Chapter 1242 Killing with Formations
A girl's clear and crisp voice drifted softly from the carriage.
Her previous threats.
I don't remember any of the cultivators I've met once.
They didn't take it to heart.
Hearing it again now, though I felt uneasy, I managed to remain calm because of the presence of the elders.
"Pretend to be a ghost!"
Elder Chi Ye sneered, and even from a great distance, his terrifying pressure had already swept over them.
Straight to Ningruan.
However, the girl sitting atop the carriage seemed oblivious to the oppressive aura emanating from her. She slowly rose to her feet and once again called out, "Goodbye!"
The words fell.
Whether it was the bright and dazzling bead on her head or the extremely luxurious carriage beneath her feet, she put them all back into her storage ring.
next moment.
She's gone!
Right before everyone's eyes, it suddenly vanished.
And her so-called protectors behind her remained completely silent.
The reason why Chi Ye did not make a move immediately upon arrival was because he was somewhat wary of the protector who had not yet shown himself.
Who would have thought...
The protectors hadn't even shown up yet, and the target had already escaped!
"She's still here! She didn't leave!"
Holding a crimson spirit stone, the Flame Spider Clan cultivator pointed to the spot where the carriage had disappeared and suddenly shouted.
Upon hearing this, Elder Chi Ye snorted coldly, his figure transforming into a streak of crimson light as he rushed towards the spot where Ning Ruan had disappeared. "She can't escape!"
As long as the person is still alive, things will be much easier!
Seeing this, the group of Flame Spider Clan cultivators behind them dared not delay and quickly flew after them.
But the moment they moved, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed.
The boundless, dark expanse before us was no longer a place of endless darkness.
A crimson light enveloped everyone.
Immediately following was a scene of fireballs raining down, the ground cracking, and magma surging.
"This is... a fire-type formation?"
"This formation isn't very strong, let's break it together!"
A monk shouted.
The other members of the Flame Spider Clan complied without hesitation.
at the same time.
Elder Chi Ye, who was also caught in the formation but was fortunate enough to have his own exclusive formation because he was one step ahead, didn't even lift his eyelids. The scorching aura emanating from his body condensed slightly, and the fireballs that roared down melted away silently, like ice and snow meeting the sun.
With another casual wave of her hand, a condensed, almost tangible, crimson streak swept out, accurately striking the core of the formation.
"Crack!"
With a crisp cracking sound, the crimson light dissipated, the scorching heat quickly subsided, and the formation was easily broken.
"Ah!"
"Is this the only formation that the Human Race has the destiny to possess?"
Elder Chi Ye flew in mid-air, his face full of mockery.
However, all around was silent.
Not only was the human girl's voice gone, but it was also gone.
Even the figures of the clansmen who should have broken through the formation behind them were gone.
She frowned slightly, about to make a move, when several figures appeared out of thin air.
Although they were not injured, their clothes were all disheveled, indicating that the experience just now was not good.
“Elder, that guy set up more than one formation nearby. He set up many. We were separated when we encountered the second formation. I had to break through three formations before I could get out.”
"Where are the others?" Chi Ye's face was grim, clearly indicating that he had already figured something out.
The cultivator who spoke was at the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Upon hearing this, he said in a deep voice, "They should still be inside the formation. That human must be nearby, controlling the formation. Her target is not us, but other low-level cultivators!"
Although they are said to be of low rank, those who can come out to patrol are at least at the eleventh realm.
According to their estimation, that formation was actually only effective against those at the eleventh or twelfth level.
Anyone with a cultivation level of the thirteenth realm could emerge after spending a little time.
Even those at the twelfth level can forcibly break through the formation.
It just takes longer.
The problem is, there's more than one formation!
One is broken, and there's another one.
They don't even know how many there are!
"Damn it, when did she set up this formation? Did she really know we were coming?"
Another Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator cursed under his breath.
Elder Chi Ye took a deep breath. "She had already discovered the Blood Spider's trap and was simply playing along!"
However, the only thing she couldn't understand was where that protector was.
Or is it that... there are no protectors at all?
Otherwise, why would we still rely on formations and hiding at a time like this?
Why don't they dare to come out and fight head-on?
"Find the formation, save people first!"
Even Elder Chi Ye had to grit his teeth and make a decision.
"Yes!"
The cultivators who had received the instructions immediately dispersed and focused their efforts on searching for the spiritual energy fluctuations of the formation.
There are just too many formations.
After finally noticing one, they ventured into the formation on their own, only to find nothing there.
They had no choice but to forcibly break the formation and continue searching for the person.
After all this effort, by the time they found the other members of their tribe, a considerable amount of time had passed.
The consequence of the delay was that the isolated eleventh and twelfth realm cultivators suffered heavy casualties under the bombardment of one formation after another.
Those who didn't die were seriously injured.
Even several people from the thirteenth realm died.
The only thing that relieved Chi Ye was that the clansman who came to deliver the message told her that although he was also injured, at least he was still alive!
She no longer cared about anything else; if she had come before because of the so-called remnants of the Hundred Flowers Clan...
So now, it's pure hatred and anger!
"Where is she? Can we still sense her location? Is she still nearby?"
Three questions in a row, until the other person turned pale.
He handed over the crimson crystal, trembling. "It's...it's gone."
Elder Chi Ye no longer stood on ceremony, took the crystal, and said in a deep voice, "Continue the pursuit!"
"Elder, should we report this matter to the clan?" a Foundation Establishment cultivator asked hesitantly.
Elder Chi Ye's eyes were sinister as he stared intently in the direction where Ning Ruan had disappeared. His slightly aged face was now filled with frost and ruthlessness.
"report?"
"What should we report to the clan? That so many of us were slaughtered by a mere human cultivator using a bunch of formations, suffering heavy casualties without even being able to touch the hem of his clothes?"
Her gaze swept over her clansmen, some of whom were seriously injured and unconscious, while others were in a sorry state. The anger in her eyes was almost bursting out.
"Since she dared to kill my people, she should be prepared to be torn to pieces by my own hands! Whether there are protectors or not, the outcome will be the same!"
She paused, a cruel and cold smile curving her lips: "Besides, if there really was a protector, why would they let her set up the formation and maneuver alone, without showing themselves until now? The most likely explanation is that the protector is either too weak or simply not nearby!"
Regardless of the reason, there's no need to report it to the clan; it would be pointless to lose face and be ridiculed by those old folks.
Even if the other party is a Heavenly Mandate, a Heavenly Mandate with only the ninth realm of cultivation, the strongest protector behind him is only at the Golden Core stage.
She was not afraid even if it was a Nascent Soul cultivator.
As for the Nascent Soul stage and the Deity Transformation stage?
Would a powerful cultivator of this level become a protector for a ninth-realm cultivator?
