Chapter 306: 305: The Possibility of Forming a Team!
He quickly asked: “Du Gang, what’s the current situation?”
“Keep going, pull out another hundred kilometers, then kill them!”
Du Gang answered while sprinting.
He had limited time to use the Jie-Character Secret, and he couldn’t outrun the pursuers just by his speed alone. Therefore, he generally divided the Jie-Character Secret into ten parts, each use opening a large gap in distance.
“Understood!”
After receiving Du Gang’s affirmation, Kou Yingwu became much more excited. If it were not for Du Gang’s obstruction, Kou Yingwu would have wanted to kill those guys behind him earlier. Now, the opportunity had finally arrived!
Soon, the group of people pursued and chased, and finally stopped only after covering a hundred kilometers.
“Haha, finally can’t run anymore?!”
The twenty something people who’ve come after them showed no hesitation; they were all ecstatic, looking at Du Gang and others like a piece of meat on a chopping board.
But soon, they noticed something strange.
“Why are they so calm?”
Someone raised an eyebrow, a foreboding sense emerged in their hearts.
The five people surrounded by more than twenty others did not show any fear. On the contrary, they showed a hint of cruelty.
This expression was akin to a big bad wolf donning the Little Red Riding Hood, finally shedding his disguise and revealing his savage nature.
Especially Kou Yingwu, who bore a cannibalistic expression, as if they were the most delicious delicacies in his eyes!
“Gulp.”
A middle-rank God who’s cultivation was only in the fourth tribulation stage impulsively swallowed his saliva.
“Heh heh!”
At this moment, Lan Zhize was staring at those who had just besieged him, exposing a cold laugh.
“Attack!”
Du Gang didn’t have the desire to talk with these people, and directly gave the order.
Instantly, all five of them set out.
Originally, each body seemed on its last legs, as if they would collapse the next second, but at this moment, they exerted a tremendous power.
“Ten thousand combat power!”
The leading God stared at Kou Yingwu’s explosive aura, surprised.
He didn’t expect Kou Yingwu to have such a reserve of energy for sudden release!
But at this moment, the scene that surprised him even more unfolded.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Apart from Kou Yingwu, several others also released their aura one after another.
“The second with over ten thousand combat power…”
“The third…”
“The fourth…”
The others were speechless. The five people they’ve surrounded all released more than ten thousand combat power.
Furthermore, the leading God gave everyone a more terrifying feeling, as if they were an ancient beast.
“Could his combat power exceed twenty thousand?”
Everyone stared at Kou Yingwu in shock, speechless.
Twenty thousand combat power, it was a level even a Main God couldn’t reach!
“Du Gang, how about my combat power?”
Kou Yingwu showed a slight smile and turned his head to ask Du Gang.
This sentence was very abrupt. There were still more than twenty people around, but he seemed to ignore them. Instead, he had a casual conversation with Du Gang.
Du Gang squinted, contemplating Kou Yingwu’s loaded words.
Almost without hesitation, he smiled and nodded, “Captain, your strength is formidable. I’ve only seen one person in the Nine Tribulations God Spirit stage with a combat power over 20,000, and that’s you.”
Indeed, even though he was in the Ancient City, he had never seen a fight involving other Nine Tribulation Gods, so he had no idea whether those so-called Holy Sons, or the young patriarchs of various races, would be capable of such a level.
“You know what I mean…”
Kou Yingwu said softly. This time, he became somewhat stern.
Du Gang coughed lightly and nodded: “Of course, if there’s a chance in the future, we can trust each other as comrades!”
Upon hearing this promise, Kou Yingwu finally smiled and said: “I’ve heard that in Heavenly Court, there is a team formation order that allows to form teams freely. This time when I return, I will start researching this, and when the time comes, I hope you can join my team!”
A team formation order?
Du Gang was slightly taken aback, then quickly understood. It was well-known that entering the same small world with familiar people was better than with strangers. You wouldn’t have to understand a new person, or waste too much energy guarding against potential threats.
He nodded seriously: “Of course, I look forward to becoming an official teammate with you!”
This was his sincere feeling. Both Kou Yingwu’s background and strength met his qualifications for being a teammate. Therefore, teaming up with him was completely acceptable.
“Hey, hey, continue like this, and they will run!”
At this point, Lan Zhize shouted out dissatisfaction.
In their surroundings, the people awed by Kou Yingwu’s aura had already begun to retreat quietly, ready to flee at any time.
