Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Yes, Ye Qing discovered that Tang Xin was constantly using the high mobility of the exoskeleton device to escape.

Although he was also cutting down some people along the way, Tang Xin was also making his move. In a short period of time, at least five or six monks fell to the blade in his hand!

Seeing this, Ye Qing became extremely anxious.

He regretted not getting some exoskeleton devices; if they had, he would have used them too. How could Tang Xin have escaped like this!

He looked around. The battlefield, after the initial skirmishes, had gradually become intense!

Although Su Liuyun and his group initially eliminated many people thanks to their top-tier expertise, the opposing side was not stupid either. After discovering the experts, they used their numerical advantage to launch a siege... As a result, the advantages that Su Liuyun and his group could maintain gradually diminished.

Ye Qing felt that if they continued fighting like this, their advantage in terrain might diminish further!

However, the Master of Suspension did not give a signal to retreat, so he could only hold on.

Seeing that he couldn't kill Tang Xin, he chose to deal with other people.

At this moment, he used the Divine Shadow Step to traverse the battlefield, and wherever he passed, blood flew out continuously.

At the same time, he also observed other places.

Lin Qianyu!

This was Lin Qianyu's first time on such a battlefield, and he was somewhat worried that she wouldn't be able to adapt, or that she might be unable to unleash her full potential due to fear and dread.

To Ye Qing's surprise, Lin Qianyu adapted much faster than he had expected.

After all, she was a top expert, and the strength of her internal energy was not too weak. She stayed close behind Su Liuyun to help him, and along the way, she even managed to cut down two or three people with the dagger in her hand!

Ye Qing kept waving the knife in his hand.

At some point, he suddenly heard birdsong!

"retreat!"

Ye Qing's heart stirred. Ignoring Tang Xin, he used the Divine Shadow Step to arrive in front of Li Yang and Jing Yan. He forced the super fighter back with a single strike.

Li Yang was panting heavily. He glanced at Ye Qing, then without further hesitation, quickly retreated.

"The corpses on the ground!" Ye Qing roared.

Even without him saying anything, Li Yang realized what was happening. He picked up a corpse with one hand and quickly retreated.

Jingyan, standing beside him, looked on with fear and immediately began to run away!

Ye Qing gave the masked man a deep look and said, "Zong family, I will exterminate your entire clan!"

After saying that, he quickly retreated, carrying two corpses that had fallen to the ground along the way.

The monks scattered in all directions!

Ge Yan roared, "Chase!"

"Don't chase!"

Just then, Tang Xin let out a low growl.

Ge Yan roared in fury, "They've already retreated, why aren't we pursuing them!"

Tang Xin said, "I'll say it again: they are much more familiar with the terrain around here than we are. If we continue to pursue them, they will find natural defenses to launch a counterattack, and our losses will become extremely huge."

Ge Yan looked around at the large number of corpses lying on the ground, his eyes filled with cold light. Then he gritted his teeth and said, "I can't wait a moment longer to enter the Hidden Sect!"

Tang Xin said, "We only need to finish tomorrow morning. Once we've completed our reconnaissance by then, we'll be able to find a safe enough route. As long as we get into the Hidden Sect, they'll have no advantage left! And tonight's night raid will definitely be a full-scale attack, giving us a better understanding of their strength!"

"Where is Tang Ju?" Ge Yan asked.

"call out!"

Just then, a figure landed on the ground. Tang Ju, clutching his chest, came to the side.

"Hmm?" Seeing Tang Ju's appearance, Ge Yan said with a gloomy expression, "Why didn't you use any hidden weapons? If you had used hidden weapons to break the Eighteen Arhats Formation, this battle could have been resolved today!"

"Are you injured?" Tang Xin frowned and asked, looking at the blood at the corner of Tang Ju's mouth.

Tang Ju took a deep breath and said, "It's nothing serious."

"Who could hurt you?" Ge Yan frowned and said, "Xuan Kong and Ye Qing are both on the battlefield, could it be that Chen Banxian?"

