Chapter 837: Breaking the Formation and Counterattacking: Xiao Bei Shows Wisdom
The violent formation was like a trapped beast, making a deafening roar, and the scarlet light made it almost impossible for Xiao Bei to open his eyes.
The runes in the center of the formation twisted and tumbled like a red-hot iron, emitting suffocating heat waves.
He felt a strong sense of oppression, as if he was in a furnace, and his skin was burning.
"Not good!" Xiao Bei cried in his heart. The power of this formation was far beyond his imagination.
He originally thought it was just an ordinary defensive formation, but he didn't expect it to contain such terrifying power.
He subconsciously used his immortal power to protect his body, but found that the speed of the immortal power flow became abnormally slow, as if it was suppressed by an invisible force.
At this moment, the rune in the center of the formation suddenly exploded, turning into countless red light spots that poured down like a rainstorm.
Xiao Bei quickly swung the sword in his hand, shattering the attacking light spots one by one.
However, there were too many light spots and he was unable to resist them completely.
"Xiao Bei!" Bei Li's anxious voice came from a distance.
She was trapped at the other end of the formation and couldn't get close to Xiao Bei.
Xiao Bei turned his head and saw Bei Li surrounded by a red mist of light, in which an evil figure could be vaguely seen.
The figure was tall and slender, with a charming appearance and a pair of scarlet eyes flashing with a cold light.
"Formation elf!" Xiao Bei recognized the identity of the figure at a glance.
The formation elves are the guardians of the formation and possess great power, but usually do not actively attack.
Unless someone touches the core of the formation.
The formation elf laughed sharply, the sound as harsh as the friction of metal: "Xiao Bei, you actually dared to trespass into my territory, you really don't know how to live or die!"
Before he finished speaking, the formation spirit turned into a red lightning and attacked Xiao Bei.
She was as fast as lightning and Xiao Bei had no time to dodge.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, Xiao Bei was knocked away by the formation elf and fell heavily on the edge of the formation.
He only felt the blood and energy in his body surging, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
The formation elf did not give Xiao Bei a chance to breathe. She turned into a red light again and attacked Xiao Bei.
"Xiao Bei, be careful!" Fairy Qingmeng exclaimed and quickly used her magic weapon to try to stop the formation elf.
However, the speed of the formation elf was too fast, and Fairy Qingmeng's magic weapon could not capture her figure at all.
Just as the formation elf's attack was about to fall on Xiao Bei, Elder Lingfeng suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Bei and blocked the formation elf's attack.
"Elder Lingfeng!" Xiao Bei was shocked.
Elder Lingfeng is a highly respected elder in the fairy world, and his strength is unfathomable.
With his help, Xiao Bei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hmph, you are overestimating yourself!" The formation elf snorted coldly and launched another attack.
Elder Lingfeng was not to be outdone. He waved the whisk in his hand and engaged in a fierce battle with the formation elf.
The two sides went back and forth, fighting inextricably.
Xiao Bei struggled to stand up and looked at the fierce battle in front of him, feeling extremely anxious.
He knew that he had to find a way to break the formation as soon as possible, otherwise they would all be trapped here.
Suddenly, he noticed some strange runes engraved on a stone tablet at the edge of the formation.
"Could it be..." Xiao Bei's heart moved, and he hurried forward to check.
"Xiao Bei, what are you doing?" Bei Li's voice came again, his tone full of worry.
"I seem to have found a way to break the formation!" Xiao Bei said without turning his head, his eyes fixed on the runes on the stone tablet.
"Really?" Beili asked in surprise.
"I'm not sure yet, I need some time." Xiao Bei said, stretching out his hand and gently stroking the runes on the stone tablet.
At this moment, the runes on the stone tablet suddenly lit up, emitting dazzling light.
Xiao Bei only felt his eyes blurred, and then he lost consciousness...
"Xiao Bei!" Bei Li's terrified cry echoed in the empty formation...
The scarlet light danced wildly in the formation, like a beast with bared fangs and claws, wanting to devour everything.
