Hearing Su Xi's infuriating words, Li Qiuyu felt a surge of anger, an unnamed fire rising from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head, almost impossible to suppress.
He snorted coldly and said nothing more.
For now, he would let Su Xi be arrogant. He would make sure Su Xi knew what it meant to be powerful and would make Su Xi pay the price for his actions today.
"Why did you come back?" Li Qiuyu looked at Su Xi with disbelief, changing the subject.
She had been observing from the side, but had never heard of anyone returning from that place. Now, Su Xi not only returned, but also brought someone back.
This situation was clearly abnormal.
Moreover, it exceeded his expectations.
Hearing Li Qiuyu's question, Su Xi smiled. "Do you want to know the answer, or should I tell you when I burn paper for you after you die?"
After a verbal exchange, Su Xi looked at Tian Gang Zhenren beside him, signaling if he thought it was enough.
He knew Tian Gang Zhenren had a score to settle, so he couldn't waste any more time.
Tian Gang Zhenren's matter was the most important. All other matters could be disregarded.
Tian Gang Zhenren understood Su Xi's meaning and stepped forward, looking at Shen Wushuang. "Good disciple, there are some things we should settle now."
Shen Wushuang saw Tian Gang Zhenren appear again, and her heart stirred with mixed emotions, almost losing her composure.
The years she spent learning magic from Tian Gang Zhenren were truly unforgettable.
So many years had passed, and it still deeply affected her. She had looked for so many men, but still couldn't forget it all.
It was too sweet.
"Master," Shen Wushuang called out, wanting to rekindle their past affections.
If possible, she would forgive Tian Gang Zhenren now.
At that time, she hadn't truly intended to harm Tian Gang Zhenren. She just didn't want to be looked down upon. She wanted to gain enough power to stay with Tian Gang Zhenren forever.
But Tian Gang Zhenren didn't understand her heart and said such things to her.
"Don't call me that. I am not your master," Tian Gang Zhenren flatly refused Shen Wushuang's greeting. Clearly, the past events still made it impossible for him to forget.
He almost lost his life; how could he have time for romance?
Lin Qing, who had been unable to hold back, said decisively, "Master, I'll handle this. If it's inconvenient for you to act, just stay put."
With that said, Lin Qing rushed forward.
He had been trapped by the formation and was already full of anger.
Now that he saw his enemy, he wouldn't let it go.
Revenge was what she had to do.
Even though Shen Wushuang now possessed a mecha and the power of a planet, Lin Qing was not afraid. Without fighting, no one knew who was stronger.
This Seventh World was not Shen Wushuang's planet, so it wouldn't be easy for her to mobilize the planet's energy. Moreover, Shen Wushuang had already been drained of so much energy by Li Ping. If they really fought, who would win or lose was still uncertain.
"Boom!"
Soon, Lin Qing and Shen Wushuang began to fight. A strong energy fluctuation erupted in the sky, rippling outwards.
Li Qiuyu watched his lover being beaten again, and unpleasant images flashed in his mind, his face darkening.
As a man, he couldn't just stand by.
Therefore, for safety's sake, he had to help as soon as possible.
However, he was also well aware that the people around him were not easy to deal with, so for safety, he couldn't let his guard down. Only by dealing with them could he have time to help.
"Since you all came together, I'll send you all on your way. It's troublesome to find you one by one," Li Qiuyu said, and immediately began to flail his arms, like someone having an epileptic seizure.
As he flailed, he also uttered a string of strange sounds, as if he had been cursed, making it extremely terrifying and tense.
As the sounds from his mouth continued, the darkness around him began to move.
The sun, moon, and stars in the sky began to appear, and then they spread outwards, quickly engulfing everyone.
Li Ping felt all of this, his face showing a hint of doubt, and then he exclaimed, "Not good, this is the Immortal Slaying Formation!"
As the founder of the Great Xuan Empire, Li Ping was very knowledgeable about these ancient formations. Many formations were passed down from ancient times, not only powerful but also completely different from the formations around them.
The methods for breaking formations could not break the Immortal Slaying Formation.
In the past, the Immortal Slaying Formation was also called the "meat grinder," and it had killed tens of thousands of gods and immortals. How could mortals not be terrified?
