#396 - Change the formation
Li Chengfeng had taken stock of all the Whale Shark Pirate members, and a plan was slowly forming in his mind.
Hei Tie respectfully urged, saying, "To achieve the Senior's expectations.
Come with me, and I guarantee to secretly lead you to the boss's lair. Then, you can wipe them out in one fell swoop. With your strength, they are not worth mentioning."
Li Chengfeng did not expose his scheme. Instead, a faint, enigmatic smile hung on his lips, and he said, "Lead the way then."
Hei Tie was overjoyed upon hearing this, secretly calculating: This guy has finally taken the bait. As long as I act according to my plan, I can lure him into the formation and then escape using the formation.
Because only I know the core mechanism in the formation. Once inside, I can use the water flow to escape, and he can be left to the sea beasts for 'hospitality'.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, thinking: "No matter how cunning you are, once you step into the territory of the Whale Shark Pirates, you are doomed."
Li Chengfeng, however, was not anxious, following closely behind, already fully aware of this formation.
This is just a combination of a killing formation and a water formation, a formation constructed with water spiritual power. It is easy to operate, and each water formation has a life gate and a death gate.
Obviously, Hei Tie intended to escape from the life gate, leaving the death gate to Li Chengfeng.
However, Li Chengfeng's research on formations was extremely thorough. Whether it was the microscopic layout or the macroscopic strategy, he was proficient in it.
This mere formation was just a piece of cake to him.
They soon arrived at this sea area filled with a bloody scent.
Hei Tie said, "Senior, follow me. I'll take you on a shortcut, guaranteeing no one will notice."
Li Chengfeng nodded in agreement and then moved towards the direction of the life gate.
Li Chengfeng followed silently. Suddenly, Hei Tie's figure was as swift as a swimming fish, and with a whoosh, he darted towards another direction.
In this water area, the pirates' speed was extraordinary, but Li Chengfeng remained unmoved.
He merely flicked his fingertip, engraving a few runes in the water. Instantly, the life and death gates of the microscopic formation reversed. The reversal of life and death was within his control.
Hei Tie seemed to have stepped into the life gate, but in reality, he had entered the death gate.
He instantly felt an overwhelming force attacking him, involuntarily spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Fortunately, he had not gone in too deep, and he immediately used the Water Escape Technique, suddenly leaning back and darting out with a whoosh.
He widened his eyes and carefully examined, wondering, "This is clearly the life gate, how could this be?"
Looking at Li Chengfeng again, his black robe fluttered, surrounded by water currents, yet not a drop touched him.
Hei Tie was incredulous. According to the power of the formation, even a Core Formation cultivator would find it difficult to cope and would choose to escape, unwilling to waste time here.
Yet what he saw now was that the other party was walking leisurely, calm and composed, and exceptionally free.
He coughed dryly and said awkwardly, "Senior, I'm sorry, I took the wrong path. There seems to be a killing formation ahead. Let's change the route."
Li Chengfeng smiled slightly, understanding everything: "You don't need to act anymore. You deliberately led me here, didn't you, wanting to use the sand formation to get rid of me?
Unfortunately, this formation cannot trap me. What I am best at is formations."
After saying that, he flicked his fingertip, and streams of runes flew out, merging into the water flow. As the water flowed, the entire formation was suddenly activated, and sand and dust rose everywhere, enveloping the surroundings.
Li Chengfeng, however, soared into the air, avoiding all of this.
The water below churned, and the formation built by the Whale Shark Pirates at a huge cost had now become a self-dug prison.
Hei Tie was shocked and dismayed, almost falling into the vortex. He hurriedly stepped onto his flying sword, broke out of the water, and wanted to escape.
However, as soon as he took a few steps, he vomited blood, and a large hole appeared in his chest. A worm was greedily gnawing at his magic power and spiritual power.
In fear, he quickly turned his flying sword and flew towards Li Chengfeng, kneeling on the flying sword, his face pale.
