After the myth

Chapter 886 Sneak Attack
Qi Ku was actually feeling a little uneasy.

When he reached the fifth step of the Great Dao, his accumulation was enough, and he also found a semi-top-grade Dao vein in the Wandao Mountains.

Logically speaking, he could attain the sixth step of enlightenment at any time.

What made him frustrated was that no matter how hard he tried, he was just a little bit short of understanding the sixth step of the Great Dao.

But if he wanted to force himself to step into the sixth step, he could do so successfully with the help of this semi-top-grade Taoist meridian.

Whether in the Tianmeng tribe or in the human race.

Many people do this.

But Qi Ku never did it. Not only did he not do it, but he despised those who did so.

He knew very well that in the newly derived universe, the rules of heaven and earth were relatively weak.

Not just weak, but also very weak.

That is, you have realized the seventh step, and after you have achieved the seventh step, you find that there is still a big gap between the seventh step and what you imagined.

Many people who are in it cannot understand the reason, but Qi Ku, as a survivor of the original universe, knows very well what is going on.

Even if one has achieved this great Dao, he is still much weaker than the cultivators of the same level before the kalpa.

That is a level of understanding and control over the laws of heaven and earth.

If he wants to attain enlightenment, he naturally needs the highest level of enlightenment. How could he possibly make do with just any other path?

Therefore, he was not in a hurry to make a breakthrough to the sixth step. At least, he would not choose to make a breakthrough to the sixth step before he realized the great Dao principles he wanted.

Qi Ku was reluctant to even use up this semi-top-grade Dao meridian that he had obtained, so he simply set up concealment restrictions and soul-binding restrictions here.

When one day he realizes the sixth step of the avenue that truly belongs to him, he will come here to strive for the sixth step of the avenue.

Even Qi Ku himself had never thought about the sixth step that he had never been able to comprehend. However, when he sensed the magical power and rhyme left by Ding Huan's knife, it became clear.

Qi Ku knew very well that he should not rely on the magical power of Ding Huan's sword to attack the sixth step.

As long as he does this, he will never be a match for Ding Huan in the same level in the future.

But Qi Ku knew better that if he missed this opportunity, he might never be able to achieve such a powerful sixth step again.

After hesitating for only a short while, Qi Ku resolutely decided to use Ding Huan's magical sword skill to attain the sixth step of Taoism.

Maybe this is the only chance he has. If he missed it today, what about in the future?

No matter how powerful that human cultivator is, he should not have entered the fourth step yet.

As long as his realm is far stronger than the other party, he will not be afraid of being killed by Ding Huan.

Although Qi Ku had made up his mind, he still arranged heavy protection in the place where he was in seclusion. Not only that, he also used his most powerful defensive magic weapon, the Xuanzhou Umbrella.

The level of the Xuanzhou Umbrella is actually not that high, it is just an innate treasure.

However, this innate treasure has a special feature, which is that it can be integrated with one's own Dao rhyme to protect the space in which one is located.

It would be difficult to discover if you are not one of those who have a thorough understanding of the laws of space.

To take a step back, even if someone discovered his Xuanzhou Umbrella and wanted to tear open the defense of the Xuanzhou Umbrella and attack him, it would also alarm him.

The reason why Qi Ku was so cautious was because he understood why the human cultivator left those traces of rhyme on his body.

This was definitely not to help him achieve the sixth step, but the other party was targeting him.

Therefore, Qi Ku decided that as soon as he took the sixth step on the Great Dao, he would immediately return to the Tianmeng tribe.

The Dao veins he obtained in the Wandao Mountains were enough for him to practice, so there was no need for him to stay here and be targeted by that terrifying human cultivator.

At this moment, Ling Zhuzhen was hiding outside Qi Ku's retreat protective formation.

He had already sensed all the protective formations and warning prohibitions set up by Qi Ku.

These are not important. He can tear open the opponent's protective formations and restrictions in the shortest time possible and then launch a sneak attack.

Ling Zhuzhen knew very well that he only had one chance.

Although the Domain-Breaking Banner in his hand is not the best magic weapon for sneak attacks, it is extremely suitable for use here.

The Domain Breaking Banner has a built-in effect of breaking bans, and his understanding of the prohibitions of heaven and earth is far stronger than that of the guy he is going to attack.

Therefore, Ling Zhuzhen was 90% sure that he could seriously injure the Tianmeng cultivator, or even kill him with a single blow.

As long as the opponent is injured, even if he cannot be killed in one go, the purpose of the sneak attack will be achieved.

He believed that Ding Huan would definitely not do nothing.

Based on his understanding of Ding Huan, Qi Ku will not be able to escape this time.

Qi Ku was currently comprehending and perfecting his sixth step of the Great Dao, and did not notice Ling Zhuzhen lurking beside him.

He is not Ding Huan, who can sense the slightest fluctuations in the laws around him.

Ling Zhuzhen did not dare to gather the killing power through the Domain Breaking Banner. He knew that as long as he gathered the power with his magic weapon, he would definitely be discovered by the opponent.

So after making good preparations, the Domain Breaking Banner simply carried all of Ling Zhuzhen's energy and blasted it out without any reservation.

