Book 2, Chapter 106 - Beginning a Slaughter

  

Bai Qingqing closed her eyes and concentrated on the flow of the spiritual energy in the air. Generally, a formation needed a formation disk and formation flags to operate. The formation disk was the eye of the formation, and the formation flags existed to transport spiritual energy.

Not only did all life in the world use spiritual energy, all spells and cultivation methods required the support of spiritual energy too. Formations operate in the same logic.

Bai Qingqing had been educated since young and had learned about formations. Although she was not a genius in the area, she still understood the basics. She had followed her subordinate to study formations for a period of time. One method was to use brute force to directly crush the formation. However, Bai Qingqing’s current cultivation was lacking. The other method was to find the formation eye, which was her only option right now.

She stabilized her mind and felt the spiritual energy in the air. When her heart calmed, she saw the movement of the spiritual energy. At first, the movement seemed elusive, but with time, Bai Qingqing slowly found the direction.

She found that the spiritual energy was slowly flowing to the northeast. With excitement, she confirmed her doubt. She saw the spirit force move like ripples on water toward the green bamboo in the northeast. Bai Qingqing suddenly opened her eyes.

The Wind Flower Sword in Bai Qingqing’s hand trembled and she released her full aura. Spirit force flowed through her body and she moved as fast as lightning. When Zhao Jiuge reacted to Bai Qingqing’s sudden action, a ray of sword energy had already shot out.

The ray of sword energy shined brightly and accurately hit the swaying bamboo.

The bamboo wasn’t cut in half as expected, but the scenery suddenly changed. The air around the area seemed to distort and the surroundings seemed to have changed. The bamboo forest was still the bamboo forest, but there was more color now.

The bamboo where the sword energy had landed had long disappeared and was replaced by a palm-sized hexagonal disk with a pattern carved on it. It gave off a faint light, but it fell to the ground. It was likely that the things used to set up the formation were damaged when the formation was broken.

There were seven locations shining in the corners of the bamboo forest. They were not discs, but seven brown and black flags. Each flag was about ⅓ of a meter tall and had two spirit stones next to them to provide spiritual energy.

The sudden change in the scenery shocked Zhao Jiuge. When he saw the disk and flags, his eyes burned with passion. He quickly rushed over and grabbed them.

Because there were a lot of things, Zhao Jiuge couldn’t hold them all with his two hands. He had to wrap some of them around his chest. He had a happy smile while running back to Bai Qingqing.

Bai Qingqing felt infuriated and funny when she saw Zhao Jiuge’s expression. Although she was thinking this, she deliberately put up a serious expression.

Zhao Jiuge ran before Bai Qingqing and happily said like a child, “Look, these are the formation disk and flags. This is the first time I've seen something like this. Qingqing you’re really too awesome.” Only at the end did he remember to praise Bai Qingqing. He held out the items before him like he wanted to show them off.

Bai Qingqing couldn’t do anything before this brat. Whenever she wanted to pretend to be serious before him, he always made her laugh. “Okay, okay, put them away in your storage ring first. You can study it later when you have free time. Now, onto official business.” As she spoke, she looked uphill.

When Zhao Jiuge heard this, his gaze followed Bai Qingqing’s and the smile on his face slowly disappeared.

There were eight men holding various treasures, looking down at them with ferocious expressions. A late stage Spirit Transformation Realm, a mid stage Spirit Transformation Realm, two early stage Spirit Transformation Realm, and four late stage Blood Movement Realm cultivators—a total of eight people. Although they had a lot of people, it was fortunate their cultivation levels were not high.

It has to be said that the difference between realms was not something that could be made up with numbers. Two Spirit Transformation Realm cultivators did not equal a Foundation Realm cultivator. Looking at the other side, Zhao Jiuge felt the killing intent flow into his heart. He didn’t know why, but he felt a bit of inexplicable anger that he wanted to vent. Perhaps it was because he had learned of their crimes, or because the illusion formation had provoked him. Bai Qingqing had already been completely enraged by Han Songcheng long ago!

The two of them held their swords that were flashing with spirit light and walked up the slope step by step. Their Foundation Realm cultivation was on full display.

When they stepped on the dead branches and leaves, the sounds weren’t loud, but they were especially ear-piercing in this atmosphere. One step, two steps—the distances between the two sides constantly got smaller.

Seeing the two people walking toward them, Zhang Long’s heart became even more heavy. The auras they gave off were extremely powerful, the likes of which he had only felt from Han Songcheng before. No wonder Han Songcheng seemed to be in such a rush earlier. It seemed like he had encountered some difficult opponents.

