In fact, Qin Wushuang was worried about Xin Wuji making his way in forcefully and it would be rather difficult to perform in this narrow space.
However, the more he was worried about something, the more surprising and better he would perform. Not only was he not fearful, but he also was taunting his opponent, “Xin Wuji, don’t be so pretentious. Come in and attack if you have the guts. I will be waiting for you on the inside!”
Xin Wuji did want to charge into the cave, but the sinister scene inside the cave made Xin Wuji more or less worried for his well-being.
Even if he was exceptional and courageous, considering how this was the den of a divine beast, it would be highly possible for him to fall into a troublesome position if the forces of the divine beast were to be activated by the clamor of battle.
Xin Wuji thought that perhaps the other party was bluffing. Yet, if he were truly asked to gather his courage to kill inside the den of the divine beast, he must weigh the pros and cons in his hand.
He would not normally have fear when facing such a person. In the end, he was restraining his fear against that divine beast. The scene of how the divine beast lashed out his power was still vivid in his mind.
For such a terrifying being, once tangled by his power and only being able to escape at a slow speed, it would certainly bring death.
It would not have mattered if he were to dash in now. If he was caught up by the battle inside the cave while the divine beast comes back, death would be the only result!
Although Xin Wuji was the son of the Heavenly Emperor and a person of outstanding talent among the Xuan Yuan Mound young generation, it was impossible for him not to fear death!
In fact, Qin Wushuang was also crying out in grief. If this Xin Wuji were to linger here forever, his plan would not work in the end.
“Could it be, I must use the Sky Pilfered Pill? Should I forcefully go into the Perfect Void Martial Stage and summon the last two sealed spiritual beasts?” his thoughts were turning to a backup plan.
Qin Wushuang had not wanted to refine the Sky Pilfered Pill. It was because he wished to use his own training and skill to march towards the peak, step by step. Regardless if he used it or not, in the end he would need more time to consolidate the stage that was reached with the help of the pill. It would never be as stable as reaching the breakthrough step by step.
However, this pill was a great backup plan if he was in a sticky situation and had no other choice.
Refining the Sky Pilfered Pill would not take much time. Although once it was refined and he had broken into the Perfect Void Martial Stage, he would need time to consolidate the stage.
Clearly, this den of the divine beast was not an ideal place for consolidating his strength. And neither of them knew when that beast was to return!
Therefore, although Qin Wushuang had these thoughts, he knew that the possibility of executing this matter was not high in this moment!
However, staying in this stalemate was also not a method that would work in their favor!
Qin Wushuang made up his mind and revealed a cold smile at Xin Wuji. He went towards the deeper part of the cave.
When Xin Wuji saw that Qin Wushuang wasn’t trying to make a break for the outside, but rather go deeper inside, the more suspicious he had become. For a time, he felt more hesitant and confused.
He truly wanted to acquire that Supreme Dao Fruit, especially because that divine beast was at the Eighth Transformation Supreme Dao Stage. The Supreme Dao Fruit accompanied by him would certainly be extraordinary!
If it were an ordinary divine beast of the Coagulate Spirit Stage, Xin Wuji might not have taken such a risk by returning here. It was because the Eighth Transformation Supreme Dao spiritual beast formed a rather powerful attraction.
For your information, in terms of spiritual beasts, the higher level they were, the more precious they would be. A spiritual beast of the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary Stage was already a luxury amidst the Xuan Yuan Mound, not to mention one at the Supreme Dao Stage.
This spiritual beast was not only at the Supreme Dao, but at the Eighth Transformation Supreme Dao. For such strength, even his father and Heavenly Emperor, Xin Tianwen, would have to yield to it.
For this divine beast, the object accompanying it and its level of preciousness was definitely worth the risk! Xin Wuji had lived at the Heavenly Emperor Mountain for all his life. Since he was experienced and knowledgeable, how could he not know this inside information?
“Kid, if you are not afraid of death, then hide in there. Let me see how long you can last!” In the end, Xin Wuji suppressed the greed inside his heart and did not go in to chase after him.
