Chapter 435 One last trick before you leave
The original valley and forests vanished instantly, replaced by a sky full of yellow sand and howling winds, which instantly obscured divine sense and vision!
"Array?!"
Ma Hongren was shocked.
He never expected that this little girl was not only exceptionally talented, but also proficient in formations!
Moreover, judging from this formation, it is definitely not an ordinary illusion formation!
His peak Nascent Soul spiritual power erupted, and he punched the yellow sand that filled the sky.
However, the force of the punch was like a mud ox entering the sea, only causing the yellow sand to churn more violently, while the formation barrier remained completely unmoved.
Immediately afterwards, the ground beneath his feet suddenly collapsed, turning into an endless swamp, and a powerful suction force pulled him away.
A fiery meteorite fell from the sky, and countless golden sword energies appeared out of thin air all around him, shooting towards him!
This is no simple illusion array; it is clearly a superposition of multiple arrays!
The illusion formation, the trapping formation, and the killing formation are interlocked, forming a complex killing scheme!
Ma Hongren was both shocked and furious. He found that he was unable to forcefully break through this strange composite formation in a short period of time!
Left with no other choice, he could only channel his spiritual energy to create layers of defense around himself to withstand the continuous attacks, while simultaneously searching for the location of the array's core.
He charged left and right within the formation like a trapped beast, roaring loudly, his sword energy crisscrossing, causing the formation's light barrier to shake violently.
On the other side, Shen Rugo had already taken advantage of the chaos to attach an invisibility talisman, concealing all her aura and hiding behind a boulder, her eyes wide as she observed the effect of the formation.
Seeing Ma Hongren, a powerful expert at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, running around like a headless fly in the formation she had set up, getting all disheveled and covered in dust, she was overjoyed. Her little face was full of smugness: "Hmph, let you chase me! Let you try to catch me!"
Just then, the others from Misty Peak followed the commotion and rushed to the outside of the valley.
They couldn't see the invisible Shen Rugo, nor could they see the strange phenomena within the formation. They only saw their elder standing alone in the center of the valley, sometimes punching the air, sometimes leaping through the air to dodge the void, and sometimes raising a spiritual energy shield as if to resist the attack, while constantly roaring and cursing loudly.
"What's wrong with Elder Ma?"
"Is he possessed by an evil spirit? Or has he gone mad from practicing qi cultivation?"
"Wait a minute, everything was fine just now..."
The disciples of Misty Peak looked at each other, yet found the scene before them somewhat comical.
Several Golden Core stage disciples mustered their courage and stood at the edge of the valley, shouting loudly, "Elder Ma! What happened?"
Ma Hongren, who was inside the formation, was being forced into a frenzy by a sharp sword aura when he suddenly heard the shouts of the disciples outside, which made him even angrier.
He could hear the sounds outside, but couldn't see anyone or rush out. This feeling of frustration almost drove him crazy, and his cold shout went unanswered.
Shen Rugo felt she had played enough tricks and didn't want to make enemies with Misty Peak. This Ma Hongren was actually quite good.
With a thought, she manipulated the array plate to remove the array.
The illusion vanished instantly, and the valley returned to normal.
Ma Hongren felt a blur before his eyes, and when he looked closely, he found himself standing perfectly fine in the valley, with no yellow sand swamp or blazing sword energy around him.
At the entrance to the valley, all the disciples of Misty Peak were gathered there, looking at him with strange eyes and their faces displaying a variety of expressions.
Realizing that his disciples had witnessed his disheveled appearance, Ma Hongren's face flushed red, then turned ashen. "What are you looking at! Get out of here!"
He was trembling with rage, his hair and beard standing on end, like a furious lion. "Anyone who dares to spread even a word about what just happened will be punished according to the sect rules!"
The disciples were so frightened that they fell silent, quickly lowering their heads, but their shoulders trembled slightly involuntarily.
Ma Hongren frantically scanned the entire valley with his divine sense, but could no longer find any trace of Shen Rugo.
