Chapter 425: Failed to Achieve Combat Results
Downing was right about one thing before. All the formations in the world are constructed in a fixed position at each point that forms the formation. If you move or change any one of these points, the other points must follow suit. That is, to move the whole body.
This is especially true of formations in the East. Buddhas, demons, and evil witches, no matter what faction they belong to, the various formations they inherit are all in line with a certain natural law between heaven and earth. Only when a specific law is formed can the formation run according to the trajectory of heaven and earth, so as to emit various powers with different effects.
He wasn't wrong, but it was only based on what he understood to know. In other words, a judgment or speculation made on the basis of the theory of the Eastern Formation. One thing he overlooked was that he did not understand how Western formations were constituted. Eastern and Western cultures are different, the way of thinking is different, and the understanding, application, extension, expansion and interpretation of things are also different. Although he also follows the way of heaven, he also uses secret methods to extract the energy between heaven and earth for his own use. However, among all the formations of Western systems, although they are also the main ones, they are not the most important. The most important thing is not the specific location, but the runes required for the formation.
The one hundred and eighty cornerstones engraved with the Punishment Prayer that the black-robed priest laboriously had to arrange were all around the Jade Emperor Peak. Make that the top of the cross. Within 1,500 meters, strictly speaking, as long as a complete cross can be formed around the top of the Jade Emperor Peak, and the punishment prayer required for the cornerstone is fully depicted, then it is not a question whether the cross is crooked, oblique, upside down, or horizontal. Of course. In order to maximize the power of the formation, it is best to repair the destroyed cornerstone near its original location, and the longitudinal distance between the newly selected cornerstone and the old foundation stone should not exceed ten meters wide. This is the range of adjustments allowed for the formation to exert its maximum power.
With the aim of maximizing the power of the formation, Pastor Cillin followed his memories in the darkness to the vicinity of one of the destroyed cornerstones. Not far away, a boulder was found that could have completed the entire Prayer of Punishment. The stone was not erected, but was planted diagonally in the ground, and most of it was buried deep in the ground.
Without daring to waste any more time, he quickly took out the sharp cross-shaped metal utensils from his arms and began to carve them on the surface of the stone. Gravel dust brush brush falls. In the darkness came the sound of sharp objects rubbing against stones. Concealed by a black hood, Pastor Cillin had a dignified face, a focused and reverent expression. As a veteran priest who had spent most of his life in the Holy See, his religious beliefs were insane. Believe that there is a God in this world, and that the God you believe in is the only true God in this world. For God, for the Holy See, to increase faithful believers is a cause of light.
In the darkness, three dark shadows crept closer. He stopped seven or eight meters away from him, leaned down, and hid behind a stone beam that jutted out nearly a meter above the ground. One of the dark shadows waved his hand at his companion, shhh ”
"Well, I see, what should I do?
In this way, Jiang Tao will touch him from behind and get as close to him as possible. The two of us made a detour from both sides, using the crickets as a signal to attack at the same time. Remember, although the three of us are going to do it at the same time, the focus of the attack is on Jiang Tao and you. You practiced eighth-level boxing, and you also practiced boxing. In the case of a sneak attack, it will be difficult for an ordinary cultivator to withstand a punch from all your strength. If your punch works, the opponent will lose the ability to fight back at the first time, so we will save a lot of trouble. In case the other party resisted Jiang Tao's sneak attack, Zhou Yu pounced at the same time, using Xingyi Fist to entangle him with the characteristics of fast fighting, and did not require your attack to work, as long as it could make him scramble. As long as I can fight for a second or two, I'm sure I'll take him down with a single blow. How's that, do you get it?"
"yes, I understand!"
“…… Wait, yes, yes, but I have a question. ”
"Tell me about it. ”
"That's right, the cricket is called...... How should it be called?"
"What, you don't have crickets in the United States?"
"I really haven't found it, even if there is, it's a foreign cricket, and I don't seem to have heard the sound of our Chinese cricket. ”
"Idiots, it's the kind of little bug that keeps you awake at night. Let's go!"
"Hehe, isn't this to liven up the tension...... I don't know how to be humorous......"
Three dark shadows approached him from three directions, centering on Pastor Xilin, who was unaware of this qiē. The people who came were cautious, and there was not the slightest breath leaking out. This is a sneak attack, not a head-to-head duel, and it does not pay attention to gathering momentum and suppressing people. Being able to defeat the enemy with a silent blow is the royal way of sneak attack.
Facing the figure behind him, standing three meters away from him, his back gradually arched, sitting on his hips, with the two legs separated from the front and back, his feet slowly moved, separated, and stood still, and his toes were slightly crushed on the ground, stepping on the ground. Leaning forward, his gaze locked on the target in front of him, he slowly clenched his fists. Invisible air currents swirl around the surface of the fist. The whole person is like a leopard with sharp fangs, ready to hunt and kill its prey.
