At the same time, the entire Cultivation World, including all lower-level cultivators in the Mortal Realm, was paralyzed by a sudden surge of lightning.
In Starlit City, no one was left standing; everyone was in a state of paralysis.
In the Tang family, several high-level cultivators were unaffected. Tang Zun immediately ordered an investigation.
In Maple Whisper Tower, a slightly thin cloaked figure seated in a grand hall sensed the change and commanded his experts to investigate.
The Dao Alliance was thrown into chaos, with the leader, Haitai Ping, personally leading several experts to look into the matter.
Far away, an unparalleled master named Beikun felt the influence from above the Spirit Realm and became ecstatic before vanishing from sight...
The commotion caused by the unknown figure Qian Jinyu left both the Cultivation World and ordinary people in shock!
...
...
...
After about a few minutes, everyone began to recover from their paralysis.
The trio of Swords, Guns, and Sabers were so frightened that their weapons fell to the ground.
Zhao Wentong had already fainted and collapsed.
Ye Xiu staggered toward Zhao Wentong, trying to help him up.
However, no matter how Ye Xiu tried now, he could not summon any spiritual power.
On this side, Qian Jinyu, Zhao Wentong, and Xie Bei had all passed out, leaving only myself awake…
I must ensure their safety.
We cannot stay here for long; just now, the commotion caused by Qian Fatty was too loud. Some nefarious individuals from the Cultivation World will surely find this place!
"You! Do you still want to kill us?" Ye Xiu glared at the two Weapons.
At that moment, Dao picked up his large blade and struggled to rise.
"Now that your companions are here, you won't be going anywhere. We still have to complete our mission, Ye Xiu. Prepare to die!"
With the large blade raised, Dao staggered toward Ye Xiu, who slowly backed away.
It resembled a battle of primitive men, a fight with cold weapons…
"Stop!" Ye Xiu spoke. "Right now, none of us can use spiritual power. Although I may have lost my speed, I am still much faster than you, so save your energy! How about we rest here for a while? Once our spiritual power recovers a bit, we can settle this?"
As Ye Xiu pointed out, the current situation meant that no one could harm anyone else.
For Ye Xiu, the situation was quite unfavorable. He was already at a disadvantage against Swords, Guns, and Sabers; once his spiritual power recovered even slightly, he would be even more outmatched.
However, what Ye Xiu was thinking was that after some time passed, he would unleash the Azure Cloud Formula at his fastest speed and escape with the three unconscious individuals.
Dao agreed, "Alright! Alright!"
Thus, both sides sat down to recuperate.
But on the side of Swords, Guns, and Sabers, the expression on Sword's face was extremely grim. He could not utilize his chaotic spiritual power; his own spiritual energy felt like an invading enemy within him, constantly causing turmoil…
With his eyes closed, Sword Path asked, "What did your child do to my Third Brother?"
Ye Xiu replied, "Hmph. Let us go, and I'll tell you!"
Sword struggled to say, "Big Brother, we can't let them go. Don't worry; I just can't use my spiritual power for now. Give me enough time, and I can recover on my own."
After this statement, both sides fell silent.
About thirty minutes later, the spiritual power of both parties had slightly recovered.
For Ye Xiu, the Azure Cloud Formula required very little spiritual power.
The Knife and Gun stood up first, weapons in hand.
They were the first to launch an attack on Ye Xiu.
However, they did not expect that even with just a bit of recovered spiritual power, Ye Xiu's speed remained incredibly fast.
"Big Brother, hold the formation! I'll keep him busy!" Gun shouted at Knife.
"Understood!"
At this moment, Ye Xiu found himself in a crisis; the Gun was proving to be quite troublesome. The longer he delayed, the more unfavorable it became for him.
Ye Xiu shifted his focus to Knife.
"Stop!!! Your target is me!!!" Gun yelled.
But how could Ye Xiu truly heed the enemy's words?
The spear extended into a six-foot barrier, standing in front of Ye Xiu.
This time, the barrier's momentum was significantly weaker than before. However, even so, Ye Xiu did not dare to recklessly attempt to break through.
Ye Xiu's Master Zuo's Seven Needles had yet to use the second needle, and he had no weapons on hand; the only Silver Needle he had previously used was already embedded in the sword's body.
At that moment, Zhao Wentong, who had been lying down, woke up…
"Ye Xiu!!! They are still setting up the formation!!!" Zhao Wentong shouted.
"I know!" Ye Xiu replied helplessly.
A considerable amount of time had already passed; the formation of the knife should be nearing completion!
"Second brother, I don't have any Yin Talismans left!!! Hurry and give me one…" The knife yelled at the spear.
This dramatic scene almost made the opposing Ye Xiu and the spear laugh out loud. Meanwhile, Zhao Wentong was already laughing…
Once the spear regained its composure, it immediately removed the barrier and returned to the knife's side.
However, Ye Xiu was faster; he quickly caught up with the spear in just a few steps.
At that moment, the spear took out a Yin Talismans and affixed it to the long spear, using all its strength to throw it out.
Seeing this unfavorable situation, Ye Xiu still did not give up on chasing after the long spear.
"Bang…"
The knife caught the long spear in one swift motion and, looking at the rapidly approaching Ye Xiu, leisurely placed the last Yin Talisman onto a circle of Yang Talismans…
Ye Xiu's fist was just half a step away from the knife's head, yet the knife remained calm.
"Soul Binding Formation!"
It was complete!
Suddenly, Ye Xiu's speed became incredibly slow.
The knife easily dodged Ye Xiu's attack and countered with a kick, instantly sending Ye Xiu flying backward.
"Your speed suddenly became so fast... Is this... the power of the formation?" Ye Xiu said, clutching his chest.
"This formation is called Soul Binding Formation, specifically designed to deal with incredibly fast individuals!!! Like you!" the knife replied with a laugh.
At that moment, Zhao Wentong walked into the Soul Binding Formation like a passerby.
Perhaps Zhao Wentong was just an ordinary person without any spiritual power, so Weapons did not notice him.
Ye Xiu forced a smile and said, "Even if my speed is extraordinary, I can't harm you much. I only wish to protect my life and that of my friends. Why must you press us so hard for a mere mission..."
Ye Xiu suddenly spotted Zhao Wentong and understood what he intended to do.
"Our mission is to kill you. If you want to blame someone, blame Tang Zun!"
"So it really is him?" Ye Xiu frowned.
"Oh dear, I slipped up... But it doesn't matter; you are already a dead man!"
Before Weapons could launch an attack, Ye Xiu gathered the last bit of his spiritual power into his hand, aiming his sharp fingers directly at the knife's head...
As Ye Xiu flew towards him, Dao smiled and said, "Don't forget, you're still within the formation..."
When Ye Xiu was just a meter away, Dao clearly saw the smile at the corner of his mouth...
At that moment, Zhao Wentong tore the talisman paper on the ground into pieces...
The formation was broken...
Ye Xiu's speed suddenly became incredibly fast, and he closed the final meter in an instant...
Dao had no time to block or escape; he had no chance left...
Ye Xiu's hand knife was already touching Dao's skin, and in the next second, Dao's brain would splatter everywhere...
However, in the next moment...
Nothing happened...
