Chapter 537: Face to Face
The flower-backed turtle and Shan Tao were already tired of watching, and they suddenly began to worry about the enemies coming from the Star Gate. This formation, which looked only fourth-level on the surface, was full of traps inside.
"How long will it take for the enemy to arrive?"
Sitting in the middle, Chen Luo asked casually.
"Half an hour."
The turtle pattern on the back of the flower-backed turtle flickered, and he and Shan Tao chose a position near the corner to hide.
"Shenshan!"
Three figures appeared in the air, and the leader Shang Xuan Yixu took two steps, stretched out his right hand and pressed down. The power of the spirit was like a water curtain, spreading out layer by layer, and the flowing heaven and earth energy around was instantly transformed, all transformed into earth-attributed spiritual energy, transformed into a mountain, and fell from the sky.
The people from the Star Gate were more direct than they expected, without a word of nonsense, and killed them as soon as they met.
The nearly 100-meter-high mountain, with an irresistible impact, collided with the rising formation, and a circle of circular formation patterns lit up. The falling boulder changed its direction strangely when it touched the formation, and smashed down to the other side.
Boom! !
The mountain hit the other side fiercely, and a large amount of rubble was scattered.
The direction was affected by the formation and was crooked. The third-level trap formation can affect the direction, not to mention the fourth-level formation that Chen Luo personally controlled.
"Formation?"
Shang Xuanyi retracted his hand and frowned slightly.
"It turned out to be a formation master. No wonder Lu Tianhe was killed by him."
The two people next to him also showed the same expression, thinking that they had found the cause of death of the foreign affairs elder Lu Tianhe. A well-prepared formation master can indeed kill the enemy across levels, not to mention that Chen Luo himself is also a spirit-transforming cultivator. When fighting at the same level, there are two concepts with and without formation assistance.
"Fourth-level formation."
Shi Shang soon noticed the level of the formation. For a spiritual cultivator, the fourth-level formation is just a little troublesome, and it can be broken with some effort.
"Let me do it."
The female cultivator Zhu Yan on the right raised her hands, and a long green flute appeared in her hands. A faint voice fell from above like a sound wave, and Chen Luo and the flower-backed turtle in the formation suddenly felt upset, and their souls were also affected.
Under the influence of the sound, a large amount of water vapor emerged from the internal area of the formation.
These water vapors are like mist, without subjective consciousness. They spread out to the surroundings based on the location where they were born.
If it were flat land, the valley below would be covered by water mist in an instant and turned white. But under the influence of the formation, the automatically spreading water mist deviated, and they were guided to different areas to form vortices. This is the perspective of the people in the formation. If you are trapped in the formation, the straight lines seen by your eyes and consciousness are likely to be distorted. If you walk according to your perception, you will never get out of the formation.
Shang Xuanyi and the other three did not enter the formation. The female cultivator Zhu Yan used the spiritual weapon in her hand to break the formation from the outside. This method works for formations below the fourth level. If the formation reaches the fifth level, it is another level.
Just like the cultivation realm, the fifth level corresponds to the transformation of the spirit! In the formation, it is another world.
In the world of immortal cultivation, the description of high-level formations is also very simple. Below the fifth level is ordinary, and from the fifth level onwards it is spiritual!
The spiritual formation is the combination of heaven and earth, and it cannot be broken by ordinary means.
"Seven formation eyes."
Putting down the long flute in her hand, Zhu Yan told the two people around her what she had found out.
It will be easy if we find the formation eye.
Shi Shang took a step forward and drew his sword behind him. The sword energy in the sky formed a sudden rain, and under his control, it fell downward in the form of sword rain. At the moment of approaching the formation, these sword energies were also affected by the formation and began to deviate.
"Up!"
Shi Shang stretched out his right hand, put his index finger and middle finger together, and a flash of light forcibly changed the direction of the sword rain.
In the formation, the direction was modified. If they attacked directly, the sword rain would be drawn to the surroundings like Zhu Yan's water mist before, forming seven whirlpools. But now it was different. They stood outside the formation and forcibly corrected the direction from the perspective of a bystander.
Boom boom boom!!
The sword rain fell, and the corners of the formation shook, and suddenly a gap appeared. The flower-backed turtle and Shan Tao, who were watching the show, were stunned and felt something was wrong.
"Flood!"
Shang Xuan, who had been waiting beside him, flashed and stepped on it. The yellow-brown power spread along the soles of his feet, and his "God" was called up at the first time. The surrounding aura changed rapidly under his influence, including Zhu Yan's water mist and Shi Shang's sword energy before, all of which turned into yellow-brown muddy water at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even the weeds on the ground and the mud layer on the surface were forcibly rewritten, mixed in the mud and water, and swept towards Chen Luo, the center of the formation, in a way that swept the world.
Boom!!
Shan Tao, who was at the gap of the formation, was hit by the flood on the spot. He flew backwards, blood gushed out of his mouth, and rolled to the side fiercely, about to be swallowed by the flood.
These muddy waters were not ordinary floods, but magical powers.
If the magical powers of the Transformation Realm were really submerged, they would never float up again.
