Under night.

The dormitory area of ​​the ancient ruins is quiet.

At this time, outside the stone house where Lin Hao was, two contestants from Jianyun Academy were lying next to the crack in the wall, peeping secretly.

"This kid is actually practicing. Judging from his condition, it is very likely that he has swallowed some kind of heavenly material and earthly treasure."

The short-haired man frowned and his tone was quite jealous.

"He should be ready to hit the realm. Our opportunity has come."

The short young man's eyes were cold, staring at Lin Hao who was sitting cross-legged in the room, and said with a cruel smile: "Kill this kid, and we will share the resources equally."

Martial arts practitioners know very well that when attacking the realm, it can be said to be the most sensitive and critical step.

If you cross it, it is equivalent to a fish jumping over the dragon gate, and your strength will skyrocket.

If you fail, your cultivation will stagnate, and you may even suffer a backlash from the energy in your body, which can range from serious injury to death.

As for Lin Hao's current situation, the short young man could tell at a glance that it was at a critical moment.

Now is undoubtedly the best time to take action!

"Okay, do him a favor!"

The short-haired man had no objection and nodded fiercely.

After saying this, an ax appeared in his hand. The whole body was red gold, and the ax blade was thick and sharp.

One strike of an ax can definitely split a person in half alive!

"Don't be impulsive yet."

The short-haired man raised his ax and was about to break through the wall when the short young man suddenly stopped him.

"If you want to kill him, why do you want me to do it to my mother-in-law?"

The short-haired man looked fierce and asked in a deep voice.

"Haha, don't be so anxious, I have a way to save some energy."

The short young man narrowed his eyes slightly, then took out a small iron pipe from the storage ring and said with a sneer.

The iron pipe is about the thickness of a finger, and a cyan rune is engraved on the dark metal surface, which seems to be an auxiliary rune used to increase speed.

Obviously, this is a hidden assassination weapon.

Seeing this, the short-haired man's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood the other party's intention.

This iron pipe concealed weapon was no stranger to him.

Last time I saw a short man using this weapon to secretly shoot two contestants.

The steel needle inside is smeared with poison, and with the blessing of wind runes, it is as fast as lightning.

If it were to be attacked secretly, it would be difficult to react in an instant due to the small size of the poisonous needle.

At this time, the crack in the wall is just right to attack with this hidden weapon.

"Hurry up, I can't wait to see how many treasures are hidden in that boy's storage ring!"

The short-haired man smiled coldly and began to urge.

A cold gleam surged in the eyes of the short young man, and he immediately brought the launch port of the iron pipe close to the crack in the wall.

After adjusting the angle, he suddenly aimed at Lin Hao's head.

"Boy, go to hell!"

The short young man laughed ferociously, then mobilized spiritual energy to infuse the hidden weapon, and pressed his finger on the switch.

call out--!

As the switch was activated, a dark green poisonous needle suddenly stabbed out from the end of the iron pipe.

Its speed was so fast that the air seemed to be torn apart, and it reached Lin Hao in the blink of an eye.

However, just when the poisonous needle was about to touch the skin between Lin Hao's eyebrows, a black light suddenly shot over.

Just listen to the sound of "clang".

That poisonous needle instantly exploded into pieces!

"Huh? What is it?!"

A sudden change occurred. The short man and the others were stunned when they looked at this scene.

Immediately, the two of them took a closer look and saw a small black animal flapping its wings and floating in front of Lin Hao.

That animal looked extremely weird, resembling a fly but also somewhat like a spider.

However, what surprised them was that this little monster was able to withstand the poisonous needle shots!

"What a powerful force!"

Feeling the fluctuation of Jing Ke's aura, the short young man couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

Obviously, he did not expect that Lin Hao would be surrounded by such powerful little animal guards.

It can be seen from this that the two contestants from Wuling Academy who were on the top floor of the ancient pagoda were done by this little thing?!

Realizing this, the two of them turned to look at each other, and both saw solemnity in their eyes.

Even the geniuses from Wuling Academy were killed by him.

They only have the cultivation level of late seventh level, so how can they compete!

While the two of them were sizing up Jing Ke, his cold eyes were also fixed on the crack in the wall.

Whoosh!

Without any temptation, Jing Ke's wings vibrated and he turned into a black shadow and rushed away.

"Quickly retreat!"

Seeing this, the pupils in the short young man's eyes shrank tightly.

At that moment, the two figures quickly retreated.

At the same time, their bodies also condensed a layer of protective spiritual energy.

boom!

The next moment, a small hole was suddenly knocked out of the stone wall, and Jing Ke burst through it.

"Chen Fei, the master of the palace gave you the formation jade slip before he left, quickly take it out to trap and kill it!"

The short-haired man burst out with spiritual energy and shouted hurriedly.

The short young man's eyes darkened, and he took out a red jade slip without any hesitation, instantly activating the formation energy in it.

Buzz——!

All of a sudden, the jade slip suddenly shot out streaks of flame light, like chains of flames, lingering in all directions.

After the flame light chain intertwined several times, it quickly formed a mysterious formation, covering Jing Ke who had just emerged from the house.

This formation is called the ‘Fire Chain Trap Killing Formation’.

It was a life-saving trump card specially given to them before they entered the ancient battlefield.

If you encounter a strong person who cannot resist, you can use this formation to trap and kill him, but only twice.

"Although it's a bit wasteful, as long as we kill this beast, the kid's treasure will belong to us."

The short young man's eyes were filled with emotion as he stared at Jing Ke, who was already trapped in the formation, with a sinister smile on his face.

He is extremely confident in this formation. Even a ninth-level expert who wants to escape unscathed will find it difficult to do so!

Immediately, the spiritual power surged in the two people's bodies, and they poured it into the formation in a very tacit understanding.

For a moment, the entire formation burst out with bright flames and scorching energy fluctuations, causing the temperature of the space within the formation to soar crazily.

Jing Ke obviously felt the power of the fire array. At that moment, his pair of beast eyes flashed red, and he directly used Kung Fu Fly's previous skills.

Laser compound eyes!

laugh--!

In an instant, two tiny red laser beams shot out from his eyes, striking the flame screen of the formation fiercely.

The terrifying energy impact instantly stirred up layers of flame ripples, directly diluting the formation's light curtain.

Seeing this, the short-haired man and the others immediately increased the infusion of spiritual power, and in the blink of an eye, the formation light curtain became solid again.
Chapter completed!
