Chapter 1097

Trapped in the Forbidden Killing Formation, no one outside could save Zi Chen. Zi Chen's friends could not, and neither could his spiritual body. Of course, they would not try to save him either. Some people had the ability but were unwilling to break the rules. Thus, Zi Chen could only save himself.

However, in the middle of the formation, Zi Chen could not even protect himself, let alone save himself. Thus, there was no way to break this formation.

In the dusky sky, the sword light pierced through the clouds. Every time it disappeared, the next time it appeared, it would double in size. As time passed, the sky finally formed a real sword rain. Those Heavenly Beasts had long been pierced through by the sword rain, turning into sieves and smashed into pieces.

After dodging so many times, Zi Chen had expended a lot of energy. At this moment, there were at least a hundred wounds on his body. Although each wound was not big, there were too many wounds. As he kept bleeding, Zi Chen gradually became weaker.

He held his spear and looked around coldly. In the Forbidden Killing Formation, Zi Chen not only had to defend against the sword light, but also the attacks of the assassins.

Their figures were not obstructed here, and their attacks were mysterious and strange. Sword Qi that contained killing intent would always appear unexpectedly, giving Zi Chen a lot of trouble.

"Chi." "Chi." "Chi."

The sword light that filled the sky once again broke through the clouds and shot towards Zi Chen. There were so many that Zi Chen could no longer count them. In short, the sword light filled the entire sky, covering every corner.

Zi Chen was unable to dodge in the face of such dense sword light. He could only hold his spear and protect himself in a circular area.

Clanging sounds rang out. Zi Chen kept swinging his spear, shattering the sword light.

Suddenly, Zi Chen felt an unusual killing intent coming from behind him. His expression changed as he thought to himself, 'Here it comes again.' He stabbed his spear behind him.

However, in the next moment, several more killing intents appeared from all directions, attacking Zi Chen.

If this was the outside world, Zi Chen might find it troublesome to face such an attack, but with his extreme speed, he could still deal with it. However, his speed had been reduced by half, and he was injured. It was already good enough that he could survive.

"Buzz."

As the void trembled, the sword light attacked and then shot towards Zi Chen. Other than the sword light shot out by the assassin with the sharp blade, there were also other sword lights in the world. The assassin's body appeared and disappeared, and he actually ignored the sword light in the world.

Zi Chen picked a direction with his spear and pierced through it.

Clanging sounds were heard as Zi Chen broke one of the sword lights. However, the rest of the attacks instantly pierced into Zi Chen's body.

"Pu." "Pu."

There were a few more bloody holes on Zi Chen's body. The assassin retreated after that strike. At the same time, there were many more small wounds left by the sword light of heaven and earth.

In short, Zi Chen no longer had an intact piece of skin on his body. Even his face was covered in wounds.

In the outside world, although the crowd could not see what was happening inside, they could see the scene of the sword light piercing into the body. For a moment, everyone was stunned.

The powerful Zi Chen, who was known to be able to kill spirits, was actually injured in the formation. Moreover, it seemed that his injuries were very serious.

"It's the Forbidden Killing Formation. It's known as the strongest killing formation of the Killing Clan. In history, no assassin has ever failed to kill someone using the Forbidden Killing Formation."

"As expected of the Forbidden Killing Formation that is known to have a 655% success rate. Zi Chen is definitely going to die this time."

"Hehe, Zi Chen, you probably did not expect this day to come."

The spirits were extremely excited. The name Zi Chen was like a mountain pressing down on their hearts, making them feel extremely uncomfortable and unable to raise their heads. However, as long as Zi Chen died, the world would become the world of invincible spirits.

Looking at the trapped Zi Chen, Su Mengyao was very anxious. Now, she could only hope that the Devil Ape and the others could quickly find Lv Peng. However, she soon saw the sharp blade piercing through Zi Chen's body. She was so shocked that she almost cried out. Her pale face was completely drained of blood.

The young man stood somewhere in the void and looked down at Zi Chen in the formation. He said, "It's unsolvable. It's unsolvable."

In the formation.

Zi Chen's body landed on the ground. His injuries were so serious that he could not expend too much energy to fly under the pressure.

Facing this Forbidden Killing Formation, Zi Chen really felt powerless and felt that he was insignificant.

He was very powerful and could defeat anyone in the same realm. However, this formation in front of him could exhaust him to death. Until now, he had not found a way to escape. Even if the assassins did not attack, he would die in the formation.

This formation was unsolvable.

Zi Chen could only accept this fact helplessly.

"What's wrong? Are you not going to resist? Are you waiting for death?" A mocking voice sounded from the sky. Even if his tracks were exposed, Zi Chen did not have the strength to charge forward and kill.

Because of the strangeness of the formation, he had already wasted too much energy in his previous fearless charge.

"This formation is unsolvable. Death is inevitable. However, I thought you would have a lot of fighting spirit and be able to hold on until the last moment. I didn't expect you to still be alive and in despair." A mocking voice sounded from the void again.

Zi Chen looked up at somewhere in the void and said coldly, "Even if I die, I will drag you guys down with me."

After a short conversation, the sword light fell again. As long as there was a breath of life in the formation, the Forbidden Killing Formation would not end until the breath of life dissipated.

