Chapter 697: Wushuang Makes a Move

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Through the Observant Finger Jade Plate, he could clearly see that there were three people about less than one hundred miles away from him. Besides, these three people all had seemed to form a mutual understanding and were approaching Qin Wushuang’s location. They had formed a T-shaped formation and seemed to be encircling him.

The transportation had been random. How could these three people approach him under such coincidences? Could they have formed some sort of mutual understanding?

Qin Wushuang had an incredibly sophisticated mind. When he saw such an abnormal situation, he was already somewhat vigilant. Of course, he would not be stupid enough to challenge three people at once.

He revealed a slight smile and urged the Purple Cloud Ying Yang Wings. Then, he locked Qin Taichong’s position and flew at a rapid speed. At the same time, he paid attention to the position of those three people through the Observant Finger Jade Plate.

Indeed, following his movements, the position of those three had followed in his direction.

Qin Wushuang had revealed a devious smile and thought, “It seems the Observant Finger Jade Plate is not an exclusive method. Initially when Xin Wuji had been able to lock my position, among these competitors, there are also a few people on the same level as Xin Wuji. Since Xin Wuji had that skill, it’s not strange since these people can lock positions as well...”

Qin Wushuang was not a rookie that had just stepped onto the path of martial arts. With some slight thinking, he had guessed some clues on their methods. These potential opponents must have viewed the Qin Clan as their greatest enemies. Therefore, they had formed such a siege through a tacit understanding. It seems the intention of these opponents was clear: they wanted to deal with the Qin Clan during this island trial.

This was not strange for of course, the two people of the Qin Clan had been viewed as the hot topic to win the championship. Being the hot topic would naturally raise anger against a common enemy easily.

This time, Qin Taichong had learned his lesson. It was because previously, Qin Wushuang had told him to not wander around when arriving at the eighth island. He would just wait in a safe place.

Therefore, Qin Taichong had not wandered around. He found a relatively safe place and quietly waited for Qin Wushuang’s arrival.

As Qin Wushuang flew in the middle of the air, he kept looking at that Observant Finger Jade Plate. Before entering the eighth island, Qin Wushuang had collected all the spiritual perceptions of his opponents. Therefore, all the opponents would be clearly shown on the Observant Finger Jade Plate.

Especially those previous three people were still chasing after him with steadfast loyalty. Due to the relationship between each other’s location, one person was only a hundred miles away from him. He had shaken off the other two.

A hundred miles of distance? Qin Wushuang was moved inwardly. Since he was alone, he would do the trade here. As these three people want to make a move at me, I will use him first!

Thinking here, Qin Wushuang took out the sealed scroll. Since he had arrived at the battlefield of the top ten places, of course Qin Wushuang would not summon those spiritual beasts of the Void Martial Stage. He summoned instead the four at the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary Stage directly.

Qin Wushuang knew that regardless of the power and his opponent’s strength, at most they could only lock his position. It would be impossible for them to lock onto the sealed spiritual beast.

This was because the sealed spiritual beast had stayed inside the seal and had never came out!

On this battlefield, the sealed spiritual beasts and the Observant Finger Jade Plate were Qin Wushuang’s two greatest advantages! He would only have the hope to make a dash at the final championship when utilizing these two great tools masterfully!

After all, it was already tough when dealing with one Xin Wuji. On this battlefield, there were three to four people at the same level as Xin Wuji!

When Qin Wushuang dropped from the clouds, he sat down at the vegetation next to a little creek. His opponent had scrambled towards him at a rapid speed and without disguising himself.

Qin Wushuang felt somewhat strange. If this person were to deal with him, he had displayed a rather forceful disposition of strength. Could it be he has the ability to win for sure? Or else, he should at least conceal his tracks?

Qin Wushuang felt extremely bewildered. However since the other party had behaved like this, he could not pretend to be ignorant. He stood up directly and asked with an indifferent tone, “Who’s there?”

Something totally outside Qin Wushuang’s imagination had happened. From the forest ahead of him, a figure flashed to appear and let out a forthright laughter, “Junior Brother Wushuang, I have waited for you for long.”

This person was actually Qin Taichong!

Indeed, it was Qin Taichong as he walked over in large strides while carrying a wide sword. In between his brows was filled with forthright smile. It was solemnly Qin Taichong’s style.

Qin Wushuang also smiled. “Senior Brother Taichong, it’s really you. I thought it was some ignorant person. If they wanted to launch a sneak attack on me, he didn’t need to be so out in the open.”

“Ha ha, launching a sneak attack at Junior Brother Wushuang would mean that they are blind. By the way, Junior Brother Wushuang, when we are at this eighth island, we should begin the hunting, right? I know the place where two guys are hiding. Humph, they thought they had concealed themselves to a good degree, yet on this island, how could there be any absolute secret place?”

Qin Wushuang showed joy through his brow. “Where?”

Qin Taichong laughed. “One is at a mountain cave at the north west direction and the other seems to be deep inside an abyss. Junior Brother Wushuang, which one should we hit first?”

historical

“Which one do you think is the most appropriate, Senior Brother Taichong?”

Qin Taichong was stunned and then laughed. “The mountain cave is best suited for a siege, I think we should hit that one first.”

Qin Wushuang nodded. “Then let’s go for the first.”

“Ok, follow me,” Qin Taichong called out.

Suddenly, Qin Wushuang said. “Senior Brother, hold on!”

