Chapter 26: 188 for Instant KillâWhat More Needs to Be Said?
The moment he saw the prompt âYou can freely manipulate formations and talismansâ, a peculiar grin spread across Chen Huaiâanâs face.
As a premium player, wasnât the whole point of spending money to crush bosses effortlessly?
âThunderfire Incineration Formation, stop hidingâactivate it!â
Cangyun Realm
A commanding voice echoed above a small hut:
âThunderfire Incineration Formation, activate!â
From Ye Futianâs perspective, glowing purple formations appeared across the ground within a hundred-mile radius of the hut. From these formation patterns, thunder and fire burst forth, intertwining into a massive circle that trapped him and the hut within its boundaries.
A slight sense of danger arose in his heart, though not enough to alarm him.
Ye Futian was a cautious man. After all, it was this very caution that had allowed him to evade death countless times while being hunted by righteous cultivators. Many others of the demonic path in his place would have long been torn to shreds.
In the past, even the slightest threat would have sent him fleeing.
But today was different.
The temptation before him was simply too great.
A Supreme Dantian!
If he could obtain this body, what did the bottleneck that had plagued him for years amount to? He wouldnât even hesitate to disperse his cultivation and start anew if necessary.
The spiritual energy in Cangyun Realm was dwindling, and rare treasures alone could no longer provide the breakthrough he needed.
Fortune favors the bold.
Even if every elder of the Qingyun Sect were to arrive today, he would still take the risk!
âHa! Just a mere formation trying to stop me?â
Ye Futianâs figure was obscured by demonic energy, his voice emanating from within. The demonic energy surged and condensed into a bloody demonic palm that launched toward the hutâs roof. As it descended with a force akin to Mount Tai, a violent gale scattered sand and gravel, and the surrounding vegetation bent low. êðªÎο฿Äð´
Inside the hut, Li Qingran felt a chilling fear climb up her spine, her breathing turning labored under the oppressive force.
The demonic palm slammed into the formation. The formation patterns flickered momentarily but held firm without breaking.
âWhat the h*ck!â Chen Huaiâan jumped in fright, staring at his phone.
He had only just begun figuring out how to operate the formation when the boss launched its attack.
âThis old geezer doesnât play fair!â
âFine, letâs start with a few celestial-grade Thunderfire Talismans!â
With a flurry of taps on his phone, Chen Huaiâan activated three talismans placed on the hutâs walls and door. The talismans shot out like arrows, aiming straight for the demonic energy cloud.
Ye Futian didnât even flinch at the three talismans. His mind was focused on the formation, which had withstood his full-strength strikeâa clear indicator of its high quality. He knew how troublesome formation masters could be. If given the choice, he would avoid crossing paths with one altogether.
He began charging a second strike with full force, aiming for a swift victory.
The technique he employed was the Blood Cloud Palm, a low-tier earth-grade skill with a unique ability to corrode spiritual energy. Those struck by it would find their spiritual energy increasingly consumed by the demonic energy of the palm.
This effect worked on formations too.
In no time, the three talismans reached Ye Futian. As their golden light surged, thunder boomed.
âWait, these are celestial-grade!â Ye Futianâs scalp tingled, but it was too late to adjust his move.
The celestial-grade Thunderfire Talismans detonated midair, unleashing a storm of thunder and fire that engulfed the blood cloud entirely.
Meanwhile, Chen Huaiâan had finally figured out how to operate the formation. His phone displayed a keyboard interface. Following the given prompts, he began inputting a sequence of Chinese and English combinations. Each correct input triggered a new burst of the formationâs power.
âThis is childâs play for me!â Chen Huaiâan boasted.
In the past, he wouldnât have been so confident. But ever since mastering acupuncture, his hands had become both fast and steady. He even wondered if he could break records in rhythm games.
Chen Huaiâanâs fingers flew across the screen.
[Come isæ¥ï¼Goæ¯å»~]
A thunderbolt from the formation struck Ye Futian squarely in the face before he could recover from the previous attack.
[Nod is Yes, Shake is No~]
[To greet someone, say Hello, Hello Hello, Ha Ha Hello~]
As Chen Huaiâanâs typing speed increased, so did the frequency of the thunderbolts. Though the formation alone couldnât instantly kill Ye Futian, the sheer number of attacks gradually wore him down.
Soon, the demonic cloud dissipated, revealing a charred, tattered, and disheveled old man with white hair resembling a dandelion.
âArrrghâenough! Iâll kill you!!!â
Furious, Ye Futian abandoned all pretense. He leaped onto the hutâs roof, his dark hands spreading out before him.
A surge of demonic energy formed a colossal figure behind himâa ferocious, blue-faced avatar with razor-sharp fangs. The avatarâs actions mirrored Ye Futianâs, pressing forward with a gigantic claw.
The immense pressure shattered the formationâs glowing patterns, breaking it apart.
To Chen Huaiâanâs surprise, the boss entered a new phase. âWow, three-stage transformation? This boss is something else!â
Still, Chen Huaiâan wasnât worried. After all, he had bought the premium package. Victory was guaranteed.
Inside the hut, Li Qingran gripped her sleeves tightly, her face pale. She anxiously warned, âSenior, demonic cultivators are cunning. Be wary of hidden tricks!â
Her voice trembled with guilt. She had no power to intervene, only able to pray that the senior wouldnât get injured.
As the fight escalated, Chen Huaiâan unleashed his trump cardâthe Nine Suns Purple Thunder Talisman, a tool capable of summoning heavenly lightning.
Thunderclouds gathered in the sky, and a purple lightning dragon descended with terrifying force. The lightning obliterated Ye Futian, draining the bossâs health bar in an instant.
Chen Huaiâan smirked, blowing on his fingers like a gunslinger.
âTsk, thatâs it? Looked tough, but... 188 bucks for an instant kill. Whatâs there to say?â
Meanwhile, in Qingyun Sect, Sect Master Wu Duantian gazed at the sky, feeling the intense spiritual energy rippling through the heavens.
âThis... this must be the same expert who crafted that divine elixir!â
Hope reignited in his heart. Turning to his bedridden disciple Zhao Lingtian, he declared, âThis is our last chance. If we can gain that seniorâs help, your dantian might still be saved!â
