C70 Joint combat
Everyone was either sitting or standing in the empty space.
"There's actually such a loophole?"
Zhu Chaoyun and the other two were surprised, they had never even thought about this. He couldn't help but be surprised at Xiao Zhi's unusual thinking. After all, the Heaven Gate had said that only three people would be allowed to form groups, which meant that when everything happens, only three people would be able to shoulder the responsibility. However, in the Xiao Zhi's case, they had naturally succeeded. Three people as a group did not mean that they could not form a team of ten or even a hundred people.
This was a language technique, a loophole. Even if they returned to the Gate of Heaven, no one would know.
"This kind of method can indeed greatly improve our chances of survival."
Gong Xuee said softly, a light flickering in her eyes. "If more than two hundred people gather, we won't be afraid even if thirty-eight generation disciples appeared at the same time. "In fact, even if we were to face a rank 6 beast, we would still be able to fight back."
A level six demon beast was absolutely a terrifying existence. To these disciples, it was even more devastating; they had no strength to block it. But with more than two hundred disciples present, even if their realms were only around Dao Resisting Realm, half of them would definitely survive if they attacked together.
"If the sect punishes us because of this …"
Dian Xiaole frowned, and spoke out his worries. After all, everyone's way of doing things was tantamount to digging a hole, which could be considered a violation of the sect's rules.
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Those that violated the sect rules at least had their cultivation base destroyed, and then had their clan tossed them over to the clan. Those that didn't have a clan within would most likely be killed immediately. The consequences were extremely serious. Previously, everyone only wanted to feel excited because of this wondrous thought, but when they truly thought of this, they felt a chill run through their bodies.
"Since the sect is like this, then the reverse should be true."
After a long while, Xiao Zhi opened his eyes. He'd come to the Gate of Heaven only for the Seven Stars Life Continuing Canon, and if he was really faced with a situation where his cultivation was crippled, then the only thing he could do was to reverse the situation and exit the Gate of Heaven!
"The reverse?"
Everyone's expression changed drastically as they sucked in a mouthful of cold air.
In the Douluo Continent, power was revered. This was an unchangeable fact. However, there was another point – respect and respect for one's teacher!
It was an undeniable fact that a cultivator could only join one sect to cultivate in their entire life. Some of the more powerful clans and powers would send their best disciples into some of the more powerful sects. Not only did he need to pay a lot of money, but no matter how much this disciple grew, he was not allowed to pass down some of his sect's secret skills to other clan members.
This was an iron-like rule, and no one could defy it. Otherwise, they would face the pursuit of the entire sect. As for those without any power, they would fall into a situation of fighting on their own. They would live a lonely life, live the life of wandering and being chased and killed by others.
The six great sects controlled everything. They could be said to be the true kings of the entire Douluo Continent. If they had the intention to kill a person, even their own empire would give them some face and fear.
Rebel?
That was impossible!
Not only would the empire not accept it, even the other sects would not accept it. Otherwise, it would be seen as a provocation, which would result in a bloody battle. Unless, this' rebel 'possessed extremely powerful strength, and was not afraid of a sect's revenge.
But how many people in the entire history of the Douluo Continent were like this?
Therefore, in this world, no one would ever have the thought of rebelling against a sect.
Xiao Zhi's idea shocked everyone. In their eyes, this idea was definitely outrageous.
"This idea is out of the question."
Zhu Chaoyun took a deep breath and was the first to react. His eyes were stern as he looked at Xiao Zhi, and said in a heavy voice: "We will pretend we never heard it before. In the future, you absolutely cannot say such words in front of outsiders." After saying so, his eyes swept across the crowd coldly.
"What did you say? I didn't hear anything. " Wu Bupang said in embarrassment, his expression did not recover from the Xiao Zhi's words for a long time.
"I just dozed off." Liang Kui also said.
Zhang Ling, Gong Xuee and Dian Xiaole nodded slightly, as if they had guaranteed his safety. It was because this idea was too scary. If it was known by the rest of the people in the Heaven Gate, Xiao Zhi's soul would disappear in the next moment, regardless of his identity.
Xiao Zhi was silent. When he had not understood the meaning of blood forest's trial, he had already started to dislike the Heaven Gate from the bottom of his heart. Seeing Zhu Chaoyun being so cautious, he nodded his head after a while.
"Regardless of what happens in the future, right now there is a change in blood forest, we need to find more people."
Zhu Chaoyun stood up, his injuries had already somewhat recovered after being bandaged. At the same time, he said: "When we were fighting with that disciple, a small group of people passed us by. They shouldn't be too far away, let's go find them."
"Let's go."
The others responded, but subconsciously, Gong Xuee, Wu Bupang, Dian Xiaole, Zhang Ling and the others took the initiative to avoid the Xiao Zhi. She felt that Xiao Zhi's thoughts were too scary, they could not be too close, and would be implicated in the future.
Seeing that, Zhu Chaoyun frowned, but he did not say anything. After all, every single one of them had a powerful force backing them up. Anything they did could affect their families.
"No matter what, I will always stand by your side."
Behind the crowd, Liang Li stood side by side with Xiao Zhi and muttered, "My dao diagram is an ancient divine beast, Shadowmouse. If one day you encounter difficulties, my ability will allow you to instantly appear hundreds of kilometers away."
