304: Mutual means

The hazy sky seemed to blur everything, leaving only faint outlines of the mountains surrounding Great River City, and even these outlines were swallowed by darkness.

But soon, a dazzling light flashed, as if a brilliant, scorching sun had risen into the high sky, casting golden-red light across the land, illuminating the surroundings brightly.

Ye Chun, holding a long spear, raised an eyebrow and unleashed a water Dragon towards the great sun, but it was blocked by a surging bolt of thunder.

The surrounding darkness gradually dissipated, and the great sun hung high, slowly moving, as countless golden-red rays began to target Ye Chun.

The next moment, the sun fell.

All the light instantly converged, impossible to look at directly, then in the blink of an eye, it landed on the ground, followed by a concentrated explosion.

The surging, dazzling golden-red light, as if the world was being created, completely shattered the entire Great River City.

Amidst the light, Ye Chun, holding Tian Chi Ling, leaped out and fled rapidly into the distance.

The light of the explosion followed closely, continuously spreading, and soon extended hundreds of miles without stopping.

All the darkness along the way was enveloped by light, and after the explosion, it transformed into bottomless craters, and all living beings disappeared with it.

And the dazzling light continued to pursue Ye Chun relentlessly.

Ye Chun knew in his heart that such a powerful method must be a combat-type Natal Divine Ability, most likely a Fifth-Grade one.

Fortunately, the sky was dim and the great sun was obscured, so that person could only create an artificial sun; otherwise, if he had borrowed the power of the true great sun, he would probably have been killed in one blow.

'I am in the open, he is in the dark; I don't even know who he is...'

Ye Chun frowned. In the chaotic battle, he had witnessed too many methods, each more ruthless than the last, and now, finally, indiscriminate area-of-effect killing methods had appeared.

At this moment, swift bolts of lightning jumped to his side, and the flickering figure seemed to transform into three thousand different Clones, eventually all converging into a thunder-wrapped fist that fiercely struck him.

Ye Chun's strength had declined after continuous battles, and he was finally hit, immediately being sent flying.

The next moment, the first mountain peak shattered, then the second, the third... until he had flown over a hundred miles, Ye Chun finally managed to dissipate the force of that punch, his face turning extremely pale.

He had sustained no minor injuries.

Lightning Flash was covered in electric light from head to toe, moving at extreme speed. Accompanied by the surging sound of thunder and lightning, he instantly appeared beside Ye Chun and reached out to grab Tian Chi Ling.

At this moment, his body suddenly stiffened, and his entire spiritual power almost dissipated. He looked to the side with some disbelief.

He didn't know when, but layers of green mist had appeared beside him. It possessed potent toxicity, capable of piercing through the defenses of a Golden Core Cultivator and directly seeping into Lightning Flash's body.

Lightning Flash's expression changed, and he quickly flashed away, preparing to heal his injuries.

"Wen Xinghai..."

He called out.

Indeed, he saw a figure not far away; it was Wen Xinghai, wearing a red robe with raindrop patterns, the captain of the Red Rain team, known for his strategizing and command.

Wen Xinghai said with a smile, "Golden Core methods aren't just about brute force and speed, you know."

As the poisonous Qi spread, Lightning Flash could only dodge. Ye Chun was also not feeling well; his strength began to decline, and his spiritual power was difficult to mobilize.

Wen Xinghai reached out to grab Tian Chi Ling.

Just then, a golden Flying Sword shot over, carrying an unbelievably sharp edge.

Clang!

The next moment, a glowing longsword flashed out, and a handsome young man leaped forth, happily looking at the golden Flying Sword.

"Flying Sword? Let me, the Sword Saint, have a go at you!"

Shao Kaitian of the Red Rain team was incredibly fast. As he shouted, he actually discovered the golden flower wielding the Flying Sword and immediately became entangled in a fight with him.

Wen Xinghai continued to reach for Tian Chi Ling.

However, the next moment, Ye Chun and Tian Chi Ling's figures flickered, and they actually vanished.

In the distance, under the veil of night, Ye Chun and Tian Chi Ling reappeared, falling onto the Great Desert.

A series of severe injuries, coupled with poisoning, finally caused Ye Chun to fall unconscious, losing all sensation.

A Golden Core player in a white robe curved his lips into a smile.

"These professional players only focus on combat power, how laughable. Where is the true strength of a Golden Core? I only need to set up a Formation in advance, find an Opportunity to cut in, and I can claim the spoils of war, letting them fight it out among themselves!"

Xiao Buyu laughed heartily.

As a player specializing in Formations, he once only wanted to profit from Formations and be protected by others to obtain a stable cultivation environment.

But after Yan Xiao took him to search for the Empress, he witnessed a player die violently from trying to calculate the Empress's location.

From then on, Xiao Buyu knew that even a life profession could not gain a foothold in the Xuanhuan World without some cultivation.

He sought Opportunities, accumulated resources, reopened and replaced his Golden Finger, and finally achieved a Breakthrough to Golden Core.

To go a step further, he also set his sights on the Fourth-Grade Natal Divine Power.

Compared to professional players, Xiao Buyu's combat power was weaker, with almost no certainty of winning.

Therefore, he chose to leverage his strength as a Formation Master, preparing a portable teleportation Formation in advance, with Formation Flags ready to be deployed, specifically waiting for Ye Chun to lose his combat power.

Now, he successfully seized the Opportunity, taking Ye Chun directly out of the Great River City area and bringing him to the Western Great Desert. Even a Golden Core's Spiritual Sense could not easily find him, and naturally, it was impossible to catch up immediately.

Golden Core Cultivators could not utilize the void, and without preparing teleportation methods in advance, it would be impossible to come and take Ye Chun and Tian Chi Ling away again.

"Haha, the Fourth-Grade Natal Divine Power is mine!"

Xiao Buyu was about to grab Tian Chi Ling.

Suddenly, a Flying Dagger shot over, hitting his palm and immediately causing him to turn pale with shock.

How is this possible? Someone followed me?

He quickly retreated, looking at the newcomer in surprise.

The person wore a rather handsome Daoist robe, its long sleeves gently swaying in the Great Desert wind, appearing hazy in the night, looking mysterious and somewhat unfathomable.

"Xiao Buyu, that you would bring Ye Chun here is something I had calculated long ago."

Little Wang Flying Dagger smiled triumphantly.

As a Golden Core level diviner, although he still didn't dare to calculate Nascent Soul, calculating a Golden Core was not difficult.

He had long calculated that Xiao Buyu and Ye Chun would land in the Great Desert, so he ambushed them in advance, and indeed, he managed to pick up a bargain.

Xiao Buyu was initially fearful, but he quickly calmed down, a smile curving his lips. He abruptly waved out Formation Flags, streaks of light flashed, and then transformed into a boundless killing Formation.

"Idiot, you calculated the landing spot, but didn't you calculate the difference in strength between us? You, a mere diviner, actually dare to challenge me, a Formation Master, to a one-on-one fight?"

The Formation Flags swayed, and the killing Formation was complete. Obscure runes connected via spiritual power chains, confining Little Wang Flying Dagger in the center. Flying Swords gradually took shape, instantly striking towards Little Wang Flying Dagger!

Facing the attack of a Golden Core level killing Formation, an ordinary diviner would surely be terrified and have to find a way to escape.

But Little Wang Flying Dagger laughed: "Guess why I dared to come alone? Of course, I have something to rely on!"
