Xu Gu instantly grasped everything that was happening on the battlefield.
The calculations of the forty bandits were clear to him.
"A plan within a plan? Before absolute strength, it's all useless effort," Xu Gu said indifferently.
several figures emerged, appearing beside Ninth, one of the forty bandits.
"Seventh, Twelfth, what are you doing here?"
Ninth asked, surprised.
"I've got a bad feeling, so I came to help you. Hurry up and set the fire, burn all these ancient trees. These trees are carefully cultivated by the Star-Space Locust Clan, their fumes are toxic once lit, and can poison all enemies on the field," Seventh said, rubbing his temples, somewhat nervously.
"You're overthinking it. We're hidden in the shadows, what danger could we be in? Besides, we're all here for this task! We even have the Boss backing us up!" Said Ninth nonchalantly.
"Maybe it's because that Xu Gu is too strong in the rumors," Seventh sighed, also feeling like he was second-guessing himself.
Mainly because the mysterious young man just now was too overwhelming.
It always made him feel like that mysterious young man was Xu Gu.
Although, in reality, the mysterious young man should not be young at all, but rather an old ancestor from some major power.
"Rumors stop with the wise," laughed Ninth, "who is Xu Gu? The hope of the Human Clan? He's just trash. If I had encountered him, he would have been dead hundreds of times by now," Ninth said with a cold laugh.
But just as his words fell, the scene suddenly quieted down.
As if reaching freezing point.
A dense killing intent filled the sky.
"Do you want to kill me?"
A voice, indifferent like an Immortal God King looking down on the world's ants, drifted lightly.
Seventh, Ninth, and Twelfth from the forty bandits all froze, trembling, as if they had fallen into an ice cave, their gaze unanimously fell forward.
Only to see, a figure of a man had appeared at some unknown time in front of them.
The figure was enveloped in Divine Light, utterly unrecognizable, but the aura was far too extraordinary, merely looking from afar was enough for their hearts to tremble.
"Such a terrifying presence!"
For a moment, they even felt as if they had seen a God!
"Damn it! It's the mysterious person who just made a move!"
Seventh quickly came to his senses and immediately spoke up.
"Who are you exactly?! We are the forty bandits!"
Ninth was panicked but not extremely terrified, as their men were nearby.
He wasn't too afraid.
"Who am I? Weren't you plotting to kill me?"
Xu Gu said with a faint smile.
All three shuddered at the thought, stepping back frantically, their eyes filled with intense fear.
"Are you... the legendary Xu Gu?"
"How is this possible!"
"No! It can't be! You can't be this strong!"
The three cried out in horror.
In fact, their minds were already blank, because Xu Gu's strength exceeded their imagination.
Xu Gu made no reaction.
Without saying anything, he simply extended a palm.
A palm that suppressed everything below.
As if the sky were collapsing.
Seventh was the most vigilant, shouting loudly.
In fact, even without his call,
Ninth and Twelfth also had drastic changes in expressions, turning around to flee.
It wasn't because they feared death, but they didn't want to die worthlessly!
The Combat Power Xu Gu just displayed was definitely that of a Middle Star Upper King!
They were merely Low Star Upper Kings.
In front of Xu Gu, weren't they just ants? Just the three of them, there was no way they could fight against Xu Gu.
Unless their Boss, along with Second, Sixth, and Eighth, were present, perhaps they would have the confidence to strike back, to attempt a counterattack.
"Thinking of escaping? Lightning Tornado Shield!"
Xu Gu said leisurely, with casual ease.
As he spoke, the surrounding void trembled, layers of runes flickered, and the entire sky was sealed off.
Trapping the three of them inside.
They instantly became utterly desperate, as if they had fallen into an endless Abyss.
No matter how they attacked, their efforts were futile.
To break the Domain of the three-star Divine Artifact, the Source of Creation, one needed significant strength, which was truly impossible without it.
The three bandits cursed angrily.
They were furious, having always been the ones to toy with their prey, but now they had become the prey themselves.
"Kid, let us go immediately!"
"Our boss is nearby!"
"Don't provoke us to slaughter you all!"
Old Nine, in despair at the barrier before him, gnashed his teeth and threatened Xu Gu.
As he spoke, his teeth were clenched, and his expression malevolent, like a fierce demon.
If an average person were to witness his appearance, they would be scared to death.
No sooner had he finished his words than his body burst apart.
His consciousness dissipated into the air.
"This... this..." Read full story at NoveI-Fire.ɴet
Old Seven and Old Twelve were both shocked, their minds disturbed, faces blank and terror-stricken.
"We hold the lives of your men in our hands; if you dare to kill us, then..."
Before Old Twelve could finish his words, a loud boom echoed through the void and his entire body exploded, dissipating into the air.
Blood-red rain began to fall from the sky.
Filled with a deadly aura.
"I am willing to submit! I am willing to reveal everything I know! My boss has also set up a scheme; it's a trap within a trap, you've already fallen for it, only I can lead you..."
Old Seven knelt down begging for mercy, crying and speaking with nervous trepidation.
At such times, loyalty was no longer important.
Survival was what mattered most.
Of course, in reality, he had no intention of truly serving Xu Gu. It was merely a stalling tactic.
As long as he could bring Xu Gu to his boss, Xu Gu would be like a lamb to the slaughter!
"Hahaha, a trap within a trap? Child's play," Xu Gu said indifferently.
With that, he waved his hand, and a terrifying force pressed down.
Seeing that Xu Gu had no intention of sparing him, since threatening resulted in death and pleading also led to death, why not fight back?
His aura surged, as Old Seven, being one of the top forty bandits, had some skills.
He didn't choose to clash head-on with Xu Gu but planned to self-destruct, attempting to harm Xu Gu even if it meant taking a heavy toll on himself.
His offensive, as flimsy as paper, was easily crushed by a casual slap from Xu Gu.
Then, a terrifying force slammed down.
Old Seven was like being crushed by a star, the dreadful force pulverizing his body, causing him to emit a pig-slaughtering scream.
Without any surprises.
His body turned to mush, his consciousness dissipated into the air.
"I really have no affection for traitors like you," Xu Gu said coldly: "Therefore, do you think it would be possible not to kill you?"
Having said that, his gaze turned to the distance.
"A trap within a trap? Childish tricks. Even if I gave you the chance to use them, what then?"
