237: sneak attack

Late at night.

After continuing to fuse over a dozen strands of Samadhi True Fire, he used all the energy spheres smaller than three inches to nourish the thousand flame blade.

Finally, Xiao Weiqing stared at a football-sized energy sphere, remaining motionless for a long time.

This energy sphere had dropped from a four-meter Nether, and the divine charm it contained was comparable to a Level 3 treasure.

Whether it was used to fuse Samadhi True Fire or to nourish the thousand flame blade, it was a bit of a waste.

But.

If he took it outside, Xiao Weiqing would lose out even more.

"Right now, divine charm is everywhere for the taking; I can't let the Temple take advantage."

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Weiqing decided to use it.

He rested for an hour.

Xiao Weiqing recovered his state.

He picked up the football-sized energy sphere and began fusing Samadhi True Fire; now was not the time to feel stingy about divine charm.

A few minutes later.

Xiao Weiqing opened his eyes, his face full of pleasant surprise.

With the same consumption of Three-Fire energy, using Level 3 divine charm actually allowed him to fuse two strands of Samadhi True Fire.

One must know that Level 2 divine charm substance could only increase the speed of fusing Samadhi True Fire, not the quantity.

This was a complete unexpected joy; one could only say that Level 3 divine charm truly deserved to be called a treasure, as it indeed had its unique qualities.

Although it was a pity to be so wasteful, it greatly reduced the time needed.

What he lacked now was time to recover Refined Fire; if he really took 100 units of divine charm treasures outside, he would only end up with 40 units.

"Rumble~~~"

The ceiling of the basement was vibrating.

"Rumble~~"

The noise grew louder and louder.

Xiao Weiqing hurriedly left the basement and went to the roof.

In the distance.

A group of people was besieging a Nether nearly two stories tall. It was those people from the Xuanwu Kingdom, but judging from their assault, they were clearly not of one mind and each had their own hidden motives.

But the Nether didn't indulge them; with a casual wave of its hand, a building collapsed.

Someone was corroded by the white mist and immediately fell straight to the ground like a dried corpse, as if their life essence had been sucked away.

"A bunch of idiots!"

Xiao Weiqing gave a cold snort. These people were not only overestimating themselves but were also stupid, still playing their own little schemes at a time like this.

"Buzz~~ Buzz~~~~"

An invisible shockwave erupted from the Nether's chest, flipping over the entire street. With just this one strike, two more people from the Xuanwu Kingdom died on the spot.

Even from two kilometers away, Xiao Weiqing could feel that terrifying pressure.

Xiao Weiqing shook his head and paid no more attention, turning to leave the area so as not to be dragged into it... The third day.

stidy didn't come to find Xiao Weiqing tonight; he had already gone to the 4th Ring.

Xiao Weiqing, on the other hand, went to the South 5th Ring; he wasn't allowed to enter the 4th Ring, as it was too dangerous.

A night passed.

Xiao Weiqing harvested another 20 one-inch energy spheres, 1 three-inch energy sphere, and 1 energy sphere nearly a foot in diameter. Roughly sensing it, there were a full 200 units of divine charm.

This was obtained after he spent half an hour grinding down and killing a four-meter Nether.

Without hesitation.

Xiao Weiqing began to manipulate the Three-Fire energy in his body to fuse Samadhi True Fire... East 5th Ring.

"Brother Hu, Brother Hu, I've found something."

"What discovery?"

Several people from the Tianlang Empire came to a basement.

"Is this... a divine charm energy sphere?"

The piles of white powder in the basement made Night Amber's expression tighten.

"There are even Level 2 ones."

"It seems this person's strength is not weak."

At this time, another person entered the basement.

"Brother Hu, they should have gone towards the south."

Night Amber gave a crooked smile. "Let's follow and take a look. As fellow Training Camp Trainees, we naturally have to show some concern."

...Fourth day after entering Ede City.

Xiao Weiqing used all 300 units of divine charm to nourish his companion weapon, but in the end, he still hadn't nourished a third divine rune. He estimated it would take another 200 units of divine charm.

"Just 200 units, not that much."

"Time to go out."

