Chapter 374: Chapter 374

In history, such things were not uncommon. Some people who could potentially affect the entire world were eliminated because of some people's interests, and sometimes these interests might just be trivial gains.

Now these people just needed to seize the opportunity and launch a sneak attack while someone was advancing to Saint Level - this was a very easy thing to do. At such critical moments of strength advancement, whether human, monster beast, or anything else, their ability to defend against external enemies would decline.

They were also easily disturbed, leading to failure in taking that step up. Either way, these were results these people wanted to see.

In their perception, if it was Guxing, then with Xiaoyao here, there was no one to help her protect her advancement. Even counting Xiaoyao as protection, to them, he was completely no obstacle - no difficulty at all!!

That was it - Xiaoyao had been here all along without leaving, and hadn't gone to find Guxing. He should be here protecting Guxing's advancement, waiting for her to advance to Saint Level.

However, now there was a question in everyone's minds - where was Guxing?

They could sense the intense aura of advancing to Saint Level, but for a moment they couldn't find where exactly this aura was coming from. They could find it if they searched slowly - it was just a matter of time.

However, they didn't have this time to waste, because this was already the critical moment. Someone who could emit such an aura could succeed at any time, maybe the next moment. It would only be short, not long.

Therefore they had to be fast - the faster the better!!

She was in this vicinity - where exactly? What places here could be used for hiding...

Those people were thinking. They discovered there didn't seem to be any places here for hiding. Although they couldn't sense the specific location, they could at least confirm it was within a certain range. Within this range, they hadn't found any perfectly concealed places.

Where exactly was it?

Those people didn't consider capturing Xiaoyao for questioning. Not because they felt they couldn't force words out of Xiaoyao, but because this required time. They believed Xiaoyao wouldn't open his mouth easily, and the time needed to pry open Xiaoyao's mouth would be enough for the other party to complete their advancement.

Thus, Xiaoyao was left aside, and no one thought of taking him hostage just in case.

For small figures like Xiaoyao, they didn't feel he had the qualifications to become a hostage. Who would give up anything for a mere servant?

An insignificant small figure...

"The waterfall! This small waterfall must have problems!!"

Everyone quickly locked onto the small waterfall as their target. They thought there might be caves behind this waterfall - if someone hid behind it, it would form a very good secluded cultivation spot.

If their group hadn't appeared this time, then this girl might have really succeeded. This couldn't be said to be her being too careless in choosing to break through here.

If they had signs of breakthrough, they would similarly choose to break through here. The reason was simple - breakthrough opportunities might flash by, and missing them might mean losing them forever. This wasn't something any martial artist wanted to experience.

So the two strongest among them rushed in, preparing to eliminate this about-to-be-born Saint Level martial artist. Those two Emperor Level Peak warriors weren't trying to show off or take credit - they just wanted the most secure elimination.

At the critical moment of advancement, defensive power would indeed decline, but not to zero. At the moment of impacting Saint Level, generally without Emperor Level strength, one couldn't get close. Emperor Level Peak would naturally be most relaxed and have the greatest possibility of eliminating the opponent.

Naturally, those with strength above Emperor Level weren't in this range - such people could eliminate the opponent even when it wasn't a critical moment.

Hmph, you think we don't know just because you're hiding here?

You're not the first person to hide behind a small waterfall. Throughout history, countless people have used similar methods. Those who mix in the martial world have more or less heard similar stories!

Therefore, while the place was good, once too many people knew about it, it became useless!

At this time, those people discovered Xiaoyao seemed to have no movements whatsoever - he didn't try to stop them, and didn't even show any nervous expression.

Could it be that his master wasn't inside?

No, his master should be inside. However, servants like him who weren't loyal to their masters were quite common - they wouldn't stand up for their masters.

At this moment, Xiaoyao was categorized as a heartless servant.

They didn't pay attention to think carefully. If Xiaoyao really was that kind of servant, he should still show some abnormality. His current situation was one of sharing life and death with his master - anyone with a bit of brains could think of this point.

If he had no brains, then this reaction was too calm - it wasn't something someone without brains could do!

If they thought carefully, they would definitely discover something was wrong with this situation. But the problem was they didn't take Xiaoyao seriously, so naturally they wouldn't think about these things.

Why was Xiaoyao so calm? The answer would appear soon...

