Qi Haoyuan was overjoyed.
"Who said the killing formation is ineffective?" Bai Ying's voice resounded through the heavens, her longsword pointing straight at the sky. "Today, I will show you the true power of a killing formation!"
Before she could finish speaking, the entire Lingyin Sect suddenly shook violently. Blinding blood-red light burst forth from the cracks in the ground, and thunder roared from the blood-red clouds gathering in the sky.
The scene was exactly the same as it had been three days ago; anyone who saw it would think the killing formation had been restarted.
However, no one knew better than Bai Ying that the killing formation had indeed become ineffective.
The so-called killing formation she is using now is indeed, as Bai Di said, a replica of the original killing formation.
Although this formation is powerful, it is far inferior to a true ancient killing formation and could not possibly kill so many Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
The reason she was able to kill the black-robed cultivator with a single blow was not because she used her own formation, but because she hid the dragon scales in the lightning.
Using the combined power of dragon scales and the Berserk Jade Pendant, he forcibly destroyed the black-robed cultivator's magic weapon, then pierced his heart to death. He then used a fabricated array to create the illusion that the cultivator had been drained of his life force and died.
Those actions were performed in one go, but they had already drained most of the spiritual energy from Bai Ying's body.
Qi Haoyuan thought the killing formation was still there and was happy, but then he suddenly received a telepathic message from Bai Ying.
"Elder Qi, the killing formation has failed. The current scene is a disguise created by a formation I made. I need your help!"
Qi Haoyuan's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.
"Playing tricks!" the purple-robed cultivator suddenly roared. A blinding blue light erupted from the ancient bronze mirror in his palm, and nine talismans appearing within it, like chains, aimed straight for Bai Ying's throat. "Once I break through your..."
Before the words were even finished, a scarlet crack suddenly appeared in the sky. A bolt of purple-gold lightning, as thick as a bowl and carrying the smell of burning, crashed to the ground. The ancient mirror groaned under the weight of the lightning, and the runes on its surface shattered inch by inch.
The purple-robed cultivator let out a horrific scream and staggered back three steps. Golden patterns appeared on his skin at a visible speed, growing wildly like vines, and in the blink of an eye, they enveloped his entire body, turning him into a glittering golden statue. With a crisp "crack," the golden statue exploded, turning into fine gold dust that scattered in the wind.
"Who else?" Bai Ying stood with her hands behind her back, her sleeve slipping down half an inch to reveal the eerie light of the edge of the dragon scales.
A sickly blush rose on her pale face, but a cold, disdainful smile played on her lips, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth.
However, only she knew that the spiritual energy in her dantian had long since dried up, and when she circulated her cultivation technique, her meridians felt as if they were being scorched by raging fire.
She was only holding on by sheer willpower.
"Run...run fast..." a Nascent Soul cultivator suddenly cried out in despair, "This killing formation is real!"
Fear spread like a plague. Cultivators hastily summoned their life-saving treasures, some even sacrificing their own life essence to unleash blood escape techniques. However—
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
One after another, the sounds of collisions rang out. The fleeing figures were all bounced back by the invisible barrier, some even suffering head injuries.
"How is this possible..." Bai Di collapsed to the ground, her nails digging deep into her palms.
Is her plan going to fail again?
Shouldn't that killing formation have already become ineffective?
Why is this happening?!
However, what she didn't know was that Bai Ying was already at her last gasp.
"Now that you're all here..." Bai Ying slowly grasped her left hand, the dragon scales humming in her palm, "leave them all here."
Qi Haoyuan looked anxiously at Bai Ying and transmitted his voice, "Bai Ying, now that we've intimidated them, why not just let them leave?"
Bai Ying shook her head and responded with a secret technique, "No. The previous killing formation was inescapable. If I let them escape now, they will quickly realize that the killing formation I have now is fake! Then they will counterattack, and we will have no way to deter them."
And it's not just them; many people are watching from afar. If they can't intimidate everyone, the Lingyin Sect will still be in danger!
Qi Haoyuan said, "Then what should we do? How can I help you?"
Bai Ying took out the repair jade pendant, which landed steadily in Qi Haoyuan's palm: "Elder Qi, you order everyone in the sect to input all their spiritual power into this jade pendant. I can use this jade pendant to repair my own spiritual power!"
Bai Ying wanted to rely on the violent power within the Berserk Jade Pendant to control the dragon scales, and use eight times her own power to defeat those Nascent Soul stage experts one by one.
Just like when she killed those two Nascent Soul stage cultivators!
The moment Qi Haoyuan received the jade pendant, a warm sensation spread through his palm.
However, he looked at Bai Ying with great concern. He had already guessed that Bai Ying was probably going to use a secret technique to enhance her strength, but no matter what kind of secret technique she used, this behavior would be extremely harmful to her.
"No. I don't know what kind of secret technique you're using, but constantly using it, draining your spiritual energy and then replenishing it, will completely burst your meridians!"
"It's too late! Hurry!"
Helpless, Qi Haoyuan could only first channel his spiritual power into the repair jade pendant. The jade pendant, filled with this powerful spiritual energy, instantly transferred all its restorative power to Bai Ying.
Then he transmitted his voice to all the disciples present, instructing them to channel all their spiritual power into the jade pendant, just as he had done.
Bai Ying's hair danced wildly under the violent spiritual pressure, each strand of her hair wrapped with tiny golden sparks.
The vortex of spiritual energy within her dantian spun wildly, almost self-destructively squeezing out every last drop of spiritual power. The berserk jade pendant emitted a blinding blood-red light within her consciousness.
