Chapter 69

The next second, Su Shier's pupils suddenly constricted.

Only to see dozens of massive fireballs coming from all directions.

These fireballs were incredibly fast, appearing without any warning, giving him no chance to react.

"Damn!"

Su Shier inwardly cursed, without hesitation, he summoned the wind, forming a whirlwind that carried him upward, soaring into the air.

"Boom!"

The next second, a loud explosion.

A shocking spiritual energy storm swept through.

Su Shier, in the air, looked down and immediately felt his scalp tingle and his eyelids flutter.

If such an attack hit him, he would surely die!

"Who is it, to ambush me in this place?!"

"Fortunately, I was cautious enough, or I wouldn't even know how I died!"

Thoughts raced through his mind, and Su Shier dared not waste a moment. As soon as he dodged the attack, his figure drifted away.

Before he even landed, he stepped on the trees in the forest and fled in the direction away from Yun Ge Sect.

He knew very well that so many attacks from all directions could not possibly be the work of one person.

No matter who they were, the best strategy now was to run away!

And if they set up an ambush here, ordinary disciples would naturally think of seeking help from the sect when in danger.

But since these people were determined to kill him, they might have arranged for others to follow.

The best strategy was to stay far away from the sect!

As Su Shier fled, more than ten figures emerged from the forest.

A square-faced blue-robed cultivator, looking surprised, said, "What? Wasn't this kid just a third-level Qi Condensation novice? How is he a seventh-level Qi Condensation cultivator?!"

"No wonder Brother Ye insisted we all come. It seems he knew this guy wasn't simple from the start!" The square-faced blue-robed cultivator muttered, gazing at Su Shier's retreating figure without rushing to chase him.

Beside him, a round-faced fat cultivator pursed his lips and said, "Hmph! This kid has been doing all sorts of tasks for half a year. Many of these tasks are clearly impossible for a third-level Qi Condensation cultivator to complete."

"Anyone would know there's something fishy! Lu Tao, you're too slow, aren't you?!"

"Fatso, are you looking for trouble?!" The square-faced cultivator glared, shouting irritably.

"Never mind, I don't have time to bicker with you!" The round-faced fat cultivator rolled his eyes, shrugged, and said, "This kid must be a rabbit, to run so fast?!"

"Tch, can he really escape? Brother Ye's strategy is divine; he already has Zhu Wenqi and others waiting for him far from the sect!" The square-faced blue-robed cultivator sneered, his eyes gleaming with confidence.

"Brother Ye's cunning is indeed formidable, worthy of being the peak master's disciple."

"But, are you sure you won't hurry to chase him? If you delay Brother Ye's plans, you won't have a good outcome!" The round-faced fat cultivator narrowed his eyes and said calmly.

The square-faced blue-robed cultivator then said, "You're right, let's not waste time. Let's catch up quickly, in case the situation changes!"

With that, the two walked side by side, leading their group to chase after Su Shier.

Su Shier, of course, was unaware of what was happening behind him.

Faced with this sudden ambush, he dared not be careless, and in one breath, he expended nearly half of his true essence, leaping several hundred feet away.

He didn't dare to exhaust all his true essence in one go, so he quickly landed and used the Shadowless Step to move.

However, just as he landed,

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..."

From the forest, dozens of ice spikes shot toward him.

"Damn! I've encountered an opponent!"

Su Shier's heart jolted, immediately realizing that his caution had still fallen into the enemy's trap.

Without thinking, he threw a defensive talisman and simultaneously activated the Ice Shield in front of him.

Earth walls, stone walls, and ice walls condensed in front of him, but were quickly shattered.

However, this round of attacks was clearly not as strong as before.

The ice spikes met the Ice Shield and were neutralized in a burst of spiritual energy.

Then, a strange fragrance wafted over, and thirteen sixth- and seventh-level Qi Condensation disciples quickly surrounded Su Shier.

"It's him?!"

Su Shier's pupils constricted, immediately looking at the person in front of him.

The person wore a red robe with mystic patterns on the sleeves, and had long, narrow phoenix eyes, with thin, cold, and defiant lips.

He exuded an aura of pride, like a drawn sword.

None other than Ye Liangchuan, the inner sect genius of Tianhua Peak.

"Ye Liangchuan, what do you mean by this?" Su Shier stared at him and immediately asked.

Ye Liangchuan had a cold expression, and with a dull hum, he said, "What do I mean? You stole something from our Tianhua Peak, and you're still asking what I mean?"

Beside him, a man who was eight feet tall, with a handsome face and clear features, coldly snorted and glared at Su Shier, saying, "Kid, hand over all the resources you have. Out of respect for our sect, we might spare your life. Otherwise...

...you will die today!"

This man, though very handsome, wore a plaid robe, had red lips, and held his fingers in a delicate pose, looking extremely eerie and charming.

The intense fragrance was emanating from him!

Su Shier's brows slightly furrowed, his gaze sweeping over this man, and he became highly alert.

Among these people, besides Ye Liangchuan, this man gave him a dangerous feeling, like a venomous scorpion.

However, he ignored this man and continued to stare at Ye Liangchuan.

"Stole from your Tianhua Peak? The new disciple trial is based on skill and fortune! Tianhua Peak is the largest peak in Yun Ge Sect, so... can't you take a loss?" Su Shier sneered, retorting without hesitation.

As he spoke, his eyes rapidly darted around, looking for an opportunity to escape.

He wouldn't believe their lies; even if he handed over the resources, with so many people, they wouldn't let him go!

"Can't take a loss? You're quite a smooth talker, more cunning than the genius Han Yu from Luofu Peak, who knows how to hide his strength and stay low!"

"But... this is a world where the strong prey on the weak. No matter how much you talk, it won't change your fate today!"

"Since you insist on courting death, I can only fulfill your wish."

Ye Liangchuan had a cold expression, looking down at Su Shier with a condescending gaze.

With a wave of his hand, a fiery red longsword appeared in his hand.

The sword glowed with a golden light, its magical light brilliant, and it was clearly a very high-quality supreme magical weapon.

With the sword in hand, the blade hummed incessantly.

In the air, an invisible sword intent was released, enveloping Su Shier in a vast, overwhelming aura.
