Chapter 151: Rooting Out the Mastermind

~7 min read 1,389 words

Bai Wuqing's voice was terrified and shrill.

Hearing his cries, Nancheng Kong and the others instantly shut their mouths, exchanged glances, and looked at each other in dismay.

"I think I just heard Daoist Friend Bai calling for help!" Mu Xiao said, sounding somewhat uncertain.

"I think I heard it too." He Yaoguang hesitated for a moment.

Hearing the two men's words, Min Zhangkong, Luo Chen, and Nancheng Kong exchanged stiff-faced glances.

It seemed they had heard it too.

The next moment, the five of them turned their heads in unison and looked back into the battlefield.

They saw Wang Jianqiang's figure flash, appearing once again beside Bai Wuqing, and slamming a fist into his body.

A shrill scream erupted from Bai Wuqing's mouth, and his entire body was sent flying backward once more.

Blood sprayed across the sky along his path.

"I can't hold on much longer!"

"Come and save me quickly!"

Bai Wuqing's terrified and shrill cries for help came again.

The five were suddenly jolted awake by the sound and finally reacted.

"We didn't hear wrong, Daoist Friend Bai is truly calling for help!"

"Quick—hurry and save him!"

Min Zhangkong exclaimed and was the first to charge forward.

Nancheng Kong, Luo Chen, Mu Xiao, and He Yaoguang heard this and immediately snapped out of it.

"Go save Daoist Friend Bai!"

Expressions of urgency appeared on the faces of the four, and they followed closely behind Min Zhangkong as they charged out.

They were so nervous about Bai Wuqing's safety not because of loyalty.

It was because after witnessing Wang Jianqiang's formidable strength, they were somewhat afraid.

Bai Wuqing was the strongest combatant among them, leading by a wide margin.

He was the only one capable of blocking Wang Jianqiang's attacks head-on.

If Bai Wuqing lived, they might still have a chance to contend with Wang Jianqiang by joining forces.

If Bai Wuqing were killed, they would completely lose the capital to fight Wang Jianqiang.

By then, let alone capturing Wang Jianqiang, they wouldn't even be confident in escaping the North City District under Wang Jianqiang's retaliation.

At this moment, no one cared about saving face anymore.

Nancheng Kong and the others all unleashed their Magic Treasures, attacking Wang Jianqiang with all their might.

"Daoist Friend Wang, watch out!"

Seeing this scene, Tu Youyou and Mo Wuming hurriedly shouted a warning.

Wang Jianqiang frowned, pulled back, and dodged the five fierce incoming attacks.

Taking advantage of this moment, Bai Wuqing finally got a chance to catch his breath.

His figure flashed, and he retreated far away.

Thinking of his previous pathetic state, his expression became incredibly embarrassed.

However, having learned his lesson, he didn't dare to attack carelessly.

Instead, he stared cautiously at Wang Jianqiang, his expression revealing deep wariness: "You were actually able to block the rebounding power of the Shanshui Yunxiu Robe!"

"How on earth did you do it?"

Wang Jianqiang smiled at these words and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth: "You aren't the only one who possesses recovery abilities."

The reason he was able to hold on was naturally by relying on the powerful recovery ability of his Pure Yang Power.

Although Pure Yang Power was only a Platinum Grade Talent Divine Ability, it was not something a mere Golden Core Stage Magic Treasure could compare to.

As he spoke, the paleness on his face faded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The lingering injuries on his body recovered completely in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this scene, the hearts of Bai Wuqing and the others sank simultaneously.

It was one thing for his physical body to be strong, but for his recovery ability to be this powerful as well!

"Daoist Friend Bai, what should we do?"

Min Zhangkong looked at Bai Wuqing with a grave expression.

A cold glint flashed in Bai Wuqing's eyes: "His recovery ability is strong, but that doesn't mean he can maintain this recovery speed forever."

"Every ability has its limit."

