Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Gu Qingluan’s tone was relaxed, with a hint of indifference. “No problem. Just a few Heavenly Realm experts can’t pose a threat to me.”
The words of Gu Qingluan infuriated the black-clad men.
One of them sneered coldly. “Such an arrogant woman. Today, we’ll show you how formidable we are! Brothers, attack!”
Before the words had even finished echoing, eight shadowy figures darted forward, brandishing radiant lights in their hands, each wielding a precious sword that gleamed like a rainbow.
Their movements were almost identical, and their strengths were comparable. The combined pressure they exerted was even stronger than that of a Ninth-Grade Heavenly Realm expert.
Gu Qingluan was still composed, but Su Lie and Liu Meng felt the terrifying pressure, their eyes filled with astonishment.
Previously, when they arranged themselves in formation, Su Lie and Liu Meng had sensed that the collective strength of the adversaries was not merely additive. However, shielded by the protective barrier, they hadn’t fully felt the intensity of the impact. But now, as they confronted it directly, the chilling force bore down upon them without mercy, crushing their spirits.
…..
Faint purple light shimmered in the depths of Feng Yuanxi’s eyes, while his young and innocent face tensed with seriousness. A subtle mark of flames flickered on his forehead, appearing both elusive and discernible.
“Mother, I’ll protect you!”
A faint smile appeared on Gu Qingluan’s lips as she heard his words. “You’re still young. It’s my duty to protect you for now. In a few years, 1’11 let you protect me.”
Gazing at her confident and exuberant smile, Feng Yuanxi’s eyes revealed an expression of infatuation.
“Mother, you’re so cool!”
Lost in his admiration, Feng Yuanxi was pulled behind by Gu Qingluan.
She conjured a long sword out of thin air and drew a circle around Feng Yuanxi.
The sword’s tip scraped against the ground, emitting a piercing sound and sparking flames.
A formation was activated!
“Stay obediently within the circle and don’t run about!”
He snapped back to his senses and clenched his fist. His dark eyes shone brightly, nervously, and eagerly staring at her. “Mother, you must be careful!”
Gu Qingluan let out a chuckle, swiftly stepped forward, and leaped gracefully into the air. Her white skirt billowed like a blooming white lotus as she spun through the air, her sword sweeping horizontally.
The sword energy surged forth like a vibrant rainbow, spreading in all directions with an irresistible momentum.
The black-clad figures were forced to retreat continuously.
Gu Qingluan withdrew her sword into the void, her delicate hands gracefully dancing in front of her. One after another, talismans shot out from her hands with precision and speed.
The black-clad figures’ eyes gleamed with excitement. “You’re a Talisman Formation Master?”
Talisman Formation Masters were rare in the Cloud Plains Continent, often playing auxiliary roles due to their need for focused concentration and the ability to draw formations. They typically relied on Spirit Stones or other objects infused with spiritual energy.
To be able to draw formations effortlessly, without any external aids, was a mark of at least a Heavenly Stage Talisman Formation Master!
Lower-ranked Talisman Formation Masters possessed limited combat prowess, and it was only at the Heavenly Stage and beyond that they could rival other practitioners of the same level.
It was truly fascinating!
Who would have expected that the young miss of the Gu family, who had disappeared for several years, not only returned with formidable cultivation but also became a Heavenly Stage Talisman Formation Master?
Sadly, her journey came to an end there. She had incurred the wrath of the wrong people, ensuring she wouldn’t live to see the next sunrise!
Gu Qingluan’s hands continued their swift movements as she attacked the enemies with her talismans. “You appear to be observant. It’s evident that all eight of you have trained in a coordinated formation tactic. With eight practitioners ranging from the Seventh to Eighth Heavenly Stage, harnessing formations to unleash power surpassing that of an expert in the Ninth Heavenly Stage, you possess the strength to challenge even a Saint. So, why have you chosen to degrade yourselves by selling your lives?”
The eight individuals evaded the oncoming talismans while closing in on Gu Qingluan’s group. They retorted, “Selling our lives? Heh! We simply took on a well-paying but non-life-threatening assignment”
Gu Qingluan chuckled softly. “That may not have been the case.”
The black-clad individuals were taken aback by her response.
Suddenly, the situation on the battlefield took a drastic turn.
Numerous formations, large and small, appeared in the air, interlocking intricately, leaving no room for escape!
“No, this can’t be!” The black-clad individuals collectively trembled in shock and disbelief..
