C9 Changing the Formation

Jiang Louyue was lazily patrolling by the river when he suddenly heard a very urgent drum beat. The sound was loud and clear, and it was different from ordinary drums.

The moment the drum sounded, Jiang Louyue's eyes lit up. "It's finally here."

The surrounding was filled with cold wind and resentful air. Jiang Louyue completely ignored the people of Qujiang who were standing in a daze around him. He leaped and stood on top of the willow tree.

Jiang Louyue turned his head and the sword in his hand flashed with a cold light. He stared at the undulating river and said, "Come on, don't you want my skin? No matter how many times you come, I will kill you."

A black shadow flashed by the river. The black mist enveloped him and rushed towards Jiang Louyue who was on top of the willow tree.

At that moment, the willow branch seemed to have its own consciousness. It directly swept upwards, wanting to devour Jiang Louyue.

He turned his body and landed on the ground. The willow branch didn't even touch the corner of his clothes.

The black shadow appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye. The extremely dense resentment rushed towards his face. Jiang Louyue turned around again and avoided the attack. The sword in his hand casually moved forward.

It seemed to have cut something, and a clear cracking sound was heard. The thing wrapped in the black mist screamed and was extremely angry.

The battle between the two of them was not intense. It was more like a sword dance that had been carefully arranged. The white-clothed youth was elegant and graceful. There was no strange and terrifying feeling in the battle between him and the evil spirit. Instead, it could be called beautiful.

Tonghua watched from afar as Jiang Louyue played with the evil ghost. He frowned and engraved Jiang Louyue's dissatisfaction in his eyes, "You're frivolous."

Caisang squeezed through the crowd and said, "Be careful. These Thousand Faces can transform into other people's appearances. I was almost tricked by it before!"

"Jiaojiao!" Just as she finished speaking, a black shadow flashed in front of her. Jiang Louyue stood in front of him with a dark expression on his face. His eyes were as gloomy as if they were filled with ink.

The black mist-like thing behind him bared its fangs and brandished its claws as it pounced towards him.

Jiang Louyue actually didn't care at all. His eyes were still fixed on Caisang, or to be precise, on her neck.

Jiang Louyue's previous carefree and unrestrained attitude had disappeared, leaving only a cold and gloomy expression on his face. "Jiaojiao, why did you do that to your neck?"

The resentment behind him gathered, and he was forced to retreat by a few yellow talismans. However, he became even more arrogant as he pounced forward crazily, as if he would break through the restriction in the next second and wrap Jiang Louyue within it.

"Previously, these Thousand Faces pretended to be you and tricked me away. I don't mind. It's more important to deal with the enemy first … Jiang Louyue?!" Caisang's voice paused, and his heart was frightened by the threatening gaze as he took a step back.

Jiang Louyue gritted his teeth, and a few veins appeared on his forehead. The hatred and anger in his eyes were almost overflowing.

"My Jiaojiao!" One word after another pierced through his teeth and flew out. Jiang Louyue gritted his teeth and turned his head back, "You bastards!"

The wind suddenly blew, blowing his long hair up. In that instant, it was even more like a demon than the black mist in front of him.

Jiang Louyue used his long sword to cut his palm, and used his own blood to draw a rune in the air. He clenched his fists and smashed it forward.

"Bam!"

A loud sound rang out, and the rune pressed down on the ground, clearing the black mist in front of him.

Jian Louyue retracted his previous casual attitude, and this kind of furious action shocked even Tonghua.

His gaze fell on the wound that was almost healed by Caisang, and his expression was a little strange, "Miss Caisang and Young Master Jiang's relationship is really deep."

Caisang subconsciously reached out her hand to cover the wound on her neck. At this time, the blood was no longer flowing, and the deep affection Jiang Louyue showed made her feel inexplicably confused.

It also made her feel uncomfortable.

After getting rid of the resentment in front of her, Jiang Louyue took two deep breaths and turned his head back, returning to the Jiang Louyue who usually had a very gentle smile on his face.

"This ball of resentment is just a diversion to attract our attention. The real thing is not here."

"Let's destroy the bone formation in the water first. No matter who wants to use the bone formation to do something, the resentment can't be gathered after the formation is destroyed. They will naturally dissipate." Caisang said as she walked towards the river.

"But we didn't find any bone formation during the day's search." Tonghua said.

"I'll go take a look. That bone formation is definitely strange." Caisang said.

Jiang Louyue reached out his hand and grabbed Caisang's arm to stop her again. "I'll go into the water. You wait here. It's not safe underwater."

Caisang fiercely shook off his hand and frowned slightly. He had been acting very irritable since the beginning. "Jiang Louyue, you're so disgusting."

Jiang Louyue was stunned for a moment and let go of her arm.

"I'm not a child. I can take care of my son. I don't need you to think about me step by step. Besides, our relationship isn't that good, is it?" Caisang approached her step by step. There was a hint of annoyance in his eyes.

The atmosphere was a little stiff at that moment. Anyone could tell that there was something wrong with their relationship.

Tonghua went forward and suggested to go into the water with Caisang. Only then did the atmosphere become a little more harmonious.

Jiang Louyue watched as the two figures gradually disappeared into the river. The long sword in his hand trembled a few times. He didn't even look at it as he swung the sword behind him.

A silver light appeared and a black mist appeared from the crowd. It coincidentally collided with the sword light and disappeared in an instant.

Jiang Louyue put the sword back into its sheath. He looked away from the river and sighed as the wind blew to the distance. "Because as long as you leave me, you'll be injured."

Underwater, the water was so dark that one could not see their fingers. Caisang followed her memory and found the place where she had seen the bone formation. The water rippled, and the iron chains that were as thick as an arm waved slightly in the river.

The bones were piled up into a sea of corpses, and the iron chains locked them up. The seven feet coffin-sealing nail was pinned around the area, forming a huge formation.

"This formation has been modified by someone..." Tonghua looked at it for a while and saw that something was wrong.

Caiang followed Tonghua's gaze and looked over. There was a coffin-sealing nail in the formation that looked especially new.

The person who modified the formation was definitely an expert. When a coffin-sealing nail was placed at this position, it completely changed the formation.

The formation was originally used to suppress evil spirits. When this nail was inserted, the resentment gathered, and the formation became a fierce formation.

"If I pull out this nail, will I be able to return to normal?" Caiang said as he reached out to touch the coffin-sealing nail.

"Don't move!" In that instant, Tonghua suddenly realized that something was wrong. By the time he shouted, it was already too late.

The water rippled, and the iron chains around Caiang's calf instantly wrapped around it. A coffin-sealing nail suddenly shot towards Caiang's chest.
