When Ning jing was in a confused state, Kylo casually attacked her with a mana beam which was easily prevented by Avery.
He did not have any intention to hurt anyone with the beam. He just wanted to provoke them a little.
And he did it!! They attacked with most of their strengths just as he wanted.
Earlier when he was guiding primordial energy in his body (the sword) he noticed that the more he attacks the more triggered the formation will be.
He right now did not have the strength to fight them head on. He did not have any treasure to have them retreat.
So he had to use the formation on his 'body' to retaliate. But for that he needed a lot of energy. He can easily use the energy in the cave but he doesn't know if it'll regenerate again by itself since he did not had enough time to study.
Just as their attacks were about to reach the cave he opened the cave with the help of connection he had with the sword.
He held the 130 cm long claymore in his hand and pointed it towards the attacks that was coming towards him.
He guided all the attacks towards the sword. To be exact towards the formation inside the sword.
And just as he expected the formation reacted violently towards the intruder.
It immediately formed a shell around the formation to prevent any attack from damaging it.
Kylo was stunned. He thought the formation will attack like it did previously to him but no it just guarded the formation.
Now Kylo was tensed. He was racking his brain what to do and suddenly something clicked him.
He used primordial energy and shot it towards the formation along with other attacks. Just as he expected the formation also shot a beam towards the primordial energy. But Kylo did not want that.
He thought of something and then he mixed the primordial energy, very little and weaker compared to other times when he used, in the miasma that Tang sanzang shot.
And the result was what he expected. The demonic formation started going wild. The formation began shining and it started expanding outside the sword.
[So when other energy attacks it will just defend the formation since it thinks they are not worthy of his retaliation.
When I attack with primordial energy it will be angered and retaliate and attack only the primordial energy and not the owner showing respect to the primordial energy.
If any demonic energy weaker than the formation attacks it'll attack the owner as the formation takes it as disrespect.
And since I mixed a weak primordial energy within it the formation swallowed the primordial energy and strengthened the formation.
But it was angered by the demonic energy showing it disrespect so it is retaliating.]
Kylo thought all this when the formation was activating itself.
"I think I am understanding the owner of the formation a little more" Kylo chucked while he muttered to himself.
He then proceeded to observe the surroundings. And just as he expected the formation sealed the them completely.
He could see how desperately they were attacking the formation.
He could also see how the bald monk was pressured since he was the owner of miasma attack.
And he could also see the beautiful hooded lady and immediately thought of the conclusions he came to after seeing them arriving.
Thus he confidently transferred a mental message to her...
"I never expected to see you here. What would happen if they come to know you are hiding in this province?"
...which immediately froze her.
She did not know who the speaker was.
She did not know what the speaker knew.
But with those 2 sentences that were transmitted froze her mind, her body and her soul.
But it was only for a second.
Then just like a crazy bitch she released all her aura everywhere.
The snake beside her who was unguarded towards her and focusing all of his attention on the attack towards the formation was completely blown.
Xia changhe who was using his sword to attack the top was similarly blown away by the hysterical aura.
She was in the 2nd step of Combat soul realm. A powerhouse many levels above Xia changhe.
Xia changhe unaware of what just happened flew away and crashed towards the other end of the formation.
One look and anyone would come to the same conclusion: Heavily injured!
