BXBX NOVEL Chapter 99: The Seventh-Order Formation is
Translator: 549690339 |
Half a month later.
Zhou Sui, Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyi, and Xia Jingyan were still cultivating in the underground shelter, leading a very regular life.
Even though their lives were confined to the underground shelter, with no one to disturb them and plenty of provisions, life was quite comfortable.
Of course, after advancing to the eighth layer of Qi cultivation, Zhou Sui’s cultivation progress had slowed somewhat.
But even so, he devoted himself to hard cultivation every day without slackening.
Boom—
Just then, a sudden, intense shaking transmitted from the earth, so intense that even Zhou Sui and the others underground could feel it.
The Spirit Vein deep in the earth began to tremble, buzzing ominously.
“What’s happening?”
“An earthquake? Could there be an earthquake?”
Suddenly, Ji Bingyu and the others woke from their cultivation with a start, filled with doubts, not knowing what had occurred.
All their eyes turned simultaneously to Zhou Sui.
“No way, the second-order Silver Moon Formation of Misty Cloud City has
been broken.”
Zhou Sui’s eyes went wide.
He immediately received a message from his clone that while he was cultivating, spies from the Ghost Demon Sect had infiltrated the city’s guard patrol.
Despite being poisoned, all these spies were death warriors, entirely unconcerned for their own lives.
These Ghost Demon Sect spies had rushed into one of the formation nodes and caused major destruction.
As a result, the second-order Silver Moon Formation became unstable in an instant.
If the cultivators of the Immortal Mist Sect were given the chance, they may have been able to repair the formation.
However, after receiving news, the Ghost Demon Sect cultivators immediately took action, with six foundation-building Demon Cultivators launching simultaneous attacks.
The entire second-order formation was instantly broken and totally collapsed. The impregnable barrier that had held back the Ghost Demon Sect was shattered in an instant.
The armies of the Ghost Demon Sect then charged directly into the city, an overwhelming force.
The long-suffering Misty Cloud City, after more than two years, could finally resist no longer.
At this moment, a huge chaos swept through Misty Cloud City.
No one could have expected that the second-order formation of Misty Cloud City would be broken at this time; no one had been prepared for this.
The city was thrown into a great panic with cultivators at a loss for what to do.
“Ha, ha, it’s broken, it’s broken! Finally, the tough shell of Misty Cloud City is broken.”
“After sieging it for more than two years, I want to see where the Immortal
Mist Sect can run now.”
“Kill them all, rob them all! The elder ordered, whoever gets there first gets the
spoils. We are to sack the city for three days.”
“First go to the Lu family’s mansion, it’s the richest place.”
■■Kill the cultivators of Immortal Mist Sect! They’re elite cultivators from the
sect, the fattest lambs.”
“Spirit Stones, pills, spiritual medicines, they’re all mine! Don’t try to snatch them from me.”
The multitude of cultivators from the Ghost Demon Sect laughed gleefully, their excitement apparent, looking fierce.
Seeing the many cultivators within Misty Cloud City, their eyes flashed red, as
if they were looking at a herd of fat sheep.
For them, now was the time to harvest. They could make a huge fortune.
Opportunities like this were very rare indeed.
“It’S all over, it’s completely over. The cultivators of the Ghost Demon Sect have charged in.”
“Damn Ghost Demon Sect, they actually planted spies inside to destroy our formation.”
“I told you not to draft brawny men indiscriminately, now see, so many spies infiltrated, they’ve doomed us.”
-Who knew these spies wouldn’t fear death, preferring to die than to destroy
the formation? These demon cultivators are simply mad.”
“They’re all dead men of the Ghost Demon Sect, tortured until their emotions are gone. Naturally, they don’t fear death. This time we’re completely done for.” “Didn’t expect these demon cultivators to be so ruthless; they’re simply not human.”
“Escape, whoever can. Every saved life counts.
Many cultivators from the Immortal Mist Sect and the Lu family were in utter despair, their faces as grey as death.
If a second-stage formation was still in place, these Ghost Demon Sect cultivators wouldn’t be able to enter the city.
But now, having lost the protection of the formation, they were defenseless,
just like a city without its gate.
These demon cultivators could enter and leave at will.
No one could stop them.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!
In an instant, they fled in panic, with none of the previous arrogance. They were like rats scurrying across the streets, wishing their parents had given birth to them with additional legs.
Regrettably, the Ghost Demon Sect cultivators had set their sights on the Immortal Mist Sect cultivators right from the start, launching attacks the moment they could.
The intense battle began in an instant.
Talismans were launched, skills clashed, and magic artifacts collided.
The whole of Misty Cloud City was filled with intense fighting.
“Ghost Demon Sect cultivators, all of you will die at my hands!”
At that moment, a roar erupted from the center of the city, echoing throughout the entire city, creating ripples of sound that left countless people with stinging eardrums.
An intimidating figure shot into the sky, charging towards the six Ghost
Demon Sect’s foundation-building cultivators.
It was no other than the ancestral patriarch of the Lu family, Lu Hongran. He was fearless, like a man who has accepted his fate, his body emanating a terrifying aura.
The surrounding spiritual energy of nature started to stir, forming a dreadful wave of energy, just like a storm sweeping by.
All cultivators felt this frightening aura and power.
Wherever it went, it destroyed everything in its path.
“Damn it, he’s using the Burning Blood skill, which multiplies his mana temporarily but quickly consumes his vitality and lifespan. Has this old geezer Lu gone mad?”
-He isn’t mad, but trying to drag us down with him. His lifespan is nearing its
end anyway. Even if he doesn’t die now, he will in a few months’ time.” “Damn you, Lu, you’re taking us with you because you want to die. Quit dreaming.”
“Retreat, retreat immediately. Don’t confront him head-on. When his vitality exhausts, old Lu will naturally fall dead.
“Accursed old Lu, don’t think that you can resolve everything by dying. You still have descendants in the Lu family. Even if you die, our Ghost Demon Sect will exterminate them all.”
The foundation-building demon cultivators were both frightened and furious. They didn’t expect Lu Hongran to be so ruthless, willing to take them down with him even at the cost of his own life.
They were in their prime and might have a sliver of hope to become Golden Core Cultivators.
They didn’t want to perish with Lu.
Although they were demon cultivators, ruthless and hard-hearted, they
weren’t fools. No one would go for a losing deal.
Boom, Boom, Boom—
At that moment, they collided, causing an earth-shattering explosion akin to dozens of missiles detonating.
Surrounding houses were instantly blown to Tsmithereens, turning everything in the vicinity into dust.
A massive cavity appeared in the land, hundreds of meters deep, with shards of rock scattering everywhere and smoke billowing.
“This!”
Zhou Sui, who was hiding in an underground shelter, immediately noticed that one of his clones hidden nearby was utterly destroyed by this power, and the remote messages also abruptly cut off.
He no longer had any sense of how the subsequent battle between the foundation-building cultivators would turn out.
“This is horrifying. Is this the power of a foundation-building cultivator? A wave of its residual power instantly destroyed one of my clones.” Zhou Sui felt chills run down his spine.
He finally understood why the status of foundation-building cultivators was held in such high esteem.
A single foundation-building cultivator could lay the foundation for a hundred-year-old cultivator family.
It was because the combat power of a foundation-building cultivator was terrifying, akin to a human missile. The strength they could unleash in each movement was beyond human imagination.
A powerful foundation-building cultivator could easily annihilate a mortal kingdom.
Fortunately, his Clone Gu could cultivate a new clone in no time, or this would have been a severe loss since he was merely a spectator in this battle..
