Chapter Thirty: A Strike from Behind

  My voice is hoarse from asking for recommendation votes, it's a big deal for the new year, everyone come and give me a few votes!

  The situation is relatively optimistic, and Lei Qingxue is still effortlessly flirting with the female cultivator Zhou, seemingly not in a hurry to use her powerful techniques to defeat her opponent. Perhaps she wants to take advantage of this encounter to hone Lei's skills a bit.

  Although she is only a few months older than Leixiao, this sister is already very competent and much more mature in terms of mental state.

  Lei Xiao's body was still radiating flames, chasing after the three men with the Taimen mark as they fled in all directions. The high-quality spiritual symbol's power was too strong, and before the flame impact wave dissipated, he remained at an advantage.

  "Third sister, where is Su Shi Di?"

  Lei Xiao suddenly looked around, but did not find Su Che's figure, and then loudly asked: "Where did he go? Where is the follower?"

  "They ran off in that direction." Amidst a life-or-death situation, Lei Qingxue still had the leisure to point out the direction.

  "Ah?" Lei's smile changed and he shouted loudly: "Why didn't you stop him?"

  The words fell, and no longer chasing after the three men, they rushed towards the fork in the road.

  Lei Xiao couldn't help but smile at the anxious expression on his face, and Su Che, who was hiding in the shadows, took a clear look, feeling a warmth in his heart. In the cruel world of cultivation, people were more likely to be in a competitive relationship with each other, and they had to show off their skills to compete for limited resources, so as to occupy an advantageous position that surpassed others. The harder it was for cultivators who struggled to make ends meet from the very bottom, the softer and warmer their hearts would be ground away.

  Perhaps it's because Leixiao comes from a noble family and is kind-hearted, so he still retains a sincere affection. But who knows how long this sincerity can last on the endless path of cultivating immortality?

  Lei Xiao wanted to go and rescue Su Che, but the several men with Tui Bei naturally wouldn't allow it. They hadn't expected that the Lei siblings would be so difficult to deal with. However, through the conversation between the siblings, it could be confirmed that another little guy at the Qi Refining stage was actually the real soft persimmon.

  One by one, they'll take care of them first. Once Su Che is taken care of, they'll come back to help deal with the Lei siblings... This was what they were thinking at this moment.

  "Brother, my younger brother will soon take care of that little guy. You two, use your earth and water spells to hold back this Thunder Kid as much as possible."

  "Good!" Lu Lao Da and He surname man responded in unison, each taking out their own methods to block Lei Xiao's hands.

  To stop Lei Xiao, earth and water system spells are the most effective, but due to Tai Ji male's innate talent, these two systems of spells will not work, so we can only rely on water system spirit symbols to restrain Lei Xiao's impact fire ring.

  Whoa! A Frozen Spirit Symbol was activated, releasing a blast of icy air that could freeze a pool of hot water into ice blocks in an instant, which shot towards Lei Xiang's face.

  Hehehe......

  Extreme heat and extreme cold collided, emitting a white mist-like water vapor, smoke filled the air, enveloping this area in an instant, almost unable to see Lei Xiao's figure.

  A man with the surname He was quite skilled in water-based magic, and didn't need to rely on the power of spirit symbols. With a whooshing sound, three ice arrows shot into the mist.

  The two of them were well aware that the chill of ice and the Ice Arrow Technique could only create a distracting effect, let alone hurt Lei Xiao, it was even difficult to stop him, simply because the Impact Fire Ring Spirit Symbol on his body was too high in grade and too powerful.

  To stop him, it depends on Old Master Lu.

  Lu Lao Da was most skilled in earth-based magic spells. He had already silently recited the incantation, raised his hand and pointed: "Earth Dragon, appear!"

  Within the range of the smoky atmosphere, Lei Xiang was affected by the cold ice and icy arrow techniques, his movement speed greatly slowed down. He also knew that as long as the protective power of the fire ring had not yet lost its effect, he would not be easily injured. Therefore, although his speed had decreased, he still steeled himself to charge forward.

  Rumble!

  The earth shook, a "soil dragon" made of sand and soil wriggled on the ground, opening its ring-shaped big mouth to swallow Lei Xiang.

  It's called the Earth Dragon, but that's just a metaphor. To be precise, it's a giant earthworm over 15 meters long and as thick as a water tank, entirely composed of sand and soil, not afraid of flames, and under Lu Da's control, can attack Lei Xiao like a python within a certain period of time.

  Wow!

  The sandy soil is not afraid of fire, and the impact of the high-temperature flame ring can't destroy this earth dragon in a short time. Lei Xiao doesn't dare to be swallowed by it either, and can only dodge its big mouth by jumping east and west, so there's no need to think about rescuing Su Che anymore.

  Lei Xiao Nu Huo Kuang Biao, turned around and rushed towards Lu Lao Da. He was very clear that only by dealing with Lu Lao Da could he get rid of the entanglement of the earth dragon.

  Lu Lao Da used his spiritual technique to control the earth dragon, making sudden thrusts and parries, always managing to block Lei Xiao's path forward, and even forcing him to dodge the earth dragon's devouring attacks repeatedly.

  The earth dragon's body is huge, but it's not a living thing, and its agility when moving is limited after all. It's basically impossible to swallow Lei Xiao; however, Lei Xiao also finds it difficult to shake off its entanglement.

