Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 162: Counterattack

Everyone held their breath.

Steward Sun's fist, hidden beneath his sleeve, unconsciously clenched!

Now!

Almost there!

One breath!

Light flowed smoothly, the formation stable.

Two breaths!

The wind-attributed spiritual energy began to grow more lively, the hum from the formation plate rising higher and higher!

Three breaths!

Just as everyone anticipated the formation's full power activating, that sharp, swift aura of the escape technique about to burst forth—A sudden, drastic change!

The flowing spiritual light on the formation plate gave a violent shudder!

The sensation was like a person sprinting at full speed, only to have all their strength instantly drained away.

The originally brilliant radiance, like a punctured balloon, rapidly dimmed.

The high-pitched hum transformed into a resentful whimper, then abruptly ceased.

The entire formation plate, like a chicken with its neck wrung, went completely dark, utterly still and silent.

Silence.

A deathly stillness.

No explosion.

No shockwave.

Not even a single wisp of spiritual energy leakage.

It just... gently, peacefully, fizzled out.

This unexpected outcome left everyone stunned.

The vicious sneer on Steward Sun's face froze at the corner of his mouth.

His mind went blank. The prepared, sorrowful eulogy he had ready was stuck in his throat, impossible to utter.

This gentle failure snapped the nerve he had strained to its absolute limit, and the words burst out!
