Chapter 52 I Should Have Cooperated with You, But I Chose to Turn a Blind Eye
The red fox was very satisfied with Hua Yanci's dazed look.
He raised his finger and hooked it. The people following him immediately understood what he meant and changed their target and attacked the little girl on the mountainside.
Bai Xiaoxiao's hands were sore from climbing. She was just swinging one hand back and forth when she suddenly heard 666's frightened voice in her mind: "Host, be careful!"
A crimson light shot out fiercely from in front of her. If 666 had not spontaneously activated the protective barrier, her head would have been chopped off.
Bai Xiaoxiao swallowed unconsciously and turned her eyes to see a man in a dark red cloak holding a long sword floating in the air. She couldn't see the man's face, but just standing there, she inexplicably felt the other person's disdain and ridicule.
[Is this arrogant death a standard thing? ]
The man in the dark red cloak attacked her again in an instant.
Bai Xiaoxiao summoned the Jiao Bow, hooked her fingertips on the bowstring, and an arrow condensed from spiritual energy suddenly appeared. She aimed at the person who rushed over and fired it. The arrow shot straight forward with a sharp momentum, but the man in the cloak did not dodge or evade. He stretched out his hand to grab the arrow, and squeezed his palm hard. The arrow shattered into pieces in an instant, and fell to the ground like thin and beautiful ice crystals.
「Ohhh… I’m going to die…」
The violent impact hit her face, and Bai Xiaoxiao subconsciously closed her eyes, waiting for the call of death.
However, there was no pain at all.
She opened her eyes hesitantly. Hua Yanci half-knelt beside her, holding her head tightly in his arms with one hand, while the other hand gathered powerful strength to fight against the person opposite.
A rich and strange fragrance penetrated her nostrils. Bai Xiaoxiao's expression suddenly became dazed and she stared at Hua Yanci blankly.
"In the face of life and death, Junior Sister still has the leisure to indulge in Senior Brother's beauty. It seems that I saved her too early."
Hua Yanci's slightly off-key words brought Bai Xiaoxiao back to her senses. She looked at him with a playful look, and even the usually thick-skinned Bai Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel a little hot: "What are you talking about!"
She raised her hands to struggle.
"Don't move!"
Hua Yanci scolded her lightly and hugged her tighter. With his other hand, he quickly formed a seal and swung it violently. The two forces collided with each other to form an extremely powerful explosion.
Taking advantage of the billowing smoke, Hua Yanci took Bai Xiaoxiao and landed behind a mountain.
"Why are you here?"
Hua Yanci seemed to have the answer in her heart, but still couldn't help asking one more question.
More than a dozen answers flashed through Bai Xiaoxiao's mind.
How should I put it? If I say, "I'm here to save you," wouldn't that seem a bit too presumptuous? After all, for a Foundation Establishment cultivator like me to face off against dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators would be a joke, and I might even be looked down upon as a hindrance. So what if I say, "I'm here to have fun?" Hehe... No one with a brain would say, "I'm here to have fun where people are fighting."
Think about it over and over again. Think about it over and over again.
She couldn't find a reasonable and not ridiculous reason.
His eyes fell on Hua Yanci's injured arm, and he shouted exaggeratedly: "Second Brother, you are injured, God! Is it serious? Does it hurt? Why didn't you tell me?"
Exaggerated performance coupled with a careless attitude.
Hua Yanci wanted to cooperate with her, but he really couldn't deceive his eyes and brain. So far, he could only pretend to be blind and remain silent, as he should have cooperated with the performance.
Bai Xiaoxiao felt a chill run down her spine from being stared at. Perhaps she felt her pretense was too low, so she forced a smile and muttered, "I'm worried about you, too. Yes, I know I'm only in the Foundation Establishment stage and don't have any great abilities, but what if... I get lucky and find something special?"
[After all, when I was training with my senior brother, I was able to slap that monster twice by chance.]
Bai Xiaoxiao twisted the hem of her skirt and said nothing.
But the way Hua Yanci looked at her became more and more strange, with an indescribable forbearance and uncertainty in his eyes.
Does she look that weak?
"careful!"
Hua Yanci took her in his arms and spun her around, and the place where they were originally standing was blown away by a gust of air, leaving only a pit.
"Have you finished catching up?"
The red fox casually flicked its nails and looked down at Hua Yanci and Bai Xiaoxiao: "Then, you can go to hell."
A huge magic circle suddenly appeared in the sky.
The complex patterns outline different designs, like irregular but intertwined spider webs, which tightly bind the prey caught in the trap, making it unable to live or die.
"What's this?"
"Magic circle."
"I know it's a magic circle, I want to ask it..."
Bai Xiaoxiao's voice stopped abruptly, and three huge tails spread out from behind the red-robed man in front of her. The scarlet color as if stained with blood made Hua Yanci look more charming and weird.
A fox tail wrapped around Bai Xiaoxiao's waist and instantly brought her to Hua Yanci's side: "Do you regret it?" Then, without giving her any chance to speak, he sneered softly, "Regret, it's no use now."
The fox tail around her waist wrapped her tighter. Bai Xiaoxiao stared at Hua Yanci's increasingly strange eyes. Her mind was blank and she could only hear his ethereal voice:
"Xiaoxiao, die here with Second Brother."
He seemed to be stubborn about something.
Bai Xiaoxiao was just about to explore further.
The formation condensed in the sky has been activated, and countless crimson threads suddenly drooped down, while the same crimson threads also emerged from the bones of Hua Yanci's limbs, entangled with the formation.
"Eternal Locking Evil, the soul and spirit will perish. Host, this is the Eternal Locking Soul Formation, it will invade the meridians of those who enter the formation, restraining their magic until all their vitality is drained! You should leave quickly, with your magic power there is no way you can survive for more than a cup of tea in the formation!"
The red alarm in my mind kept ringing.
Bai Xiaoxiao ignored him and stared at Hua Yanci beside her. Countless red threads had already emerged from his body, making him look like a puppet being manipulated. However, the puppet's face was dull. He was in pain and was stubbornly resisting something.
[Hey, what's going on with Second Brother now? ]
"The formation will cause the demonic energy in his body to dissipate, and he is now struggling against that power."
[What will happen to Second Brother if his demonic power completely disappears?]
'……die. '
【Then is there any way to destroy the formation? 】
"Yes. The first method is to destroy it from the outside. This formation may seem powerful, but to put it bluntly, it drains life force. It is completely different from other high-intensity formations."
"The second method is for the person entering the formation to open fire at full power, relying on their own strength to forcibly blast the formation apart. However, this method is difficult to accomplish even at the Nascent Soul stage, because the greatest feature of the Eternal Soul Locking Formation is its extremely high tolerance, and its blast point is completely unknown."
