Chapter 12: Formation

The hall fell silent for a moment.

Dai Mubai, in a bad mood, said coldly, "Do you take us for fools?"

Bai Yuan sneered contemptuously, "Aren't you fools if you're so reckless?"

Earlier, while Ning Rongrong and Dai Mubai were arguing, Bai Yuan had already set up several formations here.

In other words, now, with Zhao Wujin not taking action, he could easily kill everyone present.

Dai Mubai looked at Ning Rongrong and said, "Since he chose to show up at this time, let's attack together. Once we subdue them all, we'll take one person each. How about that? It'll also leave us with some classmate camaraderie."

Finally, Oscar couldn't help but step forward and say, "Yeah, Ning Rongrong, we were classmates after all. There's no need to turn against each other so fiercely."

Ning Rongrong found it amusing. In the end, it was all up to her. She looked at Dai Mubai's expression and then turned to the middle-aged man, "All right, I'll make a deal with you. If you help me, he will never become the emperor. But if you help him, I will still be the daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Master."

The middle-aged man's face changed again.

Ning Rongrong's words were straightforward. If Dai Mubai couldn't become the emperor, he would be safe under the protection of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. But if he helped Dai Mubai, Ning Rongrong had the capability to seek revenge on him. Who knows, Dai Mubai might not even have returned to the Star Luo Empire when he died.

Dai Mubai's eyes flickered with coldness, "Ning Rongrong, while others may fear your status, I do not! Believe me, I can kill you right now!"

Ning Rongrong sneered, "If I die, everyone here will suffer. Do you think they'll let you kill me?"

Many of the soul masters in the hall broke out in a cold sweat because if Dai Mubai really made a move, they could only face it head-on with their heads held high.

Dai Mubai coldly sneered, "With them, do you think they can stop our martial soul fusion skill, the Yin Yang Giant Spirit Transformation?"

Ning Rongrong was startled.

She had forgotten about the Star Luo Imperial Family's killing technique.

If Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing displayed it together, that Soul King might not be able to stop them, and even if he did, it might not be enough to protect her.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

The middle-aged man didn't dare to make a decision rashly.

As for the rest of the Shrek Five Monsters, they had already stood beside Dai Mubai without hesitation, which made Ning Rongrong extremely anxious, and she was determined to pull the Soul King to her side.

A Fight Among Classmates?

In the face of hundred-thousand-year soul rings and soul bones, even couples can turn against each other, let alone mere classmates?

Not to mention, they've only known each other for a few days, and Ning Rongrong is the one who has been isolated by everyone.

Tang San also said, "Ning Rongrong, my first priority now is to deal with the two of them. If we let them escape, everything will be in vain."

Among them, Tang San was the most anxious when Ning Rongrong and Dai Mubai confronted each other because he was genuinely worried that Bai Yuan would run away.

He hadn't had a chance to advise earlier, but now it's just right.

Ning Rongrong finally nodded and said, "Dai Mubai, let's catch one person each."

Dai Mubai nodded. He had originally wanted to team up with Zhu Zhuqing, but with Ning Rongrong present, he could only give up on one of them.

With a common goal, everyone once again focused all their energy on Bai Yuan and Bai Yu.

However, Ning Rongrong was still wary of Dai Mubai.

After all, Dai Mubai was truly willing to kill her. If the middle-aged man went out as the main force, she, as a support-type soul master, wouldn't be able to defend against the attacks.

As for the trouble that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect might bring, the Star Luo Empire would naturally block them because the Star Luo Empire couldn't give up the hundred-thousand-year soul rings and soul bones.

The middle-aged man made the first move.

Bai Yu was about to confront him head-on as a Soul King, but Bai Yuan stopped her and whispered in her ear, "Bai Yu, don't make a move yet. I'll hold them off, and you find an opportunity to catch the girl."

Bai Yu remained silent and shifted her gaze to Ning Rongrong, while Bai Yuan formed seals with his hands, and spiritual power marks appeared in the air, disappearing into thin air.

"Golden Spirit Formation!"

Dozens of sword lights struck down from the sky.

The sword lights were extremely sharp, almost turning into tangible substances, carrying an unstoppable sharpness.

Even though these sword lights were not aimed at them, many people around felt their skin tingle.

The middle-aged man was taken aback. A black light enveloped his entire body, and he let out a low roar, the first and second soul rings on his body shining simultaneously.

First Soul Skill, Xuan Turtle Shield.

Second Soul Skill, Xuan Water Freezing.

Instantly, he rotated rapidly, revealing the turtle shell on his back, and a black light, like flowing water, released a bone-chilling coldness.

