Chapter 4221 The Final Kick
Because it suddenly occurred to me that with Huo Qingfeng's strength, breaking the magic array I set up wouldn't be easy, but given some time, he would be able to destroy it. We've been out for most of the day, so we must send Kasang back to check if the magic array I set up is still there. Otherwise, we'll have wasted our time working here, only to have Huo Qingfeng steal our home.
Kassan responded and immediately vanished into the void, heading towards the village.
We're not in a hurry to start. There are only two key points left in the formation, so we need to rest. Mainly, I'm on edge right now and feel like I'm about to give up.
When Huo Qingfeng set up this Nine Turns Yellow Springs magic array, he must have put in a lot of effort. It was a big job, and he did it very discreetly. No one in the nearby villages noticed anything unusual, mainly because this place was a desolate wilderness, and no one would come here after nightfall.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, Kasang returned and told us that the magic circle I had set up was still there and no one had touched it.
Hearing Kassan say that, I felt relieved.
I called out to Yuan Kong and began to break the second magic array.
Before we took action, I had a few of them keep watch and pay attention to their surroundings.
That feeling of unease made me somewhat anxious, as if something big was about to happen.
My premonitions are usually very accurate, and they're always right, even when they're bad.
After Yuan Kong and I worked together for a while, we quickly dug out the eighth array eye; everything else was normal.
When I tried to move the stone toad sculpture at the outlet of the hidden pipe, I discovered something unusual.
The stone toad sculpture at the exit could be moved with a gentle touch.
But the stone toad in front of me seemed to be welded to the ground, and I couldn't move it at all.
Of course, for safety's sake, I wore rubber gloves when moving any of the arrangements in this array, just in case Huo Qingfeng tampered with them.
Soon, Yuan Kong also noticed the problem. He said with a serious expression, "Brother Wu, this stone toad..."
Before I could finish speaking, I saw the eyes of the stone toad suddenly light up, emitting two beams of red light. Immediately afterward, a burst of red energy erupted from beneath our feet.
Not only under our feet, but also in the places where the underground pipes were dug out earlier, red vapors were also emanating from.
Damn it, that bastard Huo Qingfeng has tampered with the eighth array point again.
This stone toad is connected to the power of the earth's evil spirits. If it is not dealt with quickly, everything we have done before will be in vain.
I saw some blood-red runes on the stone toad sculpture. It seems that only by activating the power of blood essence can this array be broken.
However, to unleash the power of my essence and blood to break the formation, it will inevitably cause me some damage.
Huo Qingfeng, you're incredibly cunning and treacherous, plotting every step of the way. You're driving me to my death!
If this key point of the formation is not broken soon, the Nine Turns Yellow Springs Dark Water Formation will quickly activate, and Zhang Qing'an's son and grandson will die instantly.
For Lao Zhang's sake, I had no choice but to go all out. After hesitating for a moment, I was about to use my fingernail to cut open the space between my eyebrows and extract the blood.
Just as I was about to make my move, Yuan Kong had already cut open the space between my eyebrows and injected two drops of his essence blood into the stone toad. When Yuan Kong's two drops of essence blood landed on the stone toad, the stone toad's blood-red eyes instantly dimmed, and then the red aura emanating from the nine bends quickly receded.
Looking at Yuan Kong again, he let out a muffled groan and sat down on the ground with a thud.
When I helped Yuankong up, his face was deathly pale and his body was trembling. As soon as he stood up, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
When his hand touched the stone toad, a force entered Yuan Kong's body.
Yuan Kong was already injured at this point.
After breaking through the eight key points of the formation, three of our men were injured, greatly reducing our combat effectiveness.
Everyone gathered around, asking what had happened to Yuan Kong. When I told them what had happened, everyone became worried.
Huo Qingfeng's Nine-Bend Yellow Spring Dark Water Formation seems to be aimed at Zhang Qing'an's family, but in fact, it is mainly aimed at us.
After some recuperation, Zhang Qing'an looked better. He walked over, glanced at Yuan Kong, sighed, and said, "Xiao Jie, why don't we just leave this formation? We can't risk your lives here for the sake of our family. I have a feeling that this ninth formation eye must be extremely dangerous. We might all lose our lives here."
"Senior Zhang, what nonsense are you talking about? The first eight array eyes have all been destroyed, and only this one remains. It's the final push, and we can't afford to fail at the last hurdle," I said solemnly.
"Old Wu, Huo Qingfeng must be thinking the same thing. There must be a big problem with the last array eye. He wants to use this Nine Turns Yellow Spring Dark Water Array to constantly wear down our fighting power. Once we break through the ninth array eye, he'll probably come out and reap the rewards." The slovenly Taoist looked around, trying to find Huo Qingfeng.
But in this desolate wilderness, we couldn't see a single person except for us.
But I can be certain that Huo Qingfeng is definitely there, watching our every move from somewhere we can't see.
Now that Zhang Qing'an, Xiao Pang, and Yuan Kong are all injured, if anyone else loses their fighting ability, then this fight can't continue.
"If all else fails, let's blow the whistle and call for help. Right now, Huo Qingfeng has us completely under his control," Brother Gu said quickly.
"Who could get here so quickly? It's too late!" the slovenly Taoist priest added.
"It seems that Master Li is not far from here..." Chi Lang suddenly said.
"That's too late. It's hundreds of miles away, and Li Banxian doesn't have Kasang's ability to escape into the void. Even if he gets here, it will be the next morning." I sighed helplessly.
"Let's take it one step at a time. Anyway, things have come to this. We have to break through the last key point of the formation," the slovenly Taoist priest said again.
I responded and led everyone toward the location of the last array eye. As we walked, I said to the slovenly Taoist priest, "Old Luo, prepare the Eastern Emperor Bell. If we really can't handle it, activate the Eastern Emperor Bell to cover everyone. Also, notify Li Banxian to come and help. He can come the next morning."
I had prepared for the worst, but I couldn't predict what Huo Qingfeng would do next.
