Volume 1: Rebellion in Chang'an Chapter 76: Instant Kill

"The only cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building in Feiyun Sect is here." Xiao Zhi pointed to the westernmost point on the layout sketch drawn by the green-eyed weasel.

"The other three points are where the other three foundation-building monks are."

Xu Hao stroked his chin stubble with his index finger. After thinking for a while, he said, "This mission is very simple. The slightly troublesome thing is that there are four mission targets, and they are distributed at four points with some distance. Once we start, the other three foundation-building cultivators will see what's going on. If they choose to escape, it will be quite troublesome for us to chase them. But it is not difficult to solve this problem. Our combat power is overwhelming these four foundation-building cultivators. So, we will divide into four groups and act at the same time. This way, it will be foolproof. Let me take care of the cultivator in the middle stage of foundation-building. Su Shu, you and Lu Qingshan will be responsible for the cultivator in the early stage of foundation-building in the north. Zhong Ming will be responsible for the target in the south. Li Zu, you and Xiao Zhi will be responsible for the target in the east."

"no problem."

"receive."

"OK."

Everyone had no objection to Xu Hao's judgment and decision, and they all responded.

With the strength of the Yinhu team, if it really comes to that, they can crush the four foundation-building monks of the Feiyun Sect with their eyes closed.

…

The entire Feiyun Sect is set up with two layers of magic arrays.

The first-level magic array is a comprehensive magic array that integrates the two functions of perception and early warning to prevent some monks with ill intentions.

The second layer of the magic circle is the highlight, which has the effect of defending the mountain gate. If it is opened, it will be impossible to attack it in a short time without spending a lot of effort.

Although the second-level magic circle is powerful, it requires a lot of spirit stones to start and run the magic circle.

Feiyun Sect is just a small sect, and one spirit stone has to be broken into two pieces to spend. It is not like the big sects with big businesses and can't afford these expenses.

Therefore, in most cases, the Feiyun Sect would only activate the first level of the formation, and the second level of the formation would remain idle all year round.

Only when the first layer of the formation issues a warning will the second layer of the formation be activated to defend against the enemy.

Xiao Zhi's green-eyed weasel wandered around the Feiyun Sect, but was not discovered by the formation at all.

It can be seen that, in fact, the perception and early warning capabilities of this first-level formation are not very strong.

The top leaders of Feiyun Sect naturally knew this fact, but some things cannot be changed just by knowing it.

——The Feiyun Sect only has such a small fortune, and cannot afford to squander the second-level magic circle all year round, so this is the only way.

…

The Yinhu team found a remote place outside the Feiyun Sect.

Su Shu lightly formed a magic seal with her fingers, silently activated her magic power, and a point of spiritual light condensed in the palm of her hand.

Then Su Shu pointed the spiritual light forward.

[Breaking the Forbidden Technique] is one of the signature auxiliary skills of spiritual cultivation. It is specially designed to break various forbidden barriers and formations. It can help cultivators sneak into many heavily guarded places silently.

Just like the flying sword technique for sword practitioners, the forbidden breaking technique is also one of the required skills for spiritual practitioners.

A burst of ethereal spiritual energy twisted and flickered.

The first-level magic circle of Feiyun Sect, which was not a high-grade magic circle to begin with, was like melting snow in winter. It was cracked by Su Shu without causing any ripples.

Looking at the entrance in front of him that could accommodate one person, Lu Qingshan nodded secretly.

This is the advantage of squad combat.

There are six major schools of monks, and the monks of each school have their own strengths.

For example, spiritual cultivation methods are mysterious, and all kinds of strange skills have endless uses, but the head-on combat ability is slightly inferior to other professions.

If fighting alone, this shortcoming would be extremely fatal, but if fighting in a team, spiritual cultivation can play to its strengths and avoid its weaknesses, and better exert its abilities.

Many seemingly complicated tasks can be easily accomplished if the monks of different schools play to their strengths and cooperate with each other.

Just like the scene in front of him, if Xu Hao were to carry out this mission alone, with his combat power, it would be no problem for him to fight against the four foundation-building monks of Feiyun Sect alone.

But the problem is that this task is not so easy to complete independently.

First of all, Xu Hao couldn’t get past the Feiyun Sect’s protective formation.

Once the top leaders of Feiyun Sect discover Xu Hao's whereabouts and activate the second level of defense formation, Xu Hao will have a headache for a long time.

Besides, the top leaders of Feiyun Sect are not the gatekeeper bosses waiting for you to kill them.

If the Feiyun Sect's top leaders chose to escape after activating the defensive formation, Xu Hao would be in a difficult situation.

