hmm I'm

Chapter 250: Chapter 48: Sudden Storm!_2

Several cultivators nearby also sensed this keenly.

Some felt uneasy, while others seemed delighted.

After mulling it over, Wang Ba simply chose to ignore it.

These people were still useful, at least until the completion of the formation setup. Even if they angered him, he wouldn't strike them down.

But after…

He might have a temper, but it doesn't mean he would allow cultivators in the Qi Refining stage to walk all over him.

Hua Meng, however, hesitated before taking the initiative to approach.

"Senior, we still need them to complete the mission, so you mustn't…"

Hua iMeng quietly tried to appease him.

Wang Ba waved his hand, didn't explain anything and instead informed Hua

Meng about the defensive information he obtained from the incense-burning Dao cultivator.

"You can lead the way, or tell that You Wanli, it doesn't matter. 1 only have one goal, to complete the mission! Then, even if there are tasks afterward, I can take a break."

Wan Ba stated directly.

Hearing this, Hua Meng was taken aback for a moment, then frowned in thought, revealing a look of realization and awe.

"I understand your deep intentions, senior."

After saying this, Hua Meng left Wang Ba's side and went behind You Wanli, whispering something into his ear.

Wang Ba was quite puzzled, what deep intentions of his? Why did he not understand himself?

However, Hua Meng did a good job. Under the leadership of You Wanli, these cultivators who didn't respect Wang Ba moved quickly through the cracks in the defense set up by the incense-burning Dao Cultivator.

Wang Ba found this quite comforting.

"This You Wanli is somewhat useful, at least he's saving me some trouble."

He used this time to follow along while flying, seizing every moment to think about how to combine the common spells he had mastered.

He had learned a lot of Class II spells. Even though they were not particularly powerful, he believed that since he had learnt them, he should try to make use of them.

So he thought of combining spells to form a routine, using it as a means of self defense.

Whenever he had free time, he would contemplate on this and he had made some progress, but it still needed to be tested.

Under You Wanli's guidance, Wang Ba's team proceeded quite smoothly. Before long, they could already see the peaks of Luolan Mountain in the distance.

However, an unexpected event soon occurred.

Wang Ba's team ran head-on into three Class I cultivators of the Incense Fire Dao.

You Wanli reacted extremely quickly, urging his flying sword to fight against two opponents, taking the initiative to engage them.

The remaining cultivator, however, was intercepted by Wang Ba.

The cultivator was frightened witnessing Wang Ba's aura of Foundation Establishment.

However, he was soon dumbstruck.

To his surprise, despite the overwhelming momentum of Wang Ba's spells, their power was such that… even he could withstand?

Despite the speed at which Wang Ba's spells were cast, which was too fast for him to counter-attack or even react, these spells barely caused any damage when they hit him.

The Incense Fire Dao Cultivator was stunned.

Had he suddenly become powerful?

Just when he was about to fiercely break free from Wang Ba's spells, preparing to counterattack.

At this moment, Wang Ba of a sudden stopped casting spells, slightly frowned, then casually slapped at him.

The Incense Fire Dao Cultivator's face showed disdain, "Ha! That's all the better you can do?"

However, in the next second, the look of disdain on his face immediately turned into one of horror!

Bang!

Just before he died, his eyes were still filled with confusion…

Ignoring the increasingly tangible skeptical gazes from the cultivators around him, Wang Ba couldn't be bothered any more.

He had distinctly released his mana till it was roughly equivalent to that of the Incense Fire Dao cultivator's level, then tested out his combined spells. But he was not very satisfied with the result.

The main issue was that the linking of the spells was not smooth enough, and it lacked control over the enemy.

As a result, the series of spells he casted could not produce a cumulative effect.

Unless the enemy stood still.

Otherwise, according to Wang Ba's speculation, if he were to conjure seven or eight attacking spells consecutively, even an average powerful spell would likely not compete with its power.

But these were not urgent matters, he just needed more practice, and to acquire some special spells that could be integrated into the system if he had the opportunity.

As for these Qi refining cultivators, naturally they wouldn't understand all this, their doubt about Wang Ba's strength grew even more.

There were even some who suspected that Wang Ba had never actually reached the Foundation Establishment stage, suspecting that he might be concealing his identity, or that the higher-ups had made some mistakes.

You Wanli's arrogance and skepticism towards Wang Ba was no longer concealed.

However, now was no time for internal strife and everyone understood this.

Moreover, since Master Wang was no longer commanding the team, it was clear that he had conferred command to You Wanli.

