Chapter 948 There is an ambush
Seventeen waved his hands, and several wind blades appeared out of thin air, blocking the gray-robed man's retreat.
The gray-robed man's face changed slightly when he saw this. He obviously didn't expect Luo Li to have such a backup plan.
He snorted coldly, quickly forming seals with his hands, and the black soul power condensed into a thick shield around him, trying to resist the attacks of Xiaoliu and Shiqi.
However, Xiaoliu's speed far exceeded his expectations.
Almost at the moment when the gray-robed man's shield was formed, Xiaoliu had already approached him and swung out with a claw, bringing with it a sharp gust of wind, hitting the shield directly.
The shield vibrated violently under Xiaoliu's attack, and cracks spread rapidly.
At the same time, Seventeen's wind blade also whizzed towards him. The gray-robed man had to distract himself to deal with it and dodge quickly, but was still hit by a wind blade, and his sleeve was cut, with blood oozing out.
"You..." The gray-robed man gritted his teeth, a fierce look in his eyes. He stomped his foot, and the ground suddenly cracked. Black soul power surged out like a tide, transforming into countless black tentacles that coiled around Xiaoliu and Shiqi.
Xiaoliu and Shiqi retreated quickly, but those black tentacles seemed endless and kept chasing them.
Seeing this, Luo Li frowned slightly and swung the golden chain in her hand again, hitting the gray-robed man directly.
The gray-robed man sneered, and with a flash of his body, he disappeared from the spot.
Luo Li's golden chains hit nothing, and the gray-robed man's voice came from all directions: "Luo Li, do you think you can catch me with these little tricks? You are too naive."
Luo Li's expression remained unchanged as she said calmly, "Really?"
Before she finished speaking, the figure of a man in gray robes suddenly appeared not far away, but his expression became extremely ugly.
He looked down and found that he had been covered by a golden formation at some point. Runes were faintly flowing in the formation, blocking his retreat.
"You...when..." The gray-robed man looked at Luo Li in shock.
Luo Li smiled slightly, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes: "From the moment you appeared, I have already set up the formation. Do you think I am just dealing with you?"
The gray-robed man had a gloomy expression on his face and tried to break free from the formation. However, no matter how he mobilized his soul power, the formation remained motionless and became tighter and tighter.
"Don't waste your energy." Luo Li walked slowly closer, and the golden chain in her hand condensed again. "This formation is specially prepared for you. Unless you possess a spiritual power that surpasses my consciousness, there is no way you can escape."
The gray-robed man gritted his teeth, a flicker of unwillingness flashing in his eyes, but soon, his expression turned ferocious: "Luo Li, you think you can trap me like this? Dream on!"
He bit his tongue hard, spurting out a mouthful of blood. His black soul power surged instantly, and the formation began to vibrate violently under his impact, and it seemed that it would collapse at any time.
However, the gray-robed man's soul power became stronger and stronger, and the cracks in the formation gradually widened.
Just as the formation was about to collapse, a voice suddenly rang out: "Enough."
Lan Xiaoxiao had stood behind the gray-robed man without him noticing, with the sword in her hand pointing directly at his back.
The sword's edge was so cold that the gray-robed man's movements suddenly stopped.
"If you move again, I'll let you taste the feeling of having your heart frozen." Lan Xiaoxiao said coldly.
The gray-robed man's face turned pale, and he finally stopped struggling. He slowly raised his hands and sneered, "Good, very good. I never thought I would fall into your hands today."
Luo Li sneered and glanced at Xiaoliu, "Xiaoliu, Seventeen, take him and hand him over to the master."
Xiaoliu and Shiqi looked at each other and nodded, "Okay."
The two of them left with the dejected gray-robed man. Lan Xiaoxiao said, "The power this man used at the end should be a secret method of the You Clan that is not passed on to others. It seems that he was really sent by the You Clan to test us."
Luo Li nodded, "That's right, let's go back to the City Lord's Mansion first."
The three of them cleaned up the mess and turned to walk towards the City Lord's Mansion.
The West City Gate is the farthest from the City Lord's Mansion among the five city gates. It was evening and the three of them were walking on the road, but Luo Li felt that she had overlooked something.
Luo Li's pace gradually slowed down, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she was thinking about something.
Lan Xiaoxiao noticed her strangeness and asked, "What's wrong?"
Luo Li shook her head, her eyes sweeping across the surrounding streets as she whispered, "Something feels amiss. The gray-robed man was quite powerful, at least a six-star lord. But aside from that last attack, he didn't seem to be using his full strength."
Lan Xiaoxiao's expression grew more serious upon hearing this. She frowned and asked, "Ah Li, are you saying this might be a trick they use to lure the tiger away from the mountain?"
Luo Li nodded: "Buli City has been in turmoil recently. Many forces are hiding within it. We have to be on guard."
At this moment, a rapid bell rang in the distance, followed by the shouts of the city guards: "The East Gate is under attack! Everyone in the city, hurry to support!"
Luo Li's expression changed slightly, and she immediately turned around and said, "Something really happened! Xiaoxiao, let's go to the East City Gate!"
Lan Xiaoxiao nodded, and the two of them quickly ran towards the east city gate.
On the way, Luo Li felt a little uneasy, always feeling that things were not that simple.
As she hurried on, she said to Lan Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, you and Brother Wanbai go to the East City Gate to check the situation first. I'll be there soon."
"Okay! Then let's go first!" Lan Xiaoxiao didn't hesitate. Her figure flashed and turned into a blue stream of light. She and Song Wanbai disappeared at the end of the street in an instant.
Luo Li slowed down her pace, her cold eyes swept across the surrounding alleys, and she became even more alert.
She always felt that there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at her in the dark.
Sure enough, just as she passed a narrow alley, a black shadow suddenly pounced from the side, with a cold light flashing in his hand, and went straight for her throat!
However, I think he didn't use his soul skills because he was afraid of attracting the attention of other people in the city.
But Luo Li was prepared. She moved to the side and the Xuan Yue in her hand was instantly unsheathed, colliding with the opponent's dagger, making a crisp sound of metal clashing.
"Sure enough, there is an ambush!" Luo Li sneered, turned the Xuan Yue in her hand, and stabbed the opponent's chest with her backhand.
The black shadow obviously didn't expect Luo Li's reaction to be so quick. He hurriedly took a few steps back and dodged the attack.
Only then did Luo Li see the other person's appearance clearly - a man covered in a black robe, with a hideous mask on his face, revealing only a pair of cold and sinister eyes.
"People from the You Clan?" Luo Li narrowed her eyes, a hint of sarcasm in her tone, "You guys really are haunting me."
The man in black robe did not answer, but just stared at her coldly, and swung the dagger in his hand again, the attack was sharp and brutal.
Luo Li narrowed her eyes and raised her sword. The mask of the black-robed man fell off, revealing a face that was not unfamiliar to her.