Dozens of sword lights struck the turtle shell, causing a burst of sharp energy, but it only pushed him back two steps, leaving dense white marks on it without causing any substantial damage.

A five-ring defense-type Soul King displayed his formidable defensive power.

Facing the dark water flowing straight towards him, Bai Yuan showed no intention of dodging or defending. Instead, he formed seals with both hands and pointed forward.

"Water Spirit Formation! Disperse!"

As if his words turned into action, the water flow immediately dispersed and vanished without a trace.

Then Bai Yuan changed his hand seals again.

"Earth Spirit Formation!"

The ground beneath the middle-aged man's feet collapsed, and a soil sphere instantly appeared, enclosing him within.

"What are you all still staring at? Come help me!" The angry voice of the middle-aged man came from within the soil sphere.

As a defense-type soul master, his attack power was naturally weak, even to the point of being pitiful.

Now, trapped in the soil sphere, the middle-aged man couldn't escape for a while and felt his oxygen rapidly depleting.

Hearing the middle-aged man's cry, the others were like waking from a dream and released their martial souls.

"Seven Treasures Glazed Tile: First Name, Strength!"

"Seven Treasures Glazed Tile: Second Name, Speed!"

Ning Rongrong's body was surrounded by colorful radiance, and seven-colored light converged in her palm, forming a seven-meter-high, seven-colored treasure pagoda.

"Seven Treasures Glazed Tile: Third Name, Agility!"

"Seven Treasures Glazed Tile: Fourth Name, Body Protection!"

"Seven Treasures Glazed Tile: Fifth Name, Illusion!"

"Seven Treasures Glazed Tile: Sixth Name, Treasure Amplification!"

"Seven Treasures Glazed Tile: Seventh Name, Skill Boost!"

Bai Yu and Bai Yuan had two soul rings simultaneously shining on their bodies.

Bai Yu quickly activated the second and third soul skills.

Second Soul Skill, Blue Silver Grass: Entanglement!

Third Soul Skill, Blue Silver Grass: Parasitism!

Blue-black thick vines spiraled out again, surging towards Bai Yuan's body from all directions.

"Wood Spirit Formation!"

Bai Yuan shouted.

Strong vines appeared, not only stopping Tang San's attacks but also sending many vines attacking the people around.

Ma Hongjun didn't hesitate and simultaneously activated his first and second soul rings.

First Soul Skill, Phoenix Fire Line. Second Soul Skill, Bathing Fire Phoenix, when activated, enhanced the phoenix flames by 30%.

A purplish-red fire line spewed out from Ma Hongjun's mouth, and the intense heat ignited the attacking vines.

"Is this all you've got? You think you can hurt me with this?" Ma Hongjun said proudly with a hint of disdain.

Dai Mubai's cold voice sounded, "Fatty, you fool, do you want to bury all of us in the sea of fire?"

Ma Hongjun looked at the vines he had ignited and the rapidly spreading fire in the hall. His smile froze on his face.

Dai Mubai didn't waste time talking and activated his third soul skill once again, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, causing his muscles to swell.

Ignoring the flames around him, he struck his claws at the soil sphere.

The soil sphere instantly exploded under the combination of inside and outside attacks.

The middle-aged man took a deep breath of fresh air.

"Fire Spirit Formation!"

The flames in the entire hall suddenly surged, and a terrifying heat spread through the hall, making everyone uncomfortable. The place was thoroughly ignited.

"Damn it! You stupid fatty, do you want to kill all of us?" a two-ring soul master who had just cut off a vine angrily said.

More low-level soul masters had already started running away.

The seven students from Canghui Academy simultaneously attacked Bai Yuan. The first and second soul rings on their bodies glowed, and various soul skills were launched.

"Lightning Spirit Formation!"

Several electric lights suddenly flashed in the sea of fire. The seven people who were attacking Bai Yuan stiffened and fell to the ground with their bodies scorched.

Bai Yuan was now using multiple formations.

In this grand hall, he had set up many formations.

Among them, the most basic ones were the Gold Spirit Formation, Wood Spirit Formation, Water Spirit Formation, Fire Spirit Formation, and Earth Spirit Formation.

All of these formations were top-level first-grade formations, which could trap ordinary cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Before this level of formation, these ordinary soul masters had no chance to resist.

The more advanced formations were the Wind Spirit

Formation, Ice Spirit Formation, and Lightning Spirit Formation. Even high-level Qi Refining cultivators would have a hard time escaping from these formations once they were trapped.

Among these three formations, the Lightning Spirit Formation was the most powerful in terms of lethality, easily annihilating the seven two-ring soul masters.

Unfortunately, the soul masters of the Douluo Continent didn't know this.
