Chapter 891 Chong Haoguang, Shocking the Four Seats
Chapter 891 Chong Haoguang, Shocking the Four Seats
Zhou An was shocked. Almost instantly, he realized that someone was lying in ambush!
But when was this formation set up? I didn't see it when I came here. It happened so fast!
Zhou An looked around and was completely dumbfounded when he saw how massive the formation was.
This formation covers such a vast area that it couldn't possibly be set up in a short time, unless... the opponent's formation mastery is ridiculously high!
"May I ask which fellow Daoist is in your presence?"
He shouted sharply, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
Because of the isolation created by the formation, he had no idea who was in charge of the formation outside.
Nan Fengji followed, and angrily threw a punch: "Who cares who he is! We're doomed if we don't break the formation!"
He then unleashed a powerful punch, but it was to no avail; the attack vanished without a trace, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.
"How is this possible!" Both of them broke out in a cold sweat at the same time.
At this moment, the Demon Emperor Bingwu also caught up. He naturally saw the formation as well, but no matter what, he had to deal with the two people in front of him first.
Countless icy breaths bombarded the sky, and Zhou An and Nan Fengji had no choice but to turn around and defend themselves.
They are trapped!
Meanwhile, at the entrance to the blessed land, all the spectators showed expressions of surprise.
Those officials, especially those in the Nirvana and Return to Truth realms, all doubted that they had seen things correctly.
"Is this an array that can be set up so easily?"
The reason is simple: this formation is too large, and its effects are ridiculously powerful.
From God's perspective, they could see clearly that Ye Kang was outside the formation, his hands behind his back, hovering in the air, without even personally controlling it.
The formation, by virtue of its own characteristics, was able to automatically absorb the attacks of Zhou An and Nan Fengji, making its defensive power terrifyingly strong.
You have to understand, even if those two guys are no good, they are still martial artists in the mid-stage of Nirvana. Their cultivation level is several levels higher than that kid who set up the formation, yet they can't break through this formation at all.
In other words, even if there were a way to break through, they wouldn't have the chance.
Because the formation had bought enough time, the Demon Emperor Bingwu caught up.
Those two guys couldn't have escaped.
Many people glanced at Wu Yuecheng's team leader, and sure enough, all of them had livid faces, with the old man at the head staring at Jiang Yueqing with uncontrollable rage.
General Jiang was also full of helplessness. It wasn't me who ordered that kid to do it, so why does he hate me so much?
Of course, this was just what he truly felt. In any case, Jiang Yueqing would protect the martial artists of Wuyang City and would not be afraid of the hostility of Wuyue City.
"Grand Preceptor, this formation is truly formidable. Do you recognize it?"
The Empress suddenly spoke slowly, looking at the Imperial Preceptor.
The latter quickly replied, "There are countless array formations in the world, and many ancient array formations that have lost their lineage are scattered outside. Perhaps this is your own good fortune, but I do not recognize them."
Even the Imperial Advisor doesn't recognize this formation! He's the number one formation master in the Martial Dynasty!
Immediately, many people's minds started to wander.
After all, array masters, alchemists, and weapon refiners are all highly sought-after professionals.
"This kid's array formation skills are so impressive, he must be favored by the higher-ups. If we can win him over, our family will have its own array formation master."
Many people think this way, and some are even looking for unmarried women in their families. If they can seize the opportunity to marry such a woman, their family will surely gain a powerful ally.
Ye Kang was unaware that he had received so much attention, but he guessed that his big commotion would eventually be known to outsiders.
But that was precisely his intention.
How can you gain attention if you don't showcase your skills and talents?
Only by increasing the weight of one's words can one have more room to maneuver, especially in the matter of helping Su Zhongjing.
After all, the general had helped him a lot. In return, he should do everything in his power.
However, he would show what needed to be shown and hide what needed to be hidden. Ye Kang did not reveal many of his trump cards, but simply manipulated the formation.
This formation is called the Thousandfold Radiant Light Trapping Immortal Locking Dragon Formation. It is a double trapping and killing formation with extremely high cost performance, as recorded in the Xuanmen Formation Explanation.
It is considered cost-effective because the material requirements for array deployment are not high, only the quantity is required.
No matter what level of materials are used, it can be set up; the only difference is the amount of power.
The difficulty in setting up the formation lies in the requirements for technique. Ye Kang was only qualified to touch this formation after he had mastered the Great Perfection of the Mysterious Gate Formation.
This was also his first time setting up this formation. Fortunately, he had the Heaven-Turning Hand and Divine Eye Insight, along with the three major formation techniques of picking leaves and plucking flowers, which allowed him to complete it perfectly.
