Turning to Ji Shaoyun beside him, he said:

"Big brother, this kid has been provoking us all this time, let's just send our people in and kill him!"

But Ji Shaoyun frowned slightly, and looked at Ji Ru Yu with a sense of caution: "Don't you feel that his attitude is too relaxed?"

"Even knowing we hired someone to kill him, he's still acting so recklessly, without any sign of panic."

"Moreover..."

Ji Shaoyun paused: "Don't you feel the surroundings are too desolate? Earlier, we didn't notice it and just thought he gave us a good environment. But what if he deliberately lured us here, and in reality, he's just the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?"

Ji Shaoyun's words made Ji Lanshan frown as well.

But soon.

Ji Lanshan's frown eased. Biting his teeth, he turned to Ji Shaoyun and said: "Big brother, at this point, there's nothing to worry about."

"Besides, have you forgotten? For this plan to succeed one hundred percent, we hired two Second Grade Peak Cultivators. Even if he has some confidence, at most he has one Second Grade Peak with him. Two against one, we're bound to win."

Ji Lanshan's words immediately relieved Ji Shaoyun's previous worries.

His eyes brightened.

That's right.

Hiring a Second Grade Peak Cultivator costs a lot of money.

Even though Ji Shaoyun and Ji Lanshan are both wealthy, they only came to Tanggu Mountain for a competition this time.

They never expected Ji Ru Yu to pose any threat.

Initially, they didn't plan to spend money hiring anyone.

So the money they had was barely enough to hire one Second Grade Peak Cultivator each.

They both pooled together.

Hired two.

And Ji Ru Yu, who ranks third in the Ji family, has fewer resources than the two of them.

If Ji Ru Yu wanted to hire someone, he could probably only afford one Second Grade Peak Cultivator.

They have two people on their side.

Ji Ru Yu has only one person on his side.

They're sure they can take care of Ji Ru Yu's side.

Thinking of this, Ji Shaoyun said viciously: "Then let's not send anyone out for now, let him stay there worrying for a while, torture his mind first, then deal with him."

Despite his outward gentlemanly appearance, when his interests are at stake, Ji Shaoyun becomes like a bloodthirsty demon.

Ji Lanshan felt nothing about this.

In his view, it was all Ji Ru Yu's fault.

If Ji Ru Yu had obediently been the third, not threatening them, they wouldn't be targeting him.

Who told Ji Ru Yu to surpass them?

Seeing no one around after calling out, Ji Ru Yu sighed lightly.

He knew Ji Shaoyun and Ji Lanshan's thoughts.

They intended to torment him on purpose.

But.

What Ji Shaoyun and Ji Lanshan probably didn't know was that he wasn't afraid of this so-called mental torture at all.

He possessed absolute confidence.

At Wang Ye's location.

The master of the Divine Stone Workshop, Zhou Ke, and Lin Shuang, because they were watching from a divine perspective, could hear the conversation between Ji Shaoyun and Ji Lanshan clearly.

Several people exchanged glances.

They couldn't help but smile.

Ji Shaoyun and Ji Lanshan were constantly scheming, unaware that they were the true jesters.

...

Ji Ru Yu started performing.

His speed increased.

The expression on his face grew anxious.

He kept glancing around with fear in his eyes, as if anyone could appear at any moment and take him down.

Running while looking around caused him to stumble countless times.

On the surface, Ji Ru Yu looked desperate, but inwardly he felt pleased.

After all, there were only five people here.

Himself.

Ji Shaoyun, Ji Lanshan, and their two hired people.

Soon, the other four would be dealt with directly, and no one else would know about his act here.

But what Ji Ru Yu didn't know was.

While he was acting, Wang Ye and the master of the Divine Stone Workshop were watching.

"I didn't expect Ji Ru Yu to actually start acting, and he does it quite convincingly," Zhou Ke, who couldn't help but chuckle earlier, now laughed outright.

"Being able to act is actually quite good, otherwise in the Magician circle, facing all kinds of situations isn't as simple as it seems. When dealing with difficulties, Ji Ru Yu can resolve them well," the master of the Divine Stone Workshop analyzed professionally.

Then.

Unable to resist.

The master of the Divine Stone Workshop laughed as well.

Observing others from a divine perspective, without them knowing anything, is truly interesting.

Wang Ye and Lin Shuang exchanged a look, and they too had a faint smile.

On Ji Ru Yu's side.

As Ji Ru Yu fell again, Ji Shaoyun ordered directly: "Act now!"

The time spent tormenting Ji Ru Yu was enough.

And Ji Ru Yu's fall was the best opportunity for the assassin to deal with him.

After all, Ji Ru Yu also possesses the strength of a Third-Grade Cultivator.

If they acted when Ji Ru Yu had the strength to resist, it might cause trouble, especially with his Second Grade Peak Cultivator on the side.

By then, if Ji Ru Yu delayed, attracting others, it wouldn't be fun.

Upon Ji Shaoyun's command, the two Second Grade Peak Cultivators acted instantly.

Ji Shaoyun and Ji Lanshan's smiles were a bit fierce.

In just a few days, the threat Ji Ru Yu presented made them uncomfortable.

They needed to quickly deal with Ji Ru Yu.

The two Second Grade Peak Cultivators moved swiftly.

In a heartbeat.

They were directly at Ji Ru Yu's side.

The two Second Grade Peak Cultivators attacked Ji Ru Yu, who was on the ground.

But just as the two Second Grade Peak Cultivators were about to strike Ji Ru Yu, no one else appeared.

Ji Shaoyun and Ji Lanshan exchanged surprised looks.

Ji Ru Yu didn't call for reinforcements?
