Chapter 1088 - 1086: Not Bad
"Bang!"
The gunshot rang out, piercing through the open space. The bullet headed straight for Xia Lalan’s shoulder. He had no intention to kill, just to intimidate Xia Lalan and the children, to prevent them from catching up to them.
"Swish!"
Xia Lalan had never encountered guns in the Secular World, but as a martial arts expert, her instincts were still sharp. At the instant before the gunshot, she sensed the other’s killing intent and immediately dodged the pistol’s assault. Having evaded the attack, Xia Lalan’s face turned ashen as she glared at Li San, who had fired the shot, her heart brimming with fury. Had she not felt the imminent danger of death at the very moment the pistol fired, she would have certainly been gravely injured today!
How is this possible!
Damn it, not even a scratch from the bullet!
My god, are these... are these even humans?
...
Hearing the gunshot, Brother Beard’s henchmen all reacted. They remembered they also had guns. Following the direction of the gunshot and seeing Xia Lalan standing unharmed, they were all stunned, looking at her as if they had seen a ghost, unable to comprehend how Xia Lalan could have dodged a bullet!
They didn’t think the pistol-wielding Li San would miss. Li San was originally a marksman, never missing a shot within fifty meters, which is why Brother Beard entrusted him with the gun. Yet, now that he didn’t hit the target, they were confounded... What exactly happened, how could this have occurred...
We’ve... we’ve seen a ghost!
Just like the others, Li San was also flabbergasted. He couldn’t believe Xia Lalan was unharmed. At this distance, he could hit the target even with his eyes closed. Earlier, seeing how formidable Xia Lalan was, he wanted to stop her to allow them to escape quickly. Yet, Xia Lalan remained unscathed, and he just couldn’t wrap his head around what had happened.
What kind of sorcery is this!
The children stared at the weapon in Li San’s hand, equally stunned, realizing that there could be such formidable weapons in the Secular World, instilling deep fear within them. This weapon was too powerful; if it were against them, they wouldn’t have been able to dodge. If this guy were to shoot again, they would be in real danger!
With this thought, all the children erupted, channeling their spells and doubling their speed instantly. They hadn’t taken these people from the Secular World seriously at first, but now they were truly alarmed!
The sudden outburst astonished the henchmen, leaving them frozen in place like wooden statues, unable to believe that a group of kids could suddenly appear right before them, surpassing their speed beyond imagination!
The children now emitted an intense murderous aura, their intent to kill these people now arose, instilling a different kind of fear into the assailants’ hearts. They felt a bone-chilling coldness as if they had fallen into an ice cellar!
"Don’t kill them, a lesson will suffice!" Experiencing the children’s rise to murder, Xia Lalan immediately shouted out, afraid that the children might kill these people. Killing would surely bring trouble; she was well aware of what police were in the Secular World, managing affairs of homicide. Killing wasn’t permitted casually in the Hidden World, and even less so in the Secular World.
The children, having been about to take down these bad guys, retracted their fearsome aura upon hearing Xia Lalan’s words. Xia Lalan said not to kill, but to teach these people a lesson! As long as they didn’t kill the bad guys, that was the end of it!
With that in mind, the children began to make their move...
"Ah..."
"Oh my god, help!"
"What’s happening, such bad luck!"
...
In moments, cries of agony rose again. The remaining assailants were easily subdued by the children in an instant — the kids could even slay Demon Beasts, handling these people was a piece of cake, as long as they were careful about them shooting.
After the children ceased their attack, those on the ground were no longer in one piece; some had broken legs, others had broken arms. Li San, who was armed, had received special attention from the children — both his hands and feet were broken, and his pistol was collected by Xia Lalan.
This... this...
Brother Beard and a few of his men were about to disembark from a nearby boat, only to witness Xia Lalan leading the children to an overwhelming victory. In the blink of an eye, his elite henchmen were defeated without even a chance to fire their guns. Instantly, he stood frozen like a wooden chicken, filled with fear! Not only Brother Beard, but his henchmen too began to tremble, utterly frightened. If they rushed forward, their fate would no doubt be even more miserable than that of the others.
"F**k! Turn around, run!"
Brother Beard couldn’t bear the fear in his heart, and quickly cursed angrily, signaling the boat to quickly turn back, or they would still be taken care of, he definitely didn’t want to be beaten up again. His gaze toward Xia Lalan and the children was even more terrified, wishing he could flee immediately...
But just at this moment, the sound of police sirens arose from the side, it turned out that the tourists who saw Brother Beard and others chasing, reported the police fearing that Xia Lalan and the children might be in trouble.
