Chapter 62: Why Are Those Two Brats Here?
“What’s going on?”
The four people who were concentrating on absorbing the True Qi and blood of the one hundred thousand cultivators were also alarmed by the sound of the formation’s completion, and they all turned their heads to look.
Because Chu Chen used the formation stones, the Invisibility Talisman lost its effect. His small body was on the city wall, craning his neck and looking around at the four people. He looked very comical.
“That brat, why is he here?”
The Steward frowned slightly. He naturally knew everything that happened during the Lánzhōu Grand Competition. He also knew that this brat, who looked cute and harmless, was very powerful.
Although he wouldn’t be afraid on a normal day, he was currently absorbing the True Qi and blood of these cultivators, and he didn’t have time to fight this brat.
“Brat?”
The other three people’s eyes flashed with coldness.
“It’s that little toddler. He’s here to save us.”
The cultivators who were being devoured of their True Qi and blood were overjoyed when they saw Chu Chen.
They had already despaired, but hope was rekindled in their hearts.
“Shadow, kill him.”
The Steward said in a low voice. Then, the shadow that was cast on the ground by him actually floated up and detached from his body.
“Yes, Master.”
A cold voice sounded from the shadow, and then it floated towards Chu Chen at an extremely fast speed.
“The shadow came to life?”
Chu Chen was greatly surprised and stared at the shadow floating towards him.
Although he had heard his Dad talk about this kind of Divine Ability before, he had never seen it. It looked quite magical.
He turned his head and looked at his own little shadow, muttering, “I wonder if I can learn it.”
When he turned his head back, he found that the shadow had disappeared. He looked around but couldn’t find it. He couldn’t help but wonder, “Strange, where did it go? I can’t sense its aura at all.”
He took out a bunch of talismans and stuck them on himself.
“Dad said that when you can’t see your enemy, you have to put up more defenses.”
As he stuck the talismans, he muttered to himself.
Bang!
Just as he had stuck two talismans, he heard a muffled sound from behind.
Chu Chen turned his head and saw a shadow flying out, stopping ten feet away.
“Why did it come here? Why didn’t I sense it at all?”
Chu Chen’s chubby little face was full of confusion.
“Stupid Brother! It can merge into your shadow.”
At this moment, Chu Xin’s milky voice sounded in his mind. Obviously, Chu Xin was using a Sound Transmission Talisman to communicate with Chu Chen in secret.
“Shadow?”
Chu Chen turned his head again and looked at his own shadow that was stretched long on the ground. He suddenly realized, “So it merged into my shadow. No wonder I didn’t sense it.”
He turned his head back to the front again, only to find that the shadow had disappeared once more.
“Again?”
Chu Chen muttered in a low voice, and a sparkling formation stone was thrown behind him, instantly transforming into a small formation.
With a loud bang, the formation fell and enveloped his own shadow.
He slowly turned around, and his shadow turned with him. The shadow that had merged into it touched the edge of the formation and was forcibly stripped out.
Roar!
The shadow roared angrily and madly charged at the formation barrier, but no matter how hard it tried, it couldn’t break the barrier and escape.
“Damn brat.”
Seeing that the shadow was trapped, the Steward cursed in a low voice.
“Annoying bad guy, watch me break your formation.”
Chu Chen floated in mid-air, his chubby little hands quickly forming hand seals, and one terrifying saber Qi after another condensed behind him.
◈◈◈
Seeing this, the Steward and the other three felt their hearts tighten, and they shouted in unison, “You damn brat, get lost.”
Just as everyone’s attention was focused on Chu Chen, Chu Xin, who had been hiding in the dark, suddenly made her move. Overwhelming Sword Qi tore through the air, instantly severing all the red chains.
The one hundred thousand cultivators fell collectively, like dumplings falling into a pot. The scene was quite spectacular.
“Great, we’re saved.”
After landing, everyone quickly got up. Although their bodies had become somewhat weak, their faces were filled with the excitement of having survived a disaster.
“Brat, you’re courting death.”
The Steward and the other three were stunned, and then they let out a deafening roar. The four of them pointed their fingers at the same time, and four red beams of light shot into the formation above their heads. One red chain after another shot out again.
“They’re coming again, run!”
The expressions of the one hundred thousand cultivators changed drastically, and they all fled into the air.
But the evil formation above their heads had not yet been broken, and the red light curtain was still there. They couldn’t escape at all.
Seeing the red chains crossing the void, the one hundred thousand cultivators once again showed expressions of despair.
“Formation, rise!”
Chu Chen shouted in a childish voice. As his chubby little hand pointed, a transparent protective barrier suddenly rose from the spectator area, protecting the one hundred thousand cultivators.
Bang bang!
The red chains shot over and collided with the protective barrier, making a piercing sound.
“It’s blocked, the little toddler’s formation blocked those chains.”
The one hundred thousand cultivators cheered upon seeing this.
“Damn brat, today I’ll make you our nourishment.”
The Steward roared. With a wave of his hand, countless blood-colored palms appeared behind him. The evil aura shook the void, causing everyone’s blood to tremble as if it would burst out of their bodies at any moment and fly towards the blood-colored palms.
Buzz!
At the same time, a cold red saber intent and a domineering red sword intent rose simultaneously.
Roar!
A huge red bird spread its wings and soared into the sky, its entire body burning with blood-colored flames.
These blood-colored flames did not have the heat of fire, but instead had a bone-eroding chill.
“Annoying aura.”
“But very powerful.”
Chu Xin and Chu Chen frowned at the same time. They didn’t like the aura of these blood-colored palms.
But these auras were the strongest they had ever seen, except for their Dad’s.
Whoosh!
Just as the Steward and the other three were about to attack, a seal broke through the air and hovered above. Pure threads of the power of fortune descended, forming a unique force field.
Under this force field, the Steward and the other three felt their strength greatly suppressed. Even the operation of the red formation above their heads seemed to become sluggish.
“Provincial Governor’s Seal?”
The expressions of the Steward and the other three sank slightly.
A beautiful figure stepped through the air and stopped beside the Provincial Governor’s Seal.
“A bunch of trash, you can’t even delay a mere Martial Venerable for half an incense stick’s worth of time.”
The Steward cursed in a low voice.
If it were normal times, the four of them together would naturally not fear Long Yufei.
Even if Long Yufei controlled the Provincial Governor’s Seal, she was, after all, only a Martial Venerable. She couldn’t possibly be a match for the four of them.
But now they had to maintain the formation and guard against those two brats. Now that their strength was suppressed by the Provincial Governor’s Seal, it was greatly disadvantageous to them.
Long Yufei looked at the red formation, then looked down at the Steward and the other three on the stage. Her cold voice was filled with anger, “Blood Devouring Soul Stealing Formation? You dare to set up this forbidden formation of the Nine Provinces, you should be exterminated to the ninth generation.”
