“Oh, holy power…What pure holy power!”
The evils spirits that were charging from behind stopped about two meters in front of Luo Puti, not daring to even cross an inch over.
The Heart Cleansing Ancient Plate’s effects covered an area of about two meters around them.
“Everyone, huddle up now! The closer the better!” Chen Xiaobei instructed.
There were 22 people present. Only half of those were able squeeze in within the Heart Cleansing Ancient Plate’s protective circle.
The other half would have no choice but to rely on Chen Xiaobei’s protection.
That was not difficult, of course. Chen Xiaobei had the holy item Cleansing Bodhi on him. Evil spirits could not go near him.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The hundred-eyed imps that the thousand-eyed spirit released flurried past them like a windstorm towards Ding Ding’ao who was lying on the ground and picked him clean, leaving nothing but a skeletal frame.
“Holy power! That guy is also protected by a pure holy force!”
The evil spirits wanted to attack the larger group of people, but they could not advance within two meters of Chen Xiaobei!
So, now Chen Xiaobei was guarding the front and Luo Puti who was at the back. The two holy items synchronized with each other and managed to protect everyone.
No one cared for the deceased Ding Ding’ao. He and Zhou Xiaokun’s atrocious behaviour had everyone’s hearts turned against them. As a result, none of them felt sorry for these young masters’ deaths!
“The Asura Hunter-spirits had already informed us that you have holy items that can ward of evil spirits. So, it’s true!” The thousand-eyed spirit turned around and smiled at them. “Unfortunately, no matter how powerful your holy items are, you can never escape me!”
“Why not?” Luo Puti asked. “All we have to do is travel together in a group. How could you possibly stop us?”
“Heh, why don’t you try it then?” The demon chuckled.
“I…” Luo Puti picked up her feet to walk but was startled to find that both her legs had were bound to the ground by the red luminescence.
All at once, everyone looked down and saw that they too were shackled to the ground. How were they supposed to move forward now?
“What is happening, Mr. Chen? How did this happen?”
Great fear gripped the people.
If the 130,000 combat power Zhou Xiaokun and Ding Ding’ao were unable to set themselves free, the chances of them escaping was virtually non-existent.
“This binding is the Special Ability of the Formation! It’s not the evil spirit’s power! Holy force can only keep evil spirits away but not a Formation!” Chen Xiaobei explained. “We will need to break the Formation if we want to get out!”
The expression on everyone’s face darkened.
“How could we break the formation? Even Zhou Xiaokun and Ding Ding’ao were killed. How are we supposed to do it? It’s impossible!”
“Look, even Mr. Chen is constrained. Breaking the formation is just a pipe dream! We’re dead! We’re really going to die this time…”
“After all we’ve been through, fighting so hard to survive, we now have to die in the hands of evil spirits?! It’s so unfair! So unfair!”
The 22 people cried out, grieving for themselves.
Fate had been playing a bad joke on them. They had just escaped death and now it had caught up to them again. They were filled with despair.
“It looks like you guys are not all that stupid! At least you recognize what’s happening! Hahaha!” the thousand-eyed spirit laughed. “So, what if you have the holy item to protect you? Look around you! You are surrounded by ten thousand spirits. You can never get away, not even in a thousand years!”
Hopelessness weighed down on all the people like a ton of bricks.
They were just regular folk. How would they have thousands of years in lifespan? These evil spirits were eternal! Time was never a factor for them! Because the time they had was practically limitless!
When the spirit said that they were going to wear them down, it was not exaggerating!
None of the people here were saints. Once they were cut off from water and food, death would be imminent.
“We’re dead! We really are screwed this time!”
“Mr. Chen, do you have any ideas? Please think of something! Save us please! You are our only hope!”
“Do you think Mr. Chen is a god? No one can solve this for us! Stop bothering Mr. Chen! He’s already helped us so much!”
The group of people huddled together and continued their laments.
Even though they knew that Chen Xiaobei was strong, none of them dared put their entire hope on Chen Xioabei getting them out of this situation.
This powerful Thousand Spirit Formation was beyond anything they could handle!
Even a demigod might have not been able to escape this collosal Formation!
From their point of view, to hope that Chen Xiaobei could break the Formation was a lot more than just challenging. It was highly improbable.
“Don’t panic, everyone! I have an idea!” Chen Xiaobei suddenly spoke. His words were like an injection of adrenaline.
“Really? Mr. Chen! Do you really have an idea?”
“My god! Mr. Chen! You really are incredible!”
“Mr. Chen! Hurry! Break this Formation! Let’s get out of this desert! I will never ever set foot in another desert again for the rest of my life!”
The previously despaired group began to cheer. Chen Xiaobei’s words were like the light at the end of the tunnel.
The thousand-eyed spirit scoffed, “Are you so scared that you’ve fried your brains? You know how to break my Thousand Spirit Formation? Why don’t you just say that you could punch a hole in the heavens?”
“Enough nonsense! You’ll know the answer soon!” Chen Xiaobei was unfazed, reaching into the Infinite Space Ring for a black talisman.
That’s right!
It was the Spirit Summoning Talisman!
“What is that thing? It’s just a talisman. How is it supposed to break the formation?” The thousand-eyed spirit said with incredulity.
“Heaven and Earth at my command! Lend me your strength!” Chen Xiaobei had the talisman wedged between his fingers as he shouted, “I… with the name of Spirit Lord summon all spirits from all directions! Hear my command!”
Once he finished speaking, the talisman lit up in a strange blue flame that did not burn but brought about a bone-chilling cold!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Immediately, the thousands of Asura Hunter-spirits that were blocking the tunnel, came forward and stood protectively in front of the people!
These evil spirits were all under the influence of the Spirit Summoning Talisman. Before its effect wore off in an hour’s time, they would all be obeying Chen Xiaobei’s instructions.
At the same time, numerous common evil spirits had slipped in through the walls of the tunnel.
These were all the spirits of the dead within one kilometer. They had all gathered here under the summon of the talisman!
On the other hand, the ten thousand hundred-eyed evil spirits that the thousand-eyed spirit had released were not summoned to Chen Xiaobei because they were bound to the Formation!
All at once, the large empty space was filled with evil spirits. Ten thousand evil spirits against ten thousand evil spirits!
Everyone, including the thousand-eyed spirit, watched the events unfold in shock.
