BXBX NOVEL Chapter 774: 775: Who Has Seen Old 18?
A green bamboo stick was considerately thrown into the crowd.
In an instant, a powerful surge of Immortal Spirit Qi erupted violently. The Firecracker Thunderclap exploded the moment it hit the ground, sending waves of energy rolling outwards in every direction, slamming into the flesh of the cultivators present.
“Pfft!”
Located at the very center of the explosion, the cultivators felt as if their internal organs had been severely struck. They vomited blood forcefully, and despite deploying their cultivation level in defense, they could not escape sustaining serious injuries.
“What kind of move is this?”
“I didn’t see anything and was seriously injured by the blast. What on earth is this test?”
“All I see are passages, and then suddenly there was an explosion. Isn’t the challenge within this Formation a bit too harsh and dangerous?”
“How is this a test? This is clearly murder!”
“No, I have to retreat along the original path while I still remember it.”
“Yes, indeed. If such explosions happen a few more times, we won’t be able to withstand them. Let’s hurry out; our lives are the most important.”
The cultivators screamed in panic, having just entered the first Formation without fully grasping its intricacies. To their surprise, they had suffered grievous injuries for no apparent reason. If they didn’t take time to recuperate promptly, it might affect their trial in the Sword Sect!
“Don’t panic, everyone. This is definitely not an effect of the Formation!”
“Someone is taking action from a place we can’t see, someone is framing us!”
“Who exactly is it, daring to use the Illusion Array to attack cultivators?”
On the side, the Crown Prince’s face was a mix of shock and fury. The recent explosion had affected him as well, but fortunately, he wasn’t too close and managed to block the force of the explosion with his cultivation level. Even so, he still sustained not insubstantial injuries.
He was both shocked and furious. The person lurking in the shadows was fearless, still having the strength to attack other cultivators. Could it be that the Illusion Array had little effect on this individual?
“Crown Prince, what on earth is going on?”
“Is someone using your Illusion Array to massacre us? Stop the Formation at once and reveal the true culprit!”
“Indeed, the previous explosion has completely thrown me off guard. I cannot tell my bearings at this moment. If another big explosion comes my way, I won’t be able to withstand it!”
The cultivators voiced their accusations, their words carrying a hint of reproach towards the Crown Prince. If it wasn’t for his invitation into this Formation, how could they have encountered such a peculiar situation?
Blinded by the Illusion Array, they were now like trapped beasts in a cage, completely exposing their weaknesses, unable to even see their opponent, let alone fight back.
“Everyone, please calm down. Once I, the Princely Heir, make my way out of the Illusion Array, I will let all of you out!”
The Crown Prince was having a hard time explaining himself. He had intended to use this Formation to eliminate some bothersome cultivators, but it ended up trapping everyone instead. Who could have anticipated that a ruthless expert had infiltrated their ranks?
The others wanted to say more, but at that moment, they heard several swooshing noises in their ears once more, the howling winds identical to before.
Several more green bamboo Firecracker Thunderclaps were thrown into the midst of the people, with violent energy exploding continuously, the shockwaves billowing and shaking the heavens!
Urgent, urgent, urgent!
Danger, danger, danger!
“Pfft!”
The cultivators spewed another mouthful of blood. Quite a few who were close by suffered secondary damage, their bodies turning to charred corpses amidst the wild surge of Immortal Yuan, devoid of all life.
“Damn it, that person has made a move again!”
“I just heard screams; it seems a few have died!”
“Where is the Crown Prince? Hurry up and stop the Formation; if this continues, we will all be killed by it!”
“I heard that yesterday a mysterious person kidnapped all the talented youths from the Great Sects. Could the person who is attacking us today be that same person?”
“Damn it, my Clan Leader specifically instructed me again and again not to run around outside, and I sneaked out. Crown Prince, you can’t let us down, considering the trust we have in you!”
The fear in everyone’s eyes was palpable, and many had completely lost any intention of using the Formation to temper their bodies.
Joking aside, there’s a killing god hidden here; staying any longer could mean death.
“Hehe, what’s there to be afraid of? If that person only dares to strike from the shadows, it means their strength is quite average. The priority is to break out of the Formation to catch that guy!”
A few Princely Heirs smiled disdainfully. If the person in hiding truly had high cultivation level, they would have taken action directly on Azure Phoenix Peak instead of waiting for this moment. The opponent must be using such despicable methods to avoid being recognized.
“Good!”
Outside the Formation.
Li Xiaobai’s forehead was emitting a crimson light that kept flashing. His Sin Value soared, quickly reaching eight thousand. Two waves of Firecracker Thunderclap had killed quite a few disciples, and with the real culprit remaining elusive, all these accusations were being placed on the Crown Prince’s head.
He turned and continued towards the next Formation.
The clanging sound of Metal Slaughter’s Qi echoed ceaselessly, and the white-gold energy could be seen rampaging across the barren land.
[Attribute Points +200,000…]
[Attribute Points +200,000…]
[Attribute Points +200,000…]
The Blade Array formed by this Metal Slaughter’s Qi was indeed powerful. Although its attack strength wasn’t too high, it still belonged to the category of the Human Immortal Realm and was perfect for tempering the body.
Looking at the terrifying Formation emitting a sharp aura in front of him, Li Xiaobai found a relatively conspicuous spot, closed his eyes, and lay down, waiting for the next group of cultivators to arrive.
A few minutes later.
The Crown Prince, taking the lead, led a group of cultivators out of the first layer of the Illusion Array.
As soon as they emerged, they hurriedly stopped the operation of the Formation and released the trapped cultivators.
The group arrived in front of the Formation formed by Metal Slaughter’s Qi with solemn expressions on their faces.
“Crown Prince, it seems that we haven’t seen the person who is causing trouble from the shadows!”
A cultivator inquired.
“Isn’t that obvious? That person must be hiding among us, pretending to be trapped by the Formation and going with the flow to walk out without revealing any flaws.”
The Seventh Princely Heir had an ugly expression on his face too. He had been blasted until he was covered in soot, which was quite embarrassing.
“Gentlemen, although it was dangerous just now, it also stimulated our potential. It was by persevering in the crisis and finding the correct direction that we managed to make it through. I believe you have already realized the benefits. For those who want to leave before facing Metal Slaughter’s Qi, feel free to do so,” the Princely Heir continued with a grim expression.
“I will continue to pass the challenges and find out the person who is causing chaos behind the scenes!”
The Crown Prince spoke with a dark look, surveying everyone with scrutinizing eyes. Whoever dared to make trouble on his territory would surely pay a bloody price.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt that something was amiss; that annoying figure wasn’t appearing among the crowd.
“Has anyone seen number eighteen?”
