Chapter 322: Formation Refiner
Su Chen's figure flashed by like a meteor.
The Qi flow surged around his body.
The air around seemed to be cut apart.
The core of the formation is located ten meters ahead.
It was a strange ball of light suspended in the air, emitting strong Qi fluctuations.
Su Chen's perception captured it clearly.
That ball of light was not simply a collection of energy, but a carrier of a certain kind of consciousness.
It seemed to be watching, analyzing, even... waiting.
“It’s even intelligent?”
Su Chen sneered, but his pace increased.
Just when he was five meters close to the light ball, the Qi field of the formation suddenly fluctuated violently.
A dark shadow emerged from the ball of light and quickly condensed into a human figure.
The human figure was shrouded in black mist and was blurry.
But those bloodshot eyes were fixed on Su Chen.
"Those who enter the battle formation should make themselves at ease now that they have arrived."
A cold, mechanical voice came from the black fog, carrying with it unquestionable majesty.
Su Chen did not respond.
The Qi flow in his fist quickly condensed to the extreme.
Without any fancy moves, he just threw a punch.
The target is the suspended ball of light.
He saw clearly that this ball of light was the real core of the formation.
Must be destroyed!
However, just as the fist wind was about to touch the ball of light.
The human figure suddenly rose from the ground, and his hands turned into black mist like sharp blades.
Facing Su Chen's attack.
In an instant.
The Qi force and the black fog collided violently.
A deafening roar erupted.
The powerful reaction force caused Su Chen's body to retreat slightly.
Yet his gaze remained sharp.
There was even a hint of sneer on the corner of his mouth.
"You think you can stop me with just a shadow?"
His voice was not loud, but it was full of disdain.
The black mist figure seemed to be enraged, and its body suddenly swelled.
It transformed into dozens of tentacle-like misty sharp blades and attacked Su Chen from all directions.
The sharp blade was moving at an extremely fast speed, and a sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard in the air.
To tear Su Chen into pieces in an instant.
Su Chen's actions were extremely calm.
He suddenly rolled sideways, and golden light condensed on his arms, forming an arc-shaped golden shield.
Block all attacks from all directions.
"not enough!"
Su Chen roared, and the Qi flow burst out again, and the whole person turned into a blurry shadow.
He actually broke out from the encirclement of black mist and sharp blades and headed straight for the ball of light.
The human figure seemed to be aware of the danger and expanded its body again, trying to block the ball of light.
But Su Chen's speed was already extremely fast.
He slammed one hand to the ground.
The thunder method spread along the ground and instantly condensed into a yang thunder vortex.
He grabbed the black mist figure forcibly.
"Blow it up!"
Su Chen gritted his teeth and suddenly let out a low roar.
Ground thunder exploded.
The black mist figure was dispersed by the powerful impact force.
It turned into countless tiny pieces of energy and scattered everywhere.
The ball of light was exposed in front of Su Chen without any obstruction, and he punched it out without hesitation.
This punch squeezed the power of Qi in his body to the extreme.
The Qi flow gushed out like a flood bursting through a dam, heavily hitting the light ball.
With a piercing roar, the ball of light suddenly exploded.
The Qi field of the formation collapsed, and the originally sticky air instantly resumed flowing.
Everything around became bright, and the darkness and oppression quickly disappeared.
however.
Su Chen did not relax his vigilance.
He quickly stepped back several steps, his eyes fixed on the original core area of the formation.
Sure enough, a figure appeared in the center of the collapsed Qi field.
It’s Xia He!
Her face was pale and her body was trembling slightly.
There was a complex light flashing in his eyes.
Her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Su Chen.
"What the hell are you playing?"
Su Chen spoke coldly, suppressed anger in his voice.
Xia He was silent for a moment, finally raised his head and smiled bitterly.
"This formation cannot be broken."
"This is actually... a cage."
"And I am the real prisoner."
She just finished speaking.
Su Chen's pupils suddenly contracted, and he felt something was wrong.
That familiar sense of danger in the air reappeared.
Su Chen did not act rashly.
He stared at Xia He quietly, his eyes as cold as a knife and sharp as if he could see through her at a glance.
The dangerous aura became stronger and stronger, like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, ready to attack at any time.
"Cage? Prisoners?"
Su Chen's voice was low, carrying an irresistible sense of oppression.
"You'd better explain clearly, otherwise..."
There was a hint of murderous intent in his tone, which made people shudder.
Xia He took a deep breath, and the bitter smile on her face became even wider.
His hands trembled slightly, as if forcing himself to calm down.
She spoke slowly: "This formation is tailor-made for you."
Su Chen's brows furrowed even tighter, and his tone became even colder:
"What do you mean?"
Xia He's eyes flashed with pain and hesitation, but she finally spoke:
"From the moment you step into this area, you have been drawn into a carefully laid out scheme."
"Bureau?"
Su Chen sneered, his voice full of sarcasm:
"Do you think this little trick can trap me?"
"This is not an ordinary formation."
Xia He's voice was low and rapid, as if she was afraid of being heard by something.
"Its purpose is not to kill you, but to... absorb your Qi."
"Absorbing Qi?"
Su Chen's eyes suddenly focused, his body leaned forward slightly, and there was a hint of danger in his tone:
"Explain clearly!"
Xia He raised his hand and pointed at the core of the formation that had collapsed.
At this moment, wisps of dark red light were slowly gathering in that area.
"The more you attack it, the more you speed up the restart process."
"The real purpose of this formation is to transform your Qi into pure life energy."
"Then, use this as a sacrifice to revive an ancient being."
Su Chen's pupils suddenly shrank, and he had some vague guesses in his mind.
"Resurrecting an ancient being?"
His voice was low and as cold as ice:
"Who are you talking about?"
Xia He shook her head, with a hint of deep fear in her eyes:
"I don't know its name either...we just call it 'The Sleeper'."
"Sleeper?"
Su Chen repeated it, his alertness increasing sharply.
According to his limited intelligence, this kind of existence is usually a terrifying existence beyond the understanding of ordinary aliens.
The cost of coming into contact with them is often devastating.
"So, they want to use me as a lead."
Su Chen said coldly, his eyes like knives:
"Are you part of this plan too?
So you deliberately led me here?"
Xia He's body trembled slightly, her face became even paler, and then she nodded slowly:
"True, but I…I don't have a choice."
"Su Chen, this is not my wish. I was just forced to obey."
Su Chen's eyes became sharper, and his voice was as cold as frost:
"Who is controlling you? And why me?"
Xia He gritted her teeth, her eyes full of struggle:
"All the elements... and some of their hidden factions."
"Especially those weapon refiners who are proficient in formations."
"They have never appeared in public, and even few people within Quanxing know of their existence."
Su Chen snorted coldly:
"Array Refiner?"
