Chapter 158 Formation
Lu Xuan sat cross-legged on the ground, the Primordial Pearl within his body slowly rotating.
Streams of pure, chaotic spiritual energy flowed through his meridians to his limbs and bones.
The comminuted fracture on his left shoulder was healing at a visible speed under the nourishment of the chaotic spiritual energy.
About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea has passed.
Lu Xuan slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air tinged with the smell of blood.
Although his injuries have not fully healed, his combat strength has recovered to about 70-80%.
That's enough for the current situation.
He turned his head and glanced at Su Qinghuan, who had been standing guard beside him with a worried expression.
"Since you were able to find this place by looking at the rankings, then everyone else is probably heading this way too."
Lu Xuan's voice was calm, without the slightest hint of panic.
It was as if what was about to arrive was not a group of powerful enemies who wanted him dead, but a group of prey that came to his doorstep.
Su Qinghuan's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.
"You mean Dugu Jian and Liu Han?"
"They certainly won't let this opportunity slip by."
"So what do we do now? Should we retreat first? There's only one entrance to this seventh floor. If it gets blocked, we'll really be trapped."
Su Qinghuan gripped the long sword tightly in her hand.
Lu Xuan shook his head.
"Withdraw? Why withdraw?"
"Since they want to come, then let them come."
"However, it's still uncertain who the turtle is."
As Lu Xuan spoke, he pulled out a whole bunch of things.
"Protect me."
He gave a low shout and then began to move.
His hands moved with incredible speed, and he quickly embedded these materials into the ground around the arena, following some extremely mysterious rules.
With each piece of material falling, the ground would tremble slightly.
Su Qinghuan stood aside, watching Lu Xuan's actions, her confusion growing.
Although she knew a little about formations, she couldn't understand the formation that Lu Xuan had set up at the moment.
After Lu Xuan finished setting up the last item.
"Buzz!"
A faint smell of blood began to permeate the air.
A strange red light faintly appeared on the originally gray ground.
Su Qinghuan felt a chill run through her body, and her spiritual energy stagnated for a moment.
It was as if something was suppressing it.
"Lu Xuan—what—what kind of formation is this?"
Su Qinghuan couldn't help but ask.
Lu Xuan dusted off his hands, stood up, looked at the completed formation in front of him, and nodded in satisfaction.
"This formation is called the Asura Blood Refining Formation."
"It's a remnant formation. Although incomplete, it's enough to deal with this group."
As he spoke, Lu Xuan turned around, looked at Su Qinghuan, and his tone became somewhat deep.
"Do you know what makes this formation so terrifying?"
Su Qinghuan shook her head and subconsciously took half a step back, feeling uncomfortable with her instinctive fear.
Lu Xuan pointed to the faintly flowing red light beneath his feet.
"This formation neither traps nor kills people."
"It only does one thing, and that is—stripping."
"Once the formation is activated, the blood, spiritual power, and even the soul of the person inside the formation will be forcibly extracted and transformed into the purest energy to nourish the master of the formation."
"In other words, the more people who enter here, and the stronger they are, the greater the benefits I can obtain."
"From the moment they step into this place, they will begin to become my nourishment."
After hearing Lu Xuan's explanation, Su Qinghuan couldn't help but gasp.
This formation is simply a demonic technique!
That's so cruel!
However, looking at Lu Xuan's cold profile, she did not feel any aversion.
Instead, a strange sense of security rose in my heart.
In a world where the strong prey on the weak, being merciful to your enemies is being cruel to yourself.
Lu Xuan did this simply to survive.
"Alright, the formation has been set up."
"Now, all we need to do is wait quietly for our guests to come."
Lu Xuan sat down cross-legged again and closed his eyes to rest.
at the same time.
Outside the Heavenly Spirit Pagoda.
Several powerful auras descended upon the place almost simultaneously.
"Whoosh!"
A sharp sword light slashed through the sky, landing on the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.
Dugu Jian, dressed in white and carrying a long sword, walked out with an arrogant expression.
His gaze was fixed on the entrance ahead, his eyes filled with undisguised killing intent.
"Lu Xuan is inside."
"He must be seriously injured; he can't escape."
Dugu Jian was absolutely certain of this.
Even if Lu Xuan's combat power is superb, it is impossible for him to pass the fifth level of Tianyuan without taking any damage.
Just then.
"Giggle giggle————"
A charming laugh came from the other side.
"Oh, isn't this Senior Brother Dugu from Heavenly Sword Peak?"
"What? You're interested in that kid too?"
As the sound faded, a fragrant breeze wafted over.
Liu Han swayed her serpentine waist and slowly walked over with several disciples from Dan Ding Peak.
She was still toying with the colorful venomous snake in her hand, looking at Dugu Jian with a mocking expression.
Dugu Jian frowned, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes.
"Liu Han, stay away from me."
"The stench you emanate is truly nauseating."
This is clearly a sign of disdain for Liu Han's body covered in poison.
Upon hearing this, Liu Han's smile froze instantly, and a hint of hatred flashed in her eyes.
"Hmph, what are you pretending to be so high and mighty for?"
"Our goal is the same: to kill that brat Lu Xuan, isn't it?"
"What? Are you planning to go alone?"
Dugu Jian snorted coldly, not even bothering to glance at her.
"Lu Xuan's life is mine, and his points are mine too."
"Get out of here if you don't want to die."
"you!"
Liu Han's chest heaved violently with anger, and the venomous snake in her hand hissed.
It looked like it would pounce and bite someone at any moment.
Just as the two were about to draw their swords.
Another series of footsteps approached.
A burly, bald man with a face full of scars led a group of disciples dressed in the uniforms of the Array Peak over.
This person is none other than Wang Ba, the ace of the Formation Peak who has suppressed his cultivation level to participate in this competition.
"What's all the noise about?"
"I could hear you barking like dogs from far away."
"They haven't even seen the person yet, and they're already fighting amongst themselves. What a bunch of useless trash."
Wang Ba, carrying a huge mountain-splitting axe, looked at Dugu Jian and Liu Han with disdain.
"Wang Ba, do you want to die?"
Dugu Jian's hand was already on the hilt of his sword, and his sword intent erupted instantly.
Liu Han's eyes were also cold, and the venomous snake in her hand was poised to strike.
These three groups had long disliked each other within the sect, and their grudges had been brewing for a long time.
Although they have come together for the same goal, the atmosphere of mutual hostility has not diminished at all.
Wang Ba, however, was not afraid at all. He grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.
"Want to fight?"
"I'm all in!"
