Chapter 2170 Trap Activated
Chapter 2170: Trap Activated! Chapter 2170: Trap Activated! Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation A pair of skinny hands seized her feet, and the power of a sixth-level Great Void realm expert surged forth as Wei Ying was suddenly yanked into the freezing ground. In the face of danger, Wei Ying did not panic. She ignored her injuries and swung her sword. However, the sound of metal striking metal echoed as a powerful force bounced back against her. Her sword was instantly sent flying. It spun through the air and ultimately lodged itself into the ice. A black-robed old man had also emerged from beneath the ground. The black-robed old man appeared behind Wei Ying in an instant and struck out with his skinny palm. It was too late for Wei Ying to evade, as it was too sudden and too fast. Moreover, he was at his peak, while she was covered in wounds and could only muster half of her strength. Puchi! Wei Ying spat out a mouthful of blood immediately. Her weakened body flew back dozens of meters and finally crashed onto the ground. “Palace Master!” Bai’s eyes were filled with tears. She wanted to rush over to save Wei Ying, but a barrier had suddenly appeared in front of her. She could not take another step forward! What should she do? Wei Ying wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and struggled to stand up. She looked at the old man who had suddenly appeared with a serious expression. “It seems that the Mu Family did not send six people.” “Those six people are just a distraction. Your true opponent is me.” The black-robed old man smirked wickedly. “Little girl, the families of the Divine Kingdom are not as simple as you think. If the Mu Family intends to kill someone, they will split their forces. Your real opponent is me.” “Your cultivation is still too shallow. It’s easy for me to kill you now!” The black-robed old man preferred not to waste words. No sooner had he finished speaking than a black sickle formed from blood energy appeared in his hand. The black scythe resembled the harbinger of death as he charged toward Wei Ying to claim her life. Just as the black sickle was about to slice through Wei Ying, she closed her eyes. “Old man from the Mu Family, I apologize, but I have also hidden my true strength.” “This Freezing Sky Mountain holds an ancient killing formation!” Wei Ying’s blood essence surged forth, igniting the killing formation in an instant. In the realm of heaven and earth, formation cores emerged, emitting dazzling light. Ultimately, they converged into a single point of light, and a thousand-foot-long ice sword descended from the sky! “This is the Ancient Ultimate Sword Formation!” The black-robed elder’s eyes widened in shock. “This is the Juehan Palace’s formation! How can you control it?” A powerful aura surged forth, and Wei Ying smiled. If she wished to become the Palace Master of the Juehan Palace, mere strength would not suffice. She had chosen Freezing Sky Mountain specifically for the incomplete formation the sect left behind here, which was capable of altering the outcome of the battle. If the Mu Family could lay a trap, why could she not? The black-robed old man’s expression turned frantic. With a swift motion of his black sickle, spiritual energy rapidly gathered in his dantian. He ruthlessly swung it toward the ten-thousand-foot ice sword. Moreover, the black-robed old man seized Mu Haidao and hurled him towards the ice sword as well! Bang! A deafening sound reverberated through heaven and earth, and boundless shockwaves tore through the surroundings. The black-robed old man’s body was sent flying on the spot. Wei Ying did not fare much better. She was also caught up within the range of the shockwaves and was affected. Her body was drenched in blood, and she was gravely injured. She lacked the strength to continue the fight. This was her limit! Activating the formation had nearly depleted all of her spiritual energy reserves, She stared into the distance, filled with deep concern. “It should be over.” After all, although this ancient formation was incomplete, it was still powerful enough to slay a Great Void realm expert. The bloody snow falling from the sky grew larger and larger. After an unknown period of time, the dust finally settled. Wei Ying’s calm eyes reflected a hint of surprise. The black-robed old man was covered in blood. He had lost an arm, yet he had not perished! At the critical moment, Mu Haidao had sacrificed his life to save the black-robed old man! He was one of the Mu Family’s death servants! The black-robed old man laughed. He took each step toward Wei Ying deliberately. “Little girl, I must concede that I underestimated you.” “Such methods and cultivation at your age are truly remarkable.” “However, you possess no spiritual energy now. You are gravely injured. You are not in a position to attack.” “Even if this formation still had power, you won’t be unable to activate it.” “This time, the Mu Family has triumphed.” “To kill you, my Mu Family has lost numerous Great Void experts. This is truly a significant matter.” “Now, I shall personally send you to your end!” In an instant, the black-robed old man became a blur and appeared in front of Wei Ying. The black scythe seemed to carry a chilling light as it flew toward Wei Ying. His speed did not diminish in the slightest, while Wei Ying remained motionless. Her eyes reflected a sense of loneliness. She might have possessed a secret weapon to block or escape, but the six members of the Mu family and the formation had exhausted all of her spiritual energy, so she could not employ any of her trump cards. It seemed that the Juehan Palace was destined to fall in her hands. She was unwilling, and filled with rage. She felt that she was still too weak, to the point where she was still unable to shake a family from the Divine Kingdom. If this was the case, how could she hope to confront the stronger forces of the Divine Kingdom? Wei Ying closed her eyes and calmly faced death. She recalled the heartwarming memories at Capital City University. She remembered the young man’s silent protection. ‘Ye Chen, I am unable to protect you any longer.’ ‘I hope your life will be as bright as summer flowers!’ ‘Thank you for coming into my life,’ Wei Ying thought to herself. The boundless black light completely enveloped her. However, just as the black sickle was about to deliver the fatal blow to Wei Ying, a demonic shadow of an enormous beast surged forward, and atop the giant beast sat a young man with a cold expression. Ye Chen had arrived! The black light erupted with an overwhelmingly powerful wave and shot skyward. Ye Chen took a step forward and descended rapidly. He fiercely intercepted the attack that was targeting Wei Ying. He clapped his hands and seized the black scythe with incredible strength. The black-robed old man was taken aback. He had never anticipated that someone would charge in now. Could this be the girl’s backup plan? However, when he observed the young man’s cultivation level, he sneered internally. Creation realm? A Creation realm expert believed he could challenge a Great Void realm expert? How ridiculous! Although he did not understand how this young man had breached the barrier he had set up, it mattered little, as the young man would be obliterated by the attack. At that moment, a thunderous roar resounded, “Scarlet Dust Divine Bloodline, full activation!” As soon as he spoke, a blinding light erupted from the young man’s body, reaching towards the heavens, and an ancient shield phantom materialized. The most astonishing part was that nine enormous dragons were actually swimming within the shield phantom. The black sickle came to an abrupt halt, and the young man’s blood energy repelled the black sickle. His hand was bleeding, yet his eyes remained fearless. “I am late.” A magnetic voice suddenly resonated in Wei Ying’s ears. Wei Ying’s tear-filled eyes widened in shock. She had envisioned countless scenarios, but she had never imagined that this young man would appear at the moment of life and death. However, the crucial question remained. How could he confront the Divine Kingdom’s Great Void realm expert?
