Chapter 1216: Disease
Jiang Fengwu arrived alone in front of White Cang Mountain, standing out awkwardly among the cultivators who had already formed teams.
Even those loose cultivators had found teammates ahead of time.
"Fellow Daoist, seeing you by yourself, why not join our team? In the dangerous Secret Realm, we can look out for each other."
At this moment, a female cultivator in a moon-white palace dress approached, saying amiably, "And since we're all female cultivators here, we don't have to worry about any inappropriate behavior."
"I think it's better for the Fellow Daoist to join our team; at least our team is stronger." Another male cultivator came over, also extending an invitation.
"Fellow Daoist might consider joining our Wind Forest Team. You've probably heard that the Wind Forest Team has an excellent reputation and has never engaged in treacherous acts."
Having spent so many years in Kunlun State, Jiang Fengwu naturally needed to do something to make a living; otherwise, she wouldn't even have enough Spirit Stones to rent a Cave Mansion or purchase cultivation resources.
And she was most skilled in Formation; therefore, her reputation as an Array Master had already spread in nearby Immortal Cities.
These cultivators who came to invite her were all attracted by her title of Array Master.
"Thank you for your kind offers, Fellow Daoists, but I am accustomed to acting alone." Naturally, Jiang Fengwu could not join their team, as her main task in entering the Secret Realm was to search for Immortal-grade Spiritual Objects for herself and for the three Spirit Beasts Feng Peng.
This level of Spiritual Object was already very rare, and there would definitely not be many in the Secret Realm. How to distribute them would be a very serious issue then.
Especially as she was still an outsider and needed several sets of Immortal-grade Spiritual Objects.
"Very well, but if you change your mind, our Wind Forest Team will always welcome your join."
"So do we."
The others chimed in.
"Thank you for your kindness, Fellow Daoists; I will remember it well." Jiang Fengwu expressed her gratitude.
After seeing them off, the time for the Secret Realm to open was almost upon them.
Buzz——
The portal to the Secret Realm, suspended in midair, emitted a low hum. Spiritual Light flickered and a crack suddenly appeared in the middle of the portal, enlarging until it completely stabilized a quarter of an hour later.
The White Cang Mountain Secret Realm did not have a Teleportation Array, so it opened automatically once the time arrived, unlike other Secret Realms that required a key to open.
The cultivators, having long been prepared, flew towards the portal. A closer look would reveal that the order of entering the Secret Realm was excellent, with no chaos occurring.
Because Jiang Fengwu was on her own, she entered the Secret Realm just as the portal was about to close.
After a dizzying teleportation, Jiang Fengwu finally stepped onto the ground of the Secret Realm.
But before she could regain her bearings, a flame shot towards her. Fortunately, her Life-bound Magic Treasure activated just in time, instantly deploying a Formation to withstand the sneak attack.
The cultivator, seeing his sneak attack fail and realizing that the opponent's strength seemed above his own, turned and fled without a word.
"Trying to escape? Stay for me!"
Jiang Fengwu's expression darkened as her Life-bound Magic Treasure, the Myriad Array Diagram, shot out, transforming into a Confinement Array that trapped the attacker.
"Spare me! Please, Fellow Daoist, spare me this time. I was momentarily blinded by greed and made the mistake of attacking you." The cultivator begged for mercy, showing no sign of the dignity of a Loose Immortal.
"Ha! You failed the sneak attack. If you'd succeeded, I would either be dead or seriously injured. If I begged you for mercy then, would you have spared me?"
A vicious glint flashed in the cultivator's eye as he shouted, "If you refuse to give me a way out, I'll drag you down with me even in death!"
"With just you?"
Jiang Fengwu sneered, and with a thought, the Formation instantly changed form. An offensive Great Array erupted, with countless cold blades slicing at him from all directions.
The cold blades were incredibly sharp; even with his Defensive Spiritual Light, it dimmed and cracked after just a moment, and a few more blades would completely shatter his defense.
She said those words merely to divert his attention, making it easier for her to change the Formation.
"Ahhh!"
As the Loose Immortal battled the oncoming attack, he never anticipated a white blade appearing from behind, stabbing deeply into his body and piercing through him, causing his momentum to plummet.
"Cough cough..."
He intended to swallow an Immortal Pill to suppress his wounds and heal after escaping. Yet he didn't expect a surge of golden energy to clash with the immortal Qi he had taken, worsening his injuries instead of aiding him, making his body even slower.
"Didn't expect I'd get this lucky."
Jiang Fengwu chuckled softly, seizing the golden opportunity. The Formation fully unleashed, countless blades filled the Formation, merging into nine great swords that slashed at him one after another.
Puff——
Within just four strikes, the defense he had barely maintained shattered again, forcing him to resort to his Life-bound Magic Treasure and employ life-saving techniques in hopes of breaking the Formation.
But in the next instant, the changes in the Formation plunged him into boundless despair, making him deeply regret his earlier sneak attack.
If he had not attacked back then, he wouldn't be in this plight now!
The remaining five great swords transformed into an iron wall of copper mountains, suppressing all directions. The initial offensive array immediately morphed into a Defensive Array.
Clang!
A piercing, sharp sound of metal clashing rang out, extinguishing any hope he had of escaping.
With a bang, a copper mountain hovering in the air slammed down, granting the man an undignified death!
