Chapter 69: Those who bring about their own downfall cannot survive
Translator: 549690339
Following a cacophony of “crackling and clanging”…
The attacks from the magical treasures against the formation were directly repelled.
The light screen of the formation rely rippled, clearly showing no significant effect.
However, a massive “boom” soon followed.
A wave surged upon the light screen of the formation, spreading outward, and at that mont, the entire light screen of the formation also fluctuated slightly.
Their attack, it turned out, was even stronger than that of the two Demonic Beasts.
It was the Flawless Sword that had closely followed in the attack.
With his Flawless Sword being repelled, the previously confident Red-Robed Cultivator was montarily stunned.
He was very familiar with his Flying Sword. As for its offensive power, no other magic artifact could compare to it, yet it couldn’t even break through the defensive array.
This was sothing he found hard to believe.
Of course, had he witnessed the scene of the Demonic Beasts besieging the formation earlier, he probably wouldn’t have thought this way.
But…
This attack made Lin Jing’s heart skip a beat as well.
Because their attack caused the Array Plate to tremble, and the Spirit Stones atop the Array Plate suddenly diminished in spiritual power.
Indeed…
The Cultivators were smarter than the Demonic Beasts, knowing how to utilize the combined strength of everyone to attack.
If such attacks were to continue five or six more tis, the dium Grade Spirit Stones within would likely need imdiate replacent.
The Red -Robed Cultivator frowned, staring at the formation. He refused to believe it would hold and was determined to attack once more.
After pondering for a mont, the Red-Robed Cultivator spoke up: “Don’t know if everybody saw that, but the formation just reacted.”
“If everyone puts in more effort and attacks again, we will definitely break through that formation.”
No sooner had he finished speaking than soone imdiately echoed:
“Good, let’s try once more. Although his formation is strong, it surely can’t withstand our consecutive attacks.”
“Alright.”
“I can’t believe that so many of us can’t break a single formation.”
The crowd expressed their agreent.
Soon, they were ready, with various kinds of magic artifacts rising above their heads.
“Everyone, don’t hold back. Give it your all, and this ti, let’s aim to break their formation in one go,” the Red-Robed man instructed the crowd.
As soon as he spoke, the light from the magic artifacts above everyone’s heads grew brighter, clearly increasing the output of spiritual power.
Seeing this, Lin Jing also beca more cautious.
Seizing the interval while they were preparing, Lin Jing promptly replaced the old with five new dium Grade Spirit Stones.
With the new Spirit Stones swapped in, the formation’s light began to shine even more brightly.
However, at this mont, the crowd was only focused on the Red-Robed Cultivator, and no one noticed Lin Jing’s actions.
“Attack.”
At the command of the Red-Robed Cultivator…
The people promptly maneuvered their magic artifacts, launching an assault on the formation; a barrage of “booms” filled the ears, this attack visibly stronger than the previous one.
Especially the final blow struck by the Red-Robed Cultivator with the Flawless Sword, the “boom” resounded far and wide.
And yet, atop the light screen of the defensive array, only a larger ripple spread out.
The crowd was dumbfounded, staring blankly at the defensive array.
Such a powerful attack, yet the formation was unscathed. What kind of formation was this? It was incredibly robust.
The expressions on everyone’s faces were varied and exceedingly vivid.
However, while this round of attacks had not broken the formation, it had attracted sothing even more deadly.
“Screech…”
A cry from a Demonic Beast echoed from afar, apparently a great distance away as the sound was sowhat faint, yet it was heard by everyone.
Upon hearing it, the Red-Robed Cultivator looked up in the direction of the sound.
But he saw nothing.
“What kind of Demonic Beast’s call is this?”
Soone imdiately asked, evidently none of the group had ever seen a Black Kite.
The Red -Robed Cultivator frowned and said:
“By the sound of it, it should be a Demonic Beast, quickly heading this way.”
“We must hurry.”
Lin Jing and his companions, of course, had also heard this all-too-familiar cry.
Having felt stifled for half a day, Yan Xiong was now imnsely relieved.
“These little brats, better start running. If you don’t escape now, you’ll lose your lives.”
“Hahaha…”
“What did you say?” the man in black roared angrily.
“You just wait…”
“Once we’ve broken your damn formation, I’ll make sure you regret it.”
After glancing at Yan Xiong, the man in black turned hurriedly to the red-robed man:
“Big brother, what do we do now?
“Ascend.”
“We’ll attack the formation from the top; it should be relatively weaker there.”
“Everyone, my big brother has spoken. Let’s all ascend and attack the formation from above.”
Then, they saw the whole group rise into the air, including the red-robed cultivator.
The few people within the formation were imdiately dumbfounded. The Black Kite was about to arrive, and yet this group dared to ascend?
Truly, the ignorant are fearless…
Yan Xiong had already warned them, but not only did they not believe him, they insisted on breaking the formation.
“You reap what you sow, and it serves you right…”
Lin Jing couldn’t help but sigh, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Black Kite.
As for a warning, that was out of the question…
“Screech…”
The sound that now ca was already very clear.
Upon hearing it, the red-robed cultivator’s face instantly turned pale, then he didn’t care what the others thought, quickly retracted his flying sword, and descended from the sky.
The man in black was baffled.
“Big brother, why did you co down?”
“You guys keep attacking the formation, I’ll be back shortly.”
Before his words even finished, the red-robed cultivator had taken out two Body Shaping Talismans and stuck them on himself, then sprinted away at full speed.
Watching the red-robed cultivator’s departing figure, everyone was still confused.
The man in black didn’t think much, turned around, and was just about to instruct everyone to attack the formation.
That’s when he saw a small black dot appear behind them, coming at an extrely fast speed.
It quickly charged into the midst of the people.
Then ca a scream.
“Ahh…”
A cultivator in the air suddenly let out a scream and then plumted from the sky.
Then ca the second scream…
The third scream…
The fourth scream…
So didn’t even have ti to utter a sound before they lost consciousness and fell from the sky.
Only then did the rest of the people react.
They saw a shadow, fast as lightning, darting among them, and every ti it passed through a person’s body, a giant hole appeared in that person’s chest. And then, that person would plumt straight down from the air.
“It’s the Black Kite! !!”
“We’ve been deceived; he used us as bait…”
Soone recognized the shadow and cried out in terror and anger, but it was already too late.
The next mont, that shadow passed through him, leaving a massive hole in his chest.
He plumted to the ground just like the others, stiff as a board.
However, his shout served as a warning for the others.
Upon hearing the na of the Black Kite, people clearly knew sothing and hurriedly tried to reach the ground.
But it was already too late. By the ti they landed, only a few were left.
Why would the Black Kite let them go?
No sooner had these people landed than the Black Kite chased and killed them one by one.
None escaped.
And, the last to die was none other than the man in black.
The man in black, facing death, raged furiously toward the direction where the red-robed cultivator had fled.
“You won’t die a good death…”
However, no sooner had he spoken those words than he died beneath the beak of the Black Kite.
As he died, his eyes were still filled with bitterness, intently fixing on the direction the red-robed cultivator had escaped.
They remained open even in death..
