Chapter 138: Red Sun Separation Fire Formation
"Do you think we would leak the Gold Master's information?" Their employer, who spent Spirit Stones lavishly, was referred to as the Gold Master.
Shadow Kill adhered to strict confidentiality, and if anyone leaked the Gold Master's information, the consequences would be more tragic than death.
"Take action!"
Lu Fang knew the chances were slim, but he casually inquired, prompting everyone to quickly gather around.
A loud shout echoed, and everyone summoned their Spiritual Weapons, enclosing the twenty-three black-robed cultivators inside. These cultivators held small red flags, each two feet long and shaped like a triangle, as they took positions in different directions.
"Red Sun Separation Fire Formation! Be cautious!"
Lu Fang recognized the formation and loudly warned. The complete formation required the coordination of forty-nine cultivators at the Foundation Building stage or above. Such a formation could contend with Golden Core cultivators when fully activated.
However, there were only twenty-three individuals present, including thirteen at the Qi Cultivation level. Naturally, they couldn't unleash the full power equivalent to resisting Golden Core cultivators.
Moreover, they had only rehearsed this formation briefly just now, and their coordination was still unfamiliar, significantly reducing its effectiveness.
Initially, their small courtyard had a secret passage leading to another yard a hundred feet away, serving as a retreat in critical moments, eliminating the need for direct confrontation.
But ironically, just two days ago, another group accidentally connected their underground tunnel during some digging.
In the city of Azure Void, housing tens of thousands of cultivators, inevitably, some harbored secretive activities. Some created hidden chambers underground, while others dug tunnels, turning Azure Void into a maze of underground passageways.
Connecting all these tunnels would indeed form a massive labyrinth.New novel chapters are published on
Wang Hong, alias Wang Kun, was no stranger to tunneling; he had dug a tunnel under the residence he impersonated and built underground cellars for his brewing workshop. Even his recently purchased mansion had an escape route underground.
He forgot that his study of runes was for creating talismans, and he had only grasped Yin and Yang runes. Understanding one percent was already remarkable.
He only saw the Yin and Yang runes circulating, arranging into new patterns, which then gathered to form a more intricate and complex set of runes. Eventually, this complex arrangement gave birth to the formidable flame.
Taking another sip of Spirit Tea, his thoughts raced. After a while, his eyes lit up as if he had grasped something.
From his Storage Bag, he retrieved a piece of animal hide, dipped his finger in animal blood, and began to draw. He sketched three Yang runes connected to each other, forming a mysterious shape. He infused some Spiritual Power into it, hearing the collisions of Spiritual Power within the runes.
Suddenly, the three runes emitted a burst of heat, and a light smoke rose from the animal hide, carrying a burnt smell. Perhaps due to insufficient firepower, only the area where he drew the runes turned black.
Although unsuccessful, he felt he had found the right direction and planned to practice more when he got back.
While Wang Hong delved into rune research, the thirteen Qi Cultivation cultivators belonging to Shadow Kill had depleted their Spiritual Energy and collapsed on the ground. The remaining ten Foundation Building cultivators continued maintaining the Red Sun Separation Fire Formation, charging forward.
Just moments ago, two Qingxu Sect Foundation Building cultivators were hit by the flame. Along with their defensive Spiritual Weapons, they turned to ashes.
Lu Fang, wielding a two-yard-diameter shield, arrived at the forefront of Shadow Kill's attempt to break through. As the flame approached, his shield did not melt like the Spiritual Weapons before.
"A high-grade Spiritual Weapon! So, Fellow Daoist Lu has a high-grade Spiritual Weapon. Please, Fellow Daoist Lu, hold on for a moment. We'll break this Red Sun Separation Fire Formation," shouted the high-ranking cultivator.
At this point, the flame had diminished somewhat due to the loss of support from the thirteen Qi Cultivation cultivators.
Boom! At that moment, over twenty Spiritual Weapons simultaneously struck the Light Screen of the Red Sun Separation Fire Formation. The Light Screen shattered, turning into scattered starlight.
The ten Foundation Building cultivators maintaining the formation all spat out a mouthful of blood.
