Chapter 779: Half Step Life and Death
"What’s wrong?"
Hou Muran noticed Jiang Yun’s sudden stiffness, which naturally didn’t escape his attention, making him ask with a bit of confusion.
While speaking, he also looked up following Jiang Yun’s gaze and saw the black small flying insect, his expression changing instantly.
Jiang Yun can think of, he naturally can think of.
And the next moment, Jiang Yun already grabbed Hou Muran’s shoulder, pulled him back towards the large array behind them.
But at that moment, a cold voice suddenly came from the sky, "Where do you think you’re going!"
The voice was like thunder, directly shattering the black little insect into a black smoke.
A huge hand stretched out from the black smoke, reaching towards Jiang Yun and Hou Muran.
The hand emitted a chilling coldness, freezing everything it touched into white ice crystals.
Even Jiang Yun and Hou Muran’s bodies were covered in ice crystals, completely frozen and unable to move.
They were only half a step away from the large array behind them!
This half step was like the boundary between life and death, crossing it meant living, failing meant death!
Looking at the hand that was getting closer and closer to him, Jiang Yun couldn’t help but sigh in resignation!
He knew instinctively that this hand belonged to Yue Qing!
At this moment, it was clear that Yue Qing was giving it his all!
Faced with a full-force palm strike from a cultivator in the Daoxing Realm, he knew he couldn’t withstand it or dodge it. All he could do was wait for the hand to grab him.
Being captured was one thing, but what really worried Jiang Yun was the thought of Hou Muran getting involved because of him.
If he hadn’t left the formation side by side with Hou Muran, the sight of Hou Muran alone might not have provoked Yue Qing to act!
However, it was too late to mention all this now.
Just as Jiang Yun was about to give up resistance, he suddenly felt a faint surge of energy entering his body.
Though the energy was weak, it felt like a needle piercing through the countless ice crystals covering his dantian area.
The thousand-mile embankment collapsed due to an ant hole!
Although just a tiny needle eye, it caused a slight loosening in Jiang Yun’s frozen cultivation!
Therefore, in an instant, all his cultivation inside him erupted, breaking most of the ice crystals on his body, finally allowing his body to move.
Jiang Yun’s palm exerted force again, and he and Hou Muran’s bodies finally managed to take a difficult half step backwards and fell back into the formation!
Outside the formation, Yue Qing’s hand naturally grabbed air.
This made Yue Qing’s angry roar resonate in the sky again, "Damn it!"
In the next moment, Yue Qing’s figure finally appeared in the sky, staring coldly at the large formation below.
At this moment, all Yue Qing could see in his eyes were countless random rocks scattered on the ground. He couldn’t see Jiang Yun and Hou Muran’s figures at all, nor feel their presence.
The large formation set up by Hou Muran was a new formation he comprehended after exchanging insights with Xue Mucheng in the "Golden Path World".
In the midst of the formation, even the incredibly powerful blood demon suppressed here can’t escape unnoticed, let alone Yue Qing.
However, Yue Qing naturally noticed a formation below.
It was certain that Jiang Yun was hiding within this formation, his eyes gleaming coldly as he sat cross-legged on numerous scattered rocks, carefully examining the formation with his divine sense.
Meanwhile, within the formation, Jiang Yun and Hou Muran, who had regained their mobility, remained stiff and lying on the ground, watching Yue Qing seated cross-legged in the sky.
Jiang Yun felt his back completely drenched in cold sweat.
At that moment, he finally experienced the feeling of despair firsthand!
However, what he wanted to know more than anything was the power that rescued him from despair, and where it came from!
Although not certain, Jiang Yun had a vague guess in his heart.
Blood demon!
If it wasn’t for the conversation with Hou Muran before, maybe he wouldn’t have thought about the blood demon.
But now that he knows this trial is where the blood demon is sealed, only the blood demon’s actions can free Yue Qing, a cultivator from the Daoxing Realm.
In fact, five days ago, when Yue Qing’s divine sense suddenly disappeared from himself, it was likely the blood demon secretly helping.
However, Jiang Yun doesn’t understand why the blood demon would help him.
At this moment, Hou Muran finally came to his senses and said with a sigh, "Taoist Friend Jiang, this must be why you didn’t want to travel with me, right?"
Clearly, this brief life and death experience made Hou Muran finally understand Jiang Yun’s concerns.
Jiang Yun nodded with a bitter smile, "Yes, I didn’t want to trouble my taoist friend, but it seems I already have."
"Is he from the Dao God Temple?"
"Yes, a Boundary Patroller, he’s the one who sent me to the Dao Prison."
"Why does he want to come and hurt you now?"
"Because he got hurt by me when he tried to catch me!"
Jiang Yun’s answer made Hou Muran suddenly turn to look at him, his face showing an expression of disbelief openly.
As a former disciple of the Zhen Dao Sect, he naturally knew the strength required to become a Dao God Temple Boundary Patroller, at least at the level of Daoxing Realm.
If Jiang Yun could injure someone at the Daoxing Realm, then his strength…
"My strength is not as high as you think. I am only at the Tao Spiritual Realm level. It was just a lucky chance, along with some preparations I made, that allowed me to injure him. But in the end, he still managed to send me to Dao Prison."
Even though Jiang Yun spoke lightly, Hou Muran knew that this was his modesty speaking.
Not to mention that Jiang Yun is only at the Tao Spiritual Realm level, even if he were at the level of the Sky Blessed Realm, Hou Muran had never heard of anyone managing to injure a strong Daoxing Realm practitioner by sheer luck.
Hou Muran shook his head and decided not to pursue further questions about Jiang Yun’s strength, instead asking, "So, what should we do now?"
"If you break through their formation with brute force, how long can it hold up?"
"His strength is high, but he hasn’t reached the Daoxing Realm. He is like us, suppressed in cultivation level."
"He has at most the strength of the later stage of the Sky Blessed Realm. Even with his full force attacking the formation, it can hold out for at least half an hour."
Hou Muran’s analytical skills are impressive. He deduced these circumstances simply from Yue Qing’s one move.
"Half an hour!" Jiang Yun stood up, frowning.
Even with half an hour of buffer, it’s impossible to escape from Yue Qing’s grasp.
Trying to fight Yue Qing, even with Hou Muran’s help, they both have no chance of winning. The current situation is still dire.
As soon as Jiang Yun finished speaking, Yue Qing in the sky suddenly stood up.
His eyes shone brightly, then he raised his foot and stomped heavily on the ground below.
"Boom!"
A loud noise was heard, and a huge crack appeared on the ground, spreading wildly towards the scattered rocks.
Clearly, Yue Qing had started using his powerful skills to break the formation directly.
