406: It's time to close the net

The Green Tower People didn't notice anything unusual; they excitedly rushed forward.

However, the moment they stepped into the Formation, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed.

Countless illusions appeared before their eyes, plunging them into a state of confusion.

Li Mu and the others quietly observed, secretly pleased.

This Formation could not only strengthen the concealment of their Qi but also create illusions, causing the Green Tower People to lose their way.

The Green Tower People stumbled around in the illusions, bewildered.

They began to attack each other, even fighting amongst themselves.

It wasn't until the Green Tower Leader appeared and broke the illusion within the Formation that the other Green Tower People gradually regained consciousness, then all looked utterly bewildered as they found their own hammers aimed at their terrifying wives.

His wife's dagger was a hair's breadth from his ear.

"Wife!!!"

"Wotz, you're trying to murder your husband!!"

"What are you looking at? I was just checking if the knife was dull."

"......"

He was speechless; couldn't her perfunctory excuse be a bit more sincere?

If it wasn't dull, did that mean if he died, she'd just go find Old Green next door?

Damn it.

They were still lucky; they were saved by the Green Tower Leader in the nick of time, but many other Green Tower People weren't so fortunate.

There were a total of about 150,000 people who came, but due to the illusion of the Formation, one to two tens of thousands died on the spot.

There were also many injured Green Tower People; one could say they died before even achieving success.

The Green Tower Leader angrily examined the Formation, furious, and let out a roar on the spot.

"Roar."

"You go, find the Formation's core for me, and break this damned Formation."

"Yes, Leader."

Thus, the Green Tower People scurried around like ants unable to find a granary.

Although the place was large enough, it couldn't withstand the sheer number of the Green Tower army.

It nearly turned into a live broadcast of a trampling incident.

Seeing this, the Green Tower Leader knew this wouldn't do, and immediately thought of Ascending into the sky, lest he be trampled by his own foolish subordinates.

The few people accompanying him immediately began to Ascend, but before they had even risen five meters from the ground, they seemed to be suppressed by something, heavily weighed down.

It was as if they had a thousand-pound jack on their heads; they couldn't ascend at all.

The Green Tower Leader's face turned red with anger; the space for Ascension had not increased even a tiny bit.

"Damn it, what kind of Formation is this?"

"It's an illusion, and it restricts flight; could it be the work of the natives?!"

"Go away, go away! If this were the work of natives and even our Leader couldn't handle it, wouldn't we just become their sweet and sour pork?"

"How could it not be..."

"Get out!"

The two who made precise sarcastic remarks were cut off mid-sentence by an angry roar from the Green Tower Leader, who directly sent them flying.

The two instantly fell to the ground like rags, then were trampled a few times by the Green Tower People on the ground.

The two who were sent flying did not get angry; instead, they quickly stood up, dusted themselves off, glanced at the Leader with a sheath-like look, and then joined the team searching for the Formation's core.

The Green Tower Leader stood in place, his brows tightly furrowed, contemplating a countermeasure.

He realized that this Formation was far more complex than they had imagined, and if they didn't quickly find the core and break the Formation, they might face even greater danger.

Just then, a Green Tower Person ran over to report that they had discovered some strange symbols that might be related to the Formation.

The Green Tower Leader's heart rejoiced, and he immediately followed the soldier to investigate.

Just then, Li Mu seized the opportunity and led everyone to act.

"Let's go, let them see what the world is like; next, it's time to send them off."

"Li Mu is right, kill them all."

"What's the rush? Is that really the Formation's core?"

"It's not the core, but the weather's getting hot, and it's time; after we're done, we should go back and eat."

"Understood!"

As they spoke, they gradually revealed their true forms.

Xin Mulan: "Hi, welcome to my world."

After speaking, she flew up and released a Phoenix Power fireball at them; the ground instantly erupted with sparks and the wails and frantic running of ghosts and wolves.

Ke Ming: "Here's a big gift package for you."

Immediately, several swords appeared behind him, then steadily pierced through the crowd, and in a blink of an eye, dozens of people fell dead.

The others also brandished their weapons and joined the crowd.

Each person was killing tens of thousands of Green Tower People alone; if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't even see their figures, only the glint of blades and swords, and the sight of Green Tower People being sent flying.

The battle was exceptionally fierce; Green Tower People continuously surged forward, but everyone moved as if in an uninhabited land, their weapons flying up and down, and wherever they went, enemies fell.

Old Qin's figure was ethereal and unpredictable, moving through the enemy ranks like a phantom; every strike was precise and accurate, taking a life.

Xin Mulan controlled the Phoenix Power, and flames burned fiercely, incinerating the Green Tower People into ashes.

Ke Ming's swordplay was incredibly sharp; every sword strike contained endless power, making it impossible for the enemies to resist.

The others also displayed their respective strengths; for a time, the battlefield was filled with shouts of killing, and blood flowed like rivers.

Under such powerful attacks, the number of Green Tower People rapidly decreased, while the wounds on Xin Mulan and the others increased.

Seeing this, the Green Tower Leader thought, "Not good, we've fallen into a trap."

He looked around and found that the native cultivators who had come were not weak; in fact, there was even a native cultivator whose cultivation was on par with his.

Not to mention there was one whose cultivation even he couldn't discern.

At this moment, he felt a little afraid.

Immediately, he said to the Green Tower People on the ground, "Retreat, retreat, everyone return through the passage..."

Li Mu teleported to the Green Tower Leader's side and instantly gripped his neck.

"What are you screaming about?"

"Your screaming is too unpleasant; it's hurting my ears."

"To avoid disturbing the people, you'd better be quiet!"

After speaking, Li Mu gently squeezed his neck with his left hand, and his head exploded on the spot.

Even as he died, the Green Tower Leader's eyes were wide open, as if he couldn't believe that someone's cultivation could reach such a terrifying level.

In just a blink of an eye, the native had grabbed my neck.

No, not a native.

His cultivation is too terrifying; he's a monster.

However, before he could even beg for mercy or send a message, he was gently twisted by him, and his life ended on the spot.

If he could understand what Li Mu was saying, he would probably vomit blood.

He would definitely think, it would have been better to just escape; he could always recruit subordinates later when he had the chance.

But there's only one life!

Regardless of whether the Green Tower Leader could understand his words, Li Mu would never let him run; whatever he thought was just a thought.

Li Mu floated in mid-air, and with a gentle wave of his palm, the Green Tower Leader's body turned into a blood mist again in the air.

The blood mist diffused in the air slowly fell onto the Green Tower People on the ground.

Some Green Tower People saw with their own eyes how Li Mu so effortlessly killed their Leader.

They instantly went completely insane, rushing straight towards Li Mu.

But they didn't expect to be killed instantly by a wave of Li Mu's hand.

Li Mu saw that Xin Mulan, Ke Ming, Old Qin, and Xu Zheng had fought enough, and it was time to close the net.

"Alright, all of you come out!"

"It's time to close the net."
