I Just Want To Slack off In Cultivation

Chapter 42: Fall Out

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Chen Huan was at the sixth-stage Qi Refinement realm. The Man-Faced Spider was not yet mature, but it was no fool and could reach the Foundation Establishment realm. It would be easy for him to catch up with the slow Xiao Tasha then.

This was no different from sending her to her death on behalf of Huang and Zhang.

Hearing this, Huang Xian and Zhang Zhongain’s eyes flashed, but they did not say anything.

Chen Huan sighed and said, “Don’t worry, Junior Sister Xiao. How could I not care about you? Look, there’s another Breath-Restraining Talisman here. This is the last one. You’re an array cultivator, so you can use the array formation to accelerate your escape. After that, use this talisman to hide yourself.

How about that?”

“The last card?” Xiao Tasha was angry and anxious at first, but when she heard this, she felt a little embarrassed. She hesitated for a while but did not take it. Instead, she said softly, “Then… Then you take it, Senior Brother Chen. I’m an array cultivator after all. I might have other ways to escape.”

Chen Huan stuffed the talisman into her hand without hesitation and said to Huang Xian and Zhang Zhonggin, “There’s no time to lose! The Man-Faced Spider will probably catch up with us soon. Go to the sub-formation quickly.”

Huang Xian and Zhang Zhongqin looked at each other. Both of them had exhausted their blood essence and were on the verge of death. They really did not have a better solution. They cupped their fists and said, “Yes!”

They hurried to the sub-formation. Chen Huan looked at them intently for a while. After confirming that his two junior brothers had left, he suddenly turned around and instructed Xiao Tasha, who was still worried. “When they enter the sub-formation, activate the array immediately and refine them into

the Soul Summoning Banner.”

“… Huh?” Xiao Tasha was too stunned to respond at first. She rubbed the corner of her shirt and looked at him blankly.

“The sub-formation couldn’t even trap Pei Ling, so how could it trap the Man-Faced Spider?” Chen Huan suppressed his anxiety and advised gently, “I said those words just now to stabilize them. After all, they clearly knew that we are no match for the Man-Faced Spider, but they still implicated us.

Obviously, they have ill intentions. If we’re honest, we won’t be able to escape with them. Instead of being wiped out, it’s better to cut our losses… But if I say that, they might not fight alongside us to the death.

And they’re not innocent.

Don’t forget, Mei’er went with them just now. Since only the two of them are back now, Mei’er might have been harmed by them to stall the Man-Faced Spider.

It’s fine if I’m alone. At most, we can escape together. I’m at the sixth-stage Qi Refinement realm. No matter what, I can run faster than them.

But what about you, Junior Sister Xiao? You’re at the fifth-stage Qi Refinement realm like them. They don’t have the confidence to run back to Spiraling Mountain City before the Man-Faced Spider catches up with them. How are you going to escape the threat, Junior Sister Xiao?

Do you want me to abandon you?

But if I bring you along, both of us might not be able to escape!”

Ahint of ruthlessness flashed between his brows. “For now, we can only sacrifice two junior brothers by refining the Soul Summoning Banner in advance. Only then will we have a chance of survival.”

At first, Xiao Tasha was very shocked. After all, in her heart, although Chen Huan is cunning and ruthless with outsiders, he has always been sincere to his own people. She did not expect that her senior brother, who had been blaming her for Huang Xian and Zhang Zhonggin, would turn around and refine

these two junior brothers into the Soul Summoning Banner.

However, from what Chen Huan said, he was actually thinking about her. Xiao Tasha had always been devoted to him. At this moment, even though she knew that the situation was dire, she could not help feeling sweet inside.

She thought about how Huang Xian and Zhang Zhonggin usually treated her coldly. Just now, they were blaming her for Pei Ling’s escape. Every time this happened, only Chen Huan would come out to help her.

Even if she helped Chen Huan to refine them now, it seemed justifiable.

With that thought in mind, Xiao Tasha nodded and said, “Alright! But Senior Brother Chen, the two of them are badly injured now. The timing is not right. I’m afraid the effect might not be as good as it was on Pei Ling.”

“We have to do things quickly. We can’t care so much,” Chen Huan urged. “The Man-Faced Spider might catch up at any moment. Junior Sister, please do it as soon as possible! Otherwise, if the two junior brothers sense something, there might be trouble.”

Xiao Tasha did not hesitate anymore. She hurried into the Mother Array, took out the array disc, and made hand gestures as she performed an incantation. The array patterns that were originally suffused with a faint bloody glow gradually lit up. The entire ground became warped like a living thing, and

then a pulse was slowly but firmly transmitted.

In the canyon below, the sub-formation received the summon of the Mother Array, and the trees seemed to shatter with a loud crash.

In their place were countless blood-colored tentacles that headed towards Huang Xian and Zhang Zhonggin, who were recovering from their panic.

This?! The two of them sensed the commotion at first and thought that the Man-Faced Spider had caught up with them. They jumped up hastily, but they did not see that strange face. Instead they were shocked to see countless tentacles. “This is the sub-formation’s effect of extracting souls and refining

blood… The Man-Faced Spider has yet to enter the formation, so why is it activated?!”

“Chen Huan, you bastard!!!” The two of them were only slightly stunned before they understood what was going on. They could not help but swear. “I’ve worked so hard for you for so long, but you f*cking sold me out?!”

In the Mother Array, Chen Huan turned a deaf ear to the curses coming from the canyon. He asked Xiao Tasha, “How much longer?”

“Soon!” Xiao Tasha was anxious too. After all, the Man-Faced Spider could appear at any time. She had yet to recover her spiritual power, so she could only swallow a pill and activate the array. She said, “Senior Brother, wait a moment. It won’t take more than 10 minutes.”

Chen Huan’s gaze flashed as he said, “Alright… Oh right, Junior Sister, can this Mother Array trap the Man-Faced Spider? I think the placement of the Mother Array is much more troublesome than the Child Array. If possible, perhaps we can use it to scheme against that bastard?”

“No, Senior Brother.” Xiao Tasha activated the array formation with all her might and did not have time to think too much. She said casually, “With this Soul Devouring Mother Array, the sub-formation specializes in trapping and killing. As for the Mother Array, it can only be used to refine talisman

artifacts. Using it to scheme against Foundation Establishment Stage demon beasts like the Man-Faced Spider won’t work, let alone trapping intelligent ones. After all, they can get in and out ata glance.”

As she spoke, the patterns on the Mother Array trembled. Immediately, two beams of blood light that were wrapped around the souls were forcefully drawn from the sub-formation and flowed into the Soul Summoning Banner through the formation patterns.

The Soul Summoning Banner moved without any wind. Blood seemed to surge onto the surface of the banner. Looking at the souls that had cursed him previously, Chen Huan was delighted. “Huang Xian, Zhang Zhongqin? Hahaha, to think that you would have such a day!

Good, good, good. Back then, I didn’t know how to read people. Seeing you two fight each other today, I can finally rest in peace.”

“Huang Xian, you bastard! I’l kill you!”

“A dog that bites doesn’t bark. Zhang Zhonggin, you’ve been a traitor in vain. Now, you will become my accomplice ghost.”

As their souls were caught up in a scuffle, Xiao Tasha’s cousin stood by and sneered. She looked at Xiao Tasha viciously and said coldly, “Bitch! I’ll wait for you to enter the banner too.. Then I’ll tear you to pieces with my own hands!”
