Chapter 319: Chapter 288 Instant Movement _1
Swoosh!
The moment before the attack landed, the black Nascent Soul disappeared suddenly and re-appeared a hundred meters away.
The Black Nascent Soul, with a shocked expression on its little face, looked back at Xu Mu before transforming into a black escape light and flying away, seemingly trying to escape.
“Does this guy not seem very powerful?”
Xu Mu, who had almost succeeded in one strike, found that this Black Nascent Soul was not as strong as rumored.
A pair of white wings spread out from behind him. This was his lifebound treasure, the Sky Phoenix Feather. His body transformed into escape light, ready to chase after the Black Nascent Soul.
This Black Nascent Soul had been living here for who knows how long. If it could be captured, many secrets could undoubtedly be revealed. Perhaps the treasures of this place were taken by it. If nothing else, it could at least be sold for money.
An independent Nascent Soul would not be much less valuable than a tier ten treasure. How could he let it escape right before his eyes?
Roar roar roar!
However, before Xu Mu could take action, those undead guards, as if mad, obstructed his path, blocking his way out.
But with the Sky-splitting Halberd in his hand, these undead guards were no match for him. It didn’t take him long to defeat a bunch of them.
The powerful cutting force of the Sky-splitting Halberd prevented these undead guards from even having the chance to self-destruct.
Just as Xu Mu was about to break out, the surrounding walls and floor suddenly shone brightly, revealing numerous runes and spiritual power lines.
“A Formation!! Damn!!”
Xu Mu had just reacted when the environment around him drastically changed. The stone hall had transformed into an endless desert, and the undead guards had all vanished.
“Damn it!”
Xu Mu cursed, then launched an attack on all sides. Other than causing a cloud of dust to fly up, there was no abnormality. It seemed as if he had indeed been transported to a desert.
He flapped his wings, flying at maximum speed toward the sky. However, after flying for a while, he was still far from reaching it. He hadn’t even touched the clouds.
The unwilling Xu Mu used the Devouring Divine Skill, absorbed a massive amount of spiritual power from the world, and launched an attack far exceeding the Golden Core Stage. The result was that other than creating a crater in the desert, there were still no abnormalities.
“Trouble! This Formation level is pretty high! Didn’t it teleport me away?”
For a while, Xu Mu was trapped in the Formation, not knowing what to do.
Meanwhile, as time passed, other teams arrived one after another.
“Your Highness, should we wait for others? This palace has a lot of Golden Core Stage undead aura. If we go in alone, it could be dangerous!”
A blue-robed woman cultivator under the Seventh Princess, holding a compass, somehow detected the situation inside the palace.
“Wouldn’t it be better if there were more? If we wait for them to come, how can I keep the first place!”
The Seventh Princess snorted coldly and directly led her subordinates into the palace.
But she was not completely reckless. She laid traps, one after another, to lure and kill. If she encountered danger, she could escape in time.
Compared to when Xu Mu arrived, there were significantly fewer undead guards in the palace now, and some were only at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Unbeknownst to them, the team of the Seventh Princess had entered the palace.
A petite undead guard silently approached the cultivators during the battle, stealthily launched a sneak attack, breaking through one person’s protective spiritual power, and then a black glow instantly entered her body.
“Ah!”
The cultivator let out a scream and instantly fell to the ground.
The remaining cultivators quickly cleared the nearby undead guards and moved the cultivator to a safe area.
“What happened?”
Another cultivator squatted down to investigate. At this moment, the cultivator’s body began to rapidly wither, as if the energy in her body was being rapidly drained by something.
The cultivators immediately used their skills to seal her body and took out pills for her to take. But before they could finish all of these, the cultivator had already turned into a dried corpse, and then a black glow flew out and entered the nearest cultivator’s body.
The same thing happened again: the cultivator screamed, fell to the ground, and her body rapidly withered.
“Attack! Attack immediately!”
The Seventh Princess’s eyes turned cold, and without hesitation, she launched an attack on the cultivator.
The others hesitated for a moment and then also launched an attack.
Boom boom boom!
Unprepared, the body was instantly torn to shreds by multiple attacks.
However, the black glow was not destroyed. Instead, it quickly entered another person’s body.
“Your Highness, don’t!”
The follower who understood this possession was greatly shocked.
Even the Seventh Princess hesitated at this moment and instead started using sealing skills, hoping to seal the follower and the black glow together.
The remaining two, one threw out a sealing talisman, and the other released a binding treasure.
However, after the sealing, the follower’s life force did not stop ebbing away. In just a few breaths, it had been completely drained.
The three were powerless and could only reinforce the sealing spell repeatedly.
The next moment, a ray of light appeared behind the Seventh Princess, and then a Black Nascent Soul appeared behind her, rushing towards her, clearly intending to enter her body.
“Your Highness, be careful!”
The remaining two followers urgently warned, but it was too late.
Hum!
Just as the Black Nascent Soul had almost entirely entered, a green light suddenly arose on the Seventh Princess, bouncing the Black Nascent Soul back.
“Nascent Soul restriction! Damn!”
The Black Nascent Soul cursed, and flew towards the other two cultivators.
The two didn’t have time to dodge, and one of them became possessed again.
“Die!”
The Seventh Princess was truly furious now. She took out a purple jade symbol from her storage bag. It emitted extremely terrifying fluctuations. This was a life-saving object given by the royal family. Not to mention a Nascent Soul without a body, even a real Nascent Soul might not be able to withstand it.
“Damn!”
Noticing the terror of the talisman in the Seventh Princess’s hand, the Black Nascent Soul’s face suddenly changed. It immediately flew out of the body of the cultivator and disappeared instantly.
“Teleportation! Damn!”
The Seventh Princess cursed angrily, but there was nothing she could do. The other party had the ability to teleport, and the escape speed was too fast.
“Your Highness, what should we do now?” The remaining two asked in fear.
No one expected to encounter an independent Nascent Soul here.
“Let’s go!”
Although unwilling, the Seventh Princess chose to leave.
She had something that could threaten the opponent, but if she missed and landed in its hands, she might end up stuck here.
But while she wanted to leave, the Black Nascent Soul was not going to let her. A large number of undead guards converged here, launching suicidal attacks, sapping the life force of the few people and obstructing their footsteps.
“All members of the royal family, die!!”
The other teams also began to arrive one after the other. After hearing the commotion inside, they rushed in without hesitation to kill monsters, only to fall into the trap set by the Black Nascent Soul.
“There are so many cultivators actually. This is great. Maybe I can restore my strength to its peak! And then return to settle the score with that old man! Hehe!”