At the same time, nine assassins with sharp blades appeared along with the sword light.

Facing so many attacks, Zi Chen did not take the initiative to resolve them. Instead, he chose to defend. The energy in his body formed a defensive light shield. Then, holding the long spear, he rushed toward one of the assassins in front of him.

His expression was calm, but there was a touch of determination in his eyes. There was a trace of madness.

With a flash of light, the long spear shattered a sword light and pierced into the body of one of the assassins. At the same time, the energy contained in the tip of the spear flowed into the assassin's body.

At the same time, eight sword lights broke through the defense one after another and pierced into Zi Chen's vital parts. However, Zi Chen's body was special. He could block the energy from the sharp blades in an instant. Moreover, these assassins were very careful. They were afraid that Zi Chen would go crazy and kill them. Therefore, they retreated after one attack.

Zi Chen's body was bleeding profusely. Bloody holes were faintly visible. He looked very miserable and frightening.

The nine assassins retreated. Just as they hid in the void, one of them fell out and crashed to the ground, dead.

Among the nine assassins, one had already died.

"He is already an arrow at the end of its flight. One round of attacks will be enough to kill him."

The voice in the sky sounded again. It was the leader of the ten assassins in black. However, he did not launch an attack. He was just giving orders.

Zi Chen did not even have time to take a deep breath. The sword lights trembled again, and the assassins attacked again.

Just as the other party said, Zi Chen was already an arrow at the end of its flight. There was no need for the assassins to attack. These sword lights were enough to kill him. However, the assassins were not willing to let Zi Chen die like this. They came to kill him personally.

Just as the sword lights pierced into his body again, Zi Chen's calm eyes suddenly lit up with two balls of flames.

The flames burned in his eyes, in his blood, in his bones, on his body, on the assassins' blades, on the assassins' bodies, and in the endless sword lights. The entire Forbidden Killing Formation was burning with flames. The raging flames calcined the air, ignited the endless sword lights, and ignited the assassins.

Mournful screams echoed in the Forbidden Killing Formation. However, the formation's soundproofing effect was very good. It did not spread to the outside world.

However, although the people outside did not hear the screams, they saw the flames. They were familiar with this kind of flame and knew that it was called the Flame of Life.

The power of laws appeared in the flames in the formation. The assassins' flaming figures ran around in the formation, jumping around, trying to extinguish the flames.

Seeing this scene, the originally proud spirits immediately changed their expressions. Their expressions became tense, serious, worried, and even a tinge of uncontrollable fear.

If the Flame of Life broke through the Forbidden Killing Formation, then an unimaginable disaster would descend that would affect everyone.

Su Mengyao's eyes lit up. As the battle continued, she had deduced a chance of survival. Now that she saw Zi Chen's heavily injured body attract the Flame of Life, she guessed that the chance of survival was here. However, she was not sure, so she watched excitedly.

"It's the annoying Flame of Life."

Somewhere in the void, the prince's cold voice sounded. Clearly, he still remembered the scene in front of the ancient castle and was still brooding over this flame.

The prince asked worriedly, "Demon Lord, will Zi Chen break out of the formation?"

The Demon Lord shook his head and said, "I don't know much about human formations. However, the power of laws did not destroy the formation. The possibility of him not coming out is higher."

At this moment, everyone nervously stared at the Forbidden Killing Formation. Their expressions varied. Some were hopeful, some were worried, and some were afraid.

Those who had no enmity with Zi Chen and those who did not like the large factions hoped that Zi Chen would be able to break out of the formation and then slaughter them. However, those who had enmity with him hoped that he would die in the formation.

Hope filled everyone's hearts. However, there was no hope on Zi Chen's face. This was because the moment the Flame of Life was activated, a cold voice sounded from the sky.

"Disperse."

As the word 'disperse' fell, the flaming sword light that filled the sky silently dispersed, turning into pure energy of the world.

The Flame of Life could burn all external objects, but this did not include spiritual energy. Thus, the flames that filled the sky were like fireworks. As soon as they ignited, they dispersed and then disappeared.

However, this was not the reason why Zi Chen lost hope. Instead, it was because the two assassins that had been ignited by the Flame of Life seemed to know that they would die. They did not hide in the space formed by the formation and instead exposed themselves to Zi Chen.

The Flame of Life was unable to enter the core of the formation, so it was naturally unable to ignite there. Naturally, it was also unable to break the formation. The instant the Flame of Life appeared, although the formation still existed, it was not activated. Thus, the laws were unable to tear it apart.

Of course, the most important reason for all of this was that Zi Chen was unable to control these laws. Otherwise, let alone a mere Forbidden Killing Formation, even ten of them would be enough to break through.

The Flame of Life dissipated, but the Forbidden Killing Formation still existed. The clouds that had just disappeared reappeared. Clearly, the Flame of Life's laws had not been able to break through the formation. This caused an uproar.

The spirit bodies of the large factions let out a sigh of relief. They felt as if the mountain in their hearts had suddenly disappeared. If they had not been able to break it the first time, they naturally would not be able to break it the second time. Furthermore, whether or not Zi Chen would have a second chance was another matter.

Su Mengyao cried out in alarm. Her face instantly paled and her eyes were filled with grief.
