Chapter 387: The Mysterious Fog Man

“It might be a little troublesome.” Gu Xi thought for a moment, then smiled. “But I’m also very interested in the Sect-protection Grand Formation of Hall of Flowing Light. I wonder how interesting their expressions will be if their array is destroyed.”

Thinking of this, Gu Xi was already eager to try.

With the system, he could be said to be the natural nemesis of all deceptions and formations. This was also the reason why he did not show any signs of fear even when facing the Sect-protection Grand Formation.

Qing Zhu, who was at the side, glanced at Gu Xi with a strange expression when she heard this. If it was not for the various mysteries on Gu Xi’s body, she would even suspect that he had been scared silly.

While the two of them were talking, there were invisible waves that shot into the sky from the entire area of Hall of Flowing Light. At the same time, countless lines appeared on the ground, forming a huge formation that occupied a vast area.

At the same time, fog began to appear in the world continuously. This fog turned from thin to thick. In just a few breaths’ time, Gu Xi’s vision was already a vast expanse of whiteness, even Qing Zhu by his side had disappeared.

“It’s affecting my vision… Is it an illusion…” Gu Xi muttered.

The spiritual sense that blotted out the sky and covered the earth surged in all directions. However, he discovered that this fog had actually greatly restricted his spiritual sense. His spiritual sense was originally able to cover a distance of several dozen kilometers was now limited to a distance of less than a hundred meters.

“Qing Zhu.”

Gu Xi called out tentatively, but received no response.

In this way, he already had a rough guess in his heart.

This so-called Sect-protection Grand Formation should be a spatial-type array formation. Right now, Qing Zhu should be in the same situation as him.

However, what puzzled him was that even though he had been in this space for some time, this array formation did not show any signs of attacking.

It could not be that it planned to trap him here to death, right?

Just as he was racking his brains, a deep voice suddenly sounded.

“In the past hundred years, you are still the first person to be able to force my Hall of Flowing Light to release the Sect-protection Grand Array Formation. To be able to die under this array formation, you should be proud.”

Gu Xi listened carefully and realized that this was the voice of the First Elder, Bo Ye.

“It seems that this formation has given you a lot of confidence.” Gu Xi looked left and right for a while and realized that there was no way to find the source of the voice. It was as if the voice had become one with the formation.

Bo Ye chuckled and continued confidently, “Our sect used this formation to kill three early-stage Great Saint cultivators. Even one middle-stage Great Saint cultivator was severely injured. If not for the Sect Master’s words, I think that using this formation to deal with you would be making a mountain out of a molehill.”

Gu Xi only nodded at the glorious battle results of the Fog Spirit Overturning Sun Formation. Then, he raised his head to the sky in puzzlement and asked, “Did your formation starve the other party to death in here?”

As he said this, both sides fell into a long silence.

“Ridiculous, you don’t know how to repent even when you’re about to die!”

After an unknown amount of time, the elder’s exasperated voice sounded.

Clearly, he did not expect that Gu Xi would still have the mood to talk such meaningless nonsense to him at such a critical moment.

“Then let me experience your Sect-protection Array Formation.” The corners of Gu Xi’s mouth curled up slightly. “I hope you won’t disappoint me.”

“As you wish.” Bo Ye also quickly responded, and the space fell into silence once again.

The spiritual power in his body began to circulate quietly. Gu Xi vigilantly observed his surroundings. Although his spiritual sense was greatly restricted here, everything in the surrounding dozens of meters was under his absolute control.

On the surface, he seemed to be unconcerned about the Sect-protection Formation, and even looked down on it. However, in his heart, it was the exact opposite.

He was not stupid. With a Sect-protection Formation, even if he had the support of the System, he still did not dare to relax the slightest bit.

“There’s movement.”

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Xi’s expression froze. His vast spiritual sense, which was as vast as the sea, immediately swarmed in a direction. Everything there was clearly reflected in his mind.

He saw a large area of dense fog rapidly condensing about 30 meters away from him. After that, it actually condensed into a human figure!

That ‘human’ did not have any facial features, but only resembled a human figure. Moreover, what surprised Gu Xi was that he actually felt a dense spiritual fluctuation from that ‘human’. This meant that it had a cultivation realm!

“Similar to… A puppet?” Gu Xi murmured, his eyes showing some interest.

According to his investigation, that fog man was only at the initial stage of the Saint stage. Although their cultivation realms were the same now, he was absolutely confident that he could kill it on the spot.

At the same time, that fog man started to rush toward Gu Xi. It was only about 30 meters away, and it only took a moment.

Gu Xi’s reaction was very fast. He dodged the fog man’s palm and took advantage of the moment when the fog man stopped to deliver a punch. It landed squarely on the fog man’s chest.

However, he never expected that this punch, which was enough to cripple an early-stage Saint cultivator, actually penetrated the fog man’s body. He could not cause any harm to it. The fog that formed the body of the fog man had actually become extremely viscous, firmly holding onto his entire arm.

historical

Gu Xi secretly cursed. Immediately, the tip of his toes pressed against the ground and he tried to forcefully retreat. However, he did not immediately break free. After which, he was ruthlessly struck by the palm of the fog man.

Bang!

Following a muffled sound, Gu Xi was sent flying backward.

“What a strange thing.”

At this moment, he did not look too good. He had been at a disadvantage in the first exchange. Although he had already avoided the vital parts, this palm still made him feel pain.

Before he had time to think, the fog man rushed over again.

Without the slightest hesitation, Gu Xi pointed with the tip of his foot, and his entire body began to retreat quickly, trying to maintain a safe distance from it.

Since the attack could not cause any substantial damage to the thing, he naturally did not need to come into close contact with it. Moreover, the fog in the thing’s body had a strong sense of restraint, and he would undoubtedly be at a disadvantage if he came into contact with it.

Before he found a suitable way to deal with it, Gu Xi did not plan to come into close contact with it again. The further the better.

For a moment, a chase was going on in the vast white space.
