Chapter 64 The cat responds to the enemy
Thousands of miles away, in a desolate valley.
The space twisted and Bai Qingchen staggered out holding the unconscious Liu Wan.
He didn't dare to stop for a moment, nor did he bother to check on Liu Wan's condition. He immediately placed her carefully behind a tree.
Bai Qingchen quickly took out a large number of spirit stones and formation flags and plates from his storage bag and began to carve runes on the ground and arrange the formation.
Cold sweat soaked his back, and his fingers trembled slightly due to excessive consumption of spiritual energy.
But his eyes were extremely focused and his movements were without any hesitation.
The one he set up this time was the powerful killing array that he mastered in his previous life. It was a simplified version of the one he used in the Lingxiao Sect trial before.
Now, he was going to set up a stronger version, which almost exhausted all the spirit stones and accumulated materials for setting up the formation, and his spiritual power was rapidly dissipating.
In less than half a minute, the trapping array was set up. He then set up other arrays as a cover, and the place where Liu Wan was hiding was also covered in a small hidden barrier.
Bai Qingchen had just sat down cross-legged at the center of the formation and swallowed a few pills to restore his spiritual power when he felt several powerful auras approaching rapidly from afar like leeches.
It came, faster than he expected!
Light flashed, and Zhao Tiangang, Zhao Feng, Zhao Mei, and several Zhao family guards with concentrated auras appeared above the valley.
Zhao Feng looked at Bai Qingchen sitting cross-legged below, and the spiritual light of the formation around him that had not yet completely subsided, and said hatefully: "Master, this person is extremely skilled in talisman formations, be careful of tricks!"
Oh no, why is the head of the Zhao family here? Bai Qingchen clenched his fists and his heart beat faster. He was afraid that today would be a dangerous day.
Zhao Tiangang looked down from above, his eyes sweeping across the small outer security formation set up by Bai Qingchen, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
"It's only the initial stage of foundation building, the light of a firefly."
He was too lazy to even take action himself. With a casual wave of his sleeves, a huge palm of overwhelming spiritual power gathered out of thin air and slammed down fiercely!
The several defensive talismans that Bai Qingchen hastily set up were like paper and were shattered in an instant!
However, the trapping array in the core area of the formation only flickered slightly a few times and was not broken.
The shock wave dissipated by the giant spiritual palm accidentally swept near where Liu Wan was hiding, triggering the concealment barrier, and Liu Wan's unconscious figure was immediately exposed!
Bai Qingchen's face changed and his heart sank to the bottom.
Zhao Feng's gaze also fell on Liu Wan, confirming that the Thousand Mile Soul Chasing Guide was correct.
Zhao Tiangang looked at Bai Qingchen, whose face was pale but he was trying to remain calm, as if he was looking at a struggling ant.
Bai Qingchen took a deep breath, suppressed the surging blood and qi, raised his head and said loudly, "Master Zhao! You are a Nascent Soul senior, a powerful figure in the area. If you personally attack a Foundation Establishment junior like me, if word gets out, it will damage the Zhao family's reputation and give people the excuse of bullying the weak!"
"How about this? Send someone to fight me fair and square! If I win, you let us go. If I lose, I'll be at the mercy of the Zhao family! How do you think?"
He was gambling on Zhao Tiangang's pride as the head of the family and his absolute confidence in his own strength.
"How dare you!" Zhao Mei immediately jumped out and shouted, "Who do you think you are? Are you worthy enough to negotiate with the head of the family? You dare to speak so shamelessly even when you are about to die!"
However, Zhao Tiangang raised his hand to stop Zhao Mei. A playful smile appeared on his face, like a beast playing with its prey.
"Interesting! I want to see what tricks you, a little bug, can come up with. Okay, I agree. I'll play with you."
He never thought that Bai Qingchen could win. He was simply enjoying the pleasure of being in control of the overall situation and watching Bai Qingchen struggle in vain.
"Master!" Zhao Feng was anxious. He wanted to personally avenge his previous humiliation.
Zhao Tiangang didn't even look at him. His eyes fell on a sturdy man in black with two scimitars on his back, standing next to Zhao Feng. "Zhao Wu, go ahead. Don't let me down."
"I obey your orders! I will definitely live up to the trust placed in me by the Patriarch!"
A gleam of light flashed in Zhao Wu's eyes, and he gave Zhao Feng a subtle provocative smile. He took a step forward and his figure disappeared in an instant.
