It happened without warning—an urgent crisis!
Fan Lang reacted at once, activating the Six Paths Golden Wheel and swallowing the incoming chains into it, grinding them into fragments.
Others did not necessarily possess such strength.
Over a hundred chains shot out at once. With everyone situated within the passageway and packed relatively close together, there was little room to maneuver.
Everyone displayed their abilities. Some attacked in response, while others dodged aside.
The chains moved like Spirit Snakes, twisting through the air and tracking their targets. Even when evaded, they launched another pursuit.
People were struck one after another. Thirty-seven of them were hit by the chains, which clung to them like vines winding up a pole, binding them tightly.
The strange thing was that these chains did not bind their fleshly bodies. Instead, they seeped into their bodies and wrapped around their souls.
As the leader, Meng Chen swung his broadsword, forcibly severing many of the wildly flying chains.
Fan Lang struck directly at the source, thrusting his sword toward the formation that was releasing the chains. But when he clearly saw what the formation looked like, he immediately stopped.
This formation was somewhat unusual; it could not simply be destroyed at will.
"Don't casually cut the chains wrapped around your bodies. I recognize this—it's the Soul Locking Array, and those chains are Soul Binding Locks, specially made to lock souls. Once someone is bound by such a chain, their soul becomes fused with it, so damage to one means damage to both. If you forcibly destroy the chain, your own soul will suffer grievous harm and might even suffer soul shattering and spirit scattering. The Soul Locking Array is very difficult to set up. This should be one of Three Talents Academy's trump cards," Fan Lang shouted to
