I have been bound in a forbidden place for five hundred years. Why are you crying when I am a casual

Jiang Xuyao ​​was so fast that the other four hadn't even reacted yet, or rather, they didn't care where their unlucky colleague's soul had gone. At this moment, they were being relentlessly pursued by Gu Xiu.

"Damn it, what's wrong with his physical body? Why is it so strong? Why have I never heard of him having such a powerful body before?"

"My attacks are completely ineffective against him!"

"We still need an array. His cultivation seems to be affected, and he can't use it at all. Let's trap him with an array and then think of something else!"

"It's easy to say, but his physical body is so strong that we have no chance at all. The previous formation couldn't stop him at all!"

"..."

They had already taken Gu Xiu seriously enough, but they never expected that Gu Xiu's strength was even greater than they had imagined. Now, being chased and killed, no one could withstand even a single attack from Gu Xiu!

At this moment, Gu Xiu was like a peerless, deadly weapon.

There are no profound sword techniques, no mysterious moves or methods; there is only the purest and most direct physical strength.

Unpretentious.

Yet it is something that is simply irresistible.

They relied solely on sheer force to defeat them, forcing them into a series of retreats from which they could not mount any resistance.

This is a monster!

The only thing they could be thankful for was that their strength was not bad enough; they were able to barely escape from Gu Xiu, who only possessed pure physical strength.

Can……

Their purpose in coming here wasn't to practice escaping; they came to kill Gu Xiu. If the mission fails, the punishment won't be as simple as just a Supreme Being.

"No, if we delay any longer, once the Sword Sect guards notice, our operation will definitely fail, and we probably won't even be able to escape!" The leader was even more anxious. Seeing the formations he set up being destroyed by Gu Xiu before he could even perfect them, he felt his anxiety deepen.

The others understood this principle as well, and they looked at each other in confusion.

"Use the methods of the Supreme Being!"

"At this point, this is probably the only option left."

"Don't hold back!"

To ensure Gu Xiu's certain death, they made thorough preparations, not only in terms of formations and vigilance, but also by carrying magical artifacts containing supreme-level strikes. When they saw Gu Xiu being killed so quickly, they were secretly relieved that they could keep those artifacts for themselves.

But now.

With Gu Xiu displaying such terrifying physical strength, how could they dare to hold back? After all, magical artifacts could be earned again, but if they lost their lives, they would truly have nothing left.

Immediately, the group took out their magical artifacts and tried to activate them quickly by circulating their spiritual energy. But at that moment, Jiang Xuyao ​​suddenly stopped them, saying, "Wait!"

Before anyone could ask further questions, he spoke up: "Gu Xiu is quite strong. He was even able to fight against a Supreme before. This means that even if a Supreme strike is used against a prepared Gu Xiu, it might not be effective. In that case, we'll be truly finished."

These words sent a chill down everyone's spine.

Someone nearby protested, "That's impossible! Gu Xiu is just a Nascent Soul cultivator, while we have the Supreme Strike! He..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Xuyao ​​asked directly, "Those methods you used before, even a Supreme Being might not be able to escape unscathed. And what was the result?"

The man fell silent, casting a shadow over everyone's hearts.

Yes.

Regardless of how they viewed Gu Xiu, his performance had already demonstrated a great deal. If even the Supreme Strike was ineffective, then they were likely doomed this time.

Seeing everyone's fearful expressions, Jiang Xuyao ​​couldn't help but smile, but he maintained his previous expression and changed the subject again:

"Actually, there's no need to worry too much. Before I came here, I learned about Gu Xiu's previous achievements in detail. He does have some methods that allow him to withstand attacks from the Supreme Being, but that was only because he used countless methods and focused all his energy on it. This means that as long as we control the timing of our attack well enough, we can seize the opportunity and kill Gu Xiu here!"

These words raised everyone's expectations again, and upon closer examination, they did indeed make sense.

If they were to openly and directly use their supreme methods to attack Gu Xiu, it might not have any effect on him. However, if they were to use a sneak attack, it would definitely succeed.

only……

"He was chasing us too fast; we had no way to control the timing."

"His physical strength has exceeded expectations, and it's hard to say whether the Supreme Strike will actually be effective."

"The five of us need to work together perfectly; we must seize the opportunity."

