Chapter 180 (1/2)

“Like you all just saw, this barrier can reflect all forces.” Seeing how the barrier remained untouched, her heart sank. The force that had repelled her was the exhibited the same pressure as she when she approached the barrier. It was the exact same as hers.

“The hell is with this barrier?!” Xi Shaoqi cursed. He bent down, picked up a rock, then threw it at the barrier. As they expected, just as the rock was about to touch the barrier, it was bounced back.

There was no way out. No matter how much strength they used, it would all be bounced back.

“Let me try.” With a wave of his hand, a giant blade of wind appeared in Feng Yixuan’s hand.

“Don’t.” Qi Aoshuang shook her head.

“If I attack with a force larger than the barrier can bear, then perhaps it won’t be reflected and break the barrier instead.” Feng Yixuan surmised. He was about to use all his strength to attack.

“And if not?” Qi Aoshuang asked quietly.

Everyone’s heart shuddered. If not? Who could block Feng Yixuan’s attack? Feng Yixuan’s power was not insane. If he used all his strength to attack, perhaps no one would be able to block it, including himself.

Feng Yixuan blinked. He experimentally slashed at the barrier. The reflected force made his jaw drop. Its speed and power was the exact same. Feng Yixuan immediately erected a barrier to dissipate the attack. Inwardly, he was sweating cold sweat. What if using all his strength didn’t break the barrier?

“What do we do?” Feng Yixuan sheathed his sword, a little gloomy. The thought of being killed by himself was a little depressing.

“Yeah, what are we going to do? Are we just going to stay stuck here?” Xi Shaoqi glanced at the other people, then shivered. They were already dead, but they still continued what they did when they were alive. It was too creepy.

“Haha, don’t waste your brain. No matter what strength you use, you can’t break this magic formation. If you want to die quickly, just attack the barrier. If you want to die slowly, just obediently stay inside, hahaha…” a sinister laugh came from outside of the barrier. It was definitely the person who had set up the barrier. Then the voice disappeared. He obviously thought there was no way they could break the barrier, so he left to stay somewhere else more comfortable. He thought that just after waiting, he would be able to collect their bodies.

“Fuck! You bastard!” Xi Shaoqi cursed.

“I’ll kill you once we get out!” Feng Yixuan gnashed his teeth.

Leng Lingyun uttered in a low voice, “I have never seen nor heard of such a magic formation spell. There is no record of it in the library of the Temple of Light.”

“Tch, just because the Temple of Light doesn’t know doesn’t mean that no one else knows.” Although Xi Shaoqi knew Leng Lingyun was on their side, he still couldn’t help but be annoyed hearing the Temple of Light brought up.

“Are you saying you know then?” Qi Aoshuang said coldly, shutting him up.

“Let’s first rest. Standing here won’t do anything,” she said. “Let’s sit inside the inn.”

Everyone agreed. Xi Shaosi led the way to the inn, whereas Xi Shaoqi stubbornly attacked the barrier, but the result was still the same. It always reflected the attacks the way they had came. Although Xi Shaoqi was prepared for this, he was still unsatisfied. Everyone else simply ignored him.

In the inn, there were no guests in the main hall. The owner continued to clean a cup behind the counter without stopping, while a waiter continued to wipe a table. The two’s movements never stopped.

Xi Shaoqi shivered inwardly. He sat at the furthest table, swallowing, trying his best not to see the undead.

“My lady, I dislike this place…” Xi Shaoqi’s voice carried a tremor.

“What do you think?” Qi Aoshuang looked out the window. Out on the streets, the sparse people continued to walk back and forth.

“To break the spell, we must either forcefully shatter the barrier or kill the spellcaster.” Leng Lingyun said coldly.

“There is only one choice then. The spellcaster is outside, so if we want to kill him, then we must leave. But we can’t leave,” Feng Yixuan said with annoyance.

“The problem is, how did he cast this spell? This village is not big, but it’s not small either. In the end, we only saw him. The barrier was also erected immediately after we entered.” Qi Aoshuang frowned.

“Even master would need us two or other people to assist him to erect such a barrier.” Xi Shaosi stroked his chin. “But this barrier is so large. How did he create it by himself?”

“What if he used a treasure?” Xi Shaoqi blinked. He sat down and scooted towards Xi Shaosi. Every time he saw those two undead, he would shiver.

“A treasure?” Everyone looked at Xi Shaoqi.

“Just a guess.” Xi Shaoqi shrugged.

Suddenly, Qi Aoshuang thought of something. “Do you guys remember how the barrier appeared?”
