Chapter 2450: Chapter 2453: Who’s Getting the Better of Whom

”Escape? Who said I was going to run away? Since a few more deaths in the Abandoned Plains won’t be noticed, you can all go to hell!”

Jiang Chen sneered coldly, his body moved swiftly, grabbing the back collar of Jin Hu and abruptly pulling back, Yan Hu following closely behind.

Jin Hu was in a standoff with Chen Kang, completely unprepared for Jiang Chen’s sudden action, and was dragged nearly a hundred meters away.

”Trying to run? Stop them! Kill everyone except Jiang Chen!”

Zhang Chuzhi shouted loudly.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Chen Kang and others leaped up, hurriedly chasing Jiang Chen and the two others.

”Activate the formation!”

Jiang Chen suddenly halted, releasing Jin Hu, forming a hand seal, and shouted in a low voice.

Buzz!

The space trembled, and a light barrier unexpectedly emerged, enveloping Chen Kang and the others.

”A Defensive Great Formation? Haha, don’t you know it’s easy to break a defensive formation from the inside?”

Chen Kang, who was in pursuit, sneered, swinging his longsword toward the light barrier in front of him.

Bang!

A dull sound echoed, causing the light barrier in front of Chen Kang to tremble twice before returning to its original state, without a hint of breaking.

”How is this possible?!”

Chen Kang’s expression changed slightly, exclaiming in surprise.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Zhang Chuzhi and others swiftly appeared at the edge of the formation, eyebrows furrowing lightly as they extended their divine senses toward the light barrier.

Jiang Chen spoke indifferently, ”It’s true that a defensive great formation can easily be destroyed from the inside, but who told you this was the earlier defensive formation?”

”Is this... a Killing Array?”

After probing the formation, Zhang Chuzhi’s face suddenly changed, staring intently at Jiang Chen, ”You were prepared for this?”

”This thing is quite magical, but using it causes a slight spatial fluctuation. Those who haven’t comprehended the Spatial Path would find it hard to detect.”

Jiang Chen took out the compass given to him by Jin Lao from the space ring, shook it lightly, and glanced at the three members of the Golden Spear Adventure Group.

One of the Golden Spear Adventure Group members’ face changed, taking out a similar-looking compass from his chest.

”Lin Cheng, have you been exposing our location all along?”

Upon seeing the compass, Jin Hu’s face changed dramatically, shouting angrily.

Jiang Chen looked at Jin Hu with some surprise, an expression of astonishment in his eyes.

This guy... just realized it? How did a brain like this survive in an adventure team?

”Jin Hu, without Jin Long, you’re just a fool!”

Chen Kang glanced at Jin Hu, then turned to Jiang Chen, ”Brother, even if you trap us, so what? Do you really dare to kill us? These people are members of the Spirit Sword Sect. If you dare harm them, you’ll be making an enemy of the entire Spirit Sword Sect, and you’ll face endless pursuit!”

”Didn’t you just say it? It’s normal for people to die on this Abandoned Plain.”

Jiang Chen glanced at Zhang Chuzhi, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes, ”As long as I kill you all, who else would know it was me who killed you?”

”Jiang Chen, don’t think that just because you know a bit of formation techniques you can act wildly. Want to kill us with just that nameless Killing Array of yours?”

Zhang Chuzhi shouted coldly, ”If you’re wise, let us out immediately and then guide us through all the ruins you know. If you perform well, I might recommend you to enter my Spirit Sword Sect. Otherwise, prepare for death!”

”There are many who wish for my death, but they’ve all died before me!”

Jiang Chen sneered, his figure flashing as he leaped to the central position above the formation, placing a single hand on a central Eight Trigrams Diagram, infusing it with pure spiritual power.

”What do you intend to do? Do you really dare to attack us?”

Zhang Chuzhi’s expression shifted, shouting loudly.

When he probed the formation earlier, he had sensed its extraordinary nature, believing its power to be formidable, but he never expected Jiang Chen would actually dare to activate it.

”Nine Revolutions Qiankun Slash!”

Jiang Chen responded to Zhang Chuzhi’s words with action.

Buzz!

The light barrier of the formation suddenly brightened, and the Eight Trigrams Diagram instantly expanded, enveloping the entire formation.

”Jiang Chen, if you dare kill us, you will surely be wanted by the Spirit Sword Sect! This is not a threat, it’s a fact!”

From the Eight Trigrams Diagram, Zhang Chuzhi sensed a deadly threat, urgently shouting in panic.

”Leader! We were wrong! Save us!”

”Leader, save us!”

The three members of the Golden Spear Adventure Group also cried out in a panic.

Jin Hu’s expression changed slightly; from the formation’s fluctuations, he too sensed extreme danger. He understood that once the formation fully erupted, no one inside could survive.

Shocked by the formation’s power, a trace of hesitation appeared in Jin Hu’s eyes. Watching the panicked three members, a look of struggle crossed his face.

”Betrayal is only a matter of zero times and countless times!”

Yan Hu glanced at Jin Hu, speaking indifferently.

Jin Hu’s heart trembled; he looked at Yan Hu, gritting his teeth, and turned away, not looking at the three people.

Though not very bright, Jin Hu wasn’t dumb. After years of following his brother and experiencing numerous betrayals in the Abandoned Plains, he just never expected he’d encounter such a situation himself.

Jiang Chen didn’t immediately unleash the formation but waited for Jin Hu, noticing that Jin Hu made his decision, he smiled slightly.

He was willing to befriend Jin Hu for his integrity. However, integrity doesn’t mean benevolence. If Jin Hu had pleaded for the three Golden Spear Adventure Group members, Jiang Chen would have spared them, but he would have been somewhat disappointed in Jin Hu, and perhaps he wouldn’t have ventured into the depths of the plain with him.

After all, the cultivation world is cruel; sometimes, benevolence doesn’t just harm oneself but also those around you!

”Slash!”

Jiang Chen shouted lowly, activating the formation.

Crash!

The Eight Trigrams Diagram shimmered brilliantly, descending ferociously.

”No!”

”Jiang Chen, spare our lives!”

”You’ll regret this!”

Panic-stricken shouts echoed.

Rumble!

The Eight Trigrams Diagram descended, over a hundred spirit stones turning to powder simultaneously, and within that hundred-meter radius, there were no more shadows, leaving only a flat land adorned with spots of blood.

Whoosh!

Jiang Chen landed beside Yan Hu and the others, softly urging, ”Let’s go.”

Swish!

Suddenly, a blood-red light shot out sharply from the bloodstained land, charging ferociously at Jiang Chen.

”Young Master, be careful!”

Yan Hu’s face changed abruptly; his figure flashed to Jiang Chen’s side, lightning crackling as his fist, charged with violent thunderous force, struck fiercely at the blood light.
