“Ah, Brother Tianrui, don’t kid around!” Xue Boren stomped his foot hard. “Let’s quickly leave.”
Even Li Tianyu’s subordinates had fled without any hesitation. If Xue Boren and his companions were to stay, would they not be courting their deaths?
Nonetheless, Ou Yangming smiled calmly and lifted his hand slowly. The formation board in his hand released frightening starry lights.
Xue Boren immediately shut up when he saw the formation board’s lights. He had a fresh memory of entering an Illusion Formation, where the powerless feeling he had almost made him go mad. Therefore, the elder gasped and dared not talk anymore after he saw the formation board.
Even so, he could not help but wonder.
‘This formation board could trap me, but a top-grade spirit beast’s equivalent to a top-grade Spiritualist. In fact, due to a beast’s natural gift, such a beast will be more difficult to go against as compared to an equal-ranked human powerhouse.
‘A formation board that can trap an Advanced Spiritualist might not be able to trap a top-grade spirit beast.’
If Ou Yangming were to fail, the consequence would be unbearable.
Just as Xue Boren was hesitating, Ou Yangming had tossed out the formation boards swiftly and completed the setup.
A peculiar mist instantly spread in the forest, and the environment changed drastically.
Xue Xuanle smiled. This was not her first time experiencing this, and she had more confidence in Ou Yangming than Xue Boren did. Seeing as the formation map changed slowly, she pursed her lips and went behind Ou Yangming quietly. Her mind could not help but sway when she sensed the strong masculinity from the young fellow in front of her.
Next, she blushed right away.
‘It’s so embarrassing that I’m actually thinking about this now.’
Far away, Li Tianyu, who was carried by Qing Juncai to escape, finally took a deep breath but did not struggle at all. Instead, he was obedient like never before and cooperated with the man.
He was domineering but definitely not a fool, where he remembered Li Shaoyuan’s instructions very well.
For instance, he must not offend the Beyond Heaven Pavilion, and he must humble himself in getting acquainted with several reputable clans and forces in the city without bullying them too much, and so on.
The most serious one out of all was that he must listen to Ma Xiuhe and Qing Juncai if they encountered danger in the Forest of Death. He was told not to act as he wished or his life would surely be in danger.
Li Tianyu did not care about the lives of ordinary people, but he treasured his life very much. As such, he did not want to be in danger because of his actions.
At last, Qing Juncai slowed and stopped only when they were far away. The Devil Ape and Ma Xiuhe arrived one after another after a brief moment. As for the other followers, they were still following from behind, but it was difficult for them to catch up to an Advanced Spiritualist.
Li Tianyu asked with a dark face, “What happened to those people?”
Ma Xiuhe answered, “They were the last ones there. I suppose that they don’t know how fearsome the ferocious beast is, so they didn’t look like they’re going to escape.”
He was unaware that it was not that Xue Boren did not know how frightening the beast was, but because Ou Yangming was present and set up a formation. Unless the elder abandoned the young fellow, he would not flee on his own.
“Ah, what a pity.” Li Tianyu could not help but shake his head and sighed when he recalled Xue Xuanle’s beautiful face.
Given his status and identity, it would be easy for him to get a pretty lady. Nevertheless, a gorgeous lady that was also a Spiritualist was hard to come by.
Normally, such a lady would come from a formidable aristocratic family or force. Li Tianyu was backed by a Venerable One, but he could snatch one from those forces without any restraint. Now that he came across a pretty lady, but she was going to be killed by a vicious beast, he was not resigned to the outcome.
Despite that, the fall of an attractive lady was quite a pity, but he valued his life much more.
Li Tianyu made up his mind after some thought. “Let’s go back.”
“Go back?” Ma Xiuhe was stunned. “Young Master, you’re not going to hunt anymore?”
“Hmph, a top-grade beast has already shown up at the periphery, so why are we still waiting here? If we accidentally stumbled upon another one, won’t we be killing ourselves?” Li Tianyu glared at him. “We’ll go back for now. Once the beast kills a bunch of powerhouses and alerts the guards, it won’t be too late for us to go back inside after that.”
Ma Xiuhe and Qing Juncai looked at each other and thought, ‘This is Young Master’s nature indeed.’
The hunt in the Forest of Death was a grand competition, and one could gain significant benefits here. Similarly, endless dangers lurked inside the forest. For example, if one came across a top-grade fierce beast, one would likely be killed.
Li Tianyu had only decided to leave because he wanted to use the beast to get rid of his powerful competitors.
‘Hopefully, before the beast is killed, it’ll help Young Master kill a few more competitors.’
