Chapter 144: A Fight Turns Into a Death Fight
Ling Zheng's formation this time, compared to his previous speed, which seemed to be a little terrifying to other formation mages, was really as slow as a snail.
"Xiaoyou seems to have a master to teach. The eyes of the old man who was concentrating on watching Ling Zheng's formation on the side lit up, and said with a smile: "If there is no master to teach, it is absolutely impossible to master the formation at this age, this kind of cultivation." ”
Ling Zheng just smiled and didn't say anything.
The old man said earlier that the two of them were going to use the phantom array to fight the array, and Ling Zheng still had a certain grasp of the phantom array. Don't look at Ling Zheng's path to the formation path for less than a year, but because of his outstanding qualifications, coupled with the fact that he has studied without sleep or food, and has the complete version of "Gao Yuan Array Solution", which is quite rare in the minds of the formation mage, his understanding of the battle path is very fast.
The formation is divided into killing arrays, phantom arrays, trapped arrays, teleportation, auxiliary, weakening, etc., the phantom array is the most common one, which is generally used to guard the plant and wait for the rabbit, or to protect the courtyard of the town, as a trap and so on. Although its defensive effect is not as good as that of the Phantom Array, and although the threat to the enemy is not as good as the Killing Array, if it is extremely accomplished in this way, it can also trap people and kill people.
Like the formation arranged by Ling Zheng now, it is an illusion array called "Dazzle Array" in "Gao Yuan Array Solution", which was created by Gao Yuan, the long-dead formation mage, when he was still a second-level formation mage, according to the explanation on "Gao Yuan Array Solution", this dizzy array was born from a big force's mountain protection array, but the specific formation from which big force was born, because there is no record in "Gao Yuan Array Solution", Ling Zheng is unknown.
Although it is not clear about its complete origin, according to Gao Yuan's self-assessment that this dazzling array is his greatest achievement before entering the third-level formation mage realm, it can be seen how much Gao Yuan admires this dazzling array.
This is also the reason why Ling Zheng now has the confidence to arrange it and fight with this old man.
Unexpectedly, Ling Zheng, who had arranged this dazzling array for the first time, had successfully arranged it without the assistance of the array magic weapon. After Ling Zheng let out a soft snort, the dense white formations coiled around Ling Zheng instantly merged into the void, and then, there was a looming strange aura in the room of this shop. It was an aura that only a sharp-minded array mage could feel.
The old man, who had been quietly watching Ling Zheng's formation, immediately had a look of surprise in his eyes.
In his opinion, Ling Zheng's death is also the level of a second-level formation mage, and according to the convention, when a second-level formation mage arranges a second-level formation, even if he is engrossed and careful, his success rate is only about fifty or sixty percent. He could see that the dazzling array that Ling Zheng had arranged was definitely a formation that could be at the peak level of the second level, and Ling Zheng was able to arrange it only once, and he didn't have the assistance of a formation magic weapon, this qualification was a bit scary.
Of course, if he knew that Ling Zheng still had his hands left now, he would definitely be even more surprised that he could definitely arrange three dazzling arrays during this time with his true speed.
Ling Zheng made a very tired look, stretched out his hand to wipe his sweat, and then smiled at the old man: "Senior, this formation may seem a little difficult in your opinion, but this is the highest level of the phantom array I can arrange, I smiled." ”
The old man's face was a little more solemn, but he still smiled: "Xiaoyou is really modest, with your ability, in the ranks of second-level array mages, you are definitely worthy of the four words of one of the best." ”
"Look at your phantom array, after the layout is successful, if you are a layman, it will be difficult to find it at all. The old man said: "Just this skill is enough to make those second-level formation mages who think highly of themselves embarrassed." ”
Ling Zheng could hear the appreciation in the old man's words, smiled and stretched out his hand, and made a "please" gesture. The old man did not procrastinate any longer, and took a few steps forward.
