Chapter 133 Seizing the Command Flag: A Variety of Tactics
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye, and fewer and fewer people could remain calm.
As various magical artifacts and spiritual energy appeared, the array flags floating above were transferred to several people in just a few breaths.
The white-robed cultivator had just swung his nine-section whip at the command flag when the tip froze into ice upon touching the flag. "A mere early-stage Golden Core cultivator dares to be so presumptuous here!" The barefoot old man sneered, wielding his spiritual energy, and sent the white-robed cultivator flying.
He slammed his fist into the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Knowing that he was no match for the opponent, he could only crush the bell in resentment and instantly retreat from the formation.
The battle flag was in the old man's hands in the blink of an eye. Before the old man could even get a firm grip on it, a playful voice rang out from above him, "Don't hide good things, let's take a look together." The young man in the green robe grinned, revealing two tiger teeth. The moment the old man looked up, the jade-scaled snake in his sleeve had already bitten the old man's neck.
He snatched the array flag and put it into his Qiankun bag. The gilded bell on his body immediately emitted Daoist light. The man in the green robe froze, cursed angrily, and turned to run away.
The formation they were in was the Moonlit Formation within the Seven Luminaries Formation, with no cover except for scattered boulders. Just as he frowned in anxiety, a hand suddenly reached out from behind a boulder and waved at him.
The man in the green robe's eyes sharpened, and then a red-clad female cultivator with almond-shaped eyes poked her head out from behind and said enthusiastically, "Get out of here!"
"Ha, a trick I've played before." The man stopped, gripped the array flag tightly, and changed direction. At the same time, a large net woven from vines slammed down on him. "Rebirth of the Breath of Earth, rise!"
"I knew you wouldn't stop!" Huali snatched the flag and took over the race.
There are ten minutes left until the end of the first round. If we can hold onto the flag, we'll win this round.
The group that had been chasing the man in the blue robe all changed their target and chased after Huali.
One of the sound cultivators leaped into the air, his fingertips tracing a line on the black jade pipa in his arms. The sounds of killing condensed into countless transparent blades and halberds, and a gale swept towards Huali.
Ao Bai grimaced at the jarring melody. "Usually in these kinds of plots, the protagonist can sing a catchy, brainwashing song to counter him. Host, you'd better think of one!"
Hua Li turned and retreated three steps, her regenerated energy clashing with the blade and halberd as she roared, "I told you to stop reading novels! They use spiritual power, I only have one mouth, how could I possibly fight them with a simple sword strike!"
She suppressed her headache, her almond-shaped eyes blazing with fury, "Might makes right!"
The earth-elemental Kassadin broke through the rock layer, and the rock dragon's tail swung directly and knocked the sound cultivator in mid-air away with a "smack"!
Now that she has activated the fire-type card, she is considered one of the most powerful figures in this formation.
But to be fair, this flag was indeed difficult to defend, and the attacks were almost constant.
In just five minutes, Huali was already panting heavily. She looked down at the command flag in her hand, her eyes darting around.
This flag will glow as soon as it is hidden in the Qiankun Bag, but if it is not hidden and is held in hand, it becomes a live target.
If it doesn't work with magic weapons, then perhaps...

The twelve water mirrors in the square were simultaneously displaying images from different areas of the Seven Luminaries Array. The most viewers were for the Sun Array where Feng Ningning was located, followed by the Water Array where the puppet Dao Chenyi was located, and finally the Moon Array where Huali was located.
In the Sun Formation, Feng Ningning, together with four other rogue cultivators, dealt with all potential dangers at once, and the four of them obtained seven flags.
Wearing a skull mask, Chen Yi single-handedly took on half of the cultivators in the formation, forcing the others to give up trying to snatch the flags from him and instead fight for the remaining five.
The first two were full of passion, but the style suddenly changed when it came to the Moon Radiance Formation.
The girl in red in the water mirror seemed to be riding on wheels of fire. She summoned a rock dragon to repel the people behind her. At the same time, she seemed to have thought of something and took the command flag off her hand with her bare hands.
This series of violent actions instantly captured the audience's attention.
The girl in red gathered the flag into a ball, stretched it behind her without turning her head, and the cat on her shoulder immediately opened its mouth and took it in.
