543: Thunder takes action!

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and a bold idea gradually formed in his mind:

"What if..."

This thought, like a seed, took root in his heart, instantly energizing him as he began to ponder its possibilities... Meanwhile, in Shi Chenghua's room, Yang Yuansi's face was ashen, his forehead covered in large beads of sweat that constantly streamed down his cheeks, making him look extremely fatigued.

This was due to the continuous days of making Formation Plates, which had excessively drained his mental energy.

He looked at the fourth Half-Immortal Rank Formation Plate he had just finished carving, finally letting out a sigh of relief, a weak smile appearing on his lips as he softly called out:

"Old Qu..."

Qu Hongkai, who was originally in deep meditation, immediately opened his eyes upon hearing the voice and sensing Yang Yuansi's weakened aura.

When he saw Yang Yuansi's appearance, his heart tightened, and with a flash, he appeared beside Yang Yuansi, supporting him, his voice filled with anxiety:

"Old Yang, how did you get into such a state? Let me see... Damn! How did your mental energy get so severely depleted?!"

Yang Yuansi weakly patted Qu Hongkai's arm, saying feebly:

"Stop talking nonsense, quick... quickly help me heal..."

Qu Hongkai dared not delay, immediately taking out a bottle of Medicinal Pills exuding a rich fragrance from his Storage Pouch. These were Half-Immortal Rank 'Soul Condensing Pills' specifically for nourishing mental energy, extremely precious.

He poured out three Medicinal Pills, carefully placed them into Yang Yuansi's mouth, then sat cross-legged, placing his hands on Yang Yuansi's back. The Cultivation within his body surged into Yang Yuansi's body like a tide, helping him refine the power of the Medicinal Pills and alleviate the depletion of his mental energy.

"Seriously!" Qu Hongkai complained while transmitting his Cultivation:

"Is a mere One-Source Supreme really worth you trying so hard? Why do you have to torment yourself? If you weren't so hesitant, Lu Hao would probably already be our prisoner!"

Yang Yuansi closed his eyes, feeling the gradually recovering strength and mental energy within his body, and did not retort.

He knew that Qu Hongkai's complaints were out of concern for him. But this time, he had to be fully prepared; he absolutely could not allow Lu Hao any chance to escape!

He was determined to get all the treasures on Lu Hao!

With Qu Hongkai's help, Yang Yuansi meditated for three hours, his pale face finally regaining color, and his depleted mental energy gradually stabilized.

When he opened his eyes, his fingertips brushed over the three Half-Immortal Rank Formation Plates on the table!

They were named, respectively:

"Dragon-Trapping Sky-Locking Formation!" It glowed with golden patterns, like golden giant Dragons, lifelike, constantly coiling and winding!

"Extinction Sky Burning Formation!" Dark red flames swirled around it; the dark red flames seemed capable of devouring everything in the world, and as they slowly burned, even space felt a slight distortion!

"Myriad Souls Devouring Heart Formation!" was enveloped in wisps of black Qi, each pattern seeming to breathe out terrifying power that could tear through the Void Realm.

"Old Yang, you've finally recovered. You really are something, carving three Half-Immortal Rank Formation Plates at once, too much!"

Qu Hongkai caressed the Half-Immortal long blade at his waist, the Taotie (Taotie) pattern on the scabbard slightly hot from the surging spiritual energy:

"Three Half-Immortal Formation Plates against a One-Source Supreme is a bit of overkill. With this display, plus the two of us working together, we could even kill some Three-Source Supremes!"

"Lu Hao being able to produce so many Half-Immortal Artifacts means he must have obtained some unexpected, world-shaking Opportunity, plus the unusual glow on my Nine-Pattern Mirror, I am certain he is not just an ordinary One-Source Supreme!"

Yang Yuansi picked up a Formation Plate, his fingertip's essence blood seeping into the groove, and the activated formation patterns instantly lit up:

"So, to ensure absolute certainty, we must use our strongest killing moves to seal all his escape routes. If we're not careful and he gets away, that would be troublesome!"

"Besides, with so many treasures, paying this price is well worth it."

The two said no more. Yang Yuansi hid the Formation Plates in his sleeves, waist, and boots, respectively.

Qu Hongkai gripped the hilt of his long blade, a faint Dragon roar echoing from the blade itself.

It was noon, and the Wuji Pavilion was bathed in scorching sunlight. Disciples were either practicing swordsmanship in the martial arts arena or in secluded Cultivation in their Immortal Cave.

In a cool room within the Bamboo Forest, Lu Hao sat cross-legged on a recliner by the window, resting with his eyes closed. There was no trace of Cultivation aura on his body, only a faint, leisurely aroma of burning incense surrounding him.

The two concealed all their auras and slowly walked to the red line outside the Bamboo Forest!

This was the warning line of the Wuji Pavilion; stepping into it could potentially cause unnecessary trouble.

However, a mere dozen li was but an instant to cross for Yang Yuansi and Qu Hongkai!

The two pretended to wander aimlessly outside until Lu Hao fell into a deep sleep. They exchanged glances, both seeing the perfect moment to strike!

"Now!"

Yang Yuansi suddenly shot out from beyond the red line, appearing before Lu Hao in an instant!

His right hand, without hesitation, directly threw out the "Dragon-Trapping Sky-Locking Formation" Formation Plate.

The Formation Plate exploded with golden light in mid-air, transforming into a hundred-zhang-diameter light wheel. Countless golden chains, as thick as arms, shot out from the light wheel like a rainstorm, coiling around Lu Hao's body. Where the chains passed, even the air was twisted into a piercing shriek.

At the same time, Qu Hongkai leaped into the air, and the oppressive power of a Three-Source Supreme erupted!

His long blade cleaved out a ten-foot-wide blade light. The blade light, imbued with endless power and sharpness, actually tore through the Void Realm, appearing before Lu Hao in the next instant!

From the looks of it, in just another moment, this blade light would directly sever Lu Hao's head!

This sudden turn of events instantly shattered the tranquility of the Wuji Pavilion.

Inside the Hunyuan Pagoda, the Cultivating crowd's expressions changed, then they suddenly rose, their figures transforming into streaks of light that appeared outside!

As soon as they emerged, they felt an endless oppressive force!

The first to appear, naturally, was the Demonic Thought, who had the highest Cultivation. Even with his Ascension Peak Cultivation, he instantly found it unbearable, directly falling to the ground.

He had only just reached the Ascension Peak, not even counting as a One-Source Supreme, but merely an ordinary Supreme.

Demonic Thought gritted his teeth and roared:

"This... what's going on? What Cultivation do these two have?!"

Next to emerge was Mu Siyuan. He looked at the golden chains and blade light in the air, his face changing drastically:

"No! Someone is ambushing Revered Master!"

He immediately activated his Cultivation and rushed forward, but very quickly, Qu Hongkai's oppressive power surged towards him like a tide.
