Chapter 75 Three Talents Crimson Sun Formation
Seeing that Liu Zhaohan was powerless to resist, Bai Gu Sanren also lost his desire to play around.
He formed a hand seal, and a giant spider appeared out of thin air. It was taller than a person, jet black, and had eight blood-red compound eyes on its head. It was one of the Hundred Gu Sages' natal Gu, the Soul-Devouring Poison Spider.
As soon as the Soul-Devouring Poison Spider appeared, it pounced on the weakened Liu Zhaohan as if it were starving, spitting out a sticky spider web that covered her head.
Liu Zhaohan's eyes twitched. She could see how troublesome the spider web was. Once trapped, one would probably become meat on a chopping board.
However, the venomous spider was incredibly fast, giving her no chance to react. Just as Liu Zhaohan was about to be captured and perish, a furious roar came from afar:
"You evil Taoist! Stop harming my imperial sister!"
Immediately afterwards, a golden seal enveloped in righteous energy suddenly attacked Bai Gu Sanren.
Three powerful auras rushed into the ruins of the villa. It was none other than the King of Qixia Kingdom, Liu Zhaoyuan, and his left and right protectors, Liu Xuan and Liu Qing, who arrived just in time!
Bai Gu Sanren's expression changed slightly, clearly not expecting Liu Zhaoyuan and the others to arrive so quickly.
The golden seal grew taller in the wind, transforming into a small, crimson-gold mountain, and crashed down from the sky, carrying a powerful aura of righteousness.
"boom--!"
A deafening explosion erupted in the courtyard, and the violent shockwave completely flattened the dilapidated villa.
However, a hand suddenly emerged from the shockwave, holding a natal elephant shell gu, no bigger than a fist, in its palm. The natural patterns on its shell lit up, actually holding up the golden seal and preventing it from falling.
Above Bai Gu Sanren's head, three clusters of ghostly fire floated, their flickering light reflecting the mocking look on his face.
"King Liu, you pride yourself on being righteous, how come you've also learned to use sneak attacks?"
Liu Zhaoyuan's face was ashen. Seeing his younger sister injured, he was filled with rage. Yet, his own furious attack had failed to harm Bai Gu Sanren in the slightest.
"Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, Pseudo-Core Realm?!" Liu Xuan beside him exclaimed in shock, his expression becoming extremely solemn.
Liu Zhaoyuan made a decisive decision without the slightest hesitation: "Deploy the Three Talents Crimson Sun Formation!"
Before he finished speaking, his figure had already floated back. The two protectors understood and moved to the left and right. The three of them immediately occupied the three positions of Heaven, Earth and Man.
The three of them moved their hand seals in unison, unleashing their magical power without reservation, which transformed into three crimson pillars of fire that shot into the sky.
In an instant, the pillars of fire connected to form a huge triangular fire cage, engulfing the Hundred Poisons Hermit who had just withstood the attack of the treasure seal.
At this moment, Zhou Li was slowly navigating the flying boat to a distant mountain peak. Still feeling uneasy, he turned to Yang Yang and said:
"Yangyang, take my spirit pet and retreat two miles away. I will then approach again via telepathy."
Yangyang blankly took the ant from Zhou Li's hand, her eyes wide, and said, "Senior brother, you've entrusted your spirit pet to me... Are you making your final arrangements?"
Zhou Li was taken aback by her question and waved his hand, saying, "Stop being silly. This battle is no small matter. Both sides are probably still hiding their trump cards. We must be careful." He paused and then added, "If things look bad, don't worry about me. You take my spirit pet and escape first."
Zhou Li's face was solemn, but in his heart he was thinking: You must protect my true body; this human body is not so important.
Upon seeing this, Yangyang was filled with respect: "Senior brother is truly a man of deep feeling, caring for his spirit pet so much. Rest assured, as long as I, Yangyang, have a breath left, I will protect it!"
Having said that, she said no more and turned to walk quickly away towards the other side of the ridge.
At this moment, Liu Zhaohan had broken free from the sticky spider silk, helped Liu Xixi up, and joined Zhou Li together.
"Xixi, did that villain do anything to you?" Liu Zhaohan asked with concern.
Liu Xixi shook her head, her face full of worry, and said, "This villain has already condensed a fake core; how could His Majesty possibly be a match for him..."
Liu Zhaohan comforted him, saying, "This Three Talents Crimson Sun Formation is a superior battle formation. Once the formation is complete, those inside it are as if they are in a furnace. Even if they are a realm higher than those in the formation, they may not necessarily come out on top, let alone the fact that this Hundred Gu Hermit is just a fake elixir cultivator."
She then glanced at Zhou Li and said, "Besides, with disciples of the upper sect here, we can surely bring this Hundred Gu Hermit to justice."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xixi immediately bowed gracefully to Zhou Li: "Greetings, Your Excellency! I am not afraid of death, I only beg Your Excellency to save my aunt and save Qixia Kingdom!"
