The Tale of the Devil Sword

The problem Kylo faced was his cultivation level.

He could use his {Soul sense} only to see what naked eyes could see, hear what mortals people would hear and converse how normally people converse.

The only advantage was that he can see wider area. Normally people could not see and listen for thousands of kilo meters. And Kylo could do it only because of Primordial energy.

Had his cultivation level been higher he could have already sensed the Devil Qi and would not be afraid of these group.

Now hearing this voice along with the earlier pressure everyone was scared.

Earlier xia changhe was about to slash the sword energy to check out for traps. He never thought there would be someone of this level here.

"We apologise for the disturbance senior" Ning jing clasped her hands towards the voice before continuing "We are just local cultivators who arrived here because all types of energies throughout the domain was absorbed here."

[As expected something big happened when I was 'by mistakenly' send here.

Well I want to know more but if I ask them who knows what'll be the consequence. If I scare them enough they might return.

But who knows if they'll attack the cave... or maybe they will just return with more troops]

"Ummm... senior?" Kylo's thoughts were interrupted by Ning jing's question. Kylo said nothing and suddenly shot a beam made of mana towards Ning jing.

Ning jing was shocked and she didn't had enough time to react to the sneak attack.

Actually Ning jing was strong enough to stop the attacks but because of the earlier pressure along with the voice that was filled with the killing intent it momentarily confused her and it was this moment that Kylo used to attack her.

Just when the beam was about to hit Ning Jing she saw the surrounding Mana became a shield blocking the beam.

It was Avery who made the shield. Avery snorted and said in her neutral voice "What senior, he is just a pretender otherwise why would he sneak attack. Let's just attack together for now".

Everyone nodded their heads. Xia changhe charged his sword again but this time it was 80% of his original strength.

Freya took out a staff and chanted a spell within 2 seconds. It was a wind element attack. Similarly everyone using their speciality started attacking.

The most peculiar was Tang sanzang's attack. It was earlier said that he had attained Buddhism so one should expect some mantra attack but surprisingly his attainment had a mixture of demonism as well.

Even the Devil Emperor was a little surprised by the attack.... But that's it. He soon broke into a malicious grin. Had the group been able to see his grin they would have immediately backed off, that's just how creepy it was.

But it was their bad luck that they weren't able to see him. Even if Kylo was out of his sword, he was still inside the cave. And even if the cave became weak it was strong enough to prevent outsiders from peeking inside the cave.

"Let's see how long you prete--" Just when Freya was about to finish she was stunned once again by the scene unfolding in front of them.

It was not just her, everyone including Avery was stunned. Because the moment they attacked they were prepared for some type of barrier to prevent their attack.

Every special place has some sort of barrier to prevent from outside attack. And they were sure because they weren't fool enough to just start attacking. They earlier used their own methods to see inside but they were not able to.

Now they are seeing their attack was going normally through the cave. The cave wall opened, the attack passed through and the wall closed again.

There was a moment of silence before Malkam broke it "What just happened there?"

"Was this a trap?" Freya muttered in an uneasy tone.

"Even if this is a trap you should have seen that person's earlier attack. That wasn't anything at all" Said Avery in a little unconfident tone.

It was at this moment when everyone was feeling uneasy that a formation appeared below them.

The strength of the formation could not be seen by anyone in the group.

And before they could take any action they were already sealed inside the formation.

Everyone attacked with their strongest moves but to no avail. Intentionally or unintentionally Tang sanzang was somehow the only one being pressured the most.

Avery looked towards the snake but the snake just shook his head indicating even he doesn't know anything about the formation, be it its strength or its usage.

Avery said nothing and turned towards everyone before saying "We should all not just attack selfishly anywhere we want. Let's find out a weak spot of the formation first before everyone combine their attack together."

Even though the reasoning was logical, some were still dissatisfied by how she was suddenly taking the lead. After all they were all either leaders or a prominent figure.

But they also knew this was not the time to argue over such things.

They silently accepted her suggestion and started finding out for a weak spot.

"This formation is perfect. No weak spot can be found" commented Ning Jing after a while.

"Nothing in this world is absolute. It is just we are weaker to find any weak spots" replied Cia Changhe to Ning Jing's comment.

Tang Sanzang said while gritting his teeth "Let us just attack the top and breakthrough from it"

Everyone including Avery nodded since they neither have any better idea nor do they have time to think more since they are trapped in an unknown formation.

Everybody readied their attacks. And when all of them attacked at the top of the formation

Avery heard someone talking in her mind....

....and she immediately froze..
