Chapter 1783: Chapter 1810: Kill Him
“The Formation has been tampered with?”
Liu Yun felt a surge of foreboding.
Taking out a jade pendant, he threw it outside the Formation. The moment it crossed the boundary, the jade turned to ash and vanished.
It was exactly as Li Xiaobai had said; the Formation had been altered!
He could only control the operation of the Formation; the full power of this ancient Slaughter Formation was concentrated at the periphery, turning it from a Slaughter Formation into a Trap Formation. Most importantly, he had trapped himself inside!
“It’s true!”
“This guy’s Slaughter Formation has malfunctioned!”
“You bastard, trying to catch us all in one net. Don’t think this is over. Not only will you die here today, but when we get out, your family will pay a terrible price.”
The cultivators glared angrily, with many boldly moving about in the Formation. Finding no danger, they all revealed ferocious grins towards Liu Yun.
“Stop, all of you stop! Do you really believe this guy’s nonsense?”
“Today’s Formation was long in planning by the Liu Family. Whoever disobeys, I will immediately reduce them to ashes. If you submit your gains right now, you might still preserve your lives!”
Liu Yun, with an authoritative demeanor, shouted.
At this point, he had no retreat and could only intimidate everyone with his presence. If he could just scare this group of cultivators, he could buy time to escape through the Gate of Life.
“Such deep planning, Liu Yun. Since you control this Formation, why don’t you reduce me to ashes?”
A skeptical cultivator stepped forward and spoke loudly.
“Good, very good, strike the head of dissent. Since you’re seeking death, Liu shall today make an example of you!”
“Stand still, don’t move, and wait for Liu to use the Formation to execute you!”
Liu Yun, hands behind his back, walked leisurely within the Formation. He appeared calm, but internally he was panicking, subtly inching towards the Gate of Life.
The cultivators watched him intently, wary and prepared for anything.
Yet after waiting a while, nothing happened. Liu Yun just kept wandering inside the Formation, occasionally gesturing to intimidate them.
Finally, someone noticed something amiss: “Damn it, is this guy just bluffing us?”
“His steps, though erratic, seem directed towards a certain place. He’s trying to sneak out through the Gate of Life!”
“Kill him!”
A terrifying aura surged, the ground cracked, sand flew and stones scattered as over a hundred disciples simultaneously charged towards Liu Yun’s path.
Liu Yun’s face changed, and his figure retreated violently. His little scheme was discovered, and the location of the Gate of Life was exposed.
He retreated to the center of the Formation, while the rest stopped chasing him, all rushing towards the Gate of Life instead. They realized that escaping was more important than dealing with Liu Yun, as it would allow them to handle any changes from outside the Formation.
However, the moment the foremost cultivator touched the Gate of Life, their body inexplicably shattered into a mass of flesh and blood.
The cries of battle abruptly ceased, and the Formation fell into an eerie silence.
“That’s not the Gate of Life. We’ve been tricked. Damn it, where’s Liu Yun? Facing death, he still set us up!”
“We must kill him!”
Seeing the enraged crowd, Liu Yun was also bewildered. The location of the Gate of Life was correct, and the cultivator whose body shattered indeed stepped into the Gate, yet still couldn’t escape death.
Could it be… even the Gate of Life was covered by an imperial killing intent?
Has this entire Formation been completely transformed into a Trap Formation?
Liu Yun’s eyes unconsciously strayed to Li Xiaobai and Ye Wushuang. Who exactly were these people? The Formation was given to him by the upper echelons of his family, yet it was completely altered without his knowledge.
Li Xiaobai and the other three rose and walked towards the spatial vortex.
“Brother Liu, harming others ultimately harms oneself. In your next life, don’t step into the Cultivation World.”
Li Xiaobai said with a cheerful smile.
“Once the controller of the Formation is dead, the Trap Formation will dissolve, and this girl’s companion can come out too. It’s a win-win situation.”
“No need to worry, let’s get out first.”
Yu Huan Shui said.
The speed at which this group left depended on how fast they could eliminate Liu Yun. Who knows how long this genius of the Liu Family can withstand their onslaught?
“No, no, no, you can’t do this. This is Li Xiaobai’s scheme! They secretly altered the Formation!”
“That’s why we’re trapped here. You can’t kill me!”
Liu Yun, hysterical with fear of death, went mad, frantically summoning all his Magic Treasures to shield himself like a turtle shell, trying to resist the cultivators’ cultivation techniques.
“Thanks to this Brother Li, otherwise we’d be dead beneath your Formation right now!”
“Evil deeds bring their own downfall. No need for more words; kill him and we’ll go out to settle scores with the Liu Family!”
The cultivators gave Liu Yun no chance to breathe. Waves and waves of attacks swept over him like a tempest, shattering his Magic Treasures. Liu Yun’s life was quickly extinguishing, eventually perishing amidst deafening cries of battle.
And the instigator of all this was already patting their backside and leaving, arriving at the other end of the spatial passage.
Inside the basement of the Clan of the Heavenly Gods.
Li Xiaobai and the other three emerged. Above was a staircase with light at the end, and one could vaguely see a crowd bustling.
Today was the day the Ancient Battlefield reopened, a matter of life and death for their disciples. The clan’s high-ranking members gathered, watching the bottom of the staircase intently.
“They’ve come out, they’ve come out! The first ones are four people, and that must be Ruo Ying, as expected of the clan’s prodigy, returning unharmed!”
“And the one beside her is Young Master Li. The child is clever, knowing who to collaborate with to maximize benefits. But who are the other two?”
“By the way, where are the other disciples of our clan?”
The clan elders above were full of discussions, with a stomach full of questions about their disciples’ journey to the Ancient Battlefield.
Like which geniuses perished, which families had no successors; acquiring this information would allow them to strategize suppression.
Amidst the crowd, two beams of sharp light pierced through. The confident elders stepped aside, revealing the figure of a young man.
“Little Junior Brother has come out, and he brought back Second Senior Sister!”
“I knew he wouldn’t fail. It was worth the few days of agonizing over whether to risk the collapse of the Ancient Battlefield and personally visit the Netherworld!”
Ye Wushuang raised his eyes to look upward: “It’s Fourth Junior Brother, still the same as back then.”
The four of them gradually walked out of the basement, with clan elders surrounding them with concern.
“Ruo Ying, how were your gains this time? What about the other disciples? Why didn’t they come back with you?”
Wang Ruoying bowed in respect: “Uncles and elders, Ruo Ying was just about to report this. The Liu Family’s genius, Liu Yun, set up a Slaughter Formation in front of the spatial passage, intending to entrap and kill all the disciples entering the Ancient Battlefield. My group luckily escaped, but the others are battling Liu Yun to the death within the Formation!”
“What, Liu Yun is ambushing our disciples?”
“The Liu Family is daring indeed!”