It's easy to launch a sneak attack, but how to do it, and whether it can actually hurt Gu Xiu, is something no one can be sure of. In particular, they need to plan how to coordinate their attacks, otherwise what if they use all their methods and Gu Xiu manages to dodge them?

There are many questions.

Fortunately, Jiang Xuyao, who had raised the question, had clearly planned ahead, and said at this moment:

“I have a way to hide myself. Give me all the magical artifacts and do your best to keep him occupied while I launch a sneak attack.”

"It's better for me to do it alone than to work together."

"Otherwise, if we fail to complete this mission, we will all die."

The first sentence made everyone frown subconsciously, but the last sentence made everyone relax again.

indeed.

With others holding them back and one person launching a sneak attack, this is indeed the best approach. Moreover, this is a task assigned by several supreme beings. If they fail to kill Gu Xiu today, even if Jiang Xuyao ​​manages to escape this calamity, he will still be doomed. There is no need to doubt it further.

Just then, Gu Xiu charged in again. Without hesitation, someone immediately took out their supreme magical artifact and handed it to Jiang Xuyao. Jiang Xuyao ​​accepted the artifacts without ceremony, except for the person who had led the group earlier, who hesitated for a moment and said:

"I'll keep this one for myself, just in case."

Everyone present knew what the worst might be, and all eyes turned to Jiang Xuyao. Fortunately, Jiang Xuyao ​​wasn't annoyed. He nodded and said, "That's right. You should try to keep Gu Xiu occupied and hold him back." Then, he turned into a shadow and disappeared before everyone's eyes.

Seeing this, the group gritted their teeth and stopped running away. Instead, they turned around and began to fight Gu Xiu.

They needed to draw Gu Xiu away from Jiang Xuyao ​​so that he could find an opportunity to launch a sneak attack. Naturally, they couldn't just keep running away; they had to fight for their lives.

The great battle resumed.

Gu Xiu was indeed terrifying. He didn't use any spiritual energy or soul-related spells, but he relied solely on his physical strength to fight back and forth with four Great Perfection Void Refinement cultivators, forcing them to use all sorts of secret techniques and methods, yet he didn't lose the slightest advantage.

But at this crucial moment, no one dared to back down.

No matter how terrifying Gu Xiu's performance was, in order to give their companion Jiang Xuyao ​​an opportunity, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and push forward.

Can……

As they stared at each other, they sensed something was wrong.

"Jiang Xuyao, why haven't you made a move yet!"

"Damn it, that was a perfect opportunity just now, what were you doing?"

"Hurry and help! We can't hold on much longer!"

They thought Jiang Xuyao ​​would make a move soon and unleash his Supreme Strike, but to their surprise, the vanished Jiang Xuyao ​​showed no sign of making a move from beginning to end.

even……

"Damn it, where did Jiang Xuyao ​​go? Why can't I sense him anymore!"

"He...he wouldn't have abandoned us and run away, would he?"

"That bastard, if Gu Xiu doesn't die, he will definitely be dealt with by the Supreme One. What does he want to do?"

To their horror, they discovered that Jiang Xuyao, who had taken their supreme strike, had vanished without a trace. They couldn't even sense him. This infuriated them. Some were caught off guard by Gu Xiu's sudden attack, which shattered half of their bodies with a single punch.

Although he managed to escape by sheer luck, he was seriously injured and clearly had no strength left to fight.

this moment.

The hatred in everyone's hearts reached its peak.

They didn't hate Gu Xiu, nor those supreme beings who assigned tasks, but Jiang Xuyao ​​who deceived them!

only……

At this moment, Jiang Xuyao, whom they resented, was leisurely somewhere, holding the five magical artifacts he had acquired that contained the power of a supreme strike, and slightly opened his mouth.

I didn't see him make any move.

But a wisp of smoke, like a thread, drifted from among the five magical artifacts, meandering and winding its way towards his mouth.

He was naturally "Gu Xiu".

After suppressing the distorted Gu Xiu himself, he gained control of this body.

He found his true self and came into reality.

But at a cost.

The biggest cost was that he couldn't use his power, which could even crush immortals, and could only exert the power that this body possessed.

Worse.

Even the Devouring Source Immortal Technique that he had previously mastered seemed difficult to unleash in a short time. Otherwise, he wouldn't need to waste so much energy transforming into Jiang Xuyao's appearance.

but……

The problem is not big.
