MTLNOVEL Chapter 1298: Continuous Killing
The night was as dark as ink. All the villagers in Liujia Village had fallen into a deep sleep. The entire village was silent, with only the occasional barking of dogs breaking the tranquility of the night.
As the night deepened, Xu Hanchang and the other two finished their breathing exercises and opened their eyes.
"It's almost time."
Zhou Yiqiao's voice rang out in the house.
Upon hearing this, the three of them stood up. Everyone knew that the next moment would be their time to fight back.
"let's go."
Qing Jimeng said softly.
The four of them left Liujia Village quietly without disturbing anyone.
Before leaving, they left some low-level spiritual objects to Liujia Village.
These spiritual objects are nothing to them, but to the villagers of Liujia Village, they are a considerable fortune and may even change the fate of Liujia Village.
They placed these spiritual objects in the village chief's home as a way of expressing gratitude to Liujia Village for hosting them during these days.
As for how the village chief of Liujia Village would distribute the property and what conflicts would arise among the villagers, that was not something for the four of them to consider.
After doing all this, the four of them left the village and headed towards one of the outposts of the Lingjian Sect and Xuantian League monks.
......
"This is it."
Half an incense stick later, Li Mubai pointed to a dense forest ahead and said in a deep voice.
"This is a sentry post of the Spirit Sword Sect and the Xuantian League. There should be twenty monks inside."
"I'll go check out the situation first."
With a cautious attitude, Xu Hanchang suggested in a low voice.
"Okay, we'll wait here for news from your brother Xu."
The three of them naturally had no objection and nodded in agreement.
Xu Hanchang's figure quickly disappeared into the dense forest.
A moment later, his figure appeared again, but this time, Xu Hanchang had a long-lost smile on his face.
"The situation has been ascertained. There are a total of twenty of them, five of whom are cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage, and the rest are cultivators in the Spiritual Transformation stage. Even the five cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage have extremely weak spiritual pressures. They are completely useless and have only managed to break through by chance."
"If it weren't for our plan, I could handle these people by myself."
“That’s a good thing for us.”
When Zhou Yiqiao heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes and a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Since they are so vulnerable, let's make a quick decision to avoid any more trouble."
"Brother Li, you are injured after all, so you are responsible for restraining those cultivators in the Spiritualization Stage and try not to let them make any noise;"
"Brother Xu, Fellow Daoist Qing, the three of us will join forces to focus on those five Void Refining cultivators. We must defeat them in one blow and not give them any chance to counterattack."
"clear."
The three of them responded in unison, without a trace of carelessness.
"action!"
Zhou Yiqiao's order was like a sharp sword, cutting through the tranquility of the night.
The four figures disappeared from their original places in an instant, and the next moment, they appeared at the sentry post.
"who?"
A monk noticed the four people who suddenly appeared and exclaimed in surprise.
But what answered him was Li Mubai's sword energy. Li Mubai's sword was like lightning, instantly piercing the monk's chest, making his voice stop abruptly.
At the same time, Zhou Yiqiao and the other two also launched an offensive.
Their target was the five cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage. Although these cultivators were quite powerful, they were as fragile as newborn babies in front of Zhou Yiqiao and the other two.
"boom!"
With Xu Hanchang's attack, the defense of the entire outpost collapsed instantly.
The spells cast by the three of them were like a violent storm, sweeping across the entire camp.
The five Nascent Soul cultivators didn't even have time to react before they were hit by this force. They flew backwards like kites with broken strings and fell heavily to the ground, their lives or deaths unknown.
Although Li Mubai was injured, he was still more than capable of dealing with these Jindan stage cultivators.
His sword flashed like a shadow, and each sword hit the enemy's vital points accurately, quickly and fiercely, leaving no room for maneuver.
The monks in the Spirit Transformation Stage in front of him were like lambs to be slaughtered. They fell down one after another without even a chance to call for help.
The air was filled with thick blood and despair, but under the cover of night, everything was quietly concealed.
"Quickly end this battle, don't linger and give them a chance to contact other outposts!"
Zhou Yiqiao was terrifyingly calm. While he was raising the Ten Thousand Souls Banner to deal a fatal blow to these Lingjian Sect monks, he also issued cold orders.
Although the three of them were on equal terms with Zhou Yiqiao, at this moment, they still carried out Zhou Yiqiao's orders without hesitation.
Before the cultivators from the Lingjian Sect and the Xuantian League could organize an effective counterattack, they fell one by one under the increasingly fierce attacks of the four.
The entire battle process was so fast that it was dazzling. From the beginning to the end, it only took a few breaths.
The strength of the four completely crushed these monks, leaving them no chance to fight back.
After the battle, the entire outpost was in ruins. Only Zhou Yiqiao and four others stood in the ruins, without a single scar on their bodies.
"Just a quick inventory of the loot to make sure nothing is missing."
While Zhou Yiqiao ordered the Ten Thousand Souls Banner to absorb the souls of the twenty cultivators, he also gave instructions to Xu Hanchang and the other two.
Xu Hanchang, Qing Jimeng and Li Mubai acted quickly. The four of them cooperated well and cleaned up the battlefield in just a few moments.
"Let's go to the next sentry point."
Zhou Yiqiao said calmly, without a trace of fluctuation in his voice.
The four figures disappeared into the night again, heading towards their next target silently like ghosts.
At the next few outposts, the four of them followed the same method, using their powerful strength and careful planning to defeat the monks of Lingjian Sect and Xuantian League one by one.
Their movements were incredibly fast. Including the time spent traveling between the five checkpoints, it only took them half an hour in total.
When the last sentry post was cleared, there was still much of the night left. The four men stood on a hilltop, looking at the last sentry post burning below, their eyes full of smiles.
"Finally done!"
Li Mubai let out a breath and uttered a word slowly.
"Yes."
As if he had finally relaxed, Xu Hanchang stretched lazily, his bones crackling all over, and a tired but satisfied smile on his face.
"It's not the time to relax yet. The cultivators at these sentinels must report their search results to the Spirit Sword Sect every day. We will wipe them all out today. In a few hours, if the Spirit Sword Sect and the Xuantian Alliance don't receive any news from these people, they will discover our whereabouts."
Zhou Yiqiao poured a basin of cold water on the two of them.
"Let's go. While they haven't noticed our move yet, we should return to the Spirit Sword Sect immediately. When they find out, we can strike in advance and catch them off guard."
After a night of fighting, the three men had no hesitation in responding to Zhou Yiqiao's orders and nodded in agreement.
A gust of wind blew, and the four Grim Reapers disappeared into the darkness again.
