DIV Chapter 37: Minor Five Elements Escape Technique

Wei Sen's expression changed drastically. What he feared most was being trapped within a formation!

Although his escape techniques were formidable, he needed the opportunity to use them!

"This kid is just a low-grade talisman master who got this mansion by luck. He shouldn't be able to afford any good formations." Wei Sen thought this way as his hawk-like eyes swept around the surroundings.

His figure swayed, wanting to leave the courtyard.

But in the next instant, his entire body shuddered as if he had crashed into copper walls and iron barriers!

"This is getting troublesome."

Wei Sen felt increasingly uneasy.

He tried breaking through in various directions.

But whether he forcibly broke through or used escape techniques, the result was the same.

He simply couldn't get out!

"What kind of formation is this?"

The unease in Wei Sen's heart grew stronger.

There was clearly nothing around, and it didn't look like there were any traces of formations.

Yet he was trapped within one.

Moreover, from the surrounding void, waves of killing intent that made his heart tremble faintly emerged.

"Is it the Cloud Mist Hidden Kill Formation? Or the Shadowless Soul Shock Formation?"

In an instant, several formations flashed through his mind.

But no matter which one, they were at least first-tier superior-grade formations, priced so expensively that even he would feel heartache.

How could Li Chang'an possibly afford one?

"Damn it, this kid must have had a great fortune!" Wei Sen's expression was ugly.

He suddenly remembered that Zheng Jinbao had mentioned to him that he had previously hired several robber cultivators to deal with Li Chang'an.

But those robber cultivators, fearing detection by the Foundation Establishment ancestor, had all fled.

Thinking about it now, those robber cultivators probably hadn't fled but had died at Li Chang'an's hands!

"Damn Zheng Jinbao, you've trapped me like this!" Wei Sen gritted his teeth, cursing inwardly.

Just then, the void in front of him suddenly twisted.

"Not good!"

Wei Sen's expression changed drastically as he hurriedly dodged.

In the next instant, an invisible killing intent swept across where he had been standing.

He dodged in time, only having a corner of his clothes cut off.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, dozens of hidden killing intents suddenly emerged from the surrounding void, like invisible sharp blades all striking toward him.

"Shield!"

Wei Sen couldn't spare the heartache as he slapped out dozens of talismans in succession.

But after just a few breaths, all the talismans became dim, shattered one after another, and dissipated within the formation.

"I can't delay any longer. If I keep delaying, I'll surely die!"

Wei Sen's face turned pale as he already smelled the scent of death.

Who would have thought that what seemed like an easy operation would lead him into such a predicament?

With a thought, he took out an extremely special talisman from his storage bag.

"Break for me!"

That talisman instantly burst into flames.

Golden patterns lit up on its surface.

All the patterns interconnected, golden magical power surged, transforming into a sharp sword that thrust straight toward a section of void.

This was precisely a first-tier superior-grade talisman, the Prohibition Breaking Talisman!

This type of talisman had the ability to break formations.

Its drawing technique was extremely difficult, considered a masterpiece among superior-grade talismans.

The vast majority of first-tier superior-grade talisman masters lacked the ability to draw them.

"It must break through!" Wei Sen gritted his teeth and took out three more precious Prohibition Breaking Talismans in succession.

The power of four Prohibition Breaking Talismans combined.

Golden light blazed.

The entire scene within the courtyard became twisted and blurred.

It seemed the formation was truly about to be broken.

However, after just a few breaths, everything stabilized again, returning to its previous appearance.

The flames of the four Prohibition Breaking Talismans all dimmed until they were completely extinguished.

Burned out.

They all eventually turned to flying ash, scattering with the wind.

"How is this possible? Could it be a second-tier formation?"

Wei Sen found it truly hard to believe.

This failure made him faintly feel despair.

But he didn't give up.

Anxious at heart, while dodging the omnipresent killing intent, he took out palm-sized formation flags from his storage bag.

