Chapter 373: Lue Feng Zunzhe's Soul Appears!

The horrifying terrifying force violently shook the Black Stone Square, completely wrapped by the formation, from the ground up into the air ten-odd meters.

In the blink of an eye, under gravity's pull, it came crashing down heavily onto the ground again!

The violent shaking made even a few people outside the square feel extreme horror.

Unfortunately, even with this attack, the blood-colored barrier only dimmed slightly, yet showed no sign of damage.

"Quick, we also attack this formation from outside to rescue them."

Those inside were trapped; seeing this, some teammates outside hurriedly shouted.

Meanwhile, those inside without teammates, upon seeing them trapped, instinctively wanted to flee the place.

However, when they looked around, they were instantly dumbfounded.

This ruin, where could there be any exit?

"Let's rescue them first; later, with more people and greater strength, we might find a way out."

Seeing that escape was hopeless, everyone rose to rescue those trapped inside the Black Stone Square.

"Everyone, exert your strength together—attack from inside and outside!"

Arriving before the formation, those outside began using hand signals to communicate with those inside.

Next, the outside crowd quickly dispersed and then began unleashing their strongest battle techniques.

"Heaven Slaughter Blade!"

"Stir Body Leg!"

"Blazing Flame Sword Art!"

In an instant, splendid streams of light shot straight across the sky, sweeping toward the formation!

Seeing this, those inside also hurriedly unleashed their battle techniques, striking the same spot as the outside attackers.

As for Xiao Yixian, she also used the power of a one-star Battle Sect to bombard the blood-colored barrier before her.

In an instant, the full-force strikes of thirty-odd Battle Sect practitioners, sixty-odd Battle Emperors, and fifty-odd Battle Kings turned into streams of light, almost simultaneously slamming onto the blood-colored barrier!

A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering boom rang out again, suddenly echoing within the ruins.

Under such terrifying attack, in an instant, large swaths of space could not withstand this energy's distortion, directly shattering into countless transparent fragments filling the sky.

After the space, a pitch-black void immediately appeared.

Under the combined internal and external assault, the blood-colored energy instantly dimmed by more than half, leaving only an extremely thin layer of pale red.

"Hmph!"

In the course of this powerful clash, Lue Feng Zunzhe let out a muffled grunt from his throat.

His illusory form was also forced out.

In the blink of an eye, a short, thin-haired illusory old man resembling a monkey appeared at the formation's center.

Moreover, compared to before, Lue Feng Zunzhe's soul now became somewhat more transparent.

It seems that withstanding everyone's joint attack just now also took a heavy toll on him.

"That's a soul body?!"

Gazing at the illusory figure suddenly appearing above the Black Stone Square, the crowds inside and outside the formation.

all were shocked, raising their heads to look at the illusory silhouette in the sky.

And Xiao Yixian and the Heaven Fire Venerable also finally saw this behind-the-scenes mastermind.

"This soul body is far stronger than us; in life he must have been a Battle Venerable powerhouse—what does he intend by trapping us?"

Huagu Men Men Zhu and that Old Man Qin raised their heads to look at him, murmuring in their hearts.

That Old Man Qin, who roams the Western Wasteland, is naturally a slick old hand.

Upon realizing his strength was inferior to the predecessor's, he quickly bowed and clasped his hands, saying: "Senior, we entered this place by accident, with no intention of disturbing your tranquility; please, senior, show magnanimity, open a passage, and let us leave."

"Yes, we all intruded upon your residence by accident; please, show us leniency."

After Old Man Qin spoke, everyone else reacted, hurriedly bowing and clasping their hands as well.

"Heh heh, let you go? I've gone to all this trouble—not to let you leave."

Having said that, Lue Feng Zunzhe's hand seal suddenly changed; the pressure inside the formation became extremely terrifying the next second.

"Hum!"

Within the Black Stone Square, an invisible pressure squeezed everyone's bodies from all directions.

Under this pressure, some weaker Battle Emperors and Battle Kings curled up helplessly.

And those Battle Sect practitioners all bent their bodies.

"Bang!"

Soon after, a not-so-crisp explosion sound rang out abruptly within the Bloodthirsty Spirit-transforming Formation.

Hearing this sound, everyone's hearts jolted, and they hurriedly turned to look.

They saw a Battle King realm cultivator, under this pressure, directly blown into a cloud of blood mist.

But immediately, those blood mists were absorbed into the formation disc beneath the great formation.

Witnessing this, a chilling feeling beyond words surged up from deep within everyone's hearts.

And this explosion sound was like a fuse.

After that Battle King's body exploded, a series of blast sounds erupted continuously within the Bloodthirsty Spirit-transforming Formation.

Seeing this, many inside the formation were terrified out of their wits, hurriedly pleading with Lue Feng Zunzhe with flattering words.

However, Lue Feng Zunzhe paid no heed to their pleas, instead continuing to manipulate the formation on his own.

Within just a few seconds, all cultivators below Battle Sect rank were blown into blood mist and swiftly sucked into the formation disc by the formation.

And after absorbing the flesh and blood of those who exploded, the blood-colored red radiance emanating from the formation grew ever richer!

However, with all his attention focused on these people before him, Lue Feng Zunzhe failed to notice.

As the Bloodthirsty Spirit-transforming Formation absorbed the flesh and blood of the cultivators after the explosion, strands of extremely extremely fine purplish-brown blood were quietly absorbed together with that flesh and blood.

"Since this old bastard doesn't want to let us go, even if we die, we can't let him have it easy!"

Seeing that Lue Feng Zunzhe had no intention of letting them go, the Qin-surnamed elder who was in slightly better condition turned his head and shouted loudly at the others inside the formation.

"Exactly, we absolutely can't let him have it easy!"

Hearing what the former said, the other Fighting Sect cultivators who had begged bitterly for mercy but received no response all agreed.

Those who can cultivate to such a level mostly still have very usable brains.

Upon seeing the formation beneath their feet that could actually absorb flesh and blood, they basically also roughly guessed the purpose of this formation.

Thus, naturally they did not want Lue Feng Zunzhe to succeed.

Immediately after, those cultivators, reckless of their lives, charged toward that Lue Feng Zunzhe.

"A bunch of rats, even now, still dare to dream of making a last stand!"

Seeing the scene before him, Lue Feng Zunzhe's brows furrowed slightly, his hand seal suddenly changed, and he then coldly snorted.

"Boom!"

As Lue Feng Zunzhe's words fell, those cultivators below the rank of star Dou Zong.

They, just like the previous Fighting Emperors and Kings, all exploded into clouds of blood mist.
