Chapter 085 We can't just sit here and wait to die!
The prospect of a major battle between two Foundation Establishment cultivators in the courtyard caused Shen Bai and Shen Wenwen's expressions to change drastically, prompting them to immediately activate their defensive formations to their maximum potential.
Shen Bai had Shen Wenwen sit next to the array plate, and that once the mid-grade spirit stones in the array plate were exhausted, he would immediately replace them with new mid-grade spirit stones.
A battle of this magnitude would definitely impact the protective array. Fortunately, the second-tier protective array can withstand the attacks of Foundation Establishment cultivators. As long as these two cultivators don't continue attacking the house, there shouldn't be any major problems.
Moreover, both of these great cultivators are clearly at their limit, and now it's just a matter of testing everyone's resources.
Shen Bai took out a communication talisman, wanting to contact Deng Zhi or Du Haiyang, but found that the talisman could no longer connect to the outside world.
The formation set up by Gan Sanlang can isolate information from both the inside and outside worlds, as well as prevent outsiders from spying on it. It is not something that Shen Bai, a martial artist at the Innate Realm, can break.
The reputation of cultivators on the Eastern Island is extremely bad. Compared to them, beast cultivators are a little better, as they only refine the bloodlines of demonic beasts. There are also more evil blood cultivators who specialize in refining the bloodlines of their own kind and surnames, just to find that trace of divinity inherited from the gods.
In their quest to revert to their ancestral ways, the cultivators of the Eastern Island are capable of anything.
Shen Bai didn't know how Tang Xinyue had taken the essence blood from Gan Sanlang, but he knew that the situation today was one of no return.
If Tang Xinyue dies, Gan Sanlang's next targets will definitely be himself and his sister.
Shen Bai thought for a moment, then suddenly opened the door, pulled Tang Xinyue, who was leaning against the door, into the room, and then quickly closed the door.
"you……"
Tang Xinyue was only putting on a brave face when she was caught off guard and was pulled into the house by Shen Bai. She stumbled and fell to the ground.
"Don't speak, quickly take the healing pills to restore your strength! This is a second-tier magic array; he won't be able to break through it for a while."
Upon hearing this, Tang Xinyue immediately took out the pills from her storage ring and began to take them. At first, she thought there was a middle-aged man in the room, but she did not expect that there were two siblings, and they looked like they were just students. This made her feel extremely urgent.
"We must not let them suffer even the slightest harm!"
"In order to save me, they have been exposed to Gan Sanlang's watchful eye; they are implicated because of me!"
"I still owe him three hundred spirit stones! Wait, why am I suddenly thinking of that now?"
……
Shen Bai walked to the window and looked out. He saw Gan Sanlang frantically bombarding his house with his tongue in a fit of rage. But he never expected that such a small house would be equipped with a second-order protective array.
It's still the top-tier second-order protective array.
He had just been confidently declaring that no one would come to save Tang Xinyue even if she screamed until her throat was hoarse, but in the blink of an eye, she was rescued by the homeowner right under his nose. How could he possibly tolerate this?
However, no matter how many whip-like shadows he flicked with his tongue, the house's defensive array blocked all his attacks.
Shen Bai watched for a while, and seeing that the other side would not be able to break through the defensive formation in the short term, he finally felt relieved.
Thank you, Lu Yan. Without your attack, our protective array wouldn't have been upgraded to the second tier.
Shen Wenwen cried out, "Shen Bai, if he keeps attacking like this, the mid-grade spirit stone won't last long!"
Shen Bai nodded: "Don't worry, we have plenty of spirit stones in reserve!"
Shen Bai handed all the mid-grade spirit stones that Hu Feier had exchanged for him to Shen Wenwen, and then looked at Tang Xinyue. He saw that her complexion was much better than before, and he was slightly relieved.
"We can't just sit here and wait to die!"
Shen Bai was never the kind of person to leave his fate to others. He rushed into his workshop, took out his tools and spiritual materials from his storage ring, and his mind began to race.
Shen Bai was already quite confident that he could successfully ambush ordinary cultivators in the early to mid-stages of Qi Refining using a combination of grenades and Desert Eagles.
Xuan Nie, the Jade Screen Mountain Tribulation Cultivator, and the Black Tiger Cat are all cautionary tales.
As long as you find the right opportunity, it's not impossible to defeat enemies of higher ranks.
However, facing a Foundation Establishment cultivator made him feel uncertain.
At this point, the formation itself is no longer important; lethality is the top priority!
Firepower is justice!
Shen Bai thought for a moment. There was no time to make firearms, so he could only use powerful bombs! He took out a piece of thousand-refined steel and began to quickly inscribe an explosive array on it, layering it up one layer after another.
……
Gan Sanlang attacked in a fit of rage for a while, but seeing that he could not break through the tortoise shell, he had no choice but to suspend his attack and take out some pills to regulate his breathing.
He dared not treat his injuries with the same intensity as Tang Xinyue, because he needed to be wary of the people inside the house suddenly coming out to ambush him, but he also had to find a way to restore his spiritual power. Otherwise, with the balance of power shifting, Tang Xinyue, once she regained her strength, would definitely be able to turn the tables and kill him.
People inside and outside the house were racing against time to recover their strength. Tang Xinyue's aura was growing stronger, Gan Sanlang's aura was slowly increasing, and Shen Bai was gradually finishing his work.
Half an hour later, Gan Sanlang could no longer wait. Fearing that someone from the Enforcement Hall or the Night Fiend Hall would discover the strange situation, he began shouting into the house.
"Little Yueyue, come out here! You think you're safe hiding in this house? Don't force me to tear it down!"
"No one from your Tang family has come to rescue you yet. It seems the rumors about you being abandoned by your family are true! Why don't you come back to East Island with me? I'm still quite influential there, and I can definitely provide you with the life of a noblewoman!"
"Little one in the house, do you think Tang Xinyue will be grateful just because you saved her? Let me tell you, the Tang family's greatest talent is betrayal. They'll even betray their own people! Otherwise, why hasn't anyone come to save Tang Xinyue yet?"
"Little one, if you hand over Tang Xinyue, I'll give you 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones as a reward. Besides that, I swear I will never harm you!"
……
The protective array of Shen Bai's family can isolate attacks and is also good at blocking sound. However, Gan Sanlang's shouts are not made with his voice, but with an extremely powerful sonic technique—the Soul-Seizing Sound. The protective array cannot completely block these sounds, so the three people in the room were all distracted by Gan Sanlang's voice.
Shen Wenwen was the first to give up, as her cultivation level was the lowest. Shen Bai quickly found some earplugs and plugged their ears, which slightly reduced the interference of the other party's soul-searching sound. However, this was not a long-term solution. If this guy continued like this, he would have no choice but to knock Shen Wenwen unconscious.
After all, the Soul-Seizing Sound is not just a simple sound wave; it also carries a certain degree of spiritual attack.
Tang Xinyue was meditating when the voice disturbed her, almost causing her spiritual energy to spiral out of control. She opened her eyes, looked up at the sky, and roared, "Gan Sanlang, you don't need to waste your breath here. I'll be back to full strength in a quarter of an hour at most. You can just wait outside to die!"
Gan Sanlang was furious. His long tongue transformed into countless whip shadows, lashing wildly at the house. At the same time, he took out all the talismans from his storage ring and smashed them against the house.
For a moment, the second-tier protective array began to sway precariously under such intense attacks.