There was a huge gap between mortals and gods and immortals. Don't just lose your lives.
This was not a matter of daring to act, but an inability to cope.
Although they were numerous, it seemed that dealing with the Immortal Slaying Formation was not a simple matter.
Moreover, he had already expended too much energy. Leaving this place seemed even more unrealistic.
Now, he didn't want to break the formation, but to endure.
The Immortal Slaying Formation was very draining, and Li Qiuyu definitely couldn't sustain it for too long. As long as they could hold on until then, they would win.
"You guys watch over me. I've seen this formation before and might know a way to break it. But until I say so, don't act rashly. Once you fall into a trap, it will be difficult to escape."
After Li Ping finished speaking, he prepared to assign tasks to the people behind him.
But he found that the people behind him were not nervous at all, and seemed to not take his words seriously.
???
What's going on?
Li Ping felt bewildered by the situation, not knowing what had happened.
Did these people not want to leave anymore?
Disobedience could very well lead to death here.
Or perhaps these people lacked experience and thought the Immortal Slaying Formation was too common, hence their lack of concern.
Su Xi looked at Li Ping's shocked expression and smiled. "Don't be too nervous. With the Ancestor here, we can just rest."
???
Hearing Su Xi's words, Li Ping became even more confused.
Had these people been scared silly, causing them to say such nonsensical things?
Did they know the current situation? Once the killing move of the Immortal Slaying Formation was activated, no one could save them. Now Su Xi was telling him not to panic?
Was all of this really possible?
Li Ping really wanted to cover his face and yell.
What had happened to this world?
Ignorant people indeed did not feel fear.
Li Qiuyu looked at the few people who were still calm despite being inside the Immortal Slaying Formation, and a cruel smile appeared on his face.
It seemed they didn't know the power of his formation, which was why they were so composed.
Once his formation was fully activated, no one would be able to deal with it.
Li Qiuyu didn't want to waste any more time and formed a hand seal.
A beam of light fell into the formation, and the surroundings began to tremble, accompanied by strange fluctuations.
Clearly, the Immortal Slaying Formation had begun to activate, and the meat grinder had started running.
As the Immortal Slaying Formation activated, the formation began to tremble continuously.
Then, a series of golden lights illuminated within the Immortal Slaying Formation.
With the appearance of these golden lights, they began to cut towards the people within the formation.
Along with these golden lights, the surroundings instantly exuded a strong chill.
These golden lights were not ordinary lights, but carried a metallic sharpness.
Although he hadn't touched them, Li Ping knew very well.
Once he came into contact with this thing, he would surely turn ice-cold.
Since Su Xi and the others wouldn't help, Li Ping couldn't let himself be cut in half.
He had finally escaped that hellhole to pursue his freedom, and he certainly didn't want to die so soon. Therefore, he had to stay alive.
Li Ping's body was covered in a series of armor, preparing to withstand these golden lights.
"Clang clang!"
Along with these sounds, Li Ping felt a sharp pain in his chest.
Although he had temporarily avoided being cut in half, the pain was still present.
With a fleeting chance to breathe, he looked back at Su Xi and the others, wanting to know their fate.
But when he turned back, he felt completely uneasy.
Why were Su Xi and the others unharmed?
Although Su Xi and the others did nothing, the golden lights floating in the sky did not harm them at all, having no effect whatsoever.
It was as if they had eyes, and couldn't be harmed.
???
The situation made her feel utterly devastated.
It had given him such a shock.
"Why?" Li Ping looked at Su Xi in confusion, wanting to know the answer.
He had worked himself to exhaustion, barely managing to dodge the first wave of attacks. But who knew that Su Xi and the others, doing nothing, were completely fine.
This huge sense of disparity made him feel like he was about to collapse.
If he had known, he would have been just as impulsive.
Su Xi smiled at Li Ping. "I told you, it's all thanks to the Ancestor that it's so easy."
She knew the formation was not simple. But if the formation was created by Tian Gang Zhenren himself, then there would be no difficult problems.
Naturally, she knew how to deal with something she made herself.
Hearing Su Xi's explanation, Li Ping's entire being fell into despair.
