Chapter 602: A Turtle in a Jar

Before the attack began, the Spirit Transformation Stage cultivators of the Piaoxue Trading Firm were full of confidence.

Every one of them was going all out.

So much so that after their strike missed, there was a momentary depletion of Spiritual Power within their bodies.

Facing the counterattack from the experts of the Qian Yu Trading Firm, they failed to dodge in time.

Boom~

Boom~

……

Violent Spiritual Power exploded one after another.

The experts of the Piaoxue Trading Firm all spat out blood and flew backward.

Even Yuan Fei was no exception, and he was in an even more miserable state than the others.

Wang Jianqiang was merely a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.

Yet he himself was at Spirit Transformation Stage Perfection.

There was a full major realm difference between the two.

As for Wang Jianqiang, he had not taken him to heart at all.

For the attack against Wang Jianqiang, he had used fifty percent of his power.

Such power was already enough to crush an ordinary Spirit Transformation Late Stage cultivator; in his view, crushing a Wang Jianqiang to death would be easy.

However.

At the very instant his attack was about to land on Wang Jianqiang, Wang Jianqiang erupted with a terrifying power.

This power actually reached Spirit Transformation Stage Perfection.

It was even superior to his own full-force strike.

And so, the tragedy occurred.

Not only did he fail to harm Wang Jianqiang in the slightest, but he was instead instantly severely wounded by Wang Jianqiang's counterattack.

Yuan Fei forcibly steadied his figure.

He looked at his companions all around who had also suffered severe wounds, his expression turning unsightly.

What on earth was going on?

They were clearly the ones who had set the ambush.

How had the situation suddenly reversed?

Jiang Ling!

How exactly did he handle things?

He subconsciously looked behind him, only to discover that it was completely empty.

Jiang Ling had long since vanished.

His heart skipped a beat.

He hurriedly looked in other directions, and then discovered with horror that a figure had already crossed the Formation around the Heavenly Spirit Soul Liquid.

At this moment.

A Jade Bottle was held in his hand.

And the Heavenly Spirit Soul Liquid had already disappeared!

Jiang Ling?

Seeing the familiar attire of the other party, Yuan Fei's heart stirred.

No!

Following that, his expression suddenly changed again.

That person was merely dressed the same as Jiang Ling, but their build was vastly different.

When his gaze focused on the other person's face.

His expression suddenly went blank.

He is...

Wang Jianqiang!

How is that possible?

Isn't Wang Jianqiang over there?

He subconsciously looked at the other Wang Jianqiang again.

Then, seemingly realizing something, his expression instantly turned ugly.

He stared fixedly at the other Wang Jianqiang, "You are a Disguise, you are not Wang Jianqiang!"

Under his gaze, the other Wang Jianqiang smiled.

A flash of Spirit Light shone on his body, and he transformed into the appearance of Jiang Shan.

"Jiang Shan!"

Seeing Jiang Shan restored to his original appearance, Yuan Fei's face turned livid.

No wonder this Wang Jianqiang was able to erupt with power no weaker than his own full-force strike.

So it was.

He was actually Jiang Shan in disguise.

Immediately after.

He shifted his gaze, looking at the real Wang Jianqiang with murderous intent, "Wang Jianqiang, you actually pretended to be Jiang Ling to deceive me!"

At this moment.

He understood completely.

All that talk of using treasures to lure Wang Jianqiang out of the city.

All that talk of ambushing and killing Wang Jianqiang.

Everything was fake.

From the very beginning, he had fallen into the schemes of these two people.

The real Jiang Ling, I fear, has already fallen into their hands!

Facing Yuan Fei's murderous intent, Wang Jianqiang smiled faintly.

He waved the Jade Bottle in his hand at Yuan Fei, "Tsk tsk, Heavenly Spirit Soul Liquid, what a fine treasure, many thanks to you, Daoist Friend, for the gift."

Yuan Fei heard this.

His face twitched.

This was Heavenly Spirit Soul Liquid!

Even for the Yuan Family, it could be considered a top-tier treasure.

To think it was swindled away by this bastard.

"Kid, consider yourself ruthless, we shall meet again."

Yuan Fei glared fiercely at Wang Jianqiang, turned to look at his companions, and waved his hand, "Let's go."

Just as they were about to fly away, figures flashed one after another.

In the blink of an eye.

Jiang Shan had already surrounded Yuan Fei and the others along with ten other Spirit Transformation Stage cultivators.

Yuan Fei frowned.

He looked at Jiang Shan and sneered, "What, you want to keep us all here?"

Jiang Shan nodded, "I want to try."

"Ridiculous."

A look of mockery appeared on Yuan Fei's face, "Although we have all been injured and our strength is much diminished, if you want to keep us here, you are daydreaming."

"That is not necessarily true."

Just at this moment, a voice suddenly came.

Yuan Fei frowned and looked at Wang Jianqiang.

Wang Jianqiang smiled.

Ignoring Yuan Fei's icy, murderous gaze, he tapped his fingers repeatedly.

Streams of Spirit Light submerged into the void.

The next moment.

The world trembled.

A massive curtain of light rose up, enveloping a space with a diameter of several dozen miles.

"An Array!"

Seeing this scene, Yuan Fei felt a shock in his heart.

His expression sank, "You prepared quite sufficiently, actually setting up an Array in advance."

"It is just a pity..."

"You want to trap us with an Array so we cannot escape?"

"That seems a bit too wishful."

"Unless this Array reaches the Fifth-tier High-grade level, don't even think about trapping us!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

He grabbed forward with his palm.

The Spiritual Power of heaven and earth surged and churned, instantly transforming into a giant palm that slammed against the curtain of light.

Boom!

A violent roaring sound rang out.

The curtain of light did not move in the slightest.

"How is this possible?"

Seeing this scene, a look of disbelief appeared on Yuan Fei's face.

Although his strength was damaged, it was by no means comparable to an ordinary Spirit Transformation Late Stage cultivator.

Under a near-full-power strike, it had not shaken this Array in the slightest.

Even a Fifth-tier Intermediate Array could not possibly have such powerful might!

This was a Fifth-tier High-grade Array!

In Tianyue City.

Array Masters were extremely rare.

As far as he knew, the Qian Yu Trading Firm did not seem to have a Fifth-tier Alchemist.

Could it be that Jiang Shan, in order to deal with him.

Had specifically transferred a Fifth-tier High-grade Array Master from within the Jiang Family.

But.

This still did not make sense.

Not to mention whether the Jiang Family had an Array Master of this level.

Even if they did.

After the Array was set up, it should have been controlled by that Array Master personally, or handed over to Jiang Shan to control.

How could it be controlled by Wang Jianqiang?

Could it be...

Suddenly, a bold guess emerged in his heart.

Could this Array have been set up by Wang Jianqiang?

No~

Absolutely impossible!

The energy required to cultivate the Array Dao is no less than that of the Alchemy Dao.

No one can cultivate both paths and still improve rapidly.

This simply does not conform to common sense.

In between this, something he did not know must have happened.

Just as Yuan Fei's expression kept changing.

Wang Jianqiang had already looked toward Jiang Shan.

"Daoist Friend Jiang, they have become turtles in a jar."

"Finish them off as quickly as possible."

Jiang Shan nodded.

"Kill!"

Following his order, all the experts of the Qian Yu Trading Firm erupted with power.

The battle broke out once again.
