Chapter 303: Chapter 274: Soul Extinguishing Needle_2

Blade Edge pondered, “It’s very likely that the ancestral Hidden Spirit Array of Hidden Spirit Village was set up not by this old fellow, but by someone else, and thus the reinforcements are probably the ones who set up the Hidden Spirit Array.”

To set up a second-tier Divine Array, it could very well be the work of a True God Realm expert!

But Blade questioned, could Hidden Spirit Village know a True God?

Regardless, this was not a gamble they could afford to take.

“Leave some scouts behind, let’s withdraw first!” Blade commanded and swiftly returned to the back of the Giant Beast.

No matter how Yin Qingshan cursed, the people of Move Cloud Mountain Stronghold just glared in fury, with no intention of staying behind, and quickly turned to leave.

Yin Qingshan was getting anxious, completely unaware if Li Cheng had finished setting up the formation. If the group ran into them before it was ready, then it would all be in vain.

But Move Cloud Mountain Stronghold had already seen through his stalling, not pausing at all.

Grinding his teeth, Yin Qingshan withdrew the formation, and immediately, the whole Hidden Spirit Village was revealed.

“I’ve withdrawn the formation, Blade, come at me!”

Yin Qingshan shouted.

Blade and the others looked back but still didn’t stop, quickly moving further away.

“Big brother, it seems we were right, and that Array Master has already arrived!” Blade Edge let out a sigh of relief in relief.

Blade nodded, “It doesn’t matter, I will definitely break through within ten days, and by then, no formation will be able to protect Hidden Spirit Village!”

Miles away, Li Cheng, who was on his way back, saw with his Divine Sense that the people from Move Cloud Mountain Stronghold were heading back and quickly detoured to avoid detection.

Soon after, Li Cheng returned to Hidden Spirit Village and, seeing that the village was unharmed, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Brother Li, you’re back so soon?” Yin Qingshan and the others greeted him excitedly, not doubting that Li Cheng had already finished setting up the formation.

Li Cheng nodded slightly, took out a broken sword, replaced the Nine Swords in the array, and then said, “The people from Move Cloud Mountain Stronghold are heading back, and it won’t take long for them to reach their base. The opportunity has come!”

“Brother Li, I’ll go with you, it’s better to have someone to watch your back.” Yin Qingshan, knowing Li Cheng was about to make a move, quickly spoke.

“I can go alone, just stay inside the formation and wait for my good news.”

Without waiting for a response, Li Cheng had already taken off.

At Move Cloud Mountain Stronghold, out of the four hundred and twenty­seven who went to Hidden Spirit Village, four hundred twenty returned. The remaining seven were stationed near Hidden Spirit Village to covertly survey the area.

Li Cheng naturally discovered the seven people lurking within dozens of miles around Hidden Spirit Village, but he didn’t startle them; at that moment, he also arrived close to Move Cloud Mountain Stronghold.

Taking a deep breath, Li Cheng was about to take out the Nine Divine Swords and activate the array when suddenly, a fierce Divine Power Fluctuation appeared in the sky.

Li Cheng looked up to see a white beam of light descending from the sky, slamming straight towards Move Cloud Mountain Stronghold!

The beam was like a pillar supporting the sky, and before it even arrived, a large number of buildings within Move Cloud Mountain Stronghold were already collapsing under its pressure!

But the next moment, a golden light barrier suddenly erupted, encompassing Move Cloud Mountain Stronghold completely, trembling violently under the bombardment of the light beam, yet stubbornly withstood the assault!

“Who is it? Who has the audacity to attack my Move Cloud Mountain Stronghold?” Blade Edge, the Second Master, flew above Move Cloud Mountain Stronghold, bellowing through the formation.

In the sky, a woman in white descended slowly, her peach-blossom eyes cold as frost, looking down at Blade Edge and the swiftly gathering bandits inside the formation, “Release the one hundred and twenty girls below, and I might consider leaving you with complete corpses.”

The voice was pleasant to the ear, and the tone was very calm, but everyone could feel the icy chill beneath its serenity.

Blade Edge’s face darkened, “Seeking death!”

With a wave of his hand, a sword light suddenly condensed on the golden light barrier, slashing viciously at the woman in white.

The woman in white easily dodged, “So, no talk then? Very well, then be prepared for your bodies to be shattered into pieces!”

Before the words even finished, the woman’s slender fingers flicked, and a Divine Needle as thin as a cow’s hair flew out, went straight through the formation, and pierced Blade Edge’s brow!

Blade Edge, at the peak of the Heaven God State, had no chance to dodge under that Divine Needle!

The next second, Blade Edge’s body fell from the sky, landing heavily on the ground, shocking the bandits of Move Cloud Mountain Stronghold, their faces turning pale.

Even with the protection of the formation, the Second Master had been hit?

How could this be possible?

Whoosh!

The Divine Child of the Blade Edge flew out and shouted angrily, “Big brother, the Soul Extinguishing Needle!”

