"Speed up and chase!"
"Look at the grass and trees being trampled. They must have escaped not long ago."
Wu Quanguid, with his years of experience, even with his divine sense blocked, immediately used the broken grass on the ground to determine Lin Chen's escape direction.
"Not bad, Supreme Elder is wise!"
Hearing Wu Quanguid's words and seeing the two footprints on the ground, the few people exchanged glances, their eyes filled with admiration.
Yes, why hadn't they thought of using footprints to find people just now?
Soon, the group of four followed the footprints and found the valley where Lin Chen and Zhang Ying were hiding.
"Huh? Supreme Elder, look, the footprints disappear here."
A disciple of the Liehuo Sect spoke up when he saw the disappearing footprints.
"Hmph, that just means they are hiding in this valley!"
Wu Quanguid sneered coldly.
As a strong practitioner at the half-step Nascent Soul realm, even though his divine sense was blocked by the mist, he could still sense a trace of killing intent in the air.
Clearly, those two were hiding here.
And they were still thinking of ambushing him, how ridiculous!
"Set up the formation!"
With a soft shout from Zhang Ying, a transparent light screen emerged from the soil, completely enveloping the entire valley.
Numerous mystical runes flowed across the light screen, making it look incredibly exquisite!
"Ambush!"
Wu Quanguid reacted quickly, drew a high-grade spiritual weapon sword, and was the first to slash towards the light screen.
"Whoosh!"
However, the sword only left a faint white mark on the light screen, which was quickly swallowed by the mystical runes.
"What an exquisite formation!"
Seeing this, Wu Quanguid couldn't help but sigh.
Although that sword strike was not his full power, it was at least seven-tenths, and it didn't even cause any damage to the formation.
He was now a genuine half-step Nascent Soul realm cultivator.
A sword strike with seven-tenths of his strength was something that even a late-stage Core Formation expert would not dare to underestimate.
Yet, it had no effect on this formation?
"Wow, Senior Sister, your formation is amazing!"
Even Lin Chen was full of praise for Zhang Ying's formation.
He could tell that although Wu Quanguid was also a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator, he was clearly not as powerful as his master, who had taken the Nascent Soul Breaking Pill.
But the power of that sword strike was something even he wouldn't dare to block head-on.
And now, it was so quickly dissipated by this formation?
"My Eight Gates Confinement Armor Formation is a formation refined using the Bagua and the Five Elements."
"Although he struck at one point, because the Bagua is constantly rotating, the force of that point is instantly dispersed throughout the entire formation."
"Finally, it uses the principle of mutual generation and restraint of the Five Elements to neutralize the force."
Zhang Ying said proudly.
In terms of cultivation, she was indeed inferior to her junior brother, and to the other women around Lin Chen.
But when it came to the art of formations, she was absolutely not kidding!
Ten years of hard cultivation were spent studying formations.
Let alone Wu Quanguid, even her father would be trapped for at least ten minutes if he entered the Eight Gates Confinement Armor Formation!
"Moreover, when the Bagua and the Five Elements are in operation, they will also unknowingly consume the spiritual energy of the cultivators within the formation."
"So, the longer they stay in the formation, the weaker their spiritual energy will become."
"Until finally, they are trapped forever!"
Zhang Ying explained the purpose of the formation to Lin Chen one by one, which amazed him.
"Senior Sister is indeed Senior Sister. Since that's the case, it's up to me next!"
Learning how powerful the Eight Gates Confinement Armor Formation was, Lin Chen felt a little more at ease.
With such an exquisite formation, he had even more confidence in killing Wu Quanguid!
"Yes, go ahead!"
Zhang Ying nodded, a smile on her face.
For her, being able to help Lin Chen and prove her worth was already a very happy thing.
"Okay."
Lin Chen agreed, then walked out of the hidden bushes and slowly approached the edge of the formation.
"Wu Quanguid, Elder Wu, how have you been!"
Lin Chen walked to the edge of the formation and looked at Wu Quanguid, who was darting around inside.
"It's you?"
Seeing Lin Chen, Wu Quanguid's pupils suddenly constricted.
When Wu Zhixiong had led people to avenge Wu Tie, he had been secretly observing with his divine sense.
At that time, this person had also helped Wu Zhixiong kill the cultivators of the Liu family.
He hadn't expected that such a thing would happen now!
A former helper turning against him could only mean one thing.
Wu Zhixiong had been tricked by this brat back then!
"I understand. It was actually you who killed my grandson!"
"You had a grudge with the Liu family, so you used the Flame Armor and played a trick of 'transferring flowers and grafting trees'!"
Wu Quanguid looked at Lin Chen, his expression filled with killing intent.
If he remembered correctly, this person had appeared with Sun Zhiqian, the head of the Sun family, back then.
This meant that the real killer of his grandson was Sun Zhiqian and this person!
"Hahaha, Elder Wu is indeed intelligent. So, to survive, I can only attack you now!"
"Sword comes, startling swan!"
Lin Chen snorted, and instantly activated the Spiritual Sword Art, attacking Wu Quanguid within the formation.
"Tricks!"
Seeing the flying sword, Wu Quanguid snorted and casually waved his hand, batting it away.
To outsiders, the speed of the spiritual sword was indeed very fast.
But to him, it was nothing special.
After all, the gap in their realms was too vast!
"Dragon Swimming Sword Slash!"
Lin Chen was not discouraged and continued to use the Spiritual Sword Art to wear down the spiritual energy within Wu Quanguid.
"Brat, do you think you can kill me with a flying sword?"
"If you're sensible, hand us over quickly, and I can give you a quick death."
"Otherwise, I will make you wish you were dead!"
Seeing Lin Chen's actions, Wu Quanguid became somewhat enraged.
"Heh, Elder Wu, someone said the same thing to you two hours ago, but what about now?"
"You've seen the fate of those four."
As he spoke, Lin Chen pointed to the three people around Wu Quanguid, his expression filled with a cold sneer.
"You brat, you're courting death! If you have the guts, withdraw the formation and fight me one on one!"
Wu Quanguid was also getting annoyed by the formation.
If it weren't for the formation blocking him, he would have been able to kill Lin Chen with one move!
"Hmph, Fireball!"
Lin Chen wasted no time, took out the Fire Refining Bracelet he had just refined, and sent a fireball charging towards Wu Quanguid.
