Good Man Xuan Ye
Xuan Ye was very satisfied with the trap he had set.
He concealed all eight Formation Flags of the "Blazing Prairie Formation" within the crevices of the rocks, making them difficult to spot without careful scanning with his spiritual power.
Song Wen's mental power was too strong, exceeding the detection range of the Qi Refinement Perfection realm, and he could even ignore the mental attacks of the Dwarf Ghost.
Xuan Ye guessed that Song Wen most likely possessed a spiritual Law Artifact, and an extremely powerful Law Artifact at that.
This fueled Xuan Ye's greed, and he decided to take a risk and set up an ambush on Song Wen's inevitable route.
Once Song Wen steps into the formation, no matter how strong Song Wen is, he can be slowly worn down and killed.
However, Xuan Ye was somewhat troubled by how to get Song Wen to enter the formation without any precautions. After observing him for the past few days, he had also realized that Song Wen was an extremely cautious person.
Xuan Ye's face suddenly lit up with joy.
"They're here!"
"Hmm? Something doesn't seem right. Guo Tao seems to be running for his life."
Xuan Ye thought to himself.
He hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should stop Song Wen. He was worried that the ghost chasing Song Wen was too powerful, and he would be caught in the crossfire.
Seeing that Song Wen was about to step into the array's range, Xuan Ye steeled his heart.
Fortune favors the bold!
He immediately activated the Formation Plate, and a fiery red light shield appeared out of thin air, trapping Song Wen within the array.
Instantly, flames erupted within the formation, and the temperature rose sharply.
When Xuan Ye discovered Song Wen also discovered him.
Like Xuan Ye, he also showed a joyful expression.
He was just struggling to figure out how to get rid of the dwarf White Bone Ghost when Xuan Ye unexpectedly delivered himself to his doorstep.
Song Wen Xuan Ye harbored ill intentions.
There's most likely an ambush ahead!
When faced with two evils, choose the lesser one!
Compared to the dwarf White Bone Ghost, Xuan Ye was an easy target.
"Haha, Guo Tao, let's see where you go now. Hand over your spiritual energy Law Artifact obediently, and I'll give you a quick death." Xuan Ye said smugly as he watched Song Wen plunge headfirst into the formation.
A golden shield first appeared on Song Wen's body, followed by a green bronze bell, both protecting him within them.
With the dual protection of the Vajra Talisman and the <Myriad Poisons Primordial Body>, Song Wen was still able to withstand the high temperatures within the formation.
He looked at Xuan Ye with gratitude, who was smugly pleased with himself, and thought to himself.
"What a kind person! Helping someone in a time of crisis."
A silver talisman appeared in Song Wen's hand, and a majestic heavenly power surged from it, yet remained dormant.
"Knock knock knock..."
The dwarf skeleton monster appeared with heavy steps.
With each step it took, the noise it made could be heard far and wide within the cave.
Xuan Ye's expression froze as he stared at the suddenly appearing dwarf skeleton monster.
"What the hell is this thing?"
The aura emanating from the dwarf White Bone Ghost was so powerful that it sent chills down Xuan Ye.
"Damn it, the one chasing Guo Tao is this monster, comparable to the Qi Refining Ninth Layer!"
The dwarf White Bone Ghost also noticed Xuan Ye and the <Blazing Prairie Formation>. It mistakenly thought that Xuan Ye and Song Wen were in cahoots. After roughly assessing Xuan Ye's strength and the power of the <Blazing Prairie Formation>, it...
To Xuan Ye's horror, it crashed into the protective barrier of the <Blazing Prairie Formation> without slowing down.
"Boom!"
A sound that shook the heavens and the earth.
The earth shook violently!
Countless rocks above the cave were shattered and fell down.
The protective shield of the "Blazing Prairie Formation" shattered under the fierce impact of the dwarf White Bone Ghost.
The formation was forcibly broken, and the Formation Plate in Xuan Ye's hand shattered into pieces. Xuan Ye was struck as if by lightning, and he spat out mouthfuls of blood. The aura on Xuan Ye's body instantly weakened.
The dwarf White Bone Ghost was also badly hurt. He was knocked back several steps, and the intense heat and the wisp of yang energy from heaven and earth on the protective shield charred many of the skeletons in front of him.