And the results certainly did not disappoint him.
The Thousandfold Radiant Light Trapping Immortal and Locking Dragon Formation can trap immortals and lock dragons, blocking all means of escape, and can also use the final Thousandfold Radiant Light to strike everything.
Of course, he doesn't need to attack right now; he just needs to maintain the formation and let the three guys inside wear each other down.
He focused his divine sense into the formation and saw that Nan Fengji had been struck by Bingwu Demon Emperor again, his protective true energy shattered, and a huge blood hole appeared in his abdomen.
Zhou An was no longer as confident as before; his hair was disheveled and his body was covered in wounds.
Both of them have used their first true spirit, which means they have given it their all.
Even the Demon Emperor was not unscathed; one of his frog legs was severed by the sword wound, and despite his abnormal regenerative abilities, it still affected his speed.
However, as a born demon spirit, his supernatural abilities were endless. In just a few breaths, the formation was once again invaded by endless cold air. One after another, the bone-chilling cold was like maggots clinging to the bone, constantly eroding the bodies of Zhou An and Nan Fengji.
They were already injured, and their protective true energy was becoming weaker and weaker as their true energy was consumed. In the end, these cold energies found an opportunity to penetrate their bone marrow and freeze their bodies.
Originally, they could have avoided these positional warfare tactics by fleeing.
But that's the problem. Ye Kang's grand formation created a fortified position for Bingwu Demon Emperor, leaving the two with nowhere to escape and forcing them to resist the corrosive cold.
As one weakens while the other grows stronger, their true energy diminishes, and even the divine light of their true spirits gradually dissipates.
"We can't fight anymore! This demon has too many tricks up its sleeve. If this continues, we'll be worn down and killed!" Nam Bong-gil finally realized the situation and roared loudly.
Zhou An could see this perfectly well, but he was simply unwilling to accept it.
This was only the first demon they encountered, how could it have turned out like this!
Most importantly, they could have escaped and had the opportunity to continue competing.
But it's all because of this suddenly appearing formation! Who on earth is responsible for this?!
Zhou An's mind went blank, and an opening immediately appeared. Wu Yaohuang seized the opportunity, his figure flashed, and an icy tongue lashed out, sending Zhou An flying once again.
With that, bones broke, blood gushed out, and the protective aura immediately dissipated.
Zhou An knew he had no chance left; if he persisted, he would truly die.
At the critical moment, he had no choice but to activate the teleportation jade talisman and teleport away before the Demon Emperor's attack arrived.
As they left, a defiant roar echoed in the air.
"Beast!!!"
Immediately afterward, another teleportation beam flashed, and Nan Fengji also chose to teleport out without hesitation. Wu Yaohuang suddenly lost his target and roared in fury.
"You bunch of scoundrels!"
He was filled with rage. He had finally managed to kill two human martial artists to vent his anger, but these humans had no martial ethics and ran away when they couldn't win, which reignited the resentment and hatred that had been building up in him for so many years.
At the same time, at the entrance to the blessed land, as two beams of teleportation descended, Zhou An and Nan Fengji fell to the ground in a sorry state, their faces still showing the relief of surviving a disaster.
But the next second, the two felt countless eyes on them.
Their faces turned pale instantly. They quickly bowed their heads and respectfully bowed to the Holy Emperor before silently returning to the ranks of Wuyue City.
But Zhou An was still unwilling to give up and transmitted his voice to the team leader: "Uncle, we..."
"No need to say more, we've all seen it."
"what!"
"It's all that bastard from Wuyang City's fault. You were tricked, which is understandable."
"Wuyang City? Who is that?! Could it be Wei Changkong?!"
In Zhou An's eyes, someone who could so easily take down the two of them must be at least a top-ten level expert.
However, the team leader only gave him a cold look and then said, "You'll see for yourself."
Zhou An and Nan Fengji immediately looked at the light screen, where a figure suddenly appeared that left them speechless.
"It's actually him!!!"
Ye Kang's appearance turned Zhou An's face into a liver color.
They thought it was some powerful expert making a move, but it turned out to be that weakling who they completely disregarded.
This sense of disparity made the two of them feel incredibly ashamed, and they could only awkwardly lower their heads.
Inside the light screen, Ye Kang finally proceeded to the next step.
He took out an array plate and used his divine sense to control it.
The next second, the Thousandfold Radiant Light Dragon-Locking and Immortal-Trapping Array burst forth with intense light.
The Demon Emperor Bingwu, inside the formation, coldly raised his eyes, his heart filled with disdain.
