Chapter 163: Battle of Formations
The sword dances and flies in the sky, and the blood is red everywhere. The real sword in Vanity Fair, the demonic spirit is busy with desire. The blades on both sides of the cold iron, how can you not hurt others and yourself?
After a fierce battle, less than half of the more than 1,000 human martial artists who had originally entered the Sword Formation were now left. Most of the people who were holding the swords in the array, due to the demonic call, all ascended to the second level of the sword platform to compete for the more powerful sword there.
There was only a small group of hundreds of people, still gathered on the first layer of the sword platform, fighting together against those flying swords that kept coming, holding back the fear in their hearts, and insisting on not touching those seemingly tempting sword blades.
In the center of the crowd, three people sat opposite each other, as if something was going on in an orderly manner.
Seeing that the young man began to build the talisman array, Gu Kong and Qi Feihua hurriedly held their breath and watched. The part of outlining the runes was all done, and now all they could do was pray that this young man could really get this fifth-level phantom array out as he said!
Poof, poof......
Countless thin lines that spread out from the shimmer grew with the rhythm of his heartbeat, gradually connecting the tens of thousands of Yuan Qi runes suspended beside the boy with his body and mind. This connection seems extremely complex and difficult to describe.
As the rune array slowly took shape, those rays of light shuttled between the different runes like a labyrinth, and wave after wave of agitation shook the hearts of everyone nearby. Beads of sweat began to overflow on the young man's forehead, clenching his teeth, and guiding the five-colored karmic fire along the path of light to the various rune centers with his mind.
To outsiders, this process took less than a quarter of an hour, but from a teenager's point of view, it took three full days to complete. Meantime. He must control the size and direction of the karmic fire at all times, and be meticulous enough to allow the slightest deviation.
Although the runes seemed to him to be static, the task still required a lot of energy and physical strength. If it weren't for the high-intensity special training for karmic fire control when he was in the Imperial Palace, he would have collapsed to the ground from exhaustion!
Over time, the last rune was infused with five rounds of karmic fire.
"Formation!"
The young man shouted, the handprint rotated, and the tens of thousands of runes were ignited at the same time, emitting a five-colored light. It was as if countless stars were burning, surrounding the boy, forming a dazzling star cluster.
The people around were taken aback by the sudden sight. I looked at the boy in the star cluster in amazement. The shock in my heart cannot be overstated.
Before, apart from the faint light and the light it emitted, they didn't feel the five karmic fires at all, and they didn't see any movement from the young man, nor did they see any open flames burning. His eyes widened as he stared at the multicolored brilliance. It felt like a miracle.
At this moment, people's hearts are extremely excited. Such a sight made them suddenly get out of their depression and have the courage to fight against their fate!
"It's ...... It's karmic fire, oh my God! It's karmic fire!"
At this time, Qi Feihua of Tianji Pavilion finally recognized the source of the flame. The expression on his face was surprised and delighted, he clasped his hands in front of his chest, resisted the excitement in his heart, and said softly.
Although she had never seen karma fire for many years, she had read relevant records in many ancient books, and in that desirable era, karma fire used to be a compulsory course for the Fu Array Master.
"Karmic fire?"
Gu Kong repeated in surprise, constantly searching his mind for knowledge about this word. However, although he also comes from an ancient family, he has never heard of the word "karmic fire".
"The scene in front of us can only be explained by karmic fire......"
Qi Feihua couldn't describe his mood at the moment. This seemingly ordinary boy not only has an amazing talent for rune attainments, but also has the karmic fire that rune array masters dream of. What else could she say about that?
Now she had no doubt that this young man would be able to arrange this fifth-level rune array, and while she was happy in her heart, she also sighed at the difference between these talents, because this difference could not be made up for with any acquired efforts.
While he was thinking about it, the bright star cluster gradually disappeared, leaving only a little starlight, which quickly gathered towards the center of the boy's eyebrows, forming a blue-green pearl and disappearing. At the same time, the young man's eyes suddenly opened, and everyone felt a little cool.
"Succeeded?" Qi Feihua asked tentatively.
"Probably not enough......"
The boy's face was a little pale, and he didn't answer immediately, but just lowered his head and groaned, as if thinking about something. Suddenly came back to his senses, raised his head and said to Qi Feihua and Gu Kong: "It's successful, but I'm afraid that this fifth-level phantom array can't trap all the demonic beasts, and I still need to make some preparations." ”
As he spoke, the young man didn't say anything more, and immediately entered the state of his heart again. Gu Kong and the others looked at each other, not knowing what else this young man could do at this moment, but looking at his focused appearance, he could only continue to protect the Dharma by the side.
