Chapter 1173: Chapter 1039: Ambush

Things in the world can indeed be curious. In front of others, Koros relentlessly conceals his sister’s attribute, afraid of any mishaps.

Yet Qu Jianlei doesn’t seem to care, and he emphasizes his sister’s true attribute, hoping the other party will accept it.

This simply shows how crucial one’s persona is, and Qu Jianlei has done quite well in this regard.

He doesn’t bother to argue, only smiles, "My team only accepts elites. Your sister is just B-level, not quite qualified."

As for the other party being Wood Attribute A-level, he doesn’t even care to comment.

Without having gone through life-and-death battles, mere A-level of the Five Major Attributes really doesn’t catch his eye.

But upon hearing this, Corona feels somewhat unconvinced. "Sir, there are also two B-levels in your team!"

Those have gone through hardships together, can it be the same? Qu Jianlei shakes his head, "Those are one Light Attribute, one Dark Attribute."

Is Poison Attribute really powerful? It’s important to see who you’re comparing it to. Light and Dark Attributes are no worse than Poison Attribute, right?

"Light and Dark..." Hearing this, Koros is taken aback.

For Awakened individuals, sensing others’ cultivation level and attributes isn’t too difficult.

However, if the other party is intentionally concealing, the difficulty increases, especially when a High Tier Awakened helps in concealing.

He’s able to clearly sense the other’s cultivation level mainly because the perception of Wood Attribute is really strong.

Further sensing attributes isn’t impossible, but it’s very clear the other’s attributes are shielded by High Tier Awakened.

If he forcibly investigates, it’s provoking.

Therefore, he genuinely didn’t know the two B-levels of the opposite party turned out to have such attributes.

Of course, Poison Attribute isn’t necessarily worse than these two attributes, but arguing about this now is meaningless.

He nods slightly, "Sir’s team indeed is a place full of hidden talents, truly... admirable!"

Upon hearing this, Qu Jianlei sighs and shakes his head, "There’s nothing worth admiring, we are all pitiable people."

Indeed, it’s truly pitiful. With so many geniuses in the team, yet having to hide and focus solely on inconspicuous development.

On the night following this conversation, Qu Jianlei and his group quietly left the mine, aiming to board the Starship before dawn.

They drove two medium off-road vehicles, carrying twelve people.

The cars traveled over a hundred kilometers, entering a rainy region.

After traveling for another twenty-plus minutes, around seventy or eighty kilometers, two shouts came from the cars.

"Stop the car!" "Prepare for battle!"

The first was yelled by Granny Jia, the latter by Qu Jianlei.

At this moment, five supreme auras suddenly rose around them, extremely abrupt.

These five auras were Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth.

The Gold Attribute Supreme among them coldly snorted, "Stop the car and surrender, and I’ll spare your lives!"

"So it’s you!" Qu Jianlei immediately sensed the opponent’s aura.

This was actually one of the three ill-intentioned auras he sensed at the exit of the main auction hall.

The off-road cars didn’t stop at all. In just the brief span of two or three seconds, the car bodies exploded, and over a dozen figures dashed out.

"Attack freely!" Qu Jianlei issued the command, "Target the Supremes first... no need to hold back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he performed a Finger Technique towards the Gold Attribute Supreme, "Sight Deprivation~"

The Sight Deprivation he used could be considered a Group Attack Technique, but at this moment, it targeted only one person!

Because although the opponent had many people, their line of battle was stretched very long, and their positions were very strategic!

To put it directly, he was ambushed... his side was ambushed!

How did this happen? He couldn’t afford to consider this for now, what was certain was the opponent was waiting to labor!

It is advantageous to be prepared; everyone knows striking first is advantageous while delaying is disastrous!

Fortunately, the one who attacked was an enemy at Dream Star, no need to consider other possibilities.

Moreover, since the resentment originated there, his team’s display of fierceness wouldn’t matter.

Only those who’ve been to Dream Star know how many brilliant geniuses gathered at that auction.

There were even several above Supreme, no matter how abnormal his team’s combat power is, it would become "just that."

And in such an ambushed situation, it’s impossible to hold back!

Is it strange when a Dark Attribute Supreme appears at this point?

In fact, although the Imperial administers Awakened individuals strictly, many are not incorporated into the management system.

Otherwise, the recent strict investigation of Supremes wouldn’t have occurred.

Low Tier Awakened individuals are slightly easier to manage, with cultivation resources as constraints.

But High Tier ones... are more problematic. Many who’ve "disappeared" or "died" aren’t necessarily as they seem.

No need to use others as examples; just think of the Paranoid.

He is someone acknowledged by the military and served in the Divine Text Association, yet no one can ascertain his life or death!

Therefore, at this moment, Qu Jianlei asks everyone to let go, not to worry too much, and just counterattack directly.

