Volume 1: Questioning the Past Chapter 10: Spiritual Transformation Array
"It's over, it's over. You're really unreliable! You left me here alone. What if something unexpected happens here?"
Gu Xiaoxing had already started to panic, but luckily he had some experience in hiding, and he disappeared in an instant, and no one knew where he had hidden in a dark corner or gutter.
After a long time, in a sunken place, there was black leaves everywhere. The surroundings were quiet and ordinary. Gu Xiaoxing hid under the thick leaves, leaving only a gap as small as a needle eye. He was feeling uneasy, holding the axe with both hands. The rumbling sound in the distance became more frequent.
"Why haven't you come back yet? Did something unexpected happen?"
As soon as I started thinking, a muffled groan came from the front, as if something flew across and fell heavily to the ground. When I looked closely, it turned out to be a person.
The man was covered in blood and his face could not be seen clearly. One could only vaguely identify him as a man. He lay on the ground motionless, breathing barely a thread, as if his last breath would soon be gone.
The blast from the man's fall to the ground lifted up a few fallen leaves in the distance, but Gu Xiaoxing lay motionless under the layers of leaves, except for the fact that his hands holding the axe were clenched tightly.
"We are ordered to kill the traitors. Do you dare to stop us?"
Raging roars came from afar, and then another figure flew out and landed hastily beside the bloody man. It was Du Siyu who had been away for a long time. At this moment, there was blood at the corner of her mouth, her face was pale, she held the sword in one hand, her eyes were cold, and she suddenly took out a red rope, twisted it between her fingers, opened her red lips slightly, and muttered something quickly.
As Du Siyu kept muttering, the red rope between her fingers quickly softened and melted, condensing into a ball of blood-like liquid that floated between her fingers. The blood squirmed, as if it was about to turn into a small blood-colored bell.
"Not good! She is trying to activate the Golden Bell. Quick! Activate the Spiritual Transformation Array!"
The angry voice was heard again, and the moment it fell, a purple light shot up into the sky and turned into a curtain of light, directly covering an area of ten miles in radius.
Gu Xiaoxing only felt that the soul-eating insect between his eyebrows trembled for a moment, and then became silent, as if the connection between them was suddenly severed. When he tried, he could no longer use any spiritual power, and his mood immediately sank to the bottom.
At this moment, the blood that was about to turn into a small bell on Du Siyu's body turned back into a red rope. She twisted it between her fingers and it returned to calm without any change.
This made her look extremely ugly, and her eyes were frighteningly gloomy. The other party was obviously well prepared and even had this kind of formation to suppress cultivation. There was no hope of asking for help from the sect, so she could only rely on herself!
At this time, several figures strode out from the dark woods. When Gu Xiaoxing looked at them, his eyes widened...
Five men came out. They were dressed in black, with cold faces and murderous gleams in their eyes. They were obviously ruthless characters, especially when they looked at Du Siyu, they revealed an extremely sinister look.
It was this woman who suddenly appeared and saved the traitor!
What made Gu Xiaoxing's eyes widen was that these five people all had a soul-eating insect parasitizing on the center of their eyebrows, just like him.
Looking at the blurry figure lying motionless on the ground, although the face could not be seen clearly, the shape of the soul-eating insect could be vaguely seen between the eyebrows.
what's the situation?
Infighting?
The next moment, Du Siyu gave the answer.
Du Siyu had already put away the red rope and was staring at them coldly. She said in a deep voice, "You are not from my Soul Devouring Sect, so why can you practice the Soul Controlling Technique? Who are you?"
The leader was a tall, strong middle-aged man, holding a hammer bigger than his head. He said sternly, "There is no point in talking any more. You can no longer use your cultivation under the Spiritual Transformation Formation. Today, you can't escape even if you have wings! Kill!"
The middle-aged man waved his hand, and the other four men immediately rushed forward, three of them holding swords and one holding a knife.
"Humph! Aren't you the same? Am I afraid of you when it comes to physical bodies?"