"Ah, there's an ambush!!"

After the two people inside entered the small waterfall, they immediately cried out in alarm, then there was no more sound.

No, even if they were played, the two who went in were Emperor Level Peak experts. Ordinary people simply couldn't handle them. Just now there were no other human auras inside - besides the two who went in, there was only the one breaking through.

But the one breaking through was still continuing to break through. By normal logic, it was impossible to ambush others. What exactly was going on?

"Brother Chen, Brother Li, how are you?" The remaining sole Emperor Level practitioner shouted, hoping to get a response from them. However, much time passed without hearing any sound.

Not only was there no sound, but after entering the small waterfall, those two people's auras disappeared. This was what made him feel fearful - his heart felt ice-cold.

Two Emperor Level Peak practitioners just lost their auras like that. Thinking carefully, the person who set this ambush wasn't simple either. Otherwise, how could they eliminate two Emperor Level Peak practitioners in an instant? Even with a sneak attack, ordinary people couldn't do this.

Fighting such a person, he estimated he would have great difficulty handling it. If time dragged on, that girl breaking through would successfully emerge, and killing him then would be no different from squashing an ant.

Right, capture that kid for questioning. He looked disloyal and wouldn't sacrifice himself for his master.

"What are you looking at me for? Don't think of any bad ideas - I'm not easy to provoke." Seeing that person looking at him, Xiaoyao said with a smile and prepared to flee.

At this time, that person wanted to laugh. You, a small figure who isn't even King Level, dare say you're not easy to provoke? If it weren't for the fact that I'm not in the mood right now, I would have laughed my teeth off long ago.

"If you want to live, tell me what the situation is inside and where exactly your master is?" That Mid Emperor Level practitioner asked, releasing some killing intent. He felt this was enough to scare this kid.

"I want to live..." Xiaoyao replied.

As expected, this kid really wasn't very loyal - he betrayed his master so easily!

Just as the Mid Emperor Level practitioner was about to ask questions, Xiaoyao spoke again. These words overturned some of the Mid Emperor Level practitioner's thoughts and surprised him somewhat.

"This seems to have nothing to do with you. As for the situation inside, you can go in and see for yourself." Xiaoyao smiled, saying this without much care, and didn't look toward the small waterfall.

"Kid, you're seeking death!!"

The Mid Emperor Level practitioner felt like he had been played by such a small figure. This made the anger in his heart instantly rise to its peak, and he directly attacked, wanting to kill Xiaoyao.

Xiaoyao's life wasn't important to him. Precisely because it wasn't important, he could eliminate him at any time!!

As for whether the person breaking through was Xiaoyao's boss, he wasn't without consideration, but felt it unnecessary. Kill first and talk later - such a small figure dared to provoke me!!

"Sigh, everything is going wrong today." Xiaoyao shook his head, standing somewhat close to the waterfall. This was after he had dodged that Mid Emperor Level practitioner's killing move, though this was also just an instant's matter.

"??" That Mid Emperor Level practitioner was stunned, looking at Xiaoyao. This wasn't because Xiaoyao was fast - it was because he hadn't even attacked yet, but Xiaoyao had already moved away, as if he had predicted his attack.

This must just be a coincidence!!

So that Mid Emperor Level practitioner began attacking again, using a major technique from the start, wanting to kill Xiaoyao quickly. Even if this was using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, wouldn't this vent his anger better?

Facing an angry strike from a Mid Emperor Level practitioner, how should Xiaoyao deal with it?

By normal logic, at this time, he should dodge. Although he might not be able to completely avoid it, this was something that had to be done, otherwise he couldn't resist.

But now he wasn't following normal logic - and it was extremely contrary to logic. He actually stood there without moving, making no movements whatsoever.

He definitely couldn't dodge this - he had given up!! The rıghtful source is NoveI★Fire.net

Regarding this, that Mid Emperor Level practitioner only had this one thought - Xiaoyao had given up, knowing he couldn't dodge. But soon, he discovered his thinking was wrong again.

Xiaoyao wasn't not dodging - he simply didn't need to dodge!!

Just as the Mid Emperor Level practitioner's angry strike was about to reach Xiaoyao, an unexpected change occurred that no one had anticipated. A huge boulder suddenly appeared from the ground, rushing toward that Mid Emperor Level practitioner, blocking his major technique while also shattering itself.
