Countless whip shadows were easily blocked by everyone, but after entering the attack range of the Bodhi tree, everyone slowed down and tested the number of whip shadows coming from the Bodhi tree. The situation of each practitioner was different, and the number of whip shadows that could be blocked was also different.
Buzz~Buzz~
As they continued to get closer, powerful auras burst out.
"Are you planning on trying it so soon?"
Yang Qi moved the sword in his hand, blocking the two attacking whip shadows. Feeling several powerful auras erupting all around him, he couldn't help but raise his brows.
There were only two whip shadows attacking, but some practitioners were already using their secret methods to try to fight for the Bodhi seeds. This was a bit too fast. You have to know that even Wang Yu had to resist five whip shadows before using his secret method to fight for the Bodhi seeds. Even so, he was attacked by nine whip shadows.
According to Yang Qi's estimation, even practitioners who are good at speed have to be within the range of four whip shadows to have a chance to fight for the Bodhi seeds. Even so, they dare not guarantee that they will not be attacked by the whip shadows. If they use the secret method within the range of two whip shadows, the possibility of success is almost zero.
"Two whip shadows are already the limit for many practitioners. If they want to resist three whip shadows, they will probably find it very difficult. They can only try it here." Zhang Huan said bitterly.
These practitioners knew this truth. The chances of success in using secret methods to snatch the Bodhi seeds here were extremely small, but they had no choice. If they continued to go deeper, the number of whip shadows would increase, and they would have difficulty resisting them. How could they rely on speed to fight for the Bodhi seeds
After hearing what Zhang Huan said, Yang Qi also understood. To put it bluntly, this was the helplessness of not having enough strength!
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
At this moment, several practitioners who had already performed secret techniques entered the range of the three whip shadows. After going a little deeper, these figures suddenly exploded and flew towards the Enlightenment Tree at a high speed.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
Purple whip shadows twisted and whipped fiercely at the practitioners flying past. The closest of these figures was thirty or forty feet away from the enlightenment tree.
“It’s too late!”
Seeing this scene, Yang Qi sighed in his heart. Although the speed of these practitioners bursting out with all their strength was not slow, the attack speed of the purple whip shadow was even faster. They couldn't even get close, let alone snatch the Bodhi seeds.
"Stop it for me!"
Each of these practitioners was facing five or six whip shadows. No one dared to resist head-on and could only fight back with all their might.
"Bang~Bang~"
The purple whip shadow fell, and a series of low muffled sounds exploded. In the air, figures were whipped out one after another. The bright red blood splattered everywhere, and several people spurted out blood. Every practitioner was seriously injured. The wound on one practitioner went straight through his body. Fortunately, it was not a vital part, otherwise he would have lost his life.
“Failed!”
Looking at the practitioners who were blown away and seriously injured, the seven-star Martial Lords on the periphery sighed in their hearts. These eight-star Martial Lord practitioners were unable to resist even with their secret techniques, and they didn't even have a chance to fight for the Bodhi seeds.
“It’s too difficult!”
“Sure enough, a treasure of enlightenment comparable to that of a pseudo-Tao soldier is not so easy to obtain.”
The practitioners were filled with emotion. Even if it was a secret realm left behind by the Martial Emperor, he could easily take out treasures of the pseudo-Taoist level. However, how could the other party give such treasures casually? Without sufficient strength, it would be impossible to obtain it.
"Brother Yang, we'll go first." At this moment, Yang Qi heard the voices of Chu Hong and others. Chu Hong and others had already used their secret methods. With their strength, it was a bit difficult to resist three whip shadows. If they didn't use their secret methods, they would be whipped away directly if they didn't use their secret methods.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
The next moment, dozens of figures flashed out, and Chu Hong, an eight-star martial master at this level, was undoubtedly the most numerous.
"Will it work?"
Looking at the dozens of figures flying out, Yang Qi's gaze couldn't help but focus, and he felt a little expectant. The strength of these practitioners flying out was stronger than those before.
"Look, someone is less than 20 feet away from the Enlightenment Tree."
"What a fast speed. It's obvious that he has opened up a distance between himself and other practitioners."
"Will he succeed?"
Among the dozens of figures that flew out, one of them clearly left the others behind. This time, the fight for the Bodhi seeds depended on speed. The faster the speed, the greater the chance of getting the Bodhi seeds.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
However, at this moment, the whip shadows in the sky had already attacked, and the practitioner who was rushing in the front was attacked by seven whip shadows!
“It’s too late!”
Seeing this scene, Wang Yu shook his head. Even with his strength, he might not be able to resist the seven whip shadows easily. This was why he chose to perform the secret technique within the range of five whip shadows.
The cultivator who was rushing in the front was only at the early stage of the Eight-Star Martial Lord. It was almost impossible for him to withstand the seven whip shadows and continue to advance.
"No!"
The practitioner who was at the front roared in dissatisfaction. If he was given a little more time, even a moment, he would be able to get closer to the Bodhi tree and then he would have a chance to get the Bodhi seeds! But now, he was still some distance away from the Enlightenment Tree and could not grab the Bodhi seeds at all!
Bang! Bang!
The whip shadows fell from the sky, and suddenly there was a low muffled sound. Dozens of figures were whipped away. Every practitioner was seriously injured. The practitioner who was rushing in the front was so seriously injured that he fainted.
Fortunately, the practitioners in his team rushed forward to catch him, but judging from his appearance, even with life-saving pills, it would be difficult for him to recover within three to five days.
"Fortunately, Brother Chu and the others' injuries are not serious." Looking at Chu Hong and the others who were blown away, Yang Qi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Chu Hong and the others were mostly attacked by six whip shadows, so their injuries were not too serious.
“Are there only about twenty people left?” Yang Qi glanced around and found that there were only about twenty practitioners left at this time, mainly those who had persisted the longest when they acted together before, and there were also several eight-star martial masters from the Shenwu Continent.
"Eh~"
Wang Yu had been staring at the practitioners flying towards the Enlightenment Tree. At this moment, he also discovered Yang Qi's presence. He exclaimed softly, and said in disbelief, "There is actually a Seven-Star Martial Master who has persisted until now?"
The remaining practitioners now are basically in the middle stage of Eight-Star Martial Honor, and there are very few practitioners in the early stage of Eight-Star Martial Honor. However, there is a practitioner in the peak stage of Seven-Star Martial Honor who is still resisting, which also surprised Wang Yu.
"It's interesting that there are such characters." Wang Yu chuckled and muttered to himself.
At the same time, the remaining practitioners also entered the attack range of the five whip shadows. Even the practitioners in the middle stage of the eight-star martial arts master had to fight back desperately. (To be continued)
