Chapter 2156: Failed to Save People
We must stop Qingyang, otherwise the formation will reveal a flaw and its power will be reduced. It will be difficult to trap these people at that time. My helpers are still deep in the mine and cannot help stop the enemy for the time being. Once someone escapes, the mine will be completely exposed and the development of things will be out of control. If something goes wrong, my plan may be ruined.
Yang Chi had seen through Zhuge Qianji's thoughts long ago. Seeing that he wanted to get out, he quickly used his means to entangle him tightly. Although Zhuge Qianji was fast in the formation, he could not get rid of Yang Chi's entanglement. He could only watch Qingyang use the sword formation to clean up the remaining low-level corpses.
After tens of thousands of low-level corpses were dealt with, there were only a dozen incarnation monks left in the formation. The Yinming ghost energy, the Yinming ghost energy underground released a little slower, and the entire formation suddenly became clear. Under the guidance of the Flower-faced Granny, Qingyang quickly discovered the weakness of the formation and found the center of the formation. Without further ado, Qingyang quickly mobilized his whole body's true essence and drove the Great Five Elements Sword Formation to kill.
The power of the Great Five Elements Sword Formation was earth-shaking. The formation was like a hurricane, shaking wildly. The Yinming ghost energy from the underground also swarmed out to supplement the formation, but it was still no match for the destruction of the sword formation. Soon, a hole of more than ten feet in size appeared at the center of the formation.
This shocked everyone in the formation. Yang Chi and others re-recognized Qingyang's strength. Gong Yangyu secretly doubted whether it was worth it for him to turn against his opponent this time. Zhuge Qianji regretted that this kid was too strong and far exceeded himself. If there was no suppression of the formation outside, he would be able to destroy the formation with brute force alone, and his side would have no chance of winning.
If I had known, I would have brought all the helpers. At that time, I thought that this group of people were all Divine Transformation cultivators, and with the help of the formation, I could easily deal with them. As a result, I regretted it because of my carelessness. This kid broke a loophole in the formation. Now it is impossible to trap everyone. I can only try to keep as many as possible, and wait until I break through the realm of refining emptiness to deal with the next thing.
Let’s not talk about what Zhuge Qianji thinks for the time being. Seeing the loophole in the formation, the flower-faced grandma and the ingot boy rushed out directly. Both of them are very strong, and the flower-faced grandma is also highly accomplished in the formation. They need to rush out to explore the situation first. If there are still enemies guarding outside, it will be a big deal.
At the same time, Jin Tianliang picked up Ming Tianshu who was seriously injured, and Yang Mei flashed to the side of He Wushou who was attacked by Zhuge Qianji before and was still lying on the ground. He was ready to take the two away together. This was the work that had been divided before. Everyone came together. These people were injured and couldn’t be abandoned, so they should try their best to take them back if they could.
As for Qingyang and Yangchi, they were the strongest and were responsible for the rear guard. At the same time, they had to keep an eye on Zhuge Qianji and the corpse puppets to prevent anyone from being dragged into the formation. Once the loopholes in the formation were closed, it would not be easy to open the gap again. Even if Qingyang could reopen the gap, the people inside would probably have died long ago under the siege of Zhuge Qianji and so many corpse puppets.
Jin Tianliang and Yangmei each led one person, and they were about to rush out of the loopholes in the formation. Suddenly, something strange happened. Ming Tianshu, who was already seriously injured, and He Wushou, who could not move, suddenly moved their hands. A cold light flashed, and they grabbed the people who saved them at the same time. The incident happened too suddenly. No one expected that Ming Tianshu and He Wushou could do such a thing at the critical moment. Naturally, they were completely unprepared.
Yang Mei reacted quickly. She protected her vital parts with her left palm and slapped He Wushou with her right palm. At the same time, she mobilized her whole body's true energy to form a true energy shield around her body. She instinctively took all possible defensive measures. Despite this, He Wushou still made five finger holes on her body, and blood gushed out. Fortunately, she was not injured at all, and her strength was not greatly affected.
Jin Tianliang's reaction was much slower. He hurriedly wanted to throw Ming Tianshu out, but found that the other party's body was tightly attached to him and he couldn't push him out. Although he also formed a true energy shield outside his body, it didn't play much of a role. Ming Tianshu inserted his hands directly into his body, took out Jin Tianliang's heart, and then stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it with blood, as if he was eating a peerless delicacy, not caring about the blood.
For a cultivator at the stage of transformation, although losing a heart will have a certain impact on strength, it will not cost him his life. Jin Tianliang wanted to escape while Ming Tianshu was eating his heart, but the three corpse puppets next to him smelled the blood and rushed over at the same time. Jin Tianliang's strength was damaged after losing his heart, so how could he resist the simultaneous attacks of the three corpse puppets and Ming Tianshu in a hurry? He could not protect the bottom even if he protected the top, and the back even if he protected the front. He was submerged by the corpse puppet in an instant.
In just a short while, the gap in the formation became two or three feet smaller. Seeing that the situation was getting more and more critical, Yang Mei could no longer care about anything else and rushed out of the gap. At this point, only Yang Chi and Qingyang were left in the formation, Jin Tianliang who was submerged by the corpse puppets, and Ming Tianshu and He Wushou who were unable to distinguish between enemies and friends.
After failing to save the person and losing another one, Yang Chi and Qing Yang gave up the idea of saving the person. They decided to take care of themselves first. The remaining gods were hard to save, so they could only let them fend for themselves. So they attacked with a few moves to force back Zhuge Qianji and the surrounding corpses, and took the opportunity to rush out of the gap in the formation.
Just as Yang Chi and Qing Yang rushed out, the formation suddenly fluctuated, and the gap closed at a faster speed, disappearing in an instant. If the two were a breath or two later, they would definitely be trapped inside. The two looked at each other and couldn't help but secretly feel lucky.
There was nothing unusual outside the formation. It was still the mine cave they saw at the beginning. The Flower-faced Granny and the Yuanbao Boy were on guard all around, while Yang Mei was bandaging her wound. Looking at the formation behind, Yang Chi was a little unwilling and said, "Nine of us came here, but only five of us got out safely. Let alone Gong Yangyu, who was in the same group as Zhuge Qianji, the other three were at a great loss."
The Yuanbao Boy said, "Who would have thought that there would be such a powerful formation in the mine cave? We can only blame their bad luck. If we were not as skilled as them, we might have died."
The Flower-faced Granny also said, "There is nothing to regret. If it weren't for my son, I'm afraid everyone would be trapped in the formation, and no one would be able to come out alive. Let's leave here quickly. When Zhuge Qianji completely solves the three people in the formation, he will definitely find a way to deal with us. This formation is very weird. I can't tell what changes will happen later. We can't delay any longer."