Li Chengfeng stared at him and said slowly, "I originally intended to give you a way out, after all, you led me here.
I have always been a reasonable person. I said I would let you go, and I will not break my word.
Killing you or not killing you makes no difference to me. You cannot pose any threat to me at all. It's just that you are being clever and trying to frame me.
For those who intend to harm me, I have always been ruthless and never show mercy."
At this time, Hei Tie was completely terrified. He never dreamed that the other party had silently planted a worm on him, and that worm was no small matter, it was a second-order creature, and its power was amazing.
How could he be a match? He was just a Qi Refining tenth-level rogue cultivator with a weak foundation, relying only on a ruthless energy and skills to run rampant on the islands of Hailian.
Now, he had finally seen the real big shots and their powerful methods.
Li Chengfeng said no more. With a thought, the worm devoured him completely.
At the same time, a force poured into Li Chengfeng's body, and his lifespan increased by another twenty years.
The reason why Li Chengfeng did not let him go was precisely because he valued the wonderful use of this lifespan.
In this world, many secret techniques require life as the price, and lifespan is the most precious thing among them.
For example, the Heavenly Fate Technique burns lifespan, and so does the Soul 引魂 Technique. Even sacrificing living beings is to obtain lifespan.
Since Li Chengfeng can continuously replenish his lifespan, he will naturally not let go of the opportunity before him.
These three hundred pirates are the targets he wants to kill. In addition to seizing their treasures, their lifespan is also coveted by Li Chengfeng.
In this Xuan Guang Continent, where heroes emerge in troubled times, this will be his training ground for rapid advancement in strength.
The formation here has changed, and the situation has suddenly reversed.
The pirates noticed the abnormality at the first moment, and an unprecedented sense of terror enveloped their hearts.
The formations that were originally united against the outside world and extremely lethal suddenly turned their direction and aimed at themselves.
They watched as the entire water area slowly rotated, the life gate turned into a death gate in an instant, and the situation underwent earth-shattering changes.
The three sea beasts broke free from their control and turned to glare at them, roaring.
Only at this moment did the pirates truly feel the invasion of fear.
Faced with this sudden change, the Second Boss and the Third Boss did not dare to delay at all and immediately ran to the alchemy room to report to the First Boss urgently.
The First Boss, Chen Liang, was at a critical moment in alchemy. He had already set up emergency measures to avoid external interference.
However, the fluctuation of the formation broke this tranquility, and he immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.
If it were not a major change, the Second Boss and the Third Boss would never disturb him at this moment.
As the stone door rumbled open, the First Boss, Chen Liang, walked out with a dusty face. The failure of the alchemy, the sacrifice of many treasures and beast souls, made him angry, and his eyes flashed with killing intent.
"Second Boss, Third Boss, what is so urgent?" he asked in a deep voice.
He was confident that the formation was enough to block all enemies, and even if the other party was a powerful Core Formation cultivator, it would be difficult to stay here for long, let alone cause such a big impact.
"Could it be that an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage has come?" The First Boss, Chen Liang, wondered.
The Second Boss, a fat man with a big head and big ears, replied anxiously: "First Boss, it's not good! Our formation has suddenly changed. The life and death gates have been exchanged, and the sequence is completely messed up.
The entire formation has turned from external defense to internal attack, and we are surrounded by our own formation!"
The First Boss, Chen Liang, heard this, his face changed suddenly, but then he stabilized his mind and said in a deep voice: "What's the panic! I have that treasure in my hand. As long as it's not an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage,
Even if it is a strong Core Formation cultivator, I will kill him without fail. I want to see, what kind of sacred being dares to be so provocative. You don't need to panic."
The Second Boss and the Third Boss heard this and immediately respectfully requested the First Boss to take action.
The reason why they are willing to follow the First Boss is precisely because the secret treasure in his hand can kill powerful enemies, plus the formation that they have spent countless spirit stones and decades of careful arrangement,
It makes them full of confidence. However, today's changes have far exceeded their expectations.
