Chapter 0161: 0161
Si Fangji and Qi Yunji had died . The widely notorious Scarlet Sea's Seven Ghosts had turned into the Scarlet Sea's Four Ghosts .
All that was left were Tian Yijun, Shen Erjun, Yu Sanji, and Wu Shengjun . In fact, all of them were wearing mantles, so it was impossible to discern their facial expressions by looking . However, it wouldn't be too far fetched to say that they were all absolutely fuming within!
Three of their fellow brothers and sisters, including their disciple, the Spectral Concubine, had been murdered by Wu Yu . Frankly speaking, they were afraid that even after they had conquered the Bipo Mountain Range and obtained what they wanted, what would be left was their corpses littering the fields and their losses unsustainable .
Currently, their losses were even greater than that of Jiang Xie!
Conversely, the demons seemed to have had no losses thus far .
What was most important was that they had been completely led by the nose by a single young cultivator of the previous generation . With their lofty status and their fearful might, this was an unacceptable humiliation!
The entire Bipo Mountain Range could hear the exhortations of the Scarlet Sea's Four Ghosts . Everyone was able to see that a large area was filled with ghostly qi .
After killing Si Fangji, Wu Yu had immediately gone into hiding . This last assassination attempt had left him jumpy .
"I have finally managed to kill someone at the ninth tier Qi Condensation Realm . However, what follows will definitely not be easy . It was only with Master's help that she was suppressed and I was not forced into a protracted battle . " Wu Yu's heart was clear that this victory was not purely due to him . He had received the assistance of Feng Xueya and the rest . They had cleared the way for his dao, they had hidden him, and they had also helped to distract the opponent .
Thus, even though he had heard numerous cheers and the support of his fellow disciples, as well as seen the gazes that were burning with excitement, Wu Yu was similarly jubilant, but he did not relax . He knew that the beginning of this task would be easy and the true struggle had only just started!
He still had to kill four more demons and one ghostly cultivator .
"The Scarlet Sea's Seven Ghosts have lost three individuals but have not given up yet!" Wu Yu saw that the three tenth tier Qi Condensation ghostly cultivators had surrounded Wu Shengjun . Despite this, their positions left a gap . It was as though they were attempting to entice Wu Yu to attack . If Wu Yu were to attempt another assault, there was a chance he might not escape and there was a chance that he could! It was a risky position to attack from, but there was the possibility of success .
Meanwhile, on the Ninth Spirit's side, they had also arranged themselves in a formation . It was clear that their party was more relaxed . The Ninth Spirit moved as she pleased, and it was obvious that it would be a lot easier to strike a blow towards the demons .
"The other party has the Ninth Spirit protecting them . Although it looks like an easier opportunity, it’s countless times more scary! If I want to drive them out of the 10,000 Swords Formation, I have to start with killing Wu Shengjun!"
Perhaps the Scarlet Sea's Four Ghosts felt that with their tight, protective formation, Wu Yu might feel more inclined towards launching his assault onto the demons . Yet that was not the case . Under the protection of the 10,000 Swords Formation, he hid in the vicinity of the Scarlet Sea's Four Ghosts .
In just a blink, it was as though the world was blanketed in silence .
Everyone was keeping their eyes peeled in trepidation as they awaited any changes in the 10,000 Swords Formation . If Wu Yu succeeded, the three way alliance's strength would gradually diminish . Furthermore, the Heavenly Sword Sect would still be able to maintain control of the 10,000 Swords Formation . However, if Wu Yu made a mistake, Jiang Xie would be able to utilize Wu Yu in a trade when he fell into the hands of the enemy and receive concessions in this war .
It was clear that a single Wu Yu's worth exceeded that of a thousand Zhongyuan Dao Sect disciples!
"We cannot retreat . Even if Jiang Xie does not assist them, they still plan to destroy this 10,000 Swords Formation . Even if my life is wasted to prevent them from advancing, I can only fall here!" These were the true thoughts within Wu Yu's mind . It was his unwavering faith and belief .
Even if his belief was like a raging inferno, he had to act like a starving wolf, silently stalking within the woods! He had to be patient and await the most decisive moment to deliver the crucial blow!
His sole target was the one protected by the three ghostly cultivators at the 10th tier of the Qi Condensation Realm, Wu Shengjun!
Immediately after that last altercation, everyone's heartstrings had been stretched taut in fear .
However, time flowed by minute after minute with no further development . Like this, an hour passed . Everyone started to become impatient . Just why had this Wu Yu not struck yet? Just what was he waiting for? Could it be that he had stealthily left the 10,000 Swords Formation and returned back to the Heavenly Sword Sect?
Feng Xueya and the rest had used the formation to veil Wu Yu's position . It was entirely possible that Wu Yu had crept away under the cover of this large, mountain forest!
The ones who were fidgeting the most were the Scarlet Sea's Four Ghosts . They were hoping to bait Wu Yu into attacking them . To them, it was as though the fish that was Wu Yu had slinked away in front of their very eyes .
"Shall we compete to see who is more patient?" Tian Yijun gave a cold harrumph . He warned everyone to maintain their state of alertness . Even blinking was not acceptable .
This was a battle of the hunter against the hunted . Wu Shengjun was the bait and Wu Yu was the prey!
Time continued to tick . This heartstopping atmosphere had lasted until the dawn of the next day . Yet everyone still stayed calm and reserved despite Wu Yu not making any movements .
A day had passed . 12 two-hour periods .
"It seems possible that Wu Yu has already fled!"
"There is no movement whatsoever . How could this be?"
"Could he have just tricked us to stay put while he went to seek reinforcements?"
"It's very likely he did just that!"
The three tenth tier Qi Condensation individuals of the Scarlet Sea's Four Ghosts began to discuss the possibilities of what had happened .
During this period of time, Tian Yijun had beseeched Jiang Xie to return and catch Wu Yu . However, the moment Jiang Xie even so much as stepped into the formation, Night Wishes for Snow and the disciples with him would react . Without a second word, they had executed 10 disciples . Jiang Xie had only stepped into the formation for a breath's worth of time and 10 of his disciples had died . If he remained, they would kill till none were left!
Thus, Jiang Xie's fury rose to the heavens . However, all he could do was slink back out of the formation, defeated .
The clouds above roiled as the trees on the ground rustled in the wind, the leaves dancing amidst the breeze . All three parties began to bicker as time passed, and the atmosphere gradually became noisier .
"I feel that we have been taken for a ride by that Wu Yu! It has already been three days . Who knows where Wu Yu might have run to?"
