Chapter 57: Snatching Food from the Tiger's Mouth
At this time, Wang Xuanyang saw this intense battle from a distance and was shocked beyond measure.
With the sword and symbol of the clan, once the three-eyed sand snake is killed, there is a high probability that the ore and treasure sword will fall into their hands.
He didn't believe what the pigeon said, really can't continuously launch a sword and knife combined attack, even in normal state it's not possible, thinking about paying some price, still can do a second attack.
With the ambition of a sword and a symbol, there must be an idea to monopolize treasures. It goes without saying that this strongest blow should also wait until the most critical moment.
In fact, there were also many people on the scene who doubted the sincerity of Jian Feng Zu Zong, but there was no evidence, and the three-eyed sand snake was in a weak state and had to be killed as soon as possible. Once it recovered, it would be even more troublesome.
Affected by the gate of the city, Wang Xuanyang had a very bad impression of Jianfu Xiangzong.
He would rather other forces obtain those treasures than have them fall into the hands of Jianxin Sect.
"How can I get close to the sand pit?"
Wang Xuanyang's eyeballs started rolling.
With the current intense battle situation, if he wants to get close, it's almost impossible. He's likely to be reborn or die even before approaching the sand pit, just from a single grain of three-eyed sand snake's spouted sand.
The risk is too great!
Suddenly, Wang Xuanyang's eyes lit up because his spiritual power had just scanned and found that not far away under the flowing sand, there was a black-clothed, thieving-looking Explosive Hole Symbol Master digging a hole, advancing towards the position of the sand pit.
This symbol's power is not low, at least it has opened up more than 150 true holes. This symbol seems to be very skilled in moving stealthily through the sandy soil, with a strange yellow glow surrounding its body. Wherever it passes, the flowing sand will be squeezed open, forming a path that allows people to move stealthily, and its speed is not slow.
"Digging a tunnel under the quicksand, well, that's one way to go!"
Wang Xuanyang's face revealed a hint of a smile, perhaps for others, spiritual energy couldn't be used under the quicksand, just like not having eyes, unable to discern direction, and even more unable to detect external situations. Once unable to grasp the position of the ore in the sand pit while in the quicksand, they would lose their way. Can't drill a distance and then come out to take a look?
There is another danger, if you dig deeper, once a sand cave forms and collapses, you may be buried alive!
This is a sea of quicksand, if it weren't for the fact that it's currently in a period of small changes, the quicksand would be moving all the time.
Wang Xuanyang couldn't help but admire the symbol's courage and audacity.
Thinking of this, he looked around and saw no one paying attention to himself, all focusing on the battlefield ahead.
He suddenly moved, a burst of sword energy surged out from his true hole, drilling into the ground, and instantly exploded an empty sand cave, he sank directly.
In the quicksand, he was surrounded by a swirling aura of swords, which squeezed open the quicksand in front of him, forming a passageway. He moved within this passageway.
He didn't have that symbol's cultivation, and using his sword energy to open a path in the quicksand wasn't easy either, so his speed was much slower than that of the symbol.
The only advantage is that his spiritual power can move freely in the quicksand layer.
His spiritual power radiated outward, permeating the surroundings, probing the situation around him, and he was also closely watching the battle on the surface of the quicksand.
He walked very carefully and wouldn't cause too much commotion. Of course, now the scene is chaotic, so probably no one would notice these things anyway.
His only worry was whether the three-eyed sand snake would notice or not?
It's best if the three-eyed sand snake is recreated and has no time to pay attention to itself, then it can quietly steal away with the treasure.
Of course, we can't wait for the three-eyed sand snake to be killed either, otherwise, I'm afraid there won't be a share left for us.
So timing must be grasped well.
His actions were extremely dangerous, and once discovered, there was no hope of survival. If any of the three-eyed sand snakes made a move, he would be crushed to dust. At the same time, he couldn't let people from various sects discover him, not even Fat Master Brother and his group. Otherwise, what awaited him was endless pursuit, which would undoubtedly lead to certain death.
This is totally snatching food from the tiger's mouth!
Outside, the battle is getting bigger and more intense, with heavy casualties on both sides. At least nearly two hundred people have been killed or injured.
That three-eyed sand snake was surrounded by so many people, and although it was strong, it had become much weaker. The remaining two eyes showed signs of fragmentation, and as for the eye that was smashed, it didn't even have a chance to heal.
