Seeing the three men's escalating momentum, Qin Xuan glanced at Leng Qian and said, "You go find Linlin. I'll deal with these three."
"There are three of them, you..." Leng Qian worried about Qin Xuan.
This was Leng Qian's first encounter with people from the Gu tribe. While she didn't know their strength, judging by the disgusting insects, these fellows were surely not simple.
Facing the three Gu tribe members, Qin Xuan sneered, "Hmph, what's the point of having more of these people who live in the dark all day? Don't worry about me, I can handle it. Go find Linlin first."
Leng Qian hesitated for a moment, then nodded. She circled around from the other side and headed towards the backyard.
"Come on, let me see what your Gu tribe is capable of. Are you only good at placing Gu behind others and playing these filthy tricks?"
Miao Tie's ears perked up at this, and he instantly became enraged. "Kid, so what if you're a Grandmaster? Today, I'll show you the power of our Gu tribe!"
With that, the three of them charged forward together.
Their speed and strength had both increased two to threefold. They were far faster than before.
However, in Qin Xuan's eyes, there wasn't much of a difference.
"A bunch of cockroaches from a sewer."
Qin Xuan grunted, his sharp gaze instantly locking onto one of the sorcerers.
The next moment, Qin Xuan vanished from his original spot and reappeared in front of the sorcerer. He grabbed the sorcerer's head and pinned him down.
"What!" The sorcerer exclaimed in shock. "How... how are you so fast!"
"Ignorance," Qin Xuan sneered. He twisted the sorcerer's head and flung him away. The sorcerer crashed into a pillar, breaking it, and landed on the ground, spitting blood.
Miao Tie and the other sorcerer's jaws dropped.
They had so easily dealt with a mid-level sorcerer?
Was the strength of a Grandmaster truly this immense?
Miao Tie quickly shook his head and shouted to the remaining sorcerer, "Quick, use the Illusion Gu technique!"
The other man nodded. Together, they each retrieved a bright green Gu worm from their waist-mounted bamboo baskets.
Then, Miao Tie circled behind Qin Xuan. With the other sorcerer, they positioned themselves front and back, unleashed their Gu worms, and the worms burrowed into the ground.
Immediately, a green mist began to drift around them.
Qin Xuan scoffed at the sight. "What trick are you trying to pull now?"
Miao Tie's face darkened, and he sneered, "The mist from this Illusion Gu technique, once you inhale even a little, you'll be trapped in endless illusions until your spirit is exhausted and you die!"
"Oh? Is that so?" Qin Xuan, far from showing any fear, actually chuckled.
"You can still laugh!" Miao Tie's anger flared further upon seeing Qin Xuan still smiling. "Laugh now, and soon you'll wish you were dead, but unable to die!"
Qin Xuan watched as the mist slowly filled his surroundings, and he crossed his arms.
To be honest, Qin Xuan didn't care about the strength of this mist.
Having cultivated the Diamond Sutra, Qin Xuan was already immune to all poisons.
A thousand years ago, the most formidable characteristic of Buddhism was their immunity to all poisons.
Cultivating the Diamond Body not only made the outer body incredibly tough but also rendered one immune to all poisons.
Therefore, even if Qin Xuan inhaled this mist, it couldn't penetrate deep into his body. Within a few breaths, it was expelled.
Even without cultivating the Diamond Sutra, Qin Xuan wouldn't fear this petty Gu tribe mist. At worst, it would be troublesome, requiring him to protect his internal organs with Dragon Qi.
Miao Tie and the other man rejoiced as they saw Qin Xuan enveloped by the mist. "Quick, this kid is probably trapped in illusions. Attack together and kill him!"
As he spoke, they both surged forward, drawing out peculiar curved blades and slashing at Qin Xuan.
One aimed for his head, the other for his feet, showing no mercy.
Just as their blades were about to strike, Qin Xuan instantly vanished from his spot, and their attacks went wide.
"Hmm?" Miao Tie furrowed his brow. "Where did he go?"
The other sorcerer's eyes widened. He pointed behind Miao Tie and said, "He... is... behind... you!"
"What!" A chill ran down Miao Tie's spine. He instinctively swung his blade behind him, but it still missed.
Qin Xuan appeared a few meters in front of them and mocked them, "Is this all the strength your sorcerers have? A bunch of trash, even insulting martial artists. With your pathetic strength, you probably couldn't even defeat a Houtian level martial artist."
These words enraged Miao Tie even further. He wasn't just insulted, but the glorious Gu tribe was insulted too. This was unbearable!
"I'll fight you to the death!" Miao Tie roared, leaping forward and bringing his blade down towards Qin Xuan's head.
