Chapter 33

"Bad news!" As a cold light appeared, Su Shier realized something was wrong, his heart trembling violently, feeling as if thorns were piercing his back.

The Turtle Pattern Shield floated in front of him, but there was no time to react. In this critical moment, he could only hastily activate the Blood Light Shield.

"Crack!"

The sword light fell, and the Blood Light Shield shattered instantly. This sword struck Su Shier's back fiercely.

A bloody wound appeared.

Feeling the pain in his back, Su Shier fell to the ground with a thud.

Before he hit the ground, Zhao Yu took the opportunity to thrust another sword.

In this critical moment, Su Shier did a somersault, and the White Mist Sword appeared in his hand, deflecting Zhao Yu's attack.

He was confident he could withstand the attack of a Fifth Stage Qi Cultivator.

"Clang!"

After the two swords clashed, Su Shier's face changed again.

Although he blocked the sword, the immense force caused his tiger's mouth to split open.

In front of him, three fireballs the size of heads had already formed, emitting a terrifying heat.

"Hmph! You are merely a Fourth Stage Qi Cultivator, yet you dare to fight me? You will surely die today!" Zhao Yu sneered, his eyes flashing with intense heat.

At the same time, not far away, Zhao Yan was also charging with his spear.

Faced with the two of them attacking from both sides, Su Shier was in deep distress.

These guys were indeed tough to deal with; a small mistake had put him in such a dangerous situation.

"Let's go all out!"

His eyes turned cold, and Su Shier threw a Soul Severing Nail.

"Dark weapon? Boy, you are too naive to think this will work on me!"

Zhao Yu sneered, blocking the Soul Severing Nail with his sword, and gave Su Shier a mocking look.

But the next second, he felt a sting on the back of his head.

His smile froze, and his expression turned to shock.

It turned out that another Soul Severing Nail, controlled by Su Shier's object manipulation technique, had pierced through the back of his head.

The Soul Severing Nail was clearly poisoned, causing instant death upon contact.

Shocked

After that, Zhao Yu's eyes widened, filled with regret as he stared at Su Shier, and his body swayed before collapsing to the ground.

Almost simultaneously, a long spear came, and Zhao Yan thrust it directly at Su Shier's back.

But this time, Su Shier was prepared, and the Turtle Pattern Shield was already in place behind him.

"Bang!"

A dull sound, the Turtle Pattern Shield trembled violently, and under the force of the spear, it struck Su Shier's back hard.

Su Shier grunted, feeling the impact throughout his body.

But he gritted his teeth and, using the immense force, fully activated the Phantom Step, moving swiftly to escape.

Being able to take down a Fifth Stage Qi Cultivator was already a matter of life and death for him. As for the Sixth Stage Qi Cultivator Zhao Yan, he had never intended to fight him from the beginning.

"Brother Yu! Boy, if I don't kill you today, I, Zhao Yan, will not be a man!"

Glancing at Zhao Yu's corpse, Zhao Yan was filled with rage, his eyes turning red with anger.

Without hesitation, he poured his true essence and pursued Su Shier.

The two, one chasing and one fleeing, moved at incredible speeds, like cheetahs.

Although Su Shier's cultivation was inferior to his opponent, he occasionally threw attack talismans, making Zhao Yan suffer greatly.

However, he was injured, and despite swallowing three Small Recovery Pills early on, he could still feel his strength waning.

"No, I must find a way to shake him off quickly, or he will eventually catch up."

Su Shier was deeply troubled when he suddenly saw a familiar figure as he rushed out of the boulder forest.

The person was none other than the female cultivator surnamed Chu, who had been chasing him.

"Boy, I've been waiting for you!"

Seeing Su Shier, the female cultivator surnamed Chu smiled evilly and threw three Soul Severing Nails.

Su Shier's pupils contracted, and he immediately had an idea.

He suddenly stopped, and a gust of wind lifted him up.

The three Soul Severing Nails passed under his feet, heading straight for Zhao Yan, who had just emerged from the boulder forest.

"Dark weapon? You're asking for death!" Zhao Yan, holding his spear, swept it to deflect the three Soul Severing Nails.

Seeing the additional figure, his expression changed slightly. He stared at the woman, trying to figure out if her attack was aimed at him or something else!

Before he could understand what was happening, Su Shier immediately shouted from the air.

"Senior Sister Chu, you shouldn't have come at this time. This guy is too strong to handle!"

"You..." The female cultivator surnamed Chu's eyes scanned the scene, and she already guessed something, her face darkening as she was about to expose the truth.

But before she could speak, Su Shier threw a palm-sized sheepskin map and continued shouting: "Senior Sister Chu, the location of the rare treasure and the spirit plant garden is on this map. Take the items and leave quickly; I will hold him off."

"Once you become stronger, remember to avenge me."

Seeing the flying sheepskin map, the female cultivator surnamed Chu knew it was a trap and her first reaction was to destroy it. But hearing the words "spirit plant garden," her expression changed instantly, and she quickly grabbed the map.

At the same time, Su Shier grinned and shot the remaining two Soul Severing Nails at Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan instinctively raised his spear to block, but his doubts were already half dispelled when he saw the five Soul Severing Nails on the ground.

They were not just similar; they were identical.

He was already half convinced!

Seeing the sheepskin map in the female cultivator surnamed Chu's hand, his pupils contracted, and his eyes gleamed with greed.

He could avenge his brother anytime, but he could not afford to lose this rare treasure.

Almost instantly, he made his decision and thrust his spear at the female cultivator surnamed Chu.

"So you're in league with him, then die!"

"You're crazy! I don't even know him!" The female cultivator surnamed Chu's face was so dark it could almost drip water.

Although she was a Fifth Stage Qi Cultivator, she did not dare to be careless against a Sixth Stage Qi Cultivator's attack.

As she spoke, she threw over a dozen talismans.

The talismans transformed into various attacks in the air, heading straight for Zhao Yan.

"Truly a heartless woman, but today, you both will die!"

Zhao Yan stared at the female cultivator surnamed Chu, having suffered greatly from talisman attacks on this journey.

There were very few disciples in the entire sect who could afford to use so many talisman attacks.

With almost identical attack methods, no matter how much the female cultivator surnamed Chu tried to defend herself, he no longer believed her. Moreover, from their appearance, it was clear they knew each other, whether they had a grudge or not.

"Bad, Senior Sister Chu, hold on, I'll go get help!" Su Shier pretended to be panicked, shouting as he landed on the ground and activated a teleportation talisman.

A yellowish-brown light flashed, and Su Shier disappeared from the spot. Along with him, the five Soul Severing Nails on the ground also vanished.

Faced with Su Shier's departure, Zhao Yan hesitated for a moment but continued his fierce attack.

"You damn brat, don't think you can run!"

The female cultivator surnamed Chu gritted her teeth, hating Su Shier to the core.

She had heard rumors about the spirit plant garden but had never obtained the map. Knowing it was a trap, she still had to jump in.

But letting Su Shier go like this was not something she could accept.

With a cold snort, she threw another batch of attack talismans and leaped into the air, transforming into a streak of light, chasing after Su Shier's teleportation light.

Seeing the teleportation light extinguish and reappear on the ground, her brows furrowed. "This damn brat, how can he have so many teleportation talismans?!"

"Hmph! Think you can run? Can you escape?" Zhao Yan snorted, spear in hand, and with his true essence fully activated, he quickly blocked the attack and hurriedly pursued.

For a moment, the three figures formed a line, one in front, one in the middle, and one at the back.