He stomped his foot hard, and a crack immediately appeared in the ground. He knew very well that he had been completely tricked by that strange little girl!
"go!"
With gritted teeth, Ma Hongren led the people of Piaomiao Peak away quickly.
In the shadows, Shen Rugo watched the people from Misty Peak leave, gaining even more confidence in the effectiveness of her formation.
She remained invisible, carefully avoiding the constantly appearing cultivators, and stealthily made her way towards the Burial Immortal Valley.
When she arrived silently at the outskirts of Burial Immortal Valley, she found that all the sects had already left, and only the people of Qingyuan Sect were still gathered there, the atmosphere was terrifyingly oppressive.
Wu Yuanshan paced back and forth like a madman, sometimes roaring to the sky, sometimes pounding his chest and stamping his feet, cursing incessantly: "Shen Rugo! You damned little bastard! Star Palace! My Qingyuan Sect will never let you get away with this!"
"More than a thousand disciples! Gone just like that! Gone!"
"It's all my fault! I underestimated that little bitch!"
"Wu Yuanshan! You are unworthy to be the sect leader! You have failed our ancestors!"
He appeared to be insane, and the elders and disciples around him trembled in fear.
Hiding in the shadows, Shen Rugo listened to Wu Yuanshan's frantic shouts and curses, but she was relieved to find that the people from the Star Palace had left safely and had not been harmed by the Qingyuan Sect.
Just as she was about to slip away quietly, a thought popped into her head: "This old devil has killed so many people and is still trying to scheme against me and my sect. I can't let him get away with this so easily! Even if I can't beat him, it'll be good to annoy him!"
She smiled slyly, her figure as elusive as a ghost, and silently arrived at a narrow intersection on the only route the Qingyuan Sect members would take to leave the Burial Immortal Valley.
The terrain here is treacherous, with steep cliffs on both sides and only a passage a few meters wide in the middle.
She quietly got to work, cleverly setting up the arrays she had previously drawn, combining them with the terrain: the Illusionary Array, the Nine Palaces Trapping Array, the Lesser Five Elements Sword Array, the Nine Dragons Departing Fire Array...
Layer upon layer, a total of seven or eight sets of formations were laid out, and several powerful Five Thunderbolts Talismans and Earth Fire Burning Heaven Talismans were buried at key nodes as trigger traps.
After doing all this, she applied the invisibility talisman again and hid on a hillside with a great view in the distance, ready to watch the show.
Sure enough, not long after, Wu Yuanshan, whose emotions had calmed down a bit, finally led the remaining less than five hundred members of the Qingyuan Sect, with a grim face, to return to the sect dejectedly.
When they walked into that narrow passage without any precautions,
"Buzz!"
The outermost illusion array was triggered first!
In an instant, the passage was filled with mist, and the scenery changed. The Qingyuan Sect members felt dizzy and the people around them disappeared instantly, and they were trapped in an endless misty forest.
"Oh no! An ambush! It's a formation!"
Someone screamed in horror.
However, before they could react, the trapping formation and the killing formation were activated one after another!
The ground suddenly became muddy and slippery, and a powerful suction force came from underfoot, making it difficult for disciples with lower cultivation levels to move.
Countless ice spikes, fireballs, and boulders rained down from the sky.
Even more terrifying, countless sharp golden sword energies burst forth from the void, seemingly possessing a spirit, and slashed and killed towards the densely populated areas!
"what!"
"Help!"
"my leg!"
Screams rose and fell, and the formation felt like the end of the world.
Caught off guard, the members of the Qingyuan Sect were instantly thrown into chaos and panic.
The Qi Refining stage disciples were almost powerless to resist, and dozens of them were killed or injured in the blink of an eye.
The Foundation Establishment cultivators could barely protect themselves, while the Golden Core cultivators fought desperately against the array's barriers, attempting to break through.
Wu Yuanshan walked at the very front of the group, and was the first to be caught in the core of the killing formation.
Countless sword energies, ground spikes, and flames surged towards him. Although he blocked these attacks, he was still in a sorry state.
"Who is it?! Show yourself to me!"
