"war!"
Facing the fiery red light coming towards him, the leader Qin Ji shouted loudly.
However, with his loud shout, Qin He and his five companions did not rush directly to meet the local practitioners, but retreated slightly. Unfortunately, Qin He did not expect that Yang Qi and his four companions had already noticed that something was wrong with them and had been paying attention to them secretly, so they naturally did not rush out directly at this moment.
Um
Upon realizing this, Qin He's expression changed slightly, but he quickly recovered. He swung the weapon in his hand violently, and launched a series of fierce attacks towards the local practitioners who were coming to kill him.
All this happened in the blink of an eye, and it seemed as if Qin He and his four companions were just stunned for a moment. However, Yang Qi and his four companions knew that Qin He and his four companions clearly wanted to use them to resist the attacking local practitioners. If they had not been prepared, they would have been fooled.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
While Qin He and his five companions were attacking, Yang Qi and his four companions were not idle either, and they attacked the local practitioners one after another. However, this time, Yang Qi and his four companions were already holding back, fearing that they would be plotted against by Qin He and his companions again.
Boom! Boom!
In the blink of an eye, the local practitioners who came to kill them were engaged in a melee with Yang Qi and the other nine. With earth-shaking noises one after another, the terrifying aftermath spread out wildly with the fighting position of the two sides as the center.
"The methods of these local practitioners are indeed a bit weird!"
After a brief fight, Yang Qi's expression froze and his eyes turned to Qin He and his group not far away.
The brief fight just now made Yang Qi realize that these local practitioners had obvious differences in their methods. These local practitioners were all good at the Way of Fire. Moreover, their Way of Fire was different from the Way of Fire that Yang Qi and others were familiar with. It was somewhat similar to the Way of Fire of the Phoenix Clan, which was a method that combined the power of bloodline and the realm of Tao.
They are not like ordinary practitioners who are only at the realm of Tao. This means that their methods are not just martial arts, but also contain the element of bloodline power, which makes the power they unleash in the way of fire even more terrifying.
In addition, the opponent’s weapons are not Taoist weapons at all, but their flesh and blood, or their burning skeletons.
The skeleton was extremely hard, comparable to that of a top-grade Taoist soldier. Even when Yang Qi and his companions attacked with all their strength, they could hardly cause any damage to it. This was the first time that Yang Qi and his companions had seen such a strange cultivator.
In addition to those weird local practitioners, Yang Qi and others also had to guard against Qin He and his five companions. From the beginning of the fight, Qin He and his five companions were obviously holding back. Under such circumstances, Yang Qi and his four companions naturally did not dare to be careless.
Um
Just as Yang Qi was thinking, his face suddenly changed. He saw Qin He's two companions moving towards the battlefield where he was, and two local practitioners were also moving towards them.
"Are you planning to transfer the pressure to me and force Emperor Jiuyan and his three men to rescue me?" Looking at the two peak Martial Emperor practitioners coming towards him, Yang Qi raised his eyebrows and immediately understood the plan of Qin He and his five men.
Yang Qi's cultivation level was the weakest among the crowd. Although Yang Qi had exposed some of his strength and methods during the fight, he still had a lot of reservations, so his overall strength was still the weakest. In this case, Qin He and others chose to transfer the pressure to Yang Qi, forcing the three people of Jiuyan Emperor to rescue Yang Qi. At that time, Yang Qi would inevitably be forced to help Qin He and the other five to attract firepower.
If Qin He and others had previously plotted against Yang Qi and the other three in secret, now they are almost directly plotting against them openly.
However, Yang Qi and his three companions had long known that something was wrong with Qin He and the others. Realizing that Qin He was plotting against him, Yang Qi would naturally not sit still and wait for death. He immediately shifted the battlefield towards the direction of Emperor Jiuyan and his three companions, and directly distanced himself from Qin He and his five companions.
As a result, the originally chaotic battlefield has begun to turn into two clearly divided battlefields, one is the battlefield where Yang Qi and his four companions are, and the other is the battlefield where Qin He and his five companions are.
The two martial emperor peak practitioners tried several times, but they were unable to transfer the battle on their side to Yang Qi's side, and finally had no choice but to retreat. After all, if the two of them directly transferred the battle to the battlefield where Yang Qi and the other four were, they would not be able to withdraw and would not be able to play any role at all.
Qin He looked at the battlefield where Yang Qi and the other four were, and his expression changed. He had vaguely sensed before that Yang Qi and the other four seemed to be on guard against them. After what happened before his eyes, he was completely sure of this.
Seeing this scene, Qin He also understood that if they continued to conceal the truth at this time, they would not be able to gain any advantage. Instead, it would only waste more time because the two teams were not in harmony with each other.
Thinking of this, Qin He took a deep breath, looked at Emperor Jiuyan and said, "Jiuyan, when did you realize something was wrong?"
Hearing Qin He's words, Emperor Jiuyan knew very well that the other party had already seen that they were on guard. At the same time, he also understood that Qin He took the initiative to speak because he probably wanted to talk to them.
"We had already noticed something was wrong on the way. Your direction was too clear." Emperor Jiuyan said calmly.
Is it because of this reason
Qin He was slightly startled, obviously he did not expect that just because his direction was too clear, he would arouse the suspicion of Emperor Jiuyan and others. After all, time was limited, Qin He and his five companions did not want to waste time, and if they went in other directions, they might encounter other local practitioners, so Qin He and his five companions chose to come here directly.
But what people didn't expect was that because their direction was too clear, it aroused the suspicion of Emperor Jiuyan and others. Since Emperor Jiuyan and others had already noticed something was wrong on the way here, they must have been secretly on guard against them. It was ridiculous that they made so many small moves along the way. All of this was probably just a joke in the eyes of Yang Qi and others.
"Since you, Daoist Fellow Jiuyan, have already noticed it, I will no longer hide it." Qin He paused for a moment before continuing, "The reason why we clashed with the local practitioners and came directly here is because there is a precious opportunity ahead."
I see!
After hearing Qin He's words, Yang Qi and the other three immediately understood why Qin He and his four companions came directly in the direction where the local practitioners were stationed, and why those local practitioners were so angry when they saw Qin He and his companions. It was because they had long known that Qin He and his companions came for the opportunity that they were guarding.
These local practitioners are quite powerful, and it is not so easy for Qin He and others to deal with them alone, so they turned to Yang Qi and the other four, hoping to use them to entangle the local practitioners on the periphery, and they would take the opportunity to seize the opportunity.
