66: Chapter 66: Life-or-Death Crisis, Clues

His heart grew slightly anxious, and his expression changed drastically. If he retreated at this moment...

He was afraid the other party would break the Formation in a short time, rendering him completely unable to escape the other party's pursuit.

"Brat, wait for this seat, this seat wants you to die!?" That person sneered, punching toward the light barrier!

Boom!

The entire Formation shook violently, and dense cracks appeared on the light barrier!

One more punch, and it could definitely be broken!

Xiao Yuan's gaze grew slightly cold. He gritted his teeth, a fierce look flashing in his eyes.

"Running away is definitely not an option."

Since it has come to this!

Then he would fight it out!

His heart ached intensely, and both hands waved simultaneously!

Ten streaks of light flew out from his sleeves, all thrown into the Formation!

"Taste this!"

Tier 2 Medium Grade Talisman! Ten of them!

Fireball Talisman, Thunder Explosion Talisman, Gold Blade Talisman... all of them were the most offensive ones!

That person was just raising his fist to smash the second time when he suddenly saw ten Talismans fly in, his expression changing: "Are you crazy?!"

Xiao Yuan was not crazy.

He pinched the hand seal, shouting with all his might:

"Formation——Detonate!"

Boom——!!!

Ten Tier 2 Talismans exploded simultaneously, their power equivalent to the full-strength strike of ten Middle Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators!

And this explosive force became precisely the last straw that broke the camel's back—the Formation, which was already on the verge of collapse, was directly detonated!

Five-colored light exploded, and a terrifying shockwave swept across a radius of a hundred zhang!

Rocks shattered, trees turned to ash, and the ground was forcefully shaved off by three chi!

Xiao Yuan was blown away by the shockwave, slamming heavily into a large tree and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

But he could not care about the pain. He was on high alert, driving his spiritual power to the limit, his gaze locked tightly onto the center of the explosion.

The smoke and dust gradually dispersed.

In the center of the explosion, a figure stood swaying.

That person was charred black all over, his clothes long since blown away, his flesh flipped open, and half of his face was gone, revealing ghastly white bones.

His left arm was severed at the elbow, and his right leg was also crippled. The whole person looked like an evil ghost crawling out from Hell.

But he was still alive!

"Little... bastard..." That person let out a beast-like roar, his single eye filled with madness, "I am going to kill you... kill you..."

He staggered toward Xiao Yuan. Although his injuries were extremely severe, that Aura of Peak Foundation Establishment was still terrifying!

Xiao Yuan's expression changed. He urged his spiritual power and met him with his sword in hand.

Take advantage of his illness to take his life. At this moment, the opponent's state might be the best opportunity to kill him.

The two fought together!

Deploying the Gale Shadow-Chasing Movement Technique, Xiao Yuan transformed into a cyan streak of light, circling around that person.

Driving the Gale Shadow-Chasing Sword Art to the limit, as the sword radiance flickered in and out, he specifically targeted the wounds!

Although that person had a high Realm, his injuries were too heavy, and his movements had slowed down a lot.

With a single palm strike, the palm wind swept past, and Xiao Yuan had already drifted three zhang away; turning around, he thrust out another sword, adding a new gash to his body.

"Ah——!" That person roared repeatedly, yet he could not catch Xiao Yuan, who was as slippery as an eel, no matter what.

After fighting for more than a dozen rounds, the wounds on that person's body grew more and more numerous, and his breath grew weaker and weaker.

He knew clearly in his heart—if this dragged on any longer, he would really be worn to death by this brat!

"Brat, you are lucky today!" That person forced Xiao Yuan back with a palm strike and turned to run!

That speed was as fast as a black lightning bolt, disappearing into the night in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Yuan chased out a few steps, then suddenly stopped.

Chase?

Chase my ass!

Although that fellow was heavily injured, he was still at Peak Foundation Establishment. Driven to desperation and launching a dying counterattack, he himself no longer had a Formation to protect him!

"Let him run if he ran..." Xiao Yuan panted, sitting heavily on the ground, "Life is important, life is important."

After catching his breath a few times, he quickly scrambled up and ran back to the explosion site.

The ground was in complete disarray, filled everywhere with charred craters and shattered trees. The air was permeated with a pungent, scorched stench.

Xiao Yuan squatted down and began rummaging through the ruins.

