Chapter 34: The Might of the Ten Extremes Body
When Long Xuan walked into that stretch of gravel road, the Heavenly Mechanism Eye quickly scanned a few Gu insects resembling gravel lying on the road.
After magnifying through the Heavenly Mechanism Eye, the progress also appeared above the heads of these few Gu insects. Long Xuan became even more certain that those were not gravel, but Stone Gu resembling gravel. His heart skipped a beat, and he realized the situation was not good.
Basically, he was the only one on the road to Big Stone Village. He didn't have the wishful thinking that this was prepared for someone else. He understood that he had most likely been targeted.
He cursed inwardly. He had never made enemies with anyone, so why would he be ambushed? Could it be that he sold too many things?
But the things he sold were all within a controllable range. Upper Grade Spirit Insects were just materials; they could be traded for with Spirit Stones and weren't hard to collect. Who didn't have a few Upper Grade Spirit Insects?
Which of the things Di Xin sold wasn't more expensive than his? Why didn't they all go look for her?
Long Xuan sighed inwardly. To collect resources, one must sell resources; otherwise, did he expect others to give them to him for free? It was impossible for wealth not to leak out at all; even if he only bought and never sold, he would likely be targeted if he spent too many Spirit Stones.
He would definitely not stop trading resources with others in the future; otherwise, the Gu Formulas he created were each more expensive than the last. Where would he collect so many resources? If he went to rob, how would that be any different from dealing with the current situation?
Since there was no solution, he could only meet the situation as it came.
Long Xuan took a deep breath, cursing inwardly that Li Laodao was truly harmful. The things he sold for harming people were actually used on him.
Although he was not calm inwardly at this moment, there was no change in his expression on his face. He continued humming his little tune, looking to be in a very good mood.
He pretended to deviate from the route unintentionally, just missing the location where the Stone Gu were ambushed.
He would just wait until he finished detouring to immediately rush into Big Stone Village at the fastest speed. With Long Lao sitting there, it was enough to ensure he would be foolproof.
However, his actions didn't fool the few people lying in ambush here at all. That female loose cultivator shouted out: "Not good! We've been seen through!"
The three of them immediately jumped out of the grass and blocked Long Xuan's path.
Upon seeing the familiar face of the female loose cultivator, Long Xuan exclaimed: "So it was you!"
His face turned pale and then green. At the Treasure Exchange Meeting, he had thought for a long time about who the unlucky ghost targeted by her would be, never expecting that the unlucky ghost would be himself. The sound-isolation array disk she bought was actually prepared for him. Truly, world affairs were unpredictable.
Long Xuan cursed inwardly. This Di Xin was also harmful. The sound-isolation array disk traded away was actually used on him. This was a big trouble. With the sound-isolation array, don't even think about waiting for the rescue of the Market Guardian; he could only rely on himself.
"It's me! Since you know we have a sound-isolation array disk, then obediently hand over all the wealth on your body and all the Gu insects under blood contract. We guarantee to only rob wealth and not harm lives."
Considering that Long Xuan had the hard-to-kill Cockroach Gu, even three against one probably wouldn't be enough to kill him in a short time, so the female loose cultivator didn't make a move right away.
If she could really trick him into handing over the Cockroach Gu, she could solve him without any effort.
Long Xuan certainly wouldn't believe her nonsense. He looked at the two people behind her and found that they were all Spirit Gathering Late Stage Gu cultivators. It was three against one again, and he didn't know if the Ten Extremes Body could handle it.
"To fight me, a tiny Spirit Gathering Mid Stage Gu cultivator, you actually have to send out three Spirit Gathering Late Stage experts. Are you that unconfident in your own strength? Bullying the small with the big is one thing, but to bully the few with the many—isn't this a bit too much?"
Long Xuan tried to use a provocation tactic to stimulate them. If they couldn't withstand the stimulation and came up one by one to duel, that would be the best. With the fierce combat power of the Ten Extremes Body, the odds of winning would be very high.
However, the opposite side was clearly not some brainless villain. His words didn't stimulate them at all.
"Hehe! You make me laugh. We just like to bully the few with the many. Predict the enemy generously, right? Your Cockroach Gu has a fierce reputation, so we dare not be the slightest bit careless," the female loose cultivator chuckled lightly.
