CHAPTER 280: CHAPTER 205: A PERFECT AMBUSH

Foolproof Ambush

Surrounded by thirteen Transcendent Cultivators without a Middle-grade Defense Spiritual Artifact, even high-level Qi Cultivation must escape.

And they launched a surprise ambush.

If you’re careless, even a high-level Qi Cultivator will die.

With only Qi Cultivation Third Layer, their strength is limited, even with a Middle-grade Defense Spiritual Artifact, they can’t hold up!

Today is bound to be a big score.

The other Immortal Masters, upon realizing the danger, prepared to activate the Spirit Talismans in their hands.

Suddenly, there was a flash of golden light behind them, and an object appeared, rapidly enlarging.

It was a Golden Bell that enlarged rapidly, directly encompassing from behind, trapping all thirteen within, and falling swiftly.

Ah!

All the Immortal Masters, whose attention was drawn by the target, reacted too late and suddenly panicked.

They instantly understood, the enemy’s ambush was a facade, whether through the prepared Middle-grade Spirit Talisman for protection or the ambush technique, it clearly showed thorough preparation.

Suddenly, they lost the will to fight.

It was only natural.

In an instant, the Spirit Talismans in their hands, just about to be unleashed, turned and blasted at the Golden Bell.

Under continuous bombardment.

The bell continuously fluctuated in size, trembling and retreating, -1hp, -1hp...!

In a short time, the Golden Bell’s twenty points of Life from the Middle-Grade Magical Artifact was mostly depleted.

And it was blasted to rise several meters, exposing the gap below.

Taking the opportunity, the mid-stage Cultivator on a Flying Sword flashed and darted out of the Golden Bell’s range.

Other Immortal Masters were unfortunate, without Flying Swords, unable to seize the opportunity to escape.

And such opportunities are fleeting.

The Golden Bell, having withstood the attack of the Spirit Talismans, rapidly shrank, losing any chance of escape.

Bodies were swiftly constricted, leaving no chance to retrieve a Spirit Talisman again.

However, the body-protecting talismans linked to their Essence Blood activated, barely holding on.

"Ah!"

The freshly escaped mid-stage Cultivator suddenly let out a scream, having been struck by a Spirit Talisman launched by Small Knife.

His form rapidly froze.

This Ice Freeze Technique was not aimed at killing, so he turned into an ice block and fell, not immediately dead.

Sect Cultivator?

Small Knife immediately deduced.

Because Immortal Masters had no future, living idly and enjoying life, they would generally blood refine a body-protecting talisman, which automatically activates in moments of crisis at the thought of the heart.

This approach, however, is not chosen by Sect Cultivators, due to the continuous Essence Blood consumption by the Blood Refining Talisman, which diminishes potential, even if not significantly but is not worth the loss.

Therefore, Small Knife successfully ambushed and prevailed swiftly.

Then, Small Knife’s internal Spiritual Qi quickly depleted, restoring the Golden Bell +1hp, +1hp.

Inside also appeared, one Earth and one Water strand of Spiritual Qi, quickly absorbed and converted by him.

Even so, his whole being didn’t pause, still speeding forward, storing the floating ice block in his Personal Space.

Turning defeat into victory, three figures flew at supersonic speed.

At their maximum speed, but still too late.

Upon arrival, Small Knife finally stored the Golden Bell into his Personal Space.

Once compressed within the Golden Bell, bones break, unable to move, the numerical advantage cannot be exerted.

Seeing Small Knife put away the Golden Bell, the three figures quickly reacted, realizing it’s unfeasible, they turned and fled.

Want to escape?

Small Knife immediately stepped on the Flying Sword to chase at supersonic speed.

Their distance was closing, and these three seemed to be in the Early Stage of Qi Cultivation; under the pursuit of Small Knife, a mid-stage Cultivator, even with Flying Swords, they couldn’t pull away.

And the distance gradually decreased.

Quickly realizing they couldn’t escape, the three suddenly stopped.

However, from their expressions, there was no tension, rather a confidence.

"Another trap? How many this time?" having just profited, Small Knife slowed down, but didn’t abandon caution, instead, fully recovering internal Spiritual Power while being on alert.

Upon seeing, the three released the Concealing Breath Formulas, good heavens, they turned out to be one at Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer and two at Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer, with faces somewhat obscured and unrecognizable.

But it’s obvious they weren’t young, with no hope of advancing further.

As for strength, much greater than expected, if they really intended to flee earlier, the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer Small Knife couldn’t catch up.

"Foolish boy, actually leaving the Water Element Sect, hehe!" the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer cultivator sneered with unconcealable excitement.

"Hand over all Magical Artifacts and Top-Grade Yuan-Breaking Pill, spare your life." the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer elder coldly said.

"Damn! Indeed, they came for interception." Small Knife was a bit excited, he had long anticipated it.

This world’s sects govern through inaction, not recommending disciples to venture out, cultivators are homebodies.

If going out, one’s safety is one’s own responsibility.

As for Small Knife, quite satisfied with these interceptors, he was in urgent need of replacement bodies, the issue being there were only three, bit of a shortfall in numbers.

However, the quality wasn’t bad.

"Just you three?" Small Knife coldly said.

"Haha! Knowing you have a Middle-grade Magical Artifact, rapid Spiritual Power recovery, your previous methods were astonishing, but you’re doomed today." the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer looked proudly, then held a small water-blue chess piece in his hand, gently waved it.

Immediately, mist appeared abundantly around the sky.

Due to the water mist, the surroundings rapidly blurred.

Mist condensed quickly in the sky, forming into eight Water Dragons, each at the peak of the First-Layer of Qi Cultivation.

"First Realm Lower Grade Eight-direction Water Dragon Array, is it enough?" the high-level Qi Cultivation cultivator coldly said.

A very familiar feeling.

This world is severely lacking in arrays, and Magical Treasures are mainly Flying Swords.