However, this command was somewhat delayed, as there was no rule-abiding member in his team!

At the moment he ordered a counterattack, Qinghu and Mu Yu immediately armored themselves.

One was Earth Attribute Supreme, and the other was a Sand Attribute pretending to be Earth Attribute Supreme. At the start of the battle, they instinctively protected themselves.

Both of them armored up very quickly, and after armoring themselves, they prioritized armoring the rest of the team, putting the fight aside for the moment.

This was a matter of battle competence, also bearing distinctive Edge Star Realm characteristics.

Strictly speaking, the Inner Circle had such battle reactions too, and these often indicated a death match.

At first, they might be a bit passive, but after enduring the hits, it’s time for their side to demonstrate their power.

Qu Jianlei targeted the Gold Attribute Supreme, coincidentally, Paranoid and Bentley were after this person too.

Bentley drew out the Thunder Ram Horn, directly releasing a Thunder Dragon.

Paranoid unleashed a Golden Wheel—how could he pass up this obvious leader?

The Gold Attribute Supreme must have had anti-lightning gear, but it could only reduce lightning damage, not achieve complete immunity to attacks.

Thus, this Thunder Dragon didn’t cause him much distress; instead, he shouted, "Watch out! There’s Dark Attribute..."

This was completely unexpected—there was actually a Dark Attribute Supreme among the opposing team?

Normally, Sight Deprivation doesn’t affect Supremes much—not even A-level, necessarily.

They can use Spiritual Power to perceive the outside world, which isn’t much worse than using their eyes.

However, Sight Deprivation released by a Supreme Level Awakened not only influences sight but also affects spiritual perception.

Qu Jianlei wasn’t very skilled in Dark Attribute Techniques, and if used as Group Attack Techniques, wouldn’t significantly impact the enemy’s Spiritual Power.

But now he was targeting just one Supreme, simplifying matters, not to mention that he also mastered the use of Divine Sense.

For the Gold Attribute Supreme, this Sight Deprivation greatly affected him.

Compared to this, the Thunder Dragon’s impact was minor.

He was shocked to find himself not only unable to see but also his Spiritual Power seemed stuck in a sticky quagmire.

All external perception abilities vanished; this feeling was terrible.

At this moment, Granny Jia coldly snorted, "Five Elements cooperation... fancy that!"

Almost simultaneously with the snort, she sent an Ice Seal Technique towards the opposing Fire Attribute Supreme.

The opposition was indeed utilizing Five Element Cooperation.

The combined momentum of the five Supremes instantly became grand and overwhelming, omnipresent.

It wasn’t just pressure; it formed tangible oppression visible to the naked eye, with space seeming to distort.

In this situation, even Supremes felt suffocated, never mind ordinary people.

Qu Jianlei’s team’s dodging Body Technique slowed down and deformed.

Fortunately, the opposition’s cooperation took effect later; otherwise, it would have been genuinely problematic.

The Gold Attribute Supreme was clearly the leader, responsible for coordinating the Five Elements’ cooperation changes.

But unfortunately, being unable to see and with hindered perception, he couldn’t react appropriately.

Then, a Golden Wheel spun rapidly towards him!

Despite a severe perception decline, he instinctively sensed danger, responding with a reflexive dodge.

However, regrettably, Bentley’s Thunder Dragon had slightly paralyzed him.

His movement slowed down, and his Body Technique appeared distorted.

Yet the Golden Wheel released by Paranoid was capable of tracking.

Faced with this level of evasion, the Golden Wheel cut a small arc, directly slicing through.

The Gold Attribute Supreme wore armor, more than one layer too, beforehand.

But who is Paranoid? Qu Jianlei himself wouldn’t dare to directly intercept the Golden Wheel he released!

A piercing sound rang out, with the Golden Wheel breaking through multiple layers of armor, slicing his body two to three inches.

"Ah~" he couldn’t help but shout, then the second Thunder Dragon followed closely.

His body grew stiff again as the Golden Wheel continued, diagonally severing him into two pieces.

This strike didn’t kill him, but it completely incapacitated him in terms of combat power.

With his incapacitation, the Five Elements cooperative aura quickly disintegrated, faster than imagination.

The immense pressure vanished instantly, making everyone feel lighter.

The next moment, Paranoid executed an Instant Flash, appearing beside the Wood Attribute Supreme, bringing down a slashing palm.

The convergent property of the Gold Attribute is very real, and the former Supreme above them was no weakling.

Paranoid’s approach was clear: first deal with the leader, then confront the opposing Supreme, aiming for a swift decisive victory.

Granny Jia’s approach was similar, although she wouldn’t bother with the Gold Attribute Supreme.

She believed this leader absolutely wouldn’t be spared by her team, so she refrained from joining the fray.

Repeated attacks severely wasted combat power; focusing on handling the Fire Attribute was the right path.
