.
Su Xi, seeing this scene, shook her head helplessly.
With such combat power, they actually wanted to avenge others and bring their heads to claim a bounty.
This wasn’t revenge; it was like offering themselves as food, helping others gain experience.
After eliminating the enemy, Ouyang Chu Ge’s figure reappeared.
Ouyang Chu Ge looked at Su Xi without ceremony and directly asked, “What do you want to do?”
He knew that since Su Xi had made such a request, she must have already made arrangements.
Therefore, all he needed to do now was to follow her instructions.
Su Xi smiled at Ouyang Chu Ge. “The old ancestor of the Yu family has found many people to deal with us this time. Since that’s the case, we should give them a surprise.”
In any case, their role was to escalate the situation, so the rest was not within their scope of concern.
“It’s good that we get to kill people again.” Ouyang Chu Ge licked his lips, a look of anticipation on his face.