Tang Ju nodded, looking at Ge Yan with a solemn expression, and said, "Old Demon Ge, this Chen Banxian is very strong!"

"How strong can an old man with declining physical functions be?" Ge Yan said, "You're not deliberately acting against me, are you!"

"Acting on you?" Tang Ju roared, "This battle concerns the life and death of my Tang Clan, I'm more anxious than you are!"

"Stop arguing!" a masked man said. "Tell me, what exactly is the strength of that Chen Banxian?"

"Top ten on the Heavenly Ranking, conservatively speaking!" Tang Ju said, "And I feel that he didn't use his full strength against me."

……

Meanwhile, Ye Qing and his group were moving quickly through the mountains and forests. After traveling for a while, they stopped and, following the signal from the Suspended Master, decided to launch a counterattack on the spot.

After waiting for a while, they discovered that the other side's people had not followed!

Master Suspended narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "There is indeed a master among the crowd, yet they haven't given chase!"

In this battle, the night raid, the feigned retreat, and the subsequent counterattack were all part of their plan.

Moreover, this on-the-spot counterattack was also a crucial part of the operation; however, the opponent did not fall for it!

Just like at the beginning, when they suffered heavy losses in Eagle Valley, they did not rashly leave Eagle Valley.

Their two attempts to set up the plan both failed.

They waited for a while, but the other side didn't follow. Master Suspended gave a bitter smile and said, "There's not much we can do now. Most likely, we'll have to fight them to the death!"

Ye Qing gritted her teeth and said, "Let's go back!"

Under the cover of night, the group returned to the Hidden Gate.

The group carried back a total of nine corpses.

Besides Ye Qing and Li Yang, other people also carried some corpses back to the Hidden Sect.

The reason they carried the corpses back was actually quite simple: it was for the exoskeleton devices on the bodies.

This thing provides a tremendous boost to a person during battle.

Although he cannot enhance his true energy, he can improve his mobility and also gain a certain boost in strength.

"Damn it!" Li Yang examined the exoskeleton on the ground and said, "They're all second-generation exoskeletons, but with this thing, the enhancement is still there. If we had known they would attack, we should have tried to get a few fourth-generation exoskeletons and wiped them out tonight!"

Ye Qing pondered for a moment, then raised his head and looked at the Suspended Master, asking, "Master, do you know how to use an exoskeleton device?"

The levitation master shook his head and said, "No!"

Ye Qing thought to himself that it was a pity.

"I can!" Chen Banxian said. "Give me a set, and when we fight again, I guarantee I'll kill two super ones for you!"

Ye Qing looked at Chen Banxian and asked, "Where are your clothes?"

At this moment, Chen Banxian was shirtless, his body covered in muscles, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

"Holy crap!" Li Yang exclaimed, "Old man, you're amazing! I never knew you had such a muscular physique!"

"How do you know how to use an exoskeleton?" Ye Qing asked, slightly surprised.

"What's it to you why I know how to use it!" Chen Banxian said with a sneer. "Just tell me if you're giving it to me or not!"

"Here you go!" Ye Qing said.

"When they attack, I'll kill Tang Ju for you!" Chen Banxian said. "Damn it, this thing is really disgusting. If it weren't for this thing, Tang Ju would be dead today!"

"Can you kill Tang Ju?" Ye Qing asked.

"You're just chickens and dogs, one punch each!" Chen Banxian said with a sneer.

Just then, Monk Jingxin strode up, a look of displeasure on his face.

"What about the casualties?" the Suspended Master asked.

Monk Jingxin took a deep breath, then cupped his hands to Ye Qing and the others and said, "More than thirty people have not returned, and more than a dozen have lost their fighting ability. Benefactor Qin Wanwan is treating them, but I'm afraid they won't be able to fight for several days."

More than 30 people have not returned, which means that they have most likely died outside!

Upon hearing this number, Ye Qing felt a sharp pain in his heart. He clenched his fists, looked at Master Hungry Suspended, and opened his mouth!

“Don’t apologize!” Master Suspended said, “If you really have to feel sorry, then… bury all those people outside in the Hidden Gate.”
