Immortal of the Nine Realms-Chapter 1352: Thunderfire Seven Immortal Soldier Kill Formation
Little Immortal Honglian was taken aback. She had not expected that she and Fang Chen would one day be the targets of a robbery themselves.
However, it made sense. The people she and Fang Chen had been targeting were far stronger than Qin Zhen and his group. Fundamentally, they weren't even on the same level. Qin Zhen and the others naturally wouldn't know what they had experienced.
"How boring," Little Immortal Honglian scoffed coldly, signaling Fang Chen to leave.
These people's jade tokens had already been emptied clean, so fighting was pointless.
Seeing that Fang Chen and Little Immortal Honglian intended to leave, Qin Zhen and his group rose into the air to chase.
Of the several hundred Dao Union Realm cultivators present, at least half grew greedy and joined Qin Zhen in surrounding Fang Chen and Little Immortal Honglian.
Qin Zhen smiled faintly. "Daoist Hong, no matter how powerful your techniques are, what can you do when facing hundreds of cultivators at the same level?"
Seemingly sensing Little Immortal Honglian's slight change in expression, he couldn't help but sigh lightly.
"I told you it wouldn't do anyone good if we didn't join hands for the assessment. But you didn't listen and insisted on allying with Daoist Fang. Although his methods must be special if they caught your eye, you are just two people at the end of the day."
At that moment, someone exclaimed. "Wait, her jade token's aura... isn't it too dense?!"
"His too!" another said.
Such a dense aura of spiritual energy could only appear when the strands of spiritual energy reached a certain threshold, and it was nearly impossible to conceal. After all, these jade tokens were the personal handiwork of Ancient Immortals.
This was likely deliberate on the part of the Enlightenment God Palace.
Qin Zhen and the others reacted immediately, their expressions turning unnatural as they realized what was happening. It seemed that Little Immortal Honglian and Fang Chen had indeed done well in this assessment. Compared to their own situation, it was like night and day.
One Dao Union Realm cultivator's eyes turned red. "Quick! Hand over your jade tokens!"
Unable to wait any longer, he launched an attack.
Little Immortal Honglian's gaze turned icy as she raised her hand to cast Fiery Phoenix.
The incoming attack was immediately devoured, and the attacker was reduced to ashes. His spiritual barrier had been as fragile as tofu before Fiery Phoenix.
This immediately stunned the people watching, and they felt their eagerness fizzle out.
"Everyone, be careful! She has the true Black Phoenix body. Her fire affinity is incredibly high. Even a dozen opponents at the Dao Union Realm might not be able to defeat her," warned Qin Zhen. "If we want to suppress her, we must all stick together! Do not hold back, everyone! Or you'll be caught in her deadly flames!"
"Step aside, these two must be dealt with by us personally," a voice rang in Qin Zhen and the others' ears.
Hearing the cold tone of the voice, everyone shivered. The owner of the voice was none other than the woman who had set up the Thunderfire Seven Immortal Soldier Kill Formation with her group and robbed their jade tokens' spiritual energy!
Everyone turned their heads, and sure enough, they saw Meng Qingling from the Thunderfire Immortal Sect, coldly watching Fang Chen and Little Immortal Honglian with a group of cultivators.
Qin Zhen gritted his teeth and gathered his courage to argue. "You... stole over a thousand strands of spiritual energy from us already. Why are you trying to compete with us for these two?"
Meng Qingling glanced at him and chuckled. "What's your measly thousand strands worth? Divided among us, there is barely any left for each of us. Compared to these two, you guys are paupers."
The crowd was stunned.
Before they could open their mouths to argue, the cultivators around Meng Qingling started chasing them away.
Having already witnessed the power of the Thunderfire Seven Immortal Soldier Kill Formation, the crowd didn't resist at all. They didn't want to get into another fight with these people.
Meng Qingling looked at Fang Chen with a smile. "Didn't expect to see me again, did you?"
"I told you back then, cooperating with us is your best bet. Partnering up with that girl is just a waste of your abilities."
She paused for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "Wait, don't tell me you guys are a couple?"
Little Immortal Honglian furrowed her brow, unaffected by the provocation. Instead, she was focused on sizing up the strength of Meng Qingling's group. The fact that they returned and dared to seek them out showed they were completely confident.
Unlike before, Meng Qingling now had seventeen cultivators gathered around her. With Meng Qingling herself, that made exactly eighteen people. They clearly intended to cooperate to enter the Enlightenment God Palace together.
Among these cultivators, there were many people whom Little Immortal Immortal didn't know. However, their auras weren't any weaker than those of Yu Wuxia or Lin Yuan, at most slightly inferior.
"You're from the same sect," said Fang Chen.
Meng Qingling smiled slightly. "You noticed? Since you were unwilling to cooperate with me, I had to form a team with my fellow sect members. Though their cultivation may not match yours in a one-on-one battle, we are, after all, of the Thunderfire Immortal Sect. In my formation, they can unleash immense power."
"How many strands of spiritual energy do you have?" asked Fang Chen, unbothered.
The cultivators around Meng Qingling furrowed their brows.
What is he implying? Is he trying to rob us?
Just a moment ago, when hundreds of cultivators faced the Thunderfire Seven Immortal Soldier Kill Formation, they had no choice but to obediently hand over their jade tokens. What chance did these two have?
Meng Qingling's lips curled into a slight smile, and she ordered, "Set up the formation."
In an instant, the surroundings began to change. Qin Zhen and the others vanished.
Little Immortal Honglian and Fang Chen felt as though they had been transported to a forbidden domain. Below, molten lava churned, capable of burning all things. Occasionally, lightning struck from the sky.
"This is not an illusion," reminded Fang Chen.
The surroundings slowly started to transform into lines. He silently activated the Primordial Immortal Eyes and began analyzing the Thunderfire Seven Immortal Soldier Killing Formation.
Since Fang Wushi had achieved Dao, Fang Chen's mastery over the Primordial Immortal Eyes had reached new heights. Not to mention, he had once observed Fang Wushi's cultivation process in the Three Thousand Dao Realms.
In the blink of an eye, Fang Chen grasped the underlying principle behind the Thunderfire Immortal Soldier Seven Killing Formation.
At that moment, a hundred-foot-tall giant suddenly rose from the magma and swung a fist toward Little Immortal Honglian and Fang Chen.
Little Immortal Honglian's expression tightened. The punch carried force that surpassed her all-out attack by at least one level!
Without a doubt, if she had been trapped inside the domain alone, she would be the one to suffer loss.
Little Immortal Honglian and Fang Chen swiftly dodged the giant's punch. But then, five more giants rose from the magma.
Little Immortal Honglian's heart sank.
