The Empress of Ten Reincarnations Just to Find Me

At that moment, a dazzling light shot up from the magic circle, like a bolt of lightning streaking through the night sky, instantly capturing the attention of everyone present. Everyone subconsciously paused their movements and looked towards the source of the light.

As the light gradually dissipated, a figure slowly emerged, clearly exposed before everyone's eyes. This person was dressed in a black robe that fluttered gently in the wind. His face was stern, and his eyes were deep and sharp.

When the three blue-robed men saw this person appear, their faces lit up with joy, their eyes filled with relief and excitement at having survived. They couldn't wait to shout loudly, "Bishop! Save us!"

The black-robed figure slowly ascended with an expressionless face, his figure hovering in the air like a ghost. His deep, sharp eyes slowly scanned the surroundings, taking in the current situation.

After a moment, he snorted coldly, then chuckled. There was a chill in his laughter, which made people feel nervous. He said coldly:

"You three are really weird. Look at the noise you made. It's quite a big deal. Humph, I'll settle the losses you caused this time with you three later!"

After saying this, the black-robed old man slowly raised his hands, and streams of dark green energy converged like snakes. In an instant, a giant axe emitting a cold light slowly formed in his hands.

When the giant axe was condensing, one could actually hear creepy wails coming from the axe. The sound seemed to come from the Nine Nether Hell, revealing endless gloom and weirdness, making everyone present feel their scalps tingle.

As the giant axe took shape, the powerful and domineering aura of the old man in black robe was fully revealed, like a volcano about to erupt, depressing and terrifying.

Elder Zhao frowned upon seeing this, secretly shocked: "He's actually in the late Yuan Dao stage just like me. This is really troublesome..."

He knew very well that he had encountered a formidable foe. If he did not quickly deal with the three blue-robed men, once the black-robed old man joined the battle, the situation would be extremely unfavorable to his side.

So, Elder Zhao made a prompt decision and turned around abruptly, wanting to get rid of the three blue-robed men as quickly as possible.

But despite his swift movements, the black-robed elder wasn't slow at all. With a single swing of his arm, the axe in his hand, emitting a cold glow, shot out like a bolt of black lightning, whistling with the sound of wind as it struck Elder Zhao in the waist, instantly blocking his path.

The man in black robe said coldly: "The fight between the younger generations should be left to them to resolve on their own. As someone of the same realm as me, you should be facing me now!" There was an unquestionable majesty in his words.

Before he finished speaking, the black-robed figure flashed and appeared in front of the three blue-robed men like a ghost. Dark green energy surged around him, and the cold light made his face look even colder and more sinister.

The next moment, the black-robed man suddenly raised the giant axe in his hand, which was emitting a cold light. His arm muscles flexed and his energy was madly poured into it. Then, he shouted loudly, and like a thunderous explosion, he slashed fiercely in the direction of Elder Zhao.

When the giant axe chopped down, it brought with it a sharp whistling sound, as if it was going to tear the air apart.

Elder Zhao was startled. Seeing the mighty axe coming towards him with boundless power, he dared not delay even a moment and quickly mobilized all his energy. In an instant, energy gathered frantically in his palm, and then, a long sword radiating a dazzling light condensed and emerged.

Elder Zhao gripped the sword tightly with both hands, gritted his teeth, and used all his strength to hold the sword horizontally in front of him, trying to block the fierce blow.

However, the black-robed old man's axe was a powerful and heavy blow from a powerful warrior of the same realm. How could it be easily blocked by a sword? There was a loud clang, as if a huge bell was suddenly struck, which made everyone's eardrums hurt.

The giant axe struck Elder Zhao's sword fiercely, unleashing a powerful impact. Elder Zhao felt an overwhelming force emanating from the sword, shaking his arms to the point of numbness.

Under the impact of this huge force, Elder Zhao's body immediately sank uncontrollably.

At this moment, the four disciples who had been watching the battle on the side saw this scene and were stunned. Their eyes were full of shock and worry. They did not expect the situation to reverse so quickly.

But before the four disciples could recover from their shock and react, the voices of the three blue-robed men came slowly over.

One of them shouted with a hint of pride, "Alright, let's compete again now. Don't think I can let you off so easily."

Another person spoke up shortly after, his words filled with ruthlessness: "You four look quite young, but you will pay the price for this today."

With that, the three blue-robed figures quickly shifted positions, their energy surging between them as they began to form a formation. Instantly, a ray of light illuminated around them, enveloping them. Energy weaved and intertwined like silk threads, forming a tightly connected trinity formation.

The formation began to operate, emitting a subtle pressure that could not be ignored. Seeing this, the four disciples frowned simultaneously, knowing that the next battle would be even more difficult. They dared not slack off and focused their minds to get serious.

At this time, Chen Han was concentrating on breaking the formation that trapped those ordinary people in front of him. It was already the most critical moment.

His face was solemn, his eyes fixed on the strangely glowing magic circle, his mind spinning like a fleeting gear, non-stop. He had no idea how many attempts he had failed, and each failure only made him more anxious.

At this moment, his mind kept recalling the large formations he had seen in Qingxuan Sect, as well as every movement and every flow of Yuanli when Sister Mirror broke the formation at that time, which kept replaying in his mind like a movie.

Not long after, Chen Han's expression suddenly shook, his eyes widened instantly, and there seemed to be a light flashing in his eyes. He shouted loudly: "Break it for me!"

In an instant, the magic circle that was originally emitting a strange light seemed to have been hit by some strong impact, and suddenly emitted a burst of light.

Then, with a gentle humming sound, the light of the magic circle gradually receded like the tide, eventually vanishing completely. The ordinary people in the cage, who had previously shown expressions of fear and pain, now seemed to have broken free from some kind of restraint, and their sense of pain gradually subsided.

Seeing that the magic circle was finally broken and everyone in the cage was no longer in pain, Chen Han breathed a sigh of relief.

He secretly felt relieved. He had originally thought that he had no talent in this area. After all, he had learned alchemy with difficulty. He didn't expect that he actually had some talent in this formation.

But before he could be happy about this small success for too long, the next moment, he gathered his energy again, and a cold sword instantly appeared in his palm.

Just as he was about to swing his sword to cut open the cage and completely rescue these trapped ordinary people, there was suddenly a huge noise outside.

The noise was as deafening as thunder, and the rumbling sounds continued to come, shaking the inside of the Shadow Cult, as if the entire building was about to collapse under the vibration.

Chen Han's brows furrowed slightly, his heart filled with confusion and worry. He wondered what was going on outside? Why was there such a sudden commotion?

But Chen Han did not hesitate too much because of this sudden movement.

Then, his eyes flashed, and he swung the cold sword in his hand fiercely towards the cage. With a flash of cold light and a crisp sound, the cage was instantly split open.

The civilians inside, upon seeing this, immediately rushed out as if they had been granted amnesty. Their faces were filled with joy and gratitude for having survived the ordeal, and they kept saying thank you:

"Thank you so much, benefactor! If it weren't for you, I don't know how long we would have suffered."

"Benefactor, we will never forget your great kindness!"

Chen Han frowned, raised his hand to signal everyone to quiet down, and then said loudly: "Everyone, don't go out yet. The situation outside is unclear. Let's wait until the situation outside stabilizes. Going out now may be dangerous."

When everyone heard this, although they were eager to escape from this terrible place, they also understood that what Chen Han said made sense. They stopped and gathered together, their eyes full of trust and dependence on Chen Han.

Chen Han, after giving everyone his instructions, didn't dare slack off and immediately turned around and headed for the next cage. With the experience of breaking the first cage's magic circle, his movements were more skillful this time.