Now, Team Yinhu, led by Xiao Zhi, sent out spirit beasts to find out the locations of the four foundation-building monks, and then Su Shu broke the formation, and everyone sneaked in quietly.

Find a good position, and once you make a move, it will be like thunder, unstoppable.

…

The six monks of the Yinhu team quickly drilled into the entrance of the formation that Su Shu broke open.

"Each of you go to the target cave, and take action together in a moment!" Xu Hao said in a deep voice.

Everyone nodded, then dispersed and headed towards their own target points.

Lu Qingshan and Su Shu are in a team, and although there is a bit of the feeling of old players leading newcomers, they can also be called a classic combination.

The main output sword cultivator is paired with an auxiliary type of spiritual cultivator. This is a classic combination that has been tested by time and is popular in many games.

The two of them went up the mountain. Although there were many Qi-refining disciples of the Feiyun Sect on the way, thanks to the ability of the foundation-building cultivators to project their spiritual thoughts, Su Shu and Lu Qingshan both discovered the traces of these low-level disciples in advance and avoided them very easily.

The Feiyun Sect is not big, and Lu Qingshan and Su Shu quickly arrived at the cave where their target was.

The two of them hid outside, waiting for the time agreed by Xu Hao.

…

After a moment, the moment was up.

Su Shu pursed her lips and said, "Do it!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Shu pointed her finger forward with a flash of light.

Breaking the forbidden technique!

It is impossible for a foundation-building cultivator's cave to be without a protective barrier.

However, Su Shu's forbidden-breaking technique could even break the Feiyun Sect's protective formation silently.

How could a barrier set up by a cultivator in the early stages of foundation building be stronger than a formation that one's own sect had spent a lot of effort to set up?

The barrier protecting the cave collapsed instantly.

At this moment, Lu Qingshan rushed into the cave with a sword in hand.

At the same time, Su Shu continued to chant magic spells, and two rays of light, one red and one yellow, almost instantly attached to Lu Qingshan's body and sword at the same time.

[Fire Collapse]: Causes the target's attacks to briefly inflict additional fire spell damage.

[Break Hard]: Grants the target magical weapon a temporary special effect of sharpness +2.

These are two auxiliary spiritual arts that can increase Lu Qingshan's damage.

Inside the cave.

The violent fluctuation of spiritual power startled Zhu Quan, a foundation-building cultivator who was practicing martial arts.

He subconsciously released his divine sense to investigate the situation, but found that his action seemed a bit redundant.

Because within his sight, a figure had come into view.

Then there was a flash of cold light.

This is the Soul-Shocking Skill of the Weeping Soul Sword, which has been ineffective so far.

This time is no exception.

Before losing consciousness briefly, Zhu Quan reacted quickly and performed a defensive spell.

A door-shaped shield made of thick rocks appeared between Lu Qingshan and Zhu Quan.

This is the mage's rock shield spell.

Judging from its thickness, the skill level must be quite high.

Lu Qingshan's expression remained unchanged.

The Soul-Crying Sword did not stop, the sword and the rock shield.

A line of frost appeared at the midpoint of the shield, and then the rock shield was cut in half, with the cut edges neat and without jagged edges.

The sharpness of the Soul-Crying Sword itself is increased by +1, and combined with the sharpness of the Hardness-Breaking Spirit Technique, it is increased by +2.

The thick rock shield was like paper and could not withstand the power of Lu Qingshan's Soul-Crying Sword.

After breaking through the rock shield and seeing that Zhu Quan's eyes had regained a bit of clarity, Lu Qingshan did not hold back. He mobilized his spiritual power and swung the Soul-Crying Sword to slash diagonally across Zhu Quan's neck.

Secret Sword: Cut the Wind!

Even Zhu Quan activated the spiritual power in his body at the first moment to form a spiritual power shield to resist Lu Qingshan's attack.

But it's no use anymore.

The spiritual power flowed from Lu Qingshan's Soul-Crying Sword and collided with the spiritual power at Zhu Quan's neck.

Without causing any ripples, Zhu Quan's spiritual shield quickly disappeared.

This is not only a difference in spiritual power, but also a qualitative crushing.

The spiritual power cultivated by [Guixu Sutra] cannot be compared with the spiritual power cultivated by ordinary exercises.

Two sword afterimages emerged.

A sudden flash of cold light cut off Zhu Quan's head.

When Su Shu followed Lu Qingshan into the cave, she only saw Zhu Quan's head flash in the air.

The head suddenly fell in front of Su Shu, rolled at her feet for a few times before stopping.

Su Shu opened her red lips slightly.
