Chapter 252: I Have My Own Choices

Seeing that Wu Li was determined to fight him to the death, Saint Child Wen Tianren became anxious. However, due to Zhang Tie's relentless entanglement, he was unable to break free. Although he did not know the extent of Wu Li's attainments in Formations, Saint Child Wen Tianren knew that he absolutely could not let Wu Li complete what he was trying to do.

Otherwise, he would definitely end up dead or severely injured.

Although he had contacted his followers, it would take some time for them to arrive, given their Grand Unity Golden Immortal cultivation levels. By the time they arrived, it would likely be too late to salvage the situation.

However, very soon, Saint Child Wen Tianren saw Nangong Wan standing not far away. His eyes lit up, and he shouted,

"Fellow Daoist over there, since you are standing there without making a move, you must not want to be an enemy of my Myriad Thunder Sect. This Saint promises that if you slay this thief, I can take you back to the Myriad Thunder Sect to apprentice under any Immortal Emperor Elder. How about it?"

Nangong Wan had originally just been standing to the side, not intervening only because it seemed there was no need for her to do so.

But upon hearing that Saint Child Wen Tianren actually wanted her to attack Wu Li, she couldn't help but be stunned in place. She admitted that the conditions offered by Saint Child Wen Tianren were extremely generous and enticing, but one needed to be alive to enjoy them.

Furthermore, Saint Child Wen Tianren's Luck had originally been purple, but after fighting with Wu Li, in less than two and a half hours, it had plummeted directly from purple to orange.

And it looked like it was far from over, so under these circumstances, if she were to attack Wu Li, she would be courting death.

As for Wu Li, upon hearing Saint Child Wen Tianren's words, he also readied his trump cards. If Nangong Wan showed any signs of hostility, he wouldn't mind killing her here as well.

With his current means, killing another Great Luo Golden Immortal Initial Stage cultivator would not be difficult.

And the next second, Nangong Wan spoke.

"Saint Wen, am I stupid to choose to attack Fellow Daoist Wu? Fellow Daoist Wu is my teammate. If I were to attack my own teammate, and that were to spread, how would I ever be able to show my face outside again?"

Having said that, a hint of mockery appeared in Nangong Wan's eyes as she looked at Saint Child Wen Tianren. This made Saint Child Wen Tianren furious, but even by going all-out, he had no way to deal with Nangong Wan and Wu Li.

After hearing Nangong Wan's words, Wu Li did not lower his guard. After all, who knew if Nangong Wan was saying one thing but intending to do another?

But Nangong Wan indeed did not intervene, so very soon, Wu Li completed the Formation setup.

The next second, as three hundred and sixty massive pillars of light rose from the ground, the aura of the Formation erupted. The terrifying aura radiating from it was even sensed by the Immortals throughout the entire Azure Lightning Secret Realm, and they couldn't help but cast solemn expressions in that direction.

"What a terrifying aura. This aura has probably reached at least the Immortal King level."

"Hiss, we had better not get involved. It would be too easy for an Immortal King to crush us Grand Unity Golden Immortals to death."

"That's true. In that case, let's just pretend nothing happened."

After feeling the terror of this aura, most Immortals chose not to head over. After all, they could more or less guess that this commotion was likely caused by an expert at the Immortal King level, and for them, as Grand Unity Golden Immortals, getting involved would be courting death.

However, unlike those experts, the Disciples of the Myriad Thunder Sect felt differently. Upon sensing this aura, the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Disciples of the Myriad Thunder Sect couldn't help but look grim, and they increased their speed.

If the Saint Child were to meet with disaster here, they probably wouldn't have a good end upon returning to the Myriad Thunder Sect. After all, given how protective the Sect Master is of his own, they would most likely end up as funeral offerings for Saint Child Wen Tianren.

On the other side, after sensing the power of this Formation, Saint Child Wen Tianren's expression became extremely terrified.

"How is this possible? This is a Grade 6 Immortal Formation! How is it possible? How could you, a mere Golden Immortal, be a Grade 6 Formation Master!"

Formations are divided into grades one through nine. Grades eight and nine are collectively known as Immortal Emperor Formation Masters; as the name implies, the Formations they set up have great effects even on Immortal Emperors.

A Grade 6 Immortal Formation already has a significant effect on Immortal Sovereigns, let alone him, who was only a mere Immortal King. A Grade 6 Immortal Formation was enough to crush him.

Thinking of this, Saint Child Wen Tianren struggled even more frantically. Deep red lightning swept out from Saint Child Wen Tianren's body, erupting in all directions. Ordinary Grand Unity Golden Immortals would die upon contact.

Wu Li's expression also appeared extremely grave, and he shouted,

"Careful!"

In fact, there was no need for Wu Li to speak; Nangong Wan naturally knew this. She exhausted all her means, but could only barely block the lightning.

Conversely, on the other side, Wu Li reached out his hand. In an instant, the three hundred and sixty pillars of light within the Formation erupted with extremely brilliant light, rushing toward Wu Li and shielding him. Thousands of lightning bolts were all blocked in front of the light shield.

"Formation, rise!"

Following Wu Li's loud shout, the next second, countless beams of light emerged from the three hundred and sixty pillars of light, enveloping Wu Li. This caused Wu Li's aura to become terrifying in a short period, creating pressure that even Saint Child Wen Tianren, at the Immortal King Early Stage, couldn't help but tremble at.

Not far away, as Saint Child Wen Tianren's lightning disappeared, Nangong Wan was finally able to catch her breath. Looking back at the Formation, her eyes searched, and soon she thought of something, causing her to gasp in cold air.

"Hiss, this is… the Ten Thousand Light Source Formation!"

Clearly, Nangong Wan had recognized this Formation. As the Saint Child of the Myriad Thunder Sect, Saint Child Wen Tianren naturally recognized it too, and his expression was incredibly ugly.

Wu Li, however, did not speak; he looked at Saint Child Wen Tianren and said,

"You, it is time to hit the road!"

"Ha, hahaha! Who lives and who dies is not yet certain!"

Saint Child Wen Tianren roared. The next second, he forced Zhang Tie back with a spear strike and then charged toward Wu Li.

Seeing this, Wu Li sighed. Just as he was intending to kill him with a single punch, he did not expect that when Saint Child Wen Tianren rushed in front of him, he would suddenly detonate himself.

The power of an Immortal King's self-detonation could not be underestimated; it was likely that nearly half of the Azure Lightning Secret Realm would be affected.

The moment he saw Saint Child Wen Tianren detonate himself, Wu Li had no time to think. He could only use all his own power to suppress Saint Child Wen Tianren's self-detonation. With the support of the Ten Thousand Light Source Formation, Wu Li could possess the strength of an Immortal Sovereign Early Stage for a short time.

Therefore, suppressing the self-detonation of a mere Saint Child Wen Tianren was incredibly easy. However, after the suppression was completed, Wu Li furrowed his brows slightly, feeling something was not quite right, and looked into the distance.

He saw a figure fleeing in a sorry state in the distance; it was none other than Saint Child Wen Tianren.
