Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 366 Blood Witch

Upon hearing Peng Qiu's voice, Mu Xiang silently adjusted his glasses.

He certainly knew about the Thirteen Blood Witch Formation, but according to Luo Yinglong, it seemed to be a formation that could only be cast by those at the Nascent Soul stage. Unfortunately, it had certain requirements regarding the caster's cultivation level, but its power was not strong; it was more of a skill for easily defeating weaker opponents, only unlocked at a higher level.

[So why was she able to unleash it...? First, the clone Chu Xuan modified her rune pattern, such as the electronic runes just now; second, there are other factors that make this formation easy to use.]

For example... the Netherworld Blood Sea Formation!

Mu Xiang flashed and appeared in front of Peng Qiu, kicking out. Mu Xiang had no sentimentality towards women, nor was he old enough to do so... His impartial kick caused the space to tremble, and as Peng Qiu was about to be hit, her protective gear even began to glow.

The next moment, in Peng Qiu's panicked yet composed gaze, a spray of blood bloomed before Mu Xiang's eyes—a sea of ​​blood surging back. This sea of ​​blood, like a giant hand, forcefully blocked Mu Xiang's kick.

When Mu Xiang kicked away the wave of blood, the impact felt by Zhan Lan and the others lessened considerably.

"This formation seems to be designed to target you, otherwise we would have been immobilized long ago," Zhan Lan's thoughtful voice echoed in Mu Xiang's mind. "What do you think?"

Mu Xiang replied, "Obviously, this incomplete Netherworld Blood Sea Formation has limitations on its output. If it were given to you, the limitations on me would be completely insufficient. I could easily kill the caster... but even if it were used on me, it wouldn't be enough to limit me much."

He swung his sword back, but Ji Yue blocked the incoming purplish-black giant blade from behind.

"Use whatever tricks you have, or you won't have another chance," Mu Xiang said disdainfully. Without turning his head, he hooked the foot that had previously scattered the blood wave backward, forcing Li Xiaoyi to draw his knife to block, and then kicked him backward again.

Peng Qiu blocked the kick with a wave of blood, and the darkness controlled by Li Xiaoyi spread out, shielding her within it. Although she could feel Mu Xiang's undisguised gaze, he seemed to have no intention of attacking her anymore.

She inwardly groaned. The Netherworld Blood Sea Formation, when fully activated, would have been able to tightly restrain even Li Xiaoyi, the third strongest member of the Demon Team, but now it seemed to be completely useless against the captain of the Central Continent Team.

Because Mu Xiang almost single-handedly withstood the pull of the Netherworld Blood Sea Formation, moving around and charging left and right without any restrictions!
Although alarmed, Li Xiaoyi managed to hold Mu Xiang back, allowing her to continue releasing the formation.

The electronic rune sword, composed of true essence, was utterly illusory, yet Peng Qiu held it with great solemnity. With a shout, the illusory electronic rune sword was tossed into the air and instantly disintegrated.

Just then, several missiles pierced the darkness and struck Peng Qiu. The explosion startled her, and the aftershocks of the missiles even caused the disintegrating electronic runes to become disordered.

This was because Xu Lin just happened to use the right weapon. Not to mention him, even Mu Xiang didn't know that the Demon Team had a formation cultivator... Although Mu Xiang knew that the clone Chu Xuan would use technology as a lower-level substitute to supplement the missing rune technology, that was something that happened in the original ending. How could he have guessed that they would encounter it here?

Upon sensing the situation, Mu Xiang was overjoyed. He immediately called out to Xu Lin through the mental link: "Your missile is working! The accompanying electronic pulse alone is enough to interfere with her runes... Use the special pulse missile immediately!"

Xu Lin was stunned for a moment after hearing this; he hadn't expected the missile used for directional detection to be so effective. At that moment, there was an extremely strong pulling force behind him, but with the Tiger Armor operating at full power, he was able to run safely along the building wall.

