Episode 136

  "Kong Lao Lao, that puppet Feng Cheng launched a sneak attack on me, but it was unsuccessful. What should I do now?"

  "Thunderous Elder, you summoned me here with urgency, is it just for this reason?"

  Kong Lao Lao Da said with displeasure.

  "No! In my opinion, it transformed into the appearance of Xie Changlao and snuck up on me. If it didn't succeed, it would leave with a flourish, watching calmly. I'm afraid it must have some backing or hidden motives..."

  "Booming Thunder Elder, we are all Small Round Fulfillment cultivators. Although that puppet has been tempered by the Ancient Great Array, it's just a cultivation of the Law Body, what is there to fear? Even if it has an ace up its sleeve, can it do anything to me? You have recently advanced in rank, but your mind is still at the Condensed Awareness stage, you need to be tempered!"

  "This..."

  Ben Lei's face was hidden with anger, but remembering the scene of Xing Lin and Feng Cheng's encounter, he knew that this person could endure, though exhausted and not yielding. He spoke again to Kong Lao:

  "Old Kong is not angry, Feng Cheng this person has great tolerance, definitely not a mediocre person, must be careful! In my humble opinion, we should design a plan to attack his weakness with the strength of our five people, and finish him off in one blow, also to avoid some unpredictable consequences."

  "This man is highly intelligent, if he can set up such a large formation to block us, how could he be so reckless as to launch a surprise attack? His strategy of surprise attack is nothing but to disturb our minds and slow down our speed in breaking the formation. Elder Thunderclap, at this moment, we should focus on one thing only, which is to break his large formation."

  He walked with his long body.

  "Old Man Kong..."

  The thunder roared again, and Kong Lao's figure had already disappeared into the distance, leaving only a sigh that shattered the formation.

  "Little Thunder, you want to plot against me? My family is coming, just wait and see how I'll deal with you."

  Suddenly, a figure emerged with the sound, standing upright in front of him. His tattered clothes barely covered his body, and his long hair was disheveled and tied back to his head. His body was covered in scars, old and new wounds densely packed, looking miserable and showing that he had suffered greatly in the abyss of ten thousand kalpas, an unbearable pain for ordinary people. However, his face was calm and serene, with piercing eyes fixed intently on the thunderbolt.

  "Feng Cheng, you actually dare to appear before me, don't you remember the difficulties of Xinglin?"

  "Haha, Thunderclap, you're just a mad dog fed by the sect, how dare you speak of bravery! My family may have refined our skills, but now I want to take your life, what do you say?"

  "How dare you! I am the Thunderbolt, the proud son of Heaven, a mighty cultivator among the top ten sects. You are just a tiny ant, how dare you be so arrogant!"

  "Haha, let's have a battle then!"

  Bèn Léi gazed at the person's calm demeanor, and suddenly felt a slight chill in his heart, his whole body trembling. Suddenly, he saw Feng Cheng's figure move, and a fist flew out, with thousands of fist shadows whistling through the air. Bèn Léi let out a loud roar, using Xiǎo Yuè Tiān Láng to counterattack. Xiǎo Yuè Tiān Láng was indeed formidable, rising up with a loud crash, filling the sky with wolf shadows that howled upwards, with an overwhelming momentum. The fist shadows in the air collapsed and disintegrated into tiny mist particles that dispersed and vanished. Feng Cheng also disappeared from sight. Bèn Léi held his artifact and stood still, using his divine eyes to search all around to their limits.

  "Ah!"

  A loud shout, a sword light struck towards Ben Lei, Ben Lei was shocked and dodged, counterattacking with a backhand strike.

  "Ah yeah!"

  Feng Cheng's shadow was torn apart, and fresh blood splattered everywhere.

  "A mere illusion, how can it deceive me!"

  The Thunderbolt Operation made the Howling Moon Sky Wolf launch a frenzied attack on all sides, with eerie green lights bursting out of its mouth and striking in all directions. The Howling Moon Sky Wolf was indeed no ordinary creature, and its great reputation was not undeserved. Its attacks were sharp and fierce, and even if it was only one of the Nine Palace Arrays, it could still block and counterattack. At this moment, the space within the array was also trembling violently, and the various arrays and objects inside were gradually becoming distorted, as if they were on the verge of collapse.

  "What a great treasure, it's really extraordinary!"

  Not enough praise for one voice.

  "Hmph! Feng Chengxiao, it turns out you were hiding here all along."

  Bēn Léi àn Dào yī shēng, shuāng mù zhí dìng zhe yī chù shǎn dòng guāng liàng zhī dì qū, màn màn xiàng cǐ dì yí qù, yī biān jiāng fǎ lì wú yǒu gù huài kuáng zhòng zhù rù xiào yuè tiān láng zhī zhōng, nà bǎo qì wēng wēng rán ruò yù xǐng lái. Tū rán, Bēn Léi dà hǒu yī shēng dào:

  Hurry!