Qin Wushuang kept sneering, “Xin Wuji, I’ve already said, if you have guts, then come in and chase after me. If not, don’t stand there and talk gibberish.”
Xin Wuji’s mind was filled with incredible madness. However, his rationality had surpassed his greed. He stayed at the cave entrance and fixed his attention to observe all movements in the surrounding area. Not only was he going to stay on guard in case he decided to escape, he must be on alert for the return of that Eighth Transformation Supreme Dao divine beast.
When Qin Wushuang returned to the cave, he took out the sealed scroll. Next, he summoned the Purple Pupil Golden Ox and the Burning Sky Explosive Tiger. These two spiritual beasts were the two strongest spiritual beasts Qin Wushuang could summon.
Although the peak of Profound Mysterious Stage wasn’t quite close enough to Xin Wuji’s Common Mysterious Stage, with the domineering fighting strength of the spiritual beasts, they would form some threat to him if they were to attack all of a sudden.
After all, the Purple Pupil Golden Ox and the Burning Sky Explosive Tiger were spiritual beasts that could transform into a maddened state very easily. Once they entered the fanatical state, their combat power would increase exponentially.
This fanatical state was the equivalent to human martial artists initiating their Dantian to the extreme. Their combat power could not be speculated by one’s ordinary state.
Qin Wushuang sent through his spiritual perception, “You two, that Xin Wuji is at the peak of the Common Mysterious Stage and he is staying to guard the cave entrance. In order to break out, we must work together. You two are in charge of the first wave of attack and I will be responsible for the second wave. I will be attacking with the Graceful Spiritual Bow. We must catch him off his guard.”
“Alright! At most, we can transform into a beserk state instantly. So what if he is at the peak of the Common Mysterious Stage! Perhaps, we can still not let him go easily!”
These two spiritual beasts at the peak of the Profound Mysterious Stage were also incredibly proud. At their level, they already possessed incredible strength. It would be difficult for them to bow their heads if the other party was not an elite warrior of the Supreme Dao.
Qin Wushuang nodded. “Remember, you must not get tangled with him in the battle. You will watch for my hand signal. Once I shoot with the Graceful Spiritual Bow, you must retreat and enter the sealed scroll and I will take you guys out to leave! Xin Wuji certainly has more than one Supreme Dao weapon. It would not be a smart choice to get tangled with him in battle.”
It was already horrifying for one to be at the peak of the Common Mysterious Stage. Plus with Supreme Dao weapons protecting him, even if they were to enter a berserk state, it would be impossible to win. At most, they would just hold on close to death.
If they were to be trapped in battle for a long period of time, it would be possible for them to be killed by Xin Wuji!
The two spiritual beasts at the peak of the Profound Mysterious Stage nodded at the same time. They comprehended Qin Wushuang’s strategic intentions.
Qin Wushuang said again, “I will be talking some gibberish with him at the cave entrance. You will launch a sneak attack when he is not paying attention. Later, I will attack with the Graceful Spiritual Bow. When I’ve finished attacking with the Graceful Spiritual Bow, I will initiate the Purple Cloud Ying Yang Wings to fly out of the cave and pick you guys up. Remember, you must work well. If one loop goes wrong, most likely we won’t escape!”
These two spiritual beasts had naturally understood what it meant for an elite warrior at the peak of the Common Mysterious Stage to possess Supreme Dao weapons. They would not dare to act recklessly.
Qin Wushuang made the hand signal and floated to the cave entrance like the wind while laughing. “Xin Wuji, you are rather patient, are you not scared of that divine beast returning?”
Xin Wuji said with a pair of eerie eyes, “Even if it returns, you would be the one to die. I would have a way to get out.”
“Is that so? It seems you are incredibly confident. The future Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain, tsk tsk. If it were possible, I would really like to kill you. This way, I could become famous, ha ha ha.”
Xin Wuji said with a cold sneer, “Then you should just go ahead. I do want to fulfill your wish, I am just afraid you do not possess such skills.”
