Although Mo Fan had escaped into the ground, he observed the situation outside clearly with his divine sense.
He was not trying to flee, but wanted to verify his conjecture in this way.
When his divine sense detected the moment those two Core Formation cultivators suddenly struck, he understood.
These fellows were indeed coming for him!
In Mo Fan’s divine sense, he saw one Core Formation cultivator leap into the air, forming seals with both hands, and a glowing diagram resembling the Eight Trigrams instantly appeared before him.
As the cultivator changed his hand seals, countless flying needles shot out densely from the Eight Trigrams diagram.
This was somewhat similar to Mo Fan’s Dragon Whisker Needles.
“Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish…!!”
The next moment, a series of whooshing sounds emerged.
Seeing the magical treasure coming fiercely, Mo Fan immediately used his earth-escaping divine ability to frantically burrow through the ground.
The directions he travelled were also very particular, specifically heading below the positions where those Foundation Building cultivators stood.
“What a cunning monster!”
In the air, the Core Formation cultivator frowned slightly, his divine sense had already locked onto Mo Fan firmly, and in an instant, he understood Mo Fan’s intention.
“But do you think by doing this, this seat will hold back out of fear?”
“Too naive!”
The Core Formation cultivator snorted coldly, completely disregarding the lives of those Foundation Building cultivators, and continued to manipulate the Eight Trigrams diagram in front of him to sweep across.
Thus, a terrifying scene unfolded, some Foundation Building cultivators were turned into sieves by the magical treasure before they could even react.
“Senior, what are you doing?!”
Many cultivators were stunned on the spot, chills running down their spines.
However, the Core Formation cultivator said nothing, turned his head, and attacked another group of Foundation Building cultivators.
Because his divine sense had captured that the fellow underground was now below those cultivators.
But the moment he struck, the faces of all the Foundation Building cultivators present changed drastically.
They did not have the vast divine sense of a Core Formation cultivator and could not detect movements several zhang below.
“Not good, he wants to use this opportunity to eliminate us!!”
“Damn it! I knew these Core Formation cultivators were unreliable!”
“I understand, even if a Core Formation cultivator enters the Dragon Ruins, their cultivation will be restricted to the Foundation Building stage, so he wants to eliminate us in advance to avoid being surrounded and attacked by us after entering the Dragon Ruins!”
The group of Foundation Building cultivators were filled with shock and anger, and even imagined the reason why the Core Formation cultivator was attacking them.
“Ridiculous!”
The Core Formation cultivator merely sneered upon hearing this, as a Core Formation cultivator, he had his own unique pride, and naturally would not explain anything to this group of Foundation Building cultivators.
In his eyes, the lives of these Foundation Building cultivators were unimportant.
As long as he could kill or even capture the monster underground, what harm was there in massacring this group of Foundation Building cultivators?
“Everyone attack together, kill him!”
“So what if he’s a Core Formation cultivator?”
“Since he doesn’t want us to live, we don’t need to care about his mood anymore, attack together, kill him, and everything on him will be ours!”
A sudden voice rang out from the crowd, instantly stirring the emotions of the Foundation Building cultivators.
“Kill!!”
No one knew who shouted first, but the cultivators all attacked the Core Formation cultivator in the sky, sacrificing their respective magical artifacts or powerful spells.
For a time, the entire ground was filled with overflowing streams of light and crisscrossing treasure glows!
The Core Formation cultivator’s face looked very ugly upon seeing this, he had not expected this group of Foundation Building cultivators to dare attack him.
“A bunch of ignorant fools, this seat will let you see the difference between cloud and mud!”
“The power of a Core Formation cultivator is forever beyond comparison for you pitiful insects!”
With a cold snort from the Core Formation cultivator, his entire body instantly rose hundreds of zhang into the air, his hands quickly forming seals, silently chanting incantations.
