rray. They would have been caught up by Zhao Clan members who were familiar with the illusion techniques long ago."Not good! That old thing Zhao Mushing is incredibly cunning." After following Huoyan...As for the ordinary feud and killings between cultivators, Lu Xiaotian was too lazy to bother with them, nor could he possibly intervene. However, this family being surrounded happened to be someone he knew well - the very same family that sold him the Qixing Array. It was truly a coincidence to run into them here. Looking at it, the bald old man's injuries didn't seem light.

Lu Xia Tian's heart skipped a beat. The Hunyuan Jing mentioned the Five Elements Formation Pill, with annotations on the Five Elements Formation technique. Lu Xia Tian had read it several times, but he had never been exposed to the art of formations. Furthermore, the Five Elements Formation technique was profound and difficult to understand. After a few readings, he still couldn't grasp it, so he temporarily put it aside, thinking that when he had time, he would find someone who understood formations to ask about it. However, on the one hand, he had a lot of things to do, searching for spiritual objects in dangerous places. On the other hand, he hadn't encountered a suitable formation master. If there was someone who understood formations to explain it to him, it would be much easier than him studying it himself.

Just like alchemy, formations require a good master. In fact, the way of formations is even more dependent on a good teacher than alchemy. Even with alchemy, if one doesn't have an array to continuously ripen various spiritual objects and often repeats refining a single elixir dozens or even hundreds of times, based on his previous success rate in alchemy, he would have long since gone bankrupt. He probably wouldn't even have reached the peak of the Qi Refining Stage. This life, he could only struggle in the Qi Refining Stage. In this cruel environment of the Cultivation world, it is estimated that it would be difficult to find peace.

It's not necessary to say that the family behind him is a renowned family of formations. His research on Five Elements Formations would definitely benefit from their knowledge. Even the Seven Stars Formation obtained from them had saved his life several times out of danger. Lu Xia Tian wouldn't ignore them, after all, it wasn't too much trouble to help them avert this current crisis. As for these people in front of him, they sounded like cultivators from a family. With a little disguise, there would be no worries about being recognized.

“Haha, old bald man, I didn't expect your Earth Barrier to be so easily broken by me!” The short and fat man with his arms crossed looked at the family of four in front of him with a smug smile.

“I have no grievances with you or the Zhaojiazhuang people. Why are you pressing me so hard” The bald elder vomited blood, even with pieces of damaged internal organs inside, showing how deeply injured he was at this time.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

“You and I have no feud, but your blood feud with my fiancée is deeply rooted. Have you ever heard of the Zhang family from Chi Qinling” The short and stout man sneered coldly.

“So you're an accomplice of the Zhang family from Chi Qinling. No wonder, no wonder. In that case, I was the one who offended the Zhang family initially, and it has nothing to do with others. Let them go, and I will surrender.” The bald old man sighed.

"Father, how can we abandon you and run away We still have the Seven Star Formation. At worst, we'll fight these guys to the death!" The man supporting the bald old man had a face full of hatred, his temples bulging with veins, his eyes like those of a killer.

“The Seven Stars Formation” The other six men behind the short, stout man heard these three words and their faces changed instantly. They all took several steps back at the same time, clearly frightened by the reputation of the Seven Stars Formation.

"Go scare the ghosts! With that flawed Seven Star Formation you have, you can't possibly stop my Emperor Rock Spear!" The short and stout man scoffed, then shouted to those beside him, "What are you standing there for Hurry up and hand over what I want. Don't make me wait or I'll punish you all when we get back."

"Alright, everyone, shoulder to shoulder, let's take down these guys!" A sturdy young man who had followed the short and stout cultivator for many years and was relatively obedient responded first. He grabbed his weapon, a long sword, and charged headlong into the fray.

Once there was a leader, the others naturally weren't so afraid.

“I’m going all out against you!” The young man, filled with youthful bravado, could no longer hold back and was about to charge forward to fight these cultivators to the death.

"Zhen'er, step back!" The man in gray who supported the bald old man shouted, causing his wife to help her father. Facing the six Foundation Establishment cultivators rushing over, and with the short, fat man sitting behind them, they were likely outnumbered this time. The man in gray threw out several spirit disks.

With a buzzing sound, the formation was activated. Blades of energy erupted from within, though the number and sharpness were not as formidable as a genuine Seven Star Formation. Nonetheless, they were sufficient to handle an ordinary Foundation Establishment late-stage cultivator.

The six cultivators enveloped by the formation were taken aback, desperately resisting the sword energy surging in from all sides.

The six cultivators who attacked hadn't surpassed the middle stage of Qi Refining. Even if they charged into the formation, they wouldn't be able to gain much advantage. However, when Lu Xiaoteng saw the short and fat man take out a rusty-brown spike and grin wickedly, he knew that if he didn't make a move soon, the grey-clothed man would probably not last long. The seven-star formation in front of him was clearly just an ordinary formation based on the seven-star formation. Although its power was decent and could allow the grey-clothed man to deal with several cultivators of the same level, it was still insufficient against the short and fat man who possessed a Dan Yuan artifact.

"Zhen'er, go, run quickly, leave the formation to me." Seeing the short and stout man wield the Emperor's Rock Thorn, the bald old man's face drastically changed, and he vomited another mouthful of blood in a panic.

"Can we go" Seeing that the gray-robed man's display wasn't a real Seven Star Formation, the short and stout man let out a breath of relief. As long as it wasn't a foundation-building level first kill formation, he wouldn't take it seriously.

The earthen-colored Diyan thorn, with its poisonous needles, repeatedly stabbed at the protective shield generated by the formation. With each thrust of the Diyan thorn, the shield would violently tremble. After enduring eight strikes from the Diyan thorn, the shield shattered with a roar, and several formation disks sputtered up plumes of black smoke under the strain.

At this moment, the six cultivators who were flustered by the sword qi within the formation suddenly felt light on their bodies. They were free from those annoying sword qi. The couple in front of them, as the formation masters, were nothing more than lambs to be slaughtered. As for that cultivator at the peak of the Qi Refining stage, no one had looked at him seriously from beginning to end. After all, in their eyes, a Qi Refining cultivator was about the same as an ant.

These people suddenly felt a terrifying sword energy descending from the sky. The sword energy was so intense that even their breathing became difficult. The short, stout man was the most powerful and reacted faster than anyone else. He immediately abandoned his target, the man in gray robes, and parried backward. A surge of immense force rushed into him through the tip of his spear, causing him excruciating pain in his chest.

Before he could react, a chill ran down his neck as a black flying sword pressed against it. The cold sword intent made him feel that if he dared to move, the sword would instantly cut off his head.

"Yes, yes, which esteemed friend are you Sneaking up on someone from behind isn't what a true hero would do." The short and stout man felt death so close for the first time, he was trembling just speaking.
