Extra's Strategy: Cultivate Protagonists, Become Invincible-Chapter 127: The Fate Calculator Was Bad At Math

The first time Shen Kai learned to appreciate the frequent backstabbing from his peers in the sect was when he had survived his first-ever ambush, solely relying on an instinct honed through suffering surprise attacks.

Today was no different. Because of that extensive past experience, he had been careful enough to lock his senses on the trio who had hid behind him and launched the attacks. Otherwise, it would have been quite difficult to evade all the spells in time.

The confused cultivators saw their spells hitting nothing but thin air, completely missing the target. The moment the effects of the spells wore off, a dark shadow popped out from behind one of the four cultivators near his original position.

Before the cultivator could react, Shen Kai’s hand hit the back of his head with the hilt of a dagger. The force behind the hit knocked him out instantly, making his body go limp in Shen Kai’s arms.

Three more flashy spells whizzed toward Shen Kai while two silent spells were sent toward the ground and the sky. Shen Kai’s shadowy figure had vanished by the time the first spells reached his position.

But while he tried to appear behind another cultivator, he found the air around him suddenly becoming heavy as a rock and his feet refusing to leave the ground like a magnet stuck on a large metallic object.

Cursing silently, Shen Kai executed another technique and spread a disturbance among the qi fuelling the spells binding him. The attraction force of the ground loosened for half a second, and he took that chance to vanish off again.

This time taking a defensive measure, he reappeared behind the cultivator he had knocked unconscious earlier and raised his body up as a shield. His dagger snaked toward the cultivator’s neck and pressed on the skin there.

"If you don’t want him to die, you should reconsider your stance. If I detect another spell activating, you’ll be carrying his corpse back to your sect," Shen Kai said while backing up in a safer direction.

Heh, even the most brutal orthodox cultivators wouldn’t lightly sacrifice their martial brothers to win a battle. Every life here belonged to a sect. Every foundation was the result of careful nurturing. Every Mystic Art had been guided by precious advice.

Each death would mean nothing but a massive loss for a sect. Who’d dare to act with such a threat on their head?

And more importantly, judging by their orthodox techniques, he could sense that these guys were definitely not some rogue ’demonic’ cultivators. Shen Kai was sure that his threat would work wonders...

BANG!

A vicious spell hit the body he was holding squarely on the chest. The attacker had never intended to hit Shen Kai at all, evidently. The body of his hostage burst into ashes and disappeared, leaving a stunned Shen Kai open to all types of assault.

"What the fuck?! Which sect are you lot from?" Shen Kai yelled in shock. The spell had come the moment he had completed his threat. The attacker definitely knew the consequences. Yet they had casually killed their companion off...

The cultivators surrounding him showed zero emotions upon seeing their companion being reduced to nothingness. They didn’t even wait for his ashes to fall on the ground and attacked Shen Kai crazily.

Roaring in indignation inside, Shen Kai decided to escape for now. These guys gave off an aura of absolute madness. They looked ready to sacrifice themselves if it meant they could capture him. They had abandoned all defenses to attack him incessantly.

"Do I have some sort of past enmity with these bastards?" Shen Kai muttered to himself as he vanished off again and ran like the wind, leaving his reckless pursuers in the dust.

But hardly had he left the danger zone when another team, this time consisting of three considerably powerful cultivators, appeared in front of him.

His pursuers were too far away to even track his current position. And Shen Kai’s curiosity was burning now. Dusting off the signs of battle from his attire, he approached the three cultivators cautiously.

Upon noticing him, they also stopped running and came to a stop, maintaining a considerable distance from him.

"Fellow-FUCK!!!"

Shen Kai didn’t even get the chance to finish his sentence this time. The trio suddenly dropped all politeness and burst out with spell after spell. freewebnσvel.cøm

Why is this happening? I didn’t even say anything! I don’t know them at all!

Attracted by the sound of battle, the cultivators who had lost Shen Kai’s tracks came rushing over. It was now a one versus ten battle. Shen Kai was stronger than any of them, but he had zero chance of coming out of this unscathed if he prolonged the battle.

What made him feel the most misery was that his precious one-time escape technique had been used up during the battle last night against Han Xuhan. He couldn’t just teleport away anymore...

Facing the pressure of ten cultivators charging at him simultaneously, Shen Kai felt all of his combat potential being squeezed out brutally. He couldn’t waste a shred of a second, constantly changing positions, executing difficult techniques, racking his brain to come up with evasive measures one after one...

There were injuries all over his body after thirty seconds had passed. His mind had shut down all sorts of thinking other than trying to come up with ways to survive the next second. He bore the terrible physical pain and forced his aching, burning body to keep moving every time a new wound appeared on it.

More spells rained down on him. The teamwork of his opponents was incredible. Shen Kai had been cornered by now. Feeling the shadow of death peeking at him, his body burst with one last splendor of sheer willpower.

Even if I die, I’ll take down all of you damned hyenas with me! That was the cool verdict that rang through his dazed consciousness.

Shen Kai’s body felt like it was about to fall apart, his mind a mess of unwillingness and fear. He didn’t know how many more seconds he would live, but he chose to struggle till the end!

At this moment, the empty meridians inside his body suddenly pulsated, and the qi in the air surrounding the battlefield fell into chaos.
