Chapter 356: Nangong Yu's Predicament

"Of course you can."

Hearing Jiang Xuan's request, Wang Jianqiang laughed.

His smile was warm, making one feel as if bathed in a spring breeze.

Jiang Xuan's strength was not considered weak.

If he could join the team, their team's strength would become even more formidable.

Hunting Old Students would also be easier.

Naturally, he would not refuse such a good thing.

"Next, let's continue hunting."

Wang Jianqiang looked at the women and smiled.

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Jiang Xuan was stunned.

Hunting?

Isn't the goal to leave this Yingxin Gorge as soon as possible?

Seeing the confusion on Jiang Xuan's face, Wang Jianqiang smiled, "Old Students can plunder the treasures on New Students, so naturally, we can also plunder the treasures on them."

"They have cultivated in the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace for so many years; each one of them is wealthy."

"With such a good opportunity, it would be a pity not to rob them."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Jiang Xuan was dumbfounded.

The Old Students are all powerful, and there are even figures like Aofanyu among them.

Can it be done?

He felt a wave of worry in his heart.

But seeing that Wang Jianqiang was so confident, he ultimately chose to believe him.

Afterwards, Wang Jianqiang transformed into Mu Wei again.

He led the women to continue searching.

They maintained the same formation: Wang Jianqiang in front using his Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze to scout the situation, while the women hid their presence, trailing far behind to provide support at any time.

While Wang Jianqiang and the others continued to search for Old Students.

The Old Students were also constantly attacking the New Students.

Disciplining the New Students was a task they had to complete.

As for plundering, it was merely an implicit benefit not acknowledged by the Immortal Palace.

If they were to give up disciplining the New Students for the sake of plundering.

It was very likely they would be judged as having failed the mission and face punishment from the Immortal Palace.

Therefore.

Although they very much wanted to find Wang Jianqiang as soon as possible, they could not turn a blind eye to the other New Students.

Furthermore.

Although these New Students' Space Rings did not contain Desolate Beads, their other resources were quite substantial.

If they could seize them, it would also be a decent income.

Boom!

Amidst a roaring sound.

A young man, face full of astonishment, retreated several steps.

After steadying his figure, he looked up at the beautiful woman in the golden dress with golden hair opposite him, his face full of shock.

A New Student had actually managed to force him back in a direct confrontation!

Although he had only retreated three steps while the other party had retreated over ten zhang.

This was still enough to shock him.

One must know, the other party's cultivation was only at the Nascent Soul Late Stage!

Nangong Yu stared at the young man opposite her.

Her brows were slightly furrowed.

Previously, she had encountered a very strong Old Student and had only managed to escape from his hands with great difficulty.

She had not expected to run into another one.

However, this person was clearly not as strong as the previous one and was not impossible to contend with.

Thinking of this.

A faint golden radiance suddenly radiated from her body.

A head of long golden hair broke free from the restraint of her hair tie and danced backwards.

The next moment.

She clenched a delicate fist and threw a punch through the air.

A dazzling golden beam of light shot out, appearing instantly in front of the young man.

The young man's expression tightened.

He hurriedly gathered his power and threw a punch of his own.

The Golden Fist Energy was shattered.

His body could not help but tremble.

He could not help but curse under his breath.

This punch was actually even stronger than the previous strike!

Whoosh!

At the same time, Nangong Yu had already appeared beside him with astonishing speed.

Her fist looked like it was merely swung simply.

In reality, it had fused multiple powerful attack Techniques.

Simplifying the complex, merging them into one.

This method of combat has extremely high requirements for physical strength.

Without a powerful physical body, forcibly using this method to fight would only cause the body to collapse.

Before injuring the enemy, one would already be unable to endure it.

Yet Nangong Yu's expression remained normal, and she was handling it with ease while using this means.

The strength of her physique could be seen from this.

She had delicate features and a slender, graceful figure.

But her offensive style was bold and unrestrained.

It had a sense of dominance and grandeur that could swallow mountains and rivers.

As her fist swung.

Powerful force raged.

Directly clashing with this Old Student who had Manifested Will, she actually did not fall into a disadvantage!

"Tsk tsk, truly astonishing!"

"Among the New Students, there is actually such a powerful person!"

"Hou Ming, do you want me to help?"

Just as the two were locked in a great battle.

A voice suddenly came.

The sudden voice caused the two people in the middle of the fight to reveal looks of vigilance at the same time.

Nangong Yu's figure flickered, putting distance between herself and the young man.

She looked up.

Unbeknownst to them, a figure had already appeared in mid-air.

Sensing the Will Power on this person.

Nangong Yu frowned.

This person was clearly also an Old Student.

At the same time.

The young man called Hou Ming looked up, and upon seeing the person in the air, his expression shifted.

"Luo Hu, this person is a fish I discovered first."

