Chapter 304: Her Formation, Broken
Ming Zhaoshuang signaled Fantuan to quickly go and destroy the Nine-Orifice Lotus.
She didn’t even have enough time to breathe in another breath of air before she poked her head out, grabbed the surrounding lotus leaves, and swam towards the last Nine-Orifice Lotus.
Everywhere she passed was blood water.
Earlier, she had fought with that person, and he had forced her so far away from this Nine-Orifice Lotus that she couldn’t even feel it now.
It’s so far, why didn’t she feel before that she was so far from all these Nine-Orifice Lotuses, so far that every exertion made her limbs ache terribly, so far that she could barely see when she closed her eyes.
My head is so dizzy, my chest hurts so much.
But, why couldn’t she swim there.
“Meteorite Shocking Earth Hammer!”
Thousands of layers of waves and tens of thousands of layers of lake water roared past her from behind, and thousands of strands and tens of thousands of silks of spiritual flow crashed towards her from behind, bringing threats and pressure, pressing down on her heavily.
Her formation was broken.
She hadn’t even swum far before her formation was broken by that person in an extremely brute force manner under absolute martial might suppression.
The chasm between the Nascent Soul Stage and the Void Refining Stage was something she could never break through no matter how she tried to take shortcuts, something she could never cross no matter how she racked her brains.
If only she had set up a Heavenly Tier Formation.
In that case, perhaps it would have been enough to trap him, but her strength was limited, and this was the most she could do.
The iron hammer swung towards Fantuan, and Ming Zhaoshuang, without time to think, directly reached out and summoned it back.
As Fantuan was forcibly recalled, its eyes turned scarlet, and it let out an angry roar, clearly having entered a frenzied state, angered by its master’s injuries all over.
However, he was only at the late Nascent Soul stage, and was still a spiritual beast in its young stage.
How could he possibly contend with a cultivator in the Void Refining stage.
“To be able to draw a Earth Rank spirit formation at the age of a dozen years, and under such circumstances, is truly a celestial genius. If you can live to the end, perhaps your achievements will not be inferior to Saint Feng He from tens of thousands of years ago.”
He raised the hammer in his hand: “But it’s a pity. Low cultivation is low cultivation. Not all geniuses can grow up.”
Another hammer strike landed on Ming Zhaoshuang’s back.
She faced the water, enveloped by layers upon layers of bubbles, and could clearly hear the sound of her own bones shattering.
Ming Zhaoshuang looked up, intending to call Flowing Radiance to summon Feng Budu again, but stopped abruptly upon seeing a figure and closed her mouth.
Feng Budu was her most powerful trump card.
With her here, she could almost step through all the injustices in the world without expending any effort.
But Feng Budu was already in the perilous Dragon Domain, let alone in the Ghost Realm, which was different from the Demon Realm. In the Ghost Realm, there was also an Immortal Crossing, and Feng Budu was somewhat of a Demon Lord, representing the interests of the Demon Realm. This would be causing trouble for Feng Budu.
Very likely it would be big trouble.
Therefore, she didn’t want Feng Budu to come unless it was the last moment.
She didn’t want Feng Budu to think that Feng He’s second disciple was inferior to her, and she didn’t want Feng Budu to think that the junior sister she approved of was a fool who only knew how to ask others for help in everything.
If she lived under the shade of Feng He and Feng Budu everywhere, then she would never be able to grow into her true self.
She turned her head and faced the cultivator in the Void Refining stage behind her.
His eyes were filled with admiration and also with pity.
“Still not dead?”
As the words fell, a hammer strike descended, staining the azure pool with blood, and the waves rose a thousand feet high.
The young girl’s body was almost not intact, crushed and collapsed, flesh and blood blurred, bones shattered. An ordinary person at this point would likely only have death as their only path, no matter how capable they were.
But she was still alive.
She even had the leisure to feed herself a few pills.
The Innate Wood Spirit had given her the ability to be almost immortal and unkillable, and had given her the power to keep striving upwards.
As long as she had one breath left, she would not concede defeat!
“If you… have the guts… kill me…”
Ming Zhaoshuang’s voice was intermittent, clearly on the verge of death.
But she was still persisting.
The cultivator in the Void Refining stage sneered: “Relying on the Innate Wood Spirit in your body to speak so boastfully, you truly don’t know your place! I’ll tell you now whether I can kill you!”
Saying that, several hammer strikes fell, agitating the Yellow Springs.
On the other side, Tan Zhu and the others, who were holding back the main combatants, found it even more difficult with the arrival of the Pill Cultivators and Artifact Cultivators.
Although they were not Sword Cultivators, there were more people and thus greater strength, pinning them down.
Tan Zhu had very few Poison Pills refined by Yixu left in her hand, and her own refined Poison Pills did not play any crucial role. Fortunately, the two Sword Cultivators covered by the Xia Yu Nine Provinces Cauldron were already dead, and she could retrieve the cauldron.
But she was a Pill Cultivator and was also nearing the end of her rope.
Shen Yuyin was still playing her flute, the flute sound so mournful that it tugged at the heartstrings of everyone present.
Xingyun and Liushui now not only had to fight against the Sword Cultivators, but also prevent the Pill Cultivators and Artifact Cultivators from touching Shen Yuyin and Tan Zhu. Their entire bodies were cut open in many places, and blood flowed down from the heavens to the ground.
And Sang Biao, from initially having the upper hand, was now being restricted everywhere, barely able to free a claw to help Shen Yuyin and the others, only able to block everyone in front of him as much as possible.
When Liushui’s arm was almost cut off again for protecting them, Shen Yuyin finally couldn’t help it.
She reached out, and a paper fan floated in the air, continuously growing larger and unfolding.
“Jingwei can no longer be used to protect us, it must participate in the battle, otherwise we will all die! Fourth Senior Sister, do you believe me? I can protect you!”
Saying that, she took out several talismans and handed them to Tan Zhu.
Tan Zhu sighed, lightly tapped her toes, and landed on the fan’s surface, with Shen Yuyin following closely behind: “Jingwei, go.”
Immediately after, Shen Yuyin rushed towards Xingyun and Liushui: “Protect yourselves first. Rest assured, the melody will not stop, and we will not die. You must hold on until this formation disappears!”
Saying that, Shen Yuyin lowered her head again and began to play the flute.
Jingwei rushed into the crowd, let out a long roar, agitating the entire battlefield, its wings spread, beating against the flesh and blood of those cultivators.
Xingyun and Liushui thus gained a chance to breathe.
Of course, those cultivators were not fools. Seeing Shen Yuyin and the others exposed in front of them, they naturally wouldn’t let this opportunity pass. Several Artifact Cultivators swarmed towards Shen Yuyin and Tan Zhu with biting cold.
Tan Zhu reached out and used the Xia Yu Nine Provinces Cauldron to block blow after blow for Shen Yuyin.
It was just a pity that the number of people was too great. Even though these cultivators were of similar cultivation to her, with her divine tool in hand, she couldn’t resist all of them. She even spat out a mouthful of blood due to the agitation of the spiritual flow.
Shen Yuyin, however, was not flustered. With a slight flick of her sleeve, she flung out two defensive magical artifacts, which took the blow for Tan Zhu.
Sorry, she was the Second Young Lady of the Lapis Lazuli Azure Sea.
Her family was wealthy, she was rich, and what she lacked the least was magical artifacts.
