Chapter 180 – Night Capture (1)
A ray of light descended from the southwest and a surging aura surged towards Blacksmith Zhang and Shi Nansheng like a stormy wave. The two of their faces immediately changed.
“Who is it?” Blacksmith Zhang’s shout was like a clap of thunder in the clear sky, shocking almost half of the people in Xishan Village who were sleeping soundly.
As the light faded away, a middle-aged cultivator, Einherjar Wannabe, stood high above the two of them with his hands behind his back, looking down on them with undisguised disdain in his eyes.
“Controlling auras in the air, this is a late stage martial arts realm technique!” Shi Nansheng said bitterly.
Blacksmith Zhang’s expression was also ugly, but he still took a step forward and asked: “Someone from Sirius Gate?”
The middle-aged man laughed and said, “Since you know, then you don’t have to waste time. Your village has already been investigated and found out that the villagers are very rich, so I’m sure that the village’s warehouses are also very full. So, do you want to obediently hand the things over, or personally go and get them?”
Blacksmith Zhang and Shi Nansheng’s expressions were ugly to the extreme, they never thought that they would meet with sucerrible situation. Not only was the person here a late stage martial arts realm cultivator, his cultivation had also reached the fifth stage, and the Qi Condensation stage in his dantian.
Yang Junshan had confidently said that the formation he had set up could trap all the cultivators at the late stage of the martial arts realm, but now, the enemy was a cultivator with a cultivation at the peak of the late stage of the martial arts realm. Blacksmith Zhang and Shi Nansheng were naturally even more depressed.
Seeing that the Blacksmith Zhang and Shi Nansheng were obviously afraid, he could not help but laugh out loud. Then, with a cruel look on his face, he said: “The joke has been passed on, in truth, regardless of whether you are willing to surrender or not, only death awaits you. Hehe, I am just trying to find the thing myself.”
Blacksmith Zhang and Shi Nansheng’s face changed, they watched as the cultivator extended his hand out, and a few white lights condensed above them. Raising their heads, they saw that the white lights had already turned into ice swords that pierced towards the two.
The two of them simultaneously used their magic tools to resist, but a yellow screen suddenly appeared in front of them. Not only did it cover the ice swords that had fallen from the sky, it also covered their tracks.
“Formation!”
A cry of alarm came from the cultivator, followed by a shrill scream that pierced the sky. Following that was a loud explosion in midair, and even the yellow light barrier that rose from the ground started to sway like water.
The yellow light barrier that originally covered Blacksmith Zhang and Shi Nansheng slowly started to fade. The previously aloof and proud cultivator had now landed on the ground, while the middle grade magic tool that was hovering above his head was currently swaying.
At this moment, the two of them realized that their Spiritual Sense had returned to normal. The cultivator in front of them started to look around in bewilderment. Even when he looked at the two of them, he didn’t seem to see them.
In the other direction, Yang Tiangang stood there, his chest constantly moving up and down. His face was constantly flashing with a green and red color.
It was obvious that when Yang Tiangang used the power of the array to launch a sneak attack and clash with the cultivator, he was met with the cultivator’s attack, but the result was that the cultivator fell from the sky into the array and Yang Tiangang’s own spirit energy was in turmoil, and he did not have the power to attack for the moment.
At this moment, the mid quality magic tool hovering over the cultivator’s head suddenly appeared below his feet. The cultivator once again stepped onto it and soared into the sky, attempting to break free from the formation’s restraints.
Spirit energy was being poured into the magic item. Layers of spirit light bloomed on the magic item beneath his feet. However, just as the cultivator moved, layers of magnetic light were also sweeping through the area, extinguishing the spirit energy that was blooming on the magic item.
That cultivator was shaking on top of the magic treasure. He was unable to take another step forward and was unable to break free from the restriction of the formation.
Blacksmith Zhang and Shi Nansheng were still in a daze, when they saw a door of light suddenly open in the air beside them. Yang Junshan walked out of the door and roared at the two: “If the two of you still don’t act, he’s going to break free from the formation!”
As Yang Junshan spoke, the two of them saw that both of their feet continuously moved up and down on the ground. Furthermore, they were walking in different directions, and each step they took sent out a strange vibration.
The two of them immediately understood that Yang Junshan was currently using his full power to control the array formation on the ground, and from the looks of it, the cultivator from before was unable to fly, so it was clear that Yang Junshan’s array formation was able to affect even cultivators at the peak of the martial arts realm. Blacksmith Zhang and Shi Nansheng immediately gained some confidence, and they also knew that it was useless to be afraid of battle.
Without waiting for the two to make a move, another whistle sounded, and the two looked over to see that Xu Sanniang had already rushed over. Furthermore, as soon as she appeared, he had already activated her own magical equipment, directly attacking towards the man.
