"Haha, I didn't expect you, Lin Xiaofei, to be such a coward, actually trying to argue."
After a hearty laugh, Zhou Renhai spoke again:
Everyone knows that during this period, in order to cultivate the spirit fields, you assigned everyone to the edge of the cultivation area, but you were the only one who passed by here every day.
boom!
The flying sword struck Fang Guilong's magical artifact like lightning, producing a loud bang and instantly knocking it off and onto the ground.
Immediately afterward, the flying sword continued its momentum, piercing directly into Fang Guilong's abdomen. The defensive robe flashed with spiritual light, trembled slightly, and then shattered.
puff!
The flying sword pierced his abdomen. Fang Guilong, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, was no match for Zhou Renhai's sword.
Instantly, a hole the size of a palm was pierced in his abdomen, and blood gushed out.
thump!
Fang Guilong fell to the ground, his face pale, spitting blood. Lying on the ground, enduring the excruciating pain, he slowly spoke:
Fellow Daoists, I am truly not Lin Xiaofei. I am Fang Guilong, a disciple of the Bai Xuefeng lineage of the Loose Cultivator Alliance.
I was just passing by today and wanted to seek revenge on Lin Xiaofei. I never expected to accidentally step into the formation set up by you fellow Daoists.
Fellow Daoists, please spare me. I will surely repay you handsomely afterward.
At this moment, he was seriously injured, and five people outside the formation surrounded him. It seemed that these people were not good people, so he introduced himself and hoped that they would let him go.
Upon hearing this, one person quickly said:
"Patriarch Zhou, this man claims he's not Lin Xiaofei. Then all our efforts in setting up the formation will have been for nothing."
"Are you really not Lin Xiaofei?"
Zhou Renhai was taken aback, hesitated for a moment, looked at Fang Guilong, and asked.
"Yes, I am indeed not Fang Guilong."
If I heard correctly, you are like me, going after Lin Xiaofei, right? If you release me, I can join you in dealing with Lin Xiaofei.
The saying goes, "More help means more strength," right?
Nodding, Fang Guilong quickly said.
Seeing that the others had not yet made a move, he slowly stood up, swallowed a healing pill, and rapidly circulated his spiritual energy. Then, he took out five dark beads from his storage bag.
The Dark Pearl was a one-time use hidden weapon that he exchanged from the Internal Affairs Pavilion. One Dark Pearl cost ten thousand low-grade spirit stones, equivalent to the full-force attack of a Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator.
The five dark beads represented the full force of five Foundation Establishment Peak cultivators. He originally intended to use them to deal with Lin Xiaofei, but unexpectedly, he was trapped in the formation and severely injured.
Therefore, in order to gain a chance to survive, he planned to break through the formation and escape.
"snort!
"You, severely injured as you are, are you even worthy to join us in killing Lin Xiaofei? Besides, you ruined our plans, so naturally we can't let you live."
Zhou Renhai's expression changed slightly. He snorted coldly, waved his hand, and a flying sword shot towards Fang Guilong once again.
boom!
A dark bead struck the formation, producing a loud bang. The formation trembled, and a flash of spiritual light appeared. It only consumed a small portion of the formation's spiritual energy and did not completely destroy it.
Immediately afterward, the flying sword pierced through the formation and was about to pierce Fang Guilong's body when he hurriedly threw out another hidden bead.
The flying sword struck the dark pearl, a flash of light appeared, and a loud bang was heard. The flying sword flew backward and crashed to the ground.
"The formation isn't reacting at all, this is bad!"
Fang Guilong was shocked, his expression changed slightly. He hadn't expected that the Dark Pearl couldn't break through this inconspicuous formation. He knew what his fate would be.
A thought flashed through his mind, and gritting his teeth, he made a final struggle, throwing out the three dark beads in his hand at the same time.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
An earth-shattering aura exploded repeatedly above the formation, appearing like a mushroom cloud in front of them.
Click!
A large hole was broken in the formation.
"Um?"
Fang Guilong's eyes narrowed, and he was overjoyed, knowing that his chance to escape had come.
Without hesitation, his spiritual energy surged within him, as if a powerful force had possessed him. With a flash of inspiration, he leaped forward and rushed towards the hole in the formation.
However, just as he rushed towards the formation, he suddenly saw a flying sword, silently and fiercely stabbing at him from the side.
The sword came too fast and too silently, leaving him no time to react.
In an instant, the flying sword pierced his neck.
ah!
puff!
With a scream, his body stiffened, blood splattered, and he suddenly lost all strength and collapsed to the ground.
Fang Guilong, die!
"A wounded person dares to think he can escape from the formation we set up. How naive."
As soon as Fang Guilong made his move, Zhou Renhai sensed something was wrong and immediately took action.
Although Fang Guilong used a hidden bead to knock down his flying sword, it did not prevent him from activating the flying sword again.
After all, he was a cultivator at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, with abundant spiritual energy and formidable strength. How could a mere dark pearl possibly break through his methods?
What was that sound?
Lin Xiaofei had just cultivated the Mountain-Turning Demon Body to perfection when he suddenly heard a loud noise outside the cave. He immediately stopped and accelerated his cultivation.
Raising an eyebrow, he realized that the loud noise just now could not be produced without the strength of someone in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
Could it be that a Foundation Establishment cultivator is unleashing a powerful spell outside the cave?
Lin Xiaofei shook his head slightly, thinking it was impossible. Who would have nothing better to do than release such a powerful spell outside?
Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind: Could it be that some first-tier demonic beasts were fighting and accidentally wandered into this place?
"Oh no! If a demonic beast were to enter this place, wouldn't the low-grade spiritual herbs in those thousand acres of spiritual fields be doomed?"
Lin Xiaofei frowned, quickly got up, and rushed out of the cave.
Although those thousand acres of low-grade spiritual herbs were nothing to him, since he was guarding this place, he couldn't let the spiritual herbs be ruined by demonic beasts.
Rushing out of the cave, Lin Xiaofei took a step forward, leaped into the air, and flew three or four hundred meters.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three loud bangs rang out in succession!
Lin Xiaofei's gaze sharpened as he looked into the distance. He saw strong fluctuations of spiritual energy emanating from the road in the distance, as if a great battle had taken place there.
"Um?"
Soon, Lin Xiaofei approached the source of the loud noise. When he saw several figures, he noticed that five of them were Foundation Establishment cultivators, and a dead body lay on the ground. He couldn't help but speculate, "
Was it really necessary to make such a loud noise to kill someone?
"Is the visitor Lin Xiaofei from the Bai Xuefeng lineage?"
Suddenly, one of the five Foundation Establishment cultivators stepped forward and shouted at Lin Xiaofei.
"Looking for me?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofei paused, stopped in his tracks, and didn't answer directly, thinking to himself:
That man exuded a powerful aura, clearly a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator. Could he be Zhou Renhai?
