Chapter 523 Murder in the Underground Palace!

Wei Hong was very fast.

And he was very familiar with this tunnel, and soon walked forward more than a hundred feet along the newly dug passage.

At this time, he just came to a three-way intersection, which connected to another tunnel leading to other directions.

"Almost, if we go further, the location of the underground palace will be exposed!"

After arriving here, Wei Hong's footsteps finally stopped.

But his hands did not stop at all. He reached out and touched the storage bag, and a formation plate and several formation flags appeared in his hand. Then he threw them directly, and the formation flags immediately shot out and inserted into several positions in the tunnel at the same time.

At the same time, Wei Hong's spiritual power was injected into the formation plate in his hand.

He kept muttering in his mouth, and several spiritual stones were also thrown to the designated location by him.

The next moment, a white light curtain rose directly at this three-way intersection, connecting the positions of several formation flags, and directly transformed into a light curtain with irregular shape.

"Hehe, it's done!"

Seeing the light curtain appear, Wei Hong couldn't help grinning.

This formation is the first-class middle-grade defensive formation "Four Symbols Formation".

With the formation plate and the formation flag, he can now set up the formation very quickly.

Those actions just now seemed complicated, but in fact they were completed in just a few breaths.

Then, Wei Hong shot a spiritual power on the formation plate, and the white light curtain immediately disappeared. The three-way intersection also immediately returned to its original appearance, and the formation fluctuations did not transmit a single bit.

Wei Hong did not use the formation to hide his figure, but moved forward a little and waited for a while. When he heard the dense and chaotic footsteps behind him, he pretended to continue to flee.

However, his speed had already slowed down, and he only needed to turn around the three-way intersection to immediately see his back.

Sure enough, the next moment Wei Hong heard the shouting from behind.

"Quick, I can sense the man's breath again. He's in front. Let's catch up."

The middle-aged man in the blue robe had a more and more angry look on his face. He wanted to catch up with Wei Hong and teach him a lesson.

When he first entered the tunnel, it was impossible not to worry. The middle-aged man was also very careful, fearing that there were traps waiting for them.

But he observed that the tunnel was newly dug, not even more than a day, which meant that such a tunnel should not be likely to be trapped, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

And after chasing for a distance, the middle-aged man found that there were indeed no traps.

In this way, the middle-aged man was completely relieved, and their pursuit speed was greatly improved. Soon they saw a three-way intersection in front, and at this time the middle-aged man also sensed the breath that Wei Hong deliberately exposed.

So the middle-aged man shouted excitedly and immediately accelerated his pursuit, wanting to catch up with Wei Hong immediately after turning the right-angle turn in front, and the more than ten monks behind him also followed his pace.

Naturally, more than ten cultivators, led by the middle-aged man, stepped into the "Four Symbols Formation" arranged by Wei Hong.

"Hey, stay here!"

Wei Hong turned around suddenly, looking very excited.

He immediately controlled the formation plate and activated the formation with all his strength.

Then a white solid light curtain immediately appeared around the middle-aged man and others, covering them all.

"Formation?!!"

The middle-aged man immediately stopped with a change of expression.

And the more than ten cultivators behind him were even more panicked, and they couldn't help but look a little confused.

No one expected that a formation would suddenly appear at this narrow fork in the road, and they all stepped into the formation, obviously being ambushed by the enemy.

However, the middle-aged man in the lead was not panicked, and reacted very quickly. He immediately shouted: "Quick, everyone, go all out and break this formation together!"

All formations have an upper limit. Once the attack on the formation exceeds the upper limit it can bear, the formation will be broken and completely ineffective.

The middle-aged man had this idea, and he didn't believe that this formation could stop more than ten of them from attacking together.

After saying that, the middle-aged man immediately made a gesture with both hands to prepare for casting a spell, and the more than ten cultivators behind him also suddenly realized and hurriedly followed suit.

But since Wei Hong had already calculated it, how could he give them a chance to break the formation?

He waved his hand and the spiritual power in his body was quickly mobilized.

At this moment, more than 20 sharp earth spikes broke out of the ground in the formation at the fork in the road, and stabbed the middle-aged man and others from bottom to top, which seemed both abrupt and terrifying.

Not only that, there was also water mist in the formation, and the next moment, dozens of blue water arrows emerged from thin air, and shot fiercely at the middle-aged man and others with the earth thorn technique.

"No, get out of the way!"

The middle-aged man was horrified when he saw this, and finally panicked.

He roared, and the spell that had not yet been prepared was not released in time. The whole person immediately jumped to the side, and a layer of yellow light appeared on his body at the same time.

The other dozen monks were even more horrified, and no one expected that the opponent's casting speed would be so fast.

So they no longer cared about casting spells to bombard the formation, but used various means to dodge, and did not dare to hide the defensive talismans and defensive magic tools in their hands, and all used them desperately.

But Wei Hong's choice of battlefield was not without reason. This fork in the road was not spacious. At this time, more than ten middle-aged men were crowded together. Even if they wanted to dodge, there was not much space at all, not to mention that the "Four Symbols Formation" also limited their dodge range.

As Wei Hong expected, a shrill scream came from the formation the next moment.

"Ah!!"

"Senior Lan, help me!"

"Help me!"

Six or seven cultivators in the middle stage of Qi training were either unable to dodge and were pierced by earth spikes, or were pierced by water arrows with several blood holes.

The smell of blood spread immediately, and four of the cultivators who were hit by earth spikes and water arrows died on the spot.

Only the middle-aged cultivator in the late stage of Qi training relied on his higher cultivation and several defensive talismans in his hands to block the bombardment of two earth spikes and five water arrows without being injured.

However, this also made the middle-aged man horrified. He had no time to regret at this time. His thoughts changed drastically and he immediately made the most correct response.

He raised his flying sword, concentrated most of his spiritual power into the flying sword, and then slashed at the formation in front of him, trying to use it to cut a way to escape.

The middle-aged man already understood that if he didn't escape now, he might never have a chance to escape!