"Minor Void Breaking Formation! Rise!"

He quickly threw the formation flags toward the surrounding void.

Planning to break formation with formation!

This Minor Void Breaking Formation, similar to the Prohibition Breaking Talisman, also had formation-breaking effects and was something he had bought at great expense.

This formation was also a first-tier superior-grade formation, carrying his last hope.

But soon, hope turned to disappointment, which then transformed into despair.

The effect created by the Minor Void Breaking Formation was similar to the previous Prohibition Breaking Talismans, still failing to break the formation.

"Am I really going to perish here?"

Wei Sen's face was deathly pale, truly unwilling to accept this.

Holding onto a thread of hope, he shouted to the surroundings, "Li Chang'an, I was hired by Zheng Jinbao to kill you. I know you have a grudge against him. As long as you release me, I'm willing to kill him for you!"

However, what responded to him were only wave after wave of invisible killing intent.

Before long, his defensive means were exhausted, and even his magical power was running out.

At this moment, another twisted killing intent emerged.

This time he couldn't dodge it.

"Crack!"

His right arm was completely severed, warm blood gushed out, instantly staining the courtyard ground red.

Wei Sen's face turned ashen as he staggered.

At that very instant, several killing intents swept across in succession, cleanly severing his left arm and both legs.

Thud!

He instantly became a human stick, his expression miserable as he fell into the pool of blood.

Just then, footsteps suddenly sounded from the darkness.

"Tap... tap..."

The puppet body controlled by Li Chang'an walked out from the darkness and came before Wei Sen.

"This guy is really hard to kill."

Li Chang'an observed this person, thinking silently.

If it had been an ordinary late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, they would have likely died in the formation long ago.

But Wei Sen had various methods and had forcibly endured until now!

"Li Chang'an, I admit defeat. Can you give me a way to live?"

Wei Sen's voice was weak.

He seemed like Wang Da from before, wanting to beg for mercy, using any conditions to exchange for his life.

But suddenly, he spat forcefully, cold light flashing from his mouth.

A deadly assassination magical artifact instantly struck toward Li Chang'an's face.

"Still trying to ambush?" Li Chang'an snorted coldly.

If it were another cultivator, even a mid-stage Qi Refining one, they might have fallen to this strike.

But Li Chang'an was fully prepared.

Before the magical artifact could approach him, it was blocked by the spiritual energy shield activated by the soft armor he wore.

"This..."

Wei Sen trembled all over, staring intently at that soft armor.

"Isn't this the soft armor I gave to my nephew? How is it on you?"

"Oh? Could you be Wei Sen, the Third Chief of Black Wind Mountain?"

Li Chang'an's eyes lit up.

It was said that this Wei Sen had a unique escape technique that, when mastered, could even allow escape from a Foundation Establishment ancestor's hands.

Who would have thought that the person Zheng Jinbao hired would actually be him!

"What a coincidence. Perfect timing to send you uncle and nephew for a reunion!"

Li Chang'an couldn't help but laugh.

Upon hearing this, Wei Sen's face turned ashen as he guessed his nephew's fate.

In the next instant, a sword qi swept across his neck.

"I originally wanted to ask you about Zheng Jinbao's situation, but since you won't cooperate, forget it."

Li Chang'an crouched down, skillfully looting the corpse and taking Wei Sen's storage bag.

Due to the previous battle, the spiritual medicines, pills, and talismans in the storage bag had been consumed to almost nothing.

But Li Chang'an didn't mind too much.

These cultivation resources, he could slowly earn himself.

What he cared about was that legendary escape technique.

Soon, he found what he wanted from the storage bag.

"Minor Five Elements Escape Technique!"

Li Chang'an's eyes lit up with joy as he stared at the spell manual he had found.

"Escape techniques are already extremely rare, and this is actually a superior-grade escape technique!"

Having cultivated for more than ten years now, this was the first superior-grade spell he had obtained!
