As Mu Han let out a roar, the enormous array that had been hovering in the sky suddenly began to operate. The huge octagon contained a smaller seven-pointed star and several smaller star-shaped arrays, layer upon layer. When the outermost octagon began to rotate, the several arrays inside also began to rotate, and the golden light shone brightly, even more dazzling than the sun in the sky, and even the heavens and earth changed color.
After the Ancient Heaven Spirit-Slaying Formation began to operate, surging energies of heaven and earth were drawn into the array and continuously gathered into it. An astonishing killing aura also spread out along with the condensation of these energies, forming an invisible barrier that enveloped the entire sky above Qingyang City.
In the sky, when Bai Hua and the others noticed the change, all eyes immediately converged on them. Looking up, they saw the Sky-Piercing Killing Array filled with murderous aura high in the sky. The expressions on everyone's faces immediately changed. Then, Bai Hua's gaze fell on Zhong Li, who was trapped by Mu Han. Faced with the latter's array, Zhong Li had no chance of breaking through even if he tried his best.
This means that, given the current situation, they have lost Zhong Li, a major force. On the battlefield now, the only person who can still contend with the two Origin Transformation Realm experts and Mu Han is Bai Hua. Once Bai Hua is defeated, Qingyang City will be completely destroyed.
However, just as Bai Hua was still thinking about how to stall for time, from the astonishing killing formation in the sky, clusters of golden energy balls suddenly fell from the sky like meteorites, aimlessly crashing into the city below. Instantly, countless onlookers, as well as the Liu Clan's mansion, were caught in the crossfire.
Under the bombardment of countless energy orbs, countless spectators in the city perished in an instant under the bombardment of the formation. The once prosperous Qingyang City was reduced to ruins in just a few minutes, with corpses strewn everywhere and broken walls and rubble, a truly tragic scene.
Even Liu Huabai and the others who were fiercely fighting in the sky were also thrown into the city by the chaotic bombardment. Although they were not seriously injured, they suffered a lot. In addition, with the enemy's Dou Di experts constantly pursuing them, the battle situation quickly turned against them, and they obviously could not hold out for long.
Damn it!
Seeing this, Bai Hua couldn't help but grit his teeth and curse inwardly. The killing formation in the sky was truly a problem. If it were allowed to continue operating, even he would probably suffer serious injuries. Although Qin Zhong and the others were more powerful than Liu Huabai and the others, they were also in great danger in the face of this situation. They could barely protect themselves, let alone save Zhong Li.
Therefore, Bai Hua is now the only person who still has a chance to save Zhong Li.
However, just as Bai Hua was about to make a move, the two experts at the Origin Transformation Realm flashed and blocked his way again. At the same time, Mu Han also stood between the two, staring at him with a cold smile.
"Hehehe, you want to save people? I think you should think about yourself first!"
With a mocking laugh, Mu Han raised his hand and waved it. The two people beside him shot out towards Bai Hua in an instant. Their figures were like ghosts. In the blink of an eye, they were in front of Bai Hua and attacked from both sides, striking Bai Hua's vital parts.
Faced with the fierce attacks of the two, even with Bai Hua's cultivation level, he dared not be careless in the slightest. He used both hands at the same time, and with the surge of Origin Qi in his body, he blocked the attacks of the two. Just as the three separated, Mu Han's figure appeared behind Bai Hua again. The golden light in his right palm shone brightly, and he slammed down hard on Bai Hua's back.
Get out of here!
With a grim expression, Bai Hua's body jolted violently, twisting sharply in an extremely bizarre posture, and colliding fiercely with the golden light with his palm.
"Boom!"
With a single strike, Bai Hua staggered backward, looking somewhat disheveled. Mu Han was also blasted away by Bai Hua's palm strike. Although the opponent was quite skilled in array formations, he was no match for Bai Hua in a direct confrontation.
In the instant his body paused, Bai Hua looked down at his charred hand with a grave expression. After colliding with that golden light, even he couldn't completely withstand its powerful force. Mu Han's combat strength was probably no less than his own, and with the other two guys added to the mix, he was afraid his life was in danger in this battle!
"Well..."
With a helpless sigh, Bai Hua could only hope that Murong Qianqian would quickly take Lian'er away from here. Otherwise, he himself would be fine in his predicament, but Murong Qianqian and Lian'er were equally important to him. One was extremely important to him, and the other was entrusted to him by Xiao Yan. He couldn't afford to let anything happen to them. As long as these two were safe, he had no other concerns.
"Die!"
Just as Bai Hua was distracted, the two Origin Transformation Realm pressed forward again, striking Bai Hua's head hard from both sides with their palms. The force of their palm strikes was so fierce that there was no chance of dodging.