Under such circumstances, nobody put their focus on Wang Ba, and gradually began to look to You Wanli as their leader.

After disposing of the corpses of three Incense Fire Dao cultivators, they quickly accelerated towards the distant Luolan Mountain.

The closer they got to Luolan iMountain.

You Wanli suddenly stopped and coughed once, and then quietly gave orders:

"Gentlemen, the closer we get to this moment, the more careful we need to be! Once we get onto the mountain, Jiang will scout out suitable locations for setting up the formation, Xi will keep guard, and as for you Mu…."

Chapter 251: Chapter 48: Sudden Storm!_3

He arranged specific tasks for several cultivators. Because he had performed outstandingly in the previous two battles, most of the cultivators deeply admired him, except for a few.

They promptly nodded in agreement.

You Wanli, pleased with the situation, nodded approvingly. His gaze swept over Wang Ba and then glanced at him triumphantly.

How fulfilling it was to suppress a Foundation Establishment Cultivator with the status of a Qi Refining cultivator!

Perhaps in his mind, suppressing Wang Ba meant he himself had become a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Even though he knew very well he was not.

Wang Ba turned his head away.

He really didn't want to see this foolish man flaunting his might in front of him anymore.

He feared he might lose control and kill him outright.

This action, witnessed by You Wanli, seemed to enhance the implication of submission.

You Wanli's spirit instantly surged!

Full of pride and vigor, he set his gaze on the distant Luolan Mountain and then proclaimed in a low yet compelling voice;

"Everyone, let's move!"

With that, he took off flying with his head held high.

The others followed suit.

However, at that moment, the situation abruptly changed!

A dark golden glow flashed by!

You Wanli, leading the group, didn't even have time to react. He was instantly decapitated by the dark golden glow!

His head flew high in the air, his rolling face seemingly filled with astonishment and confusion.

The cultivators reacted with dumbfounded expressions, staring blankly at You Wanli. One moment he had been confidently demonstrating his plans, the next, nothing was left of him but a headless body.

Who could have reacted in time?

By the time the cultivators had come out of their initial shock, they saw the dark golden glow was attacking again!

The cultivators were horrified!

But just then…

A voice filled with rage suddenly rang out:

"Seeking death!"

As the voice faded.

A cultivator's figure surpassed everyone, mana churning, rapidly forming a large hand, which struck the dark golden glow from the side!

The dark golden glow instantly shattered, and a dark golden saber fell from the glow.

"Eh?!"

A surprised exclamation came from the surroundings.

The cultivator looked up, revealing his face.

It was Wang Ba!

Seeing this, the other cultivators had shocked expressions.

"How, how could he…"

Somebody gasped in disbelief.

They were both amazed and delighted, but mostly puzzled.

At the front of the crowd, Wang Ba, his spiritual sense scanning around, suddenly revealed a touch of coldness in his eyes:

"So, you were hiding here!"

With that, he quickly pulled out a human skin drum from his storage bag and gave it a hefty strike with his soul.

The soul fluctuation shot out, aimed at a certain spot.

Bang!

Suddenly, a figure was forced to retreat from a nearby cluster of trees.

The figure moved like the wind, making the cultivators around him pale!

Those experienced and knowledgeable among them couldn't help but exclaim:

"This aura… it's a middle-stage Foundation Establishment!"

"What?!"

But what shocked them even more was that Wang Ba had already transformed into a streak of light and caught up with the figure with even greater speed!

Then, under the stunned gazes of the cultivators, Wang Ba made a swing with his hand.

A series of spells rained down like a storm, as if he were not using any mana at all!

The middle-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator didn't even have a chance to counter-attack before being quickly engulfed by these spells!

What shocked the cultivators was that beneath such astonishing spells, this mysterious cultivator managed to stand up, even mildly scornful.

He seemed to be saying that these spells were just tickling him.

He even rounded his arm, preparing to counterattack.

However, his smirk quickly turned into horror!

"No!"

The other cultivator's eyes bulged wide open!

However, one spell after another, like a violent storm, offered him no opportunity to counterattack and directly blasted through his physical body when they stacked up!

In the end, astonishing droplets that contained a considerable aura rained down.

An invisible needle was hidden within the droplets, shooting out when the droplets splashed.

In the blink of an eye, before the shocked gaze of the cultivators.

A middle-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator had been made utterly silent by Wang Ba.

The atmosphere turned instantly silent to the point of an extreme!

However, Wang Ba was somewhat suspicious.
