"Hahaha!"
"This treasure is mine!"
"I never expected this treasure to be the legendary Chi Xiao Sword!"
"Heaven truly favors me!"
"Young Master, I happen to be in need of such a treasure sword, and it just came to me on its own!"
"Anyone who dares to snatch this treasure sword from me today will be my enemy, Wang Tianhan!"
"Then don't blame me for showing no mercy!"
Saying this, Wang Tianhan deliberately amplified the volume of his voice using his Yuan Li.
Ensuring everyone could hear him.
"Ye Fei, we've really met a formidable opponent this time!" Feng Ruoqin whispered.
"I have a plan. I'm going to snatch the Chi Xiao Sword the moment the formation master is about to break the formation!"
"I'll need you to hold them off for ten breaths of time then!"
"They'll definitely all come after me, and you'll be safe!"
This was a plan Ye Fei had devised after careful consideration.
"How about I take the treasure for you, and you stall for time instead?" Thinking of Ye Fei being pursued and surrounded by everyone, Feng Ruoqin couldn't help but worry for him.
However, her suggestion was eventually rejected by Ye Fei.
"Trust me this once, I can do it!"
"We'll meet at the place where the team rested earlier!" Ye Fei said firmly.
"Alright, I'll listen to you!"
"I'll try my best to hold them off for you for a longer time then." Feng Ruoqin added.
"Thank you!" Ye Fei cupped his fists.
After all, this was Ye Fei's own matter, and he had no reason to ask Feng Ruoqin to draw fire for him while he hid behind her and reaped the benefits.
"Look quickly, the formation master is about to break the formation!"
A formation master with white hair and a youthful face, looking like a master, walked around the cave entrance several times.
Then he returned to his original position.
The previously noisy scene suddenly fell silent.
Ye Fei's heart stirred, guessing that everyone had the same idea as him, waiting for the formation to be broken to contend for the Chi Xiao Sword.
If Wang Tianhan knew this thought, he would surely scoff.
Without the fire-resistant beads, they wouldn't even be able to approach the cave entrance, let alone obtain the Chi Xiao Sword.
They dared to approach the cave entrance because they had the fire-resistant beads.
Ye Fei and Feng Ruoqin hid behind a large tree, waiting for the moment the formation was broken.
However, the treasure protection formation of the Chi Xiao Sword was also quite extraordinary in Ye Fei's opinion.
It seemed it wouldn't be broken in a short time.
"In my opinion, this formation will definitely take a considerable amount of time. We'll have to wait a while longer," Ye Fei frowned and said.
As Ye Fei had predicted, breaking the formation indeed encountered significant difficulties.
The formation master with white hair and a youthful face and his disciple were carefully deducing the formation.
But their thoughts were still chaotic, and they couldn't come up with the correct method to break it.
"Master, even you can't do it?" This was the first time the disciple had seen such a troubled expression on his master's face, and he was stunned for a moment.
"This formation is indeed powerful. I can't think of a particularly good solution for the time being." The elder with white hair and a youthful face was also the chief formation master sponsored by the Wang family, Elder Zhang.
Therefore, Wang Tianhan treated him with considerable respect.
But after such a long time, Wang Tianhan, who had little patience to begin with, was about to lose his temper.
Uncle Liu, who had been observing his emotions, immediately stepped back and came before Elder Zhang to inquire.
"Elder Zhang, approximately how much longer will it take to break this formation?"
"I see the Young Master is getting impatient."
Elder Zhang also looked helpless. He had just gotten a clue.
"To tell you the truth, this treasure protection formation is truly formidable. I've only just gotten a clue, and it will likely take another day."
After receiving the answer, Uncle Liu returned to the Young Master's side.
"Young Master, Elder Zhang is indeed a capable person. Let's wait a little longer."
After a patient explanation, the Young Master finally calmed down again.
As time passed, the originally calm scene became somewhat chaotic.
Many cultivators who had lost patience were on the verge of cursing.
It was at this moment that Elder Zhang, with white hair and a youthful face, suddenly laughed and strode forward to the Young Master.
He cupped his fists and said,
"Young Master, I have finally fulfilled my trust and found the method to break the treasure protection formation!"
"Please step back a few paces, Young Master. I will now break the formation for you!"
Elder Zhang then replaced a fire-resistant bead, leaped into the air, and suspended himself above the large cave entrance. He then began to draw the formation-breaking diagram on the transparent light screen of the treasure protection formation.
This time, the formation-breaking diagram was indeed more difficult than expected, but fortunately, he had thought of the perfect solution under pressure.
As this solution had been verified by him multiple times, the drawing process was exceptionally swift.
Half an hour later, a grand and complex formation-breaking diagram was completed.
Finally, Elder Zhang opened his right hand and simultaneously struck the formation eye of the diagram with his Yuan Li!
"Break!"
He roared in unison.
Immediately after, the transparent light screen erupted with a fierce and dazzling light!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Fei had already charged forward with all his might.
Ye Fei was truly risking his life this time!
The Chi Xiao Sword was his and his alone!
Everyone began to rush forward!
Many cultivators who were not wearing fire-resistant beads were directly engulfed by the flames and fell down!
Their bones were gone!
Their ashes were scattered!
"Go, seize the Chi Xiao Sword for me!"
"This treasure is mine, you are not allowed to snatch it from me!" Wang Tianhan shouted, seeing so many people trying to take his prize.
At this time, only one guard remained by his side to protect him; the others had all been sent out to seize the Chi Xiao Sword.
With a fierce charge and a roar, Ye Fei quickly grasped the Chi Xiao Sword!
"Ha!"
The moment Ye Fei held it, the Chi Xiao Sword let out a series of humming sounds!
Then, with another surge of force from Ye Fei, the Chi Xiao Sword was directly collected by Ye Fei!
At the exact moment the Chi Xiao Sword was collected by Ye Fei, the auspicious light at the cave entrance vanished!
"Quick, catch that kid!"
"Kid, don't run!"
"Return my Chi Xiao Sword to me!"
"If I catch you, you're dead!"
Wang Tianhan watched his long-coveted treasure being snatched away like this, and his feelings were beyond description!
He was truly enraged!
