Chapter 2701 - 2700: Taking a Chance Together

Chapter 2701: Chapter 2700: Taking a Chance Together

A group of over a hundred Kunlun disciples followed Long Fei and Jiufeng into a cavern.

With Long Fei and Jiufeng leading the way, the disciples felt much more at ease.

As they walked forward, they chatted and joked.

Someone constantly commented on Jiufeng’s figure, saying that once Long Fei dies, they could rescue this junior sister first.

There are many female disciples in the Kunlun Mountains, but none with the charm of Jiufeng could be found.

Jiufeng listened with murderous intent, but was held back by Long Fei.

They soon entered an ice cavern, where the temperature suddenly plummeted, and crystal-like ice pillars hung suspended overhead.

This place was formed by a lake within the cavern, sealed by an Ice Sealing Formation to trap something beneath the surface.

Long Fei examined it closely and noted the creatures beneath the ice had not died.

As he and Jiufeng walked across the ice, he waved to the observing Kunlun disciples behind them, calling, "Brothers, it’s just a normal ice surface, come over!"

The disciples, seeing Long Fei and Jiufeng safely cross, eased their wariness.

However, out of caution, they walked over the void, avoiding contact with the ice surface as much as possible.

Nonetheless, as they reached halfway, they inadvertently triggered the formation.

The ice spikes overhead fell first, like long spears of ice raining down upon them.

Simultaneously, the chill below intensified, freezing the area around them, making movement difficult.

The group of disciples shouted loudly, "Not good, something’s happening!"

They brandished their magical weapons, sweeping them towards the ice pillars above.

The lake surface shook violently, ice pillars shattered into ice blossoms scattered around.

Disciples with lower cultivation levels were immobilized, pierced by the ice pillars, pinned onto the lake surface.

Blood flowed, screams echoed continuously.

The blood of the disciples stained the ice red, provoking chaos beneath the ice layer.

Something broke through the seal inside, but before the disciples could see what it was, the injured disciple was reduced to a puddle of blood.

The creatures below were ferocious, leaping out of the lake surface and biting fiercely at those above.

One bite at a time, even a True Immortal flesh would be torn open with wounds.

Someone shrieked in horror, "It’s Man-Eating Fish!"

"Everyone, be careful!"

"Stay calm, use the sword formation to break the formation!"

A senior stepped forward to steady the group, combining Kunlun Sword Formation to gather a vast Sword Qi, sweeping across the ice lake.

The Sword Qi penetrated ten meters into the lake surface, tearing out a scar above.

The Sword Qi was fierce, sweeping all around.

Many dead fish floated to the surface, a massive shock rolled across the lake, breaking the Ice Sealing Formation.

The group sighed with relief, urgently rushing towards the opposite side.

Long Fei looked at them with a sly smile, "An entry-level formation, too simple."

Jiufeng silently replied, "You could have just killed them directly, why toy with them?"

Long Fei shook his head, "The movements here reflect in the treasure mirror outside. If we dare to kill, masters would detect it instantly."

"Is that so?"

Jiufeng realized why Long Fei had been withholding action until now; killing someone wasn’t satisfying at all.

The group of disciples finally caught up, with three dead and over ten injured, all cursing at Long Fei, "Is it your mischief? How come nothing happened when you crossed, but problems arose as soon as we did?"

Long Fei feigned innocence, "Brothers, you cornered me with this question. We just casually walked over. Why the formation didn’t activate before us, we don’t know!"

The group consumed their pills, suspiciously watching the pair, thinking that the cavern had just been enlightened, these two indeed hadn’t used any techniques; it’s impossible they tampered in advance.

Earlier, it must have been their good luck that prevented triggering the formation.

Everyone calmed down, rejuvenated their spirits, ordered the pair again, "Continue forward, if we discover any malpractice from you two, beware for your lives!"

"Of course!"

Long Fei nodded, leading the group forward with Jiufeng.

Just past the ice cavern, the temperature ahead suddenly rose.

The group entered another cave, discovering the ground was completely crimson, resembling a scorching alchemy furnace.

Out of caution, they let Long Fei and Jiufeng go first, keeping an eye on their steps.

A disciple shouted, "Everyone, follow in their footsteps later, do not trigger the formations here!"

"Understood!"

The disciples declared in unison; after Long Fei and Jiufeng crossed safely, they carefully mimicked their steps, following behind.

When the whole group reached inside, the foremost disciple was about to stride out.

The ground suddenly surged with a scorching crimson light, enveloping them all.

The leading disciple shouted, "Not good!"

He brandished his longsword, trying to break through the red light, but was abruptly pulled back by the intense light barrier, his longsword quaking, pulling him into the formation with the group.

Flames suddenly erupted from the ground, trapping the hundred disciples within.

Cries of agony resounded, "It’s the Inferno Formation!"

They hurried to erect defense barriers, protecting their bodies.

However, apart from the Fire Elemental Force, other Yuan Forces were scarce here.

Besides using their own flesh and Essential Qi, the Primordial Spirit was of no use here.

Disciples with lower cultivation were roasted by the flames, their bodies heating up to fiery red, calling out strained cries, "Brothers, think of a solution fast!"

One disciple shouted, "This is the Eight Trigrams Furnace Fire Formation, quickly get to the Xun Wind position, where the temperature is lowest!"

He proficient in formations, led a group of juniors to the Xun Wind position.

This spot was the mouth of the wind, cooler, but the smoke was especially heavy.

Standing here made their eyes turn red, shouted like ghosts, "My eyes can’t see!"

"Senior brother, find another solution quickly!"

"How come those two bastards are unharmed?"

"Yeah, how did they safely pass, yet the formation triggers when we arrive?"

"Certainly, they did something!"

"Once we get out, kill them first!"

"..."

Amid curses and complaints, elite disciples summoned protective Dharma treasures, using beads or pagodas, shielding themselves from the flames and black smoke.

One disciple whispered, "Everyone, move aside. I’ll use this Sky-Shaking Thunder to blast open the formation barrier!"

He took out a Thunder Primordial Pearl bestowed by his master, Golden Immortal level, initially meant for self-defense.

At this point, he couldn’t care anymore.

He hurled the thunder orb, detonating thunder cracks up front, a massive lightning shockwave spreading like an endless flash, blasting open the fire formation’s barrier.

Ahead, the disciple led them through the gap; the other disciples swiftly followed.

The formation swirled, the barrier rapidly closed.

Over ten disciples lagged behind, unable to escape, trapped by the barrier.

The group barely caught their breath when cries echoed from inside, "Senior brother, I don’t want to die!"

The formation calmed, the cavern returned to normal.

But no life remained inside, and the ten or so disciples vanished, completely refined by the formation, not a single bone shard left behind.
