Chapter 323: Chapter 292 Trapped_1
“Ahh!”
The Black YuanYing let out a scream as it sank in a stream of energy.
As it directly attacked from inside the Formation, the entire Formation was affected. It erupted violently, full of countless ruptures.
The trapped princes and princesses didn’t know what was happening, but they didn’t hesitate to seize the opportunity to break out of the Formation and escape.
The Seventh Princess also opted to escape. She released several high-tier Talismans, creating a gap which she darted through without hesitation.
Damn it! She’s shameless!
Xu Mu couldn’t help but curse in his heart.
He hadn’t anticipated much, but if the Seventh princess had chosen to help, the Black YuanYing would have been doomed. Even if she chose not to help, taking the hit straight on would have left it severely injured, and Xu Mu was still confident he could kill it.
However, something Xu Mu never imagined happened.
The moment the Seventh princess escaped, she revealed a cold smirk, took out several Talismans and threw them at Xu Mu.
The nine-tier Spirit Splitting Talisman, the nine-tier Ice Explosion Talisman, the nine-tier Golden Sword Talisman, the nine-tier Falling Stone Talisman…
All of them were nine-tier attack Talismans!
“You wretch!”
Xu Mu was almost choked with rage, he hadn’t expected the Seventh princess to be so brazen. Not only did she not help, but she also ambushed him while he was busy.
His attack hadn’t finished, the spiritual power within him was blocked, and he couldn’t mobilize it in time to defend. All he could do was watch as the attack descended, flooding over him.
“Humph! You dared curse at me, now die here!”
The Seventh princess vanished, leaving only these words behind.
Soon, the brightness of the spells scattered, revealing Xu Mu, covered in wounds, lying on the ground, barely breathing.
“Got betrayed by your own side, you’re so unlucky! Hahaha!”
In similar shape, the Black YuanYing could not help but laugh loudly after seeing Xu Mu’s woeful state.
Originally, it was certain of its death, but it did not expect Xu Mu to be so unfortunate. It had a narrow escape from death.
Against the mockery of the Black YuanYing, Xu Mu laid there in silence, appearing drained of strength.
“What did you do just now? Why were you able to attack my real body through the Formation?” the Black YuanYing coldly interrogated.
Xu Mu remained motionless.
“Don’t think because you remain silent, I won’t know! Once I drain your cultivation and devour your soul, I am certain to find the answer!”
The Black YuanYing was seething with hatred for Xu Mu. Not only had he nearly killed it, he had also sabotaged its plans, causing all its efforts to go down the drain.
The escaped princes and princesses were now attacking the Formation from outside, obviously trying to kill it.
How could it not hate Xu Mu!
Only by torturing him into oblivion can it alleviate the hatred in its heart.
In the next moment, the Black YuanYing vanished into the void and reappeared in front of Xu Mu.
“Die!”
Xu Mu suddenly lunged forward, squeezing The Finger Jue into a Paralysis Skill.
Just before the attack arrived, Xu Mu summoned out the white fox puppet, relying on its thick skin, to block most of the attacks. The reason he hadn’t spoken was to lure the Black YuanYing to come closer.
Right as the spell was about to descend, the Black YuanYing vanished again, and Xu Mu’s face suddenly changed.
“Idiot! You thought I couldn’t see through your act! How dare you not use a protective skill to lure me closer! I’ll show you the consequence of doing so!”
The Black YuanYing sneered as it darted into Xu Mu’s body.
It had used a strategy to counter Xu Mu’s trick. It had utilized a second teleportation when the distance to Xu Mu was reduced. This continuous teleportation inflicted considerable damage on itself, but for the sake of finishing off Xu Mu, it was worth it.
If it could enter Xu Mu’s body, given the disparity in cultivation level, Xu Mu would have no power to resist.
It sped to Xu Mu’s Dantian, intending to swallow his Lifebound Golden Pill, but was met with the sight of a large cauldron emitting a golden mist.
“This is——”
“God Refining Tripod!!!!!”
The Black YuanYing’s expression drastically changed, as it faintly realized that something was amiss.
At that moment, a golden fog spurted out, engulfing it instantly and started to pull it towards the tripod.
“Damn it! This is a trap!!!”
The Black YuanYing finally reacted, immediately trying to escape.
But the golden fog was like a quagmire, causing the Black YuanYing to sink deeper and deeper, until it was completely submerged, then pulled back into the large tripod, afterwards, the tripod’s lid was firmly placed on top.
“Phew!”
Only after sensing that the Black YuanYing had been entirely sealed in the tripod, Xu Mu was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
From the beginning, he intended to trap the opponent inside his body, the previous enticements and ambushes were just to lower the opponent’s guard.
Of course, these were all his speculations and he wasn’t sure if they would necessarily succeed.
If the Black YuanYing’s mode of attack was not to enter his body and devour his cultivation, then he would be the one in deep trouble, possibly having to fight desperately at that point.
The key was that his current physical condition didn’t allow him to do so.
Advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage was already unlikely. If he were to recklessly risk his life and end up with hidden injuries, it would completely crush his hopes.
Thus, Xu Mu decided to take the risky course of action and lure the opponent inside his body.
It was the bodies that had been devoured by the Black YuanYing on the road that gave him this idea.
Luckily, he succeeded!
He managed to seal the enemy with almost no effort.
In the Dantian, he could almost unleash the full power of the God Refining Tripod. Even a mid-stage Nascent Soul might not be able to break free, let alone a severely injured ordinary YuanYing.
“Boy, let me out immediately! Or don’t blame me for being rude!”
The Black YuanYing yelled from within the tripod.
“Rude? I’d like to see how you intend to be rude!”
Xu Mu stood up, his face filled with disdain.
Hearing Xu Mu’s words, the Black YuanYing immediately attacked around him. Unfortunately, under the restriction of the spatial power, not a single ripple was caused.
After sensing that its attacks were ineffective, the Black YuanYing reluctantly stopped.
“Even if you can trap me, so what! Can you trap me forever? With your lifespan, you can’t outlive me. When I escape, I will kill all your relatives! You might as well let me go. We can agree not to interfere with each other’s affairs. I hold a grudge against the Imperial family, not you. That girl from the Imperial family nearly killed you just now. If you let me go, I can team up with you to kill her!” said the Black YuanYing.
“Kill you? Hahaha.”
Xu Mu couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“You overestimate yourself! You’ve forgotten the function of the God Refining Tripod!”
While speaking, Xu Mu gathered his alchemical fire and activated the Refining Array of the God Refining Tripod.
The Black YuanYing immediately felt a burning sensation around him, constantly eroding his Spiritual Power. At this rate, he was going to be refined soon.
“Stop! Stop immediately!”
This time, the Black YuanYing was completely panicked. He hadn’t expected Xu Mu to operate the God Refining Tripod so effortlessly. In his memory, a Heavenly Spirit Treasure like the God Refining Tripod was beyond the control of someone at the Golden Core Stage.
Xu Mu ignored him, continuing to gather his alchemical fire, increasing its intensity.
“Bastard! What do you want me to do to make you stop?”
The tone of Black YuanYing had now taken on a hint of begging.
“Shouldn’t you have said that earlier? Daring to defy me!”
Xu Mu snorted coldly, ceasing his refining action.
Actually, he was just trying to scare the Black YuanYing. To refine a YuanYing with the God Refining Tripod was beyond his current stage of cultivation, and even if he could, he wouldn’t want to.
A live Black YuanYing was worth much more than a few Sin Refining Pills.
” From now on, you answer whatever I ask. If I’m in a good mood, I might even let you out!”
Xu Mu was using a combination of carrot and stick.
