Chapter 129: Four Symbols Dragon-Trapping Formation

After the group arrived at the destination, Wei Wuyang, the formation master, circled the foot of the mountain and chose a good ambush position, preparing to set up the second-tier grand formation he had brought here.

Under the command of Third Brother Song Qingze, except for Gu Feng and Song Qingming, who understood formations and stayed behind to help Wei Wuyang set up the formation, the other four went to the nearby Liu River to find blood food to lure the beast into the formation.

The second-tier formation brought by Wei Wuyang was called the Four Symbols Dragon-Trapping Formation, a second-tier low-quality enemy-trapping formation. When cultivators dealt with powerful beasts, this type of auxiliary enemy-trapping formation was very useful. The Golden Net Beast-Trapping Formation used by the Liu family over a decade ago when organizing a hunt for a second-tier beast in the Mount Fuyun range was a similar formation.

After the three spent over half an hour setting up the formation, Song Qingze and the others successfully found the bait and returned here with a strange fish over three feet long.

The reason the Flowing Flower Leopard occupied this spiritual vein was that it liked to devour a type of first-tier beast called the Flying Carp in the nearby Liu River. Every once in a while, it would go down the mountain to the nearby Liu River to hunt this beast.

The Flying Carp, a type of fish beast, tasted very delicious when made into spiritual food. Song Qingming often went to the Tianfeng Tower to taste this delicacy when he was in Guiyun Market, but it was a pity that he had never enjoyed it again after returning to Qinghe County these past few years.

After killing the Flying Carp, they threw it into the set-up formation, and then everyone sprinkled some of the Flying Carp's fresh blood around to increase the beast scent here.

The Flowing Flower Leopard had a very sensitive nose and could smell the blood scent from over ten miles away. Soon, the scent of the Flying Carp drifted with the light breeze into the lair where the Flowing Flower Leopard was located.

Soon, a powerful pressure arrived at the place where everyone was ambushed. Seeing the Flowing Flower Leopard, which was over a zhang long, everyone still felt somewhat nervous.

When it saw the Flying Carp's corpse, the Flowing Flower Leopard did not rush forward to taste this delicacy immediately. Its eyes first turned around, and seeing that no other beasts were found in the surroundings, it then walked into the Four Symbols Dragon-Trapping Formation.

Unexpectedly, this beast was quite cautious. Fortunately, Wei Wuyang had set up an additional concealment formation in advance, hiding everyone's figures ahead of time, so they did not expose everyone's position prematurely.

Just as it swallowed the Flying Carp into its belly, a white mist suddenly rose from the ground around the Flowing Flower Leopard. Following that, a yellow earth dragon drilled out from the ground and instantly wrapped tightly around the Flowing Flower Leopard's body.

The Flowing Flower Leopard was also somewhat flustered by this sudden attack. A pair of claws pulled the earth dragon off its body with force. However, before it could catch its breath, a giant yellow earth turtle, similar in size to it, pounced toward it, instantly pressing it to the ground.

After the earth dragon that had just been torn off by the Flowing Flower Leopard fell to the ground, it quickly condensed its body again and rolled toward the Flowing Flower Leopard, followed closely by two puppet-like giant birds and a fierce tiger.

"Everyone, act quickly! The formation alone cannot kill it."

With a shout from Wei Wuyang, except for the three formation masters who had just set up the formation and were responsible for controlling it, Song Qingze and the remaining others raised the magic tools in their hands and killed toward the Flowing Flower Leopard, which was entangled with several yellow earth puppets.

The Flowing Flower Leopard was a beast that excelled in speed. After being trapped by the Four Symbols Dragon-Trapping Formation, its speed was difficult to exert. Facing the siege of Song Qingze and the others, it could only rely on its physical body to resist.

Although Song Qingze and the others were all top-tier Qi Refining cultivators, the attacks they unleashed caused very limited damage to the Flowing Flower Leopard. After all, this was a second-tier beast, and its defensive power was far from what Qi Refining beasts could compare to. While dealing with the containment of the formation puppets, the Flowing Flower Leopard could also continuously release sharp spells to counterattack Song Qingze and the others who were besieging it.

The few people besieging the beast in front had been attacking in turns. Although they caused a lot of damage to the Flowing Flower Leopard, they were still some distance away from taking down this beast. Among the four responsible for attacking, Song Qingze and Liu Qiting had broken through the ninth layer of Qi Refining for many years, and they were the main force attacking the beast. Du Yucheng and Meng Ran were about the same as Song Qingming, having only reached the ninth layer of Qi Refining in the past year or two, so their strength was weaker, and they could only continuously contain the Flowing Flower Leopard's energy on the side.

After grinding for another half an hour, the three people controlling the formation, Song Qingming and the others, had already consumed most of their magic power, and they couldn't help but feel somewhat anxious in their hearts.

Fortunately, at this time, the Flowing Flower Leopard's energy had also been consumed by them, and the spells it released had become much weaker, gradually beginning to lose the ability to counterattack.

Seeing that the timing was ripe, Liu Qiting put away the top-grade flying sword in his hand and retreated to the side, raising his hand to sacrifice a purple giant bow, crazily pouring the magic power in his body into it.

"The two of you step aside first, watch me kill this beast."

Liu Qiting's purple giant bow was a second-tier low-quality magic tool with astonishing attack power, but it had one disadvantage: the spell-casting speed was slightly slow, and it was easy to be interrupted when used. Precisely because of this, he didn't dare to take it out to use at the beginning.

Meng Ran and Liu Qiting had known each other for many years. As soon as they saw Liu Qiting take out the purple giant bow, they quickly shifted positions to in front of him, released the defensive magic tool in their hands, protected Liu Qiting behind them, and blocked several spells issued by the Flowing Flower Leopard.

Under the continuous injection of Liu Qiting's spiritual power, a cyan sharp arrow soon appeared on the purple giant bow. With a crisp sound, the sharp arrow shot out quickly and instantly hit the Flowing Flower Leopard, which was entangled by the formation puppets. The sharp arrow directly passed through the Flowing Flower Leopard's huge body, leaving a fist-sized blood hole, and blood splashed all over the ground, causing it to instantly lose its footing and lie on the ground.

This direct hit almost left the Flowing Flower Leopard on the verge of death. Liu Qiting's move directly stunned everyone, and they cast awe-filled gazes toward him one after another. They never expected that the second-tier magic tool on him would have such great power, causing such great damage to a second-tier beast with just one strike.

Regarding everyone's gazes, Liu Qiting and Meng Ran were already accustomed to it. This second-tier magic tool was personally refined by a highly skilled refiner in Liu Qiting's family. Since he reached the ninth layer of Qi Refining and refined this magic tool, it was not the first time he had taken it out to kill second-tier beasts, and every time he used it, he could basically achieve this effect.

"Careful, the beast is still alive!"

Song Qingze thought this Flowing Flower Leopard was already done for and was about to step forward to check, but unexpectedly, the Flowing Flower Leopard before his eyes stood up again. Seeing this, Song Qingze hurriedly shouted to remind everyone.

The Flowing Flower Leopard roared angrily, startling Song Qingze back, and then turned to rush toward Song Qingming and the others who were controlling the formation on the other side. This sudden change also stunned everyone.
