Chapter 1643: Chapter 0968: Take Two Steps_2 Chapter 1643: Chapter 0968: Take Two Steps_2 Soon, above their heads, a cloud cluster also began to condense. It seed that if given a little more ti, this cloud cluster would beco larger and heavier. If left undisturbed, after forming, it would definitely have an extrely adverse impact on Li XiaoZhou’s tribulation.
Li XiaoZhou instantly beca troubled. He was the first person decided by drawing lots in the team to undergo the tribulation. Since this fact could not be changed, he naturally hoped that his process of tribulation would go smoothly, without any unexpected problems, and he needed to successfully complete the tribulation no matter what, to beco a Nascent Soul Master. If soone caused trouble at this ti, it would create unexpected variables in his tribulation, not only affecting his state of mind but also truly impacting his chances of success.
This was not only clear to Li XiaoZhou, but his remaining friends understood this as well. Although they knew they needed to leave a few people to protect Li XiaoZhou, they couldn’t just allow soone to interfere with Li XiaoZhou’s tribulation. Otherwise, Li XiaoZhou might squander the hard-earned opportunity they had obtained, and their subsequent plans would definitely be unable to proceed.
Imdiately, another friend of Li XiaoZhou called a few people and flew toward Qi Tian and the others once again.
This ti, they were even more cautious than the friends who ca before, setting up their protective shields early on.
Unfortunately, their caution was to no avail. The flying sword that Qi Tian brought out posed an irresistible danger to them; unless they possessed strength capable of resisting the flying sword of a Nascent Soul Master, no amount of preparation on their part would be effective.
Just like the people before them, before they even got close to Qi Tian, Qi Tian, commanding Gao Yuqiu and others, once again activated the flying swords, skewering all of them like candied haws—none were spared; all were slain on the spot.
Xiu Zhengyu’s eyes shone, and he couldn’t help but stick out his tongue and lick his lips. He rembered the promise Qi Tian had made to him—to grant him an opportunity to beco the first among the team to be promoted to a Nascent Soul Master. Initially, he was sowhat skeptical, rely willing to give it a try, which is why he agreed to cooperate with Qi Tian’s suggestion. But now, he suddenly had quite a bit of confidence in Qi Tian, feeling that Qi Tian really might grant him a great opportunity, turning him into the long-envisioned Nascent Soul Master.
Through the Heavenly Dao Engine, Qi Tian once again surveyed the situation around Li XiaoZhou. In two instances, six of Li XiaoZhou’s friends had already died under the flying swords. Now, besides Li XiaoZhou himself, there were three other people protecting him.
Li XiaoZhou and his remaining friends had just had a disagreent. The six friends who had left earlier had not returned, which made them realize that those who had left had likely encountered great danger. At this point, was there still a necessity to continue the tribulation?
The three friends remaining with Li XiaoZhou wanted him to stop. The urgent matter at hand was no longer about producing a Nascent Soul Master in their team, but whether they could save their own lives. In comparison, Li XiaoZhou’s attitude was much more resolute; he refused to stop. He had already invested so much, and the Heavenly Tribulation was about to arrive. Interrupting at this mont would reduce all his efforts to nothing, and it would be impossible for him to gather a second set of materials for the tribulation. Moreover, if they were facing a formidable enemy, relying on the skills of just a few of them would definitely not be enough to match the opponent. At this ti, they needed to commit fully and let Li XiaoZhou undergo the tribulation.
If he could successfully break through at this mont and beco a Nascent Soul Master, perhaps the enemy, who had yet to reveal themselves, would be deterred. If lucky, Li XiaoZhou might even be able to match the enemy, and there was even a slim chance of killing the opponent.
Of course, another very important reason Li XiaoZhou was so insistent was that the Heavenly Tribulation was already on its way. At this point, it wasn’t sothing he could just stop whenever he wanted. If he tried to forcefully interrupt the process of tribulation, he would inevitably suffer the backlash from the Heavenly Tribulation. Although it might not be fatal, getting injured was unavoidable.
Li XiaoZhou’s friends were also very aware of this; seeing that they could not persuade Li XiaoZhou to terminate the tribulation, they had no choice but to strengthen their own defenses. Even one of the friends, seeing that he couldn’t change the overall situation, turned around and left. He felt that staying was too dangerous. He had also lost much confidence in Li XiaoZhou’s tribulation. Continuing to stay might even cost him his own life, so he thought it better to simply leave.
Li XiaoZhou and his friends’ movents were all clearly monitored by Qi Tian. A cold smile appeared on his lips. He waved toward the Array Flag implanted in the ground, and as the Array Flag rose into the air, Qi Tian headed toward Li XiaoZhou’s position, saying, “Let’s go, we’ll kill our way over there and seize the opportunity.”
Gao Yuqiu and Xiu Zhengyu hurriedly followed, maintaining their respective positions around the Array Flag, excitedly flying toward the spot where Li Xiaozhou was located.
The cloud mass that had ford through the Array followed them at an unhurried pace, maintaining a relatively stationary position above their heads.
Li Xiaozhou distinctly felt the disturbance of the Heavenly Secrets around him; the air becoming increasingly oppressive and agitated. It seed as if the Heavenly Secrets were provoked, already showing a tendency to erupt prematurely.
Li Xiaozhou beca anxious and hurriedly shouted to his two remaining friends, “Stop hesitating, co quickly and protect , drive away the enemies approaching us! Otherwise, we’re all dood today, and no one will escape.”
Li Xiaozhou’s two friends also sensed the chaos in the Heavenly Secrets. They glanced at each other, exchanged a look, and then one of them pointed in a direction and said, “I’ll check out that side.”
The other friend said, “Then, I’ll go over there.”
The two quickly reached an agreent; without waiting for Li Xiaozhou to speak, they flew to the directions they had pointed out at such a speed that not even a rabbit chased by a dog could catch up.
Li Xiaozhou almost spat out a mouthful of blood in frustration as his two friends flew in directions that were not the direction from which Qi Tian and his group were pressing down. In other words, at the mont of crisis, his last two friends chose to flee, unwilling to uselessly risk their lives to protect Li Xiaozhou in the end.
Li Xiaozhou was unwilling to accept this, but he knew that if he were in his friends’ shoes, it was very likely he would choose to flee at this mont, knowing it was a certain death situation that would be aningless to die in. Who could, under such circumstances, sacrifice their lives for soone else’s?
Li Xiaozhou looked up at the sky. The impending Heavenly Tribulation beca his last resort. He only hoped the Heavenly Tribulation would descend quickly and fiercely, sweeping away all those who dared to threaten his survival, and make them suffer the Heavenly Tribulation with him. Even if he were to be struck to death by the Tribulation, he was determined to drag those who dared disturb his tribulation down to hell with him.
Under Qi Tian’s lead, Gao Yuqiu and Xiu Zhengyu quickly approached. They clearly saw Li Xiaozhou, standing alone under the pitch-black sky.
Xiu Zhengyu swallowed hard and said with difficulty, “Qi Tian, should we keep moving forward? If we do, we will definitely be affected by the Heavenly Tribulation, and might even be forced to undergo it.”
Qi Tian smiled and responded, “Others can stay where they are, no need to go any further. But Sir Zhengyu, you are different. Co out of the group and take two steps forward.”
Showcasing a devastated expression, Xiu Zhengyu pointed in the direction of Li Xiaozhou and asked, “You an for to walk over there?”
Qi Tian gave Xiu Zhengyu a thumbs up and said, “Congratulations, you’re right! That’s exactly where you need to go. You want a chance to achieve the Nascent Soul, Master? It’s right there; go ahead and you shall receive it.”
