Chapter 66: Sudden Descent

  In the jungle, a group of people are moving quickly. With serious expressions, they will soon face a battle, and the team seems depressed, with everyone in silence.

  The camp still had half of the people left, enough for defense, to prevent the enemy from sneaking up and attacking, while the convoy was also slowly following, keeping a relative distance. If something urgent really happened, both sides could still respond to each other. Wang Shilin led dozens of people in a charge, including one fifth-rank Open Pulse strongman, two fourth-rank Condensed Yuan cultivators, and the rest were mostly third-rank Tongli stage cultivators. This battle force was already strong enough, many small sects, except for the sect master who was a sixth-rank Zongshi, had no more than this number of disciples.

  "You said those heretic disciples, why do they target our convoy? Although the goods inside are valuable, they are extremely inconvenient to carry. Even if we manage to take them down in the end, the benefits we can gain will not be great." Huang Wei suddenly whispered.

  "He's a disciple of the evil sect, what else can be said? They're all a bunch of madmen who have lost their conscience!" Li Yan frowned and said, perhaps due to some past stories, Li Yan was most disgusted with those people.

  "Don't be blinded by hatred, if a fight breaks out later, pay attention to your safety." Meng Ran said as he turned back.

  "Brother Meng is right, and you must avoid those two 4th-stage experts. Today's situation seems strange, those two are extremely confident, I'm afraid there's a trick in it, we need to be careful ourselves." Shen Cong said seriously, the three of them nodded in unison.

  Half an hour later, the crowd's pace slowed down, and people could be seen swaying in the distance. At the same time, a mighty aura rose up, which was the complete opening of that formation.

  "Welcome, heroes! I'm afraid I didn't come to greet you from afar, please forgive me!" A soft and charming voice rang out, as Lü Ying's figure floated in mid-air, smiling slyly at the crowd.

  "They're all just a bunch of good-for-nothings, what heroes and great men!" Wei Ba appeared on top of a large tree, laughing loudly. As the two of them appeared, several figures emerged from behind, roughly estimated to be around dozens of people, comparable in number to those from the Luoshui Sect.

  Wang Shilin took a step forward, "Release the five people you've captured, and we'll discuss other matters!" Wang Shilin was straightforward, unwilling to say more.

  Lü Ying looked at Wang Shi Lin, suddenly smiled, "Senior really loves to joke, the people I caught with great difficulty, how can they be let go so easily? Moreover, even if I wanted to release them, now they can't leave anyway."

  "What do you want to say!" Wang Shilin's eyelids slightly lifted.

  "I was in this formation just now, and those five people were inside. If you want to save them, Senior, you can enter the formation right away. I think with your cultivation, breaking the formation should be easy." Lü Ying smiled lightly, and a brilliant light rose up from behind her, with Zhou Hao and the other four people inside. At this moment, they saw Wang Shi Lin and the others, and struggled violently in excitement.

  "If you enter the array, wouldn't that be just as you wished?" Zhao Shi sneered. Wang Shilin didn't say anything, but his meaning was clearly expressed - how could he possibly fall into such a trap?

  "Whether or not to enter the formation is up to your will, but now that you don't want to, these five people have lost their purpose." Lü Ying's face revealed a strange smile, and her slender palm suddenly clenched upwards. The five people in the formation froze, and then suddenly exploded without warning. Flesh and blood scattered throughout the formation, and even from a distance, everyone could smell the bloody stench.

  No one had expected such a change, and even Wang Shilin was stunned. His fingers trembled slightly, and at this moment, no matter how foolish he was, he knew that the person in front of him was fooling him, and the other party didn't have any intention of negotiating at all, but only wanted to provoke everyone.

  "Thief!" Wang Shilin's expression was as calm as dead water, his figure appeared in the distance, a loud rumbling sound echoed through the air, he was suspended in mid-air, and one fist struck towards Lü Ying.

