Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 342 - 170: The Superiority of the System, Sudden Murder (9k)_4
It seems that the exchange battle last time left a deep impression on them...
"Just two Arrogant Suns, why the hurry?" Ji Jingqiu's demeanor remained calm, but there was a fiery dance in his eyes, "We should find a way to deal with them here and now, to avoid more trouble when the four of them come together later."
"Um, let me think, six people in total, how can we capture them all at once, without letting anyone escape?"
"It appears that a sneak attack is needed first. When the situation turns to us being surrounded, we must also make them feel that just holding on a little longer could defeat me. I can't appear too strong from the start..."
"If they want to design an ambush to kill me, then there's no need for me to talk about honor."
He murmured softly to himself, causing the elf girl's beautiful eyes to widen in astonishment, not because of the formidable lineup on the other side, but because of this guy's audacious words!
The guy in front of her was talking to himself, intending to take down all six, with no regard for the two Arrogant Suns among them.
Despite this, he exuded such confidence, as calm as a gentle breeze and poised, not worried about being unable to fight them off, but about the possibility that the enemies might flee and he wouldn't be able to catch them all.
Wait...
This guy said "design an ambush for me"?
The elf girl froze for a moment, then finally regained her senses and asked meekly, "What's your name? You seem to have never introduced yourself."
"Ji Jingqiu."
The elf girl's pointed ears trembled.
No wonder this guy wants to strike first—it turns out he's the one those people are aiming to take down!
After brief hesitation, the elf girl whispered her analysis of the situation to help him:
"They have six people, and the strongest two are from the Luofeng Ancient Country, both Sealing Kings. If you want to keep them all..."
...
...
Two Martial Artists from the Beicang Commerce Alliance were conversing with Martial Artists from the Demon Eye Empire and Luofeng Ancient Country in the universal language of the cosmos.
"Don't worry, we'll cooperate fully." One of them, named Chen Haichong, grinned with delight, his expression twisted with pleasure.
The chance to team up with other civilizations' experts to eliminate a talent like Ji Jingqiu gave him an indescribable thrill.
Perhaps it was because he had to admit that Ji Jingqiu was a genuine genius martial artist that he could never catch up with in his lifetime, and now such a warrior with an unlimited future was going to die in their trap.
"The only worry is whether Ji Jingqiu will use his life-saving talisman," another Martial Artist from the Federation, named Zhao Xinghe, said with a frown.
He was very concerned about Ji Jingqiu escaping!
Although everything in the Half-plane could not be monitored, even if Ji Jingqiu escaped and the plot to encircle him got leaked, they wouldn't need to worry.
What he truly feared was being remembered with resentment by a natural-born prodigy like Ji Jingqiu.
A Martial Artist from the Demon Eye Empire chuckled, "Rest assured, with both of us joining forces to perform a mental assault, we'll ensure he has no chance to escape."
Zhao Xinghe nodded strongly and said in a deep voice, "Since we've decided to take action, we must ensure he is buried here. This Half-plane is just the right place for his grave."
Martial Artists from the Demon Eye Empire and Luofeng Ancient Country exchanged glances, filled with a mixture of sentiment and mockery.
It seems not only within their group, but in the Yanhuang Federation as well, one is always more ruthless towards their own.
"Who?!"
Suddenly, someone from the Luofeng Ancient Country looked up.
Someone was descending silently from above, then brought down a palm carrying the force of collapsing clouds, right on top of them!
The palm aimed at one of the two Martial Artists from the Federation.
Chen Haichong couldn't believe that with six of them gathered here, including two of the Arrogant Sun level, someone dared to launch a sneak attack?!
Ridiculous!
Believing he had support, he refused to back down, bellowed, and met the challenge to show the attacker what's what.
But unexpectedly, this crushing palm seemed unremarkable, yet it was extremely domineering. It came down like the grinding disc of Heaven and Earth, leaving no room for survival.
"Save me!"
He cried out in terror, desperately raising both hands to defend himself, but like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, his defense was easily breached by the palm, which then pressed down on his head, and following a hair-raising crack, his skull was broken, drooping limply.
Lifeless.
Finally, the people around him snapped back to the attack.
The fastest among them turned out to be a Sealing King level Heavenly Pride from Luofeng Ancient Country, his palm like an axe, as if cleaving mountains!
Attempting to mimic the previous attack, he aimed to kill Ji Jingqiu with a single blow!
Ji Jingqiu had no intention of dodging, without turning his head, countered with a finger against the palm, his Qi Force surging, appearing indifferent, but concealing a power that could pierce through metal and stone.
With this finger, he performed Diao Xingyun's Mystic Sky Force, known for its spiral and piercing power, touted as the Federation's number one armor-breaker.
The other felt something amiss, his eyes suddenly hardened, wanting to retract his hand, but it was too late.
With one finger, blood splattered as a hole clear through both sides was bored through that Martial Artist's hand.
His expression turned frosty. Seeing the two companions from the Demon Eye Empire opening their third eyes and utilizing their Innate Divine Ability, he shouted angrily, clenched his five fingers into a fist, trying to support them by holding Ji Jingqiu back.
Behind him surged a fierce Fist Intent, as a shadowy figure emerged behind him, resembling the Knife Spirit shown by Longsa that day, but fainter, seemingly not as substantial as Longsa's display.
On top of this punch, there lay an invisible layer of flames, the embodiment of Divine Evil, which could scorch both body and soul. If Ji Jingqiu dared to face him head-on, he was going to make him pay!
Ji Jingqiu, as he wished, with a profound gaze, never had a good outcome for those who dared to directly clash with him in the same realm.
Within his body, the One Qi Mixed Yuan Power burst out like an enraged tiger, roaring as it shook Heaven and Earth, the blood shadow behind him flashed and vanished, not only effortlessly extinguishing the Divine Evil flames on his fist, but also obscuring the soul shadow behind.