Xiao Zhi looked at Liang Gang in astonishment, and after a long while, he nodded. With such thoughts in his mind, how could he not see the attitude of the others towards him after he said those words?
The dao diagram was a cultivator's secret. Even if Wu Bupang's dao diagram was displayed and everyone saw that his dao diagram could turn living beings into pigs that could not be counterattacked, who would know its true power?
Liang Gang dared to inform Xiao Zhi of the name of his dao diagram and his greatest ability, and that was his greatest trust.
As long as one knew the true name of the dao diagram, one would be able to look up a lot of information and find a way to break it. In this way, no matter how formidable the Diagram was, it would be destroyed by someone.
However, the Xiao Zhi did not say anything, because his dao diagram was unable to say anything. If he said too much, it would only bring disaster to those who knew as well as himself.
Three types of dao diagrams?
That would mean that he would become the focus of attention of the entire world. If he possessed absolute strength, that would be fine. But now, he was too weak. As long as they were tricked by someone, they would die without a burial ground.
Seeing the Xiao Zhi not saying a word, Liang Zhen's brows furrowed, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes. However, he soon calmed down and didn't think too much about it.
In the blood forest, all the trees are very similar. If not for the fact that the Xiao Zhi had left a mark at a secret location, he would not even be able to return to the place with the 'sky-curtain formation'.
Suddenly, Zhu Chaoyun who was walking ahead came to a stop first, he softly sighed, and then everyone stopped. Xiao Zhi took a few steps forward and couldn't help but frown.
In front of them, there were three corpses of teenagers lying in a mess, and they had been cut in half from the waist up. Their movements were clean and swift. It was clear that they were not injured by the demon beasts, but rather killed by the disciples of the thirty-eight generations.
Then, everyone was absolutely sure that the 38th generation disciples against the 39th generation disciples was truly a chase and kill; there wasn't the slightest bit of intimidation.
The weakest of the thirty-eight generation disciples were at least the seventh and eighth stages of Dao Resisting Realm. For example, Bai Fei, Long Aoyun and others, were all wandering around the third and fifth stages of domineering state.
Zhu Chaoyun stepped forward and investigated for a while. With a serious expression, he said. "Killing three disciples in one slash was extremely efficient and his strength is at least at the first stage of the domineering state."
The first sky of domineering state was already much higher than the rest of them.
Right now, Xiao Zhi was only at the first stage of Dao Resisting Realm, the difference was like that of an entire big realm. Amongst the crowd, it was instead Zhu Chaoyun who had a slightly higher realm, the third sky of Dao Resisting Realm.
"Good eye."
A mocking voice sounded from above as a figure descended heavily, bringing with it a fishy wind.
"Bang!"
A huge crater was formed on the ground as dust flew everywhere and plants were crushed.
A sturdy young man who was holding onto a ghost head knife looked at the people with a gaze that was filled with killing intent, his entire body was surrounded by a blood Qi, and the ghost head knife was releasing a cold aura.
It was a fourth rank Dao Artifact.
"So it's Ghost Kuang Palace's senior brother."
Zhu Chaoyun frowned, his expression serious.
The Ghost Kuang Palace was also one of the ninety-nine side halls of the Heaven Gate, and his strength was above average.
Everyone was cautious and prepared for battle. The disciples of the Ghost Kuang Palace were ruthless and cold. Moreover, he specialized in cultivating a type of 'Ghost Berserker Blade Art', which was extremely fierce and overbearing. The side chamber was also named because of this. It was the side chamber of the Heaven Gate that gave one the greatest headache.
"You're quite knowledgeable, but I wonder how strong you are."
The sturdy youth let out a cold laugh. His domineering state, outside the Heaven Gate, was already a pretty good expert. Even in the imperial army, he could get a very good position.
"There are seven of us."
Zhu Chaoyun said calmly as he slowly pulled out his sword. It was only a Level 1 Dao Artifact, and the body of the sword was extremely thin.
With these words, he was undoubtedly hoping that the other party would leave because they were afraid that there would be too many of them.
"A bunch of trash."
The young man was disdainful, but his eyes intentionally or unintentionally looked towards Xiao Zhi's location. His strength was at the first level of the domineering state, so a group of cultivators at the Dao Resisting Realm was nothing in his eyes, not to mention that there were several Dao Accomplishment Realm s among them. For example, Wu Bupang and Liang Gang.
Thus, the thirty-eighth generation disciples had the qualifications to look down upon the thirty-nine generation disciples.
"Turn into your sister."
Wu Bupang couldn't wait and shouted. A pink little pig flew into the air, its little eyes emitting a ray of light as it charged forward.
"You're courting death!"
The sturdy youth bellowed, he waved his ghost head knife, bringing along a dark Spirit Qi, he cut Wu Bupang who was in the middle of the group of people. Furthermore, in the instant the ghost head knife was swung, the area in front of her was filled with blade shadows, which then formed a screen of light that reflected all of the incoming light into the air.
This slash was as fast as a ghost!
Zhu Chaoyun's face changed, he anxiously moved to the side to block, the slender sword in his hand quickly thrust forward.
