He couldn't believe his senses!
There was clearly something wrong with his senses right now, because not only was he seeing 2 level 3 trees in the small patch of forest in front of him, but there were also 3 level 4 trees as well.
This unbelievable formation was seemed to be spread around like protecting something in the middle, that he guessed that it should be the location of the mother tree.
But just looking at that formation one could understand that it wasn't complete. After all, Tianlong Yun could only sense about ¾ of the formation.
So, it was logical to think that in reality there were at least 16 level 3 and 4 level 4 trees as their opponents in front of them right now.
The pressure was like never before, if he would have to compare it to the prior pressure it would now be more than four times of the original pressure from this place.
It was crazy! He had never thought that it would be so bad. This whole thing had just blown up to impossible proportions.
If before entering the Old Pouch they had around 30% chances of success in taking down the mother tree, right now their chances were less than 10% to survive and return back from here.
And that wasn't even the worst part of it, as the moment they came out of the Old Pouch, they were immediately locked by more than 10 powerful spirit senses.
A few of them seemed to have a powerful spirit sense due to their fu*cking high cultivation, while the rest seemed to have a high soul cultivation.
Just what the fu*ck was going on here, since when had the locals started to work alongside the intruders like him, and those other guys.
It was messed up, everything was messed up. From the power of the trees, up to those people being behind them right now.
According to his estimations, the people behind him were split in two big groups, one was the intruders who had Qi cultivation, and the other one was the locals with the Soul cultivation.
The locals had 3 people being at least at Soul Grandmaster as him, and the rest should be at least one realm higher, as they had much stronger presences.
He didn't know about their entourage but it was certain that there would be more than a 1000 at least, together with their puppets.
As for the intruder's group, these guys were even more of bad news, the only people possible to have such a powerful spirit sense in here were in the Boundary Ascension and above.
Right now, he could feel around 5 presences in that Realm or higher, as it was difficult to use experience here to make precise estimations about their strength.
Even then, it looked like all the intruders had finally united in one big group, and were rushing towards this place.
To powerhouses like them to cover the small distance of less than 100 meters it was nothing more than the hundredth of a second.
But with the pressure in here, and the mysteriousness of this place, they were walking slowly and carefully.
Even when they locked their spirit sense on Tianlong Yun and the others, these guys had a moment of hesitation, and stopped for a moment.
This was a grave mistake for a powerhouse like them, but everyone is afraid of death. Even crazy people like Tianlong Yun might have a moment of hesitation then and there.
That moment of hesitation gave Tianlong Yun a moment of thought, as he was considering his current situation, and the possible outcomes.
If Tianlong Yun and his disciples continued with what they were doing, then they would be nothing more than a firefly in front of a bunch of kids.
No matter how he looked at this there was no way they would be able to escape neither side in this situation, so he had to think of a solution and fast!
Right now, his brain was just like some powered up computer trying to find the best way out of this situation, creating hundreds of thousands of stimulations in his brain in but an instant.
He knew that the more time he spent thinking about what to do, the more did he endanger himself and his disciples.
He had to take a decision, and now!
It was then that something sparked inside his brain. At first, he was going to use his disciples to keep these trees occupied, as he took care of the mother tree, but with these guys here that wouldn't be necessary.
When he sensed them he was too shocked and had thought of these guys coming only as added danger to him, and his side, but were they truly like that?
No, as long as he played his cards right, these guys would be a great help to his goal, as a matter of fact they could be the key to accomplishing his goal.
At this moment, he felt like he had risen from the depths of Hell, to the bright skies of Heaven, he couldn't have wished for a better gift right now.
This was the power of the Soul Power, and Soul Cultivation in the processing speed of the brain in special, as all this happened in but less than a tenth of a second.
It was really crazy, but this was the reality that normal people can't really imagine, in Tianlong Yun's eyes, brain and sense the world around him was moving in extremely low slow motion.
But he wasn't the only one whose time was moving like that, as there were many other same as him, not to say even better then him.
So, he couldn't afford to lose even a hundredth of the second, as he immediately ordered all his disciples to start the Soul Severing Formation.
Some of the disciples were surprised with the sudden order, as each and every one of them had their role already decided, and it wasn't being part of the formation.
Still they did what they were ordered without even questioning anything at that moment, as they immediately connected and set up the formation.
All of a sudden in a completely pitch-black space like the one they were in, a blinding light flashed for only less than the tenth of a second, and then disappeared in the darkness once again.
Right before the light went on, the two groups behind Tianlong Yun and his army of disciples were less than 10 meters away.
They were just about to jump forward and capture this weird young man that suddenly appeared in front of them, from nothingness, but at that moment they were hit by the blinding light.
Their eyes, and their senses no matter how enhanced they were, were used to the darkness and pressure of that space.
So, being hit suddenly with the light, and that spirit lightness, it was like hitting a normal person in a dark room with a flashbang, they were shocked.
They were completely stopped in their tracks due to their shock, as Tianlong Yun immediately took his army of disciples inside his Old Pouch, and started running toward the forest formation in front of him.
His 'flashbang' aroused more than just the shock of the two groups behind him, as the moment it happened it had also aroused the trees to attack.
The sudden Soul Severing Formation was just like poking at the enemy in a very tense situation, and it completely served the purpose as the trees started attacking right away.
Tianlong Yun was already used to their movements, and patterns so he didn't suffer from their initial attack, but the two groups following behind weren't that lucky.
As a matter of fact, they were still in the shock from the 'flashbang' when the first attack of the trees came, and they weren't able to properly defend their selves.
Even those 10 powerful guys weren't an exception as they tried to protect their selves placing their hands in front of them.
That was the most logical thing to do in that situation, but also the most stupid one. Those locals didn't have the strength to resist the physical attack, and the intruders didn't have the Soul Power to resist the Soul Power absorption.
Even though they quickly realised their mistakes, and immediately started using their own ways of resisting the attack, they still felt pain.
For people like them, at the height they had been standing all this time, being attacked and feeling pain was like one of the biggest humiliations they could go through.
What kind of person with brains in their head, and the tiniest bit of logic and reason would dare to do something like that to them.
So, they were truly angered right now! Most probably if Tianlong Yun was still in front of them right now they would have done everything they could to make him suffer a horrible death.
It was all his fault after all, he had not only shocked them with his 'flashbang' but he had also 'startled' their enemies to attack without even speaking first.
Since they hadn't quite seen the enemy, how it looked like or what it was, they thought that no matter what kind of monster it was, it should have sentience and would speak to them.
They could try to trick the monster, and then attack him by surprise, but that option was fully gone, and that was due to that stinky young man who created this situation.
Well they werent totally wrong as the mother tree certainly had sentience and probably could communicate with them, but who would do that when half of itself was almost destroyed.
No matter how logic, and reason did one possess, once it had lost half of itself would lose its reason and logic…