The two of them could clearly see that when Xu Sanniang’s magic tool got within the array more than a hundred feet from the cultivator, the cultivator suddenly sensed it, and it was extremely chaotic. Even though she blocked the attack in a rush, she could still see the fear in the person’s face, which was evident that Xu Sanniang’s magic tool had not even been noticed by him when it came to attack.
When the formation opened, their Spiritual Awareness had been suppressed. Right now, their Spiritual Awareness was no longer affected. However, the Spiritual Awareness of the trapped cultivator was still restricted by the formation.
The Blacksmith Zhang did not say anything further and immediately smashed the hammer down on the cultivator’s head. Indeed, when the hammer landed on the cultivator’s head, he saw that the cultivator seemed to have sensed it and quickly used his spirit weapon to defend himself. However, the hammer continued to smash down, causing a huge dent to appear in the air.
Bang! With a loud noise, the Blacksmith Zhang and the person’s cultivation level was far from each other, even though they had taken the initiative at the array formation, the hammer had flown back after one strike, and the Blacksmith Zhang himself had been pushed back. The spirit energy in his body was in turmoil, and he had experienced the same feeling as Yang Tiangang previously.
Although the power of his Ink Jade Ru Yi was not as strong as the Blacksmith Zhang’s Middle Ranked Spirit Equipment, his own cultivation was not weaker than Blacksmith Zhang’s. Although this attack was still neutralized by the cultivator, but after three consecutive attacks, the cultivator was clearly aware of the situation he was in.
The white mist beneath his feet suddenly spread outwards, and the ground that was swept by the white mist was covered with a layer of frost. Yang Junshan could clearly feel that a wave of dense, cold energy was invading the ground, and it was obvious that it was trying to freeze the operation of the formation.
Although his method was not wrong, but to find the node of the formation that Yang Junshan had set up within the radius of a few hundred meters, was equivalent to looking for a needle in a haystack. Even if he managed to get it, it would take a lot of effort.
Yang Junshan stepped onto the node of an array and the magnetic light Great Formation activated again. Another magnetic light swept across and took away a bit of the spirit essence from the cultivator’s body.
This person had clearly realized the strange effects of the magnetic light, he was currently trying his best to restrain the spirit essence in his body, so as to prevent the spirit essence in his body from being exhausted, he was worthy of being a cultivator at the peak of the martial arts realm.
But as long as he was still controlling the magical equipment and using the sacred art, with the spirit essence flowing in his body, Yang Junshan was confident that he could use the magnetic light to weaken his strength.
The way the cultivator used the frost mist to try to freeze the array obviously shocked Yang Tiangang and the others who were attacking from all directions. The reason they were able to gain the upper hand in the battle was because of the magnetic light array beneath their feet.
Just then, the people surrounding the array all started to attack, the first to attack was An Xia, but he did not attack the cultivator, but used an enchanted tool to create a gust of wind, attempting to dissipate the frost mist and dispel the power of the cultivator’s technique.
Unexpectedly, the person suddenly moved, and used An Xia’s magical equipment to try and find his location, in shock, An Xia wanted to dodge, but Yang Junshan’s magnetic light Great Formation was not only able to suppress the spiritual awareness of the cultivator, even his vision would be distorted by the magnetic light, and the direction that person took at the beginning of the first two steps was right, but he had already turned around and returned to his previous position.
This caused the surrounding people to be even more relieved, Yang Tiangang had already recovered by now, the High quality magical equipment was controlling the energy of heaven and earth to attack once again. Although Yang Tiangang’s cultivation was not as strong as his, the quality of the magical equipment was still superior, and with Yang Tiangang’s attack, he quickly felt the pressure.
The man had no choice but to try to dodge, but the moment the High quality magical equipment smashed down, it turned into a clematis, causing the ground that was frozen by the frost mist to instantly split open. At the same time, a force entered his body from the ground, attempting to disintegrate the spirit essence in his body.
Although the person was forced into a corner,’s attack had first dissolved the icy mist on the ground, and then attacked him, causing him to be even more certain that his previous technique wahreat to the array, which made the people outside the array all anxious to break his technique.
At the same time, Blacksmith Zhang and Xu Sanniang made their moves one after the other. The two middle-ranked magic tools attacked together, surrounding and attacking together.
But right at this moment, Yang Junshan sensed through the formation that although this person was besieged by everyone in an exceptionally sorry state, he was accumulating a vast amount of energy within his body.
It was at this time that Shi Nansheng’s Ink Jade Ru Yi suddenly grabbed onto a weak point of that person, and after dodging the protection of his magic tool, he took advantage of the others attacking him, and smashed onto his shoulder.
Even though that person had the protection of the spiritual qi from his dantian, this strike still made a cracking sound on that person’s shoulder. Clearly, his shoulder blade had been broken.
Even Shi Nansheng did not expect himself to be able to injure a cultivator at the peak of the martial arts realm. However, right at this moment, Yang Junshan’s surprised shout came from the formation, “Be careful!”
