I only have passive skills, so I'm extremely cautious

"You are like this... that's all. We are not the same kind of people." Yu Qixuan glanced at Lei Lichen and waved his hand, "Qiya, let's go."

Yu Qiya and several students from the Imperial Academy followed and reached another hill.

Seeing them go away, Lei Lichen curled his lips, "Prince, you are in a high position and no one dares to offend you. How can you understand the trembling of people like us?"

His target is not Yuan Wusha, nor Zheng Haichuan and others who were involved for no reason, but Chen Zhong who is hiding behind.

And his behavior happened to be hated by someone.

Yu Qixuan really didn't like it. He felt that using this method was an insult to his personality. The strong should fight uprightly until one side can't stand up.

It's not that he doesn't know how to plot. If he really wants to play, he has the confidence to stand out from his brothers and become the next emperor, but he knows that if a spiritual martial artist wants to go further, he must have an ambition as solid as a rock, and use this as a belief to spur himself, so that he can transcend the ordinary and become a saint.

Therefore, he did not agree with Lei Lichen's behavior of diverting troubles, but he never used his status as a prince to pressure others, so he had to go his separate ways.

"It seems that our prince is really angry." Sima Xiao raised the corner of his mouth, smiling.

Lei Lichen snorted coldly, "Don't be sarcastic here, leave as soon as possible if you want to leave."

Sima Xiao was not angry either, squinting his eyes half asleep and half awake, with his arms placed on his chest in a Buddhist manner, as if he did not hear the hostility in Lei Lichen's mouth.

He smiled casually, "Alas, I also want to see what kind of reinforcements Yuan Wusha can find with fireworks, and I am more curious about what will happen next."

The battle below has not officially started yet. There are more and more ancient demons anyway. It seems that the ancient battlefield is mobilizing the energy of the entire range. It senses that the number of humans here is huge, so it will subconsciously gather ancient demons to guard against it.

The signal talisman did attract the attention of many people. Not long after, heads popped out from a distance, peeking at the more than 200 people surrounded by ancient demons.

Although some of the students from their own academy were surrounded, they could not rescue them without a strong leader in the face of such a battle.

Moreover, even if they could not win, they could choose to crush the jade token, and the defensive shield could ensure their escape.

After all, no one wanted to be eliminated. As long as they entered the second round of the competition, the rewards they could get would change in quality and quantity.

As the old saying goes, it is better to let a friend die than to let me die. That's the truth!

"Haichuan, cooperate inside and outside!"

At this time, several other students in the late stage of the small success realm from the Four-party United Academy came.

Whoosh!

A thousand meters away, a signal talisman rose to the sky and exploded into fireworks.

Yuan Wusha was delighted, "Old Zheng, let's play bread and meat with these ancient demons!"

Chen Zhong stood on the top of a mountain, thinking about countermeasures.

Now the number of ancient demons is already quite terrifying. It can be judged that the ancient battlefield has concentrated most of its energy here, trying to kill the invaders at one time.

Chen Zhong would not be stupid enough to rush in and get trapped with Yuan Wusha. He really didn't have a good way to quickly solve the ancient demon.

However, there are already thousands of students gathered here, which is a good fighting force. They need to contribute to the battle against the ancient demon. He only needs to provide them with a little help.

It can not only help Yuan Wusha and others escape, but also consume the spiritual power of these contestants. Chen Zhong believes that as long as the melee starts thoroughly, half of them will be eliminated, withdraw or die.

This undoubtedly reduces the number of people in the second round and reduces the incidence of emergencies.

He doesn't care whether Tianyan Academy can win the championship. His goal is not here. Anyway, Yuan Wusha is the top of the monster list, and it is Yuan Wusha who stands on it to blow the wind and pay attention. Except for his enemies, not many people will pay attention to him.

To put it simply, Yuan Wusha is his windshield, attracting attention.

Therefore, Yuan Wusha cannot be eliminated.

"Seniors, I have some holy light talismans here that can restrain the ancient demons. I will trigger them later. I hope you will seize the opportunity and kill them all!"

Chen Zhong stood up and said respectfully.

"Okay, thank you, junior brother!"

Chen Zhong's words were responded to by many people, including the new seniors who were ranked second and third on the Tianyan Monster List.

Chen Zhong took out a thick stack of holy light talismans, cut the rubber band, and then swung it out like a fairy scattering flowers.

The talismans exploded in the sky above the wasteland, and the next second, the platinum-colored sacred light burst out, like an iron rod piercing through the damp black curtain, even the cloudy sky seemed like noon.

The holy light was radial, falling in beams, which did not have much effect on the spiritual warriors, but the ancient demons were miserable, roaring miserably and silently, rolling on the ground and unable to control themselves.

"Now!" Chen Zhong was like a fighter blowing a battle horn. With a wave of his hand, he attacked the ancient demons inside and outside.

The scene was chaotic for a while, but this was exactly what Chen Zhong wanted.

Of course, Lei Lichen was waiting for this moment.