Tom's metal manipulation could interfere with the Tiger Armor, but because Tom hadn't evolved his abilities to a high level and was only at the second tier, coupled with Zhan Lan's mental attack and the special nature of the Tiger Armor's metal, he couldn't directly destroy Xu Lin's armor. Therefore, when Tom attempted to attack the Tiger Armor, Zhan Lan seized the initiative, unleashing a surge of psionic energy and mental power that attacked Tom from multiple angles, both visible and invisible.

A burst of flame erupted beneath Xu Lin's feet, and his figure shot upwards, seemingly defying gravity and the pull of the metal control, soaring over the rooftop of a tall building and looking down from above.

He immediately located Peng Qiu's previous position. Although the woman riding the flying sword could have moved away during this time, her possible movement trajectory was as clear to Xu Lin as if it were drawn on a blank sheet of paper.

He patted his right arm twice with his left hand, and the ammunition in the hand cannon was replaced. The pulse grenades, specifically designed to deal with electronic devices, were loaded... Xu Lin looked at the darkness below, raised his hand, and fired three shots. The three missile trails were staggered, seemingly completely sealing off any possible locations.

Three explosions rang out in succession, the impact of the pulse grenades engulfing what lay below. Those below were not ordinary people and were completely unaffected; however, the aura that had emerged from the darkness suddenly weakened!
Xu Lin's eyes were blank. The jets on the back of his armor started, causing him to shift to the side as he was standing sideways. A phantom sword shadow slashed past him from where he had been standing.

In the words of the people of Shu Mountain, Peng Qiu's innate talent and aptitude are both good, but talent is talent, just as the potential of the Demon Team is potential... Before it develops into strength, no matter how extraordinary your talent is, you must honestly limit yourself to your expected level. Or, you can find another way to temporarily stand at a higher position.

Peng Qiu's approach is just like this: the study of formations by formation cultivators may seem rigid, but it is actually flexible and varied, without too many rigid rules. In the end, any formation, once clarified, is simply an arrangement and combination of runes and rules. Taking what one needs or what one can do is a kind of formation variation.

Just like the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, which uses the Heavenly Gods and Demons' Life Flags to create ancient monsters, it is only a simulation of the power of the twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons; and the physical bodies of the twelve four-level experts required for the so-called standard version of the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation are only a simplified and benign version.

Before the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, hailed as one of the Ten Great Formations, what is a mid-level fourth-tier formation? This is a powerful formation at the multiverse level; let alone twelve, even twelve hundred mid-level fourth-tier formations would be nothing. Yet, this is what allows the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation to manifest its power, albeit only a portion, and it should not be underestimated.

Therefore, Chu Xuan's solution for Peng Qiu was to transform true essence into electronic symbols, and then use these electronic symbols to replace the runes. This transcribing process would reduce the true essence required by the runes and formations. While the power would be greatly reduced, it would still be usable!

Things that are high above and unusable are the most impractical for the Reincarnation Squad... What Peng Qiu needs right now is the ability to use a lower-level substitute.

Whether it's the Immortal Sword Technique that conjures longswords or the use of the Thirteen Blood Witch Array, both are implemented using electronic runes... This effect, during the experiment, can be fully applied to the current battlefield of the Demon Team.

The electronic rune sword disintegrated during its upward throw, scattering into countless electronic runes. However, these scattered runes were not chaotic; they still followed a certain path, and within seconds, they formed a true energy grid with a diameter of over three hundred meters.

Just then, several missiles struck Peng Qiu, causing the electronic runes to become chaotic for a moment. Before she could regain control, three more pulse grenades arrived, missing Peng Qiu but striking the building and causing the pulses to spread.

The true energy net was torn apart... The formation's self-repair mechanism activated, continuously drawing upon Peng Qiu's true energy to repair it. Even so, more than half of the formation was slow to activate, and of the thirteen blood witches, only six appeared on one side of the formation.

Peng Qiu gritted his teeth, bit his tongue, let his hair down, and began to stride forward in a Bagua stance, forming various hand seals. Six blood witches, their frames composed of electronic runes, came to life, roaring as they leaped into the sea of ​​blood. The sea of ​​blood filled their electric skeletons, and six blood-red behemoths stood in the blood, turning towards the Central Continent Team.

"kill!"
