Inside the formation, the deathly silence was broken by Li Sihai's heavy gasps and the crackling of Li Chengjie's clenched knuckles.
"Alchemist Li..." Li Sihai's voice was hoarse with rage and spiritual energy depletion. He looked at Li Chengjie, his eyes filled with the pain of betrayal and a trace of helpless confusion. "What... what do we do now?"
Li Chengjie forcibly suppressed his surging Qi and Blood and towering fury.
Li Chengjie knew that anger could solve nothing now. It would only hasten their deaths.
Xiao Yan and Liu Ruyan's betrayal was indeed hateful, but by a twist of fate, they had drawn away the two strongest enemies, leaving them a sliver of hope!
"Stay calm, Brother Li!" Li Chengjie's sharp gaze swept across the entrance, where the light screen of the "Nine Nether Spirit Binding Lock" still remained. Yet its spiritual glow seemed somewhat dimmer, perhaps because its controller's cultivation level had fallen and his attention was divided. He then looked toward the two Chen Family cultivators outside, who were staring tensely into the cave and were only at Qi Refining Level 6.
"The situation has changed! Our chance is here!" Li Chengjie spoke rapidly, with a decisiveness that brooked no doubt. "Only two Qi Refining Level 6 cultivators are left outside! The formation's power has greatly weakened! Our previous plan—detonating the Dharma Artifacts to disrupt the formation—now is the time!"
At those words, Li Sihai's spirits surged! That was right—the strongest enemies had gone after Xiao Yan and the others. The ones left were merely two Qi Refining Level 6 cultivators!
Though they were in poor condition, it was not as though they had no strength left to fight!
"Right! Fuck it! Let's do it! Even if we die, we'll drag those two Chen Family bastards down