Chen Zhong was entangled by several ancient demons and ran to the back of the mountain where there were few people in the rear.

In the end, the ancient demon scratched his arm, leaving a bloody wound.

A few minutes later, Chen Zhong had difficulty dealing with two ancient demons and limped to heal his wounds.

"Tsk, how strong did I think you were? You want to turn the world upside down with just this little ability?"

As expected, Lei Lichen appeared.

"Yan Chong is also making a fuss. Why is he afraid of you? I said that Tianyan Academy cannot be visited. My two younger brothers are the same. They are all becoming too cowardly!"

"Don't say I look down on you. With my status and position, I've already given you face by being able to play with you for so long!"

Lei Lichen kept on talking and making sarcastic remarks, and his words were so eloquent.

The younger brother beside him didn't have much of a problem at first, because he knew the temper of his young master. He always liked to pour out his heart before killing someone, but this time, he seemed to have said too much nonsense.

A student who had just been with Lei Lichen for a short time said in a low voice, "Mr. Chen, let's get down to business, shall we?"

Swish!

Lei Lichen slapped half of the student's face with a backhand slap, and the white blood flowed all over the floor.

"Tsk!"

He smacked his lips, and suddenly felt that what the dead student said seemed to make sense, and that he was indeed a little bit wrong just now.

But since he had already killed him, he had no choice but to tear off the skin that was still attached to his palm and stick it on the head of the dead student, so as to give him a complete body.

Chen Zhong changed his tiredness and clapped his hands in amazement. "You are so cruel to your own people. I am a little curious. Will you be hacked to death by your men while you sleep one day?"

"Don't worry about it." Lei Lichen stopped talking and drew his sword to cut.

Chen Zhong rolled over and barely avoided it.

"Surround him, don't let him run away!"

Seven or eight people rushed forward and blocked Chen Zhong's retreat.

"You have people? I have people too." Chen Zhong twisted his neck.

After speaking, more than a dozen figures covered in black clothes jumped out, all of them exuding a cold and dead breath.

"All of them are in the minor realm!" Lei Lichen was shocked.

Chen Zhong took action, and at the same time, the light curtain array and the soundproof array rose up, and streams of light shot out from the ground, smashing all the drones that came.

These dozen figures are naturally one of Chen Zhong's trump cards - corpse puppets!

Anyway, if there were suitable corpses of strong men, he would collect them. He never let himself rest when he shouldn't. His hands and brain were working almost 24 hours a day, either refining talismans and setting up formations or refining corpses.

Tired?

If being a little tired could guarantee his life, Chen Zhong would be willing to do it.

"Which academies are you from! You are hiding your head and showing your tail, are you afraid of being targeted by our Lei family?" Lei Lichen thought that these corpses were contestants who defected to Chen Zhong.

No one paid attention to him, only the screams of his men came one after another, punching the flesh and bursting blood.

And he was so confused that he didn't notice the abnormal attack methods of the corpses.

Huh——

Chen Zhong certainly wouldn't be idle, and threw a bunch of talismans.

At first, Lei Lichen was at ease.

A few minutes later, with the continuous output of talismans, he gradually became exhausted, and his forehead was covered with sweat.

When Chen Zhong threw out the thousandth talisman, Lei Lichen completely collapsed and cursed, "Fuck, fuck, are you still a human being!"

The distance between the two was always kept at 500 meters, all thanks to Chen Zhong's efforts.

Throwing talismans hard...

Lei Lichen desperately found that he couldn't get close to him at all, let alone kill him. Chen Zhong, who was 500 meters away, was so slippery that his ten spiritual skills were in vain. Not only did he run out of spiritual power, but he also looked stupid!

Chen Zhong undoubtedly achieved "talisman freedom", so he could suppress others with his wealth.

Puff——

Another mouthful of black blood spurted out. Lei Lichen knew that he could not resist and wanted to retreat.

Relying on pure strength, he was confident that he could win an overwhelming victory, but Chen Zhong didn't buy it and just kept smashing talismans.

He was severely injured by the talisman!

What a shame!

Lei Lichen tried to suppress his frustration, vaguely understanding why Yan Chong attached so much importance to Chen Zhong.

He learned all his scheming from Yan Chong. Even Yan Chong was fooled, but he still looked down on Chen Zhong. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh at himself, "I am the clown!"

"As long as the green mountains remain, there is no need to worry about firewood." This famous saying from ancient times automatically popped up in Lei Lichen's mind when Chen Zhong took out ten fourth-grade talismans.

Snap!

Lei Lichen crushed the jade card as fast as he killed his men.

The defense shield appeared, and the red reminder was very dazzling.

The light curtain array faded, Chen Zhong put away his offensive, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

He played this trick not to kill Lei Lichen, but to create an alibi, an alibi that even the enemy had to admit!

This proof is not that important, but with Chen Zhong's character, it is necessary whether it is necessary or not.

The battle over there was still going on. With the participation of Yu Qixuan and others, the ancient demons gradually weakened, and finally disappeared and merged into the ground. The ancient battlefield also became extremely quiet.

