Chapter 519: Chapter 27 I have never seen such a shameless person
Emerging from the Shocking Thunder Formation, the High Priest’s black and white robes were already somewhat tattered, with some areas even showing signs of scorching.
But in the end, she had broken through the Formation.
This Formation was not an Illusion Array, and she understood a few tricks, barely managing to walk out from under the thunder strikes.
Not all formations can be broken by brute force, besides, her Demonic Qi was also being depleted; she couldn’t just use brute force every time she encountered one.
As she stepped out of the formation, she saw another chess piece planted ahead of her.
"This time it’s truly safe."
"Hmph, the same old trick, you still want to deceive me!"
The High Priest felt that the previous Shocking Thunder Formation must have been the last one, so she confidently entered the next one.
A few minutes later, she emerged from flames.
Her robe was burnt off halfway, exposing her legs.
Not that there was much to see on those stubby legs.
Stepping out from the blazing fire Formation, the High Priest was absolutely livid.
"I have never seen such a brazen and shameless person!"
What happened to it being safe ahead?
The most infuriating thing was that another flag had appeared ahead of her.
"Third time’s the charm, now there’s really nothing left."
High Priest: "..."
Her contest with Lin Yun was just that plain and simple.
It was like playing rock-paper-scissors, where Lin Yun said, "I’m going to throw rock this round."
The High Priest thought, "you’re trying to bluff me, to make me think you’ll throw paper, so then I’ll throw scissors, but in reality, you actually throw rock, and then I lose."
Therefore, the High Priest’s choice was to genuinely throw paper, and it turned out that Lin Yun threw scissors...
Having been deceived twice, the High Priest glared at the words on the flag and sneered, "I bet you can only think this far!"
Afterward, the High Priest dove in without hesitation.
A sky-full of Sword Qi shot over.
This was a Sword Array.
Goodness, it really was different every time.
After emerging from the Sword Array, the High Priest’s clothes were completely in tatters.
In fact, the Formation wasn’t hard to break, after all, Lin Yun had set it up hastily, aiming for simplicity.
His goal was to mess with her mind, he never really expected the Formations to do much against the High Priest.
The relentless bombardment by various Formations might not have inflicted substantial harm on the High Priest, but after consistently misjudging Lin Yun’s actions,
and up ahead, there was yet another flag, the writing on which almost made the High Priest blow her top.
"I have never seen such a stubborn person, you win, there are indeed more ahead, and I’m coming for you!"
Humiliation, this was humiliation!
The High Priest felt she was being toyed with by Lin Yun; she could accept being outmatched in battle, but not being made a fool of by him.
These Formations, though not greatly harmful, were quite insulting.
The High Priest wished she could turn back and fight Lin Yun for three hundred rounds, but remembering that sky-shattering sword he had launched, it was a good thing she had the Golden Cicada’s Shedding; had it hit her, wouldn’t she have been blown apart by him?
But the flag also stated he was about to chase after her!
These Formations had wasted her time, and Lin Yun had prepared the Air Restriction Formation in advance, indicating he was well-prepared; if his words were true, and he really was coming after her, then her next decision would be critical.
If she chose wrongly, the consequences were unimaginable.
So was Lin Yun’s statement true or false?
Were there Formations ahead, or not?
The High Priest’s mood had shifted from initially composed to tense.
If she chose wrong, she might end up being captured by Lin Yun, and getting killed might be the least painful way out. Considering the hatred Lin Yu held for her, there’s no telling how she might torture her!
My lord, come and save me!
The High Priest even started to invoke Wu Xin in her heart.
Wu Xin: "Hey? The wind is too loud, I can’t hear you!"
The High Priest was panicked, but at this time, Lin Yun actually hadn’t gone after her.
The reason was simple, he had gone to watch the play halfway through chasing her.
He didn’t know which direction the High Priest ran towards anyway, and since there were only two paths leading off the mountain, he had set up the same Formation at both ends, so it didn’t matter which way the High Priest took; he wasn’t in a rush and would check when the time felt right.
Even if she did manage to escape, it wouldn’t matter. It’s all about playing the long game to catch a big fish, especially since his blood was still in her possession!
The drama Lin Yun was watching was the confrontation between Hei Feng and Bai Jing.
On their way up the mountain, these two had already encountered each other, and both held some doubts in their hearts: Why had the High Priest also summoned her (him)?
The pair didn’t converse much, but they were both calculating in their minds.
Wasn’t this an opportunity sent from heaven?
Now all they needed to do was go up the mountain and stir up conflict between Lin Yu and the High Priest, inciting them to fight each other.
Bai Jing had even thought of the perfect reason to drive a wedge between them.
He would say that the High Priest didn’t actually want to save Lin Yu’s husband, but to save Lin Yun, and it wasn’t necessarily with the Oblivion Gu Worm. Besides curing poison, the Oblivion Gu Worm also had the effect of nurturing other Gu worms, so she must be plotting against Lin Yu. Even if Lin Yu offered her heart to activate the Oblivion Gu Worm, the High Priest likely wouldn’t give it to Lin Yun to use.
Lin Yu and the High Priest weren’t very close to begin with and probably didn’t trust each other deeply, so this talk should be enough to cause conflict between them.
It must be said that Bai Jing’s fabricated reason for stirring up trouble was entirely accurate; the High Priest indeed didn’t wish to save Lin Yun.
Only, his reason turned out to be unnecessary.
They hadn’t even reached the mountain yet when they saw the confrontation between Lin Yu and the High Priest.
The power of Lin Yu’s Sword Qi was so immense that the sword light reaching for the skies could be seen from a great distance.
Aside from the High Priest, who else could exchange blows with her?
Caught on the path up the mountain, both Hei Feng and Bai Jing were momentarily stunned.
Could there be such good fortune?
I haven’t even made a move, and they’re already fighting each other?
If that’s the case, isn’t this a heaven-sent opportunity?
In the vicinity of the Divine Temple, there were no others around, which meant that neither Black Wind Fort nor White Wind Stronghold could send reinforcements to them.
This was an ideal battlefield.
Bai Jing was moved by the thought.
There is a saying: fortune comes from taking risks, and it was perfect that Gao Qing was also here.
This battle would be the three of us against one. Hei Feng, thinking that it was the High Priest who summoned her, would certainly not be very guardful.
Tonight would surely be settled!
At this time, Hei Feng had already prepared herself.
With such an excellent opportunity, Bai Jing definitely wouldn’t hold back.
To give Bai Jing even more confidence, she even walked to the front, exposing her back to Bai Jing.
What a great chance for a surprise attack—if you go for it, you’ll be falling right into the trap!
Among the four, only Bai Gan was completely oblivious to the subtle shift in the atmosphere; she gazed longingly at the sword light filling the sky, her eyes also revealing a bit of desire.
While the way of nurturing Gu worms in the Southern Border was indeed powerful, after witnessing Lin Yu’s dazzling sword strike, Bai Gan realized that the insects she’d been cultivating were just trivial pursuits—wielding a sword was far more impressive!
Just as she was curious why the people above had started fighting, her brother made his move.
Bai Jing launched an Explosive Gu Worm towards Hei Feng, producing a thunderous noise.
A golden layer appeared on Hei Feng’s body as she assumed an expression of shock and anger, and she scolded, "Bai Jing, what are you doing!"
"Killing you!"
