The new magic array was naturally set up by Lu Shenzhi. He and Shi Xuan started setting up the array at the same time. When Shi Xuan finished, his array was still in progress, while Shi Xuan's array trapped those people, which also bought Lu Shenzhi some time.
That's why we have this scene now. When Xuan's formation was broken, Lu Shenzhi's formation lit up immediately afterward.
The Hongmeng team, who had just broken through one trapping formation and were about to launch an attack, were trapped by an even more powerful formation.
Compared to the previous trapping formation, this formation clearly carries a stronger killing intent.
As soon as the array's glowing light appeared, several sword blades whistled through the air and arrived in front of the Hongmeng team members in an instant.
Those sword blades were crackling with lightning, just like what Lu Shenzhi did to Qian Zheng in the training ground last time.
At that time, a similar lightning-fast blade flew towards Qian Zheng's face, but those outside the situation didn't feel it much. Only now, having come to their senses and being in the thick of it, did they suddenly feel that oppressive feeling, that tension of a sharp weapon about to strike.
The cultivators within the formation hurriedly dodged, and those who couldn't dodge erected shields in an effort to protect themselves.
At this moment, Shi Xuan, in a rather pleasant mood, handed Lu Shenzhi a storage bag.
Lu Shenzhi took the storage bag and examined it, finding it to be full of spirit stones and some pills to replenish spiritual energy.
He possesses both metal and lightning spiritual roots, which indeed presents him with many limitations in this place filled with fire energy. The spiritual power required to control such a large formation must be considerable.
Without hesitation, Lu Shenzhi immediately took out the spirit stones and pills from them and used them.
With the support of these spirit stones and pills, he will be able to hold on for longer.
In contrast, he seems to have embarked on another long journey of accumulating debt...
"It's alright," Lu Shenzhi thought optimistically. "When the next Nascent Soul Tribulation comes, my junior sister might give me a discount because she sees how pitifully he's being struck."
The people inside the formation were still fighting against the relentless onslaught of lightning swords, while Shi Xuan had already taken this opportunity to make new adjustments to the entire team.
Therefore, when the Hongmeng team broke through the formation with many injured and three captured, they were met with another attack formation carefully arranged by Shi Xuan.
This time, taking advantage of the fact that the enemy was still in a daze after breaking through the formation, the team members rushed into their ranks as a group. Everyone had some talismans and pills that Shi Xuan had just distributed, and they took every opportunity to use them on the enemy.
After a series of coordinated actions, almost all the Golden Core cultivators in the Hongmeng team were wiped out; they were either captured or rendered incapable of fighting.
The Harmony team, ranked first in the Outer Domain Arena, has finally suffered its biggest defeat since the team was founded.
There were eight people left, and they were all in a state of agitation and anger. None of them were able to think properly about how to continue the fight.
What other way could they fight? Ideally, their team would not lose a single member, while their Hongmeng team would suffer heavy losses, and not just ordinary heavy losses.
"Wait a minute!" Yan Lingyi shouted, seeing the situation was turning against him, "We can talk!"
The best team members glanced at Shi Xuan, but she showed no sign of stopping.
What's there to talk about? The winner doesn't need to talk, and the loser can't offer any favorable terms anyway.
Let's get this done today!
We've completely defeated them, let's see if they'll ever try to act like idiots again!
The team members were having a great time and had no intention of stopping. Seeing that their captain didn't react, they were just happy and played even more enthusiastically.
The only player with sufficient combat power in the current Hongmeng team is Yan Lingyi, a cultivator with a single fire spiritual root.
Due to the natural conditions of this place, his spiritual energy was abundant, and he was still full of energy even after such a long time.
But at this moment, he was attacked from both sides. If he released a fire spell, he would have to quickly return to defense and set up a defensive artifact.
The lack of concentrated attacks gave the best squad members more breathing room. In addition, the best squad members were treated exceptionally well, with each of them holding a large number of pill bottles to recover while fighting, making them even more difficult to defeat.
Yan Lingyi was furious. Xuan was completely unresponsive at this point. When asked to stop and talk, she pretended not to hear.
"Shi Xuan, I challenge you to a duel!" Yan Lingyi shouted in desperation.
In a one-on-one fight, none of them could defeat him, but in the current situation, it was like ants killing an elephant. He and a few useless members of his team were surrounded and attacked by the best squad.
Upon hearing this, Shi Xuan raised an eyebrow and laughed, "Are you stupid or am I? Attack!"
It's true that challenges initiated by the Prodigy Ranking must be one-on-one, but Shi Xuan can disagree. As the top-ranked Prodigy Ranking member, Yan Lingyi's individual combat ability is beyond doubt, especially since this is his home ground with his fire elemental root.
Even if Shi Xuan refused him without any consequences, even if Shi Xuan were the number one on the Prodigy Ranking today and would fall off if he didn't fight, she still wouldn't agree.
At worst, she could accept defeat and recover her ranking, but this was the perfect opportunity for her to deal with the Hongmeng team, so she wasn't going to let it slip by.
At this point, the remaining eight members of the HarmonyOS team were finding it increasingly difficult to hold on, while the best team was becoming stronger and stronger.
Aside from Yan Lingyi, the rest of the Hongmeng team gradually ran out of spiritual energy, and their supply of elixirs also dwindled. Meanwhile, Yan Lingyi, whose combat strength had remained undiminished, was caught in a pincer movement, unable to keep up with the attacks.
The situation is beyond saving; continuing the stalemate will only lead to a more crushing defeat.
Yan Lingyi gritted her teeth and said in a hateful voice, "Withdraw!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Lingyi quickly retreated, then took out a directional teleportation talisman, activated it, and disappeared from the spot.
The other seven had already decided to retreat, and seeing Yan Lingyi leave, they naturally did not hesitate and followed their captain's lead in retreating as well.
However, three of them were slow to react and were caught by the best team members.
Of the team of twenty-five, only five escaped after clashing with the best squad; the remaining twenty were captured alive.
If this were posted in the miscellaneous section of the virtual lobby, probably no one would believe it.
How is this possible? How could the top-ranked Hongmeng team be so thoroughly humiliated by a rookie team!
But things took an unexpected turn.
Lu Shenzhi glanced at Shi Xuan and asked, "Chase?"
Shi Xuan shook his head. The directional teleportation talisman they used had a limited range, but chasing after them wouldn't be of much use. With these twenty people at their disposal, it would be the same.
There were no outsiders present at this time. Shi Xuan took out the members of the Hongmeng Team who were bound by the Spirit Binding Rope from the living space and arranged them in a row on the ground.
The captured Qian Zheng sat on the ground, finally appearing shorter than when standing. He spoke with a fierce exterior but a weak interior, "What do you want?"