And Lan Zhize’s voice was like the gunshot on a track, immediately activating everyone’s footsteps.
“Run!”
It was unknown who shouted. The more than twenty people who were previously surrounded, devoid of any intention to resist, dispersed and fled at that moment.
“Don’t let them escape!”
Du Gang hurriedly cried out.
Before the chosen one is revealed, he needs to ensure these people die in order to further reduce the area.
In fact, in his heart, he had another worry: whether the chosen one would be completely concealed by the will of the world…
“Don’t worry!”
Kou Yingwu smiled faintly, his face full of smiles. It was evident that he was very pleased after receiving Du Gang’s affirmation.
“Thousands of Horses Stampede!”
Kou Yingwu, who was previously all smiles, suddenly glared, and a terrifying aura emerged.
Next, he let out a furious roar, and employed a tactic he had never shown before in front of others.
“Buzz, buzz, buzz!”
The originally desolate grassland suddenly seemed to be a tunnel for ghost soldiers at this moment, with a chill wind and ghost fire in abundance.
Phantom battle horses with black death aura and burning ghost fires materialized out of thin air.
The backs of these phantom beasts were empty, but at this moment, they seemed to understand Kou Yingwu’s command, and they all quickened their pace, issuing a howl from the netherworld, and chased after the twenty-odd fleeing Seven Gods Palace gods.
“Hiss, hiss, hiss!”
The sound waves produced by the stampede of horses transformed into threads, splattering blood across the earth.
In the distance, the twenty-odd divine spirits seemed to have been literally trampled upon by thousands of horses. Their bodies exploded, and not a trace remained. Within moments, they were all dead or injured, completely eradicated.
“Damn!”
Jia Xiangming watched the scene in front of him and gasped in astonishment.
Not just him, the other three, even Du Gang, felt a cold shiver down their sparines, unintentionally closing the distance between themselves and Kou Yingwu.
The sheer power emanating from these ghosts from the underworld was so overwhelming, it was hard for him to even stand.
“Withdraw!”
Kou Yingwu, looking pale and feeble, barely managed to get the word out.
Next second, all the underworld warhorses on the field vanished without a trace, as if they never existed.
Withdraw?
Du Gang started pondering it.
Normally, no matter whether it is Yellow Grade cultivation method, Heavenly Grade, or even secret techniques, they’re all irreversible once deployed.
There’s barely the concept of retracting them.
But Kou Yingwu had just used this term ‘withdraw’.
This suggested that this move of his might be somewhat special.
Could it be…
Suddenly, a possibility struck him.
Could it be that these underworld warhorses have truly been summoned by Kou Yingwu from another world?
“Cough Cough, Captain, remember to include me when you form your team!”
At this moment, thick-skinned Lan Zhize felt no hesitation in voicing his desire to join in, seeing Kou Yingwu’s show of power.
Kou Yingwu shrugged, “With your current abilities, I’m not sure that you’d make the cut…”
It was clear that he didn’t think much of Lan Zhize.
Lan Zhize was left speechless, “Isn’t Du Gang’s cultivation lower than mine…”
But he knew in his heart that Du Gang’s value didn’t lie in his power, but rather in his intelligence.
He was a rare brains-of-the-operation kind of guy, one of the few wise men.
Moreover, Du Gang himself also had a combat power of over ten thousand, such talent is hard to find!
To the side, Tao Xuanzhu, who had been silent all along, seemed lost in thought.
She was reflecting on her previous state in other task worlds.
It was clear that no matter what the task was, the difficulty was always high, and some tasks were like unsolvable puzzles, very cumbersome and daunting.
But this time, she did not feel such anxiety.
Because of… Du Gang!
She turned her head to look at him because his presence made this mission seem extremely simple!
She quickly made her decision, looked at Kou Yingwu, and said, “Captain, can Xuan Zhu join your team?”
“You?”
Kou Yingwu was surprised that this celestial fairy-like figure would also make such a request.
However, he didn’t let this outward factor distract him. Instead, he seriously considered Tao Xuanzhu’s usefulness and strength.
At this time, Du Gang who was standing to one side asked, “What’s your upper limit of combat power?”
Since he was going to form a team with Kou Yingwu, he naturally had to personally vet the potential team members.
Upon hearing Du Gang’s question, Kou Yingwu’s face relaxed. He had forgotten that he already had a tactician on his team, and that he should be the one to handle such matters!
