Chapter 487: Perfect Concealment

Four figures gradually dispersed, and the sound of explosions began to resonate in the surroundings,

Chen Fei arrived at a hillside, where a blue flower was swaying in the wind, and a faint fragrance lingered in the air.

The Qianyuan Sword fell into Chen Feis hand. In the next moment, the swords blade flashed, and the branch of the flower broke, and Chen Fei caught the flower in his hand.

Having perfected the Primordial Profound Art, Chen Feis strength, even without relying on the immense power of the Suppressing Dragon Elephants physique, was not at the bottom among those in the early stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

If one were to make a serious comparison, disregarding the influence of weapons, Chen Fei, solely relying on the Primordial Profound Art, could contend with many first-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators.

A cultivation technique of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm like this one was hardly mastered to perfection by anyone in the early stages of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm. Those who had reached such proficiency with this technique were generally at the third stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, which is the mid-stage.

Therefore, solely relying on the power of the Primordial Profound Art, Chen Fei was able to cut down this flower.

Chen Fei glanced around, but there was nothing unusual, and the other three individuals were not far away. Chen Fei didnt rush to send the flower back but instead flashed to a tree.

On this unremarkable tree, a large fruit was hanging, emanating a tantalizing fragrance that made one unable to resist plucking it and savoring its deliciousness.

However, this fruit fragrance was merely an illusion, a spiritual material simulated by the Haiyue Caves secret realm. Consuming it would bring no benefit to cultivators.

In quick succession, Chen Fei cut down this fruit.

Compared to Zhao Tianxuan earlier, when Chen Fei severed these resources, there would be a surging counterforce, but Chen Feis body could easily absorb this counterforce.

Therefore, there was no occurrence of being interrupted by the counterforce and disrupting his rhythm.

Chen Fei glanced ahead, and just as he was about to leap forward, a red light suddenly flashed in mid-air.

Chen Feis footsteps instinctively halted, and the next moment, a message appeared in his mind: Black team, one player eliminated!

Outside the Haiyue Cave secret realm, Yu Shoucheng appeared in mid-air, spewing a mouthful of blood, his face as pale as paper, and his aura reaching a low point.

Heavily injured, judging from the situation, if it werent for the fact that they were inside the Haiyue Cave secret realm, where they could concede directly, Yu Shoucheng might have really died.

Yu Shoucheng looked up at the water curtain above the Haiyue Cave secret realm, his expression grim. A major crisis had arisen; the five individuals on the opposite side had somehow found a rare treasure and temporarily infused its power into one of them.

The ultimate result was that the person infused with this power had their strength skyrocket to the level of the mid-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

When Yu Shoucheng went for reconnaissance, he was indeed quite far away when he sensed the aura of the opponents battle flag.

At that time, Yu Shoucheng was circling in an arc, trying to observe more useful information when someone silently appeared in front of him, and it was none other than Mo s.h.i.+yi, the one infused with power.

Thinking of Mo s.h.i.+yis cold gaze, Yu Shoucheng couldnt help but clench his fist.

Facing the power of the mid-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm, Yu Shoucheng had no resistance whatsoever. The main reason was that Mo s.h.i.+yis appearance had been too sudden, and he hadnt emitted the slightest hint of aura.

Otherwise, if Yu Shoucheng had sensed Mo s.h.i.+yis unusual aura from afar, he would have immediately fled.

Fortunately, amidst the misfortune, Mo s.h.i.+yi couldnt perfectly control this power, and Yu Shoucheng was quick to evade. Otherwise, Yu Shoucheng might have been trapped inside the Haiyue Cave secret realm.

Yu Shoucheng finally understood why the opponents didnt choose a direct duel on the arena. After Mo s.h.i.+yi used his techniques against Yu Shoucheng, his aura returned to normal, and he even dropped back to the early Combined Aperture Tempering realm, weaker than before.

Clearly, this infusion of power imposed a tremendous burden on the body.

In a one-on-one arena battle, if Mo s.h.i.+yi had used this power, everyone would have witnessed it, and perhaps Yu Shoucheng wouldnt have been able to avoid it. However, by delaying and not stepping onto the stage, the opponents couldnt endure the strain of maintaining the power for too long.

Using such a method once caused ones own aura to drop, weakening their combat prowess. It was essentially a one-for-one exchange. Moreover, the other four individuals who infused power into their teammates likely had their own issues, making it not worthwhile.

However, in the flag-capturing battle, being entirely in the shadows gave the opponents this opportunity.

If only we had chosen arena battles from the start! Yu Shoucheng coughed a few times and looked up at the water curtain above with a worried expression.

Regretting now was of no use. After all, initially, their side only had a slight advantage on paper. Even if they had chosen arena battles, n.o.body knew what the outcome would have been.

The choice of the battle method was still in the hands of the opponents because this third-order secret realm had been in the possession of one of their factions for a hundred years, giving them the priority to choose.

As long as it was a fair and just method of compet.i.tion, it would be recognized by the Thousand Feathers Alliance.

Now, Yu Shoucheng had been directly expelled by Mo s.h.i.+yi, without even the chance to escape and inform the situation. This meant that Qin Haishan and the others had no idea what had just occurred.

Mo s.h.i.+yi couldnt accept another infusion of power, and the others probably couldnt do it consecutively either. This was their chance. If they waited for Mo s.h.i.+yi and the others to recover, it would become a problem.

But Qin Haishan and the others had no knowledge of this situation!

