Death… And Me

Chapter 1682 Counter

Libraia and the other elders in the Jhiod Sect building were truly surprised by what they saw. ”That boy has an amazing sensory ability. It seems to be related to those eyes of his.”

”Do you think theyʼll bring him along to take all twelve tests?” Govin wondered all of a sudden.

Iglet shook his head, saying, ”I donʼt think so. If that was the case, they would have taken him for the previous tests too. They seem to be using his ability just to pass this test.”

Libraia narrowed her eyes after that. ”Heʼs very young and has very good cultivation. Not to mention he has those eyes. It would be a shame if we couldnʼt bring such talent to the sect. Fortunately, the participants who complete the twelve tests are allowed to bring two people with them into Jhiod Continent. They just need to have a cultivation level lower than themselves. Iʼll tell them that they can bring the boy together.”

Rean and Roan didnʼt hear anything, obviously. They were just focused on recovering their senses. With Luanʼs eye ability, Rean, Roan, Kentucky, and Celis recovered their five senses several times faster than anyone else. Soon after, they used Luanʼs ability to help Erla, Min, and Habac get their own senses back as well.

Rean then looked at Roan after that. ”Alright, Roan. The four of us will be taking our leave. You guys can continue with your own tests.”

Roan didnʼt mind. ”Donʼt forget to crush the badges if you see youʼre going to die.”

And just like that, Reanʼs group separated from the others while Luan continued his search for more Sense Seeds.

Reanʼs group then used their battle formation to fuel their speed as they traveled from zone to zone nonstop. They could see several battles all throughout the realm for the seeds. One or other cultivator, demon beast, or spirit had recovered their vision or some other sense. However, those ones were very rare since they couldnʼt tell where the seeds were like Luan did.

Obviously, Reanʼs group was looking for Blansin and his teammates. The longer they took to find them, the higher the chances that those mercenaries would recover their senses. They had to strike while they were still oblivious to the early recovery of their group.

”There!” Habac suddenly pointed in a direction far into the distance. It was hard to make out the group in the distance, but Habac was pretty sure that that was the group they were looking for. After all, the majority of the participants entered this test with very small groups of two, three, or at most four members. The mercenary group, on the other hand, had ten members, so it was easy to pick them out.

Erlaʼs eyes lit up once she saw them. She was looking for a way to vent her anger after what happened to the White Scaled Carp race. Of course, those mercenaries trying to capture her were the perfect outlet.

To make things better, the mercenary group was already fighting two more groups. They were all inside the Sound Zone, so most of them could only hear things. That made it quite difficult to aim at the right targets. Blansinʼs larger group size had paid off at least. Thanks to that, they had absorbed seven seeds already. Hume, their group leader, obviously was the first one to take five seeds and recover all his senses.

As for the other two seeds, they were given to Blansin. After all, he was the one who would be watching the mercenaries work while they tried to capture Erla.

Nevertheless, Huma was locked in battle with another cultivator in the Peak Stage of the Void Tempering Realm. His opponents havenʼt absorbed five seeds yet, but he did get his vision back, at least. Since the zone was the sound one, he could both see and hear, which was enough for him to fight Hume.

Reanʼs group assessed the situation before finally deciding on the targets. ”Other than Blansin, the rest of them seem to only have access to sound. Be ready. Weʼll attack them when theyʼre at their most vulnerable. We need to eliminate as many as possible in a single strike.”

Rean was using his Light bending skill, so it was obvious that no one noticed his presence. Divine Sense was blocked in this realm, so few had the ability to detect where his group was. Thatʼs also how they approached Blansinʼs group without being noticed by anyone in that zone, including other groups.

Rean and the other then waited for a moment where Hume would be too busy to notice their actions until finally, Humeʼs enemy forced him to open some distance from his own group. ”Now!”

Right behind Blansinʼs group, Rean and the others used their strongest abilities.

ʼLife Fire, First Form, Flame Emperor Slash!ʼ

ʼMyriad Water Dragons!ʼ

ʼHeavensʼ Calamity!ʼ

ʼThree Sunsʼ Collision!ʼ

Rean especially aimed his Flame Emperor Slash against the other Peak Stage Void Tempering Realm mercenary who still hadnʼt recovered any of his senses. As for the others, they wanted to make sure they would get rid of at least one opponent each, so they aimed for the Initial or Middle Stage Void Tempering Realm ones.

*Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom...!*

Blansinʼs group was already busy fighting with the help of sound the other groups made for the Sense Seed in that Sound Zone. Now that a new enemy had appeared completely unnoticed, they had no chance to avoid it.

*Arrrrgh!*

*Ahhhhh!*

Immediately, four mercenaries were killed or heavily injured. Of course, Reanʼs group purposely avoided hitting Blansin.

”What?!” Hume heard the screams of his group members as his vision immediately turned in their direction. Only then did he see Rean and everyone else. ”Itʼs you!”

He wasnʼt happy that his targets had suddenly appeared. After all, four members of his group were immediately put out of commission. Worst of all, Rean didnʼt hold back with his Flame Emperor Slash at all. A strike at full strength from him was definitely at the Peak Stage Void Tempering Realm in strength. With that said, the other Peak Stage Void Tempering Realm mercenary died before even having the chance to activate his badge.
