Chapter 478: Chapter 425 Utilize Strengths, Conceal Weaknesses + Chapter 426 Eastern Evil Azure Dragon_2

The opponent’s realm was a layer higher than his own, and in a normal fight, he would likely be even more than a match for himself.

Each layer of realm was like a different heaven.

He had profoundly realized this during his fight with the Old Crocodile - just how formidable the Form Refining Technique could be.

Although he had improved again, and had some powerful tricks up his sleeve,

Without risking his life, if he encountered an intact Old Crocodile again, there would still not be much chance of victory.

Let alone these few guys whose strength seemed even greater than that of the Old Crocodile.

If he really fought to the death against one of them, he might stand a chance to win.

But, as it had been said, to fight your own "ally" to the death before the enemy even arrived, becoming seriously injured—it would be like having a hole in your head.

"Let’s leave it at that. Prepare the Arrow Command, ready to advance at any time, and order the soldiers in the camp to be ready for battle tonight, ready to sortie for an immediate rescue once the fight starts."

The soldiers of the other three camps could not be commanded by Zhou Ping’an and Fang Sheng.

Put that aside for now, thinking that as long as he had soldiers from two camps in hand, even if he couldn’t complete the mission, as long as he looked for a chance to withdraw, he should be able to do so.

If not even that was possible, how did the Tiger Demon and Minglan Star’s Yan Bing manage second and third trials?

If they could survive and return on their previous attempts, he should be able to do the same.

"Alright, keeping alive is the priority. If things become impossible, withdraw without getting dragged down to death. Brother Zhou, be careful as well."

"Okay."

Having discussed everything, the two of them ordered the soldiers of both camps to wait silently until midnight, when a voice transmission entered their ears.

"Come quickly."

The two hurried into the fortress hall to find that the others were already all there.

The Little Princess Shen Bi was clutching her younger brother’s hand tightly, her face slightly pale but trying to appear calm.

The rest were fully armed, holding onto their weapons.

It was Yan Bing’s powerful and influential voice, "This time, it’s out of necessity. You all know full well how tremendous our opponents’ cultivation strength is; one-on-one, it’s safe to say, not one of us is a match for them.

If we really face them, no one knows who might die in this battle.

Thus, our first goal is to seek an opportunity to retreat; the farther we manage to escape, the better our chances. If we’re lucky enough to deliver these two siblings safely to Dingyang City, perhaps we might be counted as having passed the trial."

Yan Bing’s voice suddenly intensified, filled with lethal coldness, "Concerning the matter of fleeing in the dead of night, does anyone have any objections?"

"None. Those who don’t give it their all, don’t blame me for not sparing their lives under my blade."

Bai Yuanhua shook the golden Tiger Head Sword in his hand, his eyes round and blazing, hair standing on end, exuding a fierce aura that heavily pressed down on Zhou Ping’an and Fang Sheng.

This guy knew which persimmons to pick, not daring to show off to Yan Bing and Yin Jiu but turning his pressure towards Zhou Ping’an and the others.

Yan Bing’s strength appeared slightly superior to his, and he didn’t dare to show arrogance.

Yin Jiu didn’t care for him at all, always speaking with sharp and opposing words; it’s unknown whether their two clans were sworn enemies, as they seemed to have a strong mutual dislike.

Only Zhou Ping’an and Fang Sheng, with the weakest cultivation, spoke without consideration from others and were directly ignored or interrupted, clearly holding no status and easily repressed and rebuked.

If there weren’t such a time crunch, Zhou Ping’an suspected that the Tiger Demon might even come looking for them to teach them a lesson.

"No objections. These soldiers are weak and insignificant; they can be discarded if necessary. Once we reach Dingyang City, there may still be a chance to complete the trial."

Yin Jiu also, uncharacteristically, said as much.

From his thoughtful expression, he seemed to be solidifying his own conviction, attempting to persuade himself.

"Good, since everyone is in agreement, let’s do it that way. Once the moonlight grows dim, let’s break through. Zhou Chu, Fang Sheng, you two will carry the Little Princess and the young master on your backs. If we encounter enemies, remember to dodge and hide behind us; don’t think about fighting back. You won’t win, understand?"

Zhou Ping’an silently nodded.

He couldn’t even muster the mood to speak anymore.

You all heard us say "no objections," right?

Moreover, the moonlight was almost bright enough to read by in the night; calling it dim was a stretch.

But as for Yan Bing, what to say about him? Although he had a strong desire for control and a forceful personality, aside from strategic expertise, he still somewhat looked out for us "weaker ones."

It showed he knew well how to "use strengths and hide weaknesses."

At that moment, Shen Bi, acting obediently, brought over two long strips of silk ribbon, leading her brother Shen Yu, who appeared indifferent and dozed off, continuously nodding off.

Shen Bi was slightly heavier.

Considering that Fang Sheng was weaker, Zhou Ping’an took the initiative to tie the twelve-year-old girl firmly to his back.

Just as he finished tying her up, he saw Fang Sheng lifting Shen Yu, and the little boy lay on her shoulder, already asleep.

’This kid must be naturally thick-skinned, playing by day without a care, and at night, nothing affects his sleep.’

Zhou Ping’an glanced and marveled internally; his Sea of Consciousness and spiritual power were already silently spread in all directions.

From this moment on, he knew that crisis had already arrived and he could not afford the slightest negligence.

This was judged based on the very mechanisms of the trial mission itself.

It should not be mistaken.

Just like the previous stage fighting at Four Seas Manor.

They all went in together, and the more they shied from difficulty, had complexities in their minds, and tried to evade, the faster they would die.

It was definitely similar here.
