Chapter 1040: Chapter 22 This Time, I’m in Charge [2-in-1]_3 Chapter 1040: Chapter 22 This Time, I’m in Charge [2-in-1]_3 Of course, not being qualified to participate in the battle is one thing, but the opportunity to observe it is still there, after all, such opportunities are very rare.

This battle could be said to be the peak of all the battles in the world.

Not to mention anything else, just the sheer number of participants and the luxurious lineup is a sight unseen in ten thousand years, perhaps even unheard of in history!

Therefore, every force that had a person enter the battle had its Cloud Top cultivators present.

Well, the minimum requirement for the observers was to be Cloud Top cultivators, anyone below this level couldn’t even qualify to watch!

The masters were divided into two groups, one group with slightly weaker Cloud Top cultivators, like Dong Xiaoyan and Jiang Changhai, arranged defenses on the perimeter, while others with even stronger might had already surrounded the mountain, forming a large net with their spiritual power, silently covering the entire mountain, leaving no room for error.

In addition, all possible cave exits related to the mountain had been scouted well in advance, each one clearly marked and guarded without the slightest discrepancy, leaving no chance for oversight!

No matter where that old devil appeared, everyone would know immediately, making it impossible for him to escape being besieged!

Only such an arrangement could be considered foolproof!

Qing Ming made a sweeping gesture!

The elder of the Three Mountains rushed over quickly to help the people of the Supreme Mountain evacuate.

The battle on the Supreme Mountain’s side had already reached a perilous state, as the difference in strength between the two sides was great, resulting in them being completely pressed down in the fight, with many of their higher-ups already injured.

The difference in cultivation and the lack of combat experience, let alone experience in desperate struggles, meant that it was quite an achievement for the Supreme Mountain’s higher-ups to hold on until now.

So far, seven or eight disciples from Supreme Mountain had died, and those remaining, including the peak masters, were all seriously injured, and on the brink of total annihilation.

With a thunderous boom, a fierce gust of wind suddenly arrived from above, as a sword light fiercely locked onto Jinmian with a single strike.

The newcomer’s cultivation was unexpectedly powerful, shaking Jinmian to the core, causing him to stagger and take two steps back before he could steady himself.

As this sword joined the battle, another dozen or so people rushed down, and the situation eased momentarily.

Even at this point, Jinmian still hadn’t realized that he had been ambushed.

He even snorted angrily, “Supreme Mountain sure has plenty of experts!”

With a thunderous sword unleashed, the chaotic battle continued.

But as another person fell, he immediately felt that something was off.

This isn’t right, the strength of the opponents, isn’t right at all!

He blocked with his sword and shouted angrily, “You scoundrel, you aren’t from the Wansui Mountain… what’s going on?”

Turning his head to look at the person who had just descended, he felt even more that something was amiss.

“You are… from the Fang Family? Damn it!”

Suddenly, a long howl rang out, “It’s an ambush! We’ve been calculated!”

With that howl, the entire mountain trembled.

Lei Tu, who was in the innermost area, was suddenly startled awake, his expression unchanged, his face even more composed, and a wolf-like gleam shot from his narrowed eyes.

He said indifferently, “Who is seeking death? Some old friends from back then? Heh heh heh… quite the keen noses.”

Then he frowned.

In an instant, he vanished from the spot. He checked all the seven or eight exits that had been set up in a flash.

In the blink of an eye, he returned to the center of the grand hall.

He looked up deep in thought.

His expression darkened.

How could I have been discovered?

Outside, there were Qing Ming, Hidden Blade, Dark Cloud Dream Soul Lan Dan… along with the aura of old enemies from the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace and the Absolute Sword Devil Palace.

It was almost as if the lineup that had besieged him years ago had been redone.

Even more numerous and stronger than before.

How could I have been exposed?

He glanced over his own people in a mere thought because he knew what kind of people his subordinates were, and they would definitely not betray him.

Given the magnitude of their crimes, even defecting to the light side wouldn’t cleanse them in a hundred thousand years!

They’d already followed him down a dark path.

Moreover, if there were a chance for exposure over these ten thousand years, it likely would have happened many times over.

Since these people could not have possibly exposed him, there was only one problem left.

Lei Tu’s figure flashed, and he was already outside the secret chamber where Dong Pingchuan was being held.

Two guards stood loyally outside.

Lei Tu pushed the door open and entered without hesitation.

Immediately, his face grew even darker.

The chamber was empty.

The so-called ‘Dong Pingchuan’ had vanished without a trace.

“This move was well played,” he muttered.

Lei Tu, who should have been furious, actually smiled.

There was even a hint of admiration in his voice.

“I haven’t had such fun in twenty thousand years… This fellow really is talented.”

After stepping outside,

The two guards were still standing rigidly, loyally fulfilling their duties.

“Bang, bang!”

Lei Tu struck with two palms, instantly killing them both.

Then, without hesitation, he wrapped his hands together, and the bodies of the two guards began to shrink and wither in his grasp. With a snap, he tossed their shriveled corpses, reduced to the size of three feet, to one side.

In his hand were two blood spheres.

The blood spheres evaporated into mist.

Gradually, they turned into two pigeon egg-sized blood pills.

Looking at these two blood pills, Lei Tu’s eyes flickered with indecision.

But feeling the presence of countless formidable enemies outside, he finally clenched his teeth.

Throwing his head back, he swallowed them.

The moment the pills were consumed, a stream of bloody aura rose from his body, and his shriveled skin seemed to regain some vitality, plumping up slightly.

“In the end, I still have to take this step.”
