Setting a Trap
As the array flags descended, three arrays—one visible and two concealed—were formed. The visible array was located only in the center of Xiaoxiao Island, while the two concealed arrays were each larger than the last, with the most hidden one even covering the entire island.
Fenghuo raised his hand and placed the Storage Bag he had obtained earlier into the central array, along with the two foul-smelling boxes.
"That temptation isn't enough," Shen Ge said, shaking his head.
"It's a bit insufficient." Fenghuo conjured some vines, transformed them into the shape of the top-grade Law Treasure he had previously confiscated, and added some minor Law Technique to simulate its aura. After finishing, he threw it into the formation and used magic to fix it to the ground. "Using a top-grade magic Law Treasure as bait, I don't believe they won't take the bait."
"Let's go, let's hide."
After the two hid in a slightly distant spot, they waited for less than fifty breaths before the others leisurely arrived, seemingly in no hurry at all.
As expected, the people stopped above the island.
Elder Li frowned as he looked at the Storage Bag and the top-grade Law Treasure below, then sneered, "These two bastards are really delusional."
"Elders, join me in attacking! Let's sink this island!"
Seven or eight attacks landed, shattering the small island into pieces. Even two of the array formations on it were destroyed. Fortunately, they all deliberately avoided the area containing the Storage Bag, so the bag did not move.
"Two formations, one visible and one hidden, quite a lot." Elder Li sneered, preparing to go down and collect the top-grade Law Treasure, but suddenly stopped. He turned to the five elders at the Early Golden Core Stage beside him and said.
"The five of you go and retrieve Elder Wang's belongings. They dared to use a top-grade Law Treasure as bait, so they must have been planning to attack. But now that not only is the formation broken, but the entire island has been ravaged like this, there shouldn't be any real danger. However, just to be on the safe side, the five of you should go together for mutual support."
After the five of them went down, Elder Li immediately looked around warily, fearing that the other side might suddenly launch a surprise attack or appear out of nowhere.
After waiting for a while, nothing happened. Just as the five people cautiously walked to the center, suddenly, a formation hidden in the void took shape and enveloped the entire island.
At the same time, the Storage Bag exploded, shattering the two boxes inside, and a black gas suddenly enveloped the five people.
"What the hell is this smell! Ugh!"
"Vomit..."
After several sounds of vomiting rang out, the group quickly shut down their senses, which made them feel a little better.
The sudden formation of the array made Elder Li outside jolt. He glanced around, and after confirming that no one was there, he hurriedly called out, "Save them!"
Countless attacks struck the formation, and even with the coordinated efforts of those inside, they couldn't destroy it; they only managed to make it sway slightly, demonstrating the formation's extraordinary nature.
On a small island not far from here, Fenghuo stared at the group and asked, "Four people, are you confident?"
Shen Ge shook his head without hesitation and said, "I'm not confident. It's impossible to kill them in a short time. Besides, they already know some of our methods, so they'll definitely be on guard. That makes it even more impossible to kill them."
Shen Ge didn't want to take any risks, after all, this place wasn't far from Kaiyang Island, and if they got bogged down, they might be blocked by the Kaiyang Sect.
Although Kaiyang did not participate in the pursuit, they were capable of selling customer information for profit, and they were also capable of taking action against them for profit.
Those people dared to pursue even after a Golden Core Peak died; they might have already made arrangements. There's no guarantee that some powerful figures are on their way here.
But Fenghuo disagreed, even arrogantly saying, "Believe it or not, if we rush out now, we think we can scare those four people away!"
Before Shen Ge could answer, he dashed straight toward the four dead men.
What could Shen Ge do in this situation? He could only charge after them; he couldn't just abandon his senior uncle and run away, could he?
Seeing the two men approaching menacingly, and especially noticing the rope in their hands, Elder Li's expression changed drastically.
"Imprisonment!"
This voice became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Elder Li immediately abandoned his three fellow disciples and ran away.
The attack from Shen Ge and his companion had dealt him a significant psychological blow. A Golden Core Peak and himself, a Late Golden Core Stage Golden Core Peak, had been killed in less than twenty breaths.
He was afraid, afraid that he would be easily killed by that strange combination of attacks.
The other three were stunned to see Elder Li run away without hesitation. They had all prepared for battle, and one of them had even taken a few steps forward to meet him, but the strongest one had run away.
What a damn useless teammate! When we get back, we must report this to the sect and make him suffer the sect's punishments!
However, now that the strongest among them had fled, the three of them glanced at the five fellow cultivators trapped in the formation below, gave them a helpless expression, and then ran off as well, showing no concern for the lives of their fellow disciples.
A Sword Qi swept past where they had just stood. Shen Ge stopped and looked at the stream of light that had been reduced to several small dots, and his lips twitched involuntarily.
"Uncle-Master, tell me, can a sect like Tianquan Sect still be considered a sect? How come all the disciples in the sect are so selfish and self-serving?" Shen Ge asked.
"Never mind that, let's deal with those guys down there first. Time is short, let's hurry."
With Fenghuo wave of his hand, Feng Huo caused the formation below to contract rapidly, soon Imprisonment the five people to a space only about ten meters wide.
Shen Ge Morning Longing his sword, and a black and white sword light slashed down. Then, his aura changed, and his whole body surged with Sword Qi. With the help of the Sword Yi behind him, countless sword lights fell like raindrops.
Then, five giant flying swords descended and surrounded those people. The five swords shot out a dense array of flying swords, which was the Divine Sword Divine Ability's Five Sword Nests of Divine Sword Peak.
Fenghuo, standing to the side, didn't make a move. His reason was that Shen Ge's attacks were too dense, and if he joined in, the power of Shen Ge's attacks might be halved, which was not advisable.
Once Shen Ge's three attacks dissipated, the mid-grade defensive Law Treasure that the five people below had been supporting also showed signs of cracking. It was quite something that three powerful Sword Dao attacks could damage a mid-grade defensive Law Treasure like this.
Then Fenghuo slowly took a deep breath, raised his finger and pointed, a wooden spear the size of a millstone and several dozen feet long smashed down. With a loud bang, the mid-grade defensive Law Treasure could no longer withstand it and was smashed into pieces.
Although they destroyed a piece of loot, there was nothing to regret. After all, with their current materials, they could simply have Shen Ge forge a top-grade defensive Law Treasure without worrying about losing a mid-grade one.
The two then began a relentless bombardment, sparing no spiritual energy, and continued this bombardment for a full quarter of an hour before finally killing everyone inside.
