Chapter 173 Wood Spirit Formation and Water Spirit Formation (1)
In the sky, there seemed to be eight stars twinkling.
Luo Xuanyi's soul power easily captured the attack from behind. Her ethereal figure leaped backward, lightly landing on a lotus leaf in Dangyun Lake.
Compared to the cultivators, Luo Xuanyi's attention was more focused on the arrangement of the flags.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard she used her soul power to perceive, she could not sense the location of the formation flag. It seemed as if the formation flag had melted into the air and disappeared without a trace.
The only trace left was the occasional twinkling of stars in the sky. But with the sun so blazing, how could there be any stars in such a bright sky?
The fake stars, compared to the number of formation flags... this was a true formation arrangement, far superior to Hao Fei's half-baked professionalism. Just as Luo Xuanyi's mind was frantically processing, trying to glean some information about the formation, the ignored Lian Qing looked at her with uncertainty.
Lian Qing was the first cultivator to arrive in Xiaohe City, but it wasn't because of her speed. In fact, she was merely a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator with dual water and wood spiritual roots. She arrived first because she had used a high-level escape formation disk, enhancing her ability to fly thousands of miles, fearing that Xiaohe City would fall prey to Luo Xuanyi's ruthless attack.
Lian Qing, sharing the same surname as Lian Yan three hundred years ago, is a direct descendant of Lian Yan. Lian Yan's immense contributions to Xiaohe City earned her recognition from the six major alliances, and her descendants began their journey into the realm of immortality. Unfortunately, no one has yet reached the Golden Core stage, and over the past three hundred years, Lian Yan's patronage has gradually weakened.
At this time, Lian Qing, who was originally planning to take the imperial examination, was sent to Yifeng Retreat by the unwilling elders to test his spiritual roots. Surprisingly, he was found to have the dual spiritual roots of water and wood, which were one in a million! Although he was not a genius like those with natural spiritual roots, Lian Qing still carried the heavy expectations of his clan members and entered Yifeng Retreat to practice.
However, when Lian Qing began to practice, she had already missed the best time to practice. She started practicing at the age of fifteen, and now, thirty-four years later, she has barely reached the middle stage of foundation building. Even her master felt sorry for her.
"A genius who excels at changing formations but not at cultivation," those within the sect whispered about her. She didn't want pity. She practiced relentlessly, relentlessly. For Lord Lian Yan, for Xiaohe City. Whenever she felt her practice was boring, she would think of this to cheer herself up.
So, we must not let anyone ruin all this.
Lian Qing was only in the Foundation Establishment stage. With her eight formation flags, she had only learned three basic formations: the Wood Spirit Formation, the Water Spirit Formation, and the Human Formation. Her methods were limited. While her formation skills were far superior to those of her peers in the later stages, she was initially weak. She had to rely on observing her enemies and adapting basic formations to defeat them.
Since she was not yet able to pull the formation flags at any time during the movement, she immediately arranged the first basic formation - the human formation - the first time she saw Luo Xuanyi, trying to proceed steadily and test Luo Xuanyi's strength.
The human formation, which remained unchanged, would greatly weaken the enemy in the enemy's position and forcibly suppress the use of spiritual power. However, just as Lian Qing tried to attack Luo Xuanyi from behind, Luo Xuanyi seemed unaffected, lightly dodging the attack and jumping out of the range of the human formation.
Is this a coincidence, or is her strength even higher than mine? Lian Qing looked at Luo Xuanyi, feeling his intuition sounding a warning. Is this really an opponent I can handle? Is Fu Wenta's intelligence wrong?
Why didn't she attack?
Aside from the change in clothing from red and black to a gray robe, his appearance matched the bounty picture uploaded by Dong E. His dark hair, pulled down to almost cover his brows, gave him a gloomy demeanor, a demonic path at first glance.
Just as she was observing Luo Xuanyi vigilantly, Luo Xuanyi finally noticed her and spoke, but what she said surprised Lian Qing.
"Have I seen you before? I feel like I just saw you..."
The tone was like a casual chat, without any malice, and it seemed that he didn't want to pursue Lian Qing's attack just now. Such a sentence completely disrupted Lian Qing's rhythm. She replied a little dumbfoundedly: "Ah, we haven't met."
"No, I'm quite confident in my memory. Yes, you and Lian Yan look alike. You're Lian Yan's descendant, right? I see." Luo Xuanyi muttered to herself, seemingly not needing Lian Qing's response. Finally, she breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Lian Qing, "Alright, problem solved. Come on over here, will you? I've never seen a true formation cultivator use a formation like this."
"Ah, did you already set up the battle flags? So you have to set them up first. It makes all the difference with formal instruction. You really have to see it in action. I should be able to watch it from the other side's perspective later."
Lian Qing didn't know what to say. Luo Xuanyi's relaxed attitude had initially confused her, but now she felt a chill creeping up her spine. She practically murmured, "You killed someone with this attitude?"
Luo Xuanyi's words were devoid of any hint of bloodshed. Lian Qing assumed this kind of conversation would only occur in her daily life, such as during exchanges and competitions between the major sects, or when she was guiding her younger disciples to initiation. Yet, Luo Xuanyi, even while bearing the lives of three cultivators and being hunted, leisurely spoke these words to her attacker.
It seems that this is her daily routine.
"It's better for demonic cultivators not to exist in this world!"
Stay calm. Lian Qing was outwardly angry, but his inner emotions were not overwhelmed. The human formation would not work against Luo Xuanyi. He would probably have to confront Luo Xuanyi head-on. To do so, he had to maximize his strength and defeat Luo Xuanyi within a range that wouldn't harm the city's inhabitants!
Before attacking Luo Xuanyi, she had already informed the nearby shops. Now that the citizens were all in the west, she could attack without hesitation. Lian Qing's eyes fell on Dangyun Lake, and her mind immediately recalled the basic pattern of the Wood Life Spirit Formation. She gently waved her hand and moved the silk thread connecting the formation flags in the void.
The eight false stars in the sky shone simultaneously, descending from the clouds to form formation flags. Following Lian Qing's movements, they rearranged themselves and merged into the air once again, transforming into false stars. The formation shifted in an instant. Led by her starlight, the entire Dangyun Lake erupted in green waves, sweeping towards Luo Xuanyi!
It was a lotus leaf that expanded like a cloud in the sky, rushing towards Luo Xuanyi. The spiritual energy between heaven and earth was quickly refined into a huge dewdrop, which rolled towards Luo Xuanyi from the tip of the lotus leaf.
Luo Xuanyi opened her eyes wide and relaxed her body playfully, allowing the dewdrops to capture her body and drip into the dim lake water completely covered by lotus leaves. At this time, Lian Qing's figure had already merged into the lotus sea.
She calmly assessed the situation.
Wednesday's update~ There are many different attack modes for formation cultivators. Some use formations to kill enemies, some use formations as a supplement, and so on~
Let's see if I can write a make-up chapter today. I was thinking of ending the make-up chapter today. Hh, I was slapped in the face as soon as I set the flag~
I would also like to thank all the book friends who voted for the recommendation. Thank you for your encouragement~
