I Just Won't Play by the Book - Chapter 355

355 Rules of the Martial World, Duel (1)
“Yes, the heat source should be underground.”

Gu Qinghuan, who had pressed her hand into the ground, said.

“Amazing…Can you even sense such a subtle difference?”Wu Qingce asked, still in shock.

Wu Qingce had carefully compared the soil in the two areas. There was almost no difference in color, but when he pinched it with his hand, he could feel that the soil here was indeed a little dry.

Gu Qinghuan nodded.” Yes. It’s probably because of the True Essence Heavenly Dipper Technique. My five senses are especially sharp now.””

!!
“Then what should we do next? Dig up the soil and see what’s underneath?”Wu Qingce asked, looking at the ground.

“It’s better not to move around. Senior brother only asked us to observe if there’s any abnormality.”After some thought, Gu Qinghuan stood up and said,””I’ll go and send a letter to Shixiong now and report the situation to him.”

“Okay, you go ahead. We’ll just stay here and guard.”Wu Qingce nodded.

However, despite saying that, there was actually nothing to guard. This kind of phenomenon that was hidden to the extreme was impossible to be discovered by others.

After Gu Qinghuan left, Wu Qingce looked at his two junior brothers and said,””Let’s find a place to hide first. It’s too conspicuous to stand here.”

“Yes.” Luo Wenzhou and Qu Yangze replied at the same time.

However, just as Wu Qingce was looking for a suitable place to hide, he suddenly sensed several powerful auras descending from the sky.

“What’s going on?”

Wu Qingce’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly hid behind the shade of a tree with his two junior brothers. Then, with a loud boom, a figure crashed into the river, splashing water everywhere.
But soon, the blade-wielding figure rushed out of the water and went straight into the air.

“Let’s go! Don’t bother about me!”

Wu Qingce, who was hiding in the shade of a tree, raised an eyebrow and looked at the figure.

“Nine Suns!?”

Wu Qingce hadn’t expected to meet him here. As Yin Jianghong’s eldest son and the second place winner of the Yingjie Tournament, Mu Jiuri’s glorious moments in the past six months were no less than Wu Qingce’s.

If Wu Qingce was the most outstanding disciple among the orthodox disciples, then Mu Jiuri was the most representative disciple among the demonic disciples.

As time passed, the two of them developed a friendship that was both rivals and friends.

“Boom!”

A violent explosion woke Wu Qingce from his shock. He looked up at the sky and saw Mu Jiuri using his signature technique, Thousand Shadows, to force back several blue-clothed men. At the same time, he stood in front of several disciples wearing the uniform of the Demonic Sect.

“Let’s go!”

Mu Jiuri shouted.

Although the Demonic Sect disciples didn’t hesitate and turned around to run, they found that their escape route had been completely blocked

“Pang Gu, go set up the Three Yang Formation and seal the entire canyon.”

“Alright.” A young man holding a long rod responded and flew into the distance.

When Pang Gu flew far away, the blue-robed youth who gave the order just now looked at Mu Jiuri and said with a sinister smile,””None of you can escape today.”

Seeing that they were surrounded, Mu Jiuri held the Desolate Brilliant Sword in front of him and said,””Then we’ll have to see if you have the ability.”At the same time, he whispered to the Demon Sect disciples behind him,””When the fight starts later, find an opportunity to escape. You will only become a burden to me if you stay here.”

The disciples of the Demonic Sect nodded and replied in a low voice,””Got it. Big Brother Nine, be careful.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t die.”

After saying that, Mu Jiuri waved his Desolate Brilliant Sword at the blue-robed youth in front of him.

“Myriad Shadow!”

Compared to the heroes gathering, Mu Jiuri’s myriad shadows were even more powerful. Thousands of shadows were layered on top of each other as if they were real, slashing at the blue-robed youth.

“Hah!”

The blue-robed young man shouted, and his clothes instantly burst apart, revealing his granite-like muscles.

“Mystic Cry Palm!”

The blue-robed young man struck out with his palm. A blue bell on his wrist shook violently, emitting waves of sound waves.

The powerful sound wave instantly dispersed the shadows that were attacking him. However, the sound wave only dispersed a portion of the shadows before it became powerless. The thousands of shadows that followed instantly swallowed the blue-robed young man.

However, before Mu Jiuri could make a second move, he felt a strong killing intent.

At the critical moment, Mu Jiuri suddenly turned his body to the side. Then, he saw a black streamer shooting at him and piercing his shoulder.

Judging from the position, if Mu Jiuri hadn’t forcefully checked his body, the arrow would have pierced through his heart.

“Tsk, what a pity. As expected of the number one rookie of the Demon Cult.”

In the distance, a young man wielding a longbow said regretfully.

As soon as the longbow youth finished speaking, another two people attacked Mu Jiuri from the left and right.

The person on the left held a sword, while the person on the right held a saber. One attacked the top three, while the other attacked the bottom three.

Mu Jiuri didn’t have the time to charge up his power and blast out the Thousand Shadows, so he could only directly face them!

However, although Mu Jiuri was strong, the five people chasing after him were all great mystic cultivators. Moreover, they were all ninth-level great mystic cultivators who were one step away from mystic spirit!

These five people were originally the outer scouts of the Poison Moth Sect, and were in charge of hunting down disciples who had betrayed the sect or those who wanted to harm the sect.

Due to their extremely cruel methods, these five people were very famous in the entire Tingshi prefecture. They were known as the Tingshi Five Massacres.