Buzz…
A humming sound emerged, the glowing Eight Trigrams diagram in front of him grew with the wind, becoming ten zhang in size, emitting an inexplicable pressure.
“Kill!”
The Core Formation cultivator shouted lowly, and the thin needles turned into endless streams of light, covering the entire ground.
Not far away, Cang Gu frowned slightly, waved his hand casually, and a jade talisman instantly flew out from his storage bag at his waist, hovering above his head, an invisible force burst from the jade talisman, enveloping his entire body, forming a miniature barrier.
The next moment, the endless needles came like a storm, but they could not break through the jade talisman barrier around Cang Gu’s body.
In contrast, those Foundation Building cultivators were miserable, more than half died or were injured in an instant, only a few Foundation Building perfection cultivators barely held on with their protective magical artifacts.
“Is this a Core Formation cultivator?”
“The gap between us and him is too great, we can’t fight at all!”
“I’m done, you guys fight if you want! I don’t want the things anymore!”
Soon, some Foundation Building cultivators regretted it and fled on their swords.
“Fellow daoist, you’ve been watching for so long, isn’t it time to contribute a bit?”
The cultivator in the sky suddenly turned his gaze to another cultivator on the side.
The two had agreed earlier to deal with Mo Fan together, but the other had not made any move, which naturally made him dissatisfied.
“Hahaha… Fellow daoist, rest assured, none of these fellows will escape!”
The cultivator immediately laughed loudly, then waved his sleeve, and instantly a golden light shot through the air.
The golden light was extremely fast, like a bolt of lightning, almost instantly cutting down the Foundation Building cultivators fleeing in all directions one by one.
In a short while, all the Foundation Building cultivators here were cleared out.
Finally, the two Core Formation cultivators simultaneously turned their gazes to the only surviving cultivator below.
It was Cang Gu!
Seeing both looking at him, Cang Gu was also helpless, and said rather speechlessly, “Fellow daoists, this is not fair, they were clearly coming for you, harming those Foundation Building cultivators is one thing, but now you plan to harm me too?”
“Brother Cang Gu, you knew from the beginning that these fellows would target me, right?”
Mo Fan’s indifferent voice came from underground.
At this moment, he happened to be below Cang Gu, which was the main reason why the two Core Formation cultivators in the sky were looking at Cang Gu at the same time.
“Are you blaming me for not reminding you?”
Cang Gu’s face revealed a cruel smile upon hearing this.
“No, we are just strangers, it’s normal for you not to remind me, I just want to know why these fellows are fixating on me.” Mo Fan continued to ask.
“I’m not sure either, I think this question is best asked directly to those two fellows, what do you think?”
Cang Gu grinned, then leaped up, instantly leaving his original spot, arriving in mid-air, forming a triangular formation with the two Core Formation cultivators opposite, then smiled at them and said, “Two fellow daoists, I don’t plan to get involved in your affairs, you can continue now.”
From beginning to end, he had not taken these two seriously, instead planning to use them to test the strength of the fellow underground.
While Mo Fan was wary of him, he was equally wary of Mo Fan.
Because he suddenly discovered that Mo Fan, upon returning this time, seemed even stronger than when he last saw him.
And only half a day had passed since their last meeting!
The two Core Formation cultivators merely glanced at Cang Gu, then ignored him, and simultaneously launched attacks at Mo Fan underground.
“Damn fellows, they didn’t fall for it!”
Underground, Mo Fan sighed helplessly, and immediately gave up on continuing to hide, directly escaping to the surface and flying out.
He had already seen that the cultivation of these two Core Formation cultivators was not high, like him, they were all early Core Formation cultivators.
And although the magical treasure looked dazzling, its actual power was not that great.
Of course, for Foundation Building cultivators, it was an irresistible terrifying attack!
Originally, Mo Fan had planned to use these two to test Cang Gu, but unexpectedly, he was tricked by Cang Gu instead.
Since that was the case, then let there be a battle!
