There was not a single trial participant on this route. Wang Zheng stopped walking and said to his surroundings, “That’s enough, stop hiding. Everyone’s time is limited. Let’s get done with it quickly.”
Hong long…
Wang Zheng had just finished his sentence when five silhouettes suddenly appeared and surrounded him. Each of them wore a colored mask. There were red, yellow, blue, white and black masks. It was an indescribable level of weird. Then he saw that all five held a card in their hands.
Wang Zheng’s eyes flashed. In the World of Saints, the one thing that no one could predict about was cards. Before the cards were activated, no one knew what type of special effects it had.
However, Wang Zheng’s eyes showed curiosity. Five cards, it felt a little like being treated like a VIP. “Ahem, stop looking, let’s get this over with.”
The expressions on the five person were not good, shit, was it easy for the five of them? They tried so hard to rush to the front only to see their target rushing towards them just as they laid down their ambush.
“Lock!”
The five of them suddenly acted, even their hand signs were exactly the same. Five cards were thrown out forcefully.
Hong long. Wang Zheng only felt his vision blur and then saw five streaks of twisted flashes appearing in his surroundings, locking him within a certain range. It was like a cage, except that if he wanted to escape, the twisted flash would whip him like an electric whip.
Pa!
The force was very strong, and…
He could very obviously sense that his Ability X was severely suppressed in this area locked down by the five streaks of flashes.
The five streaks of twisted flashes not only locked him into a cage but at the same time were also creating an Ability X suppressing field.
Wang Zheng watched curiously. Until now, the feelings he had about the technology in the World of Saints seemed very realistic. The technology appearing in here, could very possibly be realized in reality…
Just like the “cauldron” in Inner Roland.
The five person looked at Wang Zheng with a sneer. “Don’t struggle anymore. Just give us the Son of Saint qualifications obediently and then, we will not make it difficult for you.”
The Son of Saint Qualifications?
It looked like they had been here waiting for long, and were targeting him specifically, not only for the 32 Point Blade Technique.
“I’m very curious. Is this Saint Trial that important?”
Wang Zheng only had one thought towards the Son of Saint qualifications. It saved money. Now, no matter which trial he took part in, they were all free. It was very useful.
As for whether or not he could become the Son of Saint…
Was that really important? It was only a title.
“Don’t talk nonsense, let’s bash him and use the Snatch card.” Red said coldly.
Far away…
Tentacles’ head sneaked out, watching from afar.
Red, Yellow, Blue, White, and Black, had a very impressive nickname. They were called the “five color assassins”. They were powerful players from the Saint level. There were many legends about them and there was one story that many people loved. That was that the five of them had attacked a saint in the Acolyte level. While unsuccessful, but under the retaliation of the saint, they managed to retreat without suffering any damages.
To be able to retreat without damage from the hands of a saint, that was definitely a legendary experience to be proud of.
Tentacles was not stupid, Black Charcoal had been taking care of him all the way. Human heart was made of flesh. The reason why he was asked to check out the roads was also because Wang Zheng sensed the five color assassins and diverted him first…
Tentacles also knew that five cards. They were called the Five Element Soul Locking cards. These five people possessed the five elements – metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and formed a caged space that restricted Ability X.
Even if it was the Son of Saint, faced with this restrictive cage formed by the seal of the five elements, he would have to face defeat.
Hong long…
Red, Yellow, Blue, White and Black, all five of them attacked at the same time. The Greater Five Elements Rotating Cultivation technique formed a streak of white light and rushed towards Wang Zheng in the cage.
Wang Zheng blocked with his arms and there was a loud explosion. His whole person was blasted into the air and slammed against the twisted flashes that formed the cage. Instantly, electric light sparked and whipped him back into the middle of the cage.
It looked like some sort of high-energy laser cage but with a certain degree of intelligence.
The prerequisite to using the Snatch card was to defeat the opponent until the stage where he could no longer retaliate, yet still not dead. It was difficult to achieve. Such a difficult condition to fulfil and it was only the five color assassins who could do it.
Tentacles thought in his heart. A big organization was a big organization. This time it was definitely a killing formation. Black Charcoal could not escape from this attack. However, he did not know why but he could not feel happy at all. He betrayed Black Charcoal just like that?
Black Charcoal came because he trusted him.
Hong long…
And he saw Wang Zheng beaten to the ground again by the five of them. The clothes on his body was burnt and messed up by the five streaks of twisted lightning. Under this kind of seal, his Ability X could not be used at all and it greatly reduced the effect of his cultivation technique. Additionally, his opponents were powerful players from the saint level and had reached the point of despicableness.
Tentacles felt that he really was very despicable. He was a traitor and yet wanted to have a good reputation at the same time. He already took the benefits and then maintained a certain level of relationship with the Shadow Group. This was beneficial for him except for the fact that he had to sell out Black Charcoal.
But seeing the fiery eyes of Black Charcoal in the Five Elements formation, Tentacles felt uncomfortable. That kind of passion made him uncomfortable. If Black Charcoal was a little more selfish, a little more bad tempered, or maybe bullied him, then perhaps he would not feel so bad. But what he felt now, was that instead of selling Black Charcoal out, he… had sold himself.
All for a cultivation technique and a bit of money and he sold himself. During this period of time he was not happy at all. He was very conflicted and now he finally understood. He thought that he had earned something but actually the most idiotic person was him.
“F**k!”
Tentacles ground his teeth and rushed out. He wanted to destroy the seal. It was impossible to do so from inside. The Five Element conflicted formation was well-rounded and could not be opened at all. He could only interfere from outside.
Pa!
A figure suddenly blocked Tentacles.
“Tentacles, I always thought that you were a smart person. I did not know that you were an idiot as well.”
The guy in black looked coldly at Tentacles. A pitiful guy, going between conscience and benefits, feeling troubled over the conflict, such a stupid pathetic child.
Tentacles looked at his contact from the Shadows Group. He should have expected that they would have made preparations against him. Even though he failed but his heart felt very comfortable. People lived to be comfortable.
Tentacles laughed, he had not been so happy in a long time. He shrugged his shoulders. “I also think that I’m quite stupid, to actually be sold at such a low price, so I’m regretting it now!”
The contact person from Shadows Group laughed. “Tsk, tsk, even if I do not stop you, you think that Black Charcoal will forgive a traitor like you? Who dares to use a traitor? Hehe, on behalf of your talent, I’ll take it that nothing happened.”
His eyes were filled with an unexplainable mockery. It was most interesting to tease humanity, to see a person struggle non-stop, when actually fate was already totally out of his control.
Tentacles smiled faintly, “I’m also not sure what happened to me. In the past, I always thought that I’m someone. Now I know, I’m just an average person, not only that, I’m also the most average villain. Now I realize that I can’t even be a villain. Since I can’t be a gentleman, nor be a villain, I shall be a pathetic person, but even if I’m very pathetic, I will also have my pathetic integrity – that’s still better than you! A shameful backstabber!”
