Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2776: Chapter 2777: Nothing More to Say, Awaiting Execution

But it was already too late. Almost at the instant she turned around, the surrounding environment underwent a great change.

Niu Dali, Zhang Xiaoqiang, and the others who were originally sitting around the table all disappeared, and then the cups and plates arranged on the table exploded simultaneously, the fragments turning into streams of Sword Intent, fiercely stabbing at the escaping Shuman Qing and Shuman Na.

Moreover, these Sword Intents were targeting the very path the two women needed to take to escape.

With no other choice, the two women had to stop abruptly and then rapidly retreat, barely dodging this wave of attack.

The Sword Intents also did not pursue further. After obstructing the two women, the Sword Intents dissipated.

The fragments rustled as they fell.

The expressions on Shuman Na and Shuman Qing’s faces became extremely grim.

Because at this moment, brilliant light shone within the gathering hall, heavily oppressive, and then a dazzling light barrier slowly formed, trapping the two women inside.

All of this happened very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the situation was dramatically reversed.

The assassins Shuman Na and Shuman Qing had now become beasts trapped in a cage.

The two women were extremely frightened. After exchanging a glance, they immediately split into left and right, charging towards the light barrier, trying to break through.

But their struggle was in vain.

No matter how hard they tried, they could not shake the light barrier in the slightest.

Even so, the two women did not give up. Instead, they attacked even more frenziedly.

Because they knew that if they couldn’t escape from here, death awaited them.

And just as the two women were struggling desperately for survival, a voice tinged with mockery came from beyond the barrier.

"It’s useless. From the moment you stepped into this gathering hall, your fate was already sealed!"

"So give up your futile struggle. You cannot escape!"

Upon hearing this, the two women trembled all over, then quickly retreated and stood back-to-back, warily looking towards the source of the voice.

This layer of light barrier rippled lightly, and then the figures of Xue An, Sheng Hongqian, Niu Dali, and others began to emerge one after another.

When Shuman Qing saw Xue An, standing at the forefront in white robes, her gaze couldn’t help but focus.

Because she saw those cracks on Xue An’s neck that resembled ceramics shattered.

"So you are injured!" Shuman Qing said hatefully.

Xue An smiled faintly, "Indeed, I am injured. But didn’t you still fall into my control?"

Before Shuman Qing could speak, Shuman Na shouted in an almost frenzied tone.

"That’s because you set a trap, and we didn’t realize it in time, so you succeeded. You despicable villain, have the guts to let us out and fight us openly!"

Shuman Na already knew that there was no hope for survival this time, so she simply went all out.

Who knows, maybe Xue An would really let them out under her provocation.

But although her wishful thinking was nice, the result was destined to be a failure.

Xue An merely smiled indifferently, too lazy to explain to such people.

Beside him, Sheng Hongqian couldn’t help but mockingly say.

"The young master didn’t force you to jump into the trap. It was you who harbored ill intentions and returned here to attempt an assassination. Imagine if you hadn’t come back; you wouldn’t have fallen into an ambush!"

Shuman Na was left speechless and became incensed.

If it were Xue An saying a couple of things, that would be one thing, but being mocked by Sheng Hongqian was too much for her to accept.

One must know that in the past, Sheng Hongqian was not even qualified to speak to her.

Just as she was about to curse, Shuman Qing suddenly reached out to stop her, then took a deep breath and slowly said.

"It’s useless to say anything now. I know I can’t escape, but before I die, can I die knowing why?"

"What do you want to know?" Xue An asked indifferently.

"What’s the deal with this trap? Why did my sister and I feel nothing unusual when watching from outside the window?"

This was also Shuman Qing’s area of doubt.

She was naturally cautious, and if she didn’t have full confidence, she would never strike.

Previously, when spying outside the window, she clearly felt that Xue An and Niu Dali were truly present and not some illusory art like projections.

She had absolute confidence in this, so she really couldn’t understand why when it came to taking action, Xue An and the others became illusions.

Facing her question, Xue An said nothing.

"Actually, you didn’t see wrong. Those of us sitting at the table were indeed real!"

Shuman Qing’s eyes gradually widened, "The real you?"

"That’s right! I know you are a very cautious person, especially in this situation, so no matter how perfect an illusion, it couldn’t dispel your doubts. So I simply appeared as my true self at the table to lure you out!"

"But from when we spied outside the window to finally taking action, you were under my surveillance the entire time. There was no interruption. How did you escape then?"

"It’s simple. We never escaped. We just slightly shifted space when you attacked, and after your sword struck empty air, I used a small illusory art, so you were deceived!" Xue An said plainly.

"So after the sword struck empty air, you were actually beside us?"

Xue An nodded, "I was just ten centimeters to the left of that sword. If your sword had deviated slightly, it might have hurt me!"

This left not only Shuman Qing but also Shuman Na dumbfounded.

Who could have thought that Xue An would take such a risk and set up such a meticulous killing trap.

"Madman, truly a madman!" Shuman Na murmured regretfully.

Xue An then looked at Shuman Qing, "Well? Any more questions?"

Shuman Qing snapped out of her slight trance, then smiled bitterly, "Well calculated, I lose without regret. But can I know how you managed to set up such a killing trap while gravely injured?"

Obviously, the spatial force Xue An used was derived from her rule power. But Shuman Qing knew it requires strong cultivation level to forcibly drive such Rule Power.

The problem was, Xue An looked clearly exhausted, how could he possibly drive the rules?

Xue An smiled faintly, "That’s even simpler."

With that, he waved his hand lightly, and the ground, walls, and even the ceiling of the gathering hall were revealed to be covered with dazzling runes.

"Formation?" Shuman Qing shuddered, exclaiming.

"That’s right, it’s a Formation! For me, as long as there are enough Spirit Stones, I can create any Formation!"

Shuman Qing was silent for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "I see. Then I have nothing more to say, do it!"