  "Senior, you're in a hurry, I'm not ready yet." Lü Ying let out a soft laugh, as if she had anticipated Wang Shilang's move. She pointed her finger forward slightly, and a whip-like object shot out from behind, blocking Lü Ying's path.

  "Boom!"

  An explosion sounded, and the red screen barrier was punched in by Wang Shilin with one fist, only a thread away from touching Lü Ying, but ultimately still fell short. Wang Shilin's eyes narrowed slightly; this screen barrier was transmitted by that formation, although it was ingenious, its power was limited after all. Wang Shilin's heart actually let out a sigh of relief. If these evil sect disciples relied solely on these tricks, then the ultimate victory would be theirs for certain.

  "Everybody rush up!"

  Lin Liting let out a soft cry, and was the first to charge forward. A palm thunderbolt exploded in the midst of the opposing crowd. The Thunder Technique had always been the fastest among all techniques. The group of evil sect disciples did not have time to defend themselves, and were immediately injured by this explosion, with several of them getting hurt.

  "You little vixen, dare to hurt someone? I'll play with you till the end!" Wei Ba looked at Lin Liting, a sly smile flashing across his face as he charged over fiercely.

  "With that body of yours, you dare to call yourself a big shot? What a joke!" Lin Liting sneered, her palm striking out with lightning speed. Wei Ba laughed loudly and didn't even bother to defend himself, directly punching out with one fist and extinguishing the electric sparks entirely.

  Both sides rushed at each other like a flood, directly colliding and starting to fight. The number of people on both sides was originally not much different, but now they were evenly matched.

  Longyan sword lightly hummed, Shen Cong's one knife sent the person flying back. The evil sect disciple saw that Shen Cong was only at the second stage, thinking it was an accident again, and rushed up once more, but was directly stabbed through by Shen Cong with one knife. However, in the early stages of the third stage of Tongli, when Shen Cong seemed easy to bully, the result ended up being bullied, and even killed, was himself.

  Over a hundred people clashed, and the massive spiritual energy fluctuations exploded like a bomb, radiating in all directions. The demonic beasts in the forest had long since hidden far away, even those above level four were not daring to come over, fearing that they would get themselves trapped inside.

  In mid-air, the battle was most intense. Although Wang Shilin hadn't reached the sixth stage and couldn't walk on air, gliding for a short distance wasn't a big problem. Therefore, against Lu Ying who could float in the air, it wasn't much of an issue. On the contrary, Wang Shilin's own cultivation was too strong, leaving Lu Ying breathless. Even with the help of that array, the difference in strength was ultimately too great. If not for that unexpected event, Lu Ying's defeat would have been inevitable.

  And the battle below was also cruel, with a small difference in numbers, and even the cultivation base was similar. Among the knives, swords, fists, and feet, someone was injured or killed every moment. Fortunately, Luo Shui Sect still had a four-stage condensed yuan master, who had an advantage.

  Bolts of electric flowers exploded on Wei Ba's body, but he was also powerful, and the shocking palm thunder seemed to have little effect on him. If Lin Liting wanted to use an even more powerful Thunderbolt, she would be avoided by Wei Ba again. At this moment, the two were fighting wonderfully, but neither could overwhelm the other.

  Lin Liting took a glance at the surrounding scene, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her face. She looked at Wei Ba and said, "You'd better surrender now. Your defeat was sealed from the very beginning, struggling is futile."

  "Well said, you'd better surrender now, even if you struggle it's useless." Wei Ba laughed and sent the words back.

  "Are you blind or something, can't see what's going on around you?" Lin Liting said coldly.

  "You can see the superficial circumstances clearly, but can you see the deeper situation? Wei Ba revealed his teeth, 'So-called righteousness is just like this, it's really laughable!'"

  Lin Liting furrowed her brow, finding Wei Ba's words laughable. But strangely, Wei Ba's expression didn't seem fake, filling Lin Liting's heart with doubt.