Due to the head-on confrontation with the Demon Beast Shougo and Ji Chang, at the moment when the formation was formed, the young man faintly felt that although this Wind Forest Phantom Array was powerful, it was still insufficient, and he had to make the formation go to the next level!
As for how to achieve this goal, the young man thought of the third-level water maze left to him by Elder Zhang. If the two formations are combined and linked into a new formation, I don't know if they can reach the level of level six.
Although there is no one to guide him now, the teenager who is in a state of deep heart always feels that he can do this.
"Anyway, let's lay out the black water maze first!" the young man read in his heart, turned his hand and took out a stack of more than a thousand rune papers, skillfully attached the karmic fire, and flicked his hands continuously, burning the runes one by one, and integrating them into all directions in the valley.
Seeing the young man's movements, Qi Feihua and Gu Kong's eyes widened, is this to control two formations at the same time? Because it needs to be used for two purposes, this is something that cannot be done at all from the perspective of common sense!
"What the hell is he going to do? Even if he succeeds in setting up a magic circle, he can't activate it at the same time. Not to mention controlling it at the same time!" Gu Kong felt a little incomprehensible to the young man's behavior, no matter how talented he was, he couldn't use the two magic circles on an overlapping basis.
Qi Feihua also shook her head puzzled, but didn't say anything. Unlike Gu Kong, after seeing the karmic fire, she is now full of confidence in the boy, and she only feels that everything can happen to him.
Since she couldn't understand it, Qi Feihua simply turned her gaze outside the circle. Now all their hopes were in this young man, and he had to hold this line of defense before he could complete the rune array.
At this time, more than 100 martial artists around them, through the joint efforts of Tan and Jing, the two second-level rune array masters, finally reluctantly formed a five-element battle array. An invisible protective shield formed around the crowd. Dramatically reduces the pressure on defenses.
However, at the same time that the boy began to construct the second rune array of the earth. Such a big movement here also attracted the attention of the few demonic beasts outside the Sword Array.
"Was that flash of light just now a fluctuation of karmic fire?" asked Yan Wei, who had the head of a snake body, a little uncertain.
"Well, it looks very similar, I didn't expect such a level of rune array master to exist in this group of humans. And judging from the position of those humans on the current floor, it is vaguely a battle formation. Ji Chang said thoughtfully.
"Is it a Fu Array Master?" that seems a bit difficult to do!" said Shougo.
The mental power of the alien beast is weak. In the ancient war, he had suffered a lot from the Fu Array Division. There is this group of humans who know how to form to guard the first floor. Even though they are physically strong. I don't dare to easily enter the battle to grab the sword.
"Hmph, I'm only now realizing if it's a little late, I said earlier that I wouldn't let humans in. Now it's good. I'll see how you deal with it when the scales really appear!" Seeing that Shouwu was like that, Father Ju said angrily beside him.
"Tsk, what's all the fuss about, it's not like I've never seen it, besides, the rune array master who can deal with us has long been dead!" Jiu Feng said coldly with a sharp voice: "As for these people on the first floor...... Hmph, let me see how capable they are!"
With a flick of his fingers, a strong wind shot directly through the sword array and towards the second layer of the sword platform!
Although this strong wind was weakened a lot by the Sword Array, its strength still knocked back more than a dozen steps from several martial artists on the second floor who were fighting with each other. Those warriors holding swords in the formation were suddenly attacked, and they all turned their eyes back, and when they saw the crowd on the first floor, they roared angrily and rushed down with their swords!
Rumble!
Before the person arrived, several sword rainbows had already smashed on the light mask, and the sound of the sonic boom was deafening, startling some people's faces to change color suddenly. Now that most of their weapons have been broken, how can they contend with these sword-wielding warriors?
"Don't panic, everyone, transfer the Yuan Force to a few of us!"
At this time, Lian Can shouted, and led Mu Lei and other people from the Divine Sword Gate to rush out of the crowd and meet those warriors. At this juncture, they can only fight to the death to have the possibility of escaping, if they retreat, the confidence that they have built up will be occupied by fear again!
Dangdangdang......
The sound of gold and iron was endless, and in the blink of an eye, Liancan, Mu Lei and the others had already fought with those sword-wielding warriors for dozens of moves.
The Divine Sword Gate is already good at swordsmanship, and the cooperation between the same door is extremely skillful, although the blade in the hand is not as devastating as the sword in the array, but with the support of the Five Elements Formation and the Yuan Force of more than 100 people behind him, it is not lagging behind!
