Chapter 2289 - 2289 2279 Feng Ci

2289: Chapter 2279 Feng Ci 2289: Chapter 2279 Feng Ci If there were no dire need, Long Yan would not casually use his potential; he could only heal slowly by himself.

After resting for a while, everyone continued walking deeper inside.

The sword marks in the gloomy passage had not decreased.

It seems it was not Qian Jiang’s doing, but Qian Jiang clearly knew who was inside.

Thinking about this, Long Yan felt somewhat annoyed that he hadn’t asked Qian Jiang earlier about who exactly was in front of them.

On the other side, among a few people flying towards their Sect, a sharp-faced young man approached Qian Jiang.

Now that Wang Lei had disappeared, Qian Jiang had the highest authority there, and the sharp-faced young man came up to ask him.

“Brother Qian, are we just letting them go?”

Qian Jiang sneered when he heard this.

How could they possibly just let Long Yan off so easily.

“Don’t worry, someone will take care of them for us.”

Saying this, a confident expression appeared on Qian Jiang’s face.

The Sky Clan had stumbled badly this time, but there were still many Loose cultivators at the conference, among them some formidable ones.

One of the people following Long Yan was such an Expert.

This man was so powerful that even Qian Jiang, with all his knowledge, did not know his name, but recalling that cultivator’s terrifying ability which surpassed Long Yan just now, he had used just one move to shatter all the black and white Puppets into pieces.

Long Yan was obviously unaware of the situation on Qian Jiang’s side, but as they ventured deeper into the passage, Long Yan felt increasingly uneasy.

The sword marks on the walls indicated that the person ahead of them was an Expert in sword art.

The hidden intention in the sword marks, even if only left as scars, made Long Yan feel a chill in his scalp.

He had thought about turning back, but fearing that Qian Jiang and his group had not left, Long Yan abandoned that idea and continued forward.

As everyone ventured deeper, the sword marks on the walls grew deeper, and the traps became increasingly difficult as the passage deepened.

Amidst the tense atmosphere, the sound of a skirmish reached everyone’s ears.

Long Yan and the others hurriedly rushed over.

In the distance, a white-robed young man wielding a long sword was entangled with a group of black and white Puppets.

Obviously, the young man was skilled, as numerous Puppets couldn’t leave any marks on him, but his emitted Sword Qi also did not cause much damage to the Puppets before him.

Of course, the white-robed young man also saw the presence of Long Yan and others.

He clenched his teeth in secret but had no choice.

His body, however, vaguely showed signs of escaping the multitude of Puppets.

On one hand, he had to fend off the attacks of the Puppets, and on the other, he had to deal with the black and white Puppets in front of him; undoubtedly, the situation of the white-robed young man was becoming more disadvantageous.

Long Yan did not speak, after all, the hearts of people in the Cultivation World are perilous, and the young man’s actions were indeed a correct choice.

Observing the black and white Puppets, which were arranged in a certain pattern, Long Yan had not studied Wuhou’s Formations and couldn’t see any tricks in this Great Formation.

“Big Brother Yan, this is the Sky Eagle Formation.”

Lingxi, frowning after seeing the pattern of the Puppets, spoke up.

She had returned home before and reviewed many ancient books related to Formations.

Strictly speaking, the Sky Eagle Formation wasn’t really a Formation because the Formations taught by Zhuge Wuhou were all automatically operated; they just needed to set up Formation nods everywhere to activate the Great Formation at any time.

The current Sky Eagle Formation served as a military formation for battling.

It resembled a kind of combined strike technique involving tens of thousands of people.

These black and white Puppets fought against the white-robed young man by relying on the powerful enhancing capabilities of this Formation.

However, it seemed that the white-robed young man did not understand the principles of the Formation and was just blindly attacking with the sword in his hand.

Although sophisticated in swordsmanship, he still struggled to break through the Great Formation.

“Big Brother Yan, should we help him?”

Lingxi glanced at Long Yan, who was now the center of this small team.

Naturally, she needed to consider Long Yan’s opinion, but it seemed that this young man might not be able to hold on for much longer.

“Help him, of course, just tell him from afar how to break the Formation.”

Long Yan’s consideration was rational, as he was the one with the highest Combat Power in their group yet still injured.

If they could win over the young man in front of them, he might become a major combat asset, which was why Long Yan asked Lingxi for help.

“The Hawk Strike Formation is a rather common military tactic among many armies.

One only needs to find the central commander to break this Formation.”

Despite being basic, the Hawk Strike Formation greatly enhances the troops’ strength; however, if someone targets the central commander, the entire Formation will collapse on its own.

That’s why few Generals use this Great Formation in battle – after all, who can guarantee that the central person will be unharmed after a barrage of arrows?

Lingxi shouted loudly, and the white-robed young man fighting the Puppets clearly heard her.

Hesitation flickered in his pupils.

He had been entangled with this group of Puppets for a long time and couldn’t think of any reason why Lingxi and the others would want to harm him, so he leaped into the air.

The young man in the air spotted something unique among the multicolored Puppets below.

If it weren’t for that particular Puppet shifting along with the army, he would have thought it was merely a Sculpture.

A breathtaking Sword Qi streaked from the sword, splitting that special Puppet in half.

The momentum on the surrounding Puppets diminished, as if they had lost their backbone, unable to withstand the young man’s Sword Qi any longer.

A shade of gratitude sparkled in the young man’s eyes.

Without the bolstering of the Hawk Strike Formation, the Puppets were no longer a match for him.

Quickly, he eliminated all the Puppets and flew towards where Long Yan and others were.

Although Feng Ci had been cultivating in the deep mountains, he knew a bit about social interactions and thus came forward to thank them.

When he saw Lingxi and Luo Pin, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

It was inevitable; the two women were too eye-catching, one sensually glamorous, the other delicately charming.

Any man might feel a primal urge towards them.

Of course, Long Yan didn’t mind.

Feng Ci’s gaze was mostly appreciative, but he still felt slightly uncomfortable inside.

“Little Feng Ci here; I appreciate the young ladies’ help.”

In response to Feng Ci’s words, Lingxi seemed indifferent, nodding nonchalantly, a gesture that almost made Feng Ci, who was unaccustomed to the world, drool, and he requested to travel together with the group.

Long Yan casually nodded.

Of course, if it weren’t for Long Yan speaking, Feng Ci would not even have noticed his presence, evidently assuming Long Yan was merely an attendant of the two women.

“May I ask for the young lady’s esteemed name?”

Throughout the journey, Feng Ci showered Lingxi with attentions, which visibly annoyed her.

However, out of consideration for Long Yan, Lingxi did not say much.