Although the two of them had broken through, Zhang Long’s heart only felt a bit heavy. However, he didn’t panic. After all, he had expected the two of them to break out. At this moment, Zhang Long actually began to calm down.

Although today’s situation was a little dangerous, he didn’t have much choice. Since he was working under someone else, he had to risk his life for them as well!

At this moment, the eight people’s breathing stopped and their hands turned white from clenching their treasures too hard. Although there were only magic treasures, they were also their greatest insurances.

Seeing the two people arrive at the edge of the flat area, Zhang Long realized that if he let this continue, their side would be completely suppressed. Momentum often played a great role in a battle of life or death. Not to mention the fact that Zhang Long believed that with the eight of them, they wouldn't necessarily lose even if the other side had stronger cultivation. This was because he still had an ace—the Eight Desolate Sword Diagram Han Songcheng had given him.

He still didn’t know the mysteriousness of the sword diagram well and couldn’t display much of its power, but ever since the eight of them started practicing it, the power they displayed made him happy and also a little shocked. The wonder of the Eight Desolate Sword Diagram was a real eye-opener for him. This was why Zhang Long felt particularly confident in the upcoming fight. At the same time, he felt an impulse—he wanted to see how his group of eight would face off against two Foundation Realm cultivators in a fight. He wanted to see how strong Han Songcheng was and how big the differences between them were!

Once killing intent filled the area, neither side wasted time speaking nonsense—they chose to act instantly. The first to attack holds the advantage. There was nothing more valuable than time in a fight between two similarly powerful masters, and victory or defeat was often decided in an instant.

Zhang Long immediately took the lead and shouted, “Attack! Just like we practiced, don’t panic.” He took out a small sword from his waist and held it tightly in his hand.

Beside him, Fat Dragon, Cheng Jianqian, and others all licked their lips, their eyes ferocious. They were, after all, people who lived to fight. Even though their opponents were strong, their bloodlust had erupted. The bit of panic they had felt turned into a ferociousness. Most importantly, their leader, Zhang Long, had already taken the lead!

The eight people held various magic treasures—large blades, long swords, hammers, etc. All of them shined with spirit light, making them very eye-catching.

Bai Qingqing had already been patient for a long time. Previously, she was infuriated by Han Songcheng, and it had taken some effort to catch up. Then she was trapped by this illusion for a long time, and now she had encountered these people blocking her path. Bai Qingqing’s face was cold to a terrifying degree and the killing intent surged in her heart. Her black, silk-like hair and green dress fluttered. Unfortunately, the other party didn’t have the heart to appreciate her beauty.

The Wind Flower Sword in her hand shined brightly and Bai Qingqing let out a cold snort. She was about to start a slaughter!

Sword Energy Elucidation Chapter.

Bai Qingqing and Zhao Jiuge used the sword art one after the other. Both of their swords shined brightly. Although the Blue Plum Sword was much lower in quality than the Wind Flower Sword, the spirit light they released was much brighter than those of the enemies.

Four rays of sword energy shot out from the swords in their hands toward the other side. The sound of the sword energy showed how fast they were. The two of them didn’t hold back and went all out. They were going to use their strength to crush these scum.

The four rays of sword energy enlarged in Zhang Long’s eyes. He had taken the lead and was standing before everyone, so he could feel the sharpness of the four rays of sword energy the most. The sword energy hadn’t even arrived yet, but he could feel stinging pain on his skin.

There was no need to think too much, his spirit force erupted. His late stage Spirit Formation Realm spirit force appeared before him like armor. He could not retreat or hide, because he had seven of his brothers behind him!

It was obvious that he would be unable to block these rays of sword energy on his own, but he still had his brothers behind him. At this moment, their years of teamwork shined.

Behind Zhang Long was the short and fat Fat Dragon and then the short and small Cheng Jianqian. The two of them also released their spirit force and condensed it into an armor. Three layers of spirit force formed before Zhang Long to help resist the rays of sword energy.

As for the four people behind them, they were only at the Blood Movement Realm, so they couldn’t release their spirit force. However, they didn’t hesitate to charge forward with bloodthirsty gazes. They held magic treasures in their hands and rushed forward from both sides.

The next moment, the four rays of sword energy collided with the three layers of spirit armor. There was a brilliant flash of light when they collided.

The four rays of sword energy blasted through the four rays of spirit force in an instant and continued to fly toward the three people in front. However, the four rays had been reduced to three and their power had been greatly reduced.

Zhang Long’s expression changed. He hadn’t expected the gap to be so huge with only one realm difference. However, he didn’t have time to think—the three rays of sword energy continued to enlarge in his eyes.