After that, the old man's figure disappeared silently in the center of the room.
Seeing that the old man had already entered the formation, Ling Zheng hurriedly took out a Yellow Dragon Pill from the ring and took it. The dazzling array had just been arranged, and almost half of his true yuan had been consumed, and he had to do his best to restore it.
Although the Dazzle Array is a phantom array that can rank at the top level in the second-level formation, for the old man who fights with Ling Zheng, no matter how exquisite the second-level formation is, in the final analysis, it is still a second-level formation. With his attainments in the formation path, although Ling Zheng's dazzling array could surprise him, it didn't mean that it could give him a headache.
In less than a cup of tea, Ling Zheng felt the space around him shake violently, and after that, the formation patterns that had previously merged into the void flew out on their own and disintegrated.
Ling Zheng was not surprised to see that his formation had been broken, with this old man's ability, if he was really restrained by his own dizzy formation, it would be a strange thing.
After the old man broke Ling Zheng's dizziness array, it was as if he had just eaten a delicious meal, and his face appeared with real joy. He smiled and said: "What a wonderful formation, it should be written by a person, Xiaoyou, it seems that your origin is really not ordinary." ”
Ling Zheng just shook his head and smiled.
After that, the old man who occupied the back hand also began to set up the formation, and the speed at which he set up the formation was also very slow, Ling Zheng carefully observed every movement of his formation, as well as every pattern of the formation he carved, and kept it firmly in his mind.
After another cup of tea, the old man's formation was successfully arranged, and judging from the breath released by the formation, it should also be a second-level formation.
"This is a phantom array that I created in my early years, since Xiaoyou uses a second-level phantom array to fight the formation, it is not good for me to rely on the formation path cultivation to suppress you, so it can be fairer. The old man smiled: "Anyway, Xiaoyou really opened my eyes today, no matter whether you can successfully break the formation or not, I will sell you that spear-shaped formation magic weapon." ”
After seeing Ling Zheng's expression nodding as usual, the old man also stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture, saying, "Please join the battle." ”
Ling Zheng stepped forward, and after turning his back to the old man, his eyes instantly became as if he had no pupils, and the Broken Eye had already opened.
And the old man also reached out and pinched a strange seal at the moment when Ling Zheng turned his back to him.
As soon as the light flashed, Ling Zheng entered the formation arranged by the old man. I just felt that it was instantly pitch black in front of me, and there was nothing but myself. Even walking on foot felt like a void, with nothing to rely on and elusive under your feet and overhead.
Staying in this pitch-black environment for a long time, anyone will lose their grasp of time and space, and Ling Zheng has a deeper understanding of the old man's formation attainments in his heart.
Although it is a second-level formation, it is one effect to be arranged by a second-level formation mage, and it will be another effect when it is arranged by a higher-level formation mage. The phantom array that the old man had arranged might not be as good as the dazzling array created by Gao Yuan in terms of subtlety, but it was definitely much more difficult than the dazzling array that Ling Zheng had previously arranged.
But fortunately, it was a second-level formation, and things were still within Ling Zheng's control.
After he entered the formation, he did not start to move, but immediately began to observe the surroundings with the eye of delusion, according to the flow of the aura of this formation, looking for the location of the formation eye.
If you find the eye of the formation and break it, you will be successful, otherwise, you can only wait for the old man to lift the formation and let him out, and the battle will be lost.
The benefits of the Broken Eye against the mage were self-evident, and after carefully observing the time of nearly a cup of tea, Ling Zhengzai finally caught an unusual breath in the endless darkness in front of him.
He hurriedly unleashed his spiritual sense, catching the unusual breath and observing its circulation. Soon, Ling Zheng found the location of the eye of the formation.
But Ling Zheng, who had found the eye of the formation, did not immediately break the formation with the True Yuan, but stood quietly in the endless darkness, as if waiting for something.
