The surprise flickered and was gone, Er Zhu’s gaze returning to calm.
Led by Lu Qian, Er Zhu arrived at Qing Cheng Pavilion, located in a secret passage in the mall’s basement.
The corridor, stretching as far as the eye could see, was deserted. Coupled with the dim lighting, it sent a chill down one’s spine!
Seeing Er Zhu slowly walk forward, Lu Qian seized the opportunity and fled in a panic.
Er Zhu, too lazy to give chase, continued his slow advance.
*Ding…*
Just as Er Zhu reached the center, the floor beneath his feet suddenly gave way, and a thick miasma materialized in mid-air!
The miasma converged, and in an instant, a dragon phantom appeared in the sky!
*Roar…*
Accompanied by a dragon’s roar, the great dragon charged rapidly towards Er Zhu. A glint flashed in Er Zhu’s eyes as he quickly drew his peach wood sword!
At the same moment, a phantom of an Eight Trigrams diagram appeared on the ground. The dragon seemed drawn to it, its speed doubling!
The Eight Trigrams Dragon Spine Formation!
Gazing at the charging dragon and the Eight Trigrams diagram on the ground, these words surfaced in Er Zhu’s mind.
The Eight Trigrams Dragon Spine Formation was one of the most vicious formations within Feng Shui killing arrays. There was a mechanism within the Eight Trigrams diagram; if triggered, Er Zhu would surely die!
And the dragon was even more fearsome. Since it was formed from miasma, anyone killed by it would be possessed by the miasma, becoming a monster neither human nor ghost!
Considering this, a spiritual light flickered in Er Zhu’s eyes, and his peach wood sword emanated a dazzling glow!
“Slash!”
As the dragon was about to touch him, Er Zhu shouted, and the peach wood sword flew out!
*Whoosh…*
A streak of spiritual light flashed, and the dragon was cut in half, but it instantly reformed!
A trace of surprise flickered in Er Zhu’s eyes. Suddenly, he remembered the passage in the Feng Shui secret arts!
How could he forget that this dragon was unkillable? To make it perish, the mechanism lay within the Eight Trigrams diagram itself!
“Retrieve!”
Er Zhu shouted again, and the peach wood sword instantly returned to his waist. The dragon, roaring, charged at Er Zhu once more!
As Er Zhu searched for a way to survive, Fang Mingsheng and others burst into laughter, their eyes filled with triumph and mockery.
“The Eight Trigrams Dragon Spine Formation is a top-tier formation from my Miao territory, and its破解 technique is known only to me and a few elders. Wang Er Zhu is doomed to die this time!”
“I thought this Wang Er Zhu was so capable, but it turns out he’s nothing special.”
“Indeed. If I had known he’d die so quickly, I wouldn’t have gone to such lengths.”
Watching the tense scene on the computer, Fang Mingsheng felt a sense of anticlimax.
He had initially thought this would be a challenge, but it was just like any other time.
If he had known Wang Er Zhu was this weak, he should have let his subordinates handle it.
*Pfft…*
Just as Fang Mingsheng and the others believed Er Zhu was surely dead, Elder Gu suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood!
Fang Mingsheng and Chen Yongsheng quickly looked at the computer, but what they saw left them dumbfounded!
The dragon had turned to dust, and the Eight Trigrams diagram on the floor had vanished!
“Elder Gu, what’s going on? How was this formation broken!”
Chen Yongsheng pointed at the computer and asked furiously.
“I… I don’t know either.”
Elder Gu’s face was pale. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with shock!
The Eight Trigrams Dragon Spine Formation was laid with his essence blood, so he knew the formation was broken the moment he vomited blood!
However, in a hundred years, no one had ever broken the Eight Trigrams Dragon Spine Formation, yet Wang Er Zhu had!
Who was this person?
“You don’t know? This Feng Shui array was set up by you, who else would know!”
Chen Yongsheng was naturally dissatisfied with Elder Gu’s answer and questioned him again.
“Enough, it’s just a Feng Shui array that was broken, no need to be so anxious. I will make Wang Er Zhu wish he were dead next!”
Just as Chen Yongsheng was about to question further, Fang Mingsheng suddenly spoke.
Regarding Er Zhu breaking the Feng Shui array, Fang Mingsheng wasn’t as shocked as Chen Yongsheng or Elder Gu. In fact, he felt it was all within reason!
Because Wang Er Zhu was a cultivator!
And, someone with a higher cultivation than him!
While Elder Gu, no matter how skilled, was merely a master of蛊毒 (gu poison), a vast difference from a cultivator!
*Pfft…*
At this moment, Elder Gu vomited blood again and fell heavily to the ground!
Elder Gu’s face was ashen, as if only his last breath remained!
Seeing Elder Gu’s miserable state, his disciples quickly carried him away. Chen Yongsheng looked at the blood on the ground, his eyes filled with shock!
He had initially thought Wang Er Zhu was just a shrewd businessman, but now it seemed the matter was far from simple!
Fortunately, he had chosen to cooperate, otherwise, he would be the one injured now!
Chen Yongsheng watched Elder Gu’s retreating figure, a flicker of fear in his shocked eyes.
In Qing Cheng Pavilion, as the Feng Shui formation disappeared, peace was restored. Er Zhu picked up the copper coins from the ground and smiled faintly.
It seemed the蛊毒 masters from Miao territory had arrived!
And they had cooperated with Qing Cheng Pavilion!
While others might feel immense pressure at such a thought, Er Zhu was quite pleased.
For him, this was a surprise and the best gift for the New Year!
Not far away, Lu Qian, hiding in a corner, stared blankly at Er Zhu’s receding figure.
Who exactly was this Wang Er Zhu? How could he so easily break the most skilled Feng Shui killing array of the Miao蛊毒 masters!
However, this was for the best!
This way, Qing Cheng Pavilion would have a chance to make a move!
He believed that after this battle, Qing Cheng Pavilion’s prestige would grow ever higher!
And this would undoubtedly be a New Year’s gift from all their assassins to Qing Cheng Pavilion!
Er Zhu glanced back from the corner of his eye, seeing Lu Qian who had been following him, but he paid him no mind and continued forward.
*Whoosh…*
But after only a few steps, dense fog suddenly billowed out from both sides!
The fog grew thicker and thicker, obscuring Er Zhu’s vision!
*Whoosh…*
At this moment, a dagger flew towards Er Zhu with lightning speed, about to hit him!
Er Zhu narrowed his eyes and quickly drew his Ming Hong Saber!
*Clang!*
As the two blades clashed, sparks flew. The incoming dagger fell to the ground, its tip broken!
*Whoosh!*
As Er Zhu was about to move forward, a gust of wind blew, and Er Zhu vaguely saw a figure approaching.
The fog thickened, and Er Zhu squinted, looking at the approaching silhouette.
It was a beautiful woman!
And, a woman who bore an uncanny resemblance to Li Mei!
For a moment, Er Zhu even thought Li Mei herself was standing before him!
“Er Zhu, I will live and die with you!”
The woman shouted and charged at Er Zhu. Er Zhu instinctively wanted to push her away, but seeing the face so similar to Li Mei’s, he couldn’t bring himself to do it.
“Why did you come?”
Looking at the piteous beauty in his arms, Er Zhu’s mind became hazy…
