EBE Chapter 434 Master, shall we pursue them?
Chapter 434 Master, shall we pursue them?
Xu Youan, on the other hand, focused his spiritual energy on protecting his senior sister, fearing that she might get hurt while trying to save others.
My senior sister would always risk her life for others.
He knows best.
The two of them joined forces and, facing numerous experts, were not at a disadvantage. In fact, they even showed signs of overwhelming them, which surprised the guards and those hiding behind them.
Especially the guards who faced them head-on. Although they were clearly superior in cultivation, the two of them moved with such precision that it was as if they had condensed the essence of heaven and earth, making them so perfect that they had nowhere to attack.
If it weren't for their superior cultivation, they would probably have been defeated by them long ago.
The person hiding in the shadows watched with great interest, when suddenly someone reminded him not to go too far and ruin the black market's reputation. The old man wouldn't tolerate that.
He sighed with some regret and then issued another order: kill without mercy, leave no survivors.
Upon receiving the command, the guards instantly changed their previous offensive and defensive tactics. The Nascent Soul stage guards took the lead as the core of the formation, while the Core Formation stage guards followed behind as the flags for the change, forming a formation that firmly trapped Jiang Liqian and Xu Youan inside.
The enormous yellow array plate instantly transformed into countless iron chains that attacked the two of them, while the ground beneath their feet turned into quicksand that caused chaos. This was because the person who formed the array was more powerful than them, and naturally exerted immense pressure on them, controlling their movements.
Jiang Liqian and Xu Youan frantically absorbed spiritual energy from the outside world, resisting the pressure while staying on the ground, and fighting against the iron chains in mid-air.
Despite the dire situation, the guards spared no effort, advancing wave after wave to join the formation and kill them.
Those outside the formation were completely bewildered.
It turns out that the guards here have such a terrifying killing formation. Not to mention Nascent Soul cultivators of the same level as them, even cultivators in the Void Returning stage might not be able to leave here unscathed.
No wonder such a black market has been able to occupy this place so openly for nearly a thousand years.
But what baffled them even more was that, despite the terrifying killing formation, the two children were not killed immediately. Instead, they were able to hold on and confront the killing formation.
"What a rare genius! It's a pity he's not mature enough and won't last long. He's destined to perish here. What a pity!" A passerby who had figured it out shook his head and sighed.
It is said that heroes emerge from among the young, but young people are often impulsive and headstrong, and even those with exceptional talent cannot escape an early demise.
Just as the passerby said, Jiang Liqian was really gritting her teeth and holding on, and so was Xu Youan.
Both of them were covered in wounds, large and small, and their clothes were stained red. The smell of blood kept rising in their throats, but they suppressed it.
In order to protect Jiang Liqian, Xu Youan was more seriously injured and hovered on the verge of death several times.
The difference in cultivation levels between the two sides was too great, and the other side had more people, so they had no advantage at all.
The situation was becoming increasingly critical. Xu You'an's eyes darkened, and he placed one hand on the black ring, preparing to use the power of the person inside the ring to kill all these people with forbidden techniques and escape with his senior sister.
Before he could make a move, he saw his senior sister whirl and land beside him, quickly saying, "Junior brother, you are familiar with formations, so you must know where the weakness of this formation is. I will hold back the formation for you, and you find a way to break it. After that, I will clear the way for you. Don't look back, rush out, and I will be there soon."
Xu Youan's expression changed.
"Senior sister!"
Jiang Liqian used the Spirit-Suppressing Pearl to knock away another iron chain. Without turning her head, she commanded him in an extremely serious voice, "Since Master and Senior Brothers and Sisters aren't here, you have to listen to me! Stop talking nonsense and do as I say. I won't go back on my word!"
Xu Youan would rather die here with her than listen to her even if he had a hundred or a thousand reasons!
But he despairingly discovered that no matter how unwilling he was, he was unwilling to disobey her.
He believed her.
He had to believe her; he could only believe her.
Even more tragically, he knew in his heart that they were both trapped here, and he had no way out except to use forbidden techniques. But once he used forbidden techniques, he and his senior sister...
Now is not the time!
Xu You'an's eyes darkened sharply, and she clenched her fists tightly, her lips trembling: "No...don't lie to me, Senior Sister, please don't lie to me..."
With a flick of her whip, Jiang Liqian deflected the black-robed man's attack, turned around, and revealed a slightly pale smile: "Of course."
Xu Youan gritted his teeth, and without further delay, prepared to break the formation.
Seeing this, Jiang Liqian circulated all her spiritual power and withstood ninety percent of the attack.
Xu Youan's hands formed hand seals so quickly that others couldn't even see the speed at which he did so. As he unleashed one array seal after another, killing intent filled the air, and the terrifying killing array began to tremble violently. Even the guards who were forming the array looked grim.
They attacked the two inside the formation even more fiercely, trying to stop Xu You'an, but they were unable to break through Jiang Liqian's defenses.
With a slight "crack," the killing formation shattered like a mirror, and the residual force of the shockwave swept across the surrounding buildings, instantly creating cracks on them.
"Go!" A blur appeared silently in Jiang Liqian's hand. Taking advantage of the broken formation and the unstable spiritual power of those people, she slashed down with her sword from above, opening a gap to break through the encirclement.
Xu Youan didn't dare to hesitate and rushed out quickly.
Seeing that her junior brother had left, Jiang Liqian tightened the belt around her waist, making sure the person on her back was safe and sound, and then her eyes turned completely cold.
She gripped the afterimage tightly in her hand. Although her skirt was covered in blood, she exuded a dignified and imposing aura that sent chills down one's spine.
It seems she wasn't facing an inevitable death.
It is an inconspicuous "hurdle" that we must inevitably overcome.
Who is she?
This was the first question on the guards' minds.
Is she actually a sword cultivator?
This was the second question on the guards' minds.
Why is there only a faint, indistinct shadow of her sword?
This was the third question on the guards' minds.
But these questions in their hearts are destined to remain unanswered.
The guards only saw the girl raise her hand and draw her sword horizontally, then dark clouds gathered, thunder roared, and countless purple lightning bolts burst forth from the clouds like roaring blue dragons, rushing towards them.
"boom--!"
Dust billowed, only to be swept away by a man's sleeve. He looked indifferently at the heavily wounded guards on the ground and coldly uttered two words: "Useless."
If that girl weren't only at the Golden Core stage and unable to unleash even a tenth of the power of her sword intent, all of these people would have died by her sword.
We spent so much money, and all we got was a bunch of useless people!
The lead guard, who was the most skilled and least injured, endured his master's scolding and knelt down to ask, "Master, shall we pursue them?"
