"Chirp, chirp, chirp!" Goumang looked as if his scheme had succeeded. His wings immediately swept over with a strong gust of wind. Even a perfected Foundation Establishment expert would not be able to withstand the might of his wings, much less an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Ziyu was completely stunned, her mind blank as she watched the wings get closer and closer. A weird thought popped up in her head, "Is this the feeling of death?"
"What are you talking about!" Lingshan's voice sounded in her head as she jumped out of the formation and stood in front of her without hesitation.
"How old are you? You want to die already? It's too early! "Chentian appeared in front of her as well.
"Yeah!" Yu Bing was the same. At this point, the only ones who could react in time were the three of them, who were at the peak of the early stage of foundation establishment.
"All of you …" Ziyu felt her nose go sour. She knew very well that this was all her fault, and even if she died, it was her own fault. But now, Lingshan and the other two were standing behind her without hesitation! There was only one result to this, trading a life for a life, three lives for one life for hers!
Without the formation, Lingshan and the other two wouldn't be able to survive Goumang's attacks even if they worked together. At the end of the day, they were only foundation establishment practitioners.
Goumang saw this and changed his target from Ziyu to Lingshan and the other two. Everyone here was his prey, it was just changing the way he ate them.
However, at this moment, an extremely powerful bone-chilling cold erupted from behind him, accompanied by a cold voice, "Ice Prison Mirror, shatter!"
One and a half months after the competition, she didn't do anything else. Even if she was already at foundation perfection, even if she had the supreme golden core Lin Yi gave her, she didn't have the slightest intention of forcefully breaking through to the golden core stage. After all, she had just become a legend in the competition, breaking through to the golden core stage would only deplete her reserves. Even if she succeeded, she'd just fade into the crowd.
Leng Leng, naturally, wouldn't do something stupid like that, and so she only did one thing- that was to train her trump card, Prison Drawing. Of course, she also had an even stronger skill, Ice Prison Mirror Break!
The Ice Prison Mirror shattered. Even Duanmu Yu, who had unleashed his full strength back then, could not withstand it. Naturally, it was the same for the Goumang in front of him. He collapsed on the spot, becoming a human-faced, bird-bodied ice sculpture.
Lingshan and the others looked at each other, their eyes filled with fear and relief. If Leng Leng didn't do it in time, they'd all become Goumang's food!
On the other side, Lin Yi was facing Goumang alone. Unexpectedly, he wasn't able to kill it instantly. This Goumang was very cunning. It basically never attacked with its full strength. It would always move around to restrain Lin Yi, and its speed was extremely fast. Lin Yi couldn't finish it off with the Five Elements Murderous Aura. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let Coold and the others fall into such a dangerous and bitter battle.
"This guy is a little troublesome!" Lin Yi couldn't help but frown. Although this Goumang's strength wasn't at the level of Golden Core, it was definitely above most of the Foundation Establishment Perfection masters.
Of course, it wouldn't be a big deal if that was all. Lin Yi could handle it, but because he was worried about the third Goumang that hadn't appeared, he didn't dare to stray too far away from the others. Otherwise, he'd be in big trouble if he fell into the trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain.
However, this would put him in a bind. The cunning Goumang only used all sorts of long-range attacks, but never a direct confrontation. Lin Yi couldn't even attack it, let alone kill it. When the Five Elemental Killing Aura was useless, Lin Yi's only move was Electric Arc.
It wasn't hard to hit the Goumang with the speed of the Electric Arc, but the problem was that the opponent wasn't the Fire Bat King, but the Goumang that surpassed Foundation Establishment Perfection. The power of the Electric Arc could only tickle it, but it would be naive to think that it could kill it.
Poof! That Goumang shot a green poisonous gas from afar. It didn't even bother to see if it was effective. After it was done, it turned around and retreated without any hesitation.
"What the hell …" Lin Yi was helpless. Other than sending an Electric Arc to slightly numb it, there was nothing else he could do. Unless he unleashed his extreme Butterfly Microsteps to catch up to it. As long as he could close the distance between them to within three steps, the Goumang could forget about avoiding his Five Elemental Killing Aura. Unfortunately, he dared not take the risk because he knew that the third Goumang was waiting for an opportunity to strike.
If Leng Leng was in perfect condition, it would be fine. As long as she could hold on for a bit, Lin Yi would be able to play along even if he knew that the Goumang was trying to lure him away. He had enough confidence that he could get back before anything happened to them, but Leng Leng had used up a lot of energy from using the Ice Prison Mirror. She didn't even have the ability to protect herself.
Lingshan and the others helped Leng Leng sit down to recover as they looked at each other. They could see the predicament Lin Yi was in, but there was nothing they could do. After all, they didn't even have the strength to act tough. Otherwise, they'd end up like Ziyu and drag everyone else into danger.
"These Goumang are all crazy. Shouldn't they know when to retreat after suffering a loss? What's the point of them sticking to us like this?" Chentian said helplessly.
"That's true, he looks like he's very smart, why would a smart person do something like that?" Yu Bing and the others were confused as well.
Lingshan thought about it and spoke up, "They're trying so hard to keep us here, don't tell me they have reinforcements?"
Even Lin Yi couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat. He'd been keeping an eye on the third Goumang all this time and was only thinking of luring the tiger away from the mountain. He hadn't thought of this possibility.
From the way the three Goumang moved in unison, it was obvious that they were existences that moved in groups. In that case, it was very likely that there was a fourth or fifth Goumang, or even more!
