Chapter 340 - The Copper Man (1/2)
“The Ling Family, I’ll let them live for another day…” Xiao Chen repeated these words monotonously as he looked at the sunset, and his eyes became colder.
In the night, the wind was cold, and the silver moon hung high up in the sky. Bai Ying sat in the Moon-watch Pavilion alone as he gazed at the moon. A few empty wine jars were placed at his feet.
“Live your life to the fullest as you can’t stop it from ending for the dead remains dead…”
Xiao Chen gently walked over. Bai Ying smiled bitterly and said, “Senior Brother had used to make me drink less. He said that a cultivator shouldn’t be reeking of alcohol. Now he has gone and finally, no one is nagging in my ear… and that wooden-head disciple of mine, every time I yelled at him, he always keeps his head down and doesn’t talk. Now, who am I going to swear at…”
Xiao Chen silently entered the pavilion and cleaned up a few empty jars at her feet. He whispered, “It’s my fault; I got us into the trouble…”
Bai Ying forced a smile. She finally turned around to look at him and said, “Have you found the person you were looking for yet?”
Xiao Chen sighed and shook his head.
“Are you going to continue your search?”
“Yes!” Xiao Chen’s eyes focused on the lonely moon in the sky and said, “To above the heavens and into the underworld, if I can’t find her in heaven, I’ll go beyond the sky and if I can’t find her beneath the earth, I’ll turn the earth over! Until I find her!”
Both of them were silent. The night wind blew gently, the leaves rustled, and it was like the sound of sorrow. After a long time, Xiao Chen sighed and said, “You go back and rest. I will lay down the defense formation on the mountain tomorrow.”
“Are you at the Nascent Soul Realm already?”
“Yep……”
The next morning, Xiao Chen came to Canglongfeng Square. Qingluan and Ziyun’er followed closely behind, and several elders were also there as well as some surviving disciples.
This time, the defensive formation that Xiao Chen was going to set up was called the Immortal Incineration Sword Formation. It was different from the formation at the back mountain that guarded the Spiritual Meridian. This formation consisted of these four formation points respectively; the immortal extermination, the immortal lancination, the immortal trap and the end of immortal. It had a formidable force. Once triggered by the intruder, the intruder would perish under the attack of hundreds of millions of Sword Qi in the formation.
After everything was ready, Xiao Chen nodded at the several elders before leaping and rushing into the clouds like a golden ray of light. Many disciples below took a deep breath as Xiao Chen stood above the clouds in rays of golden light. He was like a deity, putting the rising sun to shame. Everyone felt the powerful aura of the Nascent Soul Realm.
As Xiao Chen chanted the incantation, countless golden rays emitted off him and scattered in all corners of Lingtai Mountain. Then the four 100-feet long swords appeared out of thin air. The white sword in the east was the Immortal Extermination, the red sword in the west was the Immortal Lancination, the purple sword in the south was the Immortal Trap and the green sword in the north was the End of Immortal.
The four sword radiance fell at the same time and penetrated the four corners of Lingtai Mountain; the east, the west, the north, and the south. As the sword formation settled, the whole Lingtai Mountain shook violently. Everyone felt the huge wave of spirit energy fluctuations from the formation.
But it was not over. Xiao Chen continued to chant incantations with hand spells. The layers and layers of golden mystic arts shielded the Lingtai Mountain below, and layers and layers of it buried into the mountain. The sea of clouds in the sky rolled, emitting rays of light. This magnificent scene put everyone in awe.
Two hours had passed and it was yet to be completed. This time, Xiao Chen had to reinforce the respective formation point so that the formation would not be easily destroyed. At this moment, his face was gradually becoming pale. It was obvious that he had overspent his True Energy and was barely holding on.
Qingluan and Ziyun’er looked at each other immediately transformed into a blue and a purple light. They rushed up into the sky and each transferred a steady stream of True Energy into Xiao Chen’s body before he could speak.
Another two hours had passed, layers of golden mystic arts shielded mountain and surrounded the entire Lingtai Mountain. The three of them in the sky were majoring depleting their True Energy. Their faces were as white as paper. Qingluan said eagerly, “Lord, please stop! If you continue, you will ruin your Natal True Energy!”
The so-called Natal True Energy was different from the True Energy that was obtained through cultivation. Once it was worn out, it could not be rebuilt. Drops of perspirations fell off Xiao Chen’s like rain. He spoke in a deep low voice, “The formation is not done yet, and we’ll lose all our efforts if we stop now!” Then he mustered all the True Energy in his body. Soon, the entire Lingtai Mountain was covered by a layer of golden talisman.
The two sisters saw that he was going to expend his Natal True Energy this time. They could not care more and hastily cast an incantation. A purple and a green True Energy were soon transferred into Xiao Chen’s body. It was the Natal True Energy of the two sisters. They would rather have their cultivation at stake than having Xiao Chen injured.
Finally, at twilight, the Immortal Extermination Formation was completed. In the future, the Lingtai Mountain could be said to be impenetrable. At this moment, the True Energy of the three above was completely worn out. Xiao Chen was as white as paper, his body trembled and fell straight onto the ground.
“Lord!”