Xiao Bei only felt that the immortal power in his body was rapidly dissipating like the tide, and every time he swung his sword, it became extremely heavy.
Sweat soaked his clothes, sticking to his body and giving him a sticky feeling.
He felt dizzy, the world in front of him began to blur, and his legs felt heavy as if they were filled with lead.
Beili's situation is not optimistic either.
Her originally fair face was now as pale as paper, and her cherry lips had lost their color.
She gritted her teeth and held on, but the immortal power in her hands became weaker and weaker, and the evil figure outside the light fog seemed to be ready to swallow her up at any time.
Elder Lingfeng's hair and beard stood on end, and his originally steady aura became disordered. The speed of waving the whisk in his hand slowed down significantly, and beads of sweat the size of beans oozed out of his forehead.
"Hahaha, a dying struggle!" The sharp laughter of the formation elf echoed in the formation, like a death note, piercing people's eardrums.
"Just become the nourishment of this formation!" The scarlet light surged again, and the temperature in the formation suddenly rose, as if to melt everything.
Just when everyone was on the verge of despair, a clear and cold voice rang out like the sound of nature: "Ice Soul Cold Lotus, condense!"
A huge ice-blue lotus appeared out of thin air, emitting a biting chill.
The lotus slowly rotated, enveloping the formation spirit.
The scarlet light and the icy blue cold air collided with each other, making a sizzling sound, like ice and snow meeting fire.
The formation spirit's movements slowed down noticeably, and its originally arrogant demeanor also subsided a lot.
She roared angrily, but was unable to break free from Binglian's restraints.
Xiao Bei looked up and saw Fairy Qingmeng standing in the air with her clothes fluttering in the wind, just like the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens.
She made hand gestures, controlling the Ice Soul Cold Lotus, her eyes firm and calm.
"Xiao Bei, hurry!" Fairy Qingmeng's cold voice was filled with anxiety, "This Ice Soul Cold Lotus won't hold out for much longer!"
A fire of hope ignited in Xiao Bei's heart. He looked at Fairy Qingmeng with gratitude, then took a deep breath and said to Beili and Elder Lingfeng, "Let's work together to attack the weak point of the formation with all our strength!"
He pointed to a place at the edge of the formation where there was a faint glow, which was where the rune he had discovered earlier was.
"As long as we break through there, we can get out!"
Beili and Elder Lingfeng also saw hope. They forced themselves to cheer up, concentrated all their remaining spiritual power together, and prepared to launch the final attack.
"Wait..." Fairy Qingmeng suddenly spoke, her eyes fixed on the trapped formation spirit, her brows furrowed. "This formation... seems to have something wrong..."
Xiao Bei suppressed the dizziness, calmed himself down, and turned his gaze again to the stone tablet engraved with runes.
The light on the stone tablet flickered, as if telling some secret.
He stretched out his hand and lightly touched the ancient runes with his fingertips. A cool touch instantly spread throughout his body.
He felt as if his consciousness was being pulled into a whirlpool, and countless pieces of information flooded into his mind like a tide.
Fairy Qingmeng controlled the Bingpo Hanlian, and beads of sweat oozed from her forehead.
She stared at the formation spirit intently, not daring to relax at all.
The ice-blue lotus and the scarlet light continuously collided, making a teeth-grinding friction sound, and the air was filled with a burning smell.
She knew that the power of the Ice Soul Cold Lotus was rapidly depleting, and she had to find a way to break the formation as soon as possible.
Elder Lingfeng slowly exhaled a breath of foul air, and his aura gradually returned to normal.
He waved the whisk in his hand, erecting a defensive barrier for everyone, blocking the impact of the aftermath of the formation.
He stared at Xiao Bei, feeling extremely anxious, but he didn't dare to disturb him for fear of affecting his thoughts.
At this moment, Beili, who was originally shrouded in red light mist, had his eyelashes trembling slightly and slowly opened his eyes.
She struggled to sit up and saw Xiao Bei concentrating on studying the stone tablet. Her pretty face showed heartache and worry.
She didn't care about her weak body, struggled to stand up, walked to Xiao Bei, and gently held his hand.
