Chapter 988: 647 Chapter Assassination_2
As he recovered from the madness induced by drinking the Blood Wine, the Evil Formation Master's Divine Sense was mixed with clarity and confusion. He was about to look toward the Yuan Magnetic Core.
Suddenly, a chill spread across his chest.
He looked down and saw the tip of a blade protruding from his chest.
At the same time, a blast of Wind-System Spiritual Power transformed into fine blades that exploded on his chest, shredding the flesh and meridians around his heart.
A chill went down the Evil Formation Master's spine.
Assassination!
He found it hard to believe.
In the secret Yuan Magnetic chamber within the sacrificial Demon Hall, located in the solitary Demon's Cave on the remote cliff of the otherworldly Mountain of Bi...
Could someone be assassinating him?
How was that possible?
Yet the tip of the blade at his chest, the excruciating pain, and the profound presence of the Cultivator behind him all told him that it was an ironclad fact.
Moreover, his assassin was a powerful Golden Core Cultivator!
"I'm going to die!"
The Evil Formation Master was terrified.
He wanted to shout loudly.
A slender and pale hand clutched his throat tightly.
The hand, imbued with strong Spiritual Power, pressed on his throat, rendering him unable to speak.
The Evil Formation Master's eyes suddenly widened.
In a flash, he bit the tip of his tongue, using the fresh blood to stimulate his Divine Sense, ensuring his thoughts remained clear.
At the same time, his eyes abruptly turned red, their appearance grotesquely altered, resembling the eyeball soaking in the wine pot.
A wave of unknown, blood-colored Divine Sense slowly began to spread...
Divine Sense Evil Art!
But before the blood-colored Divine Sense could spread, a clang of an iron rod brutally struck his forehead.
Gu An remembered Mo Hua's instructions, to strike his head fiercely with a rod if the Evil Formation Master's Divine Sense seemed abnormal.
The blow of the iron rod numbed the scalp of the Evil Formation Master.
Gu An practiced Body Cultivation, and his strength was immense.
However, the Evil Formation Master was not a Body Cultivator.
His physical body couldn't withstand the blow.
Blood flowed from his head, sending waves of severe pain.
The Evil Formation Master's Divine Sense faltered.
His sinister Divine Sense Evil Art, just having been activated, was immediately interrupted.
Yet, moments later, the bizarre, blood-colored Divine Thought Power he borrowed from the blood-soaked eyes began to revive his Divine Sense.
He slid one hand into his sleeve, attempting to stealthily reach for his Letter Token.
He thought his movement was very subtle.
Just then, a crisp voice sounded:
"Hand!"
The Evil Formation Master hadn't reacted before he felt pain in his arm.
Gu An struck with the rod, breaking his arm and causing his Letter Token to fall to the ground.
Undeterred, the Evil Formation Master reached for his Storage Bag with his other hand.
That damned voice sounded again.
"Another hand!"
Before the words had faded, Gu An struck with another blow, breaking the Evil Formation Master's other arm as well.
The Evil Formation Master was both shocked and angry.
He felt as if all his movements were anticipated by someone.
Goddamn it!
A surge of anger burned inside the Evil Formation Master.
Just as he thought to move, he found his body paralyzed and unable to move.
Threads of poison had already seeped from Gu Changhuai's blade tip into the Evil Formation Master's bloodstream, spreading gradually throughout his body.
Poisoned?!
Using poison, too?!
A Golden Core Cultivator assassinating a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and even using poison?
How could there be such despicable and shameless people in this world?!
"It's too late now..."
The Evil Formation Master grimly bit off his own tongue, swallowing the red blood into his stomach.
His blood was like the sinister wine.
As the Blood Wine entered his belly, his eyeballs bulged completely, becoming distorted and aberrant, resembling a demon's eyes.
Simultaneously, his Divine Sense drastically intensified.
The Evil Formation Master, with these sinister eyes, looked toward the Yuan Magnetic Array Pivot in the center of the secret chamber.
He intended to use the amplified Evil Thoughts to instantly connect with the Array Pivot and, through the Yuan Magnetic Compound Formation, summon all the Demon Cultivators in the entire Demon Palace to surround and annihilate the Cultivator who had assassinated him.
"Rod!"
A crisp voice rang out.
Gu An, looking serious, struck again with the rod.
Although this blow resulted in the Evil Formation Master bleeding profusely from his head, it could not stop his amplified Evil Thoughts.
His Evil Thoughts were still connecting with the Array Pivot.
His eyes were ferocious and deformed, filled with blood vessels, fiercely staring at the central Array Plate.
Just as he was about to succeed, there was a flash of fire from the corner of his eyes.
Two Fireball Techniques burst instantly, one to the left and one to the right, striking his face and scorching his protruding eyes.
With his eyes injured, the Evil Formation Master was in immense pain.
His Evil Thoughts somewhat subsided.
However, even if his eyes were full of charred marks and he couldn't see, his Divine Sense was still able to be projected outward.
The Evil Formation Master then pushed his sinister Divine Sense to its limit, attempting to connect with the Yuan Magnetic Core Array Plate at the center of the secret chamber...
Mo Hua saw this, flashed her silhouette, and immediately stood before the Array Plate, facing the Evil Formation Master, and unfurled a map she had prepared.
In the map was a deep abyss-like Source Pattern.
Five Elements Formation Flow Map!
As the map was unveiled, the Source Pattern seemed to come to life.
Starved for a long time, suppressed and fearful, the Source Pattern, having been discreet for a long time and also neglected by Mo Hua due to low decoding probability, finally saw the light of day again.
In the map, the Source Pattern began to wriggle like the source of a "plague."
Just as the Evil Formation Master's Divine Sense was about to connect with the Array Pivot, it plunged headfirst into the Source Pattern Map.
In that instant, his Divine Sense felt incredibly suppressed.
As if he were immersed in the tide of a "plague."
A chill crawled over the Evil Formation Master's heart, his Divine Sense paused for a moment, instantly feeling like falling into an ice cellar.
He seemed to "see" a five-colored eye slowly opening, its deep pupils coldly watching him.
"What is this?!"
