Chapter Thirty-One Plus One

  "Terrible!"

  Lei Xiao also secretly cursed his bad luck, why did the fire talisman fail at this critical moment? He indeed had another high-quality spirit talisman hidden on him, but using it would be too costly, and it would be too heart-wrenching!

  Such a small-scale battle would require releasing two high-quality spiritual symbols. If word got out, it would be cursed by anyone as an ultra-defeatist behavior...

  "Third sister!"

  In desperation, Lei Xiao could only loudly ask for help from his elder sister.

  Lei Qingxue smiled as she took out a paper talisman from her Qiankun bag, silently reciting an incantation. Her true energy surged forth with a burst of electricity, and in an instant, her speed increased by several levels. With a few swift sword strikes, she forced the female cultivator 'Ying Hong' to retreat over ten feet.

  Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

  Lei Qing's figure flickered and disappeared, her toes tapping the ground three times in quick succession. In the blink of an eye, she had traversed over twenty zhangs of distance and appeared beside Lei Xiao.

  Slender and elegant, as if floating like an immortal.

  "What a terrifying speed!"

  Taiji male and He surname male suddenly stiffened, especially 'Ying Hong' female cultivator was even more frightened, only then did they understand that this little girl had always been holding back, never using her true strength, and had been exchanging blows with them for so long. If she had displayed such speed during this time, they would have lost long ago.

  Hooray!

  Lei Qingxue's flying sword flashed out a burst of electric light, revealing an inexplicable aura of intimidation. It was clear that this flying sword had been imbued with some kind of spiritual symbol, and it no longer seemed to be just a low-level artifact.

  "Is it necessary to continue entangling?" Lei Qingxue's voice was soft, and he said to the three men with the birthmark: "I have never brought out my true strength, just to hone my younger brother and let him accumulate some combat experience. Now that the effect has been achieved, if you don't know how to advance or retreat, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

  Lei Xiao extremely cooperatively echoed: "Third sister, if you're going to kill someone, then just do it. On the path of cultivation, you can't always be so merciful."

  Taiji male and He surname male immediately retreated a distance, gathered together with Ying Hong female repair, the three people were shocked by Lei Qingxue's just displayed terrible speed.

  That speed thoroughly surpassed the level that should be possessed at the beginning of Qi training. Generally speaking, even cultivators in the fifth layer of Qi training may not necessarily reach such a lightning-fast speed.

  "It's our fault for not recognizing a true hero and offending you, Miss. Thank you for sparing us just now."

  The red-robed female cultivator first gave Shallow a slight bow, then looked at Lu Dagang lying by Su Che's feet and asked: "May I ask, can we take our companion away?"

  "It's impossible, retreat at once!"

  Lei Qingxue's answer was extremely resolute, and with a "chi" sound, the law sword emitted another flash of electric light.

  "Alright." The red-robed female cultivator gave her husband a signal, meaning to hurry up and retreat. It wasn't worth risking their lives as a couple for the sake of one Lu Lao Da.

  The man with the surname He nodded slightly, also having no intention of fighting. Today's luck was not good, greatly underestimating his opponent, and Lei Xiaozu being able to bring out a high-quality spirit symbol was already quite abnormal... His sister was even more exaggerated... Being able to keep his life was already a mercy from the other party.

  The man didn't care about Lao Da Lu's life or death, what he cared about was another person. So, once again, he asked Su Che: "Where is my brother? The one who chased you just now."

  "Oh, that's your brother..." Su Che replied with a pretentious tone: "He ran away! I wounded him and he escaped deeper into the canyon."

  "Is he injured?"

  The Taito male is skeptical and can't quite accept that a mere child who has only practiced the first level of Ki manipulation could defeat his own brother...

  However, this kid is standing in front of him, and his younger brother has disappeared without a trace. The irrefutable fact is before our eyes, and all we can say is that the few of us have misjudged the situation, chosen the wrong target, and suffered a great loss.

  "Never mind, my brother is just injured. As long as he didn't lose his life, everything can be discussed later." The man with the birthmark also had a mind to retreat and planned to send a message to inquire about his brother's condition once they reached a safe place.

  He could never have imagined that his younger brother, although not dead, had already entered another world, a very special closed space, and it was impossible to contact him again. Unless, in the future, he too would be fortunate enough to enter that special space...

  Tairen and the He couple retreated, which means that Lu Lao Da, who was in a coma, was ruthlessly abandoned by them. This kind of thing is extremely common in the cultivation world, where cooperation between people is only temporary and no one is willing to live or die for others.

  Lei Xiao whispered in Su Che's ear: "Don't you think it's strange, my third sister obviously has such ability, why did she let them go?"

  "There is one thing." Su Che nodded lightly.

