Chapter 148: Everyone, Just Play Dead

“High-level Xiao Tian stage (full condition).”

“What the hell! Who the hell said it was in a weakened state? This is totally messed up!” At this moment, Lin Fan was instantly stunned.

As soon as the Xue Wang Shi appeared, its aura surged into the sky, making the entire space feel thick and viscous. At that moment, he sensed something was off. Now, after checking with the system, it turned out to be exactly as he feared.

At this moment, Lin Fan secretly glanced at the expressions of the other sect disciples. He found that those who had previously wanted to show off their skills were now pale-faced, and some were even trembling in their legs.

“This is impossible,” the elders of several major sects changed expressions. They had already realized that the Xue Wang Shi was in its prime state, with absolutely no sign of weakness.

“Roar…”

At this moment, the Xue Wang Shi raised its head and roared furiously. The entire Miao Xue Peak trembled, and all the surrounding ferocious beasts trembled and prostrated themselves on the ground.

“How is this possible? A few days ago, we confirmed that the Xue Wang Shi had entered a weakened state after giving birth. How could it have become like this?” At this moment, everyone was terrified, standing rooted to the spot, not knowing what to do.

If the Xue Wang Shi attacked, it would be absolutely terrifying.

A high-level Xiao Tian stage ferocious beast could only be suppressed by someone at the Xiao Tian Da Wan Man stage.

But now, aside from the six elders who were at the high-level Xiao Tian stage, all the other disciples were basically cannon fodder.

…

Above on the sky warship.

The leaders of various sects who had brought their disciples to observe the battle also had slightly changed expressions, then lifted the warship to a higher position to avoid being affected.

“Unexpectedly, it’s in its peak state. The six sects might be in danger this time,” an old woman with skin as dry as tree bark said calmly on the warship.

They had no intention of helping with the situation unfolding below.

“Senior, the elders of the six sects are all at the high-level Xiao Tian stage. Shouldn’t they be able to suppress the Xue Wang Shi?” a female disciple asked.

The old woman shook her head. “The Xue Wang Shi is a descendant of the ancient ferocious beast Nu Tian Xue Shi. It’s not comparable to ordinary ferocious beasts. Even someone at the Xiao Tian Da Wan Man stage would have to pay a great price to suppress it.”

…

“What should we do?”

At this moment, everyone’s mind was filled with only this thought.

Elder Yu was also stunned. He hadn’t expected this outcome. If the Xue Wang Shi had entered a weakened state after giving birth, with less than half its strength, then just relying on these disciples, as long as they united, there would have been hope of subduing it. But now the situation was different.

Facing the Xue Wang Shi at its peak, even the six of them together couldn’t be sure of suppressing it.

“Elders, the intelligence was incorrect this time. We six will distract the Xue Wang Shi, allowing our disciples to leave first. How about that?” Elder Yu said urgently in a low voice.

“Hmph! According to the rules, your Holy Sect, Xuan Yang Sect, and Tai Yi Sect should hold the line while our three sects enter the cave. Although the situation has changed, we still need to follow the rules,” the leading elder of Feng Tian Sect said.

“Go to hell!” Elder Yu shouted angrily. Had the Feng Tian Sect’s brain been kicked by a donkey or something? How could they say such a thing so easily?

Just at this moment, the Xue Wang Shi finally moved. Its body, as large as a small hill, was so oppressive in the eyes of everyone that it made them feel like they couldn’t breathe.

Its sharp aura was like a sword, as if it could harvest everyone’s lives.

“It’s coming…” At this moment, the six sects panicked.

Lin Fan was also extremely anxious. “What the hell! Who was the pig responsible for gathering intelligence? I originally wanted to go out on my first mission and get a good assignment, but I didn’t expect to run into such an unreliable situation.”

Now, the Xue Wang Shi’s red eyes swept toward the Holy Sect side. Its sharp claws slightly lifted, then slammed down on the ground, making everyone feel as if the earth was shaking and mountains were trembling.

