"How's it going, Truman? Have you found a solution?"
Hua Yingwen kept asking questions.
"not yet."
Truman gave a wry smile: "This is the third time you've asked this in ten minutes."
Truman sat on the ground with a notebook on his lap, and was writing something rapidly with a pen in his hand.
Hua Yingwen stood behind him.
He wrote down a bunch of formulas and drew a bunch of diagrams in his notebook, so complicated that she couldn't understand them at all.
Meng Feifei sighed softly and said, "Alright, stop bothering the Chu Clan. Breaking a formation isn't easy, and the Chu Clan isn't a Taoist. It's already difficult for them to break formations, and you keep interrupting their train of thought..."
Hua Yingwen glared at him: "Isn't it because I'm anxious? Lin Nai is obviously using this formation to trap us here and delay us so he can escape into the inner city. It's been so long already, how can I not be anxious?"
Meng Feifei pouted: "But what's the use of being anxious? Do you think being anxious will open this formation?"
Hua Yingwen: "You..."
As Truman continued his work, he said softly, "In fact, even if I were a Taoist, it wouldn't be so easy to break the formation. The Four Symbols Mind-Controlling Formation is a unique formation created by Cha Yizhou, the current head of the Taoist school. It is completely different from the previous Taoist formations. It combines the principles of the Four Symbols, Five Elements, Eight Trigrams, and the Twenty-Four Solar Terms. It is a huge project to calculate every change."
Hua Yingwen asked, "How much longer?"
Truman: "Give me ten more minutes."
Hua Lingze said, "In fact, we don't need to be too anxious. There is a barrier outside the inner city wall, which was built by the power of the evil god. It is not so easy to break."
Yu Yuanyuan said, "Alright, Yingwen, stop bothering Chu Men."
"This formation not only traps people, but also creates powerful seasonal disasters, such as super-sized tornadoes, blizzards hundreds of meters high, and sandstorms."
"Within the formation, there is a deadly danger at every turn."
“Linnai is no ordinary cunning man. We must be careful not to fall into his trap. Let Truman do his calculations. You come and help keep watch.”
Hua Yingwen pursed her lips: "Okay..."
At that moment, Tong Yi seemed to suddenly sense something: "They're here! It looks like there are enemies to the due south!"
Upon hearing this, the others immediately became alert.
The monkey asked, "How many enemies are there? Are they undead creatures summoned by Linnaeus?"
Tong Yi closed her eyes and sensed it, her brows furrowing slightly: "It seems... no... it seems to be Lin Nai herself!"
"Oh?" Hua Lingze raised an eyebrow: "Lin Nai herself?"
They all originally thought that Linnai set up this formation here to trap them and then find an opportunity to break through the barrier and enter the city.
But he's still here?
Mu Xun gripped his longsword, his gaze hardening as he stared directly at the woods ahead: "They're here."
A thick fog rose in the woods, turning the forest a blood-red color, which looked quite eerie.
The silhouette of a figure appeared in the blood-red mist and slowly walked out.
Linnaeus's face appeared before everyone.
He had his hands in his shirt pockets and looked very relaxed.
Everyone was taken aback.
They reacted quickly; apart from Truman who remained seated on the ground, the others immediately spread out and warily watched Lin Nai.
Linnaeus said, "Is it really necessary? Are you afraid I'm carrying explosives?"
Hua Lingze stared at him: "Why are you still here?"
Linna: "If I'm not here, where should I be? Aren't you chasing me?"
Hua Lingze narrowed her eyes but remained silent.
Lin Nai smiled and said, "Oh, did you think that I set up this formation just to buy time and trap you here?"
"..." Hua Lingze did not speak.
"Too bad, you're wrong." A flash of light appeared in Lin Nai's hand, and his eyes turned abruptly silver-gray: "I intend to kill you all right here!"
Swish—
The words had barely left his mouth!
Lin Nai used the Ghost Shadow Step, leaving a trail of afterimages as he rushed over in the blink of an eye.
He swung the White Night, the heavy scythe drawing out a streak of white light, slashing straight at Yu Yuanyuan, who was closest to him!
Yu Yuanyuan froze on the spot. Her basic attributes were not high enough, so she couldn't even react in time, and her body was completely unable to dodge!
Mu Xun's heart tightened.
He could sense that during the previous battle, Linna was merely stalling them.
But this time, Linnai's attack was truly filled with murderous intent!
"careful!"
Fang Wu suddenly unleashed colorless soul energy from his body, and his speed seemed to increase several times over. In a flash, he blocked Yu Yuanyuan's path.
He raised his hands and caught the sickle that was coming down at him with both palms!
He actually managed to catch that slash with sheer force!
Lin Nai had no intention of fighting back against Fang Wubi, and immediately released Bai Ye with her right hand.
The next moment, he flashed to Fang Wu's side!
"Martial Arts Technique - Imitation of Xu Rulin!"
Fang Wu was stunned for a moment, not expecting Lin Nai to release Bai Ye so easily.
He had just turned his head when he saw Lin Nai kicking him sideways!
"Bang!"
Fang Wu took a solid kick to the side of his face, let out a muffled groan, and flew straight through the air.
"Fang Wu!" Yu Yuanyuan quickly hugged him and flew away with him.
The two men crashed into a massive rock with a deafening roar, shattering the giant rock into pieces!
Lin Nai flicked her wrist and caught the falling Bai Ye, then immediately used the Ghost Shadow Step to disappear from everyone's sight.
"Where did it go??"
Hua Yingwen said nervously.
The group remained vigilant, watching their surroundings as a blood-red mist filled the forest, unsure of which direction Linna would attack from.
Tong Yi used his mental power to sense the surroundings and suddenly said, "Be careful! Southwest!"
"Yingwen! Behind you!"
"Huh?!" Hua Yingwen suddenly turned around.
Linnaeus's figure suddenly appeared behind her.
"Pfft—"
Bai Ye's scythe pierced through Hua Yingwen's body, exiting from behind and emerging from her chest...
Everyone: "!!"
Hua Lingze: "!!!?"