  Not only Lin Liting was puzzled, but Shen Cong was also puzzled. Lv Ying and others were not foolish, now the situation is so obvious, why didn't the two of them show any anxiety at all? The evil sect disciples were getting more and more killed, blood had already dyed the ground red, and the advantage of the Luoshui Sect disciples was becoming increasingly apparent. Even in that mid-air battle, Lv Ying was caught off guard until the very last moment, being killed or captured in an instant.

  The situation was eerie and made people's heads feel annoyed, another evil sect disciple rushed up, Shen Cong directly chopped it to pieces. The warm blood was blocked by the true energy outside, what was seen under the eyelids was all red, and the whole world seemed to have turned red as well.

  "Pffft!"

  In mid-air, Lü Ying was also forced to retreat with a mouthful of blood, borrowing the power of that formation. Yet at this moment, her face showed no signs of panic, instead revealing a smile. "Senior is indeed well-cultivated, but it's letting me truly experience the power of opening the fifth meridian. If I can advance in the future, I'll have to thank Senior for it."

  "You won't have such an opportunity in the future!"

  "I say it exists, then it must exist!" Lü Ying let out a gentle laugh, her hands forming a strange hand seal, and the surrounding spiritual energy suddenly changed.

  Wang Lin felt the spiritual energy change, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his body appeared in front of Lü Ying. One fist had already smashed down, the surrounding air frantically escaping as if it too was afraid of the power of this punch.

  "Blood for the gods, sacrifice!"

  Lü Ying's blood beads were shattered by Wang Shi Lin's punch. The scattered blood beads didn't fall, but instead rushed back into the formation. Not just these blood beads, all the blood from below, regardless of friend or foe, flowed into the formation. The originally red array was now completely occupied by a dark red color, and the smell of blood could be clearly smelled even from several miles away.

  Wei Ba received a palm-thunder, retreated back to the front of the formation, and revealed a hint of a sneer on his face. Lü Ying walked out from that formation, where was there still any injury, and his entire spirit had reached its peak.

  Everyone felt a strange change and involuntarily stopped moving. The disciples of the evil sect took advantage of the opportunity to return, and in that moment, more than 20 disciples from both sides had already died.

  "I asked you to come and take a look at the formation earlier, but you refused. Now that I'm asking again, it's because I hope you won't disappoint me!" Lü Ying said with a smile, against the dark red background, making her appear even more eerie.

  Wang Shilin's mind flashed with a hint of unease, and just as he was about to temporarily retreat, a force descended upon him. Wang Shilin struggled with all his might, and his body regained its freedom, but before he could even take a step, a bloody aura completely covered his eyes, and the power of that spell had already arrived without warning.

  "Not good, quickly save Master Shu!"

  Everyone was shocked and about to rush forward to rescue the person. However, just as they took a step forward, some people suddenly fell to the ground, and even those who didn't fall had their feet go soft, as if their strength had been drained away.

  "What's going on here?!"

  All the Luoshui Sect disciples were shocked, wanting to stand up, this everyday simple thing now seemed extremely difficult. The internal strength was still flowing out, the true energy that could protect the body, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and before it even fell to the ground, it flew into that formation, but the crowd's physical strength had recovered somewhat.

  "Hurry up and move the true energy, we're poisoned!" The panicked cry, how to poison is unknown, only knowing that poisoning is understood, how can this not make people afraid.

  The bloody color that shrouded Wang Shilin has disappeared, but he is trapped in the formation. At this moment, even though there are continuous sounds coming from within the formation, the entire situation is precarious. The most optimistic thought is that Wang Shilin is safe inside the formation, but what about now?

  A cruel smile appeared on the face of the evil sect disciple, and it was only now that the people of the Luoshui Sect realized that the ones they had just killed were all low-level disciples of the evil sect, and the real masters were still reserved. The situation took a drastic turn!