  The treasure flew out of his hand, a green light flashed by, and the Thunder God's back was ten feet away, with flames flashing four times. The fierce flames rolled open, and a mournful cry sounded. A dark shadow suddenly scattered like wind blowing thin fog. The Thunder God panted heavily, his face pale, his eyes dull and lost their former sharpness, showing that he had used too much force in this one move, and actually hurt his vitality! At this time, the illusion array also changed greatly, the space inside the array twisted like a hemp flower, and the rumbling sound continued for a moment before gradually calming down. But at this place, a dull blue sky appeared, with dark blue grass and trees, and a small path of charred black earth and stones.

  "Has the illusion been broken?"

  Ben Lei furrowed his brow and muttered to himself in surprise.

  At this time, he was short of breath and hid under a mountain rock, constantly coughing up blood.

  "What a cunning thief! You almost got away with it! You pretended to be friendly, but actually you were trying to kill me. This time you've lost big time, and for at least a year or two, your spiritual energy will be severely damaged. The gap between our levels is truly too great to overcome. That little thief Bao was indeed far inferior to me, like a bird egg against a rock. Luckily my family's array was activated in time, and he was trapped in the Nine Palaces position, otherwise I would have been killed by him! This is a big lesson! From now on, all of you thieves will be dealt with severely, only cleverness will be spared!"

  After thinking for a long time, there was no other way, so he took out the immortal grass and spiritual medicine obtained from the Wan Jie Abyss, let out a long sigh and swallowed it to nourish himself.

  "Alas! The journey is fraught with danger, and even if I manage to obtain some medicinal herbs through hard work and risking my life, they'll just disappear again in an instant. Other cultivators only need to cultivate diligently, why do I have to face so many life-or-death crises?"

  The thunderous operation of the spiritual eye allows for a thorough examination of this new performance's space and all things within it. All objects are no different from real objects, touching them gives a sense of feeling, seeing them gives shape, smelling them gives fragrance. All kinds of images coexist with the true world of images without any difference. However, in the heart of the thunder, there is a faint sense of unease that gradually intensifies.

  "No! I should still be in the Law Array. However, this array seems to be both real and illusory, with a certain perspective, it's hard to discern. It must not be something ordinary."

  After a long and careful search on both sides, nothing was gained, and the thunder of anger arose in his chest.

  "Hmph! Your minor accomplishments in cultivating the Small Perfection of the Law are nothing but the efforts of ants. What can your formation of the law accomplish? Can it compare to my great power, the Small Round and Perfect?"

  He let out a loud shout and urged the Howling Moon Wolf to its full strength, striking the space around him with fierce blows.

  Insufficiently swallowing medicinal herbs, sitting in meditation for a moment, suddenly felt the space where the thunder was located trembling and cracking, so hastily got up and looked back.

  "Ha! Rebel, do you want to force your way through our formation?"

  Insufficient, with a worried heart, I observe for a long time, without frowning. Again, I will fly out of the dust and carefully examine the remaining nine palaces, seeing that everyone is working hard to break through, without any slackness. Then, I sighed and said:

  "They are actually so powerful! Alas, it can't be helped, I have to experience the danger myself. Otherwise, the great formation will be broken, and those five cultivators will come to attack, my life will be over."

  Having no alternative, he once again plunged into the fray. This time it was his true self, and the danger was great, with a risk of losing his life.

  After a long time of fierce attack, I also feel tired, just slightly slow down, suddenly a sense of vigilance arises.

  "How could that puppet Feng Cheng dare to infiltrate and launch a surprise attack? Hmph, this time I will definitely make you disappear without a trace!"

  With a flash of lightning in his mind, he leaned back against a huge boulder, sat down and recovered his strength. His eyes, however, quietly scanned the surroundings, as alert as a hunting dog.

  All sorts of changes in the formation are all within the insufficient chest. He carefully examined it, saw the exhausted thunderbolt and breathed a sigh of relief, with a hint of violent color in his eyes, and coldly smiled:

  "You are a cunning and treacherous thief, your clear eyes hide a murderous intent. This is a case of waiting for an opportunity to strike, suddenly plotting against someone. Can you deceive that person?"

  Insufficient, then the recognition of the divine will be hidden and concealed in the array. He himself pretended to quietly sneak away, intending to launch a surprise attack. Ben Lei coldly smiled, secretly pouring his magical powers into Xiao Yue Tian Lang, waiting for him to make a killing move, exhausting his strength so that he couldn't launch another attack, then striking him down with one blow. At this time, although Ben Lei couldn't release the recognition of the divine, his overall perception had reached an extreme degree. Insufficient observed his cunning as if it were nothing, nor did he feel any great anxiety in his heart. However, being trapped in the large array, he had already lost the initiative of heaven and earth, and with Xie Chang Lao hating him like a thief, refusing to come to his aid, he also lost the advantage of human harmony! The opportunity to annihilate this villain was now nothing but a thread!

  Suddenly, he rose into the air and swung down with all his might a sword in his hand. Suddenly, a loud roar was heard beside his ear:

  "Die!"

  "Ah!"

  "Hmm!"

  A shrill cry of despair echoed out, followed by a dull hum. A person flew up like a withered log, crashing to the ground, leaving a trail of blood splatters along the way.