Song Wen's eyes lit up.
"A great opportunity!"
"Snap!"
A deafening thunderclap resounded throughout the entire cave.
A silver lightning bolt appeared out of nowhere.
It twists and turns, swaying and darting about, like a strangely shaped snake or python.
"Boom!"
The silver python struck the dwarf White Bone Ghost, as if the dwarf White Bone Ghost was wrapped in a silver coat.
The mighty power of Heaven sweeps away all filth from the world!
The ghostly aura emanating from the dwarf White Bone Ghost was like pure white snow in spring, fleeting and vanishing in an instant.
Its countless bones quickly turned into piles of powder, which were swept up by the strong wind and drifted in all directions.
When the silver python retreated, the dwarf White Bone Ghost had no bones left on its body, and its aura quickly dropped back to the eighth level of Qi Refinement.
The Dwarf Ghost was already severely injured, and even its soul had become somewhat unstable.
Indeed, the heavenly thunder, Law Technique imbued with the might of heaven, is most effective against evil spirits and monsters.
Song Wen had no idea about the dwarf White Bone Ghost's injuries; he fled as soon as the lightning struck the dwarf White Bone Ghost.
By this time, they were already two miles away.
The badly wounded dwarf White Bone Ghost knew it couldn't catch up with that damned human. Even if it did, its injuries wouldn't be enough to kill him.
Its immediate priority is to heal its injuries as quickly as possible, otherwise it may perish in this perilous underground cave, where countless walking corpses and vengeful ghosts are not to be trifled with.
Its gaze fell upon Xuan Ye, who was severely injured due to the destruction of the formation and had not had time to escape.
A moment later.
The dwarf White Bone Ghost, having devoured Xuan Ye's soul and life force, looked in the direction Song Wen had fled, his killing intent palpable, yet filled with sorrow and helplessness.
It knew that it would probably never have the chance to meet this person again in its lifetime.
I fear I will never have another chance to avenge this Blood Sea!
Unaware of the situation behind him, Song Wen dared not stop for a moment, continuously using the <Blood Escape Technique> and <Blood Sacrifice Technique> to run wildly through the cave.
If you have insufficient Blood Qi, give yourself a bottle of Essence Blood.
He stopped casting the Blood Sacrifice Technique and only used the Blood Escape Technique after drinking the last bottle of Essence Blood.
In just three hours, he completed the journey that had taken him two days to arrive.
The exit of the underground cave is in sight.
Looking at the faint light at the exit, Song Wen felt it was so bright and cheerful.
Song Wen released the flying boat, propelling it with his remaining spiritual power, and it soared into the sky.
We left the Ancient Battlefield.
More than an hour later, Song Wen successfully left the Ancient Battlefield.
He found a Cave on a cliff dozens of miles away from the Ancient Battlefield and hid inside.
After a long battle and escape, his spiritual energy was almost depleted, and he urgently needed to replenish it to prevent any unforeseen events.
However, things didn't go as planned.
Fifteen minutes later.
Three figures appeared on the cliff top: one man and two women. The man Qi Refining Seventh Layer; the two female cultivators were at the Qi Refining Sixth Layer and Qi Refining Fifth Layer, respectively.
"I clearly saw someone arrive here in a flying boat just now, so why can't I sense their presence anymore?" the woman at the Qi Refining Sixth Layer asked.
The male cultivator said, "They must be hiding using some kind of Cultivation Method or Law Artifact that conceals their presence."
"Brother, what should we do?"
"Second Sister, you and I will use Flying Talisman to go down and take a look. Third Sister will stay on the cliff top and keep watch, observing and preparing to provide backup," the male cultivator said.
These three were siblings, wandering Bandit Cultivator on the outskirts of the Ancient Battlefield.
They generally do not attack those who enter the Ancient Battlefield, but choose to wait until they come out before taking action.
Most cultivators who have just emerged from the Ancient Battlefield are injured or have exhausted their spiritual energy, making them relatively easy to ambush.
Moreover, they only target those who are alone or have low cultivation levels.
This cautious strategy allowed them to ambush and kill dozens of cultivators without ever suffering a defeat.