Three meters away from the target, which is just the most suitable distance for sprinting and attacking. Far away, the power will not achieve the desired effect, and close, more than the power will be unloaded. Only those who have rich experience in fighting and have experienced life and death battles know how to use this three-meter distance and can make good use of this three-meter distance.
Two rapid cricket cries sounded, and the black shadow behind Pastor Xilin shook his whole body, his eyes flashed with sharp light, and his hind legs slammed on the ground, clicking, and at the same time as the stone under his feet burst into cracks, his body jumped up, as fast as a bow and arrow. The punch tore through the air around it, emitting a low howl, a natural reaction caused by the surface of the fist rubbing against the air at the extreme speed of the punch. The invisible air flow formed a sharp arrow in the shape of a wedge at a distance of about two or three inches on the surface of the fist, and the rapid wind slid through both sides of the arrow, and all the power of the black shadow was concentrated on the fist that was struck, and it slammed into the waistcoat of Pastor Sirin. Bend the elbow of the other fist at the third rib below the ribs, and if the first punch doesn't work, the second punch makes up for it.
Pastor Schilling did not dare to be careless, and he himself was responsible for the restoration of the five foundation stones. And it has to be done by midnight tonight. The task is not without weight. I also have to worry that if I fail to complete the task of carving the foundation stone of the prayer in the area in charge and delay the timely activation of the sacred codex, I will become a sinner and will be severely punished by divine punishment.
Thinking of the horror of God's punishment, he didn't dare to be distracted. So much so that he lost his original vigilance against the surrounding situation. It wasn't until the moment when the strong wind reached the body that he suddenly became alert. Shouted: "Who ......?"
Bang! The vest was like a heavy hammer, and the huge and heavy impact enveloped the surging furious force, and even took his whole person, smashing a small part of the foundation stone in front of him. Through the debris and smoke and dust that fell into the four directions, Pastor Xilin, who was knocked out, fell three or four meters away. Pastor Cillin, who only knew that he had been attacked, but still did not understand the situation, struggled to get up, and then rained blows all over his body. I don't know how many punches I was hit, and I don't know how many kicks I was hit, I just knew that the strength of my body was getting heavier and stronger, and there were shadows of fists and feet everywhere in front of me.
Just as a sharp wind slammed into the back of his neck, Pastor Cillin let out a roar, and the black cloak on his body puffed up like a blow, shaking out all the forces around him. I heard several surprises in the darkness at the same time.
Then, there is the sound of someone landing on the ground. Taking advantage of this fleeting effort, Pastor Xilin slid out seven or eight meters away, and the black hood was knocked off, revealing a slightly old face with gray hair, a narrow forehead, high cheekbones, thin cheeks, and a slightly old face. The grizzled wolf stood up. Standing there panting, I breathed a sigh of relief.
Three people surrounded him, cutting off all retreats. Gong Li gathered his eyes, and only then did he see clearly that the three Chinese young people who had just launched the attack were actually three.
He was stunned, and when he found that the cornerstone of the prayer that had been carved for a long time had been destroyed again, he let out a hoarse roar of sorrow, hatred soared to the sky, and murderous intent was everywhere. The eye sockets were deeply sunken, and the pair of gloomy eyes radiated a vicious and angry light.
"Who are you? Do you know what you've done? You damned sinners of God!"
The three Chinese teenagers ignored his angry roar, just stared at him in disbelief and horror, their eyes constantly glancing at him. After a while, one of the young men said uncertainly, "There is something wrong with the clothes he has on him." I can assure you, there must be a problem!"
"Why?"
"No one can be attacked by the three of us at the same time and still stand like a person, you look at this old fellow, except for the hair that is messed up all over his body, his head and face, and his skin is not even a little bloodshot. ”
"Well, I don't think it's quite right. I must have hit him with that punch at the beginning. With the inherent power of the fist, the strength penetrates into the body, and the hearts of ordinary people have already been shattered into minced meat. Even if he is a cultivator and his cultivation is higher than mine, but in that case, if he takes a punch from me with all his strength, he shouldn't have no internal injuries at all? At the very least, he should vomit some blood, right? This, this is a bit too shocking!"
Zhou Yu was right. If your punch is solid. And the old guy doesn't seem to have anything wrong with it, it must be something wrong with his clothes, the strength of your punch has been diverted, and the stone just now was not broken by him, but by you. You say, could it be the cloak he was wearing? Think about it, the strange force that suddenly erupted just now and shook the three of us out?"
"Just ask. You two wait, I'll ask him. ”
