#175 - Ahead of the curve

Everything was just as Luo Ming had expected.

Although the disciples of the Weapon Peak had many magical treasures,

Su Chen's Profound Jade Shield alone withstood most of the attacks, making their defense impregnable.

With sacred artifacts in hand, Xue Yi and Xiao Yuan were even more powerful.

After a brief fight, they severely injured many Weapon Peak disciples, causing them to cough up blood and lose their ability to fight.

Afterward, Su Chen and his group retreated while fighting, gradually disengaging from the battlefield.

After chasing for a while, the Weapon Peak disciples were all panting, their spiritual energy greatly depleted, making it difficult to continue using their many magical treasures.

They could only watch helplessly as Su Chen and his group disappeared.

"Martial Peak, Profound Peak!"

"How dare you bully my Weapon Peak like this!"

"This is infuriating!"

The Weapon Peak disciples were so angry that they beat their chests and stamped their feet, feeling extremely angry and aggrieved.

"Damn it, if they didn't have four sacred artifacts, we would have won this battle for sure!"

"Where did Martial Peak and Profound Peak get so many sacred artifacts?"

The Weapon Peak disciples exchanged glances, all feeling somewhat incredulous.

---

"We've already snatched seven formation repair stones. This time, Profound Peak will definitely reach the top!"

Xue Yi counted on her fingers, her bright eyes sparkling with excitement.

Out of the twenty-four formation repair stones in total, they had taken nearly one-third, which was quite astonishing.

The strength gap between the other eleven main peaks wasn't too large.

It was rare for one main peak to stand out, and it was unlikely that any main peak would have more than seven formation repair stones.

"I'll contact the Martial Peak disciples who are skilled in formations and have them wait for us at Double Shadow Mountain."

"We'll continue to other places and try our luck!"

Xue Yi took out a communication magic weapon and began contacting the Martial Peak disciples.

After that,

Su Chen and his group headed straight for the nearest Demon Suppression Seal location, the Wraith Canyon.

This was a huge rift that almost ran through the entire Demon Sealing Ground, a shocking sight.

It was said that this was the attack unleashed by a Qing Province Emperor Realm expert during a great battle with a Demon Emperor a million years ago, splitting the vast land with a single sword strike, creating a world-destroying scene.

Within this canyon, there were a total of three Demon Suppression Seals, with three large formations located in different sections of the canyon, shining brightly in the dim demonic aura, flickering with dazzling light.

When Su Chen and his group arrived, they found that one of the Demon Suppression Seals had already been repaired, its emitted light clearly more intense, surpassing the other two Demon Suppression Seals.

The other two Demon Suppression Seals were erupting in chaotic battles.

Su Chen and his group had encountered other disciples.

Over a hundred disciples were fiercely fighting at each of the two Demon Suppression Seals, vying for the formation repair stones.

"Charge, charge, charge!"

Su Chen and his group were happy to see this and decisively joined the battle, hacking at anyone they saw.

Su Chen used the same trick again, wearing an invisibility cloak and quietly infiltrating the crowd.

Then, he struck like lightning, unexpectedly snatching the formation repair stone.

In an instant, the eyes of more than a hundred people fell on Su Chen, and they all abandoned their opponents and turned to kill Su Chen.

Another great battle broke out again.

Relying on the huge advantage brought by the four sacred artifacts, Su Chen and his group fought their way out of the encirclement with great difficulty after a quarter of an hour and quickly left.

Su Chen and his group quickly returned and quietly went to another Demon Suppression Seal.

Unfortunately, by the time Su Chen and his group arrived, the battle was already over, and no one knew who had taken the formation repair stone.

Su Chen and his group were not discouraged and continued to the next

Demon Suppression Seal.

Presumably because of the long distance and the fact that the disciples had had some time to obtain the formation repair stones,

by the time Su Chen and his group arrived, they found that the Demon Suppression Seal had already been repaired.

Su Chen and his group ran to two more Demon Suppression Seals, and after failing to find anything at either location, they reluctantly gave up.

"Eight formation repair stones are enough!"

Smiles appeared on the faces of Su Chen and his group.

In the following time, Su Chen and his group quickly joined up with several Martial Peak disciples who were skilled in formations and began to decipher the repair stones.

Xue Yi and the others were very tacit, and after deciphering the repair stones, they all let Su Chen repair the Demon Suppression Seal.

In this way, a full eight million points were all counted on Su Chen!

Xue Yi and the other three had come to help Profound Peak in the first place, and in addition to being able to grab so many repair stones, Su Chen had contributed the most, so they didn't have any thoughts, but were happy for the Profound Peak disciples.

During the process of repairing the Demon Suppression Seals, Su Chen and his group also encountered several sneak attacks from disciples of other main peaks.

However, in the face of the powerful defense of the Profound Jade Shield, Su Chen and his group stubbornly withstood the opponent's attacks and calmly repaired the Demon Suppression Seals.

Seeing this, the other main peak disciples could only leave dejectedly and did not continue fighting.

When Su Chen repaired the last Demon Suppression Seal,

outside the Demon Sealing Ground, many Holy Land experts fell silent and remained silent for a long time.

"If I'm not mistaken... Su Chen's personal score has already exceeded ten million, right?"

After a long time, an elder slowly spoke.

Many Holy Land experts exchanged glances, their eyes filled with amazement.

You should know that Tang Chuan, who is currently in second place with individual points, only has four

million points, less than half of Su Chen's!

Su Chen was directly and far ahead!

It was simply a cliff-like lead!

Luo Ming stroked his beard and smiled, saying: "Including the other disciples, Profound Peak's current total score is probably about fourteen million. Among the twelve main peaks, it's at least in the middle to upper reaches..."

"What's more, the reward for repairing the Demon Suppression Seals is calculated separately. Profound Peak has repaired eight Demon Suppression Seals, ranking first!"

As soon as this was said, the other Holy Land experts became even more silent.

No one had expected that Profound Peak, which was originally thought to be at the bottom in all aspects, could achieve such amazing results.

You should know that Su Chen, Xue Yi, and the others only added up to eight people!

Yet they were able to surpass those main peaks with more than a thousand disciples, how terrifying!

All of this can be said to have been facilitated by Su Chen alone, and Su Chen's contribution was the greatest!

"Thank you, Elder Luo, for sending people to help Profound Peak. We will remember this kindness in our hearts."

Zi Xuan and Yun Qianxue also smiled, quite grateful to Luo Ming.

"It's a small matter, a small matter."

Luo Ming said with a smile.

"It's such a pity to leave such a stunning and talented evildoer in Profound Peak!"

"We must find a way to poach him. At the very least, we must befriend him and build a good relationship!"

Many Holy Land experts' eyes flickered, and they began to think about how to poach him.

In the beginning, they only knew that Su Chen had cleared the Hundred Refinements Tower quickly and had very strong talent.

But that was all.

They knew too little about Su Chen and felt that Su Chen was just a slightly more powerful genius and didn't pay too much attention to him.

When Su Chen first joined Profound Peak, many Holy Land experts had visited Su Chen and extended olive branches.

But Su Chen didn't respond,

and they didn't continue to pester him.

Now, through the Demon Sealing Trial, all the Holy Land experts clearly felt how monstrous and terrifying Su Chen was, and they once again had the intention of drawing him in.