Zhou Li stepped forward to help Liu Xixi up and said, "Princess Xiyue, what are you saying? Things may still be turning around. Let's not waste any more time. You two should quickly sit down and meditate to regulate your breathing."
After saying that, Zhou Li looked at the battlefield. He did not join the battle, but calmly observed the battlefield.
Although the Gu worms controlled by the Hundred Gu Hermit are varied, they are not very intelligent and mostly attack based on instinct. As long as King Liu stabilizes the battle lines and becomes familiar with the Hundred Gu Hermit's attack patterns, he can counter them and deal with the situation.
Currently, Liu Zhaoyuan occupies the "Heaven" position in the Three Talents Formation, using the power of the Imperial Seal to launch attacks; while the two guardians occupy the "Earth" and "Human" positions respectively, mainly responsible for defense, constantly moving around to provide support, ensuring that the Three Talents Formation can firmly lock down the Hundred Gu Scatterers.
The three Foundation Establishment stage mana forces were perfectly integrated through the Three Talents Formation, their auras becoming one, barely managing to withstand the attack of the Hundred Poisons Hermit.
The Three Talents Crimson Sun Formation focuses on "trapping" and "refining". It gathers the power of three fire cultivators to build a barrier and uses true fire to refine the enemy in the formation until their magic power is exhausted.
Inside the formation, Bai Gu Sanren felt the gradually increasing pressure and the constant assault of true fire around him, and finally put away his previous contempt.
Faced with the well-coordinated and balanced attack of the group, Bai Gu Sanren's gray eyes blazed with murderous intent.
"Dead trees come back to life, and fireflies dance on decaying grass!"
He slapped his chest, and pure Yin Wood True Essence surged forth. At the same time, he opened his sleeve, and a golden mantis over ten feet long emerged from it, heading straight for the array wall—his third natal Gu.
At this moment, Bai Gu Sanren unleashed all three of his natal Gu, emanating a dense aura of death. This aura entangled with the true energy of Liu Zhaoyuan and the other two, causing chaos and confusion in the area. Neither side could gain the upper hand over the other.
Bai Gu Sanren's gaze behind his mask grew increasingly gloomy. He hadn't expected the formation formed by these three to be so troublesome. Although his cultivation level was higher, Liu Zhaoyuan's blazing fire elemental true energy had a certain restraining effect on his withered wood poison technique. His top priority was to break the formation.
Liu Zhaoyuan and the other two were also awestruck. The Pseudo-Core Realm was indeed extraordinary. If it weren't for the combined power of the Three Talents Formation, no one could probably defeat him in a one-on-one fight.
Just then, the mantis blade, which had been wielding a sword like a waterfall, struck the array wall with tremendous force, causing the entire array to tremble violently. The two guardians turned pale and immediately used their magic to stabilize the array wall.
Taking this chance to catch his breath, Bai Gu Sanren quickly commanded the Spirit-Devouring Poison Spiders to harass the two protectors and help him break the formation.
Simultaneously controlling three natal Gu worms is extremely taxing on Bai Gu Sanren. He must break the formation as soon as possible, otherwise he will surely be worn down and die in the prolonged battle.
Seeing that the two protectors were struggling and the formation was on the verge of collapse, the formation suddenly solidified, and a force of recoil slammed into the Golden Knife Mantis. The mantis let out a painful screech, clearly having suffered a loss in the previous collision.
The battle was tense, and none of the people in the arena noticed anything unusual. They simply thought that the Golden Blade Mantis's training was lacking. However, this did not escape the notice of Zhou Li, who was observing carefully from outside the formation.
He clearly saw that it was Liu Zhaoyuan who activated his magic power, sending down several streams of fire-elemental true energy to merge into the formation, which was enough to suppress the Golden Blade Mantis's arm blades.
Zhou Li frowned in thought: "This King Liu seems to be holding back. Is he worried that Bai Gu Sanren has other accomplices, or is he trying to hide his true strength from me?"
Bai Gu Sanren's expression grew increasingly grim. The refining power of the Three Talents Formation was like boiling a frog in lukewarm water; though not fatal, it was steadily draining his strength.
A flash of madness and determination crossed his eyes. He suddenly bit his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of blood, muttering to himself as if he were muttering something.
At first, no one paid any attention, but as the entire earth began to tremble violently, Liu Zhaoyuan exclaimed in horror, "Damn it! He's going to detonate the underground Yin Veins! He's already set a trap!"
The voice of Bai Gu Sanren was filled with intense hatred: "That's right! Liu Zhaoyuan, my Nine Yin Nine Fiends Disintegration Array was designed specifically for you!"
