Fantasy: My Wife is the Empress, and Our Cute Kids Wreak Havoc in the Nine Provinces – Chapter 141

Chapter 141: Big Sister, the Five Thunders Tree Grew Legs and Ran Away

This ancient formation was something he had obtained by chance in this secret realm. It was a demonic formation that required a large amount of energy to activate.

If the treasures used to set up the formation were insufficient, it would devour the cultivator’s cultivation and spiritual power.

Before Chu Xin and Chu Chen appeared, Lei Wanjun had never intended to set up this demonic formation. After all, he didn’t know if the treasures he had were enough, and he was even more reluctant to use those treasures to activate the demonic formation.

The appearance of the two brats, and them snatching the Five Thunders Fruits, pushed the numerous prodigies towards him, giving him the opportunity to use them to set up the formation.

As expected, those so-called prodigies, in order to snatch the Five Thunders Fruits, did not have much defense against him.

However, this demonic formation had a major drawback. Before it was activated, it was easily disrupted by those inside the formation.

Therefore, after witnessing the power of the brats earlier, Lei Wanjun hesitated whether to set up the formation or not.

If the brats disrupted the demonic formation, causing it to fail, he would not only fail to snatch the Five Thunders Fruits from them but also face the siege of the numerous prodigies.

That was one thing, but he was even more worried that after these prodigies left the secret realm, they would inform the forces behind them of his actions. If these forces united to suppress the Thunder Sect, it would have a huge impact on the Thunder Sect.

Especially now that the Nine Provinces were in turmoil and the situation was chaotic, it would be very troublesome.

However, when he saw the Thunder Beasts lose their minds and frantically attack the brats, he finally made up his mind.

Although the brats were powerful, it would still take them a long time to get rid of the Thunder Beasts that filled the mountain.

This time was enough for the demonic formation to devour the numerous prodigies and activate.

As for the brat who was digging up the tree, he was not worried.

Through his observations during this period, he found that the brat seemed to have absolute confidence in the brat wearing the phoenix mask, believing that she could defeat any enemy.

No matter what kind of enemies she encountered, or how many enemies she encountered, he seemed to have no intention of helping, only focusing on digging up the tree.

He estimated that the brat wearing the dragon mask didn’t even know that he had set up the demonic formation.

“This formation seems very powerful.”

Chu Xin looked at the formation that enveloped the entire Five Thunders Mountain. Her big, round eyes blinked. With a flick of her sword technique, the Divine Mark Greatsword slew a large swath of Thunder Beasts before her, and she intended to attack the formation barrier.

However, before she could do anything, dense swarms of Thunder Beasts surged forward again, blocking all her paths, and endless lightning bolts struck.

Chu Xin had no choice but to continue attacking the Thunder Beasts.

From beginning to end, she did not call for Chu Chen’s help. In her opinion, destroying this formation was far less important than digging up the tree.

Seeing this scene, a victorious smile appeared on Lei Wanjun’s face outside the demonic formation.

Everything was as he expected. As long as he waited a little longer, the demonic formation would absorb enough energy to activate.

As for the wails and curses of the numerous prodigies, he had already ignored them all. His eyes were fixed on the brat, waiting for the demonic formation to activate.

“Big Sister, the big tree has become a spirit, the big tree has run away, quickly stop it.”

At this moment, Chu Chen’s childish voice rang out, carrying a hint of surprise and urgency.

After slaying a large swath of Thunder Beasts, Chu Xin turned around and saw that the Five Thunders Tree on the top of Five Thunders Mountain had somehow floated into the air.

Its dense roots, like solidified lightning bolts, swayed, emanating endless five-colored arcs of electricity.

“The big tree has become a spirit?”

Chu Xin was full of surprise. It was the first time she had seen a big tree that could run on its own.

“Big tree, don’t run.”

Chu Chen soared into the air and flew straight towards the Five Thunders Tree.

The roots of the Five Thunders Tree struck through the air, trying to stop him, but they were cut off by the saber Qi released by Chu Chen.

Seeing that it could not stop Chu Chen, the five-colored lightning on the Five Thunders Tree flashed, and in an instant, it transformed into a bolt of lightning and shot towards the distance.

With a loud bang, the demonic formation’s patterns flickered, and the Five Thunders Tree was bounced back.

Puff!

All the prodigies who were setting up the formation suffered a backlash and spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Damn it!”

◈◈◈

Lei Wanjun’s face changed drastically. He never expected such a change to occur.

He had calculated everything, but he had not calculated that the Five Thunders Tree could actually run.

The elders had never mentioned it, and it had never been recorded in ancient books.

But thinking about it, it was not strange. In the past, there had never been a situation where a brat dug up the tree, so the Five Thunders Tree naturally did not need to run.

“Haha! I told you not to run, but you didn’t listen.”

Chu Chen laughed loudly and arrived in an instant.

Crack!

At this moment, the Five Thunders Tree suddenly shook violently. The five-colored lightning that filled Five Thunders Mountain surged towards it and was completely absorbed into the Five Thunders Tree.

The next moment, the Five Thunders Tree rose into the air again, dodging Chu Chen, and once again shot towards the distance.

Bang!

The Five Thunders Tree slammed into the demonic formation’s barrier, emitting a muffled sound. All the prodigies spat out another mouthful of blood and suffered a backlash. But the devouring of the demonic formation paused for a moment, which made the eyes of the numerous prodigies light up.

They finally understood that as long as this demonic formation was broken, they could survive.

At this moment, all of them hoped that the two brats and the Five Thunders Tree could shatter this demonic formation and save them from the abyss of death.

Crack!

Cracks appeared on the demonic formation’s barrier, as if it would shatter at any moment.

Just as the numerous prodigies were excited, the Five Thunders Tree finally could not hold on any longer and was bounced back by the demonic formation’s barrier.

Lei Wanjun breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it did not shatter the demonic formation, the demonic formation could repair the cracks by devouring the cultivation and spiritual power of the numerous prodigies.

“I caught you.”

Chu Chen, who had followed, threw out a large number of talismans, which landed on the falling Five Thunders Tree.

In an instant, all the talismans shattered and transformed into golden ropes that bound the Five Thunders Tree, sealing the energy within it, making it unable to move, and it fell heavily.

Chu Chen grabbed the roots of the Five Thunders Tree with his chubby little hand and held it upside down, floating in the air.

He looked up at the cracked formation barrier above and muttered in surprise, “Huh? When did a formation appear here?”

He soared into the air, came to the formation barrier, and poked it with his chubby little hand.

The already nearly shattered formation barrier instantly shattered like a bubble.

Puff!

The numerous prodigies spat out blood and fell to the ground, but they were not angry but happy. The terrifying devouring power had disappeared, the demonic formation was broken, and they were saved.

“Damn brats! Damn Five Thunders Tree!”

Lei Wanjun’s face was extremely gloomy. Suddenly, he saw the brat looking at him, and his face changed drastically in fright. He turned around and wanted to run.

“Stop!”

Chu Chen shouted in a childish voice and threw the Five Thunders Tree in his hand with force.

The huge Five Thunders Tree tore through the void and instantly appeared behind Lei Wanjun.

Endless five-colored lightning crackled, covering all directions.

Lei Wanjun had nowhere to escape and could only stop to resist.

When he finally managed to block the Five Thunders Tree, Chu Chen had already appeared, grabbed the Five Thunders Tree, and used it as a weapon, smashing it down towards Lei Wanjun.

With a bang, Lei Wanjun fell like a meteor. The ground instantly collapsed, and a bottomless pit appeared, filled with five-colored lightning.
