683: Chapter 681 Locked in and Observed

[You have killed Qingcheng...]

[Your spirituality value + 68,000, your rule fragment + 15]

"As expected of a veteran Shengyuan Realm expert, they actually yielded so many rewards!"

Chu Xuan was overjoyed.

At this moment, his rule fragments had accumulated to 35.

With a large number of Martial Artists dying in the game, his spirituality value surged continuously, currently exceeding the limit and reaching over 160,000.

"Chu Xuan, those three Specters are also separated. Let's take advantage of this chance to kill them right now!"

Seeing Chu Xuan sink back into the ground, Tang Zheng hurried over, pointing extremely excitedly at the dog-hole turning corner on the left side of the middle gate:

"I've been paying attention just now. Although those three little guys can't be seen right now, they are hiding in stealth behind the dog-turning box! Later, we'll attack together. Even if I can't kill them in a short time, I can cripple them, and then you can deliver the finishing blow!"

"Dog-turning box" was a gaming term. As the name implied, a narrow passageway resembling a dog hole was set up at the middle gate, with a box placed behind the turning corner.

In this Cop and Robber Game, the map was scaled up equally. Although calling it a dog hole was somewhat inappropriate, Chu Xuan was still able to understand it instantly.

Chu Xuan looked in the direction Tang Zheng was pointing. Although the area behind the "dog-turning box" was empty, the next second, a thought stirred in his mind.

Using the information provided by Tang Zheng as a clue, he deduced it through Peeping Fate, revealing a fleeting scene within the illusory imagery before his eyes.

Three massive Strange Creatures, which had been forced by Qingcheng and Sect Leader Zhihua working together and had no choice but to unleash their potential, dashed rapidly and suddenly stopped. However, they didn't go far, instead hiding behind the box motionless.

As they remained still, the injuries of the three Strange Creatures recovered rapidly, and they gradually concealed themselves into invisibility.

But this was merely a scene from Chu Xuan's deduction and wasn't necessarily true.

Following that, using this as a base, Chu Xuan cast [Tracing Cause and Effect].

The image before his eyes instantly became clear.

Behind that box, three massive monsters were indeed hiding, identical to the scene in the [Peeping Fate] deduction.

Moreover, the tattered flesh of those three Strange Creatures at this moment looked like it was about to recover to its original state from the outside, obviously having basically healed.

"Let's go!"

In just a few seconds, Chu Xuan had investigated all of this clearly, while gaining more insights into the application of his skills.

Without lingering too long, Chu Xuan led Tang Zheng forward all the way.

Sweeping his gaze across, his sight penetrated the game venue, seeing that at the starting point of the "police", Minge and the others had ceased fighting and seemed to be forming an Alliance to cooperate.

Chu Xuan did not wait to accumulate time for the Slash within his body. Upon arriving beneath the three monsters, Chu Xuan and Tang Zheng struck together, violently launching a surprise attack from below.

At that time, after their injuries were about to fully heal, the three monsters were discussing through mental communication how to act next.

One said to lurk here motionless, waiting for an opportunity to ambush Qingcheng and Sect Leader Zhihua to wash away their past shame.

Another said to first rendezvous with Minge, help her summon the Demon Lord, and that finding and killing the Purifier was the most important thing.

Still another said to ignore all that, since there were so many powerful human Martial Artists here, they should have a good meal first before talking about anything else.

The three monsters had different views and argued endlessly, each with a fiery temper, and it looked like they were about to fight among themselves first.

Right at this moment, Chu Xuan and Tang Zheng simultaneously burst out from underground, each selecting a Strange Creature to attack.

The physical bodies of these three monsters were extremely tenacious, surpassing Qingcheng by a notch, but their perception of danger was not as keen as Qingcheng's.

When the crisis descended and they realized something was wrong, it was already too late to react, and they were submerged in the blade light and fist shadows.

Chu Xuan fought two at once. The Fire of Nirvana condensed into substance, causing the indestructible flowing shadow, which had transformed into a pitch-black long blade, to change its form slightly.

The blade body remained straight, but the edge had turned golden, as if plated with a layer of gold trim, and the chilling, ghastly gleam it emitted looked like burning flames.

As for Tang Zheng, he was simple and crude; his fist shadows fluttered, and the sound was like roaring heaven-shaking cannons.

How could these three monsters ever have imagined that this was clearly Concealment on the rule level, so how were they still discovered?

Could it be that they were precisely detected by a player from the police faction using that detection skill which had a range of only one meter and a duration of only one second?

And weren't the rules already limited, stating that everything here was indestructible? Then how did these two people manage to kill their way out from underground?

No one could answer their doubts.

The two Strange Creatures in Chu Xuan's hands perished first.

Although their defense was slightly stronger than Qingcheng's, their agility was a bit lower, and they didn't have escape Divine Abilities like the Earth-Shrinking Technique and Blood Escape.

The only thing that surprised Chu Xuan was that their recovery ability was simply too strong.

They could actually consume their maximum health points to quickly recover from physical injuries while maintaining undiminished defense.

This ability entirely came from the same True Authority skill—

[Wither-Thrive]!

Unfortunately, the most prominent physical strength of these two monsters was entirely below Chu Xuan, barely reaching 110 points in real attribute.

Only their real stamina attribute reached 130 points, slightly outperforming Chu Xuan.

But unfortunately, Chu Xuan's real agility reached 111 points, and his real strength attribute was as high as 130 points.

Coupled with the [Fire of Nirvana] continuously boosting the explosive damage of his basic attacks.

As well as the [Sturdy Body] trait, which allowed his heavily consumed stamina to flow back, maintaining a high-burst combat state for a long time without the slightest feeling of exhaustion.

These two monsters were simply meat targets, and their rapid recovery ability couldn't possibly offset the intense damage at all.

In the blink of an eye, one of the monsters was hacked to death raw.

Seeing that the other monster was about to follow in its footsteps, Chu Xuan suddenly asked, "How did you guys lock onto my location before?"

Previously, under the deduction of [Peeping Fate], no matter which form of departure was taken, a bizarre giant hand would ultimately descend.

The transformation of Level 8 Myriad Forms changed even his own Karma along with it, but it seemed to have no effect at all.

When Chu Xuan asked the question, taking advantage of the opportunity while the ugly and bizarre creature before him had been crippled, its life was on the verge of death, and its spirit and will had scattered, he cast [Thought Thread], turning a wisp of Mental Energy into a thread to probe into its consciousness.

"Ever since you killed Young Alliance Leader Qi Yun, Minge has paid special attention to you, and through the connection of the Demon Lord merging into the Cangyun World, she utilized the Cangyun World to easily lock onto you, an otherworldly being."

"Unless it's in some special places, such as the Forbidden Land, you have always been under her observation."

"Shortly after that, your body suddenly erupted with the Fire of Nirvana. Minge thus discovered your identity as a Purifier, and thereby sensed the deities' must-kill guidance toward you..."

"It's just that Minge's ability is limited, and she cannot summon the Demon Lord at will, so she dared not act rashly, worrying that you would escape..."

"And because she couldn't continuously lock onto and observe you, she devised a way to join forces with those human Martial Artists."

Chu Xuan listened quietly. When the other party finished speaking, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "You really aren't honest."
