Oh my god, this is a bolt from the blue! A true heiress of metaphysics!

Chapter 272 Heavenly Backlash

"No."

Shi Xiaxia shook her head: "I'll preside over this formation..."

Shi Xiaxia's words were overheard by others, who said, "No! Young friend Shi, you are still young, you can't risk your life for this!"

"Yup!"

Master Qingchuan looked at Shi Xiaxia, his previous disdainful gaze long gone, replaced by solemnity: "With us old guys here, how could you possibly steal the credit?!"

"It's not that I want to steal the credit,"

Shi Xiaxia looked at the group and explained the reason: "It's because only I can manage this formation; you can't!"

The art of formations relies on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth; the slightest mistake will lead to utter failure!

What Shi Xiaxia didn't mention was that their own spiritual energy was not sufficient. If they were to forcibly preside over the Five Elements Universe Formation, they would probably run out of energy as soon as the formation was activated!

"this......"

The others looked at each other and finally agreed.

They can only trust Shi Xiaxia now!

Subsequently, under Shi Xiaxia's command, everyone cleared the area, and Shi Xiaxia set up an array there.

The group of people who were preparing to enter the magic array together hurriedly took out their most prized magical artifacts to enhance their spiritual energy.

They can't hold us back.

Before long, Lu Chuanbai arrived at the scene, and the rest of the people were also ready.

"Mr. Lu."

Shi Xiaxia stepped forward and promised again, "Please rest assured, I will definitely ensure your safety."

"Mm." Lu Chuanbai looked at Shi Xiaxia and nodded.

Then Shi Xiaxia took out a talisman and handed it to Lu Chuanbai, instructing him: "Keep this talisman safe. In times of danger, it can help you withstand fatal damage."

Lu Chuanbai put it into his arms: "Okay."

Once everything was ready, Shi Xiaxia looked at the others and said in a deep voice, "We can begin!"

Master Qingchuan, Daoist Baifeng, and the others exchanged glances and then took their places according to the directions Shi Xiaxia had instructed them to take.

"Let's go!"

Shi Xiaxia reached out her hand to Lu Chuanbai: "Stand with me."

"Okay." Lu Chuanbai placed his hand in Shi Xiaxia's soft little hand.

Then, Shi Xiaxia led Lu Chuanbai to the very center of the formation.

She stood face to face with Lu Chuanbai, smiled, and reached out her hand to him, saying, "I need some purple energy from you."

Lu Chuanbai looked at Shi Xiaxia, and this action reminded him of the day when Shi Xiaxia drew "A Dream of Yellow Millet". At that time, Shi Xiaxia called him out and asked him for that ethereal purple aura.

“Okay,” Lu Chuanbai agreed.

After he agreed, a wisp of purple energy automatically flew into Shi Xiaxia's hand.

Shi Xiaxia rubbed her hands together for a while, then turned around and said to Lu Chuanbai behind her, "Hold me up."

Lu Chuanbai stared at Shi Xiaxia's back for a long time before placing his hand on her waist.

Shi Xiaxia seemed completely oblivious. She raised her hands high, her lips moving as she chanted a spell. The purple aura that had been in her hands began to dissipate towards the masters standing in the four corners.

She would do her best to ensure the safety of others; with this purple aura, they should be out of danger and out of danger for their lives.

After doing all this, Shi Xiaxia channeled the last wisp of purple energy into the formation, and golden-purple array light immediately appeared beneath her feet.

Shi Xiaxia and Lu Chuanbai stood side by side in the center of the Five Elements Formation. Around them, four white-haired masters guarded the four corners, their robes fluttering and their hands flashing with incantations, providing full support to the two.

Shi Xiaxia quickly formed hand seals while chanting incantations.

In an instant, the Five Elements Universe Array beneath their feet shone brightly, and beams of brilliant light shot into the sky, clashing with the sacrificial array above.

In an instant, the wind and clouds changed color, the mountains and rivers trembled, and the sun and moon lost their light, as if the whole world was teetering on the brink of collapse in the confrontation between the two magic arrays.

As Shi Xiaxia continued to activate the magic array, the light of the Five Elements Universe Array became increasingly dazzling, gradually suppressing the Heavenly Sacrifice Array, which also began to show cracks.

Just when everyone thought victory was in sight, a sudden change occurred.

Heaven seemed to sense this rebellious force and instantly unleashed a backlash.

Bolts of lightning, as thick as buckets, crashed down from the dark clouds, their target the people inside the magic array.

One of the most powerful bolts of lightning struck directly at Lu Chuanbai.

But Shi Xiaxia seemed not to see it and did not step forward to protect Lu Chuanbai.

Just as the lightning was about to strike Lu Chuanbai, the talisman that Shi Xiaxia had given Lu Chuanbai suddenly emitted a bright light.

At the same time, a bright light emanated from Shi Xiaxia's arms.

The lightning that was originally meant to strike Lu Chuanbai instead attacked Shi Xiaxia.

"Boom!" A bolt of lightning struck Shi Xiaxia, her body instantly enveloped in the lightning, and she let out a painful groan.

Shi Xiaxia barely managed to withstand one bolt of lightning, but two bolts struck at the same time, causing her to cough up a mouthful of blood.

Her body trembled slightly in the lightning, but she never fell.

Lu Chuanbai stared at Shi Xiaxia in front of him, his expression astonished. No wonder Shi Xiaxia could guarantee that he would not be hurt!

It turns out she was the one who shielded me!

It was the power of that talisman from before!

Having realized what was happening, Lu Chuanbai tried to take out the talisman Shi Xiaxia had given him, but Shi Xiaxia's angry roar rang out: "Again!"

Lu Chuanbai hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not take out the talisman.

Although Shi Xiaxia's words weren't directed at him, he understood that they meant for him not to move.

The people at the four corners immediately poured their spiritual power into the sacrificial array again to fight against it, and no one even blinked when the magical artifacts shattered.

The others watching from not far from the formation were already in tears, staring blankly at the people inside.

Finally, under the resistance of the crowd, the sacrificial array shattered and dissipated into countless rays of light in the air.

The people inside the magic array, due to the enormous impact and the backlash from Heaven, coughed up blood and collapsed helplessly to the ground, their fates unknown.

Standing in the center of the formation, Lu Chuanbai, who was completely unaffected, caught the unconscious Shi Xiaxia.

He stared intently at Shi Xiaxia, whose face was pale and whose mouth was bleeding, and felt as if his mind had been completely blank.

After the formation completely dissipated, the other onlookers rushed over, calling out to the masters.

Before long, the gale gradually subsided, and the previously turbulent sky returned to calm.

The dark clouds dispersed, revealing a bright moon and sparse stars, as if the thrilling battle had never happened.