Du Siyu trembled the sword in her hand, snorted coldly, and went forward without fear. However, she was anxious in her heart. Even though both sides could not use their cultivation at this moment and could only compete with their physical bodies, she did not have the slightest confidence when facing four people who were at the seventh level of Qi Condensation and whose physical strength was not much worse than hers. Not to mention that there was also a person at the eighth level of Qi Condensation who was definitely stronger than her and was eyeing them covetously.
She didn't have time to think, and the two sides soon started fighting. Although they had no cultivation, they were still cultivators after all. The power contained in their bodies was unimaginable. A casual blow could cut wood and split rocks. Sparks flew when swords collided, and the sound of the collision was so loud that it hurt people's eardrums.
However, Du Siyu was fighting one against four after all, and was also planning how to escape from here and seek help from the sect. Gradually, he found it difficult to cope with the situation. When he raised his hand to block with a sword, he suddenly felt a chill coming from behind, and a big knife slashed down at an angle. There was no way to avoid it, so he gritted his teeth and actually turned sideways to hit it with his shoulder.
puff!
The big knife slashed across, leaving a big gash on Du Siyu's shoulder , with blood gushing out. However, she endured the pain and kicked the man with the knife. The man flew sideways in an instant, hit a big tree heavily, and spurted blood from his mouth.
This scene frightened Gu Xiaoxing so much that he trembled. He had never seen such a tragic scene before.
"who!?"
The only middle-aged man who survived the fight suddenly yelled, his face gloomy, and smashed the big hammer in his hand out.
Gu Xiaoxing's scalp went numb. The huge hammer that flew towards him was like a death warrant, which frightened him to the extreme. However, the more afraid he was, the more it aroused his desire to survive, and he jumped up like a spring.
With a loud bang, a big hole was smashed out of the place where they had been hiding before.
Gu Xiaoxing fell to the side of a big pit and was filled with fear. If he had not reacted quickly, he might have been smashed into a meat patty.
Seeing Gu Xiaoxing suddenly appear, Du Siyu cried out that something was not good. It was difficult for anyone to escape, let alone take Gu Xiaoxing with him. At the same time, a sense of guilt surged in her heart. When she left the sect, she vowed to protect him, but she never expected to encounter such a situation.
"Humph! There are still some remnants." The middle-aged man waved his hand, "Leave the girl to me, you go and kill that boy. We are going to risk our lives by sneaking into the Soul Devouring Sect. We must not leave any of them alive."
"yes!"
Several people were obedient and gave up their attack on Du Siyu and ran towards Gu Xiaoxing. Even the man with the knife got up from the ground again, glared at Du Siyu fiercely, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked at Gu Xiaoxing with vicious eyes, and pounced on him like a hungry wolf.
Gu Xiaoxing was extremely scared at this moment. He didn't understand why these people, whom he didn't know at all and had never even met before, wanted to fight and kill as soon as they met. Could it be that if there was something wrong, they couldn't just sit down and talk it out?
Why do you have to fight to the death?
However, this is the world of cultivation!
A world far more cruel than you can imagine!
“Run away…!”
Before Gu Xiaoxing could react, Du Siyu had already moved. She suddenly opened her mouth and jumped up, trying to stop the four people.
But suddenly, a heart-wrenching feeling came over her. Du Siyu could no longer care about anything else. She only had time to raise her sword to block. With a "bang", her fist hit the sword blade, and her body was like being hit by a mountain. She flew directly and broke several large black trees in a row.
The middle-aged man shook his fist and said in a calm voice towards Du Siyu: "Since you dare to activate the Spiritual Transformation Array without any worries, do you think I have nothing to rely on?"
Du Siyu struggled to get up, blood constantly oozing out of her mouth. When she looked at the middle-aged man, her eyes were extremely gloomy.
"Physical training!"
The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows. He was at the seventh level of Qi Condensation. He thought that the punch just now would be enough to kill him, but he didn't expect that the other party could stand up so quickly!
Du Siyu's face was solemn and he couldn't help coughing up blood again. Gu Xiaoxing had already escaped and only four figures were walking away in one direction. He looked at the middle-aged man who was grinning at him and sighed. He could only get through this disaster first.
She is ready to fight to the death...