"With so many of us, what are we afraid of?"

"As long as we exhaust this strange recovery power of his, he won't be able to stir up any more trouble."

Hearing Bai Wuqing's words, Min Zhangkong nodded.

The gloom in the hearts of the other four also dissipated entirely.

"Attack!"

At Bai Wuqing's command, everyone struck together, attacking Wang Jianqiang.

Facing the joint siege of the group.

Wang Jianqiang's gaze flickered, and he looked intentionally or unintentionally toward a patch of void in the distance.

A cold chill flashed in his eyes.

"Are you finally unable to resist jumping out?"

He withdrew his gaze, looked at the incoming Bai Wuqing and the others, and spoke in a calm tone.

"Since the culprit has been lured here, this play should come to an end."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, the offensive from Bai Wuqing and the others faltered in unison.

They began to feel somewhat suspicious and uncertain.

The next moment, Bai Wuqing gritted his teeth fiercely, "He is bluffing; with us joining forces, he will surely be unable to withstand it."

"Do not fear him, attack!"

As soon as the words fell, Spirit Light flared intensely on his body.

Hearing this, the others also gritted their teeth and continued their attack.

At the same time, Wang Jianqiang moved his mind and directly added 5000 Cultivation Points to his Years Sacred Body.

"Ding, Years Sacred Body upgrade successful. Current Spirit Pattern count: Dao."

As the system's response echoed out.

Wang Jianqiang's power surged instantly.

Under the amplification of Pure Yang Power and Dharma Heaven and Earth, it reached the level of Dao Spirit Pattern Power!

He threw a punch.

A fist force far exceeding the previous one surged toward Bai Wuqing and the others like a tidal wave, covering the sky and earth.

Nancheng Kong, Luo Chen, Min Zhangkong, Mu Xiao, and He Yaoguang, the five of them, had not the slightest power to resist; they instantly spat blood and were sent flying far away.

They flew for a full hundred zhang before crashing to the ground in a sorry state, unable to get up for a time.

Bai Wuqing held on for only a moment longer than the five, then also spat blood and was sent flying backward.

Although he had the protection of the Mountain Water Cloud Embroidery Skirt, only twenty percent of the force penetrated his body.

Yet it still left him heavily injured, his face turning deathly pale.

Bai Wuqing scrambled up from the ground in a sorry state, looking at Wang Jianqiang in horror, unable to believe it.

How did his strength suddenly become so much stronger!

Could it be that he had been hiding his strength all along?

Wang Jianqiang's face turned pale for an instant, then, under the circulation of Pure Yang Power, it recovered as before in the blink of an eye.

He glanced at Bai Wuqing indifferently, his gaze pausing for a moment on the Shanshui Yunxiu Robe on his body.

The power of this Magic Treasure is indeed astonishing.

"If you don't want to die, stay here."

He glanced at Bai Wuqing indifferently again, then looked at the five people lying on the ground.

As soon as the words fell, his figure turned, and he shot out at an astonishing speed.

Seeing this, Bai Wuqing and the others looked at each other.

They all revealed expressions of astonishment, not knowing what Wang Jianqiang was going to do.

"Let's wait and see for now."

Bai Wuqing gave a bitter smile, "He had been hiding his strength; with his true strength, killing us would be easy."

"It is better to try not to provoke him again."

Hearing this, the other five nodded with bitter expressions.

At the same time.

Wang Jianqiang had already appeared several miles away.

"You hiding, skulking thing, get out here!"

As his cold voice echoed, he smashed a punch into the void ahead.

Whoosh!

The void twisted, and a figure flashed out, dodging this punch from Wang Jianqiang.

The figure that appeared from the void was a handsome young man.

He had a pair of narrow eyes, giving people a sense of effeminacy.

After dodging Wang Jianqiang's punch, he frowned at Wang Jianqiang, a look of surprise flashing across his effeminate face.

"You can actually see through my concealment technique!"