Qin Taichong was stunned and turned around. “Junior Brother Wushuang, what?”

Qin Wushuang said with a smile, “A moment on the way, I had discovered a fruit with incredibly rich spiritual Qi. I would like to ask you to identify whether it’s a Supreme Dao Fruit or not. This island should not have any Supreme Dao Fruit, right?”

“Supreme Dao Fruit?” Qin Taichong moved his brows and immediately became interested. “Where is it? Let me see. This island is the forbidden place of the Illusion Heavenly Lake, it’s possible there are Supreme Dao Fruit here.”

Qin Wushuang held out his hand and a sparkling and translucent fruit shone on his palm. It dispersed dazzling rays of lights. “Senior Brother, come and see, I feel it has a rich presence.”

Qin Taichong immediately narrowed his eyes into a line and shone out a form of fanatical expression. “Yes, I would dare to bet that this must be a Supreme Dao Fruit. Junior Brother Wushuang, would you mind if I looked?”

Qin Wushuang waved his hand and said with a smile, “Senior Brother, it isn’t necessary to speak such formal words when we are from the same sect. Come and see!”

Qin Taichong did not hold back as he walked over with large strides. Qin Wushuang turned his palm and handed over the fruit.

Qin Taichong took it and at this moment, suddenly, Qin Wushuang turned his palm and a surge of white light from the Supreme Dao Fruit had squeezed into his storage ring.

Qin Taichong’s expression had changed dramatically and suddenly felt a burst of slight numbness from the center of his palm. Immediately after, a sense of limp and numbness had traveled through his entire body.

“You...”

Moving like lightning, Qin Wushuang had already retreated twenty miles away quickly. He emerged a faint smile. “Senior Brother Taichong? I must admit you had a successful disguise.”

The complexion of that Senior Brother Taichong had changed dramatically as sweat kept emerging from his forehead. When he urged his Dantian, he found out that he could not really pull any strength from his Dantian.

As he urged three times, it elicited no response for he could not extract any spiritual Qi. He was clearly showing a trace of fear when he looked at Qin Wushuang.

“This is the poison of Seven Insects and Seven Flower Cream, the prescription of the antidote is here.” Qin Wushuang threw out paper pellet with his hand.

The person caught it and opened it with an embarrassed state. Cold sweat kept emerging from his forehead.

“If you make the antidote by following this recipe, you will be fine. However you must fight with time, if you pass the time deadline, perhaps your Dantian will become useless.” Qin Wushuang was definitely not just bluffing to scare this person.

The Seven Insects Seven Flower Cream was only one of the divine venomous insect poisons. Although it did not display tyrannical poison, it could make one lose all their power unless you were an elite warrior of the Supreme Dao Stage, for there would be a layer of Supreme Dao barrier near the Dantian. This way, it could protect the Dantian to not get invaded.

Unfortunately, there were no Supreme Dao elite warriors among all the candidates. The strongest one was at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage, similar to Xin Wuji.

This person revealed an ashen face. Although he felt incredibly unreconciled to it, in the end, he still let out a helpless sigh after he had wiggled the corner of his lips continuously. “Alright, this time you got me, Qin Wushuang, you are good! However I want to know how did you see through my disguise?”

“How did you know I am here?” Qin Wushuang asked the counter question.

The person came to a sudden realization as he punched his head and shook his head with a bitter smile. “I am so stupid. Since I can use the tracking talisman to lock onto your position, you and your partner must be able to use the same method to lock onto each other’s position. That Qin Taichong must not be in this area...”

Qin Wushuang let out a chuckle. “Alright, there is not much time left. You better hurry.”

That person gave a long sigh. “Qin Wushuang, I have refused to believe when the outside world said you had killed Xin Wuji. It seems that it’s not wrong for that Xin Wuji to have fallen by your hand. I am from the Great Bright City of the Heavenly Fire Southern Border. If there is a chance, come to visit the Great Bright City!”

Qin Wushuang laughed. “If there is a chance, of course I will come to visit.”

That person had already walked out from the shadow defeated as he laughed. “Don’t worry, I am not some cheap person. If you come to the Great Bright City, just come find me, Zhu Yunyan.”

“Hope to see you again, Qin Wushuang, you better take the championship. If not, I’d be disappointed in my defeat, ha ha ha!”

After he had finished, Zhu Yunyan initiated the transportation jade plate. A burst of transportation divine light had directly transported him out of the eighth island.

Zhu Yunyan had become the first one of the ten to get disqualified. Naturally, it had determined the tenth place.

For this battle, no blood was shed. Qin Wushuang felt incredibly lucky when he had won against Zhu Yunyan through wits. This Zhu Yunyan was one of the three or four super elite warriors that stood on par with Xin Wuji. He was also one of the hot topics to win the championship.

If Qin Wushuang had not used the enemy’s tactics to deal with this Zhu Yunyan, certainly he would be making a big fuss. As Qin Wushuang thought, “This Zhu Yunyan specialized in transformation. I should transform into his appearance. The Heart Illusion Mask could easily achieve this point. However, since this Zhu Yunyan is able to use tracking talismans, most likely the other person can do the same. Therefore, this disguise strategy is not that useful!”

The tracking talisman was only a form of method used by enemies in the dark. After Qin Wushuang had learned about it, he could use his own presence to reduce the power of this tracking talisman. However, he had not planned to do it. It was because he felt he could continue to be the bait, as this tracking talisman kept getting used on him. It would be a worthwhile trade!
