Lin Mu could reckon this Third tribulation stage immortal had a bit of luck on his side to even last this long.

“But this is the last bit of his luck.” Lin Mu said as he observed Lu Xu finish the man off.

~SHUA~

His spear stabbed the man, injuring him as well as breaking the identity token on his body. With the second intruder teleported away, Lu Xu and Qian Wen quickly returned to their positions.

“Looks like I got lucky this time.” Lu Xu chuckled.

“I’ll pay more attention next time.” Qian Wen wasn’t one to back down either.

“Do you wanna make a bet?” Lu Xu suggested.

“What kind of bet?” Qian Wen asked.

While he wasn’t one to gamble, he wouldn’t mind a friendly bet. The betting they were doing on the tournament didn’t count since that was basically a calculated investment after Lin Mu’s interference.

“Well, the one who defeats the most cultivators, gets 10% of the other’s profits from the wins.” Lu Xu replied.

“Hmm…” Qian Wen thought about it for a moment.

“What if Brother Mu Lin also joins it?” Ming Dandan asked hearing their conversions.

“Then there’s no point in the bet. Haha! Brother Mu Lin will easily come out on top.” Lu Xu replied. “The bet will be just among us.” 

“Alright.” Qian Wen agreed as the betting amount wasn’t that big.

Plus with how much they were going to receive, it wasn’t that much of a difference. He also reckoned a friendly competition would only add to the fun of the tournament.

‘I guess they’re having fun.’ Lin Mu noticed the banter between his companions and the bet they decided on.

He didn’t mind it and let them do it. 

~SHUA~

Not long after, he sensed two more cultivators approaching and alerted the rest.

This time, Lu Xu and Qian Wen were even more prepared and were already standing where the two Fourth tribulation stage immortals would be entering from. Similar to before the two immortals plummeted to the ground.

“Who’re they?” One of the Fourth tribulation stage immortals noticed them right from the sky. 

Lu Xu tried to repeat his previous trick but was unsuccessful when his target suddenly changed the direction of his fall.

~WHOOSH~

The target used a movement skill that allowed him to momentarily step on air. 

“This’ll be a tricky one.” Lu Xu got ready for a proper fight.

The second intruder though, wasn’t as lucky. Qian Wen also didn’t want to take chances and directly jumped into the air.

~Slash~

His sword shone with a light before a sword imprint flew out.

The second Fourth tribulation stage immortal only managed to change his direction enough to avoid his vitals, but was still cut on his hand.

Lu Xu and Qian Wen quickly embroiled in short combat before retreating behind the Swamp Ring.

“These one’s are a bit tougher.” Lu Xu muttered.

“We still have more chances.” Qian Wen said as he watched the two Fourth tribulation stage immortals pursue them.

“Two Damned Third tribulation stage immortals dare ambush us!? You will suffer for this!” the Fourth tribulation stage immortals shouted in anger.

But this also made them miss the fact that there were other traps in the area too. One of them stepped on it, and ended up suddenly turning around.  ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

“Where are you going!” his companion tried to stop him but this opened up his back to another attack.

~Shing~

~SLASH~

Lu Xu and Qian Wen weren’t one to miss and advantage like this and quickly lashed out with their long range attacks.

The two Fourth tribulation stage immortal got injured, and they realized there were traps here.

“We need to be careful about the Befuddling formations!” The first Fourth tribulation stage immortal stated.

“There might be other traps here too.” The second Fourth tribulation stage immortal said while continuing to walk.

~SPLAT~

Much to their surprise, they had walked into a trap again, sinking to their knees in the swamp.

“Again!” Lu Xu rushed at the two immortals, sending several thrust attacks.

The two immortals though managed to get out of the swap, since one of them could use a movement technique.

~HOWL~

But what they didn’t know was that there were more people targeting them. Or rather, people and beasts.

“A wolf?” By the time the first Fourth tribulation stage immortal noticed the beast in the sky, it was already too late.

~CLANG~

Ting’s claws struck his staff, sending him flying back.

ƥαṇdα- ηθνε|·ƈθm

He slammed into his companions, knocking the wind out of his lungs.

“Need some assistance?” Ming Aolian asked.

“Right on time.” Lu Xu replied with a smile. “This should help us enough.” 

The one attack from Ting was enough for Lu Xu and Qian Wen to gain an advantage again. 

~SHUA~ SHUA~

A couple of minutes later, the two Fourth tribulation stage immortals were defeated, their bodies turning into flashes of light.

“Any more incoming?” Lu Xu asked Lin Mu.

“Yes… just a minute away.” Lin Mu replied while continuing to observe.

Lu Xu and Qian Wen got ready to be in position, while Ting flew high up into the sky. She was to swoop in when Lu Xu and Qian Wen needed help.

And just like this, the four companions of Lin Mu became better and better at cooperating. One after the other, teams of immortals started to fall under their combined attacks. An hour ended up passing like this, during which they had defeated about sixteen immortals.

But now, it looked like the rest had become cautious.

“It was bound to happen, I guess.” Lin Mu noticed that the six remaining cultivators were actually backing away. 

It was expected since they had noticed other immortals go and simply disappear. It didn’t take a genius to know that there was a trap hidden ahead.

“Should we coax them in?” Qian Wen inquired.

“No… let them be. We got time.” Lin Mu said as he sensed that the other Spatial Plane was still intact.
