In the formation, Shi Tianjing, Wu Gang, and others were running in the direction of Ye Liuyun, but they wouldn't be able to get there even when it was such a short distance.
But they didn't dare to stop because the black-robed man had already come out of the cave!
At this moment, Ye Liuyun had already taken out his bow and arrow and shot towards the black-robed man. However, the black-robed man actually didn't even try to dodge. When the arrow reached him, it automatically fell without hitting him.
The black-robed man looked at Ye Liuyun and said, "I'll remember you! If it weren't for your warning, all of you would have been eaten by the lord! You're the one who delayed the lord's plan!"
"I will give you a chance to surrender to me. I promise not to kill you, and I will train you!"
"In your dreams!" Ye Liuyun put away the bow and arrow, his hands tightly clutching the Gnosis Stone.
He knew that once this person came out, he would not be able to fight against him! Even if all of the Metal guards here rushed at him together, they still could not stop the black-robed man!
He could only make preparations to escape.
Ye Liuyun had also been aware of Shi Tianjing and the others' situation.
With their running speed, they would have gone farther. Still, they were not making any obvious progress. This must be due to the formation.
However, the sound seemed to be uncontrolled in this formation. The attack launched from the outside was also effective.
So he had an idea and shouted to Shi Tianjing and the others, "Come over here step by step, don't run! This is a formation. It's useless no matter how fast you run."
Then he shouted to the guards around him, "Attack those skeletons, but don't enter the formation!"
The black-robed man was shocked!
Immediately, he activated the formation, allowing the corpses that crawled out to attack.
The group of Metal guards all looked towards the Hall guard.
"Do as he says!" That person ordered. He immediately began to attack as well.
Sure enough, the attacks were effective. However, skeletons continuously crawled out from beneath the ground. It was useless to attack.
Within the formation, Shi Tianjing and the others followed the method that Ye Liuyun had told them to do. They walked one step at a time instead of running.
As expected, it was effective. They were indeed walking out. Moreover, the slower they walked, the more effective it was. Those who walked faster fell behind others.
"Keep one foot on the ground." After observing their movements with the skeletons for a while, Ye Liuyun summed up.
However, they were still in a very bad situation. There were continuous attacks from skeletons around them. Although these skeletons were not in a high realm, there were a lot of them! After they smashed one, another would pounce out.
Moreover, these skeletons did not feel any pain. If they were not completely scattered, their attacks would not stop.
After the black-robed man went out of the cave, he did not move. Instead, he stood where he was and controlled the formation.
The Hall guards who entered also encountered the same problem as Shi Tianjing and the others. After receiving Ye Liuyun's instructions, they were gradually approaching Shi Tianjing and the others.
Ye Liuyun's Phantom Eyes had been searching for flaws in the formation. However, he had never studied formations, so he did not know much about it.
But he knew that the eye of the formation must be in the formation, though it was impossible for him to take risks now.
Therefore, he told the Metal guards about an eye of the formation that he had discovered and asked them to attack it head-on to see if it could be broken.
Soon, another two Hall guards arrived. This time, Ye Liuyun recognized them. They were Qi Xiong and Lu Wei.
At this time, the Hall guard who had entered had already met up with Shi Tianjing and the others and was walking out.
Ye Liuyun told them to run over to the eye of the formation.
At the same time, the other Metal Guards also gathered to attack the eye of the formation or bombard those skeletons in the air to relieve the pressure on Shi Tianjing and the others.
The black-robed man secretly gnashed his teeth in hatred at Ye Liuyun. He had no choice but to mobilize the power of the formation to replenish the loss of the eye of the formation.
However, he pretended to laugh as if nothing had happened and said, "Not to mention that you can't break this formation at all. Even if you break it, can you escape from me?"
His words made everyone feel a chill in their hearts. "That's right! Even if it's broken, they are still no match for the black-robed man."
Immediately, some people stopped attacking.
Ye Liuyun laughed upon seeing this.
"I bet you don't dare to come out! If you could leave the cave, you would have come out long ago!"
Ye Liuyun had noticed that although the black-robed man was strong, he did not come out to kill them directly. Instead, he stood there without moving and even activated the formation. He must have some misgivings.
Shi Tianjing came to senses at this time, hurriedly saying, "There is a skeleton in the cave that is absorbing blood. The black-robed man captured many living people to help the skeleton come back to life!"
Hearing this, Ye Liuyun was even more certain of his own guess. "If my guess is correct, that skeleton is still very weak. If you leave, you're afraid that he will be attacked, or that the process of his resurrection will be interrupted, thus losing the hope of rebirth, right?"
The black-robed man no longer spoke. If one's gaze could kill, the black-robed man would have killed Ye Liuyun many times already!
Ye Liuyun continued, "Everyone should walk in a scattered manner after the formation is broken. If the black-robed man dares to chase after us, the others will charge into the hole and destroy the skeleton."
The group of Metal guards couldn't help but sweat when they heard Ye Liuyun's words.
None of them thought as thoroughly as Ye Liuyun. With Ye Liuyun's method, they were certain that the black-robed man would not pursue them.
And this method was also a way to deal with the black-robed man in the future.
Lu Wei also cast a look of approval at Ye Liuyun, and then continued to attack the eye of the formation with the others.
Soon, Shi Tianjing and his party arrived at the edge of the formation. However, no matter how hard they tried, they could not take the final step.
"Hahaha! It's useless. You can't break the eye of the formation. As time goes by, they will die of exhaustion inside." The black-robed man laughed happily when he saw them baffled.
"Is that so?" Ye Liuyun's teasing voice rang out.
Ye Liuyun took out a few pills from his Interspatial Ring and said to the people inside, "Get ready. When the formation cracks, come out immediately. Don't waste any time. There's only a chance in that instant."
When the people inside heard this, they all nodded cautiously and were ready to rush out.
"Well? What are you going to do? Do you want to break the formation with just a few pills?" The black-robed man asked curiously. He couldn't figure out what the break of the formation had to do with the pills.
Ye Liuyun ignored him and placed the pill at the eye of the formation.
This was also the method he suddenly thought of.
The Thunder Spirit grass that he had obtained earlier was refined into a Thunder Explosion Pill when he was free. However, he had never used this pill himself.
This formation was an infernal corpse formation. The thunder and lightning property should be able to restrain the formation.
Although it could not destroy the whole formation, it was possible to make a small crack in an instant.
Then, he used the Rolling Thunder Fist. With a sizzling sound, a bolt of lightning rushed out and hit the medical pill at the eye of the formation.
"Boom!"
Under the pull of the power of thunder and lightning in the Rolling Thunder Fist, the Thunder Explosion Pill exploded instantly, directly blasting a gap in the formation around the eye of the formation. Immediately, five people rushed out of the formation.
He'd succeeded! Ye Liuyun was pleasantly surprised.
But the time was too short, which was only enough for five people to run out.