Hearing the piercing sound of police sirens, Xia Lalan immediately realized they had been discovered, and hurriedly led the children into the forest, disappearing in the blink of an eye; she didn’t want to get into trouble at this time. Meanwhile, the police, following the sounds of screams, saw the pitiful state of the people on the ground and broke into cold sweats, not understanding what had happened before...
...
Inside an ordinary little villa in the northern mountains of Tianhai, another event was unfolding, where Gu Shengwu, who had been seriously injured by Lin Feng, was lashing out at some people!
"Don’t look for excuses now, I can tell you that the spiritual energy carries the ancient aura, such spiritual energy cannot dissipate, nor can it suddenly vanish. Search, search for me immediately! I don’t need any reasons, just find out for me!"
Gu Shengwu was scolding the people below; he heard them say that the spiritual energy had suddenly disappeared, and that many loose cultivators had left Tianhai, thinking that the matter was over, which made him extremely furious. He knew that the spiritual energy surrounding Tianhai was imbued with ancient aura, the emergence of such spiritual energy always meant something significant was about to happen, and it could not just disappear casually.
His master had told him about this when he was sent here; unless something happened, he must keep waiting here, not missing any opportunity. This chance was too tempting for him, and he could not afford any mishaps.
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
...
Seeing Gu Shengwu flare up like this, his subordinates immediately responded. After they spoke, they vanished from the room, and according to Gu Shengwu’s orders, continued to search for news.
After these people left, Gu Shengwu and an old man who looked somewhat aged but was quite spirited started to discuss.
"Elder Wufang, what’s your take on this matter?"
"I can’t grasp any clues either, but what those subordinates said is true, some loose cultivators have left."
"What do the loose cultivators think about this incident?"
"There are various conjectures, but most of them believe that the change in spiritual energy is likely due to a change in location!"
"Elder Wufang, those loose cultivators don’t know the situation, don’t we know? This time, it’s very likely that the Immortal’s legacy hall will emerge, do you think this is possible?"
"I also find it unlikely, but the sudden disappearance of spiritual energy, no one can explain."
"This is indeed a bit strange, I also can’t find any clues."
...
Gu Shengwu and a person called Elder Wufang, began to speculate about various issues in the room, while also trying to figure out why the spiritual energy disappeared, but no matter how much they discussed, they couldn’t make sense of it. However, they were certain of one thing: the sudden disappearance of the spiritual energy was definitely problematic and likely man-made. They both held the same view, no matter what, they wouldn’t let anyone enter the Immortal’s legacy hall first to obtain the unimaginable treasures within...
Lin Feng stood on a tree with a slight smile on his face; this side’s formation had already been set up, and he had also perfected some of the finer details. It could be said that once this formation was a success, even a strong being like the Old Monster would not be able to discern the hidden mysteries of this area without specific knowledge.
"Not too bad."
Looking around the area, Lin Feng muttered to himself with satisfaction, under the influence of the dense ancient spiritual energy, this region within the array had undergone earth-shattering changes, all plants were enhanced, and even some insects living there had undergone special changes, and all of this was attributed to the Heaven Profound Spirit Immortal Formation for gathering all this spiritual energy.
Fortunately, this area wasn’t too large, nor were the requirements too demanding. It was only necessary to construct the Heaven Profound Spirit Immortal Formation, the Nine Directions Heavenly Maze Formation, and the God-Annihilating Death Formation, a triple array. Otherwise, if other formations were required, Lin Feng would have been in trouble, because just after setting up these three formations, all the formation-setting tools he had accumulated in the Hidden World had been depleted. If he had to set up other formations, he would be powerless, as the saying goes, a clever woman cannot cook without rice.
However, the current triple formation had already achieved his desired effect. In the future, if he had the opportunity and the materials, he could add other formations, as long as he had the materials setting up these formations would still be quite easy, but for now, he could only settle for this.
Casting a glance at the newly built small villa not far from Ding Yi’s villa, a smile appeared on Lin Feng’s face. For the sake of convenience, he directly bought a rather pleasing small villa in Tianhai. Then, using special methods, he divided the villa into several pieces and brought it in using a space ring. Just now, he had assembled the house again using his spare time and also set up the furniture inside. This was to be the new home for him and his wives; always living in the villa of those three old men Ding Yi and the others was somewhat uncomfortable.
Glancing at the setting sun that was nearly gone, Lin Feng’s figure drifted down from the tree, smiled, and then vanished on the spot, it was nearly time, he had to go pick up Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei, this was very important to Lin Feng, he still had to discuss some matters with the two women in the evening...
