Lu Xiaotian led the group of cultivators along the edge of the island for several hundred kilometers before finally stopping at a shallow beach. There weren't many places to leave the island. Lu Xiaotian had originally been alone, so he had to be careful. Now that he had so many cultivators with him, even if they were only temporary companions, there were many places to choose from.
"We'll break the formation here. As long as we're fast enough, we'll be able to leave before the tide of beasts. If we're too slow, don't blame me for not warning you. Everyone, attack the circle with everything you've got. Within ten breaths of time, we'll be able to break out of the formation. "
Lu Xiaotian flicked his finger and cast a Daoist magic. His magic power transformed into a flame that formed a circle with a small dot in the center.
With that, Lu Xiaotian slapped his scabbard. The Earth Splitter transformed into a beam of golden light that pierced through the air and slashed at the dot. Under the Earth Splitter's slash, there was a loud bang in the originally empty air. It was as if the Earth Splitter had struck a barrier, and a transparent restriction was faintly discernible.
When the bald brothers and the handsome young man saw Lu Xiaotian attack, their expressions flickered. They looked at Lu Xiaotian with fear. No wonder Patriarch Frost-Drake had said those words. This unremarkable silver-haired cultivator was actually a late Jin Dan expert with immense magic power.
However, the ones who were most surprised were the One-Armed Taoist Nun and Fu Jiaojiao. After all, the One-Armed Taoist Nun had seen Lu Xiaotian's strength before. Although they had not seen each other for more than ten years, at that time, a guy who was only in the early Gold Core stage had actually advanced to the late Gold Core stage. His magical power was not inferior to hers.
Fu Jiaojiao's eyes went wide. The first time she had met Lu Xiaotian, he had been a Foundation Establishment cultivator on that island. Her breakthrough to the early Jin Dan stage wasn't slow, but compared to Lu Xiaotian, she paled in comparison.
"You do have some skills. If I had a Formation Master like you to lead the way, it would have saved me a lot of trouble." When Patriarch Frost-Drake saw that Lu Xiaotian had forced him out of the restrictive spell, a faint smile appeared on his cold face. He reached out and made a grabbing motion.
A large hand covered in frost mysteriously appeared at the place where the Earth-shattering Blade had slashed. Around the giant hand, even the seawater on the beach began to freeze at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Lu Xiaotian's expression changed. What a sharp chill.
Crack! The large hand covered in frost clawed at the place where Lu Xiaotian had slashed with the Earth Splitter, and thick cracks appeared.
"Be quick," Patriarch Frost-Drake said. "If you mess up my plans, I won't forgive you."
The bald brothers, the handsome young man, the one-armed Daoist nun, and the others all took out their Jindan artifacts. They smashed forward one after another.
With a loud boom, the void rumbled like thunder. A huge hole was blasted in the transparent barrier.
Patriarch Frost-Drake glanced at Lu Xiaotian.
Lu Xiaotian understood that Patriarch Frost-Drake was still somewhat suspicious. As a Formation Master, he naturally had to prove that the place he had chosen was safe. As for how to prove it, he had to test it out himself.
Lu Xiaotian's body flashed, and he passed through the hole. The damp sea breeze and the scent of a large number of Demonbeasts assailed his nostrils.
"Be quick, or don't blame me for not warning you!" Lu Xiaotian growled. He still had to rely on these people to lead him to the cave. Otherwise, he would have left immediately, rather than stay behind to warn them.
Sure enough, it was safe. Patriarch Frost-Drake was the second to come out. The others were not slow, and they all passed through the hole.
"Wuuu!" Several kilometers away, the fog began to churn wildly, and the roars of Demonbeasts could be heard. Clearly, their actions had alerted the Demonbeasts guarding the formation.
There was no need for Lu Xiaotian to say anything. Patriarch Frost-Drake took the lead, shooting through the air at incredible speed. Lu Xiaotian hurriedly followed.
The others weren't slow, either. Before they were even half a kilometer away, a savage-looking Demondeer appeared behind them, followed by nearly a hundred Jin Dan -class Demonbeasts.
That was close. Everyone sighed inwardly at how lucky they had been. They now recognized Lu Xiaotian as a Formation Master.
There were still a large number of Demonbeasts swimming at the bottom of the sea. After flying at a low altitude for about fifty kilometers, Patriarch Frost-Drake flicked his finger, causing a spirit-plant with a small violet flower to fly into the water. The spirit-plant melted as soon as it touched the water, and a faint fishy smell assailed their nostrils. Lu Xiaotian held his breath, a look of surprise on his face. It was actually Demonlure Violet Mushroom, which had a miraculous effect on Demonbeasts in the water.
As expected, the water began to churn violently, and a large number of Demonbeasts began to converge. The group took advantage of the situation to fly a few kilometers away, then dove into the deep blue water. A several-meter-wide tunnel appeared in front of them.
A sea cave! Lu Xiaotian couldn't hide the joy on his face. He had come here through a sea cave, and now he could finally leave.
Just like before, after entering the sea cave, although they could see all kinds of Demonic Beasts swimming in the sea close by, the Demonic Beasts didn't notice them at all.
About two hours later, Patriarch Frost-Drake was the first to emerge from the water.
The handsome young man hurriedly followed. Before Lu Xiaotian and the others could emerge from the water, they heard a miserable shriek from above their heads.
Scalding blood sprayed down from the top of their heads as the handsome young man's body was split in two, which then fell back into the water. His large head rolled back into the water, a look of shock and terror on his face.
Lu Xiaotian even saw his Nascent Divinity float past him in terror, then dive back into the water, as if some terrifying entity were hiding beneath the surface.
Lu Xiaotian's heart turned cold. Patriarch Frost-Drake had been the first to emerge, but all he heard was a miserable shriek. It was obvious who had killed the handsome young man with a single blow.
"It's Patriarch Frost-Drake!" Said the bald brothers, their faces ashen. They were the weakest of the group, and the handsome young man had been about as strong as them. And yet, he had been killed in a single blow. How could the two of them possibly have a good end?
Everyone hesitated for a moment, and then a shocking coldness descended from above, followed by several enormous frost-covered hands that reached out to grab them.
It was Patriarch Frost-Drake. Wherever the frost-covered hands went, the water began to freeze. Considering the situation, there was no point in hiding underwater.
Lu Xiaotian blurred into motion, dodging the incoming hand and breaking out of the water. The one-armed Daoist nun, Zhou Qian 'er, and the others had been forced out of the water by Patriarch Frost-Drake's attack.
"Patriarch Frost-Drake," the bald brothers said, looking very bedraggled. "Why are you trying to kill us now that we've come to an agreement?"
Two azure-robed men stood next to Patriarch Frost-Drake, radiating coldness.
"If you want to blame someone, blame your bad luck," said Patriarch Frost-Drake. "You learned something you shouldn't have. Back in the Misty Palace, you were useful. But now, there's no need to live. "