Blade burst from the ground and caught the Divine Child of Edge in his sleeve, glaring furiously at the white-robed woman outside the Formation.

The Soul Extinguishing Needle was a single-use Divine Artifact, classified as a concealed weapon. Low-level Formations couldn’t block it, and moreover, this kind of Divine Artifact specialized in destroying Divine Souls!

If the Formation hadn’t worn away some of the Soul Extinguishing Needle’s power, Blade Edge would have had no chance at even leaving behind a Remnant Soul.

Even so, Blade Edge only had a sliver of his Remnant Soul merged with the Divine Child, and even if he recovered his physical body, he couldn’t hope to make any further progress.

“So, it was you controlling the Formation, what a waste of a Soul Extinguishing Needle.”

The white-robed woman felt somewhat regretful. She had assumed it was Blade Edge controlling the Formation, which was why she directly used the

Soul Extinguishing Needle. If Blade Edge died, with the Formation left uncontrolled, it would be easy to break.

Blade’s expression was sullen as he casually withdrew the Formation, “A peak Heaven God State daring to trouble my Move Cloud Mountain Stronghold? Then you shall stay and be my Wife!”

The white-robed woman’s pure and lovely face suddenly turned frosty, her slender figure casting a trail of afterimages. In the blink of an eye, she was in front of Blade, thrusting a sword at his throat.

Just as it seemed she would strike him, Blade’s figure dissipated, revealing only an afterimage!

Meanwhile, Blade’s true form had already reached behind the white-robed woman. Raising his hand, he activated the Formation again, “Let you see what it means to have no road to heaven and no door to earth. Wife, you’re set!”

Li Cheng, watching from afar, shook his head slightly. He had thought she was a formidable expert, yet she was provoked so easily. Now trapped in the Formation, the woman was probably in trouble.

But just as Blade activated the Formation, the white-robed woman turned and released a Jade Talisman, which shattered and transformed into a cage that enveloped Blade.

Immediately after, she stomped on the ground, opening up a prison in the earth, and jumped down into it.

Oh? Li Cheng was somewhat surprised. It turned out that all of this was within her control. This move was to rescue the captive girls first, and after rescuing them, there would be no need to worry about accidentally harming them, and she could fight freely.

“Stop her!” Blade, trapped in the cage, shouted furiously while he pulled out the Divine Artifact Great Blade and struck the cage with all his might.

Without his command, a host of Heaven God State powerhouses had already moved, jumping into the fissure in the ground.

However, in the blink of an eye, these Heaven Gods were all repelled.

“There’s a Formation! How could a Formation be set up in such a short time?”

“It’s the Array Plate!”

The Formation, inscribed on the Array Plate, could be activated with just a thought.

In no time, the white-robed woman flew out from the fissure, her pure and lovely face now even colder because the one hundred and twenty women she had rescued were naked, covered in bruises, especially in their private areas, evidently having suffered unimaginable humiliation.

“All of you, deserve to die!” The white-robed woman’s teeth clenched, and more than a dozen Divine Swords appeared around her. The Divine Swords shot out abruptly, and screams of pain echoed immediately.

Such a rich, beautiful woman!

So many Divine Artifacts!

Seeing this, Blade lifted the Great Blade above his head and struck down ferociously. The blade’s radiance wreaked havoc, breaking open the cage, but the wild blade light also shredded many of the Move Cloud Mountain Stronghold’s men.

At this moment, Blade somewhat regretted activating the Formation. If he hadn’t, his men could have fled immediately.

But things had come to this point, and it was impossible to withdraw the Formation. It was necessary to suppress the woman with the Formation to prevent her from escaping.

“Big brother, go all out. This woman has a body full of Divine Artifacts; if we kill her, we’ll strike it rich,” Edge whispered.

Blade didn’t need Edge to say it; he was already planning that. What did it matter if his men lived or died?

As long as they got the woman’s Divine Artifacts, why worry about not being able to recruit more men? And by then, the strength of Move Cloud Mountain Stronghold would be even stronger!

Blade moved fast as lightning, aiming a strike at the woman’s back, but instantly, seven Divine Swords defended against him, blocking Blade, while the other swords continued to chase down the bandits everywhere.

“All Heaven Gods, entangle her Divine Swords!” Blade shouted furiously.

There were a total of thirteen Divine Swords, but at that moment, Move Cloud Mountain Stronghold’s Heaven Gods numbered twenty. They just needed to tie up the Divine Swords, even if only for a few breaths, and Blade was confident he could defeat the white-robed woman.

The twenty Heaven God underlings had already been entwined in small groups fighting the Divine Swords. Hearing the command, they had to split up, one or two to a sword, trying their best to entangle them.

A flicker of amusement passed through Blade’s eyes. He lifted the Divine Artifact Great Blade, and numerous blade lights appeared on the golden light shield. Guided by the Great Blade, they shot out violently, causing indiscriminate devastation within the Formation!