"Get out of the way!"
The flower-backed turtle was closest to Shan Tao. He grabbed Shan Tao's collar and threw him, and his figure moved towards Chen Luo at the fastest speed. He didn't expect the formation to be broken so quickly. The three masters of the Star Gate were more powerful than expected.
Just when he flew halfway, the flood flooded over.
These brown muddy waters seemed to be derived from the void, cutting off his retreat. At the critical moment, he shrank his limbs and curled his head inside, leaving only a turtle shell. The remaining strength slapped the turtle shell fiercely, causing a lot of water splashes.
Then came the second and third waves
These yellow-brown floods seemed endless. As soon as they were exhausted, new forces would be replenished from the outside, as if they were endless and flooded the world.
"Die!"
Shi Shang took advantage of the situation to appear in the formation. As long as a hole was broken, the rest would be easy.
The long sword in his hand turned into a shadow and slashed at the flower-backed turtle, the enemy exposed in the gap of the formation. This sword is a spiritual weapon. Although it is only a low-grade spiritual weapon, if it is slashed, it will definitely be severely injured.
A layer of light appeared on the flower-backed turtle, which sensed the danger, and its speed increased several times at once. The results of "enjoying" many heavenly tribulations in the Tiannan region were revealed. All the power in his body gathered to one point, and a spiral breath emerged from his palm, and he slapped it in the opposite direction towards Shi Shang.
But Shi Shang on the opposite side did not even stop, and the sword in his hand flashed and split into three.
Bang!
The flood around exploded with a sword slash, and a spherical vacuum burst out.
Only a scream was heard from the flower-backed turtle, and its limbs and head retracted into the turtle shell, and it rolled out horizontally, hitting the water and sinking to the bottom. After a few bubbles, there was no sound.
"Senior Turtle?!"
Shan Tao, who was thrown out by the flower-backed turtle, came back to his senses at this time. He looked at the two enemies who broke into the formation with a shocked face.
With the strength of Senior Turtle, he was solved in one encounter.
Just at this time, the third figure Zhu Yan also walked in.
The three of them glanced at Shan Tao. On the mission order of the Star Gate, Shan Tao's face was portrayed in great detail.
Puff!
The sword swept across, and also chopped Shan Tao into the bottom of the water.
This result made Shi Shang frown slightly.
His original idea was to cut this man in half with one sword, but for some reason it turned into a chop. Some invisible force affected him, which made him quickly collect his mind and start to check the surroundings.
Poison?
Shi Shang's face changed slightly. He didn't know when he was poisoned. The whole arm turned purple and blue. This feeling was a bit like spider poison, but different. In Shi Shang's impression, spider poison was not so strong.
"Be careful, the stones on the ground are cursed."
Before Shi Shang had time to speak, he heard Zhu Yan's solemn voice behind him.
Zhu Yan, who originally had a fluttering feathered robe, now had a lot of black air between his eyebrows. It was obvious that he was cursed. This curse is not low-level, and it takes a lot of time to calm down and remove it.
Roar! !
The soil under Shang Xuanyi's feet cracked, and three black corpse puppets rushed out, trying to sneak attack. But before he could get close, Shang Xuanyi stepped on him and turned him into a pulp. His body fell down and smashed into the brown muddy water. Shang Xuanyi was in the best condition among the three. He used his "God" to transform his foothold into a "flood". Standing on the water, he was invincible.
"There are many small tricks, but they can't change the outcome."
Ignoring his two companions, Shang Xuanyi looked forward.
Under the scouring of the flood, the formation nodes exploded one after another, and the figure of Chen Luo, the formation master, also appeared in front of the three.
A young man in green clothes with a thin face. Unlike ordinary formation masters, he held a chessboard in his hand and a black gourd hung around his waist. The moment he saw this person, Shang Xuanyi determined the target. The hint of obscure aura on the mission order was this person.
A "smart man" who hid in the dark and used his men to sneak attack their Star Gate.
This kind of person didn't understand Dao Sect at first glance, nor did he know Dao Sect's methods. He thought he could hide behind and not be noticed by anyone. Little did they know that the sect cultivators had their own natal marks, which were engraved in the sect. Once they died, they would be immediately detected. Hiding in the dark was useless. Unless there was a Taoist master of the same level to help hide the breath, even if they escaped to the ends of the earth, they could not avoid the mark.
"Did you kill Lu Tianhe?"
Shang Xuanyi looked at this person, and for a moment he could not see through him.
"I held a funeral for a friend named Lu two days ago. He passed away peacefully." Chen Luo nodded seriously.
Steady breath, solid foundation.
No wonder Lu Tianhe failed because he was not a human god. He did have some skills. He was also a formation master. Judging from the situation of Shi Shang and Zhu Yan, he was also proficient in poison and curse.
"I can give you a chance."
Shang Xuanyi suddenly changed his mind. He felt that it was more valuable to subdue this person.
"Let go of your mind, sign the contract, and I will guarantee that you will not die."
He took out a roll of animal skin contract from his sleeve and gently threw it to Chen Luo. (End of this chapter)
