The Young Master Storms the City
Chapter 1136: Swallowed by the Formation?

Chapter 1136: Chapter 1136: Swallowed by the Formation?

In his perception, Ning Fan now seemed like a blazing furnace, with all his power pouring out without reservation to counter the backlash of the Formation.

If Ning Fan hadn’t done this, the retaliatory force released by the Formation would have already bombarded all of them.

The strength of Ning Fan’s power was there for all present to witness.

"Kid, if you really can’t hold on, then pull back," the Man in the Black Mist murmured to himself.

He knew that Ning Fan was doing this to shield everyone from this wave of backlash.

After all, judging by the situation before, once this backlash fully erupted, the resulting power was definitely not something the cultivators present could withstand.

Little did they know, Ning Fan was also in a dilemma.

The power he released and the retaliatory force emitted by the Formation were now interwoven together, with no way to separate them.

Even if Ning Fan resolutely decided to withdraw, risking severe injury, it might still not be possible to retreat smoothly.

It was like a tug-of-war between two strongmen; whoever let go first would bear the full brunt of the attack.

The Formation, being an inanimate object, naturally would not have the thought to retreat and would only continue to unleash its strongest power incessantly.

If he were to retreat now, he feared he would immediately suffer severe injuries from the Formation’s power.

"No, I absolutely cannot retreat at this time!"

Ning Fan clenched his teeth and continued to frantically infuse power, attempting to suppress this wave of backlash.

But this only led to a vicious cycle.

The more power pumped in, the more the Formation absorbed.

The more the Formation absorbed, the stronger the backlash.

Ning Fan also had an ominous premonition that if he continued to infuse power into the Formation, the retaliatory force that would eventually come would be beyond even his own ability to bear!

But at the moment, he had no choice but to maintain this stance.

"Hum—"

Feeling the power on the Formation, Ning Fan’s pupils suddenly contracted.

It was coming!

The power he had previously released had been completely absorbed by the Formation, and now, through the underlying Formation, a counterattack was about to erupt.

Ning Fan took a deep breath, his Spiritual Power surging wildly within him, as he focused intently on the Formation.

At the same time, his spiritual power also radiated out, slowly enveloping the entire Formation within it.

The only way to break through now was to find the Formation’s weak point at the instant the retaliatory force burst forth.

Then, using his own strength, he would direct that force of counterattack to it.

To use the Formation’s power to break the Formation!

Only by doing so could he avoid the Formation’s backlash while breaking it and ending the stalemate.

He didn’t believe that the power, which had been amplified several times by the Formation, still couldn’t break through the Formation.

As time passed, that terrifying power finally condensed completely.

"Boom!"

The next moment, the violently unrestrained power burst out of the Formation, like a towering tsunami slamming straight towards Ning Fan.

"Pfft!"

Ning Fan’s face turned pale, and he suddenly spit out fresh blood.

The power of the Formation’s retaliation was too strong, completely beyond his expectations.

The moment he came into contact with the retaliatory force, Ning Fan had already suffered severe injuries.

Even as he frantically ran his Spiritual Power to recover from his injuries, and even though he used Healing Pills, he still couldn’t counteract the destructive force of the backlash.

The intensity of this power had completely surpassed the Foundation Establishment Peak and had even reached the Pseudo-Dan Realm!

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Ning Fan let out a hysterical roar, striving with all his might to repel this force.

Just as he was about to be engulfed by this power, the operation of the entire Formation suddenly faltered slightly.

Before Ning Fan could react, the formidable power surged outward from within and swallowed him up instantly.

At the same time, the surrounding forces also contracted wildly, returning to the Formation.

This scene stunned everyone witnessing it.

The second round of eruption had cleared the surrounding dust, allowing them to see Ning Fan’s condition.

It looked like a situation bound to fail.

Even the Man in the Black Mist had prepared himself—if Ning Fan were to fail, he would risk severe injury from the Formation to save the young man.

As for Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng and Huang Gu, they were more direct; they stirred the Spiritual Power within their bodies and rushed forward, reckless of their own safety, to help.

The four from Miao Si did not run away, not because they were so loyal to Ning Fan, but simply because if Ning Fan died, the Spiritual Power hidden within them would also burst forth.

So, no matter what, they had to ensure Ning Fan survived.

Just as they were preparing to act, they saw the Formation suddenly swallow Ning Fan whole.

Immediately after, the previously scattered rampant power, as if it had never appeared, vanished in the blink of an eye.

Calm was restored around the Formation as if nothing had happened.

"What, what’s going on?"

"The Sect Master was swallowed by the Formation?"

"What kind of joke is this? Can Formations actually eat people?!"

The four from Miao Si were also panic-stricken as they checked their bodies to ensure nothing was amiss, finally breathing a sigh of relief.

The Man in the Black Mist stared straight at the Formation, before speaking slowly after a long while, "No, it seems like the Formation actively let Ning Fan in."

He and Ning Fan had shared the Resentful Spirit Elixir refined by the Resentful Deity, so the Man in the Black Mist’s spiritual power had some connection with Ning Fan.

He concentrated highly, sensing Ning Fan’s presence with his spiritual power, confirming that the other was not seriously injured within the Formation.

Hearing the Man in the Black Mist’s explanation, everyone else breathed a sigh of relief, filled with curiosity.

The Secret Realm here hadn’t been opened for who knows how long, and even the Man in the Black Mist, who had stayed in this Secret Realm for a long time, had no clear idea what was in the Formation.

Why would it have directly let Ning Fan in?

While those outside were confused, Ning Fan was also in a completely bewildered state.
