Chapter 930: Mistake (II)
Eastern Sea.
Waves surged across the sea as hundreds upon thousands of sword shadows from Level Beam peppered the surface. The overcast clouds completely smothered the sun; towering waves crashed skyward; and the entire region was shrouded in mist.
The grand formation that had cloaked everything had been fully revealed. It radiated pulses of golden light as it fended off the dharma artifacts launched by those outside. A red-robed woman had a complicated expression as she activated a petal-shaped ritual implement and knocked down several incoming dharma artifacts.
At Bi Yuzhuang's side, the Feng brothers each wielded spell arts, blocking most of the incoming dharma light. The few that slipped through merely caused faint ripples on the formation's surface, doing little harm.
Yet Bi Yuzhuang felt deeply uneasy. Wang Fu had already been in dire straits, but as a direct disciple of Changxiao Gate, it made no sense for him to die within a few moves.
He had held out for fifty exchanges, and unleashed three talismans in a row. Bi Yuzhuang had even forced out the life-saving Purple Mansion Realm talisman that she had dispelled with a prearranged one of her own.
But now there was a growing crowd outside the formation; the cultivators of Qingzhou Workshop had arrived. Alarmed, Bi Yuzhuang had wanted to end the battle swiftly, but the formation suddenly trembled violently, on the verge of collapse.
"Not good..."
The formation in Bi Yuzhuang’s hands was a treasured item called Yellow Cotton, a formation plate of the Auspicious Essence Dao. It was considered outstanding even among Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators. By rights, it should have easily lasted a while longer.
Yet the moment those cultivators arrived, the formation had begun to shake uncontrollably. Bi Yuzhuang quickly realized something was wrong. When she connected to the formation plate through spiritual sense, she took a closer look and saw eight cultivators outside each holding a golden, slightly illusory spike, while another held a jade talisman linking the eight.
