385 Breaking the Formation (2)

‘So you’re here for the buffet…’

Jiang Beiran, who could feel his blood flowing out at a rapid rate, quickly activated the Blood Rejuvenation Technique and tried his best to speed up his breathing.

[Mission completed. Reward: Constitution +1]

Jiang Beiran finally understood what was going on when he saw the system notification.

From the time he started cultivating the King Gu, he had discovered that his blood seemed to have a fatal attraction to them. Even the extremely unruly King Gu would become very obedient after smelling the fragrance of his blood.

To put it simply, as long as they were given blood to drink, they would all be obedient children.

When he cut his palm and let the fragrance of the blood spread out, it was obvious that it had aroused the appetite of the Gu in the body of the person who set up the array. That was why it rushed out to eat without any care.

‘But you’re too gluttonous!?’

Jiang Beiran, who had already felt that the blood in his body had been sucked dry for several rounds, felt a little dizzy. Although breathing was good, he could not be too greedy…

Just as Jiang Beiran was feeling increasingly dizzy, the green gu finally had its fill and crawled into Jiang Beiran’s arms contentedly. Its movements were smooth and fluid, as if it was Jiang Beiran’s pet.

When Jiang Beiran took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands, the atmosphere in the room became tense again.

The person who set up the formation seemed to have suffered a huge backlash and fell to the ground, unable to move. Meng Sipei was paralyzed by the wind from the palm strike and couldn’t move. Yin Jianghong didn’t understand the situation at all, so she didn’t dare to move.

After wiping the blood off his hands, Jiang Beiran slowly walked up to Meng Sipei.

“Open your mouth.”

Meng Sipei opened her mouth without hesitation.

There was nothing she could do about it. The shock that the scene of the Ice-and-Concealment had given her was too great. When the person who had set up the formation had turned into a monster and crippled Yin Jianghong in two moves, she thought that they would all die here today.

However, in the face of such a powerful monster, Senior actually crippled him with only one move.

‘How familiar must he be to be able to understand his opponent’s weakness?’

While she was still in shock, Meng Sipei felt a sweet juice flow into her mouth and quickly began to nourish her broken body.

Looking at the senior who was feeding her medicine, Meng Sipei suddenly blushed. For some reason, she remembered the softness when their lips touched.

‘This shouldn’t be the first time…Senior was only trying to save my life. He didn’t have any other intentions. Definitely not!

Meng Sipei immediately stopped her thoughts and tried to raise her hands.

“Alright…It’s done.” Meng Sipei looked at her hands and said.

“Then get up and get to work.”

“..”

‘This senior really doesn’t know what it means to have tender feelings for a woman…’

Meng Sipei mumbled in her heart and stood up obediently.

Seeing that the masked man didn’t seem to have any intention of causing trouble for her, Yin Jianghong took a step toward the person who had set up the formation.

Seeing that the masked man still had no reaction, he put down his hand and walked towards the person who set up the array, intending to use a magic treasure to tie him up.

Just as Yin Jianghong took out a black box, three options popped up in front of Jiang Beiran.

[Option 1: Let Yin Jianghong take away the person who set up the array. [Completion Reward: Shocking Dragon Seal (Earth Grade Mid-Rank)]

[Option 2: Chase Yin Jianghong away. [Completion Reward: Moon Zen Mystic Axis (Xuan Grade Mid-Rank)]

[Option 3: Let Yin Jianghong kill the person who set up the array. [Completion Reward: Random Basic Skill Point +1]

After choosing option three, Jiang Beiran said,””I advise you not to think about capturing him alive. He is much more troublesome than you think.”

Yin Jianghong’s body stiffened when she heard the masked man’s voice. She turned around and cupped her hands.”Thank you for your guidance, Senior.”

Although Yin Jianghong really wanted to bring the person who set up the array back and interrogate him to get a better understanding of the truth, now that the expert had spoken, she could only obey.

After all, he was the one who saved his life. What right did he have to object?

Yin Jianghong walked up to the person who had laid out the array, who was now completely unconscious. She gathered a ball of black liquid in her right palm and threw it at the person who laid the array.

The moment the black liquid came into contact with the person who set up the array, there was a sizzling sound, and the person’s body began to dissolve at a speed visible to the naked eye.

[Mission completed. Reward: Music +1]

Seeing the system notification, Jiang Beiran knew that the person who had set up the formation was dead. He took out another talisman and began to instruct Meng Sipei on what to do.

Now that the person who had set up the formation was dead, breaking the formation would be a piece of cake. However, before breaking the formation, Jiang Beiran had first studied the self-barrier.

An hour later, Jiang Beiran, who had figured something out, looked at Meng Sipei and said,””Do as this king told you.”

“Yes.” After Meng Sipei finished speaking, she took the talisman and flew up the cliff.

In the time it took to brew a cup of tea, Jiang Beiran had broken the second eye of the formation. At the same time, the self-enchantment of the person who had set up the formation had completely collapsed.

Stepping into the fishing village again, Meng Sipei looked at the miasma that was not as thick as before and said happily,””Senior! You’re really too…Eh… Senior?”

Meng Sipei looked around, but she couldn’t find Senior.

Just as he was about to ask Yin Jianghong if she had seen Senior, he realized that Yin Jianghong had also disappeared.

“This…”

Meng Sipei suddenly felt a huge sense of loss. He knew that the senior must have left without saying goodbye.

‘Can’t you just say hello before leaving…I… I still have something to say.

In her disappointment, Meng Si’s mind suddenly flashed back to the figure in the cave. When she left, she didn’t say anything.

‘Are these experts all the same…No, no, I shouldn’t be thinking about him now! But… But he also saved my life.

For a moment, Meng Sipei was conflicted. She felt as if she had fallen into an emotional entanglement.

On the other side, Yin Jianghong, who had just left the ward, flew towards the place where he and Jiang Beiran had been separated based on her memory. Although she felt that there was no hope, she still had to go and look for him!

As time passed, the miasma slowly dissipated. Without the help of the miasma, the alien experts quickly fell into a state of defeat. Some fled, some died.

“Cough…Cough, cough, cough!”

Just as Yin Jianghong was looking around for Jiang Beiran, a series of coughs suddenly came from under a pile of rocks.

Yin Jianghong was overjoyed when she heard the coughing sound. She quickly slapped away all the rubble and pulled the extremely weak Jiang Beiran out from the rubble.

“Kid, you really didn’t die!” Yin Jianghong shouted as she hugged Jiang Beiran.

He was the one who had brought Jiang Beiran into the miasma, and he was also the one who had promised to protect him. If Jiang Beiran really died here, he would feel rather guilty.

“Yin…Cult Master Yin? I didn’t die?” As Jiang Beiran spoke, his expression was one of shock, one of weakness, and one of survival.

“Right, you didn’t die! But how could you not die!?”

As Yin Jianghong spoke, she checked Jiang Beiran’s pulse and found that although his internal organs were very weak, they were all fine.

“Water, there’s…Do you have water?” Jiang Beiran extended his hand.

“Yes, of course.” Yin Jianghong handed a water bag to Jiang Beiran.

“Gulp…Gulp… Gulp…”

After drinking all the water in the water bag, Jiang Beiran heaved a sigh of relief and said,””When I was separated from Cult Master Yin, I thought I was dead for sure, but I suddenly met an expert who helped me. He fed me a medicinal pill and hid me here.”

“Expert? He had to thank that expert properly.”Yin Jianghong said.

“This… I don’t know either. That expert’s face was covered, so I couldn’t see his face clearly.”

” Masked?!” Yin Jianghong’s expression changed.
