Chapter 2213: Chapter 2214: Chen Jie Trapped
"This little girl dares to play tricks, let’s go!"
After a shout of anger, irregular footsteps echoed from afar, and these were none other than Chen Jie and the group from the Azure Dragon Society.
Apart from Chen Jie being clustered in the middle, there were four or five figures surrounding her.
One person was cursing at Chen Jie, spitting as he yelled, making Chen Jie feel disgusted and she turned her head away.
"Still dare to hide!"
That person glared angrily, almost rushing over to hit Chen Jie, as if he saw a heinous villain in front of him.
"Alright, let’s first find that storage ring, then catch Lin Chen and Sun Tianming before dealing with her."
Someone walked at the back of the group, with a lazy demeanor, hands holding his head, looking indifferent. Although he didn’t seem strong, under his command, the burly men nearby remained silent, not daring to protest.
"I hope they can’t find me and just leave..."
Chen Jie prayed in her heart, glancing behind from time to time. When she saw the lazy man, fear appeared on her face.
If not for this man, she would have escaped a long time ago. Chen Jie’s original strength wasn’t low, plus she had a teleportation talisman. She couldn’t fight them, but escaping should not have been a problem.
But since she encountered the man in front of her, everything changed.
The place she was in seemed completely sealed, like a closed-off space, unable to sense outside information. Thus, the usually effective teleportation talisman had become useless, just a piece of paper.
The most terrifying thing was the man’s threat after discovering she had discarded the storage ring.
This forced her to bring them back.
...
"Brother Sun, wait for the chance and we’ll rush out together. As long as we rescue Chen Jie, we’ll leave immediately!"
After those people’s voices entered the cave, Lin Chen quickly made a plan. Their demand wasn’t high, they just aimed to rescue.
"Alright!"
Sun Tianming nodded, then walked to the outside.
Standing with Lin Chen on either side of the cave’s exit, they quietly hid behind. Although there was a formation effect at the cave’s front, Lin Chen didn’t know if the formation could have wonderful effects, so they didn’t dare to be careless.
They only dared to hide behind, doing their best to conceal their presence.
"There it is!"
A voice of joy came from the mouths of those people, as they gazed at the storage ring on the cliff ahead, showing delight.
"Xu Hao, go get it down!" The man still holding his head ordered softly.
"Yes, sir!"
After a respectful address, a thin man stepped out, slightly bowed to the man, then dashed forward!
"Wasted so much of my time. Once I deal with Lin Chen and them, watch how I handle you."
The man grinned, a radiant smile on his face, but it sent a chill down their spines.
Chen Jie recalled the man’s previous methods, and for a moment, fear chilled her all over.
"Who is this person? How come I’ve never seen him before?"
Hidden in the dark, Sun Tianming whispered. The man clearly wasn’t from the Azure Dragon Society. If he was, and strong too, Sun Tianming would at least know of him.
Yet looking at the man’s cultivation, it was clearly not low. Such a person, Sun Tianming hadn’t heard a thing about, which left him puzzled.
"Could it be... is there another force planning against us?"
Lin Chen frowned deeply. If so, the competition this time was too disadvantageous for them. Being besieged by enemies was a bitter experience.
While they were conversing, the thin man had already entered the maze. Though his speed was quick, upon contacting the formation, the storage ring seemed to be extremely distant from him.
So he ran even faster inside, footsteps flying, and soon, sweat was perspiring on him.
"What’s he doing! Playing around?!"
Yet to outsiders, it looked different.
In their eyes, the thin man kept circling within a two or three-meter range of the cliff, unable to get closer.
"Hey! Xu Hao, hurry so we won’t be delayed, or see how the Lord will deal with you!"
A shout arose from the burly man’s previous voice, shouting at Xu Jie, full of anger, without any courtesy.
The shout interrupted the man’s conversation with Chen Jie. His hands slowly lowered from his head, then looked at Xu Hao, and after a split second, glanced at Chen Jie again, slowly smiling, "It seems your friends have also arrived."
At these words, Chen Jie was startled, looking toward Lin Chen’s location, but due to the formation’s barrier, she couldn’t see inside at all, only deep darkness.
After the man said this, before his smile faded, he leaped out amidst exclamations, rushing forward.
At the moment of entering the formation, his right leg lifted back, then with a kick!
His kick seemed to strike thin air, but a crackling sound emitted just inches away!
This sound quickly spread from above, spreading all around.
As it spread, the spiritual energy originally produced by spirit stones suddenly reversed back to the stones. The moment it turned back, several spirit stones shattered almost simultaneously!
They were shattered into powder by pure force! Scattered by the morning breeze!
This scene caused Lin Chen and Sun Tianming in the cave to have their pupils shrink. They clearly hadn’t expected the man’s strength to be so formidable!
Generally, breaking a formation from outside was hardest, even a simple formation’s spiritual energy flows wouldn’t stop at one place, but flow around.
To break a formation from outside required mastering the spiritual energy’s flow location, but that man’s kick had obviously found the precise location!
"Go!"
Lin Chen shouted, the familiar voice making Chen Jie’s body tremble slightly.
She looked up toward the voice’s source, only to see two figures turn into green light, flying out of the cave towards her direction!
Since the maze couldn’t block them, Lin Chen and the others could only come directly.