A look of wariness flashed across Hou Ming's face.

Luo Hu curled his lips, "This person is powerful; the Desolate Bead on her body has likely not been taken by Wang Jianqiang."

"It is reasonable that you would have the thought of keeping it all for yourself."

"But, are you sure you can handle her alone?"

Hou Ming's expression flickered.

Seeing this, Luo Hu smiled, "How about this, you and I join forces, and we split the harvest fifty-fifty."

"Impossible!"

Hou Ming didn't even think about it and shook his head directly, "Forty percent at most."

"Deal." Luo Hu pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Hearing the two of them distributing the resources on her body right in front of her.

Nangong Yu's expression turned cold.

However, she was very clear.

Being able to contend with one person was already her limit.

Once besieged by two people, it would be very dangerous.

Thinking of this, she turned directly into a Golden Light and flew toward the distant horizon.

"Want to escape?"

"Did you ask me, Luo?"

Luo Hu chuckled and waved his palm.

A streak of Spirit Light shot into the sky.

A layer of light curtain instantly spread in all directions, sealing off an area of over ten miles in the blink of an eye.

Nangong Yu's figure paused.

Looking at the light curtain in front of her, her expression changed.

Wang Jianqiang was flying through the canyon.

Suddenly, he saw the scene of a streak of Spirit Light rushing into the sky and turning into a light curtain.

His figure paused, and a look of surprise flashed across his face.

An Array?

His expression shifted.

He moved toward the area covered by the Formation.

……

In another direction.

An Old Student casually shattered the Black and White Dao Domain covering the heavens and earth.

He looked at the Spirit Light that had shot up into the sky.

"Huh?"

"Is that Luo Hu's Prison Heaven Spirit Array?"

"Who could it be, to actually force him to use this array?"

"Could it be Wang Jianqiang?"

Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He looked at the figure fleeing into the distance.

He struck out with a palm.

A massive hand of Spiritual Power descended, swatting that figure down from the sky, causing them to crash heavily onto the ground.

Puchi!

Mo Wuming spat out a mouthful of blood, his aura instantly becoming weak.

Immediately after, his vision blurred.

That Old Student had already appeared by his side.

"To be able to take two moves from me, Tian Yu, with a Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivation, your strength is considered quite decent."

He glanced at Mo Wuming indifferently.

With a casual beckon.

He pulled the Space Ring from Mo Wuming's finger into his palm.

He swept it with his Spirit Sense.

He then revealed a look of pleasant surprise.

Desolate Beads!

The Desolate Beads on this person had actually not been snatched away by that Wang Jianqiang!

From entering Yingxin Gorge until now, he had already encountered over a dozen New Students.

This was his first time obtaining Desolate Beads.

He couldn't help but feel a bit excited inside.

Following that, he calmed down again.

It was all that damned Wang Jianqiang's fault.

Being so greedy, he had almost completely plundered the Desolate Beads from all the examinees in Desolate City.

Otherwise, how would they, these Old Students, be struggling so bitterly as they were now?

Finding even a single Desolate Bead was difficult?

Thinking of Wang Jianqiang, he couldn't help but look at the light screen in the sky once more.

He had no time to continue paying attention to this New Student before him.

He leaped up.

And flew toward the direction of the Array.

……

"Puchi~"

Di spat out a mouthful of blood.

Looking at the person in front, his expression turned gloomy.

"You are an Old Student of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, what ability is there in bullying a New Student like me?"

"Give me ten years, and I will defeat you as easily as slaughtering a dog!"

"Quite arrogant, aren't you."

Hearing Di's words, Chen Li smiled.

He charged forward again.

After a series of crackling sounds, Di collapsed to the ground covered in wounds.

His aura was faint, and he was too weak to even speak.

"Still going to be stubborn?"

Chen Li chuckled and casually took away Di's Storage Ring.

He inspected it.

His eyes suddenly lit up.

So many Desolate Beads!

There were also cultivation resources and various treasures.

"You fellow have quite a rich net worth."

Ignoring Di's murderous gaze, he happily gathered all the items from the ring into his own Space Ring.

Just as he was thinking of saying a few more words to Di.

In the distance.

A streak of Spirit Light suddenly shot into the sky.

"Luo Hu's Prison Heaven Spirit Array?"

His expression shifted, and he looked at Di, "Consider yourself lucky."

After saying this, he flew up into the air.

He flew toward the direction of the Array.

……

About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn later.

Wang Jianqiang appeared at the edge of the Array.

Because he was worried about alerting the owner of the Array, he did not touch the Array directly.

Instead, he activated his Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze to look inside the Array.

Under the gaze of the Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze, the Array, which possessed the effect of shielding sight, instantly became translucent.

Immediately following, Wang Jianqiang saw the scene inside the Array.

Inside the Array.

Two men were joining forces to attack a woman.