When he appeared again, he appeared in front of Bai Qingchen like a ghost!
The two scimitars were like poisonous snakes coming out of their holes, one above and one below, with a shrill sound of breaking through the air, slashing towards Bai Qingchen's neck and waist as fast as lightning, and the blade light was sharp.
Such a fast speed! Bai Qingchen's pupils suddenly shrank! This Zhao Wu was definitely at the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage, and was a fierce character who was extremely good at close combat!
He didn't have time to think about it, relying entirely on the instinctive reaction honed from countless life-and-death battles! He quickly retreated, raising both hands at the same time!
"Stone Shield Talisman! Rise!"
"Thorn Talisman! Entanglement!"
A thick rock shield instantly appeared in front of him, blocking the scimitar that was slashing towards his neck! At the same time, several thorny spiritual vines broke out of the ground and wrapped around Zhao Wu's legs!
Clang! The rock shield was shattered by the scimitar, but it finally blocked the fatal blow.
However, the scimitar that was slashing towards the waist and abdomen strangely drew an arc in the air, avoiding the entanglement of the vines, and still slashed towards him like a shadow!
Bai Qingchen dodged to the side quickly, and with a "swish", a cut was made on the side of his shirt, narrowly avoiding the skin.
He didn't dare to pause for even a second. He quickly retreated to create distance, while his hands flew like butterflies, throwing out talismans one after another!
Various low-level spells and talismans hit Zhao Wu like a storm, not to hurt the enemy, but only to stop and interfere with him.
Zhao Wu's figure was like a ghost, and he danced with his two scimitars tightly, breaking or blocking the incoming spells one by one.
His speed was too fast, and most of Bai Qingchen's talisman attacks missed. Even if they occasionally got close to him, they were resolved by his exquisite swordsmanship.
He was like a thorn in the flesh, constantly closing the distance, and the cold light from the scimitar always covered Bai Qingchen's vital points!
Bai Qingchen was forced into danger, with several more knife marks on his body, and half of his body was stained red with blood.
His spiritual power was rapidly consumed like a flood, but his eyes remained calm. While he was dodging and blocking in a panic, his steps seemed chaotic, but in fact, each step was placed in a specific direction.
Finally, when he was forced to stumble back by Zhao Wu's sword, Bai Qingchen's eyes flashed with brilliance. He stamped his feet and growled, "Formation!"
Buzz——!
The trapping array that had been set up long ago was instantly activated. The entire valley seemed to be shrouded by an invisible force, and the air suddenly became sticky and heavy!
Countless dark shadows of chains appeared out of thin air and coiled around Zhao Wu in the formation like spirit snakes!
Zhao Wu's face changed drastically. He felt his body suddenly sink as if he was stuck in a quagmire, and his speed dropped sharply!
The circulation of spiritual power also became extremely sluggish, and what was even more terrible was that those black chains had the power to imprison the soul.
Right now, Bai Qingchen has been waiting for this opportunity!
He endured the severe pain and the dizziness caused by the exhaustion of spiritual power, and activated the two powerful attack talismans in his hands at the same time, turning them into a golden light that was condensed to the extreme. With the force of thunder, it slammed towards Zhao Wu, who was trapped in the chains and moving slowly.
Zhao Wu was horrified and desperately tried to mobilize his spiritual power to break free from the chain defense, but under the suppression of the formation, his movements were more than a beat slower.
Boom——!!!
A deafening explosion sounded, and violent energy raged in the valley! Smoke and dust filled the air!
When the smoke and dust cleared a little, Zhao Wu was seen with his body charred black, his clothes torn, one of his two scimitars broken, and his body covered with wounds deep enough to see the bones. He was lying in a huge pit, dying, and had completely lost his ability to fight.
Bai Qingchen was leaning on his knees, gasping for breath, his face as pale as paper, and blood constantly flowing from the corners of his mouth.
That blow just now almost drained away his last bit of strength.
"waste!"
Zhao Tiangang's face instantly turned so gloomy that water seemed to be dripping out of it. Looking at Zhao Wu, whose life or death was unknown in the deep pit, murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
He hadn't expected that his capable disciple would actually be defeated! This was a slap in his face!
"Master! Let me kill him!" Zhao Feng pleaded again, his eyes burning with the flames of revenge and the eagerness to show off.
Zhao Tiangang didn't refuse this time. He squeezed out a word from between his teeth: "Go!"
Completely forgetting the previous agreement for a duel.
