Chapter 331: Thunder Flower Domain
"We have all gained something from our recent retreat. It’s only right to practice." Yu Nianzhen said and Yang Xu rolled his eyes.
"What practice? Don’t you just want to spoil your husband?" He said.
"Master, cultivating and practising is the right way."
"Stop for me!" Yang Xu roared.
He didn’t want to listen to his disciple’s justifications.
In the end, he and Yu Nianzhen were the same kind.
Since Bing Lan and Jiang Yue wanted to beat people, they could only cooperate and not get in the way.
"If everyone agrees, let’s get ready for a good fight. However, you must remember to keep your life."
"We know." Jiang Yue said and nodded excitedly.
He had refined two origin treasures but hadn’t had a chance to try them out.
Now that he had an opportunity, he planned to fight until he was satisfied.
"Alright, let’s get ready."
After that, Jiang Yue began to remove his formation flags.
As he removed the flags, the formation weakened and eventually collapsed.
When that happened, a group of people surrounded them but the six felt no pressure.
"Who activated the ice flame killing formation?" Xuan Ke asked and closely observed the opponents.
"Are you still in the mood to ask about that? If you know what’s good for you, you will hand over all the treasures you found." Su Hong said arrogantly.
"No..., let them hand over their storage rings too." A girl said sullenly.
The girl’s name was Han Min.
She was one of the formation masters invited to break the array.
Unfortunately, her mastery was only at the peak of the third level and she couldn’t do much.
However, she was still angry that she wasted so much time trying to decipher the formation.
"What a big tone." Jiang Yue said and sneered at the two.
Among the group of fourteen opponents, Han Min had the lowest cultivation.
She was at the second level of the origin tempering realm and Su Hong was only a level above her.
"Fellow Daoists, the ice flame killing formation was arranged by the ancestor of our Su family. Everything in the formation belongs to my Su family." Su Changcheng said.
His tone was seemingly amiable but he didn’t mean to be polite.
His low stance was only because he couldn’t see Yang Xu’s cultivation level and he didn’t want to act recklessly.
"Is that so? Why don’t you say that the Nine Treasures secret realm belongs to your Su family?" Xuan Ke mocked.
"I dare not say that but I dare claim the things within the ice flame killing formation."
"What things are you talking about?" Bing Lan asked with narrowed eyes.
When speaking, she noticed that the Su family didn’t know what was within the formation.
In that case, how could the treasures belong to them?
Even if they did, no one was obligated to be polite to others.
Now that the treasures had fallen into their hands, they naturally belonged to them.
"Fellow Daoist, it isn’t appropriate to talk about it here."
"What’s the need for so much nonsense?" Yu Nianzhen suddenly spoke and everyone turned to him.
"Those who have nothing to do with activating the ice flame killing formation should leave. Everyone else can prepare to fight. The truth belongs to the winner."
"How can you be so arrogant? Do you think we won’t fight you?" Han Min asked.
"We are hoping you will." Jiang Yue said with a brilliant smile on his face.
However, those who saw the smile felt chilled.
They felt like they were staring at a dangerous beast and some couldn’t help but take a few steps back.
"Fellow Daoist Su, this matter no longer has anything to do with me. I will be leaving first." A man said and immediately activated a teleportation talisman.
"I only came here to break a formation. Since there is no formation to break, I won’t stay any longer."
"I need to look for opportunities so I will take my leave."
In this way, six formation masters left one after the other.
After all, they were only there for the benefits promised by the Su family.
Since there were no benefits to be had, they didn’t want to risk their lives and lose more than they were willing to gamble.
However, there were also a few who weren’t reconciled.
They had wasted a lot of time trying to break the formation and they didn’t want to gain nothing.
"Eldest brother, can you believe those cowards?" Su Hong roared and Su Changcheng frowned.
"What are you worried about? We still have eight while they only have six." Han Min said.
"Sister Han is right. It’s good that they left. We can share more in this way."
"Unfortunately, you won’t have a life to share anything." Jiang Yue said and a sanxian appeared in his arms.