"And the last one is that audacious kid. Well, since two of them escaped, we'll have you as a snack!"
The Demon Emperor paid no attention, his body instantly grew larger, and then he opened his mouth and spat out, causing the surrounding cold air to intensify, forming an icy storm that crashed into the formation.
Thinking he could trap himself with mere unorthodox methods, that kid will pay the price for his naivety.
Bingwu Demon Emperor was very confident, after all, he had regained his strength. A second-stage martial artist was not even qualified to be his opponent.
However, the next second, with Ye Kang's encouragement, countless rays of light burst forth violently within the formation.
Almost instantly, the thousands of jade talismans that Ye Kang had buried shattered simultaneously, and the spiritual energy within them was transformed into beams of light by the array.
Above the nine heavens, there is a dazzling light, so bright that it is impossible to look directly at it.
Then, the Demon Emperor witnessed the most unforgettable scene of his life.
A thousand rays of intense light shone down upon him, filling every inch of space around him, leaving him no way to escape.
Instinct told him that the light was extremely dangerous, so he did not hesitate to raise an iceberg on the spot and completely freeze his body.
No matter how bright your light shines, I have a thick layer of ice, so your light can't get in and it's all for nothing.
The Demon Emperor was not blindly confident; he had his reasons.
I am a born demon spirit. Although the Heavenly Light is powerful, it is also a product of heaven and earth, and will naturally take care of me, the Son of Heaven.
Many times in the past, he had survived by virtue of this almost shameless favor from heaven and earth.
But this time, he miscalculated.
Because the radiance is in the heavens.
Moreover, this light did not originate from heaven and earth, but was generated by Ye Kang activating the array jade talisman and causing it to explode. If you remained still, you would become an easy target. Ye Kang couldn't be happier.
The next second, a beam of light pierced through the glacier, as if it were an invisible object, and went straight into the body of the Demon Emperor Bingwu.
Moreover, it wasn't just one beam of light, but a thousand layers of radiant light together.
In the blink of an eye, the Demon Emperor felt his demon body completely disintegrate and lose all control over it.
He roared in despair, and his demonic soul rushed out, fleeing straight into the sky.
"Damn it! What kind of formation is this?!"
The Demon Emperor finally realized that he had underestimated his opponent, which led to the destruction of his physical body.
But as long as the demon soul escapes, there is always a sliver of a chance to survive!
"Hmph, want to run away?"
Ye Kang wouldn't give him that chance. With a thought, endless gales blew down from the sky above the formation, blocking the demon soul's true form for a moment, followed by a clear bell sound.
The Soul-Binding Bell, which specializes in attacking souls, had already been placed at the top of the formation by Ye Kang.
The demon soul, having lost its physical body, was already weak. When the Soul-Binding Bell struck it, its entire body trembled.
In that instant of pause, the thousandfold radiance had already landed on his demonic soul form.
"Do not!!!"
After a desperate roar, the demon's true form instantly disintegrated.
Ye Kang seized the opportunity, rushed into the formation, and extracted the mark from the demon soul. Then, the Demon Furnace was activated, immediately sweeping away the remaining fragments of the demon soul and the corpse of the Ice Frog.
This is another excellent material, a great material from the late stage of Nirvana, which will surely contribute to his third Nirvana.
Ye Kang was very satisfied. He immediately waved his hand, and under the influence of the invisible Entangling Moon Silk, he instantly retrieved the remaining usable array plates and jade talismans.
This set of movements was so fluid and smooth, it was clear that she had done it many times and was very skilled.
At this moment, the entrance to the blessed land was already completely silent.
The faces of the people from Wuyue City were so gloomy they could practically be squeezed out of water, while Jiang Yueqing and the others from Wuyang City were filled with pride, their smiles almost bursting out of their mouths.
The court officials were astonished and full of praise.
"They actually did it! To defeat a seventh-level demon emperor with only second-level cultivation! Unheard of, unheard of at all!"
"Although there are many reasons, the results do not lie. This boy's performance is impeccable."
Many people nodded frequently.
In fact, everyone knows that Ye Kang was able to do this because he used the power of the formation, and because the Demon Emperor Bingwu was only half-crippled and had been exhausted by two people, and was also very arrogant, which is why he was killed by someone of a higher level.
But so what?
As a result, he succeeded and even caught the eye of the Holy Emperor.
Indeed, someone was secretly observing the Emperor's expression at that moment, and saw him smile with a satisfied nod, then look at Prime Minister Ye Zheng in a teasing tone and say with a smile, "Prime Minister Ye, you were wrong this time."
