A Bizarre Formation, the Guqin's Control

At this moment, within his sea of consciousness, the enormous zither was spinning wildly, and streams of pure soul power emerged from his sea of consciousness, surging madly into the massive formation.

The enormous zither was absorbing the pure soul power from him, constantly becoming more condensed, larger, and more terrifying, faintly emitting powerful aura fluctuations.

"Oh no, my soul has been absorbed by this formation."

A look of terror appeared in Lü Dongbin's eyes.

He felt his soul constantly diminishing and his physical strength rapidly draining away. It was all because of the guzheng. If the guzheng hadn't absorbed his pure soul power, his body wouldn't have deteriorated to this state.

He had always stood proudly among the younger generation of Heavenly Martial City as an unparalleled genius, and had never appeared in such a disheveled state before. Now, however, he was in a terrible state, severely injured, and unable to even move.

He exuded a strong sense of resentment and malice, as if he wished he could tear this formation to pieces.

"I'm not reconciled! How could I possibly be defeated by a mere formation?"

Enraged, Lü Dongbin roared to the sky, unleashing boundless power as he slashed his sword fiercely at the man in black. Powerful Sword Qi, like bolts of lightning, swept towards him.

"Not bad, not bad at all. To be able to unleash such a fierce attack, it seems this kid really has some skill." A look of surprise appeared in the black-clad man's eyes, and he retreated rapidly.

Although this move was powerful, it was nothing to mention for the man in black.

The man in black held the gourd and shook it gently forward. Endless black smoke flew out of the gourd and sprayed into the void.

The moment these black wisps of smoke touched the vicinity of the zither, they were shattered by the terrifying power emanating from it and dissipated into the void.

The man in black's face turned extremely ugly.

He hadn't expected that this person could withstand the black smoke he unleashed. Just who was this person? Could it be that this formation could actually resist the black smoke?

The black smoke contained an incredibly dense Sha Qi malevolent energy, which was highly poisonous. If an ordinary person were to come into contact with even a tiny bit of Sha Qi, they would likely be poisoned and die.

However, the man in black in front of them showed no fear whatsoever.

"Haha, let's see where you run now! You bunch of people are simply courting death, daring to cause trouble near the Blood Bat Sect's mountain gate. You're just asking for it. I'm going to turn you into puppets, so you can never escape and will only obey my commands."

The man in black burst into wild laughter, a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes.

"Who is it? Who on earth is behind this?!"

A cold glint flashed in Lü Dongbin's eyes as he stared coldly at the man in black.

"So it's just a greenhorn, a brat. How dare you cause trouble on our Blood Bat Sect's territory? Let me tell you, if you know what's good for you, kneel down and kowtow three times, then obediently hand over all your treasures and get lost. Otherwise, I'll let you taste the poison of our Blood Bat Sect, making you live in eternal agony, wishing you were dead, unable to live, unable to die..." The man in black sneered, his tone extremely sinister.

"Bah! How dare you despicable and shameless scoundrels insult me, Lü Lü Dongbin! If you want to fight, then fight! Even if I die in battle, I will not let you succeed. I will tear you apart before I die!" Lü Dongbin said coldly.

"Court death!"

Upon hearing this, the man in black became enraged. With a swift movement, he transformed into a jet-black Jiaolong and pounced towards Lü Dongbin. His black spear trembled, instantly transforming into a sky full of black spear shadows, frantically stabbing at Lü Dongbin. Each attack was incredibly brutal, filled with intense murderous intent, as if he wanted to annihilate Lü Dongbin.

The black shadows of guns, incredibly dense, descended upon Lü Dongbin, seemingly threatening to completely engulf him.

"Kill!"

Lü Dongbin roared, and a terrifying power burst forth from his body. He formed hand seals, stomped his feet on the ground, and instantly transformed into a streak of light, rushing forward. He unleashed a punch and a palm strike, the palm wind howling out with destructive energy fluctuations, bombarding the black spear lights and blasting them all apart.

With a single punch, Lü Dongbin shattered the attack of the spear shadows. His figure, like a sharp arrow, charged towards the man in black. His fists and palms unleashed countless terrifying attacks, slamming heavily into the man in black. The sounds of bangs echoed continuously as terrifying fist shadows and palm strikes slammed into the man in black, sending him flying.

The man in black's face was ashen. His body flew backward for more than ten meters before landing on the ground, spitting out blood. His face was deathly pale, and blood gushed out of his mouth again.

The men in black quickly surrounded him and moved towards him.

"All of you, get him and capture him," the man in black said in a deep voice.

The remaining four or five men in black swayed and rushed towards Lü Dongbin.

"All of you, get him and capture this brat!"

At the command of the man in black, the other four or five men in black simultaneously brandished their spears and charged towards Lü Dongbin.

Although their individual strength is not particularly great, their combined power is still considerable. These people cooperate very well, and their combined strength is terrifying.

Lü Dongbin was facing six men in black, all of whom were experts at the Golden Core Realm, and his situation became dangerous.

But his face turned extremely ugly, and he was filled with regret. If he had known this would happen, he should have eliminated all of these people to avoid future troubles.

Lü Dongbin was filled with remorse. He wanted to slap himself. How could he have been so stupid? He could have used the man in black's help to eliminate their people, but instead heeded the man's advice and insisted on fighting him head-on. Wasn't that just asking for trouble?

Although this man in black was only at the Peak of the Ninth Layer of Golden Core, he was still stronger than other cultivators at the Ninth Layer of Golden Core. The cultivators under him were all experts at the eighth or ninth level of the Eighth Layer of Golden Core. If he were to fight them head-on, he would have absolutely no chance of winning.
