51: Chapter 51 Three

Wu Feng and Zeng Da were instantly stunned.

"Intermediate-level explosive array..."

"How do you have this thing!"

If, as Ou Jie said, this was indeed an intermediate-level array.

Then the value of this item was unimaginable.

But where did Ou Jie get such a thing?

In Jianghuo City, Wu Feng and Zeng Da were considered well-informed.

Yet they had never even heard of the existence of such a thing.

This was definitely something one could only learn about in a large city.

Yet, they never expected that their partner of many years had been hiding this ace up his sleeve.

"This is equivalent to a full-force strike from the Ninth Stage of Pulse-Opening Realm?"

"If that's really the case, then these boulders are indeed vulnerable."

A drop of cold sweat slid down Wu Feng's cheek, and Zeng Da's head was covered in beads of sweat.

The Ninth Stage of Pulse-Opening Realm was a term they had almost never heard of.

Such a powerhouse was capable of killing them a hundred times over.

Not to mention a full-force strike from such a powerhouse, which could blast them into nothing but ash.

Even Su Lin, hidden beneath the grey robe and mask, revealed an expression of wariness.

"To think such a thing exists?"

Su Lin thought to himself.

It seems he had underestimated these rogue martial artists.

Ou Jie revealed a smile.

"I also had to use my connections and pay a huge price to get this."

"You don't need to overthink it."

"I also intend to make back double through this thunder crystal."

Looking at the boulders blocking their path, Ou Jie's eyes showed determination.

"This array requires at least three martial artists at the Seventh Stage of Qi and Blood Realm to inject a certain amount of blood energy and spiritual power to activate."

"There is no time to lose, let's start setting up the array now."

As he spoke, Ou Jie opened the black scroll, which was covered in various runes.

Ou Jie bit his finger and dripped a drop of fresh blood onto it.

The various runes began to glow.

An array appeared on the ground.

"This array is one-time use, we only have one chance."

"It requires the blood energy of three people; Wu Feng, Zeng Da, and I will set up the array."

"Brother Ma, can you help us keep watch? What do you think?"

Ou Jie looked at the group, and they all nodded in succession.

In their eyes, besides Ou Jie, Su Lin had the highest blood energy, so having him keep watch shouldn't cause any problems.

And since the other two had been with Ou Jie for many years, they wouldn't easily make mistakes while setting up the array.

Wu Feng and Zeng Da crouched down and placed their hands on the array on the ground.

Ou Jie also placed one hand on it.

The array on the ground lit up and began to drain the blood energy and spiritual power of the three.

Just as it started, one could see the faces of the three turning slightly pale.

"What an astonishing array; this is my first time seeing one like this."

"It seems you were right; this really is an intermediate-level array."

Sweat dripped down the faces of Wu Feng and Zeng Da.

"Brother Ma, keeping watch is up to you. Please make sure we are not interrupted, otherwise, this array will be completely ruined."

"There won't be a second chance."

Ou Jie said, looking at Su Lin.

Su Lin nodded and turned his back to them.

He scanned his surroundings and began to keep watch for the three of them.

About half an hour passed, and the place was strangely calm; nothing had happened.

The light of the array on the ground became increasingly dazzling.

A powerful aura slowly emanated from the array.

It was the aura of the Meridian Opening Realm.

"How much longer? I feel like I'm about to collapse."

Wu Feng said with a pale face.

"About another half hour, it's almost there."

Even Ou Jie's complexion was looking a bit poor at this moment.

The intermediate-level array was also slightly beyond his expectations.

It required more blood energy and spiritual power than expected.

Just then, the sound of branches snapping echoed from nearby.

The group looked up abruptly.

Their pupils immediately constricted, and their already pale faces turned even whiter.

Not far from them, three large white bears were staring at them and slowly walking over.

"Damn! Am I seeing things? Three Thunderstorm Bears?"

Wu Feng said with a trembling voice.

"It shouldn't be your eyes; I see them too, and they are actually..."

A large amount of sweat broke out on Ou Jie's forehead.

"Three at the Seventh Stage of Qi and Blood Realm! Good grief, where did so many Thunderstorm Bears come from, and with such high cultivation levels!"

Zeng Da said, gritting his teeth.

Meanwhile, Su Lin was staring motionless at the giant bears not far away.

"Given our current situation, we can't even beat one of them. That's a Thunderstorm Bear at the Seventh Stage of Qi and Blood Realm."

"Our blood energy is almost drained; we might not even be able to run away..."

Zeng Da said with a tone of despair.

"And if we run, this array will be ruined, and we will never have another chance to get the thunder crystal..."

"What should we do, Ou Jie?"

Wu Feng and Zeng Da looked at Ou Jie.

Ou Jie's face showed pain, looking worse than if he had eaten excrement.

"This is just too unlucky! We were only half an hour away from finishing!"

The three Thunderstorm Bears in the distance had fierce glints in their eyes and were already running towards them.

"Ou Jie, why don't we release the array early to kill these Thunderstorm Bears?"

Zeng Da said anxiously.

"This... the array can only be used once, then we won't get the thunder crystal."

"We are about to lose our lives. Besides this array, we have no way to beat these Thunderstorm Bears."

"Zeng Da is right. This time is really too unlucky. If we hesitate any longer, we're all going to be eaten by the bears."

The two desperately urged Ou Jie.

Ou Jie's expression was twisted, and his heart felt like it was bleeding. He had originally thought that this time, he had the advantage of time, place, and people.

He had even brought out his trump card just to win the thunder crystal.

He had even found The Grey-robed Person of similar strength to help keep watch.

He didn't expect that he would still fail this time.

The three Thunderstorm Bears were closing in; the three men could even see the bears' gaping maws.

Just as Ou Jie was about to open his mouth to release the array early.

A voice as calm as water came through.

"You continue, I'll go take care of them."

Su Lin said calmly.

As he spoke, he was already slowly walking forward.

"Huh? You're going!"

The group looked at Su Lin, who was walking forward, in shock.

Due to the critical situation, they had even completely overlooked Su Lin just now.

Although Su Lin's blood energy was similar to Ou Jie's, in their eyes, both were around the middle stage of the Qi and Blood Realm.

Even a single Thunderstorm Bear at the Seventh Stage of Qi and Blood Realm could kill a martial artist of the same realm instantly.

Even if Ou Jie went up, he would be killed instantly.

Let alone Su Lin.

And there were three of these powerful Thunderstorm Bears!

In their view, Su Lin was completely crazy.

This was undoubtedly throwing meat buns at a dog; he would never return.

Su Lin would definitely be eaten until not even his bones were left.

"Brother Ma, come back quickly! I'd better release the array early; with this array, we'll be fine. Don't give up hope!"

Ou Jie shouted at Su Lin.

Could it be that Su Lin had broken down before him, even though he hadn't been driven mad by such pressure?

It was all his fault for being too hesitant.

Was he going to watch his teammate, whom he found halfway, get eaten by the Thunderstorm Bears?

"Quick, quick, quick! You two, hurry and release the array with me."

Ou Jie roared at Wu Feng and Zeng Da.

However, Wu Feng and Zeng Da's pupils had already constricted, and they were completely stunned.

In their line of sight, Su Lin's figure had already collided with the three Thunderstorm Bears.

Bang!
