Chapter 2087: Chapter 2042: Ambushed on the Road
"Alright, Chen Yang, be careful." He Xiran was also tense, tightly holding onto Chen Hao, standing behind Chen Yang and the others.
"Hahaha, Chen Yang, you dare to kill the Ghost Gate Hall’s Elder Wuchang, today will be your death day."
After the smoke dispersed, an extremely eerie voice resonated from around, much like a vengeful spirit demanding a life.
"If you want to fight, come out and speak. What is the point of playing tricks? Are all the members of the Ghost Gate Hall a bunch of useless rubbish?" Knowing there was no peaceful resolution, Ao Min didn’t hold back either.
He opened his mouth with such a greeting.
The person in the black fog got obviously furious upon hearing this.
The eerie laughter abruptly stopped.
"Hmph, utterly ignorant of death, today we will make you wish you were dead." The person in the black fog snorted coldly.
Afterward, they saw people flying out from all directions, surrounding them completely.
There were seven or eight people, dressed in a way like the debt-collecting Wuchang of the Yama Hall, eerie, terrifying.
And each of them wielded various kinds of exceptionally rare weapons.
Iron chain hooks, copper hammers, awls...
Everything seemed extremely bizarre.
"So, they’re not a group of useless beings, but a bunch of ugly things, no wonder they don’t dare to show up," Ao Min continued to mock relentlessly.
"Damn, still daring to mock us? Brothers, enough with the talk, form the formation! Let them taste the power of our Soul Locking Great Formation."
The eight people, instantly enraged, swiftly formed hand seals, and a bizarre black chained formation emerged in an instant.
Trapping Chen Yang, Ao Min, and the others within the formation.
Though these people appeared ugly, their strength was undeniable.
Eight Gathering Spirit late-stage! Cooperating to use the formation, their power was certainly not inferior to a Gathering Spirit peak powerhouse.
Ao Min’s expression changed drastically, heart filled with dread.
He never expected the Ghost Gate Hall to be so ruthless, opening with a deadly strike.
"A group of ugly things, still dare to form a formation? This king will break it today." Ao Min, impatient and unwilling to sit and wait for death, propelled himself into the air.
Then, utilizing a cultivation technique, he frantically attacked the chains formed by the attack.
However, his attack was still too weak, having almost no effect on the formation.
Countless black chains interwove, forming a formation like an iron barrel, firmly trapping Chen Yang and the others inside.
"Hahahaha, with just you, you want to break our Soul Locking Great Formation? Delusional! Prepare to die!" One among them laughed sinisterly and then said to the rest: "Brothers, put more effort, add a bit more fuel to the fire, the King said they must wish they were dead!"
"Hahaha, alright, wishing they were dead."
"This is the consequence of offending our Ghost Gate Hall."
"Burn them! Watch them struggle, hahahaha..."
The jubilant cheers of this group of malicious spirits were incredibly piercing to normal ears.
The laughter of the eight ghosts ceased, the formation suddenly became more stable, and simultaneously, a scarlet and enchanting flame began to burn on the ground.
As if the karmic fire from hell.
As soon as the flame began to burn, everyone immediately felt the heat.
Ao Min and Xiao Hei panicked!
If they couldn’t break through the formation, they would truly be burned alive inside.
What to do?
Seeing his attack having no effect, Ao Min immediately descended, returning to Chen Yang’s side, anxiously asking, "Brother Chen Yang, this formation might still need you. It’s too solid, our attacks are useless."
Chen Yang hadn’t acted earlier because he wanted to see how many people from the Ghost Gate Hall had come!
Whether the Ghost Gate Hall Master had personally arrived.
Seeing only these eight, and no trace of the Ghost Gate Hall Master, Chen Yang felt relieved!
"Then I’ll do it!"
Without hesitation, Chen Yang stepped forward, instantly activating the Demon Suppression Record on his body!
"Brothers, put more effort, Chen Yang is going to act!"
The eight previously giggling malicious spirits immediately turned grievous once they saw Chen Yang preparing to act.
Evidently, they knew Chen Yang’s combat prowess was formidable, which made them take it seriously.
Still, no matter how seriously they took it, in the face of absolute power, it was all in vain!
Demon Suppression Record, added with the Gathering Spirit Seal, a palm struck out.
With a boom, the once impenetrable formation instantly had a large hole blasted through it.
The pitch-black chains in its path were all forcibly broken.
Outside the formation, the eight malicious spirits, upon witnessing this scene, almost had their eyes bulge out.
How, how is this possible?
The Soul Locking Great Formation, so indestructible, couldn’t even withstand a single palm?
While the eight malicious spirits were still in a daze, Chen Yang had already unleashed dozens of palms consecutively.
Bang, bang, bang...
A series of explosions caused the entire formation to disintegrate!
Pfft...
The eight people maintaining the formation suffered intense backlash instantly as the formation collapsed forcibly!
Spitting a mouthful of fresh blood, their bodies were sent flying back.
"Hahaha, alright, Brother Chen Yang, it had to be you." Ao Min looked delighted!
Moments ago, danger seemed imminent, but within an instant, the situation turned around completely!
Ao Min excitedly expressed his admiration to Chen Yang, then immediately lunged from the formation to deal with the eight malicious spirits.
The individual strength of these eight malicious spirits was not strong; in a solo fight, they couldn’t even defeat Ao Min.
Their strength lay in forming a combination, deploying the formation.
But with their formation forcibly smashed by Chen Yang, they had no tricks left!
In just a moment, all eight were taken care of.
Each heavily injured, lying on the ground unable to rise.
At this moment, they no longer had the arrogance they previously displayed, now only battered and terrified, especially when they looked at Chen Yang... deeply fearful...
"How... how can you be so strong? Even Elder Wuchang couldn’t break our formation," one malicious spirit said in panic.
"Haha, your Hall Master is truly stupid, thinking that Chen Yang and Elder Wuchang had similar strength, so sending you should solve us?"
"Did he not consider that Brother Chen Yang, after entering the Divine Dragon Pool and obtaining fortune, could greatly elevate his cultivation?"
Ao Min laughed, answering on Chen Yang’s behalf.
Upon hearing Ao Min’s words, boundless despair arose within the eight malicious spirits’ eyes...
"In your next life, behave like a proper person, don’t turn into such hideous ghostly creatures again, it’s truly unsightly," Ao Min continued to mock before, without another word, taking action to finish off the eight malicious spirits!
"Let’s go."
With the malicious spirits dealt with, Chen Yang didn’t linger for a moment, immediately leading Ao Min, Xiao Hei, and He Xiran swiftly toward the direction of Liuhe Village.
Of course, on the return journey, Chen Yang remained very cautious.
Taking numerous detours to confuse perceptions.
Simultaneously, clearing away all traces left behind, just to leave no clues behind.
Originally, getting back to Liuhe Village required only a few hours.
But to be cautious, it extended until nightfall before they reached Liuhe Village.
The village remained lively, the resort operating prosperously.
Standing atop a mountain, overlooking the entire Liuhe Village, it resembled a bustling city’s vibrant street.
Brightly lit, teeming with life.
"Master! I’ll head back now!"
Xiao Hei glanced at the not-so-distant Liuhe Village and spoke to Chen Yang.
Xiao Hei hadn’t transformed, remaining in the form of a flood dragon.
If he went down, he would definitely frighten the villagers.
