Chi Xiao's words infuriated Chu Xiong, Tang Yiming, and the others. They had thought that they had encountered a crisis and that Chi Xiao would save them out of consideration for their relationship as fellow disciples of the sect. But, they had never imagined that Chi Xiao would heartlessly refuse.
Even Chu Yuechan, who was as calm as water, felt that Chi Xiao was being unreasonable.
"I don't believe that without this Chi Xiao, we are going to die here!" A disciple roared in anger. Then, he took out his weapon and started to attack.
"Sister Chu, Senior Tang, and the other two Senior Brothers, the four of you will take care of the four beasts. Senior Brother Chu, you will take care of the two beasts. I will protect the seven Senior Brothers!
This battle must end quickly!
Otherwise, it will only attract more beasts. "
Qin Yu suddenly shouted. He wasn't worried about the three beasts, but that once they started fighting, they would definitely attract the attention of the other beasts. That would be the real problem.
Chi Xiao's heartlessness didn't surprise Qin Yu. With that old thing's temperament, it was normal for him to teach someone like Chi Xiao.
If Chi Xiao didn't take action, it wasn't impossible for the thirteen of them to kill the three beasts. They just needed to coordinate well.
After seeing how Chu Xiong killed the beast with the Yazi Bloodline, Qin Yu guessed that the seven of them could increase Chu Xiong's strength by a large margin. It shouldn't be a problem for him to deal with two beasts at the same time. As for Chu Yuechan and Tang Yiming, it shouldn't be a problem for them to kill one beast. His main task was to protect the seven of them and prevent the beasts from disrupting their formation. Otherwise, Chu Xiong's strength would be greatly reduced.
Of course, Qin Yu had his reasons for doing this. One reason was that he wanted to clearly see Chu Xiong's strength, and the second reason was that Qin Yu was able to control the entire situation. This was because he had a special understanding of the seven Star Gathering Arrays. In a moment of crisis, Qin Yu could also use the arrays to turn the seven Star Gathering Arrays into eight Star Gathering Arrays!
In the Immortal Martial Realm, the Seven Star Gathering Formations were the simplest and most common formations that gathered the strength of a crowd. A true Star Gathering Formation could gather the strength of millions of cultivators. Of course, this was something only a peak power could do.
"Who do you think you are?
If we didn't trust you, would we have run ahead of Chi Xiao?
You still want us to trust you now?
Then won't we all die here? "
A hot-tempered disciple angrily roared out. They were already in a bad mood before this. They could have followed behind Crimson Firmament and didn't need to worry about anything, but Qin Yu had chosen to walk in front of Crimson Firmament, saying that Crimson Firmament would attack.
"Do as he says!"
Chu Xiong spoke up. Although he didn't like Qin Yu acting on his own and trying to influence him, what Qin Yu said wasn't reasonable at all. If he used the array formation, he was confident he could delay the two vicious beasts. As long as Chu Yuechan and the others killed the vicious beasts, they would be able to resolve this crisis.
Chu Yuechan, Tang Yiming, and the other two disciples, who were well aware of the danger, surrounded a Vicious Beast and lured it to the side, while the seven disciples quickly set up the Seven Star Gathering Formations.
Chu Xiong's body radiated golden light as he fought against the two ferocious beasts.
However, these two ferocious beasts already had spiritual intelligence. They could tell that the seven disciples were setting up a formation, so they actually attacked the seven disciples.
"Sister Chu, end this quickly!
Senior Chu, hold one of the beasts back! "Qin Yu roared in a hoarse voice. The battle spear in his hand transformed into a bolt of lightning, shooting towards one of the beasts attacking the disciples.
"RUMBLE!"
Beasts had an innate fear of lightning. This was the law since the ancient times. The bolt of lightning caused the three beasts to turn pale with fright. The beast that wanted to attack the disciples suddenly stopped.
In an instant, Qin Yu activated the Mystic Lightning Protection. Astral energy gushed out from his body, and within his astral energy, numerous bolts of lightning could be seen as he dashed into the formation.
Even beasts with the bloodline of the Yazi Beast were incomparably fearful of lightning, let alone these ordinary peak fourth-ranked beasts.
Qin Yu's participation restrained the two beasts, and Chu Xiong launched a frenzied attack at the same time.
Chi Xiao, who had stopped in the distance, had his eyes fixed on Qin Yu. As for Chu Xiong, Chu Yuechan, and Tang Yiming, Chi Xiao did not even look at them. It was not that Chi Xiao was arrogant as the number one on the Prodigy List, but his temperament was like this. Other than the people he cared about, the life and death of others had nothing to do with him.
The reason why he cared and paid attention to Qin Yu was mostly because of the Raging Flame Fall. Otherwise, he would have left long ago.
The Raging Flame Fall was his master Lie Ao's famous battle skill. Other than himself, Chi Xiao had never heard of his master passing it to anyone else. He did not expect to see it in the trial ground.
If Chi Xiao paid attention to Qin Yu because of the Raging Flame Fall, then the Mystic Lightning and Mystic Lightning Protection made Chi Xiao's eyes light up.