If the other party was willing to come out to fight, this was exactly what Xin Wuji would look for. Therefore, in between their conversation, Xin Wuji took a few steps back deliberately and showed to be giving him some space.
Qin Wushuang said with a smile, “You want to lure me out to fight with you, how could such good things happen in the world? You are the son of the Heavenly Emperor, I admit…”
Just as he finished speaking the words “I admit,” two bursts of violent wind whizzed out from inside the cave. Like an arrow shot from a bow, violent rays of lights shot out from the cave to knock against Xin Wuji.
Xin Wuji was just paying attention to Qin Wushuang and did not expect any other movements from the cave. All of a sudden, he was indeed startled as he unconsciously waved his sword to block it. He initiated the lights of his sword to slash at the two rays of lights.
When Qin Wushuang saw the opening, he pulled the Graceful Spiritual Bow efficiently into his hand. Again, he put another five elemental talisman onto it and poured all his strength into the Graceful Spiritual Bow.
“Open!”
The Graceful Spiritual Bow brought up earth-like yellow lights to fill the sky and rolled it towards Xin Wuji! This attack had possessed genuine power of the Supreme Dao. If Xin Wuji were not to have used his Supreme Dao weapon to defend against the attack, even he at the peak of the Common Mysterious Stage would have suffered gravely.
It was not strange that he was Xin Wuji. In the middle of waving his sword, he had forcefully twisted in a way to lash out and turned it into a slash. Brilliant rays of light emitted from outside his body like endless divine lights had blocked this fierce attack.
Qin Wushuang had wanted this instant opportunity. He opened the giant wings from the back of his body calmly, transforming into a meteor-like light to fly into the sky.
He beckoned with his palm and two bursts of light shot from the sealed scroll to summon back the two spiritual beasts. Blocked by Xin Wuji, the Graceful Spiritual Bow that was shot out also flew backwards.
Qin Wushuang caught it instantly and shook his Purple Cloud Ying Yang Wings to dash at full force. He shot up to the sky and merged with the clouds that filled the sky. Instantly, he had disappeared without a trace.
Xin Wuji was used to encountering baffling attacks like this. With his astonishing skill he did not fall into this trick. As he looked at this scene with a startled look, all of a sudden he remembered a person.
“Could it be him…” A burst of stern light shone from Xin Wuji’e eyes. He straightened his body and shot into the sky: he was going to pursue this stranger closely!
Qin Wushuang! These words emerged inside Xin Wuji’s head. With this bow and arrow, these spiritual beasts, that protective shield, along with those methods… all of it matched perfectly with the rumored Qin Wushuang! Plus the matter with the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect, Xin Wuji had connected all these details together to come up with this conclusion.
Once he thought about Qin Wushuang, the rage inside Xin Wuji’s mind flourished. Ever since this Qin Wushuang had appeared from the Xuan Yuan Mound, the situation of the entire Heavenly Emperor Mountain seemed to have reached a turning point.
The Heavenly Punishing Villa and the Sound of Thunder Sect have all suffered by Qin Wushuang’s hand. Vividly, this Qin Wushuang seemed to be dashing for the supreme position Xin Wuji was holding among the young generation.
This would have been alright. If he allowed this Qin Wushuang to grow and become a threat to the position of the Heavenly Emperor Xin Clan, this would be a consequence Xin Wuji would be unwilling to see!
If he were to let Qin Wushuang take away that Supreme Dao Fruit, the consequences would be unimaginable. It would be the same thing as letting the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan gain two extra Supreme Dao elite warriors!
For your information, if someone at the peak of the Common Mysterious Stage were to consume this Supreme Dao Fruit, they could leap into the Supreme Dao instantly. This was not an exaggerated statement.
Thinking how if the Qin Clan had two extra Supreme Dao elite warriors, they would hold a complete advantage against the number of Supreme Dao warriors the Heavenly Emperor Xin Clan had.
Although the Xin clan was at the Heavenly Emperor Gate, they only had four Supreme Dao warriors! Now, the Qin Clan has three Supreme Dao warriors. If they were to get two more, they would have five and gain the advantage to overcome the Xin Clan!
