Chapter 207: Formation

At this thought, Wang Changsheng and the two others looked at each other, each seeing the joy on the others' faces.

However, their smiles soon froze.

Dozens of red lights suddenly shot out from the stone walls on both sides of the valley, transforming into a vast expanse of red mist that enveloped the entire valley.

The next moment, a large number of red light spots appeared out of thin air, quickly forming into hundreds of crimson fire blades, about two feet long each. In less than three breaths, there were hundreds of them, creating an astonishing spectacle.

"Oh no, a formation!"

Wang Changsheng's expression changed dramatically. He quickly took out the Black Jade Ruler, and with a gentle flick, a white light barrier about ten feet wide appeared out of thin air, enveloping all three of them.

The dense crimson fire blades struck the white light barrier, producing a series of muffled crackling sounds.

"Damn it, how can there be a formation here? Did someone specifically set up an ambush here? This is too illogical! How could they be certain someone would come here?" Wang Mingjiang's brows furrowed tightly, his face filled with worry.

"This isn't important," Wang Changsheng said. "Let's break the formation first."

Wang Changsheng took out the Black Ice Flag, and with a gentle wave, a large expanse of white cold air shot out, transforming into a white ice wall several feet tall, blocking in front of them.

He took out a Flying Needle Talisman Treasure and handed it to Wang Mingjiang. "Uncle Twenty-One," he instructed, "quickly activate this Talisman Treasure and attack the stone wall we just saw. That should be the edge of the restriction. My second sister and I will guard you."

Logically, since he was at the fourth layer of Foundation Establishment, it would be faster for him to activate the Talisman Treasure. However, with Wang Mingjiang and Wang Changxue's strength, they might not be able to hold them off. They didn't possess as many magic tools as Wang Changsheng, and even if he lent them some, they would still need time to refine them.

Seeing Wang Changsheng take out a Talisman Treasure, Wang Mingjiang was very surprised. However, he didn't say anything more, immediately sat cross-legged, and frantically channeled his spiritual power into the Flying Needle Talisman Treasure.

A large number of red light spots appeared in the void again. This time, they transformed into dense red flying needles, numbering in the thousands.

With loud "hissing" sounds, thousands of red flying needles struck from all directions, creating a terrifying momentum.

Wang Changxue conjured the Blue Moon Pearl, frantically channeling her spiritual power into it. The Blue Moon Pearl glowed brightly, and a large number of blue light spots appeared out of thin air, forming a shimmering blue giant bowl that inverted over the three of them.

Wang Changsheng gently waved the Black Ice Flag in his hand, and a large expanse of white cold air surged out. The blue giant bowl quickly froze, turning into a massive white ice bowl with an ice layer about two feet thick, emitting astonishing coldness.

The dense red ice needles struck the white ice bowl, producing a muffled thud. The surface of the white ice bowl was pitted but otherwise intact.

A large number of red light spots appeared in the void again. This time, they transformed into a massive crimson fire dragon, which lunged ferociously towards the white ice bowl.

With a deafening roar, the crimson fire dragon collided with the white ice bowl, instantly transforming into a vast expanse of crimson flames and simultaneously emitting a large cloud of white mist.

Soon, a large expanse of white cold air surged from within the flames, which quickly extinguished.

A large number of blue light spots appeared out of thin air, quickly forming an even larger blue giant bowl. With a flash of white light, an even larger white ice bowl reappeared.

A large number of red light spots appeared in the void again. This time, they transformed into two massive crimson fire dragons, radiating terrifying high temperatures, and lunged towards the white ice bowl.

The two crimson fire dragons collided with the white ice bowl, erupting in a massive wave of air.

A series of "rumbling" explosions rang out, flames scattered, and a large amount of white mist billowed forth.

A large number of red light spots appeared again, transforming into individual red flying needles, numbering in the thousands.

Thousands of red flying needles eagerly plunged into the white mist, producing a muffled clang of metal colliding, as if striking something hard.

Two breaths later, the white mist dissipated, revealing a black giant tortoise, two zhang in size, on the ground. Wang Changsheng and the two others had vanished.

Over five years, although Wang Changsheng had not been able to advance to the fifth layer of Foundation Establishment, he had successfully refined this low-grade second-tier tortoise puppet beast.

This second-tier tortoise puppet beast was a defensive type, and its defense was quite good.

The tortoise puppet beast let out a strange roar. A dazzling yellow light shone from its body, and a thick layer of yellow stone armor appeared, rapidly spreading.

The tortoise puppet beast's inherent defense was not much weaker than a low-grade defensive magic tool. Coupled with the intermediate defensive spell, Stone Armor Technique, its defense was comparable to a mid-grade defensive magic tool.

The dense red flying needles struck the yellow stone armor. The surface of the yellow stone armor was pitted, but it had not yet broken.

However, soon, a large number of red light spots appeared in the void again, transforming into thousands of crimson fire blades that continuously struck the yellow stone armor.

Continuous "rumbling" explosions rang out, flames surged, creating an astonishing momentum.

A large number of red light spots appeared out of thin air, and three crimson fire dragons quickly condensed, lunging ferociously downwards.

With three deafening roars, the flames surged fiercely.

Next, crimson fire blades and red flying needles successively plunged into the sea of flames, producing bursts of explosions.

And that wasn't all. A palm-sized red seal flew out from the void, rapidly growing to the size of a house, and swiftly smashed down.

A large number of red light spots appeared again, transforming into three massive crimson fire dragons that lunged towards the sea of flames below.

Just then, two thick blue light pillars shot out from the sea of flames, enveloping the red seal and one of the crimson fire dragons respectively. The red seal and the crimson fire dragon were immediately immobilized, floating motionlessly in mid-air.

The two crimson fire dragons plunged into the sea of flames, erupting with a "rumbling" roar, and the flames surged intensely.

Soon, a large expanse of white cold air emerged from within the flames, which quickly extinguished.

The tortoise puppet disappeared, and a pale white light barrier enveloped Wang Changsheng and the two others. Wang Changsheng's complexion was slightly pale.

"Rise."

Accompanied by Wang Mingjiang's loud shout, a golden needle, about an inch long, flew out from the Talisman Treasure. With a blur, it transformed into thousands of identical golden needles, striking towards the nearby stone wall.

With an earth-shattering roar, the red mist dissipated, and the stone wall was shattered to pieces.

Behind the stone wall stood three Foundation Establishment cultivators—two men and one woman. Each held a red formation disc, and as the stone wall shattered, the red formation discs in their hands also shattered.

The three Foundation Establishment cultivators stood on an open patch of ground. Not far away was a massive cave.

The dense golden flying needles shot towards the three of them. A white-robed old man with a dignified face reacted the fastest; he crushed a Fire Escape Talisman and transformed into scattered red light, vanishing. The other two Foundation Establishment cultivators reacted a beat slower, and the dense golden flying needles pierced their bodies.

Two screams rang out, and the two collapsed.

Wang Changsheng fully extended his spiritual sense. He could sense that there were many Qi Condensation cultivators inside the cave.
