Legend of the Transcendent

Chapter 148: Escape

Chapter 148: Escape

Not only one's own cultivation level, but also weapons, formations, talismans, and even luck are all part of one's strength, which is recognized by every cultivator.

During their exchange, the formation changed again.

In an instant, Chen Shouyi felt himself being pulled into a forest.

It was a strange forest, with towering trees reaching into the sky. Each tree had a thick trunk, and the most peculiar thing was the branches. Each branch was like a sharp sword, densely inserted into the green wooden trunk. There were no leaves on any of the trees, and the silence was maddening. There was almost no sound.

Chen Shouyi felt a chill in his heart and tried to attack with his magical sword. With just one strike, several large trees were shattered. Under the attack of the magical sword, these trees instantly turned into broken wood and then into clusters of green smoke, floating on the ground. The more trees Chen Shouyi shattered, the more green smoke there was. In his field of vision, the originally boundless green wood gradually became blurred.

Useless!

Chen Shouyi gradually lost patience. He felt that no matter what, he couldn't crack this formation. Continuing to entangle would only result in more deaths and fewer lives. This thought couldn't be suppressed.

Mi Xiaojing was also at a critical moment. He needed to mobilize the formation and gather his strength for one strike, which took a relatively long time to prepare.

Chen Shouyi had already realized this and didn't intend to continue entangling. Even if the Qianji Plate was precious, it was not as precious as his own life. Once he lost his life, the Qianji Plate would become someone else's spoils of war. He could obtain it again in the future, but without his life, he would have nothing.

Chen Shouyi was very clear about this point, so he didn't hesitate at all and used the Qianji Plate.

The Qianji Plate was a one-time treasure used for escape. It was much inferior to the level of a substitute death puppet, but it was very effective for escaping, especially in formations. It could instantly escape from the envelopment of a large formation. Of course, not all formations could be escaped from.

But the Green Wood Formation was not a top-notch formation. The Qianji Plate could still escape from it. Especially now that the Green Wood Formation was transforming and accumulating power, preparing to kill the enemy with one strike. During the preparation phase, the attack power of the formation was almost nonexistent, which gave Chen Shouyi an opportunity.

Just at this moment, Chen Shouyi also figured it out and released the Qianji Plate.

The Qianji Plate was a one-time use item, and it also consumed a spiritual ghost. It was impossible not to feel heartache. Just a single spiritual ghost required Chen Shouyi to spend a lot of time and energy to cultivate.

The spiritual ghost in the Qianji Plate had no intelligence and relied solely on instinctive activities. True spiritual ghosts were not like this. True spiritual ghosts had wisdom and were even smarter than some cultivators. If such a spiritual ghost was put into the Qianji Plate, then the Qianji Plate would be unusable. No spiritual ghost would be willing to sacrifice itself.

The appearance of the Qianji Plate was a palm-sized round disc, dark green in color, with layers of spiritual patterns and prohibitions on it. In fact, the Qianji Plate was a miniaturized teleportation array. Its core power came from the spiritual ghost. Once activated, all the energy of the spiritual ghost would erupt, and the Qianji Plate would start, teleporting the person randomly, with a maximum distance of a hundred miles.

If the formation was strong, then the location of the teleportation might be closer, maybe ten miles or five miles, it was uncertain.

When Chen Shouyi took out the Qianji Plate, Mi Xiaojing immediately saw it and exclaimed, "What is this thing?"

Wang Weijun also noticed something was wrong. He recognized it at a glance and couldn't help but be surprised, "Qianji Plate? Yes, it's the Qianji Plate. Kid, your luck is really bad. Every time you encounter something like this, Hong Qing has the substitute death puppet, this guy has the Qianji Plate. I'm really curious, how do these guys all have such rare treasures?"

Soon, Wang Weijun realized that spirit pills were valuable no matter where they were. It wasn't strange for two alchemists to have some good things. In the cultivation world, alchemists were definitely part of the wealthy class, and their numbers were not many.

"Kid, don't use the most powerful killing move. It's useless. This guy has already activated the Qianji Plate. It's a pity for such a one-time treasure... What a pity..."

"He..."

Mi Xiaojing felt a panic. If Chen Shouyi escaped, his future would be difficult. The other party was an elder of the Grass-Benevolence Hall. Although he had the support of the Grand Elder now, if a Foundation Establishment Ancestor wanted to make things difficult for him or even kill him, his life would definitely be difficult.

"Can we stop him from escaping?"

"It's too late and impossible. Unfortunately, you're only at the Foundation Establishment stage. If it were a Foundation Establishment Ancestor using the Green Wood Formation, he wouldn't have any chance at all. He wouldn't even have the time to use the Qianji Plate."

Unlike Hong Qing, after Chen Shouyi activated the Qianji Plate, he didn't say a word. He just looked around with a resentful gaze. This time, he would definitely be seriously injured.

Wang Weijun sighed, "In the cultivation world, it's not easy to kill someone with a certain level of cultivation!" Thinking of how he was easily destroyed by two powerful experts, he also had a bitter feeling. Why didn't he collect more treasures and spiritual weapons for escape? Overconfidence and high strength also had weaknesses!

Mi Xiaojing stopped his magical technique and incantation. Once he truly activated the killing move of the Green Wood Formation, the consumption of spirit stones would make Mi Xiaojing dizzy. Since he couldn't stop Chen Shouyi from escaping, he had to save some.

Chen Shouyi stood on the Qianji Plate.

After the Qianji Plate was activated, a purple halo rose from it, completely enveloping Chen Shouyi. This was the prelude to teleportation.

Chen Shouyi glanced at the front again. Although he didn't know where Mi Xiaojing was, his anger was evident. When the purple halo enveloped him, he resentfully used an incantation. In an instant, a mournful scream came from the Qianji Plate.

With a loud bang, the purple light burst out, and in an instant, Chen Shouyi disappeared without a trace.

Mi Xiaojing and Wang Weijun both saw this scene because the Green Wood Formation couldn't block Mi Xiaojing's line of sight.If the people in the sect knew that Mi Xiaojing could actually fight against a Foundation Establishment Ancestor, and even forced a Foundation Establishment expert to flee with a single Formation, it would probably cause a huge sensation. However, no one knows about it now.

Mi Xiaojing cast two consecutive Magical Techniques, and the previously charged Formation once again transformed, gradually calming down.

It took Xiaojing a bit of time to stop the Formation from operating. After all, the Qingmu Formation was almost pushed to its limit. Once the final killing move appeared, Chen Shouyi would basically have no hope of survival. It was a continuous strangulation, and there was absolutely no chance to activate the Qianji Disk.

So it can be said that Chen Shouyi was lucky. He reacted in advance, made a decisive decision, sacrificed a treasure, and escaped with his life. (To be continued.)