There were also many corpses of contestants on the ground. How could there be no death in the fight?

Tut tut tut...

The transport plane arrived. Because many people chose to withdraw from this battle, they were protected by the defense shield and boarded the cabin one by one. Among them was Lei Lichen with a gloomy face.

When everyone found him, they were all shocked and puzzled. They didn't know how this demon of the eighth level of the small success realm was eliminated.

Chen Zhong believed that Lei Lichen would not easily say this shame.

Only Yuan Wusha and Sima Xiao's eyes were rolling.

Yuan Wusha was not mentioned. He was the person who knew Chen Zhong best. Anyway, in his intuition, Lei Lichen's withdrawal was related to Chen Zhong.

"Interesting, interesting." Sima Xiao was amazed, his plain robe fluttered in the wind, and his half-closed eyes curved into crescents.

The exhausted people lost their will to fight and all collapsed on the ground to recover from their wounds. At this moment, regardless of their colleges, they were all comrades who would live and die together.

"Senior, help me guard for a while while I heal my wounds."

Chen Zhong staggered out and sat down cross-legged weakly.

"Okay." Yuan Wuzha stood guard beside him.

...

Although the ancient battlefield was not divided by day or night, it was now two or three o'clock in the middle of the night outside.

The square outside the palace was still bustling with people, but compared to the beginning, there were at least half fewer people.

After all, there were TVs and mobile phones to watch live broadcasts, so there was no need to stay outside to feed mosquitoes.

Lei Family Courtyard, a garden located west of the imperial capital.

"Chen'er was eliminated?" Lei Shaoyu, the head of the Lei family, asked in disbelief.

"Yes." The old housekeeper repeated, "The young master is now recuperating at the competition office in the palace. Should we go and see him?"

Lei Shaoyu was silent for a while, then stood up, "Let's go."

However, as soon as he stood up, he looked ahead in fear.

A white figure appeared in the garden at some point, looking at the two people in the ancient villa.

At the same time, a series of fourth-grade light curtain arrays, soundproof arrays, confinement arrays, and signal isolation arrays were activated, a total of twenty-seven fourth-grade arrays!

Lei Shaoyu felt even more depressed. These spiritual arrays alone were enough to threaten him, who was at the ninth level of the Soul Tempering Realm.

Not to mention that... Grandmaster Realm.

"The one who came here is not kind!" Lei Shaoyu pondered.

"She... her toes didn't touch the ground!" The old housekeeper was stunned, and immediately summoned up the courage to shout, "I don't know why the senior visited so late at night..."

Buzz——

The cold air swept past, and a thin ice knife flew, and the old housekeeper at the second level of the Soul Tempering Realm was beheaded.

"Don't leave anyone above the Minor Success Realm." Yang Qin murmured softly. This was Chen Zhong's order.

In addition to her, there were dozens of corpse-refining puppets guarding the surroundings of the garden to prevent anyone from escaping and reporting the news.

Yang Qin raised her palm, and a guqin spiritual instrument emerged. Her ten fingers played, and the music wrapped in cold murderous aura raged in the mountains.

A one-sided crushing was taking place here.

On another hill, the real Chen Zhong stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the opposite side expressionlessly.

Although the light curtain array and other spiritual arrays are low-key, they are still easily detected by the imperial capital where hidden dragons and crouching tigers are hidden, so time is tight and a quick battle is needed.

But fortunately, with Yu Lingli's mediation, no one from the Judgment Office will be hanging around here tonight.

"At first, I just wanted to protect myself..."

Listening to the screams and cries coming from the headset, Chen Zhong pulled the corners of his mouth.

Halfway through, Chen Zhong jumped down the hill wearing a mask, entered the villa, and wandered around in front of a group of people.

"Chen Zhong, let's go!" Yang Qin called him, the voice was neither loud nor small, but it was guaranteed that someone could hear it.

Eight minutes later, Chen Zhong kept time, "Retreat."

The easily exposed corpse puppets returned first. After confirming that there were no omissions, Chen Zhong lifted the spirit formation and activated the self-destruction device of the spirit formation to prevent people from recognizing the method.

The idea of ​​this self-destruction device was not his, but came from his cousin's notebook.

Finally, Yang Qin turned into a gust of cold wind and disappeared into the night.

At the bottom of the villa, Lei Shaoyu, who wanted to press the explosion button, was separated from his body. He was only one centimeter away from blowing up the entire garden.

Before he died, he was very glad that his younger brother Lei Shaotian and his three sons were not at home. As long as they were still there, the Lei family still had hope.

There were still some people in the villa, clansmen below the small success level, and workers who had nothing to do with this matter.

It was not that Chen Zhong pitied them, but these people were still useful. After all, Lei Shaotian was still there, right?

He was the second in command, and there must be some people under him.

"Chen Zhong?"

"Did the demon just now call him Chen Zhong?"

"It seems so..."

"It must be Chen Zhong who is taking revenge on us!"

Several trembling members of the Lei family hugged each other, still in shock.
