Chapter 423: Encirclement
Since Tang Chen said that the assessment duel is dominated by Zhuge Zhi, he naturally will not oppose Zhuge Zhi's proposal.
In fact, with his strength, he didn't worry about this assessment duel at all, the other party was just a group of high-level star kings with the combat power of the junior star emperor, not to mention that there were only two hundred of them, even if this number increased by ten times and a hundred times, it would not be his opponent.
The only thing he was worried about now was how to hide his strength from being discovered by those elders of the Instrument Sect.
If it was known that he, a junior Star King, had actually burst out with the combat power of the Star Emperor, this would definitely attract unnecessary attention and trouble.
He had heard Zhuge Ming say that there was a global surveillance star array in this secret realm, and any movement anywhere in it could be clearly seen by the outside world, so he had to be highly careful.
The two sat down on the mountain, and Zhuge Zhi sat cross-legged, ready to cultivate to recover from the previous losses. Since Tang Chen said that he mainly relied on himself, then he couldn't hold the mind of relying on Tang Chen, so he had to keep himself in the best condition at all times, so that in case he encountered the interception team, the chances of winning would be greater.
Tang Chen sat on the ground very casually, with the strength of his "Star Devouring Nine Turning Technique" and "Nine Divine Heavenly Star Technique", the consumption of running away would recover on its own in minutes.
"The rules of the assessment duel, are there any restrictions on companions helping to refine weapons?"
Before Zhuge Zhi entered the cultivation state, Tang Chen asked out loud.
Zhuge Zhi thought for a while and replied: "There is no limit, it is only said that you can only use the star weapon you have refined to participate in the assessment, which should be equivalent to restricting your companions from helping to refine the weapon, right?"
Tang Chen nodded, this rule seems to be so reasonable.
Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the current rest to refine Zhuge Zhi's star weapon again, help it improve its quality and enhance its combat effectiveness, but now it seems that he can only give up, lest the elders outside grab this one and judge Zhuge Zhi's failure in the assessment, then the gains outweigh the losses.
......
Three hundred miles away from the resting place of Tang Chen and Zhuge Zhi, two hundred members of the interception team lined up at a distance of five hundred meters, stretching horizontally for a full two hundred miles, advancing rapidly.
"Brother Huai, I've been chasing for a day, but I haven't even seen a figure, will I run in the wrong direction?"
In the middle of the one-word search array of the interception team, a young man asked another person five hundred meters away with his soul sense.
The person who was asked was named Zhuge Huai, and he was the leader of the interception team.
Zhuge Huai glanced at the communication star device in his hand and replied: "Can't be wrong, they must be in this direction, I ...... Traces of what they left behind have been found. ”
Hearing Zhuge Huai be so sure, the man no longer doubted, and instead said: "What kind of strength are they, judging from the speed at which they escaped, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with!"
Zhuge Huai's brows furrowed, his face was a little solemn, and he replied: "Their strength is indeed not weak, it is estimated that they have the combat power of the peak of the Beginner Star Emperor or even the Middle-level Star Emperor...... However, don't worry, even if they are really mid-rank Star Emperors, our two hundred Junior Star Emperors are enough to crush them!"
......
Two hours later, the interception team finally approached the mountain where Tang Chen and Zhuge Zhi were.
With the peak soul power realm of Tang Chen Star Emperor, the range of soul power is as high as more than 900 kilometers, and if you want to monitor the movements of the interception team, it is simply easy.
But he didn't do this, he didn't radiate his soul consciousness range to such a large extent, but controlled it at the level of the Beginner Star Emperor, that is, about thirty kilometers.
The purpose of doing this is mainly because he doesn't want to expose his strength, and on the other hand, it is also to give Zhuge Zhi a real test.
Thirty kilometers away from the top of the mountain where Tang Chen and Zhuge Zhi were, Zhuge Huai gave the order to surround the two wings in a roundabout way.
After he gave the order, the interceptors on both wings immediately made a detour to the sides and rear of the mountain, in order not to alarm Tang Chen and Zhuge Zhi, they carefully kept a distance from the mountain, and did not enter the range of thirty kilometers.
After about half an hour, the encirclement of the interceptors finally closed, surrounding the mountain where Tang Chen and Zhuge Zhi were located.
"Start closing!"
Zhuge Huai picked up the communication star device, gave an order, and immediately, all the interceptors began to march towards the mountain.
It didn't take long for them to finally come within thirty kilometers of the mountain.
Zhuge Zhi, who was cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes and said to Tang Chen, "It's not good, we are surrounded!"
Tang Chen nodded, not panicking at all, in fact, he had already noticed it before Zhuge Zhi found those interceptors.
"We have to break through right away!"
Zhuge Zhi immediately made a decision, immediately got up, and rushed away in the direction he had been advancing before.
Tang Chen hurriedly followed, but this time, he didn't run away with Zhuge Zhi, saying that if he wanted to let him face it, then he had to let him face it.
When Zhuge Zhi found the interceptors, the interceptors also discovered them.
"They are at the top of the mountain! They are fleeing in the direction of Fulongtan!" someone immediately reported the situation to the others.
"Stop them! Everyone hurry up and surround them!" Zhuge Huai ordered.
In fact, there is no need for him to say that several interceptors in front of Zhuge Zhi have already intercepted him, and the interceptors who are a little farther away have also quickly approached.
"Get out of the way!"
Zhuge Zhi shouted, pulled out a short stick, and slammed it forward in the air.
"Hoo ......"
I saw a yellow star power stick several zhang long, dragging a red tail flame, and struck at the oncoming several people.
Those few people did not show weakness, and they took out the star weapons one after another, and used their star skills to meet the star power stick.
"Bang!bang!bang......"
With a loud bang, the Star Power Stick and the Star Power Blades used by others all shattered, exploding a colorful Star Power Light Mist in the air in front of them.
Zhuge Zhi had no intention of fighting hard, and when he swung the stick of star power, he had already rushed towards a gap in the encirclement of the interceptors.
"Hmph, you want to run, it's not that easy!"
An interceptor on the side shouted, and at the same time waved the star weapon in his hand, hitting Zhuge Zhi with a star technique.
It was a cyan vine-like thing, with many branches on it, like many slender tentacles, and it grabbed Zhuge Zhi with teeth and claws, blocking all his path.
Zhuge Zhi is not stupid, he knows that this is a wood-based bondage star technique, and he must not be entangled with it, otherwise it will be difficult to get out.
He didn't hesitate, and immediately swung the short stick in his hand and threw it forward.
"Hula......"
A blazing stick of star power greeted the cyan vine, and instantly ignited the vine, just like a real vine, igniting a raging fire, and it burned into nothingness in an instant.
