Chapter 2077: Chapter 2077: Ba Tianque Takes Action, Fang Qiong Observes the Evil Formation
Looking at Huo Xiedao, bound by countless blood-colored chains in the center of the hall.
Everyone frowned.
Too tragic...
Almost no good flesh on his entire body.
His limbs were in a shriveled state, as if all blood and flesh had been drained, leaving only skin wrapped around bones.
And the blood-colored chains binding Huo Xiedao seemed to be breathing, expanding... contracting.
With each expansion and contraction, they absorbed the blood qi and power of his soul from Huo Xiedao’s body.
Huo Xiedao uttered "Run quickly" with what seemed to be his utmost effort.
Ba Xiyue frowned, "Stop talking for now, let us rescue you first."
In such a situation, how could one possibly inquire what exactly happened?
Moreover, looking at the situation, if he wasn’t rescued soon, he’d be sucked dry.
Immediately, Ba Xiyue turned to Yang Shao, Chu Ran, Ye Qiubai, and others, "Please, everyone, lend a hand."
Hong Ying slightly frowned and secretly transmitted, "Something’s not right, be extra cautious."
Ye Qiubai, Ning Chenxin, and Xu Yeming all nodded heavily.
They felt the same way, but saying that now, whether Ba Xiyue believed them or not was another matter.
If Huo Xiedao died, they would also become targets of criticism.
Everyone launched attacks, slashing at the blood chains!
With the sound of iron clashing.
The chains were severed.
Huo Xiedao slipped to the ground.
Ba Xiyue stepped forward and asked, "What exactly happened, for the border to break so easily under your watch..."
But before she could finish speaking.
The situation changed dramatically!
Huo Xiedao, who appeared on the verge of death, suddenly experienced a resurgence!
The blood light filled his entire body!
The severed blood chains floated up, and the blood qi on the chains completely infused into Huo Xiedao’s body!
Boom!
His shriveled limbs, like deflated balloons, instantly expanded!
The muscles intertwined, erupting with endless blood qi!
Huo Xiedao laughed loudly, his blood saber slipped into his hand, slashing towards the approaching Ba Xiyue!
Everyone present was shocked; such close-range attacks left no time to react and rescue Ba Xiyue!
Moreover, Huo Xiedao was a Formless Realm expert, while Ba Xiyue was merely at the Creation Realm.
With this slash, Ba Xiyue would surely die.
But Ba Xiyue’s expression didn’t change at all.
A jade pendant floated out from her chest, emitting brilliant golden light!
Within the golden light, a hand stretched out, directly grasping Huo Xiedao’s blood saber!
Huo Xiedao’s expression changed dramatically.
No matter how much force he exerted to push forward or attempt to withdraw the saber, the illusory hand held it steady!
A sigh echoed.
It was Ba Xiyue.
"Lord Huo, why do this?" Ba Xiyue looked at Huo Xiedao with a regretful expression, "Did you really think this princess had no defenses against you?"
Huo Xiedao knew he couldn’t move the hand in front of him, and decisively tried to abandon the saber, but discovered that the brilliant golden light released a vast emperor’s intent!
Like a mountain falling from the sky, suppressing Huo Xiedao to the ground.
Crunch!
His waist immediately bent down, both knees slammed hard onto the ground, followed by his head, creating deep pits where they landed.
Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
If Ba Xiyue died here, Banan Divine Kingdom would lose face, and its reputation would suffer.
As a country, reputation is linked to the nation’s luck.
At that point, not only would national fortune sharply decline, but it would also affect Ba Tianque’s emperor’s intent cultivation, all of which are fatal.
The most severe... could lead to being removed from the name of the Six Great Divine Countries.
Huo Xiedao gritted his teeth, blood seeping from his gums, "Ba... Tianque!"
A voice came from the brilliant golden light, "You dare to mention my name?"
As the words fell, that hand pressed downwards.
Boom——!!!
The entire Guardian Mansion seemed to sink downwards.
The immense emperor’s aura pressed Huo Xiedao to the ground!
"How did you discover?!" Huo Xiedao gritted his teeth.
He believed his disguise was perfect.
He even damaged his own essence for this.
Ba Xiyue calmly said, "Yes... but there were many doubts, like your realm which hadn’t loosened for a long time suddenly breaking through to the Formless Realm.
Then, as the City Lord of Banan Border, when surrounding forces were invaded by the Cult, you reacted so slowly, every time just allowing us to fall into traps at the right time."
"Just because of these?" Huo Xiedao found it hard to believe.
After all, the opponent was too strong, being able to cover up traces was very normal.
Ba Xiyue nodded, "Isn’t it enough? As the City Lord, those evil cultivators didn’t directly kill you to affect morale but instead wanted to refine you... not to mention no evil cultivators guarding you."
Upon hearing this, Huo Xiedao seemed relieved, "No wonder the Second Princess was able to seize military power from the Crown Prince..."
At this point, Huo Xiedao lay on the ground and lifted his head, looking at the group of golden brilliance, "Your Majesty, give me a swift death, considering my years of guarding the Banan border."
"Merits do not counteract faults." The voice was cold and the brilliant golden light wove into golden threads, binding Huo Xiedao tightly!
"Xi Yue, after this is over, hang him on the border wall, behead and display him!"
After saying this, the golden light disappeared.
Everyone who heard was astonished.
Ba Tianque truly deserves to be a generation Divine Master, so decisive and ruthless.
But this approach was correct; it not only serves as a warning but also silences the negative voices against the Banan Divine Kingdom externally.
Ba Xiyue nodded.
Huo Xiedao’s pupils shrank, struggling constantly, yelling, "Ba Tianque—!! Even if I have no achievements, I’ve worked hard! You dare treat me like this, aren’t you afraid other generals will feel disheartened?!"
Ba Xiyue calmly said, "Stop shouting, Father has already left, and you shouldn’t think of self-destructing, you should be able to feel your soul and cultivation have been sealed, right."
Upon hearing this, Huo Xiedao’s face turned pale.
"Tell me, how to break this formation, where is the core?" Ba Xiyue half-knelt down and faced Huo Xiedao.
Huo Xiedao’s pupils were bloodshot, "Treat me like this, yet you expect me to tell you?"
Ba Xiyue frowned.
At this moment, a voice echoed from beside her.
"Although I don’t know the name of this formation, sacrificing the lives of six sects, linking to the earth’s veins, is very similar to a formation I know."
Huo Xiedao’s expression froze, and everyone suddenly turned to Ye Qiubai.
Just as Ye Qiubai held a jade pendant, a male voice emerged from it.
"According to the formation I know, this has become a ’Living Array’, the eye of the array is indeed atop Zhenyue Mountain, but the core isn’t external, it’s inside the mountain.
There’s a natural cave there, transformed into an array hub by evil cultivators. To break the formation, one must enter the cave and destroy the hub."
"How to enter?" Hong Ying asked.
"While the array is connected to the earth’s veins, it’s not completely flawless." The speed of the voice quickened from the other side, "By observing the flow of blood energy, I found slight stumbles in the southeast and northwest, likely leaving life openings when arranging the array.
The life openings’ positions change as the array operates, currently... southeast three zhangs, seven feet above ground, northwest five zhangs, nine feet above ground. Entering from these places can avoid most evil aura corrosion, leading directly inside the mountain. But life openings only last three breaths, and each opening requires an interval of a quarter hour."
It’s Fang Qiong!
