Chapter 229 – The Layout Artist
”Not bad, you guessed correctly!
Not only am I a descendant of the Ghost Shadow Cultivator lineage, I am also the sole successor of this lineage!
Coming to the East Sea, I originally came here to reclaim everything that belongs to our clan!
To tell you the truth, the layout of the Thousand Clouds Sect’s Northern Jin lineage was all planned by me and my royal brother!
If it wasn’t for you Xu Yang, the Northern Jin would have dominated half of the Three Thousand Roads by now!
In order to deal with you, as well as to open the Dragon Hide with the help of the Dao Heart Dust in your hands, I rushed to Sangshui City at the first opportunity to unite with the Seven, just to wait for this moment to arrive!
Xu Yang, you are no longer valuable, lead the way to death!
As long as you die, the Yunyang Empire and the Cold Moon Empire will be leaderless, and the grandeur of Northern Jin’s unification will be just around the corner!”
Now it seems that this Tuoba Hong is a complete and utter conspirator, Tuoba Hong and Tuoba Yun brothers united with the Sword Alliance, in the next big game of chess, the entire Northern Jin’s ultimate goal is to unify all the forces of the three thousand dao states!
Tuoba Yun utilizes the power of the Wind Sleeve Sword Alliance to plan on the front battlefield, while Tuoba Hong takes the Dragon Hidden path, using Xu Yang to open the door to the secret realm that no one dares to break into.
There is no doubt that the entire plan up to here is very successful, in the view of Tuoba Hong, as long as Xu Yang died, no one can block the Tuoba brothers’ grand cause.
Unfortunately, Xu Yang had traveled all the way and was originally an existence against the heavens, trying to reckon with someone who had traveled against the heavens was the most pathetic choice of all.
”Since we’ve bumped into each other, let me see just how much weight you have.”
Xu Yang coldly laughed, and without hesitation, he summoned the Eternal Divine Sword and coldly swept below.
The frequency of the appearance of mori green waves of light became frequent, and the silhouette of a necromorphic shadow became more and more solid, as countless necromorphic disciples began to gather towards this space, poised and ready to unleash a fatal blow on Xu Yang and the Empress in mid-air.
”What’s going on ……
Wasn’t there only four Corpse Disciples in a crowd of seven just now, now how did so many Corpse Disciple puppets appear out of nowhere?”
The Empress was doubly shocked as she looked at her feet, because she realized that all of these puppets actually had very solid soul fluctuations, like a strip of fresh life that had appeared out of thin air!
This secret method of creating something out of nothing was too rare.
”It’s very simple, the root of this formation is that trio of people on the island, the more living beings on the island they hunted and killed, the more corpse spirits they plundered, and the more of these cruel corpse disciples they piled up naturally!
Unsurprisingly, what you and I will be facing is the entirety of the dead souls on the entire island!”
”What!
!”
The Empress’ mind was shaken!
Of course she understood that there were hundreds or thousands of Demon Apes alone on that island, not counting the other species, adding up to a hundred thousand or eighty thousand living beings!
The embarrassing thing was that at this moment it was impossible for the two of them to return to the island and get rid of those three sources of cholera!
As long as the three of them didn’t die, this spell formation would continually congeal and breed new Corpse Disciple puppets that would coalesce to their feet in preparation for an attack.
”There’s only one thing you have to do now, and that’s to protect yourself and be ready to unleash the Xuan Flame Titan at any time to prevent a sneak attack from Tuoba Hong.
If my guess is correct, his true strength is at least at the Divine Infant realm!”
After Xu Yang spoke, he directly rushed down with his sword, sweeping these Corpse Puppets with his own strength.
These Corpse Puppets themselves were of average strength, only half of the strength of the trio that had cast this formation, probably only around the Jindan Realm, but they could not hold the constant stream of them pouring out!
At this moment, there were only two ways out in front of Xu Yang and the Empress.
Either, find a way to destroy the eye of the formation, cut off the remote connection between this weird formation and the soul power of the three people, and then suspend the operation of the formation.
Either way, they could only find a breakthrough in this area and find a way to get out of this empty but murderous closed area.
Rumble!
Xu Yang’s combat power is undoubted, each wave of puppets need at most two swords to complete a full kill, but immediately followed by another batch of dozens of corpses randomly fall in different locations of this Sen green formation, after landing on the ground, they lock themselves Xu Yang’s breath to this side to close in.
Even though Xu Yang’s strength is heavenly, his physical ability is ultimately limited, it is simply impossible to keep on consuming like this.
Although the Empress wanted to spread her spiritual power to look for the exit and the eye of the formation, she was worried that Tuoba Hong would launch a sneak attack!
To know that the guy himself admitted to be from the Ghost Shadow Cultivator lineage, then he must be a top assassin with the thunder method, once decided to start, will be a stone-breaking and unstoppable kill!
Sensing that Tuoba Hong, who hadn’t moved for a long time, suddenly locked onto Xu Yang’s aura, the Empress instinctively felt a hint of worry, and immediately utilized her Cold Moon Kung Fu to fight with Tuoba Hong remotely.
Brilliant ice-blue gas blades continue to hit the air, but unfortunately, the density of such an attack for Tuoba Hong is simply child’s play.
Walking in the void, Tuoba Hong is not in a hurry to strike, he is very clear, at present, the consumption of this array alone is not enough to let Xu Yang into a weak state, rashly attack the empress provoked Xu Yang, but will be counterproductive, not as good as to continue to look for opportunities to launch a kill to hit one of the two, especially into the tired Xu Yang!
How smart was Tuoba Hong, he knew very well that as long as Xu Yang was in trouble, his plan would be a big success.
”Son of a bitch, let’s see where you’re going to run this time!”
The Empress was finally enraged, and after striking out one after another to no avail, she suddenly pointed at the center of her eyebrow, and her powerful spiritual power was instantly released, and the more pure ice blue light in her pupils spread out.
Completion of the breakthrough to the great circle realm of the empress, now the strength is not to be underestimated, along the way Xu Yang more care, the empress is basically not much to use the hand, naturally, also ignored by the top trekking Hong.
This time this strong spiritual fluctuations spread out, Tuoba Hong heart a shock rose up in the air, did not hesitate to break open their own strength seal, outside the body of a red-colored light flashed, a powerful breath outward, God Infant realm unique heritage completely manifested out.
”You probably don’t understand that for any lineage of powerful assassin clans, concealing one’s aura and hiding one’s true strength are all basic skills.
I’m sorry to tell you that my true strength is – Divine Infant Middle Stage!”
Whoosh!
Without warning, Tuoba Hong finally locked onto the empress ready to unleash a thunderous strike.
The Empress instinctively wanted to summon the Arcane Flame Titan to descend to protect her body, but realized that it was already too late!
The Sacrificial Summoning Bracelet had just glowed brightly, and that unprecedented sense of crisis had already hit her.
”Hmph, you’re overthinking it, brother.”
Creak!
Just in this close call, an ice-blue barrier suddenly condensed in front of the empress, finally blocking Tuoba Hong’s cold killing machine outside of the square inch, perfectly sheltering the empress’s safety.