She could feel the coldness of his fingertips and the weariness of his body.
She didn't say anything, but just snuggled up to him quietly, passing her warmth to him.
Xiao Bei felt a warmth around him and turned to look at Bei Li. He gently patted the back of her hand, signaling her to be at ease, and then turned his gaze to the runes on the stone tablet.
He carefully sorted out the information that flooded into his mind, trying to find clues to crack the formation.
The formation suddenly began to vibrate violently, and the surrounding space began to distort. A suffocating feeling of oppression came again. The power of the formation was increasing and becoming more violent.
Xiao Bei felt a tightness in his chest and a sweetness in his throat. A fishy and sweet smell rushed up his throat, and he used all his strength to suppress it.
"No, the power of this formation does not come from a single point, but is interconnected to form a cycle!" Xiao Bei suddenly woke up, he looked up at Fairy Qingmeng, with a hint of excitement in his voice.
"Fairy Qingmeng, this formation is not a simple defensive formation, but an energy circulation formation. The core of the formation is not the formation elf, but those runes!" He quickly told Fairy Qingmeng the results of his analysis.
Fairy Qingmeng was stunned when she heard this, but then she quickly reacted and realized the crux of the problem.
"Xiao Bei, are you saying that we must break this energy cycle in order to completely crack the formation?"
"That's right!" Xiao Bei affirmed. He looked up at the formation with a determined gaze. "But this loop node doesn't have just one, but multiple nodes. They must be broken simultaneously."
Bei Li listened to the conversation between Xiao Bei and Fairy Qing Meng, her eyes fixed on the formation without blinking. An unknown premonition arose spontaneously. She tugged at Xiao Bei's sleeve, her tone filled with a hint of doubt and uneasiness: "Xiao Bei, do you feel that... the runes on this formation... seem to... move?"
Xiao Bei looked in the direction of Bei Li's finger, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
Sure enough, the runes on the stone tablet were not still, but were moving slowly, flashing with strange light as if breathing.
Their movement trajectories are not chaotic, but follow certain rules, connecting with each other to form a complex network.
"It's the direction of energy flow!" Xiao Bei's heart was shocked. He finally found the final flaw of the formation.
These moving runes are the key nodes of energy circulation.
As long as these nodes are destroyed at the same time, the energy cycle can be interrupted and the formation can be completely destroyed.
"Fairy Qingmeng, did you see that? Those runes are the key to the formation!" Xiao Bei pointed at the runes on the stone tablet, his tone hurried and excited, "We must break them all at the same time!"
Fairy Qingmeng followed Xiao Bei's guidance and also discovered something strange about the rune.
She took a deep breath, a look of determination flashing in her eyes. "Alright! I'll use the Ice Soul Cold Lotus to control the formation spirits, and you look for opportunities to attack those runes!"
Before she finished speaking, Fairy Qingmeng formed seals with her hands, and the ice-blue lotus shone brightly, firmly imprisoning the formation spirit inside.
The formation spirit let out a shrill roar, but was unable to break free from the restraints.
Seeing this, Xiao Bei no longer hesitated.
The long sword in his hand flashed, and his figure turned into a stream of light, shuttling through the formation.
His eyes were as sharp as torches, accurately locking onto every moving rune. He swung the sword in his hand like the wind, and the sword energy was rampant, shattering the runes one by one.
"Kakaka..."
As the runes were shattered, the formation made a series of cracking sounds, like the sound of breaking glass, extremely harsh.
The scarlet light began to dim, and the power of the formation gradually weakened.
"what--"
The formation elf let out a shrill scream, her body began to twist and deform, and finally turned into a ball of black mist and dissipated in the air.
The formation completely collapsed, making a deafening noise.
The scarlet light disappeared completely, and the surrounding scene returned to normal.
At the original location of the formation, a passage leading to the depths of darkness appeared.
The entrance to the passage was filled with a gloomy atmosphere, like a call from hell, which made people shudder.
Xiao Bei took a deep breath, looked firmly at the dark passage, and said to Bei Li and Elder Ling Feng, "Let's go!"
