Chapter 1220 - Chapter 1220 Chapter 513 Exposure

Chapter 1220: Chapter 513: Exposure Chapter 1220: Chapter 513: Exposure The Blood River Divine Sword could not be used consecutively; thirty-six Fallen Imperial Magnetic Beads were also destroyed in the void. He was clearly able to kill his opponent in just over ten rounds of direct confrontation, yet he ended up on the run with Tang Luo for a long time.

If he weren’t afraid of exposing his identity, he really wanted to summon the Xuanwu Faziang to block in front, thinking just a little obstruction would be enough to smash the opponent’s head.

But considering the higher-level implications, he could only reluctantly give up and watched as the elusive Martial Ancestor escaped.

Returning to Du Sha’s side, he found that his situation wasn’t much different. Facing a Martial Ancestor determined to flee, without some strong restrictive measures, it was probably very difficult to capture anyone.

Tang Luo finally understood the frustration his father, Tang Sen, felt during the great battles. It was clear these were opponents he could defeat with a few punches, yet he frustratingly couldn’t get close enough, which was indeed infuriating.

Good at introspection and summation, Tang Luo explained to Du Sha while still furious, “I got greedy. We should have focused on attacking one, perhaps then we had a chance to kill another.”

Du Sha just nodded and then waved his hand to disperse the black fog, revealing the unharmed Miss Yun inside.

Tang Luo ran away so quickly that he was out of sight, and when he returned, he was carrying a hostage. The flesh dissolved by the Blood River Divine Sword was also regenerated thanks to the nourishment of the Innate Qi.

As if nothing had happened, he pleasingly held up the unconscious hostage and boasted to Yun Xiu, “Look what I brought back.”

Yun Xiu did not focus her gaze on the captive Tang Luo held; when she was trapped in the black smoke, what she feared most was not having her identity exposed or facing death, but the worry that she might never see Hook Chen again.

She did not know when he had become so important to her, and seeing him again was just right.

Concealing the extent of her injury recovery seemed insignificant compared to their reunion.

“This hostage is now our most important bargaining chip. You hold onto him for now; we need to find a place to rest and then consider our next steps,” she said.

The clever Tang Luo did not intend to exchange tender glances for long and instead thrust the unconscious hostage into Yun Xiu’s hands before quickly leading them to an unoccupied hut.

Despite the continuous battles, Tang Luo himself had no visible injuries; he just needed to concentrate on removing the Blood Fiend’s aura from his body.

On the other hand, Du Sha had suffered not insignificant damage to both his spiritual power and physique, especially the Black Light Mysterious Cauldron, which was now covered in fissures. This damage was clearly due to some magical artifact and needed urgent repair.

But circumstances dictated priorities, and the group was still trapped in the formation, unable to make proper adjustments. All they could do was give Du Sha time to recover his spiritual power.

After completing thirty-six cycles of breath control, once Du Sha’s spiritual power was mostly restored, Tang Luo began to discuss his breakout plan: “Right now, the most important thing is to get out of this formation. I’ve found the Formation Eye, but there’s a peak Fierce Realm expert guarding it, who, judging by his spiritual power traits, should be Xiang Zhuang, the commander of the East Camp.”

“I’ve confronted him just now, and he’s a formidable opponent, very difficult to deal with.”

“That’s not even the hardest part. Inside this grand formation, there’s also the presence of a grandmaster, which must be Xiang Yan’s personal involvement. What I’m curious about, however, is how we were exposed.”

Tang Luo furrowed his brows: “To relocate a grand formation like the Cold Moon Spirit Concealment, it usually takes months. Yet they could pinpoint South City perfectly, which must mean they were very sure. I don’t quite understand; has the Xiang Family’s Wind Media become so powerful?”

“Impossible.” Yun Xiu shook her head, “It definitely wasn’t leaked through our tracks. Our identities and the origin of the manor are genuine and reliable. They definitely didn’t find us using Wind Media’s methods.”

As soon as Yun Xiu had finished speaking, Tang Luo sensed an astonishingly powerful energy gathering above the courtyard, then instinctively flashed next to Yun Xiu and took her into his arms to protect her beneath him.

Not as sensitive to Spiritual Power as Tang Luo, Du Sha still sensed the urgency of the situation from Tang Luo’s reaction and hastily unsealed the Black Light Mysterious Cauldron, inverting it over their heads.

The White Tiger Roar, seven streams of golden white light like soul-snatching heavenly punishment, disintegrated everything in the vicinity of the courtyard.

Representing the most lethal spiritual force among the four sovereigns of the west, the White Tiger possesses a domineering authority over all beings. With the Dharma Aspect of the White Tiger as a spirit, its power within the area even surpassed that of the Buddha by a fraction.

Already covered in cracks, the Black Light Mysterious Cauldron confronted this formidable combined strike head-on, producing crackling sounds of fracturing within moments.

But the Black Light Mysterious Cauldron was after all an ancient demon’s magical artifact. Although crudely made, its matrix was extraordinarily sturdy. The cracked mystical runes on the surface were just decorative coverings added later. Now, under the fierce pounding of the White Tiger, it revealed the array of the cauldron, a vessel forged by heaven and earth, very ancient in appearance.

As all the mystical runes shattered, the Black Light Mysterious Cauldron seemed even more durable, but this was not necessarily a good thing.

The engraved runes on the cauldron were meant to control the array. Now shattered, without the array’s control, the cauldron, merging with the spirit, would begin to devour Du Sha’s Spiritual Power like a black hole, to resist external forces. It wouldn’t take long before it drained Du Sha dry.

Outside the cauldron, unleashing the combined strike were the peak fighters of Fierce Realm they had previously encountered in the sewers, the two Martial Ancestors who had fled not long ago, and most alarmingly, the Yanyun Grandmaster, standing boldly in the sky!

Through the inner wall of Red Crystal in the cauldron, Tang Luo observed Xiang Yan playing with the Immortal Cloud Whisk Soul with full confidence, and suddenly he understood why this secluded house had been exposed.

At the same time, he also sensed Xiang Yan’s determination to end this in one fell swoop.

It seemed, then, that this area was indeed destined to be their final battlefield!

Taking a deep breath, Tang Luo whispered to Yun Xiu, “The situation has reached a critical moment.”

“You’ve seen the forces outside. Our only way out now lies in your hands!”

“Me?” Yun Xiu first startled, then bit her lip tightly, “What should I do?”

“You and the city master switch clothes. Once I attract their attention, you quietly leave. The core of the array is in the sewer on Wu East Street. There are only a few array masters there now. Just pull out the Formation Eye and plug it back into the array core to shut down the array. Once the array is deactivated, I can use the Spirit World Passage to escape with old Du!”

This was the only escape plan Tang Luo could think of for the moment. The only question was whether they could last until Yun Xiu managed to shut down the Cold Moon Spirit Concealment Array.

“I understand.”

Yun Xiu, not being sentimental, briskly switched clothes with a woman prisoner lying unconscious on the ground and retreated to the side.
