Zhang Tian continuously set up several formations around him. Fortunately, Zhang Tian had a certain understanding of the Queen Mother of the West's formations, otherwise, it would have been impossible to add more formations to hers. As for trapping the person in front of him with these formations, Zhang Tian felt it was unlikely to succeed.
"Hurry up."
"His attacks are vicious."
From a distance, Hu Xue's voice came through. It seemed she was struggling.
Zhang Tian stroked his chin, worthy of being a Qilin, truly fierce. He had made Hu Xue cry out. Wait, something was wrong, Hu Xue was on his side, so his excitement was a bit inappropriate.
"Hang in there a bit longer, I'm almost done here," Zhang Tian called out.
Hu Xue's expression turned grim. She frantically blocked Zhang Qilin's attacks. Zhang Qilin's attacks were fierce and relentless, as if they would never stop. Who could withstand such an assault? Hu Xue was naturally at a disadvantage.
Zhang Tian, meanwhile, was busy setting up formations. Once he finished, he began searching for the exit. "If the entire Demon Tower is activated by the monsters within, then the heart of the formation should also operate based on the monsters' auras," he mused. "If that's the case, I only need to find the source of that aura."
Zhang Tian thought to himself, but while it was easy to say, it was difficult to do. He scanned his surroundings. His gaze finally landed on the ceiling. The ceiling was an internal structure resembling the spire of a tower, appearing very tall. Inside, there was a vast space.
"Could something be happening there?" he wondered. He closed his eyes and began to sense the surrounding auras.
Hu Xue watched Zhang Tian stand there as if in a daze and felt a sense of dread. She was frustrated. Why was Zhang Qilin constantly attacking her and not Zhang Tian? Did he still have emotions even when controlled?
"Hey, what are you doing?" Hu Xue's heart sank as she saw Zhang Qilin wiping his black gold ancient sword. She had a bad premonition.
The next moment, a powerful surge of blood energy erupted, and a scorching aura flowed around the black gold ancient sword. "This is... Qilin blood! You have the Qilin bloodline!" Hu Xue was aghast. Qilin blood was the strongest bloodline for suppressing evil spirits and demons. Even Hu Xue would find it difficult to recover if wounded by it. Furthermore, after the black gold ancient sword broke her skin, Zhang Qilin's strength had increased several times over.
Hu Xue was stunned. Was this person a monster? How could he be so outrageously strong? And he didn't take any breaks.
"Retreat!" Hu Xue suddenly moved, channeling all her strength to a single point. The next moment, a powerful tremor erupted. Both she and Zhang Qilin were pushed back.
Zhang Tian glanced at Hu Xue. He knew that Hu Xue had not yet unleashed her full strength. Moreover, when fighting the Snake God, even with the Snake God's powerful eye attacks, Hu Xue had shown no signs of strain. Zhang Tian was not in a hurry; he felt he was on the verge of detecting the formation's fluctuations above him.
Zhang Tian looked up at the ceiling. Below, on a chair, the eyes of the meditating woman trembled slightly. The next moment, her eyes slowly opened.
Just as Zhang Tian was about to sense the formation's fluctuations, a surge of air erupted from beneath him. Immediately, the sound of formations shattering followed. Zhang Tian's expression changed, and he quickly retreated. He didn't hesitate at all. Despite his quick reaction, a sharp weapon still managed to slash a wound on his leg.
Steadying himself, Zhang Tian looked up. Before him, a woman in a white battle robe, with a heroic and spirited demeanor, was slowly rising. The Queen Mother of the West had awakened!
Seeing this, Zhang Tian's heart sank. With a wolf in front and a tiger behind, this was truly a desperate situation!
At the scene, there was a flurry of discussion.
"Holy cow, so exciting! With these two bombs, I don't believe Zhang Tian can break free!"
"Amazing! This scene, even by today's standards, is incredibly explosive."
"Family members, who can understand this feeling? Being attacked from both sides is really unpleasant!"
"The previous person, attacked from both sides? Can you elaborate?"
"I'm getting excited, please don't make me laugh."
"Speaking of which, how did Zhang Tian escape in such a situation? Did Zhang Qilin awaken, or was there another way?"
The crowd discussed the scene with great seriousness as they watched. Even Wu Tianzhen and Fatty, who were sitting nearby, were paying close attention.
"Holy crap, boss, how did you get out of that back then? If we were in that situation, we might not have made it," Fatty exclaimed.
Hu Bayi shot Fatty a glare. "Fatty, be quiet and watch carefully."
Fatty reluctantly closed his mouth. Although he was worried, seeing that Zhang Tian was alive and well, Hu Bayi and the others felt somewhat relieved.
In the United States. Shirley Yang watched the scene with her hand over her chest. It was Zhang Tian's actions to protect her that led him into this situation, so Shirley Yang was more focused than ever.
In the image. Zhang Tian looked at the approaching figure, and in his hand, he swallowed several pills. After taking the pills, Zhang Tian's injuries began to heal visibly.
"Queen Mother of the West?" Zhang Tian spoke.
The woman opposite him remained silent, her face expressionless, her eyes devoid of any emotion. She looked as if she had no consciousness. Zhang Tian knew that the more someone was like this, the more dangerous they were. With no emotions and no independent consciousness, such a person could be decisive and ruthless, with no reservations. Zhang Tian took a deep breath. He knew this was a formidable opponent.
"Hmph." The woman in front of him let out a cold snort and waved her hand forcefully. A powerful force surged towards him. A giant hand suddenly appeared above Zhang Tian's head. True Qi condensed into a massive hand, as if she were grasping the entire sky in her palm. Tremendous pressure welled up, and Zhang Tian's heart pounded wildly.
"So strong!" Zhang Tian exclaimed inwardly. Without hesitation, he began to retreat rapidly. However, the power of the hand was too immense. Before Zhang Tian could retreat far, the hand had already slammed down. Zhang Tian raised his peach wood sword to block above his head. Even so, the ground where he had retreated showed a deep pit.
Hu Xue stole a glance at Zhang Tian's situation. When she saw Zhang Tian being suppressed by the hand, Hu Xue swallowed. The Queen Mother of the West had awakened, how could they fight now? She had initially thought that with just the Queen Mother of the West, she and Zhang Tian could outlast her, even if it meant a long struggle. But now, with Zhang Qilin added to the mix, Hu Xue's confidence waned considerably. And if Zhang Tian died, who would be able to get out?
Hu Xue's heart sank. She knew she could no longer hold back her strength. Otherwise, they would all die here.
"Break!" Beneath the palm, Zhang Tian's aura changed dramatically. He swiftly drew a lightning talisman, and blue lightning surged forth, dissipating the hand into nothingness. Zhang Tian also used this opportunity to retreat furiously. He and Hu Xue stood back-to-back. Both of their eyes held a serious expression, and the atmosphere gradually grew heavy.
