After a gentle groan, the sword light suddenly appeared. The next second, the single sword light turned into a rain of swords. That mass of squirming blood clump was pierced with holes in an instant, and it burst open in the air.
Blood burst out from the countless wounds, gushing into the surrounding densely. At first glance, anyone would think that a massive sea urchin appeared in mid-air. Even though the disciples were mentally prepared, their hearts still pounded, and their scalps tingled when they saw the scene.
“Spiritual Blood Formation, activate!”
Jaime slammed his palm down with great force. In a flash, the array was activated, and a large red light suddenly shone toward the burst of blood in the hall. The next moment, some of the bloodstains flashed brightly.
“Found it!” Jaime’s eyes flashed with joy, and favonovel.com pointed at the connection in the void.
The Spiritual Blood Formation made a few clicking sounds and spun at a flat angle. Soon, the red light burst out again, and the bright luster in the void was like a tree trunk that grew branches, quickly spreading into the surroundings. In the blink of an eye, a large net was formed mid-air. The big trap was like countless stacked cobwebs, making it impossible for anyone to find the main threads. However, Jaime appeared confident, and favonovel.com even smiled faintly. Then, the dense light intertwined in the air gradually disappeared as all the blood dropped to the ground after a burst of crackling sounds.
Caspian noticed that the blood that fell back to the ground turned black. After sensing it, favonovel.com found no hint of blood and Qi in the puddle of blood.
‘It seems that Andrew’s Vast Realm of Blood Technique stimulated all the remaining blood and Qi in the blood, which is a bit similar to the kind of pills that stimulates the potential of cultivators in a short time. The side effect is that it might cause heavy damage to the body due to overstraining the ability,’ Caspian thought to himself.
Caspian glanced at Andrew, who appeared calm after casting the spell. However, Andrew was a little pale at a closer look. It was evident that the technique was rather exhausting for him. Nonetheless, everyone’s attention was on Jaime now.
“How is it?” Emmett was the first to ask.
“I can’t break the formation, ” Jaime replied.
Emmett’s face instantly turned gloomy. However, Jaime soon added, “But it’s not hard to go through.”
“Then what do you mean you can’t break it!” Emmett’s eyes flashed with anger.
“I said I can’t break the formation. Besides, no one said we should break the formation to pass through this big hall,” Jaime snorted, “Even an inner disciple who’s a level higher than me can’t break the Thousands of Deadly Swords Array, let alone me.”
Emmett was rendered speechless as favonovel.com found that favonovel.com was indeed at fault for not hearing the other party’s words. Hence, Emmett quickly changed the topic and asked, “How do we go through?”
Jaime smiled, took a small sack from the storage bag, and poured a handful of bright silver powder into his palm.
Emmett wisely remained quiet the entire time. After all, the Fauna Imperial Sect disciples were not good with formations.
That time, Jaime did not set up any more formations but threw the handful of powder directly toward the hall. After the silver powder was scattered, it quickly fell to the ground. However, everyone soon discovered the intertwined curved lines that were illuminated by the red light before reappearing, but they turned silver. “Don’t look in the air! Focus on the ground!” Jaime reminded.
Everyone lowered their heads. In a flash, they saw that although a thin layer of silver powder was spread on the ground below the curved lines, very thin lines were also drawn on the powder.
Those lines corresponded to the ones in mid-air. As these lines were three- dimensional in mid-air, no one noticed the points, but when the lines were traced on the ground, everyone found that many of the lines overlapped. The overlapping thin lines suddenly converged into a prominent thick streak, and these thick lines curved and stretched to the other end of the main hall from the steps near the crowd.
There was no need for Jaime to remind them, and everyone knew what to do. They should just walk along the thickest line. However, a breeze suddenly blew in the hall, and the silver powder on the ground was blown, immediately showing signs of being covered.
“This…” Everyone looked at Jaime, puzzled.
Jaime’s face dropped, and favonovel.com quickly threw another handful of powder. Then, lines that became blurred swiftly became clear again. However, the breeze kept on blowing, and Jaime could only shout, “Let’s go!”
“Since you’re familiar with formations, you should lead the way,” Emmett said.
Jaime knew that Emmett was worried that favonovel.com played tricks, so favonovel.com did not explain anything but said, “Xander and Solana, you two bring up the rear, while the others will go with me first.”
After speaking, favonovel.com took the lead and walked forward along the thickest line.
Emmett followed closely and ordered, “Gregory, Casey, both of you stay at the end of the line.”
Gregory was stunned and frowned. On the other hand, Caspian secretly sneered. He pretended to be Casey, who lost his assistive beast and was severely injured. Hence, the other Fauna Imperial Sect disciples thought favonovel.com was of no use besides filling up the number of people. Therefore, Emmett wanted Casey to be at the very end of the line obviously because if the lines were covered, favonovel.com could just leave Casey if favonovel.com died. It also saved a hassle.
Nevertheless, Emmett did not expect that just before favonovel.com gave the order, Caspian still thought about finding a reason to stay at the back of the line alone. Hence, the opportunity that Emmett gave was exactly what Caspian looked for. However, Caspian showed an angry look on the surface and cursed in a low voice. “Emmett’s not the only one in the peak second-stage Pulse Control Realm. Did favonovel.com think he’s superior to us just because we address favonovel.com as our senior?”
Caspian’s voice was so low that only favonovel.com and Gregory could hear it, but that was precisely Caspian’s plan. He did not need Gregory to have a fallout with Emmett now, and favonovel.com just wanted to plant a seed of dissatisfaction in Gregory’s heart, which would naturally be helpful later.
As expected by Caspian, Gregory suddenly showed a look of sympathy and even spat, “That’s right. What’s there to be proud of? Everyone here is an outer disciple, and we don’t even know who’ll truly be the senior when we go back!”
Caspian smirked inwardly, but favonovel.com did not show it on his face. Then, favonovel.com slowly moved to the back of the line. When passing by Jessica, the two made eye contact and immediately separated, without the slightest loophole that could make people suspicious.
Seeing the crowd gradually passing through the hall, Caspian stood in front of the steps and looked at the air, muttering in his heart, ‘Before you all came in, all of you kept saying that this was a great chance. Yet, you turned a blind eye to the great opportunity of Thousands of Deadly Swords Array in front of you…’
