Chapter 1258 If you're so capable, come down here!
The spiritual energy that had just been extracted from all the cultivators below suddenly had a tangible direction.
It will no longer disappear without a trace.
As if drawn by some invisible force, like rivers flowing into the sea, they surged wildly towards a certain spot in the space at the bottom of the tower...
That was also the location where Ning Ruan made her voice.
"Huh, it seems to actually work."
Ning Ruan's voice rang out again, still in that unhurried tone.
The only difference was that his calm tone now clearly contained a hint of amusement.
"How could this be... your immortal artifact... your immortal artifact, how could this be..."
The figure in the gray haze lost control for the first time.
But he quickly regained his composure and said to the still stunned Flame Spider Clan cultivators below, "If you help me seize her immortal artifact, I will let you leave immediately."
"But that's only if they can actually win it," Ning Ruan said softly, showing no fear whatsoever, but rather as calm as if she were at home.
"Fellow members of the Flame Spider Clan, you'd better think this through. I'm right here, but if you dare to attack me..."
"Or, if you step within ten meters, then I can only ask you all to die."
These few simple words acted like an invisible barrier, instantly halting the restless Flame Spider Clan cultivators below.
The power of the sword talisman is still vivid in my mind.
If their cultivation had not been forcibly suppressed, they would naturally not be afraid of the damage from those sword talismans.
The problem is that they can only exert the cultivation level of the ninth realm right now.
Even the defensive magical artifacts on his body couldn't hold out for long.
...What's worse is that the bottom of the tower is still frantically draining their spiritual energy.
Who can bear this?
"Don't listen to her nonsense!"
The gray-clad figure shouted sharply from the top of the tower, "She's just bluffing! No matter how many sword talismans she has, she can't possibly deal with all of you."
"Attack together! The immortal artifact is right in front of you. Once you get it and hand it over to me, you can leave."
The temptation to go out is naturally greater.
Incited by the gray figure, a large number of Flame Spider Clan cultivators, after a moment's hesitation, made their decision once again.
This time, however, there are clearly more people involved.
In the blink of an eye, countless spider silk threads, wrapped in flames, flew toward Ning Ruan.
They did not step within ten meters.
However, the fire could penetrate deep into the enemy lines.
It's obvious they want to find out the exact location of the immortal artifact first.
Ning Ruan was not surprised.
It would be strange if she could frighten the Flame Spider Clan into inaction with just a few words.
The spider silk was almost within reach.
In mid-air, where nothing could be seen, stacks of sword talismans flew out one after another.
The exact number of sword talismans is so large that no one knows.
Looking around, all one could see was a sky full of sword light, pouring down like a torrential downpour, illuminating the entire space at the bottom of the tower as if it were daytime.
The incoming fire lines were shredded by the sword light before they even got close.
Even without the line of fire, the sword light continued its relentless advance, penetrating straight into the ranks of the Flame Spider Clan cultivators behind them.
"what--!"
The screams immediately became a continuous chorus.
"Don't retreat! If you retreat, you'll have died for nothing!"
Someone roared in anger and urged the fire line to attack again.
However, they were met with an even denser barrage of sword light.
And Ning Ruan's voice was somewhat lazy and calm: "It seems you won't shed tears until you see the coffin."
As soon as he finished speaking, the number of sword talismans doubled again.
As if there were no limits, it rained down from all directions.
"No! Back away!"
Finally, some of the Flame Spider Clan cultivators realized something was wrong and shouted loudly, trying to retreat.
But it's too late.
Sword light intertwined, descending like a net from heaven and earth, instantly engulfing the Flame Spider Clan cultivators who were trying to retreat.
"what--!"
Screams rose and fell, and the entire space at the bottom of the tower was soon stained red with blood.
"Should we continue? Perhaps you can gamble again on whether I've run out of sword talismans."
Ning Ruan's voice remained calm, yet it possessed a chilling penetrating power, clearly resonating throughout every corner of the tower's base.
The Flame Spider Clan cultivators, who had initially hoped to force their way through, were now completely frozen in place.
Silence fell over the base of the tower, broken only by heavy breathing and the suppressed groans of the wounded.
At this moment, neither advancing nor retreating is an option.
Rushing in would be suicide, but not rushing in... the feeling of having one's spiritual energy being frantically drained is equally despairing.
"Ning Ruan, we have no grudge against you, we just want to leave the tower..."
A Golden Core cultivator from the Flame Spider Clan took a deep breath and tried his best to soften his tone:
"If you are willing to remove the formation and let us out, we promise that we will no longer be your enemy."
"Oh?" Ning Ruan's voice carried a hint of amusement. "But it seems that you're at a greater disadvantage by being my enemy, and I don't care."
"..."
The Golden Core cultivator's face turned pale and then red, but he had no choice but to say, "If you let us out, at least it will reduce some trouble."
"Yes, Ning Ruan, it's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester..."
"You should remove the formation first..."
Cries for mercy rose and fell; the Flame Spider Clan cultivators at this moment had completely lost their previous arrogance.
The figure hidden in the gray mist at the top of the tower listened to the conversation below, his face so gloomy it was almost dripping with water.
"A bunch of cowardly good-for-nothings!" he muttered through gritted teeth.
But there is nothing to do.
If Ning Ruan really does remove the formation, he will have no choice but to release this group of useless people.
It wasn't that he had much affection for the Flame Spider Clan.
At a time like this, it would be unacceptable if the overall situation of the clan were affected by Ning Ruan alone.
below.
Ningruan did not withdraw its troops.
She remained calmly seated within the Crimson Lotus Space, munching on a spiritual fruit, and replied languidly, "I'm not leaving. It's not like I'm the one who dragged you all in here."
"Even if you die, it's not my fault."
"I was not the one who brought you in, nor was I the one who absorbed your spiritual energy."
Ning Ruan said seriously, "Your spiritual power was extracted from this tower. I just intercepted it halfway, so it has nothing to do with me."
Don't try to morally blackmail her.
She has no morals.
Flame Spider Clan cultivator: "..."
Ning Ruan not only did not withdraw from the formation, but also completely unleashed the Red Lotus Immortal Artifact to absorb spiritual energy.
As more and more spiritual energy gathered at the bottom of the tower towards Ning Ruan, the figure in the gray mist finally realized that something was wrong.
Originally, Ning Ruan's immortal artifact was only absorbing the spiritual energy extracted from the cultivators below.
Although he found it hard to believe, it wouldn't fundamentally damage his reputation.
But it’s different now!
He could clearly sense that Ning Ruan's immortal artifact, which had never been seen before, was already beginning to absorb the spiritual power of the Spirit Suppressing Tower itself!
How could he not panic?
"Ning Ruan! Stop!"
“I’m not going to stop, what can you do about it?” Ning Ruan chuckled. “Come down here if you dare.”
"!!!"
The figure in the gray haze really wanted to rush down.
But he didn't dare!
Not to mention the formation below that could suppress cultivation, he had to be cautious because of the scroll in Ning Ruan's hand that could take his life in an instant.
If it weren't for the Spirit Suppression Tower's early warning capabilities, and if he had entered the tower in time the moment he sensed the threat to his life, he might have ended up like Wang Xuan.