Tao Xuanzhu didn’t mind Du Gang’s tone and sincerely answered, “My regular combat power is about eleven thousand, in a normal fight I can reach twenty thousand…”
She glanced at Kou Yingwu, and calmly added, “If my life is in danger and I burn my source to explode, my combat power can reach up to thirty thousand!”
Damn!
Kou Yingwu was shocked and looked at her with disbelief.
He had not expected that this woman, who seemed to be just a pretty face, would have such strength.
Was she lying or was it the truth?
All four of them had this question in mind.
Among them, Du Gang was the first to brush aside the doubts since he believed that ‘true gold fears no fire’. If she dared to make such a claim, it must mean she truly had such strength.
He quickly calculated Tao Xuanzhu’s combat power and deduced that her Heavenly Level Cultivation Method was 4% complete, only 1% away from the God Spirit Level she could cultivate!
Incredible!
He silently praised her in his heart.
In fact, Tao Xuanzhu’s sword flying ability alone would have been enough to be his teammate.
When he questioned her about her strength, it was more out of habitual curiosity and to test her honesty. He had not expected her to reveal such astonishing information.
Good heavens, he had struck gold!
Du Gang was ecstatic. With two members whose combat power could exceed twenty thousand after they reach their peak, his own safety was going to be significantly boosted.
“Are you guys serious?”
Lan Zhize, who had been quietly watching from the side, looked dumbfounded and asked with a twitching mouth.
Du Gang knew enough about Lan Zhize’s character to think him to be a potential teammate.
So, he turned his head and asked, “Lan Zhize, what’s your strength? Use Tao Xuanzhu’s model just now: Regular combat power, peak explosion, and seed explosion!”
Lan Zhize sighed, “My regular combat power is only seven thousand, explosion is only fifteen thousand, as for seed explosion, I don’t have that capability. Even if I want to fight to death, I can’t summon such power…”
Indeed, like Tao Xuanzhu said, flipping your strength by fighting to death is not something ordinary people can do, otherwise, the world would have been in chaos long ago.
Du Gang didn’t have such a method either. Observing Kou Yingwu and Lan Zhize’s reactions, he found that they didn’t seem to have the capability of a seed explosion either.
Only Jia Xiangming, he couldn’t read him very well.
This guy was too good at pretending. Even though he pretended to have an expression similar to Lan Zhize’s, Du Gang had a strong sense of distrust towards him.
“What about me?”
Jia Xiangming snickered, “Du Gang, aren’t you going to ask me whether I am going to join the team?”
Du Gang shook his head, “The purpose of setting up a team is to make the combined power of everyone greater than the sum of their individual strengths, not less than that…”
“Even if I forcibly let you join, I might have to spend time on guarding against you. Not worth it…”
He stared long and hard at Jia Xiangming, suggesting, “Those who disagree on principles will not get along; perhaps, you could form your own team that aligns with your values…”
“Form my own team?”
Jia Xiangming muttered to himself but said nothing more.
Kou Yingwu didn’t say anything when he saw that Du Gang wasn’t accepting Jia Xiangming into the team. Instead, he turned his attention towards Du Gang and asked, “What’s our next move?”
“We go back!”
Du Gang said without hesitation, “The real drama is just beginning in the valley. We should sneak back and lay in ambush. When their battle reaches its climax… we can round them all up in one fell swoop!”
“Great!”
Everyone in the scene nodded their heads. One after the other, filled with excitement, they proceeded stealthily towards the valley.
At the end of the team, Du Gang watched Jia Xiangming’s retreating figure with a slightly dazed expression.
For some reason, when Tao Xuanzhu and the others reported their combat power, he had seen a faint trace of disdain in Jia Xiangming’s seemingly disguised eyes.
As if the power of thirty thousand was of no value in his eyes.
Thinking about this, Du Gang started to secretly calculate.
What if Jia Xiangming had reached the Nine Tribulation God Spirit level and was hiding his cultivation level?
What if he mastered the Heavenly Level Cultivation Method and was 5% complete?
What if he had a secret technique that could make him explode?
Just slightly pondering these thoughts made Du Gang break out in a cold sweat.
Because if all these ‘what ifs’ were true, then none of them on the scene could compete with him, not even if they joined forces!
And Jia Xiangming… he was a man who was a blend of righteousness and evilness, extremely unpredictable, capable of doing all sorts of unimaginable things.
Therefore…
Just as Du Gang was staring at the back of Jia Xiangming’s head, he suddenly turned back and gave Du Gang a deeply meaningful smile.
It was creepy!