  "Damn it, if you have the guts, come and fight me head-on..."

  Lei Xiang loudly scolded, obviously getting anxious, always stuck in this stalemate, the longer the time dragged on, the more dangerous Su Che's situation became. Adding to that, the effect of the impact fire talisman was limited after all. This way, a top-grade spirit talisman was activated, if nothing was achieved and not even one enemy was taken down, it would be truly too wasteful...

  On the other side, Lei Qingxue shook her head secretly, and through the observation just now, she had summed up at least four mistakes for her younger brother, and she would have a good talk with him when she got back.

  As for Su Che's safety, to be honest, Lei Qingxue didn't care too much. With so many fellow disciples in the Tian Xuan Sect, over 200,000 of them, he had no obligation to take care of him, especially since it was his own fault for leaving his protection range. He couldn't blame himself for this matter.

  Lei Qingxue still didn't rush to take action, thinking in her heart that she would wait until her younger brother's Flame Symbol lost its effect and he fell into a predicament before lending him a hand, which would have the best tempering effect.

  Just as she was thinking about it, she saw an unexpected scene...

  Lu Lao Da manipulated the earth dragon to entangle Lei Xiao, but he didn't expect that Su Che, who was supposed to be dead without a doubt, suddenly appeared several feet behind him. With a flick of his hand, he tossed over a "Flowing Sand Symbol" which landed at Lu Lao Da's feet.

  The talisman took effect instantly, and Lu Lao Da only felt a softness under his feet. A strong suction force suddenly came, and his knees sank into the quicksand below.

  The inferior Flowing Sand Symbol can only create a range of about one zhang, and its power is indeed limited. It shouldn't be able to kill any cultivator, and the effect is just to cause trouble.

  However, at a critical moment, someone made trouble, often causing a huge turning point, directly changing the situation.

  Lu Lao Da was ambushed, his heart skipped a beat, and the spiritual control technique suddenly went awry. The earth dragon entwined with Lei Xiao let out a loud "boom" as it fell to the ground, although it didn't completely dissipate, it momentarily lost control.

  Seizing this rare opportunity, Lei Xiang suddenly jumped high and leaped over the sturdy body of Tulong, directly charging in front of Lu Lao Da.

  "Haha, you're done for!"

  Amidst the thunderous laughter, the Impact Flame Ring on Lei Xiang's body burst forth with a loud "Boom".

  Lu Lao Da was shocked, desperately circulating his true energy, and suddenly jumped out of the quicksand. His reaction speed was indeed quite fast, but he still couldn't completely avoid the impact flames triggered by Lei Xiao.

  Boom!

  Lu Lao Da was struck by the orange-yellow flames and somersaulted in mid-air, thudding to the ground with a loud crash, landing right in front of Su Che.

  At this moment, Lu Lao Da's entire body was charred black, like charcoal, and he was clearly severely injured, which showed the super strong power of the impact fire ring.

  Seeing Lao Da Lu still struggling, wanting to prop up his body, Su Che's eyes were quick and his legs were fast, he rushed forward a few steps, kicked out with one foot, and hit Lao Da Lu's occipital bone with a loud crash.

  At the initial stage of Qi training, a practitioner's physical strength is limited. Taking such a heavy blow would knock them out as easily as an ordinary person. Lu Da was knocked unconscious without making a sound and became the second unfortunate soul to be knocked out by Su Che.

  There were also several other pairs of eyes present, so Su Che would not dare to drag Lu Lao Da into the Black Tower prison in front of them... No rush for now, wait for another opportunity later!

  Su Che's sudden and drastic turn of events left the Taimen man and He surname man utterly shocked, not only because he had secretly plotted against Lu Lao Da, but also because it was related to the whereabouts of 'Zhāo Fēng ěr'.

  "What about my brother?" Tairen's subconscious loud voice asked.

  "Who is your brother?" Su Che asked with a faint smile, intentionally asking.

  The man's eyes turned cold, and he shut his mouth without a word. The previous question was just an initial reaction from my mind, which means I didn't think it through, but now I understand that this isn't the time to ask about my brother's whereabouts. Even if I asked, the other person wouldn't give me a truthful answer anyway...

  He exchanged a glance with the man surnamed He and transmitted his voice: "Save Old Master Lu first!"

  Wow!

  The two of them went all out, using their fastest speed to rush towards Su Che, wanting to save Lu Lao Da while also trying to catch Su Che and figure out his younger brother's whereabouts.

  "Great job, Su Shi!"

  Lei Xiao took advantage of the distance and rushed over, wanting to intercept the two men. The impact fire ring was still there, and he didn't dare get close to Su Che, because this impact fire ring was ruthless and would only protect the person at its center who released the spirit symbol.

  The power of the Impact Fire Ring, the Tairen male and the He surname male are naturally very wary, Lao Da Lu's example is right in front of them, that orange-yellow flame halo must not be touched...

  Two men were about to avoid Lei Xiao, but unexpectedly, the orange-yellow flame ring surrounding Lei Xiao's body suddenly dimmed, as if its energy was exhausted, and it abruptly darkened.

  Invalid?

  Taiji male and He surname male suddenly delighted, the most headache impact fire ring, finally boiled it away!