"You like to bully the few with the many? What a coincidence, I also like to bully the few with the many."
Long Xuan smiled and clapped his hands. Five clones immediately split from his body, surrounding the three people opposite.
Adding his main body, there were a total of six Long Xuans at this moment, which was just enough to form a two-against-one, and the numerical advantage was immediately reversed.
His clones could be retracted and deployed at will. If all were retracted into the main body, the power would be most concentrated. If all were deployed, the power would naturally be split into six.
However, because the spiritual power of the Ten Extremes Body was simply too vast, even if his power was split into six, the spiritual power of each of his clones was still much stronger than those of the same rank.
Because of this special constitution, he had more spiritual power than he could ever use, so it was better for six people to use it together. Thus, when he deployed all his clones, it was his strongest combat form.
Since it was his first time fighting nervously, he directly used his strongest combat form.
The female loose cultivator looked around and showed a disdainful expression, sneering: "How can a tiny clone technique make up for the gap in numbers? Truly naive. As long as we find your main body, the other clones will naturally break on their own."
At this time, the bald burly man behind her pushed her shoulder with an ugly expression, swallowed his saliva, and said: "This is probably not a clone, but the legendary External Avatar. We probably have big trouble!"
Clones and External Avatars were very different. The biggest difference was that many people could do clones, but clones were all energy forms without physical bodies and could only be used to confuse opponents. They couldn't cause damage to enemies. As long as the main body was found, the other clones would naturally break on their own.
However, External Avatars were different. External Avatars had physical bodies and could effectively attack opponents. Their own combat power might not be much weaker than the main body.
Big shots possessing External Avatars were few and far between, but those who had External Avatars must be strong people who shook a region. Refining an External Avatar was the lifelong dream of all Gu cultivators.
The bald burly man really hadn't expected that on his first time robbing a path, he had carefully selected the weakest one, but didn't expect it to be a pig pretending to be a tiger. He could actually cultivate External Avatars at such a low realm, and he cultivated five of them. Even the External Avatars of Gu Kings didn't have his quantity.
This time they had kicked an iron plate. External Avatars had attack capabilities and absolutely could not ignore their attacks. Without bringing out more than six people to go one-on-one, don't even think about dealing with such a person.
"What? It is actually an external avatar?"
The female loose cultivator's face changed drastically. Just as she was about to take a closer look, the five External Avatars had already attacked.
"Fire Jade!"
A red energy ball condensed from Fire Power appeared on the Fire clone's right hand, and it slapped toward the female loose cultivator.
"Thunder Palm!"
The bald burly man reacted first, rushing in front of the female loose cultivator, condensing a spherical lightning on his right hand, facing the Fire Jade struck by the Fire clone.
"Boom!"
The two palms struck together, erupting with a deafening roar.
The bald burly man only felt a force like a mountain collapsing and a sea overturning coming from his palm. His whole person was directly shaken back ten steps, his face turned pale, and finally, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, his body staggering.
"How is this possible?"
The bald burly man's expression was horrified.
One had to know that he was Spirit Gathering Late Stage, while this External Avatar was only Spirit Gathering Mid Stage. In a head-on collision, it was he, who should have been crushing in realm, who fell into a disadvantage. This made him unable to understand.
How could he know that Long Xuan possessed the Ten Extremes Body, known as invincible at the same rank? With his wide meridians, the attack power he erupted with far exceeded those of the same rank.
Even against super geniuses, he could be invincible at the same rank. If he faced loose cultivators with very poor combat power, then it was enough to fight across ranks, and even fight across ranks and win.
If he didn't even have the ability to fight across ranks, how could he be worthy of the title of the number one strange body under heaven? Long Xuan discovered that he had still underestimated the combat power of the Ten Extremes Body.
One had to know that his external avatar only possessed a single attribute. A mere single-attribute Fire Jade was enough to make the Bald Youth vomit blood; if he used the Five Elements Jade with his main body, wouldn't he be able to finish him off in one move?
The female loose cultivator's idea of predicting the enemy generously was correct, and for the sake of safety, she even brought two people to make it three against one. But she still didn't predict generously enough.
