Before this operation, Xia Liyue never thought that the Moon God Sect would hold such a sacrificial ritual.
After all, this ritual had not appeared for a hundred years!
"Aren’t you afraid of the wrath of the human high command for doing this?" Xia Liyue stared at Zhao Peng coldly and said.
Zhao Peng chuckled softly and said, "Once I achieve the Peak of Ninth Grade, who in the world can stop me?"
He glanced at Xia Liyue again and said, "Stop your little tricks, this valley is isolated by me, no matter how you call for help, no one can come to save you."
Xia Liyue’s gaze was icy, but her face gradually paled.
She was indeed stalling for time, taking the opportunity of talking to seek help from the outside world.
But... all means of contacting the outside world had failed!
Below.
The fighting stopped for everyone.
Each captain looked up at the sky with grim faces, realizing what had happened.
This encirclement operation, the hunter turned into the prey.
They became beasts trapped in a cage!
This was a trap orchestrated by the Moon God Sect, presumably, this so-called "stronghold" was also a piece of information deliberately released by the Moon God Sect.
It was all to lure these prodigies over to serve as offerings for the deification ritual!
In the heart of the valley.
"It’s really a trap!"
Xu Zhou cursed under his breath, then his expression also turned grim: "Involving so many prodigies, isn’t there any strong figure among the human high command watching over?"
Such encirclement operations were not rare, occurring once a year, only this time it was special, as it was all prodigies involved.
Moreover, as this operation was meant as training for geniuses, those High-Grade Strong People might not pay excessive attention.
Xu Zhou felt a heavy heart and his mind raced, thinking of a countermeasure.
"If there’s truly no other way, I can only let my avatar descend here and then have it take me into my personal space!"
The personal space used the main body as an anchor point, Xu Zhou didn’t know what would happen if the main body entered, but he had a premonition it might be something terrifying!
If he continued to stay here, things might get even scarier!
Xu Zhou stared intently at the sky, the unease in his heart growing stronger.
...
Rumble!
In Phoenix Valley, streams of blood-red creeks converged in the air, forming a strange blood-red array.
A terrible wave swept across.
Under that wave, Xu Zhou and everyone else felt a slight discomfort, as if their flesh was being peeled away!
In the sky.
Zhao Peng no longer paid attention to Xia Liyue, but his eyes shone as he looked in Xu Zhou’s direction.
"Second Grade late-stage managed to kill two Third Grade late-stage?"
"Not bad...let’s use you as the offering flag!"
As he spoke, a crimson giant hand appeared in the air, its pressure shaking the heavens and earth, reaching to grab Xu Zhou.
A Peak of Sixth Grade Strong Person attacking a Second Grade Martial Artist left no chance for retaliation; the sky and ground were sealed, and the space around Xu Zhou was instantly locked!
In fact, even Fifth-grade Strong People couldn’t escape from a Peak of Sixth Grade’s grasp.
Peak of Sixth Grade was the last step before High Grade, invincible without reaching Seventh Grade!
"Don’t even think about it!"
At this moment, Xia Liyue moved suddenly.
"Swish!"
She flickered and instantly blocked in front of Xu Zhou, slashing a sword toward the crimson hand.
"Courting death."
Zhao Peng’s face was calm as he flicked his finger, Xia Liyue’s longsword shattered instantly, and her body flew backward, crashing into Xu Zhou.
Xu Zhou caught her, his heart sinking to the bottom.
Xia Liyue was severely injured instantly, her chest armor cracked, revealing a hideous wound with broken ribs.
In front of the Peak of Sixth Grade, the Peak of Fourth Rank Xia Liyue was as fragile as thin paper!
Xu Zhou looked at the crimson hand continuing to grab for him, sighed in his heart, and was about to summon his avatar.
"What are you waiting for!"
At that moment, Xia Liyue suddenly shouted.
Sigh!
In the world, a soft sigh echoed.
In front of Xu Zhou, space suddenly rippled.
An elderly figure in a white robe stepped out from the space, looked at the incoming crimson hand, and gently waved his hand.
"Crack, crack!"