"Strike of the sword!"
At this moment, Jian Feng Zu Zong, who had been adjusting all along, although he had made a move during this period, his attack power was ordinary, and it was obvious that he was accumulating strength.
Suddenly, the young master in white clothes let out a loud shout.
The originally dim sword shadow above the array suddenly burst out with a dazzling sword light, the sword light was sharp and boundless, a terrifying sword intent spread out, spreading in the void, some of the sword cultivators or sword path practitioners on the scene felt a kind of mental oppression.
Pfft!
The sword's edge shines brightly in the heavens and pierces through everything.
The second eye of the three-eyed sand snake was thoroughly pierced, leaving a hole.
The three-eyed sand snake let out a mournful cry, becoming even more furious and terrifying. Its body, which was mostly buried in the quicksand, suddenly stretched out for dozens of meters, thrashing about wildly and wreaking havoc everywhere. The casualties increased dramatically in an instant.
But everyone knows this is a counterattack by the three-eyed sand snake after its rebirth, and it can't last for long.
Two eyes were knocked out, and the strength of the three-eyed sand snake plummeted again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the second strike of our Jianjian Xiangzong's sword unity formation, and it will be the last one. It will be impossible to launch a third strike again. From now on, it's up to you."
The dove let out a loud roar.
It seems that in verifying his words, the sword's energy was once again released, and indeed it became even darker than before, almost to the point of collapse, barely able to hold on, resisting the remaining power of the three-eyed sand snake's crazy attack.
Those who were originally on guard against the Knife Sword Symbol Sect all let out a sigh of relief. If such a terrifying attack could still manage to land a third hit, it would be too much.
Then, some people who still had strength originally strengthened their attacks. Their idea was simple: the people of the Knife Sword Sect had just released their second move and were at their weakest. If they could quickly get rid of the three-eyed sand snake, they would have a great advantage in competing for the treasure in the sand pit.
There are many people who have such ideas, and in an instant, the attack is like a storm, twice as fierce as before.
Everyone is almost unable to hold back from attacking.
Among the crowd of Jian Feng Zu Zong, a white-clothed young master sneered with a cold smile on his face, his eyes gleaming with coldness. "Hmph, you're all idiots. Without me, Young Master Bai, this Sword Union Formation wouldn't even be able to withstand two blows, let alone the first one. But with me here, it's different. You'll see soon enough that everything I've done is for the sake of Jian Feng Zu Zong."
At this time, Wang Xuanyang had already crept in quietly from the depths of the quicksand at the edge of the battlefield.
The position he was in was over a dozen zhang deep from the surface of the quicksand, even deeper than the bottom of the sand pit. This way, even if the quicksand was attacked and caused a strong shockwave, it wouldn't have too much of an impact on him. After all, the properties of the quicksand, as well as the special power of the Quicksand Sea, made the quicksand's ability to withstand external forces extremely high, making it very difficult for any residual waves to transmit into the depths of the quicksand.
He was watching the fierce battle on the ground with his spiritual power.
When the Sword and Saber Symbol Religion once again unleashed its mighty power, piercing the second eye of the three-eyed sand snake, he couldn't help but secretly marvel at the terror of the Sword and Saber Symbol Religion's sword-saber unifying symbol array.
"Strange, how can Jian Feng Zu Zong launch a second attack? Could it be that he can even launch a third strike? This is unlikely, isn't it?"
Even Wang Xuanyang had some doubts.
If it can be continuously and effortlessly displayed, the Knife Sword Symbol will not need to worry about anything, three strikes can eliminate the Three-eyed Sand Snake, easily taking away the treasure, absolutely no one will dare to protest.
There is only one possibility left.
This attack absolutely cannot be used in succession.
That is to say, the Sword Symbol Sect might still have some special means to cast it once more.
Wang Xuanyang knew that the three-eyed sand snake would be killed, it was only a matter of time.
He stealthily approached, his spiritual power detecting the previous stealthy symbol, finding that the direction of his digging was not greatly deviated, but the position was slightly higher. If he continued to sneak in this direction, he would likely appear in the sand pit.
By then... Wang Xuanyang could only silently mourn for this courageous Yu Shi, hoping that his luck wouldn't be so bad.
"Well, maybe I can use this person to divert the attention of those three-eyed sand snakes, and then..."
Wang Xuanyang was thinking in his heart.
....
