**[MSBISS] Chapter 79**
"Sister Xiao Ye!"
Bian Rourou and Fang Xiao, ignoring their injuries, rushed over to help Xiao Ye up.
"Ahem."
Xiao Ye's face was pale, displaying pain, yet her eyes shone with excitement.
Her eyes were ablaze.
Facing such an opponent, she could learn so much.
Xiao Ye didn't bother with pleasantries; she pointed in a direction and urged, "Go, go there!"
Bian Rourou was puzzled. "What are we going there for?"
Fang Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "It doesn't matter where we go."
The three of them had lost the ability to fight. Anywhere they went looked the same, and they wouldn't be able to escape.
"Move quickly! Before he reacts!"
Xiao Ye was anxious. "Trust me."
Even though they thought it was pointless, Bian Rourou and Fang Xiao had no choice.
They didn't want to sit there and wait to die.
The two supported Xiao Ye, and the three of them hurried to the place she indicated.
Bian Rourou summoned a magical weapon to envelop them, and their speed suddenly increased.
"Don't let them get away!"
The disciples of the Dianxing Sect caught up quickly behind them.
Xiao Ye and the others were not particularly fast. Fortunately, Xin Zhi didn't pursue them immediately, giving the three a chance to catch their breath.
Soon, they arrived at the location Xiao Ye mentioned.
It was where Lu Chen had been wandering not long ago.
Xiao Ye collapsed on the ground. The distance wasn't far, but her physical strength was so depleted that she felt incredibly weak.
Bian Rourou and Fang Xiao were in a similar state.
Bian Rourou glanced around and found nothing special.
"Sister Xiao Ye, what should we do now that we've come here?"
Bian Rourou's gaze drifted toward Xia Yu and Xuan Yunxin, who were engaged in fierce combat in the distance.
A hint of self-blame crept into her eyes. "I couldn't help Senior Sister."
Looking at Xin Zhi and the Dianxing Sect disciples who were chasing them, Xiao Ye's voice was weary. "I did my best."
"It's okay. You did a great job."
Bian Rourou patted her hand reassuringly. "Much more reliable than your second senior brother."
Reflecting on the earlier battle, Bian Rourou's astonishment lingered.
She never expected that Xiao Ye would actually comprehend the sword's intent.
Though Fang Xiao had informed her beforehand, seeing it firsthand was still an incredible shock.
The sword's intent was incredibly powerful.
With Xiao Ye's strength, she had managed to break through Xin Zhi's protective barrier.
Even with his realm and strength lowered, it was nothing short of astonishing.
Xiao Ye shook her head, about to mention something regarding Lu Chen.
But her spiritual energy was a chaotic mess, racing around her body like frightened cattle, leaving her uncomfortable.
It was unbearable. Forget it; she wouldn't defend her second senior brother.
On the contrary, it seemed he wouldn't care either.
Fang Xiao asked, "Sister Xiao Ye, where's your second senior brother?"
With everything happening, wasn't Lu Chen going to take action? How long would he wait?
Bian Rourou gritted her teeth. "Don't mention that coward. He must have escaped from the battlefield."
Xiao Ye was puzzled. "I don't know either. The second senior brother just told us to stay here."
"Wait, who does he think he is? Do we feel safe here?"
Bian Rourou seethed with resentment; she wished Lu Chen were in front of her so she could unleash her frustration.
A coward, a bastard who fled from a fight.
Not a man.
"Yes, you think you're safe hiding here? You fled here, and do you think that will protect you?"
Xin Zhi led the Dianxing Sect disciples to surround them, glaring at Xiao Ye with murderous intent.
There was a bloodstain on his left cheek where blood flowed.
Though Xin Zhi had knocked Xiao Ye away in time, she had still wounded him.
The sword light, infused with sword intent, left a scar on his face.
Feeling the pain radiating from his face, Xin Zhi was consumed with hatred and fury.
"You are the first one who has managed to hurt me."
"In return, I will repay you well."
His tone was calm but sent chills down everyone's spine.
Xin Zhi's murderous intent surged. The fact that Xiao Ye had injured him was a severe humiliation.
He was wounded by someone in the Qi Refining stage while he was at the Golden Elixir stage. If word spread, how would he continue to operate?
Only by killing Xiao Ye could he vent his hatred and salvage what little face remained.
Xuan Yunxin's earlier words about sparing lives had already been dismissed.
If he didn't kill her, he felt he would lose his mind.
"If you don't escape, then you will die!"
A spiritual talisman appeared in Xin Zhi's hand, radiating terrifying light. Just as he was about to launch an attack, a sudden change occurred.
A gust of wind materialized out of nowhere, howling as if it carried countless strands of spiritual energy.
Then, an invisible hand began stirring, directing the surrounding aura in one direction.
The immense aura resembled a school of fish swimming together.
The overwhelming spiritual energy filled everyone with an oppressive weight, inducing panic.
It felt as if something were emerging from the ground around them, like a cover descending from the sky and enveloping everyone.
Suddenly, white mist appeared around them, spreading rapidly and obscuring everyone in the blink of an eye.
"Oops, I can't sense anything!"
"Junior Brother, where are you?"
"Senior Brother, I'm right in front of you. My spiritual sense is useless now!"
"Senior Brother Xin Zhi, where are you?"
The Dianxing Sect disciples frantically shouted.
Xin Zhi's expression shifted dramatically. At first, he could still hear his juniors' voices, but as the white mist thickened, not only could he no longer hear them, but their figures disappeared from view.
He was alone.
"Damn it, a mysterious formation?"
Once he realized what was happening, his expression darkened.
He thought of Lu Chen wandering here not long ago.
It was unbelievable; his shock was evident. "Is it that guy? Did he set up the formation quietly?"
"But!"
Xin Zhi quickly sneered, "The Lost Tracing Formation is only a second-grade formation. Do you really think it can trap me?"
Generally, there are two methods to break a formation.
The first is to understand the formation well enough to find and destroy the formation eye; once that is done, the formation can be broken.
The second is to break the formation by brute force, using overwhelming power to destroy it regardless of the formation's backlash.
The Lost Tracing Formation is a second-grade formation and not particularly high-ranked.
In Xin Zhi's view, breaking it would be easy.
He felt that Lu Chen's strength was insignificant and that the formation he had deployed would be no concern.
A magic talisman appeared in his hand.
"Go!"
Xin Zhi shouted loudly.
However, after the powerful spiritual talisman disappeared into the white mist, it sank like a stone in the sea without making a sound.
"Damn it, I won't accept this!"
Xin Zhi shouted again, throwing out two more spiritual talismans.
This time, there was a slight reaction.
The slowly spreading white mist suddenly paused.
Though it wasn't a significant halt, Xin Zhi felt it.
He smiled coldly. "Is that it? I'll break your broken formation today!"
Xin Zhi stepped forward, and the scenery around him changed drastically.
Xin Zhi remained calm, several spiritual talismans appearing in his hand as he prepared to attack the formation.