At this moment, the old man standing outside the formation had no smile on his face at all, and instead there was a kind of fanaticism with cold killing intent.
"It turned out to be Gao Yuan's dazzle array. The old man's voice said calmly: "It seems that this kid has a part of the "Gao Yuan Array Solution" on his body, and he is really lucky today, and he has picked up a treasure not long after 'opening'." ”
As he spoke, the seal that he had been holding in his hand suddenly changed, and as his finger seal changed, the space that Ling Zheng walked into suddenly flickered with cold light, releasing an incomparably cold killing intent.
Ling Zheng, who was in the formation, instantly felt that killing intent. Immediately afterward, Ling Zheng found that in the endless darkness that filled his vision, a series of cold lights like swords and swords suddenly appeared, aimed at Ling Zheng's Heavenly Spirit Gai, and shot down in unison.
The phantom array has changed into a killing array!
This battle array has also changed from a live fight to a death match as agreed before.
Seeing this scene, Ling Zheng did not have any surprise in his heart.
As early as when he entered the inner room of the old man's shop, Ling Zheng used his nose, which was more intelligent than a dog, to smell a smell of blood that was well disguised, but still existed.
And through Guò's long-term experience, Ling Zheng's nose could also smell whether the smell of blood was left by human blood or animal blood.
What he smelled, of course, was the former.
Not only that, when Ling Zheng was arranging the formation of the old man, through Guò's observation of his technique, and then comparing it with the content of the research on the formation technique in "Gao Yuan Array Solution", it has been seen that the old man is arranging the phantom array at the same time, and he also hides a killing array inside.
Formation fusion is a skill that can only be mastered by a formation mage who has cultivated above the third level, although Ling Zheng can't do it, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know.
Now, this old man has finally revealed his true colors, and he wants to use the killing array hidden in the phantom array to completely leave Ling Zheng here.
Recalling the array artifacts that Ling Zheng had seen outside the shop before, as well as the various array stones that were obviously different in style and came from the hands of many people, Ling Zheng guessed that this old man was probably doing this kind of thing. The array magic weapon that was placed outside was most likely the spoils he got from killing other formation mages.
Ling Zheng can actually choose not to wade into this troubled water, and get out of the game when the old man lets him enter the game, with his current strength, he can do this.
But whether it is Ning Qianhe, or Ning Chongxiao, an old bastard who Ling Zheng doesn't know his identity, they have all told Ling Zheng that steady and steady play is indeed an iron rule that must be followed in the cultivation process, but if you want to really improve your strength quickly and push yourself to the point of life and death, people's potential will be stimulated to the maximum.
Now, Ling Zheng's attainments in the formation are enough to rival the second-level top array mages, although according to convention, if Ling Zheng does not step into the Jindan realm, he will not be able to touch the threshold of the third-level array mages at all. But Ling Zheng is a person who has been breaking conventions all the way, whether it is Ning Qianhe or Ning Chongxiao, they have all said with great certainty that he can be what ordinary people cannot.
Therefore, he wants to take advantage of this opportunity to force himself, even if it seems that nothing is achieved in the end, he can find something from that nothing.
The killing array hidden in the phantom array was urged by the old man, and the sword and sword light shot out in unison, wanting to crush Ling Zheng's head in the illusion. Ling Zheng relied on his best to dodge by stealing the master from the old bastard Ning Chongxiao, although his clothes were torn a lot under the flash, but for a while, there was still no danger to his life.
The old man who was manipulating the formation outside the formation naturally noticed this, and the corners of his mouth raised, and then the seal of his right hand changed again.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the murderous aura released by the killing array trapped by the phantom array was like a storm, and it let out bursts of terrifying roars. And Ling Zheng, who was in the formation, instantly felt an indescribable pressure.
"It's ...... Level 3 Formation!"
Ling Zheng dodged a blazing white sharp sword ray, and looked at the lock of black hair slowly floating down in front of him, his brows instantly furrowed.