Mystic Lightning Body?
There was a Mystic Lightning Body in the sect?
Why had he never heard of it before?
Chi Xiao was shocked. Logically speaking, the appearance of a Mystic Lightning Body in the sect should have caused quite a commotion. Could it be that someone deliberately concealed it?
Or … this person had some kind of relationship with his master?
It should be like this. His master must have secretly done something to prevent others from detecting this person's Mystic Lightning Body. No wonder this person always wore a black robe and mask. It turned out that he wanted to hide his identity.
His master was really wishful thinking. He had secretly taken in a disciple with a Mystic Lightning Body. Hehe.
Wait a minute.
Then, wasn't this guy his junior brother?
Chi Xiao's gaze changed, and there was a look of anticipation in his eyes.
Qin Yu's Mystic Lightning Protection completely suppressed one of the beasts. This made Chu Xiong much more relaxed, and he attacked one of the beasts with all his strength.
The entire battle lasted for less than an hour, and all three beasts were killed.
Looking at Qin Yu collecting the blood of the beasts, Chu Xiong couldn't help but rejoice in his heart. With this Qin Yu around, their chances of entering the depths would be greater!
This time, no one stopped Qin Yu from collecting the blood of the beasts, and their gazes towards Qin Yu were filled with respect. This battle had undoubtedly reminded everyone of Qin Yu's importance in the team. The deeper they went, the more likely Qin Yu's role would be reflected.
People were all realistic. From the beginning, the other disciples didn't understand why Chu Xiong wanted to rope in Qin Yu. But now, they admired Chu Xiong more and more. His vision was extraordinary.
"You … are you willing to enter with me?" Just as everyone was pondering, a deep voice sounded.
Everyone looked towards Chi Xiao in the distance. After being stunned for a moment, they were puzzled. Who was this "you" that Chi Xiao was talking about?
Chu Xiong knew that something was wrong and quickly asked, "Senior Brother Chi, are you willing to enter with us?"
Chi Xiao didn't answer. His gaze was fixed on Qin Yu.
Feeling Chi Xiao's gaze, Qin Yu was surprised. Could it be that Chi Xiao had taken a fancy to his Mystic Thunder Physique?
His goal was the same as Chu Xiong's?
If so … this matter was worth pondering.
To be honest, entering with Chu Xiong and the others wasn't what Qin Yu wanted. It was just that he had no other choice. After all, he still needed to rely on them to sweep away the powerful beasts in the depths of the forbidden area. But what made Qin Yu wary was that aside from Tang Yiming and the others, the seven young disciples who arranged the seven Star Convergence Arrays all bowed their heads to Chu Xiong.
Once they obtained a rare treasure, Chu Xiong would forcefully seize it. This could be seen from the blood of the beasts from before.
In other words, at that time, a life and death struggle would be unavoidable.
Moreover, there was also the cunning Tang Yiming. Although Qin Yu had the First Berserk Demon Transformation and didn't fear him, it was easier to dodge an open spear than a hidden arrow. Qin Yu didn't want to fail miserably.
Qin Yu vaguely guessed something about Chi Xiao. Since he was that old thing's disciple, then he must have recognized the Raging Flame Pendant. That was why he invited Qin Yu to go with him.
But this Chi Xiao was also collecting the blood of the beasts. This made Qin Yu hesitate. If he couldn't collect the blood of the beasts, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to strengthen the Swamp Fire in a short period of time.
After weighing the pros and cons for a long time, Qin Yu looked at Chi Xiao and only said one word, "Okay!"
When Qin Yu's words fell, Chi Xiao's expression didn't change. He also replied with one word, "Let's go!"
The others who had seen Qin Yu's great use earlier all changed their expressions. With Qin Yu here, they could use the Mystic Thunder to suppress the beasts. But if Qin Yu left, how would they suppress the beasts?
Everyone looked at Chu Xiong in unison.
Chu Xiong's heart thumped. He stared at Qin Yu. He didn't expect that Qin Yu would actually agree. After hesitating for a moment, Chu Xiong, who was unwilling in his heart, said, "Junior Brother Wang, Chi Xiao's temperament is unstable. He is naturally violent. Please reconsider."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Chu. I have made up my mind." Qin Yu said indifferently. He then walked towards Chi Xiao.
Tang Yiming was the first to speak, "Junior Brother Wang, Senior Brother Chu's words are reasonable. Don't be in a hurry to leave …"
Seeing that Qin Yu didn't stop at all, the disciple who had scolded Qin Yu before was furious. He coldly shouted, "Traitor! If it weren't for Senior Brother Chu, you would have been dead already. Senior Brother Chu, I think this person was raised by a mother but didn't have a mother to give birth to him. No one taught him to be grateful …" The disciple didn't finish his words and stopped abruptly.
"Rumble!"
The sound of thunder suddenly resounded through the sky.
A light purple thunderbolt suddenly appeared. In an instant, it sank into the disciple's forehead!
He was killed in one strike and fell to the ground with a loud bang.
Parents were Qin Yu's pain.
