Chapter 149: Internal Strife

After staring at Xiao Mian for a long while with a gloomy look, Lu Chengzhi suddenly smiled faintly.

"What does Junior Brother Xiao mean? Why did you seal me in this unknown formation? Could it be that Junior Brother Xiao is planning to deal with me as well?"

When Lu Chengzhi said this, he was completely calm and gentle, with a bit of Lu Chengfeng's demeanor in the past.

Seeing that Lu Chengzhi had regained his composure so quickly, Xiao Mian smiled bitterly, but said unequivocally: "How could that be? Even if I had the courage of a bear or a leopard, I would not dare to commit such a crime of 'killing my fellow disciples'!"

"Then you want to..."

"As long as Senior Brother Lu helps me and Senior Sister Huangfu kill the unscrupulous cultivator, I will naturally withdraw the formation and send you off!"

The reason why Xiao Mian had not been going all out against Li Xueru was that he was waiting for Lu Chengzhi's stab from behind, and even letting Huangfu Ling entangle Liu Erhuai in a stalemate before was to lure Lu Chengzhi to take action.

Judging from Lu Chengzhi's big plan, he was determined to kill Xiao Mian. Xiao Mian was sure that Lu Chengzhi would definitely follow him out of the auction.

However, the opponent's strength was indeed superb, and even the soul of the ghost head could not accurately capture his position. Xiao Mian had no choice but to lure him to take action.

Sure enough, when Huangfu Ling and Liu Erhuai were in a stalemate and Xiao Mian was about to kill Li Xueru, Lu Chengzhi finally couldn't help but take action - if Xiao Mian successfully killed Li Xueru and then joined forces with Huangfu Ling to kill Liu Erhuai, although Lu Chengzhi was one step ahead of Huangfu Ling, he was weak and might not succeed.

As for letting the Black Ice Shield rush towards the direction where Lu Chengzhi's golden flying sword was shot, it was because the Black Ice Shield contained the last central array disk of the Nine-Bend Sky River Array. This array disk was used to activate the Nine-Bend Sky River Array and locate the range of the array. Therefore, after the Black Ice Shield endured Lu Chengzhi's attack, it included the opponent in the range of the Nine-Bend Sky River Array and activated this enemy-trapping array that even Lu Chengzhi couldn't break, trapping him to death in the array and forcing him to show up and meet Xiao Mian.

But at this moment, something strange happened.

Lv Chengzhi's arrival naturally did not escape the eyes of Huangfu Ling and Liu Erhuai. Because of Huangfu Ling's overly conservative fighting style, the fight between the two has become more and more relaxed. It is better to say that it is a competition between fellow disciples rather than a fight of life and death. Originally, Liu Erhuai was anxious but not anxious. Now that he saw Lv Chengzhi and heard that he was trapped in a large formation, he was shocked and furious. He was desperate.

After forcing Huangfu Ling to retreat with a heavy blow, Liu Erhuai took out three small black balls from his storage bag in one breath. He did not attack Huangfu Ling, but threw them behind him. Xiao Mian saw that the small ball seemed familiar, and then his face changed drastically, but before he could change the Nine-Bend Heavenly River Formation, three consecutive booms spread throughout the venue, a cloud of black smoke filled the air, and a flash of fire suddenly appeared, and the entire Nine-Bend Heavenly River Formation trembled violently.

That was the Fire Thunder Bead!

Inspired by this, Xiao Mian asked Fu Qingqiong to help him find a powerful lightning bead that Liu Sanhuai used to break Wei Laohei's black wind robe. In the end, he used the silver light explosive bomb to disguise as the three flowers gathering pill to severely injure Yuanxu.

Unexpectedly, today, Liu Erhuai not only has the lightning bead, but also threw out three at once, obviously spending a lot of money. But the Nine-Bend Sky River Formation can be treasured by Fang Ru, a formation master who is a Jindan strongman, how can it be shaken by ordinary lightning beads?

