And Tempering An Unsullied Body - Chapter 389

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Xi rushed forward without stopping. As he got closer and closer to the core of the formation, he could feel the speed of the formation under his feet increase.

He naturally knew that it was Bo Ye’s doing, but it did not matter. At this moment, he was only a hundred meters away from the core of the formation. Normally, this distance could be reached in the blink of an eye. However, the closer Gu Xi got to the core of the formation, the more his speed decreased.

He had no choice but to raise his vigilance, in case Bo Ye would also launch a surprise attack on him.

The white fog around him was rapidly changing, trying to interfere with Gu Xi’s advancing pace. At the same time, the fog man behind him was getting closer and closer to him. At one point, he was only about ten meters behind Gu Xi.

The fog man’s attacks were very fierce. Even though Gu Xi was fully focused on dodging, there were still times when he could not dodge in time and was hit by the fog man’s attack. Fortunately, his physical body was already strong enough now, and that was why nothing went wrong.

!!

Once he stopped advancing because of the attack, the core of the formation that was right in front of him would instantly pull away from him, causing all his previous efforts to be in vain.

“Your Hall of Flowing Light’s Sect-protection Formation… is really just so-so.” Once again dodging the fog man’s attack, Gu Xi suddenly raised his head and said.

This formation was indeed a little mysterious. It did not have the fancy attacking methods of other formations, but this method was extremely torturous. Once the fog man pestered him, and the trapped person could not find a way to break the formation in time, what awaited him would be the exhaustion of his spiritual power, and then he would be mercilessly killed by the fog man!

This was double torture of the mind and body!

If it were not for Gu Xi having the System by his side, if it were anyone else who was trapped here, they would have long been in despair, let alone break the formation and leave.

“You’re about to die, and you still don’t know how to repent!” Bo Ye quickly responded, his voice filled with anger.

This Sect-protection Grand Formation had been passed down for so many years in The Hall of Flowing Light. It was now being mocked and looked down upon by an unknown junior. If this news were to spread out, it would probably be laughed at to death!

Bo Ye outside the space also changed his hand gestures once again. The expressions of all the elders in the Hall of Flowing Light who were maintaining the operation of the Grand Formation all froze. The spiritual energy in their bodies began to be absorbed by the Grand Formation at a terrifying speed.

At the same time, the white fog in the space also began to undergo a huge change.

The fog man that was originally chasing after Gu Xi suddenly stopped moving. In the next moment, it dispersed into a ball of white fog and fused into the surroundings.

In the next moment, all the white fog in Gu Xi’s field of vision gathered together and transformed into a brand new fog man that was thousands of feet tall!

This fog man was no different from the previous fog man’s appearance. Other than the huge change in his body size, Gu Xi was also keenly aware that the spiritual power in the fog man’s body had also increased exponentially!

If the previous fog man’s strength was barely at the early-stage Saint, then the current fog man’s strength was close to the late-stage Saint!

Although there was only a difference of one realm between the two, the difference between them could be said to be like the difference between heaven and earth. It was as if there was a chasm between them!

[The Fog Spirit Overturning Sun Formation’s core has been detected!]

The System’s cold voice suddenly sounded at this moment.

Gu Xi’s eyes narrowed as rays of light flashed across his eyes.

Right at this moment, Bo Ye’s voice sounded once again. “Although I don’t know how you managed to determine the location of the core of the formation, I can tell you very clearly that the core of the formation that you want to destroy is right in front of you. If you want to break the formation and leave, it will depend on whether you have the ability to do so.”

“Whether I have the ability or not, you will know very soon.” Gu Xi grinned, but his expression did not show the panic that Bo Ye had expected.

He clenched his right hand and a longsword appeared out of thin air. The blade of the sword was suffused with a cold light, and a sharp sword aura was already spreading out uncontrollably.

“Sword Drawing Technique.” Gu Xi took a deep breath and slowly slashed out at the fog man in front of him.

A sharp sword aura burst out in all directions. The sword aura was as powerful as thousands of swords. The sword aura that made one’s heart palpitate whistled through the air. Wherever it passed, the white fog was cut into a long line. Finally, it landed on the fog man’s body.

The sword aura did not miss a single point.

The fog man’s huge body was cut into two halves by the sword. However, instead of fresh blood, milky-white fog gushed out from it.

Even though the attack had hit, it did not solve the problem as expected. The fog man’s body healed in just a few breaths, returning to its original state, there was not even a trace of it being cut open.

Gu Xi frowned as his brain was working rapidly.

In order to destroy the core of the formation, the first thing to be dealt with was the fog man in front of him. However, this fog man was almost indestructible…

For a moment, Gu Xi could not help but feel a little worried.

“Once I destroy the body of the fog man, it will instantly heal. It won’t give me the time to destroy the core of the formation at all.”

Gu Xi put away his long sword. The fog man in front of him had already begun to move. His fists, which were like a small mountain, kept falling down, forcing him to divert his attention to deal with it.

If he were to take a punch, it would not be as simple as being in pain. He might even go straight to hell.

Even with Gu Xi’s current physical body, he did not dare to take a punch head-on!

“Unless… Unless I can shatter this thing in an instant. Even if it will still recover to its current form, the formation core will naturally be exposed in that instant!”

After a long while of brainstorming, Gu Xi’s eyes suddenly lit up.

He alone would not be able to succeed in this plan of his. This was because the moment the fog man was shattered and the formation’s core was exposed, he definitely would not have enough time to launch another effective attack on the formation’s core.

Perhaps this was also the reason why he and Qing Zhu were separated!

If he wanted to destroy the eye of the formation, he would need the help of another force!

Gu Xi’s expression changed, and he transmitted a thought.

In the next moment, he waved his large hand, and the surrounding spiritual energy surged. Two huge and complicated formations appeared above and below the fog man at the same time!

These were two earth-grade spirit arrays. Although they were not comparable to heaven-grade, their power could not be underestimated. It was more than enough to crush the fog man’s bones and scatter his ashes.

“Explode!” Gu Xi’s expression froze as he shouted in a low voice.

The two spirit arrays suddenly accelerated their operation, and the spirit energy contained within them began to expand rapidly. Then, they exploded with a loud bang.

The huge shockwave from the explosion spread out, sending Gu Xi flying backward. The fog man’s body, which was sandwiched in the middle, instantly collapsed inch by inch, revealing the core of the array.
