Chapter 34 Trapped in the Formation

"Soul Trapping Formation, imprison the soul and lock the spirit!"

Wang Dahai's hands moved as fast as the wind, quickly completing the intricate hand seals, and then suddenly shouted loudly.

That voice was like a ringing bell, echoing in the silent night sky.

As his words fell, the light within the Soul Trapping Formation instantly blazed up like a volcanic eruption, so dazzling that it was hard to keep one's eyes open.

One after another, thick chains as huge as giant pythons slowly emerged from all around the light cocoon. They emitted a cold and gloomy light, and that light seemed to carry endless coldness. Wherever they passed, even the air seemed to be frozen. Wisps of cold air filled the air, making the surrounding atmosphere even more eerie and terrifying.

Seeing this, Jiang Li was greatly shocked in his heart. If he was entangled by these chains, the consequences would be unimaginable.

At that moment, without thinking too much, he suddenly brandished the Mo Li Sword in his hand, mustering all his strength, and slashed vigorously at those chains.

"Clang!" The Mo Li Sword hacked hard at the chains, and in an instant, a dazzling shower of sparks burst out, just like gorgeous fireworks blooming in the night sky.

However, the chains only paused slightly and then continued to wind towards Jiang Li with that icy momentum, without reducing their speed at all, as if they had identified their target and were determined to firmly trap Jiang Li.

"Why are they so tough!" Jiang Li was extremely anxious, and big beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead. He gritted his teeth and swung his sword several times in succession. Each strike was infused with all of his spiritual power and soul power, trying to break these troublesome chains.

However, the results were far from satisfactory. The chains remained extremely tough and unmoved.

Just at this moment, one of the chains seized the opportunity and suddenly wrapped around Jiang Li's ankle like a nimble snake.

Immediately after that, more chains, as if summoned, surged forward one after another. In the blink of an eye, they wrapped Jiang Li tightly like layers of ropes, making it impossible for him to move.

Jiang Li felt as if he was trapped in a cold cage. The binding force kept squeezing him, making even the slightest struggle extremely difficult for him.

"Haha, kid, let's see how you can struggle now!" Wang Dahai burst into an extremely smug laugh when he saw this. That laugh was particularly harsh in the silent night, revealing the arrogance of a petty person who had achieved a small victory.

Trapped in the chains, Jiang Li couldn't move his body at all. The feeling of his soul being torn apart grew even stronger, as if countless invisible hands were brutally pulling at his soul, making his head ache unbearably.

The chains wrapped around him were like greedy beasts, constantly draining his spiritual power. Jiang Li could clearly feel that the spiritual power within his body was gradually draining away. If this continued, he was afraid that without Wang Dahai even making a move, he would die from the exhaustion of his spiritual power.

[I must break the formation right now, or I'll really die here.] Jiang Li thought to himself, and a determined look flashed in his eyes.

Without hesitation, he closed his eyes and concentrated all of his soul power, gathering it together like a surging and powerful torrent.

Then, he suddenly rushed towards the ground beneath his feet with such force that it seemed as if he was going to pierce through the ground.

Since this formation relied on the fluctuations of spiritual power on the ground to maintain its operation, as long as the spiritual power nodes on the ground were destroyed, there was a possibility of breaking out of the formation. This was his only chance of survival at present, so he put it into action without hesitation.

"Boom!" Jiang Li's soul power slammed hard into the ground, immediately causing a violent tremor.

The tremor was like an earthquake, causing the entire formation to shake.

The light within the formation also flickered violently, like a candle in the wind that could go out at any moment.

The chains wrapped around Jiang Li were also affected and loosened for a moment. Jiang Li could feel that the binding force had lessened a little.

Wang Dahai noticed the abnormality of the formation, and his expression immediately changed. The previously smug look disappeared in an instant, replaced by a solemn face."Humph, want to break the formation? It's not that easy!"

He hurriedly injected his soul power into the formation again, quickly formed seals with his hands, and recited incantations. The soul power flowed continuously into the formation like a trickle, trying to stabilize the formation and not give Jiang Li any chance.

Jiang Li seized this rare opportunity and mobilized his soul power again. This time, instead of hitting the ground, he concentrated all his soul power on his right hand.

He gritted his teeth and exerted force suddenly. With a clear"crack" sound, the powerful soul power forcibly broke the chains around his right hand.

This time, he concentrated his power on the Mo Li Sword. The second move he created happened to be a stance for breaking formations.

Jiang Li took a deep breath and shouted loudly,"Formation-Breaking Slash!"

In an instant, the light on the Mo Li Sword soared, shining as brightly as the scorching sun and illuminating the entire Soul Trapping Formation.

Jiang Li swung the sword with all his might, and a sword qi as dazzling as a rainbow piercing through the sun slashed towards the chains wrapped around his body.

"Click!" With a clear snapping sound, several chains were cut off by Jiang Li. The broken chains were like lifeless snakes, limply falling to the ground.

Jiang Li's body finally regained some mobility. He could feel that he could move his limbs again. Although he was still somewhat restricted, there was finally a glimmer of hope.

Without the slightest hesitation, while Wang Dahai was still stabilizing the formation, Jiang Li's figure flashed like a meteor and rushed towards the edge of the formation.

At this moment, he had to take advantage of Wang Dahai's unpreparedness and rush out of the Soul Trapping Formation in one go. Otherwise, when Wang Dahai came to his senses and launched another attack, he might never have another chance.

Seeing Jiang Li rushing towards the outside of the formation, Wang Dahai was greatly shocked. He really hadn't expected that Jiang Li could break free while trapped by the chains and could launch a counterattack so quickly. This was completely beyond his expectation and left him at a loss for a moment.

"Want to run? No way!" Wang Dahai roared angrily, and his voice was filled with exasperated rage.

He quickly formed seals with his hands once again, preparing to launch a new attack to stop Jiang Li from breaking out of the formation.

His hands were moving like phantoms, chanting incantations as he gathered his soul power in his hands, ready to send it out at any time.

Just as Jiang Li was about to reach the edge of the formation, a huge wall of light suddenly rose in front of him, blocking his way. The wall of light emitted a dazzling glow.

Jiang Li didn't have time to stop and crashed directly into the wall of light. Immediately, he was bounced back and fell heavily to the ground."Cough... cough..." Jiang Li coughed up several mouthfuls of blood. He felt as if his body was falling apart, every bone aching faintly. His vision went black and his head was buzzing.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Dahai launched another attack. With a wave of his hands, spikes formed by condensed soul power shot towards Jiang Li. Those spikes emitted a cold and gloomy light, extremely sharp, as if they could easily pierce through anything.

Jiang Li was lying on the ground, looking at the spikes roaring towards him. But just as the spikes were about to hit him.

"Risk it all!"

Jiang Li roared and forcibly mobilized all the remaining spiritual power within his body, fused it with his soul power, and then formed a shield in front of him.
