Chapter 1040: Chapter 1040: Barrier

Bai Xiaofan held Su Shiqi’s small hand and walked with Kong Kong through the Wang family’s front courtyard towards the backyard.

The scale of the Wang family’s mansion seemed slightly larger than that of the Ji family.

Along the way, there were many assassins lurking, waiting for the opportunity to cause some trouble for Bai Xiaofan and his companions, or better yet, injure them!

However, these people were ridiculously weak.

So weak that Bai Xiaofan managed to deal with them all with just a wave of his hand!

Glancing at the hall in the Wang family’s backyard, where the Family Head should be, Bai Xiaofan turned and walked towards the direction of the basement where He Miaor and Jiang Feifei were held.

Just as the three of them reached the top of the basement entrance, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed.

The lush greenery from the plants suddenly turned into an endless desert.

Meanwhile, around Bai Xiaofan and his companions, shadows dressed in black suddenly appeared.

These figures held katanas, their eyes filled with a sinister gleam, and when looking at Bai Xiaofan and his companions, there was no trace of emotion, as if gazing at three dead people.

“What kind of Formation is this? I can’t sense any trace of its fluctuations!”

Staring at the sudden change in front of him, Kong Kong frowned slightly, speaking with some confusion.

“This isn’t any ordinary Formation. It should be a barrier set up by that old immortal Witch Elder with others joining forces, and these people in front of us are pawns they control at will!”

Bai Xiaofan explained softly, then looked up with a slight narrowing of his eyes.

“Witch Elder, I know you can hear me. Do you really think, with these small fry and your pathetic barrier, you can take on me?”

Bai Xiaofan’s words echoed within the surrounding space.

The space of the barrier wasn’t large, about a hundred or so meters in size.

A bunch of black-clothed figures stood still, not attacking, seemingly waiting for orders!

“Bai Xiaofan, you certainly didn’t disappoint me. Such heavy injuries and you recovered so quickly!”

As the words fell, a domineering yet old voice resounded all around, making it impossible to determine where the speaker was hiding!

“But you did disappoint me. I never thought you’d resort to such despicable methods after planning for so long, afraid to even show up in person. Are you worried I’ll kill you with a single strike?”

Bai Xiaofan smiled faintly, releasing his Divine Sense slowly, trying to locate the hidden Witch Elder.

However, to Bai Xiaofan’s frustration, he realized that the barrier set by Witch Elder had the ability to block Divine Sense exploration.

It seemed the opponent knew him well, understanding how powerful his Divine Sense was, and had set this barrier to prevent its use.

“Hehe, once you break this sand barrier, you’ll naturally see me, and oh, you’ll also see your two good friends!”

The Witch Elder, crafty as expected, completely ignored Bai Xiaofan’s provocative words, showing no sign of anger, and after a sinister laugh, there was no more sound!

Soon after, the black-clad samurai before Bai Xiaofan and his companions began to move, disappearing from their sight in a flash.

“Be careful!”

Bai Xiaofan warned in a low voice, kicking out a strike.

Bang!

A black-clad samurai flew backwards from Bai Xiaofan’s kick, spitting out a mouthful of blood mid-air.

Meanwhile, Kong Kong used his Divine Sense to sense every move around them, ready to strike back at the slightest disturbance without showing any mercy!

In this space, it was just the three of them, with Su Shiqi firmly held by Bai Xiaofan.

So if there was any other energy fluctuation, it must be from those black-clad samurai without a doubt.

As things were, even though these black-clad samurai were numerous and strong, and quite stealthy.

They couldn’t do any harm to Bai Xiaofan and Kong Kong, both of whom were experts with unique methods to sense energy fluctuations!

However, Bai Xiaofan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

His intuition told him this barrier couldn’t be that simple.

The Witch Elder knew how strong his Divine Sense was, otherwise this barrier wouldn’t have severed its ability to look outside!

So it’s clear the Witch Elder knew these black-clad samurai couldn’t harm him!

So, what is the purpose of setting up this barrier?

“Xiaofan, look, all those black-clad samurai you and Kong Kong killed have disappeared!”

At that moment, Su Shiqi quietly reminded from the side.

Upon hearing Su Shiqi’s words, Bai Xiaofan quickly looked towards the spots where the slain samurai had fallen.

Indeed, faint bloodstains still marked the sandy ground.

But the bodies on those bloodstains had vanished!

Following this realization, Bai Xiaofan carefully monitored everything around him, including watching the movements of the slain samurai by him and Kong Kong.

More than half an hour passed, and Kong Kong was reaching the limits of his energy.

After all, he was severely injured before, his energy wasn’t as abundant as Bai Xiaofan’s!

“You sit down and recover a bit!”

Bai Xiaofan raised his hand and threw out three Jade Pendants, forming a triangle on the ground.

Then a finger technique was used on these three Jade Pendants.

Instantly, a pale white light flashed by.

Kong Kong stepped into the space between the three Jade Pendants and sat down cross-legged.

After a while, Bai Xiaofan finally figured out what was going on with this barrier.

“Witch Elder, you’re truly insidious, to have added a Bewildering Net barrier within this sand barrier! But you underestimate me; do you think this alone can drain all my energy?”

Bai Xiaofan detected the key point of the barrier and couldn’t help but speak to the front, a mocking smile on his lips.

This time, there was no response from the Witch Elder to Bai Xiaofan’s words.

Outside the barrier, Witch Elder, Wang Zhankun, and an elder stood together, watching Bai Xiaofan stand proudly inside the barrier with grave expressions.

“Witch Elder, what now? He seems to have found the weak spot of this barrier!”

The elder next to Wang Zhankun, hearing Bai Xiaofan’s words, turned to ask the Witch Elder with a trace of concern in his eyes!
