Chapter 1144: [849] Break Through the Formation! (Thanks to BTElite for the reward support)

After getting an affirmative answer, Pei Jinye’s face lit up with joy.

But the next second before he could finish speaking, his expression changed dramatically: “You can’t take this black box? You can’t take it? Is there something even more powerful than you, Flame?”

Their plan to grab the money and run was foiled on the spot.

Pei Jinye felt somewhat helpless.

“We’re in trouble now.”

It was now obvious to him that the box was stolen by the woman in the black dress.

There were only two possible outcomes.

Either this woman would win and drive off the other side.

Or the people who would come in would be from the opposing side.

But either way, they were forces he couldn’t afford to offend.

Despite his worries as the electrocution continued, Pei Jinye did not let it stop him from acquiring properties.

“Boom!”

A loud noise echoed.

The entire formation seemed as though it was about to shatter.

Without hesitation, Pei Jinye retracted the Thousand-Thread Line, four of which had already been crushed by that woman, forcing him to spend extra money on repairs.

Although he was already planning to save up some funds to purchase materials, having the Thousand-Thread Line forcefully damaged like this was distressing for him.

…

The flickering white light suddenly went out.

At the same time.

A mourning gust of wind poured down.

The figure of the woman in the black dress perfectly stepped back.

Visible arcs of electricity splattered from her original position.

A piercing screech sounded.

A short blade penetrated through the wall behind the woman in black, stabbing precisely into her shoulder.

However, before the short blade could continue to pierce,

Light patterns lit up under the feet of the woman in black.

Spreading like raging flames,

It engulfed the entire wall and then it shattered violently into countless square blocks.

The young woman codenamed Fish Tail, with agile movements, quickly stepped on these fragments in midair, continually switching positions.

The soaring red stream chased after her like tentacles.

Fish Tail narrowed her eyes, glancing back at the store behind her, but swiftly redirected her gaze, calmly saying: “I’ve probed it out. She is a Spiritual Body with Fire property.”

Tang Lu had just received confirmation when he heard Yu Long say in a low voice: “The unfortunate Matrix Controller is trapped within the formation, I can’t get in. The black box is also inside the formation.”

“Leave it to me, I’ll break the formation,” Tang Lu said upon hearing Fish Tail’s voice, “but I need the support of the Artifact Spirit.”

“No problem,” Tang Lu replied affirmatively.

Blazing light swept across in an instant.

The woman in the black dress turned her head to look behind her: “So there was a little bug hiding here.”

She flicked her finger.

Yu Long crossed his hands in front of him and stepped forward, shouting: “Star Shield!”

A purple light formed into a large shield.

The two forces collided.

The ensuing explosion sent air currents dispersing in all directions.

“Damn!”

Yu Long was sent flying backward, crashing into the ruins. He quickly got up and said, “Damn, what overpowering strength. Are you okay?”

“I’m breaking the formation, stall her for three minutes,” Fish Tail said.

She had already taken advantage of the chaos to leave the battlefield.

But it was too bad that Yu Long couldn’t even hold for one minute, let alone three.

“I can’t beat her, I really can’t!”

Yu Long howled in pain as he was blasted away.

The woman in the black dress expressionlessly stepped on him, grinding down hard against the ground.

“Toss!”

Yu Long cursed under his breath.

In midair, channeling the Power of the Stars, he lunged forward and struggled free.

“Bang!”

“Puh–”

He spat out a mouthful of blood.

But he managed to break free from the control of the woman in the black dress.

Crashing into the neighboring store, his eyes lit up seeing Spirit Talismans everywhere. Just when he was about to use some Attack Charms, he was shocked to find they were all useless cleaning talismans.

“Damn! What junk!”

The woman in the black dress charged at him.

But in a flash–

Under the night sky.

Brilliant sword light shattered the darkness.

Figures approached.

The sharp sounds of “clang, clang, clang” rang out.

The aggressive onslaught of the woman in the black dress was blocked, and she raised her head to look.

Fish Tail had somehow positioned herself in front of Yu Long, her expression equally surprised: “You’ve actually turned yourself into the Array’s Eye; no wonder I couldn’t break through this formation before.”

Beads of fresh red blood dripped from the woman’s arm; before they hit the ground, she incinerated them completely with blazing flames.

“Whoosh!”

The clear sound of a sword resonated.

Fish Tail gripped the Short Blade tightly in both hands.

Bolstered by the light.

The Short Blade was rapidly transforming into a Giant Sword.

As Fish Tail eyes gleamed with a faint light, the sword was already slashing down.

Countless pebbles flew, and the unstoppable impact hit the Array Protection Shield.

Magnificent Sword Light covered a corner of the night sky in an instant, and the woman’s figure disappeared from where she was.

The dead silent space seemed to have nothing left but Fish Tail’s panting.

“Clang!”

She hastily unsheathed her sword.

Fire marks appeared on the blade, and she stumbled a step backwards.

Following that, the towering figure of the woman seemed to encircle her, with countless flowing flames turning into a tornado.

“Damn it!”

Yu Long slammed his hand on the ground in anger, hands glowing as he rushed forward.

“Stinking hag, die for me!”

The woman turned back with an ice-cold gaze.

The flames wickedly split off into a Fire Dragon that pounced towards Yu Long.

“Heavenly Realm Fist, shatter for me!”

Yu Long roared.

A terrifying power burst forth from his body.

The energy contained in this punch was horrifyingly immense!

“Bang!”

The dragon’s head was smashed by the punch.

The scorching splashes spread in all directions, heating up the entire space in an instant.

“Come on, you old hag! Do you really think I’m a sick cat?” Yu Long provocatively taunted, aiming to draw some fire away from Fish Tail.

But suddenly his expression changed.

Why did his fist hurt so badly?

Raising his hand.

The skin of his fist had cracked.

He was shocked and quickly looked in horror at the woman: “What trick are you playing, you old hag? These flames even have the ability to corrode?”

Without a word, the woman freed her hands to deal with him.

“It’s almost there, just one more step.” Fish Tail’s voice appeared in Yu Long’s ear.

Yu Long didn’t respond, but popped a Detoxification Pill into his mouth and continued to provoke.

Fish Tail, using Sword Light, cut through the Fire Prison that surrounded her, quickly escaped, and while still in mid-air, flicked her sword into the ground.

And the Short Blade was only three inches from the woman’s feet.

Just as she was about to step over, Fish Tail murmured an incantation, activating a technique, and the Short Blade erupted with a sea blue glow.

In an instant, Longswords appeared around the woman.

Forming a prison.

She tried to rush out, but the recoil damage from the Sword Light made her spit out fresh blood on the spot.

“Trapped?”

Yu Long endured the tremendous pain in his fist and said.

“It’s done.” Fish Tail stood up and barged into the Matrix Controller’s shop.

Is it you?

Under her control, the Formation cracked like glass.

The woman let out a painful roar, struggling fiercely.

But what no one expected was–

After the Formation was opened.

The room was empty.

“Where’s the person?”

Fish Tail turned to look at the bellowing woman.

“I’m asking you, where’s the person?”
