CHAPTER 902: CHAPTER 899: BORROW A KNIFE TO KILL SOMEONE

Xu Wendong and the others instinctively turned their heads to look, only to find no one was behind them.

When they turned back around.

Yun Feiyang and the eight Heavenly Prides from Jizhou had already vanished from sight.

"Is this what is called a Heavenly Pride?" Xu Wendong was full of shock, clearly not expecting Yun Feiyang and the others to use such a method to escape.

Moreover, the speed at which they escaped was incredibly fast.

So fast that even he didn’t know what happened.

Unable to deny it, Meng Tao shrugged, "What does dignity matter in the face of death?"

Xu Wendong: "Makes sense!" With that, he opened Yun Feiyang’s storage bag.

Inside, there were not only Qi Replenishing Pills he had refined, but also some clothes and food.

As well as some artifact refining ores, although they were quite ordinary.

"Let’s move on and continue searching for tokens!" Xu Wendong put away the useful items, casually discarding the worthless ones aside.

Although everyone knew that finding the tokens was extremely difficult, not a single one of them was discouraged, because at this moment, the only thing they could do was give it their all.

------

Several miles away.

Yun Feiyang, with a sallow complexion, emerged from the ground out of thin air with the others, then fell flat on the ground, greedily breathing in the air.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Yun, for saving our lives!"

Everyone thanked Yun Feiyang simultaneously, knowing that without his use of the Earth Escape Skill, they wouldn’t have been able to escape Xu Wendong’s gravity field.

"We all came from Jizhou, it’s only natural to live and die together!" Yun Feiyang spoke with increasing indignation, "It’s just that Xu Wendong is too bullying, if I don’t get rid of him, it won’t appease my anger!"

He had planned [to sell] to recover his cultivation level with Qi Replenishing Pills before settling the score with Xu Wendong.

But no one had expected.

Xu Wendong to be so ruthless, not giving them a chance to use the Qi Replenishing Pills at all.

"Senior Brother Yun, there’s something off about Xu Wendong, in my opinion, his strength is definitely not just at the Foundation Establishment Stage." Zhao Han said with a serious expression.

Yun Feiyang jumped with rage, "If he really is at the Foundation Establishment Cultivation Level, I’ll self-destruct my Golden Core right now!"

As a Heavenly Pride of the younger generation in Jizhou.

He had never been defeated by his peers.

Since meeting Xu Wendong, he had suffered two great losses in a row, and this time even resorted to using the Earth Escape Skill, which was a huge disgrace already.

If Xu Wendong really had a Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer cultivation level, he wouldn’t hesitate for a second to self-destruct his Golden Core.

"Senior Brother Yun, please don’t be so angry, I don’t deny that Xu Wendong is very strong," Zhao Han said, "But is your strength weak?"

"Yes, I know we’ve fallen at his hands twice, but these two defeats aren’t proof that we’re inferior to him."

"Last time, we lost at the inn because we were careless, and didn’t see him as a master."

"And this time was because we were physically weak."

"I believe strongly that in your prime, you could wipe out Xu Wendong with a mere flick of a finger."

The others also nodded vigorously.

They weren’t intentionally flattering Yun Feiyang.

Instead, among the younger disciples in Jizhou, Yun Feiyang was an invincible presence.

"Do you all really think so?" Yun Feiyang felt somewhat guilty for no reason, although his junior brother gave a reasonable explanation, he had witnessed Xu Wendong’s Water Droplet Sword Technique, which was also very strong.

Even at his peak, he wasn’t necessarily confident of defeating the other party.

However.

Seeing the determined eyes of the eight, Yun Feiyang also felt capable again.

Mainly because he had no choice but to be capable.

These guys had already put him on a pedestal, if he admitted he was inferior to Xu Wendong, it would be like slapping his own face.

He weakly sat up and said, "Actually, Xu Wendong’s strength is strong, if I fought him, it would be a close match at forty-sixty."

"But why should we fight him?"

"A true strategist can use everything in the world as their chess pieces, such an existence can truly be called invincible."

A young man’s eyes lit up and he asked eagerly, "Does Senior Brother Yun have a plan to deal with Xu Wendong?"

Yun Feiyang revealed a sly smile, "What do you think would happen if other forces knew that Qingzhou obtained a promotion token?"

Zhao Han immediately said, "They would definitely kill to seize the token!"

Speaking of which.

He shivered, "I understand, Senior Brother Yun intends to borrow a knife to kill someone?"

Yun Feiyang laughed heartily, "Don’t you think this is interesting?"

Zhao Han was full of admiration, "Senior Brother Yun is not only the strongest among the younger generation in Jizhou, but also the strongest strategist among the younger generation in the Nine Provinces!"

"I’m convinced, I am utterly convinced!"

Yun Feiyang almost burst into tears.

I’m just borrowing a knife to kill someone.

Do you really have to brand me as the strongest strategist among the younger generation in the Nine Provinces?

Are you trying to flatter me to death?

------

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, another five days and nights passed.

During these five days and nights, Xu Wendong and the others endured alternating severe cold and scorching heat repeatedly, even though they carried a large number of Qi Replenishing Pills and spirit stones, they were still struggling.

Each person’s face looked increasingly haggard.

Even though they were Golden Core Period Experts, adapting to such extremely abnormal weather was challenging.

It would be worth it if they could find a token.

Unfortunately.

They hadn’t even seen the shadow of a token.

"What kind of situation is this? We’ve practically dug three feet into the ground, yet still haven’t found a token. I’m starting to doubt whether there are tokens here at all. Or maybe the six tokens were found by other forces?" Lu Chenfeng was losing his patience.

Xu Wendong couldn’t help but say, "Do you think it’s possible that other forces haven’t found the tokens either?"

"We can’t rule out that possibility, but I feel it’s not very likely." Zhongli said, "The reason we haven’t found them might be due to our bad luck."

Xu Wendong pouted, "Senior Sister Zhong, are you doubting my fortune?"

Zhongli flashed a playful smile, "I’m not doubting your fortune, it’s just that we haven’t found them, doesn’t mean others haven’t either!"

Meng Hao curiously asked, "Junior Brother Xu, what do you think?"

Xu Wendong looked up at the dark red sky, "I have a premonition that someone must be controlling the climate changes here, and the reason for doing so is to temper our minds and bodies."

"As for when those six tokens will appear, maybe it will become clear when the competition is nearly over."

He suspected someone was secretly manipulating and controlling the situation here.

If that were true.

The consequences would be unimaginable.

Even though his fortune was remarkable, he still might not be able to obtain the qualification to advance.

Just then.

A group of figures suddenly appeared in the distance, riding their swords, appearing in mid-air, looking down at everyone.

The leader had deep blue eyes, wearing a daoist robe with a Yin-Yang Diagram, exuding a powerful aura.

Seeing this person, everyone’s heart trembled fiercely; this was an expert from Xuzhou’s Yin Yang Sect.

The young leader thundered, "Xu Wendong, hand over the token and you’ll be spared!"

Xu Wendong frowned, "What token?"