※※※※
Ou Yangming and his companions were naturally unaware of Li Tianyu’s plan. In actuality, although the young fellow was rather concerned about the top-grade savage beast, he did not need to be afraid at all.
The Illusion Formation that he had just set up was a notable formation map that had the Phoenixes’ spiritual world as its base and Qiu Chengwang’s Illusion Formation as its framework.
It would unlikely be able to be used against a Venerable One, but it could easily trap and even kill a top-grade spirit beast.
This was the source of Ou Yangming’s confidence.
“Boom…”
An enormous wind gushed out from deep inside the forest. Wherever it passed, mountain rocks and trees were sucked up and gathered in mid-air.
Inside the formation map, Ou Yangming had revealed the nodes to let Xue Boren and Xue Xuanle see every change. Moreover, through various wonderful tricks, they could also see the countless miscellaneous things that were wrapped up by the massive wind in mid-air.
Ou Yangming frowned and asked, “This is odd—haven’t these beasts lost their wisdom? Why does this know how to attack using its innate ability?”
When he set up the Illusion Formation, he had especially strengthened it to deal with those fellows without wisdom. Even if a top-grade predatory beast were to enter the formation by accident, it would be incredibly difficult for it to get away.
Having said that, the beast that let out a provocative roar did not act rashly. Instead, it attacked from a distance away by transforming its innate ability into a strong wind. This was out of the expectations of Ou Yangming and the others.
Xue Xuanle responded after some thought, “Big Brother Yu, those ferocious beasts might’ve lost their wisdom, but they still have their instincts!”
The elder’s eyes lit up. “That’s right. Your Illusion Formation’s too mighty, and that beast might’ve sensed danger, so it doesn’t dare to come here.”
Ou Yangming nodded. If that was really the case, it might not be easy to fool that top-grade wild beast.
“Woosh, woosh, boom…”
All of a sudden, thunderous sounds were heard coming from the sky.
Everyone looked up and saw that the objects that rose into mid-air due to the tornado crashed toward the Illusion Formation like cannonballs. Judging from the scene, it looked like an indiscriminate attack.
Ou Yangming was dumbfounded, but he scoffed and flicked his fingers.
Following his movement, the whole formation map was initiated. Mists began to surge while all sorts of killing abilities were released one after another to destroy everything that crashed inside the formation.
The formation map’s base was an Illusion Formation, but it was mixed with many other elements, or Ou Yangming would not value it so much.
Eventually, the dense mists inside the formation map grew, but the area behind them seemed to have connected to an unusual world. Regardless of how many objects fell from the sky, they were instantly turned into nothing.
However, Ou Yangming was not excited at all. It was simply wasteful to use the Illusion Formation to deal with miscellaneous items that could be seen everywhere.
“Roar…”
A violent roar was heard, then a giant leopard was vaguely seen in the forest. It stared inside the formation map with blood and cruel eyes.
That said, it was being very careful. It kept going back and first outside the white mists and dared not enter anyhow even though it had a fiercer look in its eyes.
As said by Xue Xuanle, they might not have gained wisdom due to a certain unique reason and could not become Venerable Ones, but their instincts could save them during crucial moments. As at this moment, no matter how the dense mists surged and were somewhat provoking the leopard, it could not bring itself to take the leap.
Ou Yangming frowned. He was surprised by how the beast managed to hold back its desire and not court its death inside the formation map.
‘Now, should I leave the formation map and fight this mighty beast head-on?’
Nonetheless, he gave up the thought right away when he looked at his companions, who were overwhelmed with lingering fear.
If Ou Yangming trapped a top-grade beast with a formation map, other people would only say that his level of attainment in formations could transform nature. If he actually made a move to slaughter the fellow… He would not be able to hide his identity anymore.
Seeing as the giant leopard was pacing outside the formation map, the 3 of them had ghastly looks on their faces.
Xue Boren asked in a deep voice, “Brother Tianrui, are you sure that this formation map can trap that leopard?”
Ou Yangming sighed and answered, “If it can’t trap that fella, it would’ve come inside already.”
Xue Boren’s eyes lit up. “Alright, I’ll lure it inside them. Brother Tianrui, I’ll be counting on you.”
Subsequently, he flashed and dashed toward the giant leopard.
Ou Yangming’s face changed. He looked deeply at the elder’s back view.
Afterward, he saw Xue Boren charged out of the formation map’s protective circle and jumped around the giant leopard to provoke it.
Sure enough, a savage beast was a savage beast. The giant leopard bared its teeth and turned into wind as it zoomed toward Xue Boren. Furthermore, it went inside the formation map…
