81. Using force to coerce
"Lu Zhi, are you crazy?" Although he had heard that Lu Zhi and his three companions were going to gather their forces to deal with Xu Yingwu, Lu Zhi's words still shocked Xu Han.
"Crazy? Heh..." Lu Zhi took a step forward, and semi-transparent lines quietly appeared on his forehead.
Lu Zhi has already reached the Dou Zong realm, and after being bathed in the spiritual spring, his strength has reached a new level.
Correspondingly, he became increasingly proficient in using several patterns, and a magnificent hurricane dragon took shape in his hand, then charged menacingly towards Xu Han.
Shi Meng, Wan Qing, and Shi Han were also taken aback by Lu Zhi's move: Lu Zhi's abilities were still improving after bathing in the spiritual spring.
Xu Han did not back down. At this moment, he was the head of the Echo Sect, and the situation behind him did not allow him to retreat. Even if he was no match for Lu Zhi, he could not allow the Echo Sect to be humiliated in front of everyone.
Xu Han opened his mouth wide, and the sonic attack shook the surrounding space, creating ripples like waves crashing one after another. Those close to Xu Han even felt as if a raging storm was sweeping over them.
Low-level Earth Rank - Raging Sea Sonic Wave!
"The Echo Sect's signature technique! Raging Sea Sonic Wave."
"It is said that there are very few people in the entire Echo Sect who can learn this skill."
"And it also contained the sound waves."
"Xu Han is so strong!"
The ferocious wind dragon, enveloped by Xu Han's sound waves, also began to fluctuate irregularly, like a sailboat in the sea being constantly battered by waves.
However, before Xu Han could even rejoice, Lu Zhi waved his hand, and the wind dragon transformed into more than ten wind blades.
Each wind blade, unaffected, usually breaks through the sonic wave's coverage, and the next moment, the wind blade reaches the body.
Each wind blade precisely tore a gash in Xu Han's body, leaving him covered in blood!
How strong Lu Zhi, a Dou Zong level expert, was was clearly demonstrated in his battle with Xu Han!
one move!
Lu Zhi defeated the second-in-command of the Echo Sect in one move, and even the onlookers fell silent. What kind of powerful strength was this?
"Six hours, start the countdown!" Lu Zhi's emotionless voice rang out.
The four major forces simply surrounded the Echo Sect members without making any move. When someone tried to leave, no one stopped them; they simply blocked the main force. Of course, the Echo Sect members had no way to escape.
News of the four major powers besieging the Echo Sect spread at an alarming rate throughout the Myriad Beasts Space, drawing countless people who braved the long distances to arrive. Even with the most precious opportunities within the Myriad Beasts Space, the sight of four major powers surrounding a single sect was unprecedented, leading to a surge in the number of people present. Within just one hour, the number had already surpassed that of a typical small market town.
After being defeated by Lu Zhi, Xu Han was rescued by the Echo Sect and placed under their control.
At this moment, the area where the Echo Sect was located was just flat land with no terrain to cover it. Even if Xu Han wanted to fight desperately later, he wouldn't have a good opportunity. Because once he made a move, he would be bombarded by the four major forces. Time passed slowly, so Xu Han simply sat down cross-legged to recover.
He had already resigned himself to dying here, after all, Xu Yingwu was already second on the leaderboard, which was a pretty good result.
Moreover, Xu Yingwu had given him all his men, so even if they wanted to rescue him, they would hardly be able to do anything in this sea of people. Although the Echo Sect's men were going to perish here, he had already sent someone he trusted to quickly inform Xu Yingwu not to come to his rescue.
What Xu Han couldn't understand was why the four major powers were able to attack the Echo Sect without any internal strife.
This is also why I was caught off guard and fell into the trap. The main reason why the major forces did not dare to join forces in the past was that if two forces attacked together, the besieged force would concentrate its strength to fight one of them, trying to inflict the greatest casualties. In that case, the two forces would easily develop a rift.
However, the degree of collaboration among these four companies today truly surprised Xu Han.
Xu Han had no idea that the number one figure of these four major forces was already wary of Xiao Yan to the core!
Six hours is not a long time for the powerful beings in the Myriad Beasts Space; most of them can pass the time by simply closing their eyes and cultivating for a while.
When the time was up, Lu Zhi and his Xuanwen Sect followers began to ascend into the air, looking down at them and saying, "Six hours have passed. I didn't expect Xu Yingwu to actually dare not come. Xu Han, pick ten people to face death!"
The audience also became excited, and the crowd had already surrounded the area. Lu Zhi's speech had obviously sparked a heated discussion.
Lu Zhi's words indicate that he is really planning to take action, and also show that the four major forces are about to completely break ties with the Echo Sect.
"Lu Zhi, you claim to be the number one young talent in the Northwest Region, yet you lack the ability to have a fair spar with my young sect leader, Brother Xiao Yan, and instead resort to such despicable acts. It's truly laughable!"
Xu Han's words had no effect on Lu Zhi. Instead, Lu Zhi laughed and said, "Then let's start by killing these ten people from your Echo Sect!"
After saying that, the Qi-gathering pattern and the hurricane pattern reappeared, and ten wind dragons condensed in front of Lu Zhi!
"Ten wind dragons, how terrifying is Lu Zhi!"
"This wind dragon looks so-so, doesn't it? Who doesn't know about the Xuanwen Sect's hurricane patterns?"
"Heh, you weren't here before, were you? Xu Han couldn't even finish one line!"
"Lu Zhi is really freakish. He has the strength of a Dou Zong, and his markings are so terrifying."
Seeing Lu Zhi's actions, Xu Han steeled his resolve and roared, "Brothers, let's fight them!"
Only about a third of the crowd behind Xu Han responded; most were only following because of the Echo Sect's strength. However, everyone could see the Echo Sect's inevitable defeat today, and few were willing to fight alongside Xu Han.
It's only meaningful to fight desperately when there's a chance of winning; fighting desperately in a situation where defeat is inevitable is just courting death.
Just as Xu Han was about to charge forward, Shi Meng, along with the powerful figures from the four major forces, forced the Echo Sect members back one by one.
"I said I'd kill ten people, and I'll only kill ten!" Lu Zhi said coldly, the wind dragon in front of him already fully formed.
Immediately, with a wave of his hand, ten wind dragons precisely targeted ten members of the Echo Sect. The terrifying aura of the wind dragons paralyzed those below the Dou Huang level. Lu Zhi had his reasons for choosing the Hurricane Pattern; the sight of blood scattering as a hurricane tears through a person's body is the most shocking! And he intended to use this method to force Xu Yingwu and Xiao Yan out!
Just as a wind dragon was about to tear apart an Echo Sect member, a black ruler came rushing in with irresistible force, instantly smashing the wind dragon to pieces.
The next instant, a figure in black stood in front of the Echo Sect members. It was just a young man in black standing quietly. The wind from the battlefield made his clothes rustle, but he was like an iron spear, unyielding!
Xu Han and many others behind him had a sudden thought: They were saved!
The figure gave them the feeling that even if there were thousands of troops in front of them, they could not be harmed in the slightest.
Nine blood-red fire pythons suddenly appeared in front of the remaining nine wind dragons. As the wind dragons and fire pythons struggled and entangled, it was the flames on the fire pythons that slowly burned the wind dragons away.
Then the young man smiled warmly at the many powerful figures in the air.
"Sorry I'm late."