Seeing this, Jiu Feng sneered, and suddenly flicked his hands continuously, and more than a dozen strong winds shot into the sword array, successively transferring back dozens of martial artists who were controlled by the magic sword. This stirred up the people on the first floor and really fell into a crisis.
Lian Can and the others have now become a situation of one against two, or even three enemies, and their physical strength is gradually exhausted, and the already very anxious battle situation begins to fall towards one side.
At this time, in the crowd, although the young man had finished arranging the black water maze, he still had no intention of getting up.
Looking at the young man's closed eyes and meditating on his mind, Qi Feihua sighed, and said to Gu Kong, who was sitting cross-legged beside him: "It seems that we have to hold up for a while, you and I will form a formation together to help Liancan and them!"
In fact, like this, leapfrogging with vitality as a talisman would consume Qi Feihua and Gu Kong a lot, and at this moment, their energy had already been overdrawn, and it was difficult to arrange a high-level formation alone to use against the enemy.
However, Gu Kong just nodded when he heard this, took out a stack of rune paper from his arms, and didn't care about the fatigue caused by the overdraft, and built a rune array with Qi Feihua. The young man in front of him was trying to control two advanced formations, and Gu Kong didn't want to lose to him in terms of endurance!
Boom!
After a violent collision, three figures fell from the sky with blood stains, and were rescued back into the talisman array, looking at their broken weapons and the few terrifying blood marks on their bodies, for a while, no one dared to jump out of the circle to confront those madmen with sharp blades.
As the so-called defeat is like a mountain, in the blink of an eye, almost all the disciples of the Divine Sword Sect were defeated, leaving only Liancan and Mu Lei still struggling to support. Some of the warriors who had lost their opponents began to attack the Five Elements Battle Array instead, and the protective light shield became shaky after a flurry of slashes, as if it was about to shatter.
Tan and Jing were in the center of the battle formation, their foreheads were covered with beads of sweat, clenching their teeth, and desperately maintaining the integrity of the formation. They are also overstepping the formation, and they are also exhausted at the moment, but they are just persisting with willpower.
"Bang, desperately want to pull the two of them back!"
With a swing of Mu Lei's sword, he used his strength to repel the attack of the two warriors, and turned a gap to release his strongest combat skill.
At this moment, Gu Kong's voice came from behind him, "Mu Lei, don't mess around, it's important to save your strength!"
When he turned around, he saw two figures jumping out of the crowd, standing beside him and Lian Can, respectively, it was Qi Feihua and Gu Kong.
"Gu Kong, what are you doing when your weapons don't come out, go back quickly!" Lian Chan shouted anxiously, even with the help of the formation, if you forcibly use your physical body to resist the attack of the sword, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg!
"Senior sister, don't worry, we won't mess around. ”
Gu Kong glanced at Qi Feihua as he spoke, and the two of them suddenly sealed at the same time, shooting the runes in their hands in all directions, blending into the air.
In an instant, the vitality in the sword array became restless, the wind was blowing, the dust was flying, the valley resounded with bursts of Sanskrit sounds, refreshing people's hearts, and several golden phantoms of the Buddha's palm handprints appeared in vain on the sky!
Those warriors with sharp blades instinctively felt the threat of the Buddha's palm handprint, and without waiting for it to solidify, they immediately reflexively swung their swords, and dozens of sword qi were thrown over. There was a boom and a flurry of sounds, and finally two of those Buddha mudras disappeared.
Gu Kong's faces turned pale, and at the same time, a mouthful of blood spurted out, obviously the round of attacks just now also caused a lot of trauma to themselves!
Without bothering to wipe it, the two of them were still engrossed in running the talisman array, and with a light snort, the seal method in their hands changed again, and gradually, the Buddha palm handprint in the sky began to solidify.
"Thousand Buddha Demon Slaying Array!"
A crisp voice resounded across the earth, and the remaining Buddha's palms emitted ten thousand golden lights, like mountain peaks, suppressing down towards the dozens of warriors!
In the face of these several Buddha palm handprints, those martial artists who were infected by the demonic qi did not have the slightest fear, and the opposite path seemed to have been greatly challenged, like a wild beast, roaring, igniting the Yuan Force of the whole body, and facing it with a sword.
The next moment, there was an amazing collision at the sword platform on the first floor, the sword aura was full of sky, the Buddha's light was full of light, and people were directly overwhelmed by that momentum!
(After all, I don't know what happened next, and I'll listen to the next breakdown.) (To be continued......)