"Hmph, since you all want me dead so badly, then even if I die, I'll take you all with me!"
Coming to his senses, Bai Hua let out a cold shout and, without hesitation, took both palm strikes head-on. He immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood. As he looked up, Mu Han's figure appeared again. However, this time, Bai Hua did not dodge Mu Han's attack at all. He met it head-on and struck backhand hard at Mu Han's chest, clearly ready to exchange his life for Mu Han's.
Upon realizing the other party's intention, Mu Han's expression changed slightly. The formation that was originally meant to strike Bai Hua's head was forced to change direction, and his palm collided with Bai Hua's attack once again.
Immediately afterward, the two experts at the Origin Transformation Realm charged forward again. As Bai Hua was forced back, they each struck him hard in the chest with a palm strike. Instantly, mouthfuls of blood gushed out uncontrollably, and Bai Hua's face turned deathly pale in an instant. His body crashed heavily into the city below. Even so, he showed no fear, laughing loudly with his mouth full of blood, his face contorted in a ferocious expression.
"Hahaha, a bunch of trash, is that all you've got? Come at me again if you dare!"
Bai Hua laughed as he struggled to his feet from the ruins. At that moment, the three people in the sky descended in front of Bai Hua, looking down at him.
By this time, the massive array in the sky had long since dissipated, but Qingyang City had been reduced to ruins. Most of the Liu Clan members were dead or wounded, and even the clan leader and the eldest elder were seriously injured. As for the rest, they had all lost their fighting ability. Seeing Bai Hua fall, the Liu Clan of Qingyang City was truly finished.
"While it would be better to deal with someone like you sooner rather than later, the Palace Master has already instructed that you be taken alive before we set off. Therefore, we have no choice but to trouble you to come with us."
Mu Han chuckled lightly, and at the same time, the array in his palm condensed once more.
"Hmph, you want to live? Hahaha, I'll make sure you don't!"
With a sinister laugh, the remaining power within Bai Hua's body suddenly surged violently. His pale face turned crimson in an instant, and a powerful force was rapidly coursing through his body, making him appear as if he was about to self-destruct.
"Trying to self-destruct, huh...?"
A faint, cold laugh rang out, and just as Mu Han was about to make a move, a hurried shout rang out, and a pretty figure immediately entered Mu Han and the others' sight, throwing herself into Bai Hua's arms.
"No! Don't die! I don't want you to die! We still need to wait for Xiao Yan to come back. He hasn't returned yet, you absolutely cannot get hurt!"
Upon hearing that familiar cry, Bai Hua's heart skipped a beat. The owner of that voice was none other than Murong Qianqian. He had originally asked Murong Qianqian to take Lian'er away, but he hadn't expected her to run back now. Wasn't this like a lamb being led to the slaughter?
"Hehehe, I didn't expect another one to show up. Looks like you two had a pretty close relationship. This makes things much simpler."
Upon seeing this scene, Mu Han's face immediately turned sinister. He gave a wink to the two people beside him, who nodded and rushed forward, ignoring Bai Hua's struggles, to forcibly grab Murong Qianqian and control her.
Facing two experts at the Origin Transformation Realm level, Murong Qianqian naturally had no chance to break free. Bai Hua was also cursing with deep hatred, but the other party ignored him and remained unmoved no matter how angry he roared.
"Hmph, it seems you're quite fond of this girl. That makes you even more reluctant to let her suffer any harm, doesn't it?"
Mu Han spoke with a mocking smile. Seeing the angry expression on Bai Hua's face, he felt extremely pleased. When Bai Hua struggled to rush forward, Mu Han slapped him away, and bright red blood spurted out again. Murong Qianqian couldn't help but cry out loud, but everything seemed so powerless.
"Hehehe, you want to save her? In your current state, you probably don't even have the strength to stand up, let alone save her!"
"If you want her to live, you'd better come with me obediently, otherwise..."
A strange laugh rang out, and Mu Han's gloomy eyes fell on Murong Qianqian. He extended a finger as thin as a bamboo joint, and the sharp tip of the finger gently traced across the latter's smooth, pretty face. Bai Hua could not bear it any longer, and a look of panic immediately appeared on her face. While screaming, she hurriedly agreed to Mu Han's request without hesitation.
"Hehehe, if you had agreed earlier, none of this would have happened."
Mu Han sneered as he gently stroked Murong Qianqian's delicate head, his Elder Zhang contorted with malice.
"Whoosh!"
However, in the very next instant, a sharp, piercing sound of wind breaking rang out, and Murong Qianqian, who was under the control of the two Origin Transformation Realm experts, suddenly disappeared. At the same time, Mu Han suddenly let out an extremely miserable scream.
Because, along with Murong Qianqian, his outstretched left arm also disappeared!
