CHAPTER 167: Breaking the Formation
“Fire Serpent Technique,” “Palm Thunder,” “Ice Needle Technique”
Various low-level spells of different attributes struck the mist, but their effects were weak, completely unable to stop the spread of the pink fog.
The fog spread rapidly, and in just five or six breaths, it was approaching the Black Water Extreme Wind Formation, and it looked like the two would soon make contact.
“Zizi zizi”
As the mist made contact with the dark boundary formed by the formation, it reacted violently, like boiling oil pouring over raw meat.
Puffs of black smoke rose between the two, and as the area of contact increased, the reaction became stronger and more evident.
“Zizi zizi”
The spiritual energy of the Black Water Extreme Wind Formation was quickly consumed. Although the boundary was not broken, the spiritual light on its surface was slowly weakening and dimming.
This was the reason for the insufficient spiritual power within the formation. Although the Black Water Extreme Wind Formation was directly set on the spiritual vein in the spiritual herb garden, where spiritual energy was abundant, there was a limit to how quickly the formation could absorb spiritual energy.
Faced with the attacks from numerous foundation establishment cultivators and qi refinement cultivators on the enemy side, along with the violent assault of the pink mist, the speed at which the formation absorbed spiritual energy was gradually failing to keep pace with the rate of energy consumption.
Especially the pink mist, which seemed to be very effective against boundary-type formations, could significantly deplete the spiritual power within the formation. It was unclear whether this was a magical artifact prepared specifically by the Heavenly Harmony Sect for this operation.
If this situation continued, once the boundary of the Black Water Extreme Wind Formation dimmed to a certain extent, it would provide the enemy cultivators with an opportunity to break the formation!
“It can’t be held any longer!”
Liu Yu was “struggling” to fend off the attacks from two enemy cultivators while also keeping an eye on the situation on the field, making a judgment in his heart.
When the formation was breached, the barriers beneath the ground would dissipate, allowing for the use of various escape techniques to pass through.
Liu Yu quietly adjusted his position, moving closer to the passage leading to the spiritual herb garden, all while completing this silently and unnoticed by anyone.
Under such a fierce onslaught, Cao Mengyu faced even greater pressure, casting spell techniques to control the formation disk, attempting to reverse the formation's declining state.
However, in the face of such a vast disparity in strength, all efforts were in vain, and the situation continued to worsen, seemingly sliding down into an abyss.
Faced with such circumstances and the life-and-death crisis, even Cao Mengyu, as a foundation establishment cultivator, could not help but show a hint of panic on her face, her eyes filled with anxiety.
Her brows furrowed tightly, sweat soaked her clothes, clinging to her skin and revealing her beautiful figure, with her curves standing out prominently.
Unfortunately, in such a situation, no one was there to appreciate this beautiful sight.
On the other side, Yan Hongyu was being blocked by two similarly ranked cultivators. Although she wanted to stop them, she was utterly powerless, only able to watch helplessly as the pink mist continued to deplete the formation's spiritual power.
Li BĂątĂłng was also dealing with attacks from two equally ranked cultivators, but compared to Yan Hongyu, he had a much easier time, occasionally able to free a hand to use a magical artifact or spell to disperse some of the pink mist, but soon an endless supply of fog would come back, rendering his efforts extremely limited.
The two late-stage foundation establishment cultivators were at a loss, while other foundation establishment cultivators were even more helpless.
