Chapter 2167: Master Zhi and Chubby Chiu Arrive

When the two swords were held against the necks of the Wisdom Angel and the Burning Angel, both could only halt their actions.

Soon after, a tap on each rendered their Yuan Force and Vital Energy sealed.

Afterward, they finally saw who had restrained them.

A girl with exquisite beauty and a person in black clothes wrapped tightly, hiding their gender.

As they were immobilized, the person in black turned to the girl and asked, "Zhizhi, is the Formation complete?"

The voice of a youthful and pure boy echoed.

The Wisdom Angel and Burning Angel were utterly astonished.

A boy?

So, they were defeated by a girl and a boy?

Unaware of the thoughts in Wisdom Angel and Burning Angel’s minds, Gu Zhiqi simply nodded to Chubby Chiu’s question, then coldly remarked, "Watch them closely."

Having said so, she turned directly toward the leader and Su Yunling.

Looking at Su Yunling, who was in agony within the Formation, Gu Zhiqi’s eyes turned both a bit colder and slightly redder.

Her aura grew increasingly chilly.

Gu Zhiqi was not walking slowly, yet she felt her feet were heavy.

She felt it took a long time to reach the edge of the Formation.

In fact, only a few seconds had passed.

Inside the Formation, Su Yunling was enduring unbearable pain.

However, upon seeing Gu Zhiqi’s figure, Su Yunling paused for a moment, and all the pain seemed to vanish momentarily.

"Zhi... Zhizhi."

Su Yunling gritted his teeth and squeezed out the words.

Gu Zhiqi ignored him, not even meeting his gaze.

When Su Yunling looked toward her, she diverted her eyes elsewhere.

Su Yunling knew she was probably angry.

Angry at him for risking his life.

Yet, he couldn’t tell if the scene before him was a pain-induced illusion or reality.

Unaware of what Su Yunling was thinking, Gu Zhiqi reached the edge of the Formation and began performing hand seals.

"It can’t be interrupted!"

Just as Gu Zhiqi started the hand seals, the Burning Angel’s voice emerged from behind her.

"If the Soul Exchange ritual is interrupted, both of them will die!" the Burning Angel yelled to Gu Zhiqi.

Gu Zhiqi’s hand seal movements paused for a moment, but then continued as if she hadn’t heard.

Seeing this, the Burning Angel was frantic, "If the leader dies, the body will explode, and by then, we’ll all die. Not only us, but even Nine Stars City will also be turned to dust and..." ashes.

"Pa!"

Before the Burning Angel could finish speaking, a slap landed on him.

Chubby Chiu was naturally the one who slapped him.

The Burning Angel widened his eyes, looking at Chubby Chiu, "You dare hit..." me.

"Pa!"

Before finishing his sentence, he was slapped again.

Chubby Chiu: "Shut up if you’re not allowed to speak."

Burning Angel: "..."

He wanted to kill them!

Yet, all he could do was to think about it.

To avoid further slaps, the Burning Angel stayed silent, but his eyes were fixed tightly on Gu Zhiqi, not moving away.

With Gu Zhiqi completing the sequence of hand seals, the Burning Angel was on edge, his heart in his throat.

As Gu Zhiqi directed the hand seals towards the Formation and pressed the button on the device, the Burning Angel abruptly closed his eyes.

Waiting for the sound of the explosion, waiting for the feeling of pain.

However...

One second passed, there was no explosion, and no pain.

Two seconds passed, still none.

Three seconds elapsed...

The Burning Angel slowly opened his eyes, only to see the Soul Exchange talisman array had vanished. The leader’s body hadn’t exploded; he had merely fainted, enveloped by a faint Energy Shield around him.