Even if Ling Zhuzhen did not gather his strength, when he used all his strength to roll up the Domain Breaking Banner for a surprise attack, Qi Ku still sensed it the first moment.

The powerful murderous intent was like ice-cold water pouring down from above his head.

Qi Ku rushed out madly without even thinking.

Before he went into seclusion, he had already taken precautions against sneak attacks, so the preparations were extremely thorough.

So when he was attacked, his first move was to escape according to his own ideas. Boom!
Click!

The protective formation and protective prohibition set up by Qi Ku were torn apart like an eggshell by Ling Zhuzhen's sneak attack with the Breaking Domain Banner.

The Domain-Breaking Banner rolled up a violent murderous aura and slammed into the Xuanzhou Umbrella, causing cracks to appear in the space one after another.

The Xuanzhou Umbrella was blown away, and the murderous aura exploded.

Qi Ku only suffered some backlash from the magic weapon being blown away, and had minor injuries.

However, these had no effect on Qi Ku, as he had already rushed out of the cave.

He could feel from Ling Zhuzhen’s sneak attack that Ling Zhuzhen’s strength was not weak, even if he was slightly weaker than him, not much worse.

But no matter what, he must get out of the opponent's sneak attack range first.

Before we figure out the situation, who knows what other tricks the other party has?
After rushing out of the murderous space that locked his cave, Qi Ku felt a little relieved.

He was very cautious, so he decided to stay further away...

At this moment, a murderous aura of death suddenly filled his entire body.

Oh no, this is the real sneak attack. The previous sneak attacks were fake.

Qi Ku burned his blood and essence madly, and his body teleported away from the space where he was.

An arrow filled with endless murderous intent pierced through the place where he had just stood.

Qi Ku shuddered. He had a feeling that this arrow could shatter the stars and turn all things into dust.

Fortunately, he had taken precautions and avoided it in time.

The laws in space began to break.

The spatial cracks merged together, and soon a black hole appeared where he had stood before.

Qi Ku shuddered. If he hadn't moved away frantically just now, he would be seriously injured now...

It still doesn't make sense. Why did the arrow just now give him the feeling that it wasn't really meant to kill him, but to make him avoid it?
Almost as soon as Qi Ku thought of this, the breath of death filled his body and mind, and he suddenly felt that his own great Dao rhythm was locked.

Does the opponent have a second arrow?
Even if Qi Ku burned his own life span, he could only avoid the death lock.

"puff!"

A flash of blood exploded, and Qi Ku watched helplessly as the Falling Moon Arrow tore open his waist, tearing apart all of his Dao rhyme, and even locking away his life force.

Qi Ku completely understood what was going on. The one who made the move this time was the human cultivator who had left a trace of magical powers on him before.

Sure enough, the other party was waiting for this moment. Unfortunately, he couldn't help it and used the magical powers and rhyme left by the other party to prove the sixth step of the Great Dao.

The regret in Qi Ku's heart at this moment was as vast as the three rivers and five seas.

He knew exactly why the second arrow had hit him so hard.

The first reason is that the opponent's first arrow only forced him to the location of the second arrow, which was where the opponent would strike the killer.

The more important reason was that the sixth step of the Great Dao that he had attained had no place to escape from the opponent's great Dao power.

He used the other party's magical powers and rhyme to prove his truth.

The other party knew his path too well, so he could clearly know his foundation.

Perhaps as long as he could get through this period of time and completely perfect his sixth step of the avenue, this kind of thing would not happen anymore.

Unfortunately, the other party did not allow him to perfect his sixth step, and still chose to hide here and attack him.

No, even if I lose my physical body today, I have to go.

When Qi Ku thought of this, even his own avenue began to burn.

In just a moment, his body merged with the surrounding space and gradually faded.

Almost when his body was about to disappear from the spot, a terrifying murderous aura locked up all his life.

Qi Ku felt cold all over and shivered.

He knew that his avenue and vitality had been locked by the opponent's third arrow, and even the space where he was was under the opponent's third arrow.

If he dares to leave now, he will be destroyed. This is absolutely not a joke.

Qi Ku's figure became clear again. He didn't dare to turn his head, but he knew that someone behind him had used arrows to lock the space he was in and his life.

"My fellow Daoist, I don't know what the rift is between me and you. As long as you show mercy, I, Qi Ku, am willing to show my utmost sincerity, including all my gains in the Wandao Mountains."

Qi Ku's tone was calm. He had not thought about escaping after calming Ding Huan down.

Now his avenue space is under the opponent's control, and his vitality is locked by the opponent's long arrows. He can't escape at all.

He also didn't think that Ding Huan would let him go if he handed over the things.

After saying these words, he decided to abandon his physical body.

He also has a natural magical power, which is the soul borrowing position.

The prerequisite for using this magical power is that the physical body collapses and escapes, which means abandoning one's physical body.

Qi Ku had made up his mind that as long as Ding Huan took action, he would use Ding Huan's means to destroy his physical body, and then his soul would escape.

His soul's use of another's body was not a simple escape, but it could use the opponent's killing power and the destruction of his own body to tear open that plane and escape.

No matter how powerful this human cultivator is, it is impossible for him to break through the plane with his bare hands to hunt him down.
