Chapter 154: Why Does This Formation Have Dad’s Aura?
Long Shaotian looked at this scene, his eyes also suddenly condensed, and a solemn look appeared on his face.
One person blocked all the prodigies, and the strength displayed by that brat shocked him.
And the brat in front of him was at least no weaker than the other one.
“Hey! Have you thought it through?”
Seeing that Long Shaotian hadn’t spoken for a long time, Chu Xin said impatiently, “Forget it, I’ll beat your butt first, then snatch the map.”
With that, her figure flashed and she rushed towards Long Shaotian. On the way, her body transformed into a sword, carrying a supreme sword intent that ripped through the void, appearing in front of Long Shaotian in an instant.
“So fast!”
Long Shaotian was startled, and as his body retreated, his hands formed a seal, and a snow-white lotus flower emerged from beneath his feet.
Bang!
At the same time, the sword that Chu Xin had transformed into struck, blocked by a layer of snow-white barrier formed by the lotus. The huge impact force produced a loud bang, and a terrifying energy shockwave swept through the surroundings. The prodigies who were close by were still on guard against Chu Chen, and had no time to react before they were directly turned into ashes by this energy shockwave.
Boom!
The long sword spun, and even stronger sword qi continuously struck the lotus barrier, producing a series of loud bangs. More and stronger energy shockwaves spread out in all directions.
“Retreat!”
The prodigies were startled and retreated through the air to avoid it.
Compared to having their butts beaten, they obviously didn’t want to die such an aggrieved; stifled death.
“Such a strong attack.”
Long Shaotian was also shocked. He was a Peak Martial Saint, yet his fully condensed defensive divine ability was actually showing signs of being unable to withstand it.
He quickly formed hand seals, strengthening the defensive power of the lotus barrier.
“Good opportunity!”
Long Shaoyu, who had not made a move until now, saw that all the prodigies’ attention was on the two brats, and his eyes immediately lit up.
He turned his head to look at the Divine Lotus, which had retracted its divine light and was floating quietly on the Divine Pool, his eyes flashing with endless greed and excitement.
“It was worth it to please those two brats along the way. It’s finally come in handy. The Divine Lotus is mine.”
Long Shaoyu no longer hesitated and tore through the air.
As he got closer and closer to the Divine Lotus, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and the excitement and greed became more intense.
Buzz!
Just then, lines of runes lit up around the Divine Lotus, and in an instant, a barrier rose up and quickly spread to the entire Divine Pool.
“What is this? The Divine Lotus’s own protective formation?”
Long Shaoyu was taken aback, his face also became gloomy. He was about to snatch the Divine Lotus, how could he give up so easily? He roared, “Break for me!”
The True Qi in his body surged, and the power of Laws permeated, condensing into a giant flame sword that slashed towards the barrier.
Such a huge commotion naturally attracted the attention of all the prodigies.
“Long Shaoyu, how dare you?”
Liu Zhentian and the others’ pupils shrank, and they roared in unison. At the same time, they desperately tore through the air, charging through the layers of formation barriers set up by Chu Chen, wanting to stop Long Shaoyu.
Unfortunately, Chu Chen had thrown out too many talismans and formation stones, and they couldn’t break through them all in a short time.
And these formations had no effect on Long Shaoyu.
“No!”
The prodigies could only watch helplessly as Long Shaoyu’s attack got closer and closer to the Divine Lotus, their mouths emitting angry and desperate roars.
With a loud bang, the flame sword qi slashed onto the barrier, producing a deafening sound, and the entire Divine Mountain shook. But the barrier was not affected at all, and continued to expand steadily.
“This!”
The prodigies were stunned. Long Shaoyu was a Young Sword Saint after all. His full-powered strike didn’t cause any damage to the barrier? Was this barrier’s defensive power too strong?
Bang!
The barrier seemed to be stimulated, and its expansion speed suddenly increased several times. In an instant, it struck Long Shaoyu, sending him flying hundreds of feet, spitting out blood, and seriously injured.
And at this time, the barrier had already enveloped the entire Divine Pool, and no longer continued to expand.
◈◈◈
“How could this be?”
Long Shaoyu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at the Divine Pool enveloped by the barrier, his face full of unwillingness.
He was only one step away from the Divine Lotus, but he was blocked by this sudden barrier. And now his actions had attracted the attention of all the prodigies, and it was impossible to repeat the same trick.
If he wanted to snatch the Divine Lotus again, he could only use his final trump card.
But even so, the chances of snatching the Divine Lotus were slim.
“There’s actually another protective formation?”
Su Qingyu was full of astonishment, and muttered to herself, “Master never said that the Divine Pool has two protective formations.”
“It’s never been recorded in ancient books either,” Li Yuxin also muttered.
“What the hell is going on?”
Mu Yebai was full of doubts.
“Let’s test the strength of this formation first.”
Lei Wanjun was the first to attack the barrier. Even though he used all his strength, he couldn’t shake the barrier at all.
Li Yuxin and the others, all the prodigies, also attacked, but the result was still the same.
This protective formation was even more powerful than the one they had attacked before.
“It must be that brat’s doing. No heavenly material or earthly treasure can have two protective formations. As long as we kill that brat, this formation will naturally be lifted.”
Liu Zhentian pointed at Chu Chen and said through gritted teeth.
“Kill the brat.”
All the prodigies roared in unison.
Even Long Shaoyu couldn’t help but look at Chu Chen, a trace of doubt in his eyes. Was it really this brat’s doing?
Facing the angry gazes of all the prodigies, Chu Chen calmly took a sip of beast milk, spread his chubby little hands, and said in a childish voice, “I didn’t set up this formation. I don’t have such a powerful formation stone. Besides, with your little bit of strength, it’s not enough for me to use such a strong formation stone.”
“You!”
Being looked down upon by a four or five-year-old brat naturally made all the prodigies furious.
“Although that brat is a bit arrogant, what he said does make sense.”
After the anger, some prodigies also thought to themselves.
The pile of Saint-level talismans and Saint-level formation stones that the brat threw out was enough to trap them. Why would he waste an Emperor-level formation stone to protect the Divine Lotus?
And that Long Shaoyu was obviously with these two brats. Otherwise, how could the formations set up by the brat with talismans and formation stones have no effect on Long Shaoyu?
Since they were together, it was impossible for this brat to use an Emperor-level formation stone to set up a formation to prevent Long Shaoyu from taking the Divine Lotus.
Could this protective formation really be the Divine Lotus’s own?
Chu Xin also stopped attacking, returned to Chu Chen’s side, curiously sized up the formation, and muttered, “Why do I feel a familiar aura from this formation?”
“Sister, did you feel it too?” Chu Chen blinked his big eyes, brought his little head close to Chu Xin’s ear, and whispered, “I feel a bit like Dad’s aura.”
“En!” Chu Xin also nodded.
Whoosh!
One by one, lotus flowers tore through the air, striking the barrier and producing a loud boom. The powerful energy fluctuations made all the prodigies feel a tightness in their chests.
But even such a powerful attack still couldn’t shake the barrier.
“An Emperor-level formation?”
Long Shaotian came through the air, looked down at the formation, his brows furrowed.
