“Substitute counterattack?” Xiao Shi’s eyes turned cold. He knew that this was a powerful method to lure the enemy through a substitute. After the enemy killed the substitute, the attack would reflect. Now, the saber that shattered the entire substitute was directly reflected.
Therefore, Xiao Shi held his saber horizontally in front of him.
Clang!!
Under the loud sound of metal colliding, the rebounded saber beam slashed at the blood-colored saber in Xiao Shi’s hand. Two figures rushed out from behind Xiao Shi as fast as lightning. One of the figures was the one-eyed man’s true body. Killing intent wreaked havoc in his eyes, and there was a hint of mockery. He held a thin thread in his hand. The other person also held a similar thread in his hand. They pulled the threads and wrapped around Xiao Shi from the left and right.
Not only that, a Soul Awakening martial artist of a demonic faction also appeared in front of Xiao Shi. The three of them stood in a triangular formation. They pulled the slender thread in their hands and surrounded Xiao Shi. There was a powerful soul power attached to the thread, causing it to possess an astonishing cutting power. As it was pulled, it let out a sharp sound that tore through the air.
They were clearly not prepared to tie Xiao Shi up with threads. Instead, they planned to use the threads to cut the other party’s body into pieces!
It was obvious that they had a plan from the beginning. They deliberately used the one-eyed man’s substitute to lure Xiao Shi into the trap. Once Xiao Shi blocked the attack that was rebounded, he would definitely not have time to react. He would only be cut apart and killed by the rapidly tightening threads.
However, just as they felt that victory was in their grasp, the saber beam that was reflected at Xiao Shi was suddenly shattered by the blood-colored saber in his hand. It shattered into three saber beams that whistled towards the three people in a triangular formation at an astonishing speed.
“Hmm?” The three of them were stunned. This was different from what they had imagined. They originally thought that the other party had to use all his strength to block the saber beam that was reflected at him.
But now, they had the feeling that the other party seemed to have expected his attack would be reflected. As a result, not only did this rebound attack not cause trouble for him, but it also became the other party’s counterattack method.
In fact, when Xiao Shi saw that the baneful aura attack had failed, he had already sensed that something was wrong. Even though he did not know that this was a substitute counterattack, he also left a backup plan for this.
The three saber lights that were shattered possessed astonishing speed. As a result, the three people did not have time to use the thin threads in their hands to cut Xiao Shi’s body. They could only block the saber light that swept over.
They each unleashed powerful attacks and collided fiercely with the saber light that swept over. They all resisted with all their might and did not hold back. However, the strength of the three saber lights that wreaked havoc far exceeded their expectations.
When they touched it, they only felt that the power contained in the saber beam was extremely shocking. The biting cold saber qi ignored their resistance and seeped into their bodies.
Swoosh!
Many thin threads spread out from their bodies at the same time. When these thin threads spread throughout their bodies, it was as if they had been cut into many pieces. The flesh on their bodies fell off piece by piece.
Xiao Shi stepped forward. He quickly picked up the items dropped by the three of them after they died. With his current strength, he basically had no pressure killing Martial artists at the Soul Awakening Stage. However, the other party’s substitute counterattack had still aroused his vigilance and importance.
“These people will more or less receive a certain increase in their territory. They might have some strange methods. 1 can’t be too careless.” Xiao Shi thought to himself. A lion still needed to use its full strength to capture a rabbit. If he was careless, something unexpected might happen.
Rumbling sounds began to come from afar, accompanied by powerful energy fluctuations. Clearly, the other jailers had also found their targets and began to fight. Many people from the demonic path in the city began to flee in all directions. Without reaching the Martial Soul Realm, one could not participate in a battle at this level. They could only escape.
As jailers, they mainly captured people from the demonic path at the Martial Soul Realm. There was no need to capture people below the Martial Soul Realm. After Xiao Shi dealt with these three people, he also cut off their heads as proof that he had killed them. He could obtain credit through their heads later.
Swoosh!
He moved. He did not continue to stay here and quickly searched for other Martial Soul Realm experts in the city.
Not long after, he successfully found a lone Martial Soul Realm expert. With his previous experience, in order to prevent the other party from being a substitute, he first used the baleful aura in the baleful saber to probe.
Seeing that the other party was not affected by the baleful qi, he realized that this was also a substitute.
“This kind of substitute must be a powerful method of the Fiend Blood Valley.” Xiao Shi thought to himself. It was impossible for the naked eye to tell if this substitute was real or fake. However, if he had spiritual senses, he only needed to sweep with his spiritual senses to see some clues.
It was only useful to martial artists below the spiritual sense stage. To experts with spiritual senses, it was basically useless. After realizing that this was a substitute, Xiao Shi naturally would not attack..
