Chapter 1563: Strange Formation
The four pillars of light shot into the sky, blowing apart the clouds.
“That direction, isn't it the Grand Han’s capital’s city walls?” cried someone.
The Grand Hand’s capital’s city walls were square-shaped, and its four corners corresponded to the four rays of light. However, now that the capital had vanished, the light seemed to come out of nowhere.
Divine runes filled the sky and fell, covering the world. At this time, a huge barrier had enveloped everyone, including Long Chen and the others.
The first expert who had fled was at the front, but when he slammed into the barrier, he exploded into b.l.o.o.d.y mist.
“What?!”
The experts rus.h.i.+ng to flee hastily stopped themselves. However, the barrier had appeared too suddenly, and quite a few people weren’t able to stop their momentum and struck it.
Continuous explosive sounds rang out as those people were all blown to bits. Even their Ancestral items exploded.
The appearance of this sudden barrier shocked everyone, including Long Chen. Was it to keep everyone here?
However, when he looked at Yan Weishan and the others, he saw that they also had surprised expressions. They clearly hadn’t known about this beforehand.
“Peng Wansheng, isn’t this formation supposed to be used for trapping Long Chen? Why is it trapping all of us?” cried an expert from the ancient family alliance.
Peng Wansheng was also befuddled, and he roared back, “Sha Guangyan was the one who arranged this barrier! It was only supposed to be used to trap people within the city. How am I supposed to know what happened?!”
Sha Guangyan had invited an expert to set up a killing formation within the Grand Han’s capital, turning it into a giant cage that Long Chen would never be able to escape from.
All the matters were left to the mysterious expert Sha Guangyan had invited. Apparently, that formation master was extremely mysterious, but his enmity with Long Chen was like a sea of blood, which was why he had come to help Sha Guangyan. However, that mysterious expert hadn’t revealed his face the entire time. And since Sha Guangyan was dead, no one knew where that mysterious expert had gone to.
Now the formation had ended up covering a huge s.p.a.ce ten times greater than it was supposed to. No one could escape now.
“Send out the distress signal!”
“You idiot, the formation blocks our messages!”
Panicked cries rang out. Someone tried launching a ranged attack at the formation, but the barrier caused his attack to rebound and kill him.
“Dragonblood Legion, ignore the formation. Kill all these people!” shouted Long Chen. Although he didn’t know the situation behind the formation, at least currently, it didn’t matter.
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!
“No!”
The Dragonblood Legion’s rhythm didn’t change. They were like one giant slaughter machine, slaying these experts in droves. Their so-called alliance was thrown in complete chaos and they were unable to form any effective defense. More and more of them were dying.
“Zither Fairy, your Illusive Music Immortal Palace is also one of the protectors of the continent! Are you just going to watch these murderous devils do as they please?!” Yan Weishan suddenly let out a furious roar. The three of them were unable to do anything to Long Chen, and they couldn't help their people.
The experts standing in the neutral camp turned to Zi Yan in surprise. Did Zi Yan have some sort of relations.h.i.+p with Pill Valley? What did it mean for them to be the protectors of the Martial Heaven Continent? They had never heard of such a thing.
“How despicable,” snorted Yu Tong disdainfully.
Zi Yan didn’t react. It was like she hadn’t heard Yan Weishan’s shout. It was unknown what she was thinking.
“Zither Fairy, please-!”
Pfft!
“Zither Fairy, save me-!”
Pfft!
Although there were many experts on that side, the Dragonblood Legion cut them down like wheat, harvesting their lives. They had nowhere to run now and began to beg Zi Yan for help, but their begging ended up splitting their attention, causing them to die even faster.
