Lu Fan’s expression grew even more solemn after probing around. “The ancient killing array is truly extraordinary, possessing such an effect. Everyone, quickly attach yourselves to your spiritual bodies, otherwise you will certainly die within the killing array!”
The others dared not delay, and they all activated their spiritual bodies. Their gazes were filled with solemnity, for they knew very well that within this ancient killing array, their lives were utterly insignificant.
It was the most terrifying thought that no one would even care if they perished within the ancient killing array.
After searching for a while, Lu Fan did not find an exit. He frowned, naturally not expecting the power of the ancient killing array to be so immense, making it utterly unreachable.
These ancient killing arrays were incredibly intricate, unlike other killing arrays that would stir a person’s heart.
Meanwhile, the young master of the Tao family spoke, saying, “This killing array is exceptionally peculiar, and it’s impossible to discern direction. To exit this array, we must divide into four square formations and advance sequentially from these four formations; perhaps we can find a loophole!”
“I was thinking the same thing!”
Lu Fan nodded and said, “Let’s divide into four square teams and head in four directions. Perhaps we can break the killing array.”
“But if we do that, won’t we be separated?”
Xu Kuo frowned, “If this is the case, we’ll likely be picked off one by one. After all, besides the killing array, there are so many experts!”
“This is the only way now!”
With a helpless wry smile, the young master of the Tao family stated directly, “This killing array is extremely strange. Although it doesn’t possess sharp killing energy, it can trap us within it, making it impossible for us to break free!”
Facing these words, everyone present nodded slightly, and could only step towards the four directions.
Lu Fan went alone in one direction, continuously moving forward without any hesitation. He knew very well that if they didn’t leave this killing array quickly, they might not be able to obtain the spirit pearls, which would then cause even more trouble.
To enter Zhongzhou Academy, one must obtain spirit pearls. If they couldn’t get the spirit pearls, they wouldn’t be able to enter Zhongzhou Academy, and everything they had done would be in vain.
After a short while, Lu Fan arrived at the edge of the killing array. Seeing that the killing array had not been activated, he smiled. But at that very moment, Lu Fan felt as if he had stepped on something, and his entire body instantly disappeared from where he stood.
Seeing Lu Fan disappear, the others were slightly stunned and quickly prepared to turn back. But at that moment, they too were teleported away, seemingly inexplicably, without knowing what had happened.
Meanwhile, Lu Fan’s figure appeared in another area of the ancient battlefield. This place did not seem to have left the ancient battlefield; they were still within the battlefield. Upon careful observation, Lu Fan realized that he had entered the deepest part of the ancient battlefield.
Seeing the scene before him, Lu Fan’s heart stirred slightly. He sensed carefully and discovered that directly in front of him, there were two spirit pearls. He rejoiced in his heart.
Their purpose in coming to this killing array was to find spirit pearls. Now that they had found the whereabouts of the spirit pearls, they naturally wouldn’t miss out.
However, Lu Fan felt a sense of pleasant surprise. If he could obtain two spirit pearls, wouldn’t that mean he could gift one away? That would be excellent.
After a short while, Lu Fan arrived in a wilderness within the ancient battlefield. Within that wilderness, two shining spirit pearls appeared, looking incredibly lifelike, which stirred Lu Fan’s heart.
At that very moment, Lu Fan took the two spirit pearls into his hands. After obtaining the spirit pearls, he could enter Zhongzhou Academy, which was naturally the best thing for Lu Fan.
However, at that very instant, a figure appeared directly in front of Lu Fan, looking at him coldly, with a chilling glint in her eyes. “Hand over the spirit pearls, and I can spare your life!”
Looking at the woman before him, Lu Fan was slightly surprised and said with a smile, “The spirit pearls are already in my hands. Do you intend to snatch them? I’m afraid that’s not appropriate.”
“What I, Ouyang Qingqing, want, I have always obtained!”
Ouyang Qingqing said coldly, “If you don’t hand over the spirit pearls, you might die a very ugly death. After all, not many people can leave my hands alive.”
“Are you really that powerful?”
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. “If that’s the case, I might as well try and see if you have the ability!”
Facing these words, Ouyang Qingqing smiled faintly. “You are not from the Northern Region, are you? Otherwise, upon hearing my name, you would have probably knelt on the ground and handed over the spirit pearls without speaking such arrogant words.”
“You guessed correctly. I am not from the Northern Region. Do you perhaps have some special aspect?” Lu Fan shrugged slightly, his gaze becoming sharper.
“I am the Divine Maiden of the Northern Region. Within the entire Northern Region, there is no one of the younger generation who is my match. Now that you know my identity, you should know what to do!” Ouyang Qingqing said coldly, her gaze sweeping over Lu Fan once more.
Lu Fan, however, smiled faintly. “You just said you are the Divine Maiden of the Northern Region. What does that have to do with me? You expect to snatch the spirit pearls from me? I’m afraid it’s not that easy!”
“You are truly unyielding. I have seen many people like you who do not know the immensity of heaven and earth, and they all ended up dying a tragic death!” Ouyang Qingqing shook her head helplessly, feeling somewhat exasperated with Lu Fan.
However, Lu Fan did not take it seriously and instead let out a cold laugh. “Since you are so capable, then let me see what skills you truly possess!”
“Very well, since you court death, I shall fulfill your wish!”
Ouyang Qingqing said coldly, and then took a step forward, exuding a powerful aura. A faint chilling light flickered in her eyes.
Seeing the scene before him, Lu Fan did not pay it much mind. However, when he saw the strong aura emanating from Ouyang Qingqing, his brow furrowed slightly. He naturally did not expect Ouyang Qingqing to possess such spiritual power.
He could feel this kind of aura from the young master of the Tao family. Such a terrifying presence was definitely not something ordinary people could achieve.
Meanwhile, Ouyang Qingqing unleashed a stream of light, instantly forcing Lu Fan back, even making it difficult for him to resist.
“No wonder you are called the Divine Maiden of the Northern Region. I am truly enlightened today!” Lu Fan said with a frown. “Such a powerful aura is indeed something to behold.”
“You know that? Then quickly hand over the spirit pearls. You have two in your possession!” Ouyang Qingqing stated directly. “Giving up one shouldn’t be too difficult for you, right?”
