Chapter 42 - 42: Foreign Cultivators Bullying Me? (2)
“Don’t worry, the Ye Family’s treasure vault has a large number of medicinal pills. They’re usually supplied to the wives and concubines of the Ye Family’s Patriarch to enjoy. We’ll definitely gain a lot this time.”
Everyone looked at each other and smiled. Then, they swaggered into the Ye Family courtyard.
“That should be it. That’s where the warehouse is!”
The few of them searched for a while and quickly found a huge warehouse on the west side of the courtyard. Then, their eyes erupted with excitement.
At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew around them. Then, the fire torches and light pagodas in the entire courtyard were instantly extinguished, and the world fell into darkness.
“What’s going on!”
“What happened?!”
The men in black were all shocked. They gathered together and stood back to back, vigilant of their surroundings.
“Oh no, it’s an illusory formation!!!”
“Boss, we’ve fallen into an illusory formation!”
Soon, someone in the team finally noticed the abnormality and exclaimed.
“What?!”
“Illusory Formation!”
“How is this possible?! When did this happen?!”
Everyone was stunned. They had no idea when they had entered the illusory formation.
Crackle—
At this moment, a huge light source suddenly appeared in the sky, enveloping all of them and illuminating the entire space!
At this moment, the five men in black realized that they were actually trapped in a huge cage.
The warehouse beside them had disappeared, and so had the huge courtyard in front of them. There was nothing outside the cage, only an endless void.
At this moment, the five of them were like rats in the dark. They were suddenly pulled into the sunlight and were about to be publicly executed. The five of them were completely enveloped in great fear!
At this moment, there was only one question in their minds—damn it, why was there such a huge illusory formation here!!!
“Boss, what should we do…
A thin man in black was trembling in fear and completely at a loss.
“What else can we do?!”
“Kill our way out!”
“It’s just an illusory formation. I don’t believe it can trap the five of us!”
The burly man in the lead tore off his black robe, revealing his strong muscles.
The next moment, he took out a huge hammer from his storage ring and smashed it down ruthlessly on the cage in front of him— Bam!
Bam!
Bam!
The terrifying hammer landed three times, but it did not cause any damage to the surrounding cage. It did not not even leave a single mark on the thick bars of the cage.
“Damn it!!”
“What is the level of this illusory formation?!”
The few of them stared in disbelief.
It was not like they had not encountered an illusory formation before, but an illusory formation was essentially still a formation. As long as they had enough strength, they should be able to tear the formation apart.
And now, their boss had attacked with all his might, but he could not cause any damage to this formation. Could it be that this formation was a Level 2 formation?
“Continue, everyone, attack!”
“Maintaining the formation consumes a large number of spirit stones. As long as the recharging by spirit stones can’t keep up, we have a chance to break the formation!”
Just as everyone was in a daze, their boss shouted.
“Alright!”
When everyone heard this, they felt that it made sense and prepared to attack.
At this moment.
Thunder suddenly rumbled in the sky, and dark clouds that flickered with purple light gathered. Rumble— Crackle—
Purple lightning continuously fell, striking the ground and creating charred craters.
“Damn it!”
“What’s that!”
“There’s actually another formation! How is this possible!”
“Damn it! Is the Ye Family Patriarch crazy? Where did he get so many formations?”
“Isn’t he an independent cultivator???”
“Ten Thousand Flower City doesn’t have any Formation Masters either!
The few men in black instantly began to curse.
This was completely different from what they had expected!
Logically speaking, the Ye Family Patriarch had just risen and did not have much substance!
Formations were even more precious than medicinal pills. After all, medicinal pills were single-use consumables. Although the price was high, in order for the medicinal pills to be sold, the price was within a reasonable range.
However, a formation was different.
Even if a Formation Master was hired to set up a Level 1 formation, it would cost at least thousands of low-grade spirit stones. This was also the payment to the Formation Master for setting up the formation!
If the materials were included, it was definitely impossible to accomplish this without more than 10,000 low-grade spirit stones!
Damn it!
How could an independent cultivator and a wild alchemist accumulate so much wealth in such a short period of time??
All the men in black were stunned.
Boom!
The entire space shook.
The five unlucky fellows were chased by countless lightning bolts in the trapping formation. They covered their heads and ran around, crying their heads off.
Although this lightning was only ordinary lightning, when it struck these cultivators, their skin and flesh were still split open. The air instantly filled with the aroma of roasted meat.
“This can’t go on!”
“Boss, quickly think of something. Otherwise, we’ll all die here!”
One of the men in black shed tears and kept using his spiritual energy to resist.
However, the power of lightning was one of the strongest natural forces. Coupled with fact that these thunderbolts had been enhanced by Ye Xuan’s formation, the penetration power was extremely strong. Even if most of the power had been blocked, it still had great power when it landed on these men in black.
“What can we do? Find the eye of the formation!” “If we can’t find the eye of the formation, we’ll all die here!”
The leader of the men in black cursed.
He was the strongest and suffered the least damage, but the spiritual energy in his body was still depleting rapidly. He could only last for an hour at most.
Cultivators without spiritual energy were just stronger mortals. A bolt of lightning would kill them.
When the other men in black heard this, they all forced themselves to calm down, wanting to find the eye of the formation.
After all, it was only a Level 1 formation. It was not like they had not experienced it before. However, this time, they had originally come here to launch a sneak attack, but they were trapped in a formation. Clearly, they had definitely been discovered. Who knew if there were already a large number of law enforcers waiting for them outside.
However, this was not something they could think about now. As long as they could get out, there was still a chance of survival.
Meanwhile, in the outside world.
Ye Xuan saw the power of his formation with his own eyes, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
“Trying to find the eye of the formation is a good method.”
“However, my Celestial Formation has just begun. How can I let you little white mice escape so quickly?”
Ye Xuan chuckled and triggered all the remaining formations.
“Hu hu hu—”
In the next moment, a violent wind blew within the space of the entire formation. The five unlucky people were directly blown by the violent gusts of wind until they could not stand steadily and fell to the ground.
“Damn it!”
“What kind of formation is this!”
“There is thunder, lightning and also gales of wind. He must be crazy!” The leader of the men in black cursed angrily.
Just now, he had already found two locations which he suspected to be the eye of the formation. Just when he was about to destroy them, he was blown away by the strong wind. No one could bear this!
“Boss!”
Suddenly, a voice of alarm came from behind.
“Boss…”
“If I’m not wrong, we might have fallen into a formation within a formation…”
“We’re surrounded!”
A thin man in black came to the side of the black-robed leader against the strong gusts of wind and said in a trembling voice.
“What?!”
“Are you fucking kidding me??”
The leader of the men in black also widened his eyes in disbelief.
They had originally thought that this was just a formation, so they resisted desperately and searched for the eye of the formation.
However, if this was a formation within a formation, then what was the point of looking for it? They could just wait for death!
In the next moment, as if to verify the words of the thin man in black, the ground suddenly began to tremble.
In the sky, rain fell and quickly turned into a downpour, which was even mixed with countless fireballs.
Then, the ground began to tremble slowly, and terrifying cracks appeared.
Violent winds, torrential rain, thunder and lightning, earthquakes, meteorites falling from the sky!
A terrifying natural disaster instantly descended, drowning everyone in it.
