The men frowned instantly. "Do you think you can trap us with just the formation you've set up?"

One person suddenly exerted their strength, attempting to destroy the great formation.

So what if I can't move?

They are Nascent Soul stage cultivators; they could destroy this formation with their spiritual power alone!

The cultivator took a deep breath, concentrating all the spiritual energy within his body into his mouth like rivers flowing into the sea. Suddenly, he opened his mouth wide, his cheeks puffed out, and a condensed, almost tangible stream of spiritual energy shot out like an arrow. The energy sliced ​​through the air with a sharp whistling sound, heading straight towards Bai Ying's location.

Its speed was so fast that it seemed to be able to pierce through the void, and wherever it passed, space seemed to be slightly distorted, rippling with visible waves.

But to everyone's surprise, at this critical moment, the spiritual energy mysteriously disappeared without warning.

Everyone stared in astonishment, searching around for the whereabouts of the spiritual energy.

In an instant, a blinding light suddenly appeared not far away. This spiritual energy had crossed a distance and suddenly appeared in front of another Nascent Soul cultivator.

The Nascent Soul cultivator felt an immense pressure descend upon him like Mount Tai pressing down on him. His body seemed to be imprisoned in place. No matter how he struggled and tried to mobilize his spiritual power to resist, he couldn't even move a finger. He could only watch helplessly as the spiritual power, carrying a world-destroying aura, shot straight at him like a deadly lightning bolt!

"Boom!" A loud bang, like a great bell, resounded through the heavens and earth, making everyone present feel a pain in their eardrums.

The spiritual energy thus penetrated the body of the Nascent Soul cultivator!

A shrill scream rang out instantly. The cultivator who had just been clamoring to kill Bai Ying and the others was killed by his own companion!

The faces of those Nascent Soul cultivators turned pale instantly; they had just sensed that the formation was set up with extraordinary ingenuity.

But they didn't expect it to be able to change the direction of the attack!

In this way, no matter how they launch an attack, they will end up attacking themselves!

These Nascent Soul cultivators no longer dared to act rashly.

However, the grand formation began to operate on its own without warning. Within the formation, light crisscrossed and runes flickered and moved. The space within the formation began to twist and deform rapidly, forming huge vortexes, like gaping maws ready to devour their prey.

As the grand formation was activated, a powerful force capable of crushing everything surged forth, as if an invisible yet deadly giant meat grinder was relentlessly operating.

Wherever that force passed, the air was instantly torn apart, emitting a sharp, piercing whistling sound, as if countless wronged souls were wailing in agony. The boulders on the ground were easily pulverized like fragile tofu, raising clouds of dust.

These Nascent Soul cultivators were caught in that force. To their horror, they discovered that their bodies were completely unable to resist this powerful tearing force; their limbs seemed to be tightly gripped by countless invisible hands, being violently pulled in different directions.

Some cultivators' bodies were instantly stretched and deformed, their bones making a crisp cracking sound, their muscles and meridians breaking apart inch by inch like rotten ropes; others were squeezed by powerful forces, their internal organs in their chest cavity being struck as if by a heavy hammer, and mouthfuls of blood gushing from their mouths like fountains; still others were directly swept into the center of the vortex, their bodies constantly colliding and rubbing against the surrounding energy as they spun at high speed, their skin being peeled away bit by bit, revealing their stark white bones.

"ah!"

The cultivators were instantly gripped by fear, and they screamed in terror, their voices filled with despair and helplessness.

Their eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets as they stared intently at the demonic, menacing array. They couldn't believe that this seemingly ordinary array actually contained such terrifying power.

"We were wrong, please let us go!" they screamed wildly in extreme pain, their voices hoarse and rough from the tearing of their throats. The will to survive drove them to struggle desperately, trying to escape from the impenetrable barrier of the great formation.

However, it was all in vain. They were tightly bound by that merciless force, every inch of their skin enduring excruciating pain akin to being slowly sliced ​​apart. Their bodies were gradually pulled uncontrollably toward the core of the great formation, the surrounding light cutting into their flesh like sharp blades.

The bones cracked and popped under immense pressure, a chilling sound like a countdown to death. Their bodies gradually deformed and twisted until they were reduced to a pool of indistinct, bloody flesh. Their souls were utterly annihilated in this endless agony, leaving only a deathly silence and the stench of blood in the once bustling space.

Yan Chiling took the magical artifacts of these Nascent Soul stage cultivators into his pocket and divided them in half with Bai Ying.

It was only at this moment that he remembered Ruan Xinrou, whose mouth was still sealed by Bai Ying, and then he helped her unseal her mouth.

Ruan Xinrou's face was extremely pale, but she didn't know how to blame Bai Ying.

After all, she hadn't expected the formation set up by Bai Ying and Yan Chiling to be so powerful! It made her, who had just been shouting and yelling, look like a clown!

She could only look at Yan Chiling with tears in her eyes, hoping to evoke his heartache and make him hate Bai Ying.

But Yan Chiling didn't notice her at all; instead, his eyes were fixed on Bai Ying.

I was completely stunned.

Yan Chiling and Bai Ying had worked together very well. Without Bai Ying, he wouldn't have been able to set up that great formation on his own.

Only someone like Bai Ying, who has such a thorough understanding of formations, could bring formations to such a terrifying level.

This exhilarating joy made Yan Chiling's heart pound wildly from the very beginning.

He even somewhat wished that the great battle would end so quickly.

He really enjoyed the feeling of fighting alongside Bai Ying.

An indescribable emotion slowly welled up in Yan Chiling's heart, like suddenly eating a bite of ice on a hot summer day.

I was absolutely happy to the core.

When Ruan Xinrou saw the expression on Yan Chiling's face, she was stunned. Yan Chiling's focus on Bai Ying had exceeded her expectations.

No!

She almost wanted to scream out loud.

She would never allow Yan Chiling to fall in love with Bai Ying again!

She had to go to the treasure trove immediately and make Bai Ying die quickly!