"Formation Flag! My Formation Flags!"

He dug out the first Formation Flag—only half of it remained, the flag surface was burned away, and the flagpole was charred black.

"My precious Formation..." His heart ached so much it twitched.

He dug out the second one—only half of it remained as well.

The third, the fourth... all twelve Formation Flags were blown to pieces, and even the most complete one only had a third left.

Holding these pieces of junk, Xiao Yuan was on the verge of tears without crying.

"Damn it... A set of Tier 2 Medium Grade Formation... just gone like that..."

He tried to piece the two broken flagpoles together, but with a crack sound, they broke into two sections again.

"..."

Forget it, he would store them away first. Who knows, maybe the creation cauldron could repair them?

He put all the fragments into the Creation Cauldron Space and started looking for other things in the ruins.

Where were the corpses of those two people?

Xiao Yuan remembered clearly—that Middle Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator had sucked dry his two companions, and those two had turned into withered bones scattered all over the ground.

But now, apart from some charred bone slag on the ground, there was nothing else.

"Where is the Storage Pouch?" Xiao Yuan panicked, "Where is such a big Storage Pouch?!"

He lay on the ground, rummaging inch by inch.

After searching for a long time, he finally dug out a palm-sized token from a patch of scorched earth.

The token was made of bronze, with the three characters "Prince Rongs Mansion" engraved on the front, and complex cloud patterns on the back.

Xiao Yuan's expression changed slightly.

"Prince Rongs Mansion?"

The largest forces in the Imperial Capital of Jing, besides the royal family, were several imperial princes. This Prince Rong was said to be the biological younger brother of the current emperor, with towering power and influence.

The backing behind the Yinsha Cult was Prince Rongs Mansion?

Then the person who escaped...

The more Xiao Yuan thought about it, the more alarmed he became.

He continued searching and, next to the token, picked up another Jade Slip.

The Jade Slip was intact and surprisingly had not been blown up. Clearly, the Storage Pouch had blocked the attack for the Jade Slip; the pouch was destroyed, but the Jade Slip was kept intact.

As for other things, they were probably completely destroyed along with the explosive power!

Xiao Yuan's Divine Sense probed inside!

"Yinsha Demonic Technique" Complete Edition!

From initiation to Peak Foundation Establishment, the complete set of Cultivation Technique!

"Damn it!" Xiao Yuan's eyes lit up, "Is this the Cultivation Technique bestowed by that old Devil Head to his subordinates?"

He scanned it roughly, and the more he read, the more alarmed he became.

This Cultivation Technique was indeed sinister—absorbing Yinsha Qi and living beings' essence blood to Cultivate made progress extremely fast. However, the person who cultivated it would become increasingly bloodthirsty, eventually completely degenerating into a Devil Head that only knew how to slaughter.

"Heretical technique!" Xiao Yuan muttered, while nimbly putting the Jade Slip away into the Creation Cauldron Space with his hands.

Care whether it was heretical or not, he would keep it first. Who knows, maybe it would be useful in the future?

He wandered around the ruins a few more times, and only after confirming there was nothing else did he stop.

A pang of regret arose in his heart. He had originally thought that on the Yinsha Sect Leader, there should be the Pill Formula for the earth-grade foundation establishment pill.

But who would have thought such a situation would occur? Even if there was a Pill Formula, it was probably destroyed in the explosion just now!

Now that the Yinsha Sect Leader was dead, where else could he go to get a foundation establishment pill Pill Formula?! This was what he needed most right now.

Although the Sect had a foundation establishment pill Pill Formula, he had to be able to get his hands on it.

Moreover, he had a hunch that this earth-grade foundation establishment pill Pill Formula might be the foundation establishment pill Pill Formula needed by his trash Spiritual Root!

Standing at the explosion site, Xiao Yuan looked around.

Scorched earth, broken trees, severed limbs, bone slag...

And the faint howls of Yao Beasts coming from the distance.

He turned around and walked limping toward the direction of the Imperial Capital.

After walking a few steps, he stopped again and looked back.

"Prince Rongs Mansion..."

He narrowed his eyes.

Since a trace of a clue had been found, perhaps going to investigate this Prince Rongs Mansion would yield unexpected gains!

The earth-grade foundation establishment pill, he absolutely could not give up!