“Elders, the Xue Wang Shi’s target is the Holy Sect. We can take this opportunity to retreat,” the Feng Tian Sect elder’s face lit up with joy. Truly, heaven was helping Feng Tian Sect. He hadn’t expected such good fortune.

Standing on the bitterly cold Miao Xue Peak, Elder Yu and others were sweating profusely, their hearts pounding violently.

“Just now, I’ll distract it. You all protect Senior Lin and retreat,” Elder Yu knew the situation was bad, but no matter what, he had to ensure the disciples could escape, especially Lin Fan, who had been entrusted by the Grand Elder.

“Senior, no! We should advance and retreat together,” everyone’s expression changed. They realized the elder was willing to sacrifice himself to save everyone.

Although Elder Yu was at the high-level Xiao Tian stage, matching the same level as the ferocious beast, he still couldn’t be the Xue Wang Shi’s opponent.

“Don’t argue. Protect Senior Lin and leave,” Elder Yu’s expression turned cold, his surging fighting spirit like a raging flame, ready to fight the Xue Wang Shi to the death.

At this moment, Lin Fan was constantly thinking about something while using the system to analyze the Xue Wang Shi’s structure in detail. Finally, his eyes lit up, and he whispered secretly.

“Listen to Senior Lin. All of you, lie down and pretend to be dead.”

“What? Senior Lin, this…” everyone was confused, not understanding what Senior Lin meant.

“Don’t argue. Elder Yu, listen to me. Quickly lie down and hold your breath.” At this moment, Lin Fan, determined to save their lives, unhesitatingly lay down without hesitation, hoping this would work.

At this moment, Elder Yu, Zong Hentian, and others saw Lin Fan suddenly lying down. After hesitating for a moment, they also followed Lin Fan’s example, immediately lying down in front of the Xue Wang Shi, pretending to be dead.

At this moment, the sky was silent. No one knew what the Holy Sect people were doing. Had they given up resistance, knowing their fate was sealed?

The various sects on the sky warship were also filled with curiosity.

“Senior, what is the Holy Sect doing?” a female disciple from Jiutian Pavilion asked in confusion.

“I don’t know,” the old woman shook her head. Her eyes flickered with a hint of something unusual, not understanding what the Holy Sect was up to.

Other sects like Feng Tian Sect, seeing that everyone from the Holy Sect was lying on the ground, were also deeply puzzled.

Meanwhile, Lin Fan’s heart was pounding fiercely. It must work. If it didn’t, they would truly be finished.

He could only hope that the knowledge he had learned in his previous life would also be useful here.

Larger creatures naturally look down on smaller ones.

And when smaller creatures lie motionless on the ground, the larger ones will assume they are already dead.

At this moment, Zong Hentian felt deeply humiliated in his heart. He was a proud and talented disciple, how could he do such a thing?

“Senior, this damages our dignity. Why don’t we fight?” Zong Hentian said.

“Shut up and listen to Senior Lin,” Elder Yu narrowed his eyes, glared at Zong Hentian, and inwardly cursed, calling him a pig-headed disciple. Indeed, he was young and didn’t know his limits.

Experience is the best teacher. Elder Yu had been around for so long, he had seen everything. As long as he could save his life, what did such matters matter?

He would definitely report this to the sect leader when he returned and give these young disciples a good lesson.

When surviving outside, as long as you can keep your life, everything else is unimportant.

At this moment, the situation suddenly changed.

The Xue Wang Shi, which had been exuding a mighty aura, hesitated slightly, its crimson eyes narrowing slightly, as if in confusion. It exhaled a puff of hot breath, sweeping over the Holy Sect disciples, and found that those previously active little ants were now motionless.

Meanwhile, other disciples who had previously been excited suddenly changed expressions.

They saw the Xue Wang Shi shift its gaze, locking onto them.

A sense of danger enveloped them, making them feel suffocated.

“Not good, we’re in danger…”