  Lei Xiao chuckled and said, "Actually, San Jie's Electric Light Speed only lasts for a short three breaths of time. It can be used to scare people, but if it were to be used in an actual battle, it wouldn't be enough."

  "There's only three breaths of time..." Su Che finally understood that Lei Qingxue's speed skill was actually this brief.

  "That's also pretty good." Su Che sincerely commented: "Not only is it intimidating, but an unexpected sneak attack can also be effective."

  "This is our Lei family's unique 'Electric Light Acceleration Symbol', a worthless trinket... However, it can only be used when one reaches the third layer of Qi training." Lei Xiao said with a smile: "When you reach the third layer of Qi training, I'll give you a few."

  Su Che nodded in gratitude.

  Lei Xiao asked curiously again: "Did you really injure that guy's younger brother?"

  "Yes." Su Che had already thought of an excuse, nodded and said: "He underestimated me, was careless for a moment, and was hit by my medium-grade spirit symbol. He should be quite injured."

  "Go on, young man!" Lei laughed and said: "Don't say they underestimated you, even my sister and I didn't think of it... And also, the 'Flowing Sand Symbol' you used just now was also timely, your behind-the-scenes manipulation is quite skillful!"

  Su Che shook his head in humility, while Lei Qingxue smiled faintly beside him, her eyes also filled with deep meaning. Lei's words indeed expressed what she had been thinking in her heart - no one had underestimated this 'Junior Brother Su'.

  Su Chu bent down and took the Qian Kun bag from Lu Lao Da's waist, handing it to Lei Xiao: "This is our spoils of war, you count them."

  "It's yours." Lei laughed and shook his head: "You knocked him out, so of course his things belong to you."

  "That won't do!" Su Che shook his head repeatedly: "Since we're cooperating to defeat the enemy together, no matter how much spoils of war there are, they must be divided equally."

  "A lone cultivator's Qiankun bag, what good things could it possibly have? You can just keep it for yourself." Lei Xiao stuffed the Qiankun bag into Su Che's arms and said with a grin: "When I make some big gains in the future, I won't be polite to you then."

  Lei Qingxue was also a faction of indifference, without even glancing at the Qiankun bag. Su Che knew that the Lei family's descendants were from a prominent background and looked down on the meager assets of ordinary loose cultivators.

  Forget it! Su Che wasn't a person who left marks, so he tied the Qian Kun bag to his waist and waited until he was alone to sort out what was inside.

  "This guy isn't dead yet, how should we deal with him?" Su Che looked down at Lao Da Lu who was still unconscious.

  "Let him be."

  Lei Jia's siblings would not deign to kill someone as insignificant as this, let alone when he was already severely injured and had no strength to resist.

  "I'll use him..." Su Che charged towards Lei with a smile and winked, patting his own spatial pouch.

  "Refining a magic weapon?" Lei Xiao immediately understood and asked curiously, "Brother, your magic weapon won't be a demonic one that devours people, will it?"

  "Human, Yao, and Mo, are they different?" Su Che pretended to be stupid and asked back in a daze: "I only know that the more living spirits used to refine the magic instrument, the better, right?"

  "Alright! You're quite ruthless!" Lei Xiao waved his hand and said: "Hurry up and go, don't let my third sister see you, she's more disgusted with this kind of thing."

  As expected, Lei Qingxue, who was standing not far away, frowned slightly, clearly disapproving of this matter. To be sure, using human souls to refine magic treasures was a common practice for demonic cultivators; while the Orthodox Daoist sect did not completely prohibit it, they also did not encourage it. Treating mortal enemies in such a way could be tolerated, but it was absolutely forbidden to slaughter innocent people indiscriminately for the sake of refining magic treasures.

  Fortunately, Lu Lao Da was barely a mortal enemy, so Lei Qing Xue only slightly showed her attitude and didn't say anything to stop him.

  Su Che smiled and said: "Don't worry, I only do this to enemies, I will never fall into the devil's path!"

  Lei Qingxue nodded slightly and asked softly: "How long will it take?"

  "It will be fine soon."

  Su Che walked and answered, pulling Lu Lao Da into a pile of rocks.

  Arriving at the hidden place, Su Che was thinking in his heart "Capture this person", Lu Lao Da disappeared without a trace, and smoothly entered the first layer of the prison space of the Black Tower.

  "Haha, here comes another one."

  In the prison, Old Hei laughed loudly, with two prisoners already lying at his feet. Zhaofeng'er had not yet awakened, and another Lu Lao Da was added, but Lu Lao Da's injuries were more severe, his whole body charred black, even if he woke up, he would need to rest for a while before he could withstand the "torture" that Old Hei spoke of.