When he saw the woman's appearance clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Nangong Yu?

The person being attacked by the two men was Nangong Yu!

What surprised him was not meeting Nangong Yu here, but Nangong Yu's strength!

Those two men had both already Manifested Will Power, clearly being Old Students of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace.

The strength of the two was not weaker than Mu Wei and Song Shan.

Under the joint attack of the two and the suppression of the Array.

Nangong Yu had actually not been defeated quickly.

This strength was truly exaggerated!

However, Nangong Yu's current condition was not good.

It could even be said that it was already very critical.

The aura on her body was fluctuating greatly, her face was pale, and it was clear she could not hold on for much longer.

Wang Jianqiang shifted his gaze.

Relying on his Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze, he quickly found the weak point of the Array.

He fully activated Dharma Heaven and Earth and Pure Yang Power.

He condensed Spirit Pattern Power, Five Elements Spirit Power, and Spirit Flame Power into a single point, and smashed his fist into the weak point of the Array.

This Array was very strong.

Under normal circumstances, Wang Jianqiang would not have been able to shake it at all.

But under this attack on its weak point, the Array shattered instantly.

At the moment the Array shattered.

The power of the Array that had been suppressing Nangong Yu vanished instantly, and the circulation of Spiritual Power within her body immediately became smooth.

Her speed suddenly increased.

With a flash of her figure, she dodged the two men's attack and retreated far away.

Hou Ming and Luo Hu did not continue to pursue Nangong Yu.

Sensing that the Array had shattered, both of their expressions tightened, and they turned their heads to look at Wang Jianqiang.

"Mu Wei!"

Upon seeing Wang Jianqiang, the expressions of the two shifted.

Immediately after, Luo Hu realized what had happened, his expression turning ugly, "Mu Wei, what is the meaning of this? You dare to violate the rule that Old Students are not allowed to fight each other, and break my Array."

"Are you not afraid that I will report you once I return to the Immortal Palace?"

Wang Jianqiang spread his hands helplessly, "Brother Luo, Mu did not know beforehand that this Array was set up by you; I thought it was some New Student."

"It was just an unintentional act, I had no intention of deliberately making an enemy of you."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Luo Hu's expression stalled.

He was not familiar with Mu Wei.

It was truly possible that the other party did not recognize his Prison Heaven Spirit Array.

Thinking of this.

His expression flickered, "You forcibly broke Luo's Prison Heaven Spirit Array, causing damage to my Array; do you think a simple 'unintentional act' will settle it?"

"Brother Luo, there is no need to be anxious. It was Mu's fault for rashly breaking the Array; Mu will compensate you."

Wang Jianqiang smiled, took out a Space Ring, and sent it before Luo Hu, "Inside this are one thousand Intermediate Desolate Beads; that should be enough to offset the cost of Brother Luo repairing the Array."

Luo Hu's eyes lit up, and he immediately took the Space Ring.

Hou Ming, who was to the side, looked at the Space Ring in Luo Hu's hand with a face full of envy.

The loss from repairing the Prison Heaven Spirit Array was at most equivalent to three hundred Intermediate Desolate Beads.

Luo Hu had made a huge profit.

Just as the attention of both men was focused on the Space Ring, Nangong Yu's mood had completely sunk to the bottom.

Now she was seriously injured, and the number of Old Students eyeing her covetously had increased from two to three.

It seemed it was destined to be difficult to escape.

Just at this moment.

A voice suddenly transmitted into her mind.

"Attack Luo Hu immediately."

She was stunned.

Immediately after, Mu Wei, who had just been chatting with Luo Hu with a friendly face, suddenly threw a punch at Luo Hu.

Luo Hu was in the middle of examining the Space Ring.

The only remaining shred of his attention was placed on Nangong Yu, and he had no defenses at all against Wang Jianqiang.

He was struck in the chest by Wang Jianqiang's punch.

The fist force, which combined three layers of power, erupted.

It sent him flying directly.

The direction he flew happened to be where Nangong Yu was standing.

Seeing this scene, Nangong Yu instantly snapped back to reality.

Dazzling Golden Light welled up on her delicate fist.

She struck Luo Hu with a punch.

Luo Hu's protective Spiritual Power had already been scattered by Wang Jianqiang.

This punch landed solidly.

Crack!

Amidst the sound of cracking bones, Luo Hu's face instantly turned deathly pale, a mouthful of blood sprayed out, and he was sent flying far away.

He was directly beaten into a state of serious injury, and his aura became extremely weak.

Hou Ming had originally been envious of Luo Hu's good luck, watching with a face full of envy as Luo Hu checked the Space Ring in his hand.

Immediately following that, he saw Luo Hu get sent flying.

The sudden turn of events caused his thinking to freeze for an instant.

He looked at "Mu Wei" in astonishment.

He seemed unable to believe that Mu Wei would make a move against them.