Xiao Weiqing took a circuit around the border between the South 5th Ring and the West 5th Ring.

Compared to the day before yesterday, the positions of the Nethers had changed slightly, but overall they were about the same; especially those few over four meters tall, which hadn't moved at all.

Two three-meter Nethers were isolated in a storage room.

Xiao Weiqing restrained his aura and approached stealthily on tiptoe.

Before he could even get within fifty meters, Xiao Weiqing was discovered.

"Damn it!"

"How did they become so sharp?"

Leaving an afterimage in place, Xiao Weiqing reappeared over a hundred meters away.

However, he didn't run, but waited in place.

There were too many Nethers nearby; it wasn't suitable to start a direct battle.

Sure enough.

Two Nethers floated towards Xiao Weiqing, one from the left and one from the right.

Xiao Weiqing used Illusionary Light and kept retreating towards the South 5th Ring, leading the two Nethers along until they were five kilometers away from the original spot.

"It's about time to send you on your way."

Xiao Weiqing turned around, his gaze looking at the Nethers was cold, and the thousand flame blade in his hand was glowing with flames.

Facing the attacking Nethers, Xiao Weiqing advanced instead of retreating, striking out with a blade. The Nether on the left immediately dispersed to avoid the attack.

Now is the time.

"Illusionary Light!"

A flash of fire appeared beside the Nether on the right.

"Seamless Slash!"

The eruption of Divine Fire was particularly effective against Nethers. With just one strike, it was blown apart. The Nether's reforming silhouette suddenly shrank to less than two meters.

One more strike.

Samadhi True Fire surged out, and the newly condensed Nether was blown apart again. The Nether was ruthlessly scorched, making a sizzling sound.

The other Nether saw the opportunity and launched a sneak attack from behind.

It only caught an afterimage.

"Fire Owl!"

Appearing twenty meters away, Xiao Weiqing thrust out a palm.

The flames blasted through the first Nether, and a three-inch energy sphere dropped to the ground.

The other Nether bared its fangs and brandished its claws, wanting to devour Xiao Weiqing.

Suddenly.

"We've come to help you!"

Two figures, one left and one right, lunged out from the shadows.

"Soul Strike!"

"Cloak Slash!"

Two attacks flew in, but they weren't aimed at the Nether; they were aimed at Xiao Weiqing.

"Hmph!"

"Seeking death!"

Xiao Weiqing was already prepared. The Mental Energy in his mind rapidly erupted, forming a shield to protect himself.

Boom~~

Then flames overflowed as he entered the Flame True Body form.

"Fire Domain!"

The attacks entered the Fire Domain like stones sinking into the ocean.

"What?"

The two were greatly shocked, realizing things were bad.

"Run!"

"Illusionary Light!"

His figure flickered a few times and appeared behind one person, the divine runes on the thousand flame blade surfacing.

Puchi!

A head flew off.

"Brother Hu, save me!!"

The other person was scared out of their wits, running back and shouting loudly for help.

"You dare!"

A loud roar sounded as a strong young man rushed over at high speed, followed by about a dozen people.

Xiao Weiqing turned a deaf ear, leaving an afterimage in place.

"Slash!"

Another head flew off.

"Damn it!"

"I will tear you into ten thousand pieces."

Xiao Weiqing ignored Night Amber's rage. With a few flickers, he disappeared into the dark night.

"Damn it!"

Night Amber punched a wall, and the three-story building immediately collapsed.

This time, the Tianlang Empire truly lost both the bait and the fish.

In fact, what Night Amber didn't know was that the moment those two approached, Xiao Weiqing had already discovered them with his Level 45 Mental Energy.

Furthermore.

In this city, except for Fan Bai and those few, any other living creature could be regarded as an enemy.

Sneaking around in the middle of the night—if I don't slash you, who should I slash?

Xiao Weiqing ran towards the West 5th Ring. Using the map stidy gave him, he avoided the territories of several four-meter Nethers and hid in a clothing store.

"Brother Hu?"

"Could it be Night Amber, ranked 52nd on the leaderboard?"

Xiao Weiqing narrowed his eyes. Someone was targeting him; it wouldn't make sense not to return the favor...