At the same time, shanjiang appeared in Yu Nianzhen’s right hand and the others also released their weapons.
When Jiang Yue saw this, he frowned.
"What’s wrong?" Yu Nianzhen asked.
"Isn’t it too bullying for all of us to act?" Jiang Yue asked.
His face was a mask of concern and the Su side couldn’t help but get angry.
"You are right. We should have integrity and give others a way to live." Yu Nianzhen said and nodded.
However, Yang Xu saw through them and rolled his eyes.
"Get to it." He said and didn’t mean to interfere.
"Master is righteous." Jiang Yue said before his eyes turned indifferent.
A moment later, a pleasant sound floated in the air and the opponents were enclosed in a circular barrier.
The barrier had a diameter of five metres and its walls were transparent.
"Do you think you can trap us?" One of the formation masters screamed and removed his formation compass.
"Watch how I dismantle your formation." Han Min sneered.
"I would like to see how you do it." Jiang Yue said with a smile on his face.
While the formation masters were deciphering the formation, the Su siblings were not idle.
They continuously attacked the formation but it didn’t break.
Instead, the attacks were distributed through the barrier and siphoned to the ground.
Soon after, small herbs began to sprout and covered the entire ground.
The herbs had green leaves and tightly closed yellow buds.
With every attack on the barrier, the herbs grew a little, and the buds began to open.
In the blink of an eye, a soothing fragrance accompanied by ethereal music diffused in the barrier.
Instantaneously, the eight in the barrier stopped what they were doing and fell into a daze.
They subconsciously relaxed their defences, lowered themselves to the ground, and curled in a foetal position with smiles on their faces.
"What are they doing?" Xuan Ke asked with a shocked expression.
"Brother Jiang, are they under an illusion?" Li Futian asked.
"They seem so happy and peaceful." Bing Lan said and Jiang Yue smirked.
’Not for long.’ He thought.
A moment later, bolts of lightning appeared in the barrier and fell on the eight cultivators.
However, they neither noticed nor did anything to defend themselves.
Instead, they maintained a happy expression even after their bodies were burned to a crisp.
"You..., brother, aren’t you too scary?" Xuan Ke asked and took a step away from Jiang Yue.
"XiaoYue, is this the effect of your first treasure world? The dual effect of the heavenly gentle soil and heavenly thunder stone?" Yu Nianzhen asked.
"How is it?"
"It’s very powerful."
"Illusion arts usually need time to produce a good effect. I thought of your sword domain and incorporated a formation to create my thunder flower domain."
"Thunder Flower domain..." Yu Nianzhen said and his lips couldn’t help but twitch.
"Brother Jiang, can you stand the consumption of the Thunder Flower domain?" Li Futian asked.
"Don’t worry, it’s fine." Jiang Yue said and chuckled.
The Thunder Flower domain was a combination of illusions and reality.
The real parts were the flowers and lightning.
However, the effect of the flowers was extremely exaggerated.
Under ordinary circumstances, the hallucinogenic effect of the flowers was not enough to daze an origin tempering realm cultivator to the point they would ignore a lightning attack.
However, within Jiang Yue’s domain, the flower scent triggered a powerful illusion that was impossible to escape.
"It’s too bad I didn’t get to try my second origin treasures." He mumbled.
"There will be a chance in the future. Don’t worry." Yu Nianzhen soothed and rubbed his husband’s hair.
"You are right, we still have seventy years. I don’t believe we won’t meet many people for me to practice." Jiang Yue cheered up but the others were a little uneasy.
"Brother Jiang, aren’t you a little too bloodthirsty?" Xuan Ke asked.
"It’s okay, I am just talking."
"It’s good if you are just talking about it."
"What do you take me for? Unless forced by circumstances, I really don’t like killing." Jiang Yue assured but the others didn’t believe him.
Still, Yu Nianzhen looked at him with a doting smile and thought.
’It doesn’t matter if you like killing. I will accompany you even if you become a demon.’