At this moment, on the sea surface, with Yu Shouchengs elimination, there was suddenly a commotion.

Moments ago, on the water curtain, they only saw the dots representing Mo s.h.i.+yi and Yu Shoucheng collide, and then the dot representing Yu Shoucheng disappeared from the water curtain.

Yu Shouchengs elimination happened so quickly that everyone thought there would be some back-and-forth, after all, both sides were in the early Combined Aperture Tempering realm. According to the information they had received, their strengths should have been similar.

However, Yu Shoucheng was almost expelled from the Haiyue Cave secret realm in the instant they collided, and it caught everyone off guard.

Many people who had bet on Qin Haishans side to win in the betting circle suddenly became nervous. At least sixty percent of the bets were placed on Qin Haishans side.

After all, a lot of information had spread about this battle, and on paper, Qin Haishans side had a certain advantage, so more people were betting on them.

But now, with Yu Shouchengs elimination, the balance of power had undergone a significant change within moments of the flag-capturing battle beginning.

Setting aside other factors, if Mo s.h.i.+yi and the other four immediately charged toward Qin Haishans side, they had a good chance of winning the final victory.

After all, in a five-on-four scenario, it seemed like they could win.

Especially since Mo s.h.i.+yi was able to eliminate Yu Shoucheng in an instant, it was clear that he had some secret technique. Unfortunately, on the water curtain, none of these details could be discerned.

Inside the Haiyue Cave secret realm,

When Qin Haishan and the other four received the notification from the secret realm, they couldnt help but be stunned, even Chen Fei was no exception.

Yu Shouchengs agility, even though Chen Fei had only glimpsed it briefly earlier, he understood that it was superior to his own. And now, just moments later, he had been eliminated?

Qin Haishans aura soared into the sky, indicating a gathering notification. Chen Fei swiftly moved and, in a few strides, arrived in front of Qin Haishan.

However, at this moment, whether it was Qin Haishan, Zhao Tianxuan, or Tong Zhongqiu, their expressions were extremely grave.

The fact that Yu Shoucheng had been eliminated was something they had never antic.i.p.ated, which put them in a highly unfavorable position.

Qin Haishan furrowed his brows with some self-blame because the elimination of their flags aura had significantly increased the opponents advantage, leading him to choose the current strategy.

But under normal circ.u.mstances, with Yu Shouchengs agility, he could have easily withdrawn without taking any risks. Unfortunately, an unexpected event had occurred.

Now what do we do? The opponents might catch up to us very soon! Zhao Tianxuan said with a deeply furrowed brow.

Being outnumbered by one person created a significant disadvantage, and the five opponents on the other side were likely already on their way, which meant they could be surrounded soon.

What was even more crucial was that they had absolutely no idea how Yu Shoucheng had been eliminated, and that was the most worrisome aspect.

Lets not panic. The opponents must have used some treasure, and it definitely has some limitations, Tong Zhongqiu said in a low voice.

If the opponents had a significant advantage, they would have chosen direct arena battles from the beginning. It seemed that the opponents methods couldnt be used continuously or were required to be used under the current circ.u.mstances for the advantage to be maximized.

So, what do we do now? Zhao Tianxuan looked at Qin Haishan.

Qin Haishan remained silent, facing a dilemma. With the current situation of five against four, it wasnt a point of extreme disparity in strength. Even if they were surrounded, it wouldnt lead to a quick defeat.

However, because they didnt know what kind of treasure the opponents had, Qin Haishan was somewhat hesitant to confront the five opponents directly, fearing that they might lose another team member.

Hl stay in the front, and you continue gathering resources, Chen Fei suddenly spoke up.

No, its too dangerous! Qin Haishan thought for a moment, then shook his head. If Chen Fei got involved again, there would be no need to continue the flag-capturing battle.

The scout at the forefront was inevitably in the most dangerous position.

They probably cant see me.

Chen Feis aura suddenly disappeared. He ran his right hand across his forehead, and with the rotation of his sword and the movement of his eyes, he eliminated all traces of his previous presence. The Suppressing Dragon Elephant trembled as the heat radiating from Chen Feis body rapidly dissipated.

If one didnt see Chen Fei with their own eyes and relied solely on mental perception, he would now appear completely like a stubborn rock, devoid of the characteristic aura of a martial artist and without the slightest trace of warmth.

Perfect concealment!

Initially, Qin Haishans resolute expression wavered, but now, if they wanted to win the flag-capturing battle, information was crucial.

If the five opponents charged over immediately, it was clear that they believed their strength was superior and wanted to engage in direct combat to determine the outcome.

However, if the opponents didnt arrive promptly, the situation would completely s.h.i.+ft in another direction. The opponents treasure likely had significant limitations, preventing continuous use, or there might be other significant drawbacks.

In that case, Qin Haishan might need to lead his team to charge forward.

Be careful, and if theres any trouble, retreat immediately, Qin Haishan finally nodded.

Chen Fei smiled faintly, his figure flickered, advancing to a position ten miles ahead, and then came to a halt, disappearing into the shadows.

At the same time, his clone emerged and continued rus.h.i.+ng forward.

The clones strength and agility were mediocre, and if it encountered any of the opponents, it would be defeated instantly. Its ability to gather information was extremely limited.

Even the possibility of being defeated before seeing anything was there, and it could potentially alert the opponents.

But now, with Yu Shoucheng already eliminated, there was no need to worry about alerting the opponents.

The most crucial thing now was to get a glimpse of the situation on the other side. Even if the information was limited, it was worth a try..