"I thought she might come up with some good ideas," a sigh came from the audience.
"Just now, someone in the Fire Array hid the flag in the mouth of their companion beast, but the bell still rang, and they were forced to spit it out."
Just as everyone was waiting for the girl to fail, something miraculous happened.
After the long-haired cat put the flag in its mouth, the bell at her waist didn't react at all.
The two people who had been sighing earlier were stunned. "What's going on?"
Seeing that the plan had succeeded, Huali's eyes lit up. The connection between the gilded bell and the command flag was triggered by the wearer; as long as one tried to hide, the spiritual power within the bell could be activated no matter where it was concealed.
Since spirit beasts share the same origin as their masters, they are naturally no exception.
But Ao Bai is different; he is a system, and putting him into his mouth is equivalent to severing ties with this place.
The rules only stated that she needed to have a flag in her hand at the end; they didn't specify that it had to be a flag with a pole. She just needed to take it out of Ao Bai's mouth in the last few breaths. Perfect!
Karin looked around. Apart from the flag in her hand, the other five flags were still rotating in mid-air.
The gilded bells on her body are not shining right now; the most dangerous place is the safest place.
Without saying a word, Huali turned and ran back.
A burly body cultivator rushed out from the side and caught up, about to reach out to grab Huali, but the girl turned around first and said fiercely, "Hand over the command flag!"
The burly body cultivator was taken aback. "?"
Before he could reply, the girl scoffed, "Why don't you have any?" Huali gestured with her chin, "Let's go! Let's go rob some!"
Ti Xiu glanced at Hua Li's small arms and legs, a look of disdain flashing in his eyes, and immediately abandoned her and ran forward.
The girl in red behind him widened her lips and extended a finger to high-five the evil cat's front paw on his shoulder.
"Wuhu~"
Both a person and a cat simultaneously displayed a smug, triumphant grin.
A smile flashed in Lian Zhuo's eyes beneath the water mirror, his gentle gaze fixed on the figure of the girl in red reflected in the mirror.
"Amitabha."

A deep voice rang out again from within the ranks, "Ten breaths remain in the match."
Huali's eyes lit up; this was a sure thing!
As soon as the voice fell, the black-robed man, who had been staying at the edge of the crowd since entering the formation, raised his head and quickly formed hand seals.
The moment he completed his hand seals, everyone realized that he had set up an array at each of the four corners where they were. Hundreds of blood arrows were launched simultaneously!
The people who were originally trying to capture the flag were all hit by the virus, and the entire team was wiped out in a second.
Huali was stunned by this move!
"Nine……"
"eight……"
As Ao Bai counted down, the other side gathered up the five flags and looked in this direction with a gloomy gaze.
Instantly realizing the enemy's intention to wipe them out, Huali shouted without hesitation to the equally stunned body cultivator beside her, "Hey! Brother, your flag!"
Upon hearing the sensitive word, the moment the body cultivator turned around, a bare stick was immediately inserted into his hand.
Bye-bye~
He only had time to see the girl grin at him before he was blasted away by spiritual energy.
"two……"
"one……"
The man in black, realizing he had been tricked, looked up to find that Huali had already successfully pulled out the array flag.
Below the water mirror, Bifang, who was secretly complaining to the Demon King, suddenly heard a soft laugh.
Bifang: "?"
Luo Chuan rested his chin on his hand. "What a lovely little girl, isn't she?"
Bi Fang was taken aback, then nodded subconsciously.
The Demon King glanced over casually, "Oh?"
Bi Fang was shocked and immediately shook his head, "No, no, no..."
"Hmm? Am I wrong?"
Bifang: "..." Where's Tuowu? Come find him and have another fight!
Tuowu was complaining to Xiwu, and when he got excited, he slapped his thigh.
Xiwu: "..." silently moved her leg away.
Tuowu, who was quite adept at performing his monologue, hunched over with his mountain-like body looking aggrieved. Suddenly, he sighed, "I might be possessed too. Just now, when I passed by the Water Mirror, I saw a cat that looked remarkably like Ao Bai..."
Xi Wu, who had been silent until now, suddenly looked up. "Where?"