After the black smoke dissipated and the flames disappeared, the Nine-Bend Sky River Formation was intact, but the spiritual energy of the spirit stones in the formation plate was lost, and it was afraid that it would not last long.

Seeing that his three lightning beads could not break the formation, Liu Erhuai looked gloomy: he naturally knew that his lightning beads were only second-level products, but the power of the explosion of three lightning beads stacked together was not much less than that of ordinary third-level fire lightning beads, but it still could not make the formation reveal even a corner of the flaw, which could only mean that the formation that trapped him was at least a high-end fourth-level product, and he was afraid that he would be in danger today.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Lu Chengfeng nodded to Liu Erhuai.

"This fellow Taoist must be the famous Liu Erhuai in the market, right?" Before Liu Erhuai could say anything, Lu Chengzhi said to himself: "Liu Erge is a wise man. Now my junior brother has trapped me in the formation, which obviously has ulterior motives. You and I are both trapped in his formation, and it will take a long time to break it. For now, why don't we join forces! Don't worry, Liu Erge: our Five Elements Sect will not pursue this matter after the incident!"

"Lu Chengzhi! Are you crazy? How dare you collude with outsiders to harm your fellow disciples?"

Huangfu Ling looked at Lu Chengzhi with disbelief, while Xiao Mian was thoughtful but didn't say a word.

Lu Chengzhi didn't even look at Huangfu Ling, but just looked at Liu Erhuai. Seeing Liu Erhuai's expression flickering, he smiled with certainty.

"Since Liu is in the market, he should be well-informed. He should have heard about the recent situation of my Five Elements Sect. Soon, the Five Elements Sect will become the property of my Lu Family and Demon Shadow Sect. The two of them have a deep hatred for my Lu Family. In addition, they are from different factions. Kill them. In the future, my Lu Family will not only not pursue the matter, but also thank Liu for his help today! If there is a chance, you might as well join my Five Elements Sect..."

"Humph! Let's talk about the future later. Since you also want to kill these two people, let's cooperate. Anyway, after this matter, I plan to fly to Wanzongyuan. As for who will gain power and profit in your Five Elements Sect in the future, it is not my turn to manage!"

Liu Erhuai's words clearly meant that he agreed to Lu Chengzhi's proposal. Although he didn't believe that Lu Chengzhi would really let him go afterwards, if he didn't agree, he would probably die now.

Lu Chengzhi was overjoyed when he heard this and signaled Liu Erhuai to continue to entangle Huangfu Ling. However, he himself cast his eyes on Xiao Mian and made sure to kill him here today.

Huangfu Ling, who had fought with Lu Chengzhi, was naturally very clear about Lu Chengzhi's strength. He was afraid that he was more than one level higher than her. If Xiao Mian hadn't helped her in time last time, she would have been injured by Lu Chengzhi.

Now the situation has changed, and he was entangled by Liu Erhuai in turn. With Xiao Mian's cultivation at the initial stage of the foundation-building period, could he really save his life under Lu Chengzhi's attack?

With this in mind, Huangfu Ling wanted to fight quickly, but now the situation has reversed, and Liu Erhuai has become passively defensive, just to entangle Huangfu Ling; although Huangfu Ling is fast, Liu Erhuai also has a rather strange mysterious footwork, which is not very useful for long-distance travel, but is very useful for fighting in a small range.

In addition, Huangfu Ling does not have a killer move powerful enough to threaten Liu Erhuai's life, so that Liu Erhuai would rather suffer minor injuries than let Huangfu Ling leave his battle group.

Putting aside the moral good and evil, from a tactical perspective, Liu Erhuai is definitely a good teammate.

"Senior sister, please be patient!" While speaking, Xiao Mian's eyes were already fixed on Lu Chengzhi. Seeing that Lu Chengzhi looked at him as if he were a dead person, Xiao Mian smiled casually: "Senior sister, just take care of yourself, so as not to distract me!"

Xiao Mian's words were unclear, but his meaning was very clear: he wanted to fight Lu Chengzhi alone!
