Chapter 322
The two arrays appeared, constantly clashing and colliding, making a series of explosions. A powerful aura rippled out in all directions.
Everyone's expression changed. This energy was very terrifying. Even if one was in the air, they would be smashed into pieces.
"Buzz."
Ma Yanqing's face was extremely ugly. Such a scene was far beyond his expectations. His attainments in arrays were very deep, but he had never seen such a broken array. The destructive aura hit him, and his body lit up with rays of light. This was a defensive array. The brilliance flowed, blocking the destructive energy impact for him.
"Boom."
Within the loud explosion, the formation exploded. The aura of destruction rippled out, and the thirty-two Spirit Armaments were sent flying in all directions by the shockwave, as if they were bolts of cold lightning. At the same time, Ma Yanqing's eight formation flags were also sent flying by the shockwave of energy. At the same time, the flagpole that was filled with inscriptions emitted cracking sounds, as cracks appeared.
"Puff."
Under the impact of the powerful energy, the defensive array around Ma Yanqing's body was instantly shattered. At the same time, he was also sent flying, coughing out blood. He flew for dozens of meters and finally landed awkwardly.
The array was broken, and the stone door appeared again, but there were no corpses left. The rogue cultivators before had obviously been killed by the array.
"It's broken, the array is finally broken."
"As expected of the Little Master. He can even break such an array."
There were exclamations all around. Everyone looked at Zi Chen again. Obviously, the other party's attainments in arrays were far beyond Ma Yanqing's.
The array was broken, but no one stepped forward. Everyone still had some lingering fear in their hearts.
Moreover, there was an array here, and maybe there was another one. No one wanted to die inexplicably.
"Brat, you did it on purpose."
Ma Yanqing climbed up from the ground. He was very embarrassed. His defensive array was broken, and his clothes were tattered. He glanced at Zi Chen, and his eyes were filled with killing intent.
The eight array flags had flown back, but there were cracks all over them. The luster was dim. This was something that he had spent a lot of money to refine. It was equivalent to half of his life. At this moment, seeing the cracks on it, Ma Yanqing's heart was bleeding.
"Grandmaster, you're wrong. I did remind you before, but you insisted on not retreating." Zi Chen chuckled.
With the formation broken, the group of Sect Masters looked at him with much friendlier eyes. At this moment, he was not afraid that Ma Yanqing would suddenly attack.
"Brat, consider yourself ruthless. I, Ma Yanqing, will remember what happened today. There will be a day when you will regret it." Ma Yanqing coldly said.
"It's my honor to be remembered by a Formation Grandmaster." Zi Chen smiled faintly.
"Alright, both grandmasters, let's not quarrel anymore. What's important is to enter the depths. I wonder if there are still any formations here." Someone in the air spoke up. Clearly, this was the instruction of the grandmaster level.
"Hmph, ask him." Ma Yanqing snorted.
Helpless, Yu Kong could only look at Zi Chen.
"Of course." Zi Chen nodded and said confidently, "And more than one."
The crowd was in an uproar, but even more people were rejoicing.
Fortunately, they hadn't been greedy. Otherwise, they would have died for nothing.
"However, these formations aren't very powerful. They're just the peripheral ones. Once the main formation is broken, these will be broken quickly," said Zi Chen.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, young grandmaster."
Then, Zi Chen, under Elder Mo's spiritual will, commanded Yu Kong to break the remaining formations.
Just as Zi Chen had said, the remaining formations were much easier. They only needed to use a few spirit items to break them.
"Young grandmaster is so young, but he already has such attainments in formations. In the future, his name will definitely spread throughout the southern region."
"What do you mean by spread throughout the southern region? Spread throughout the Martial Heaven Continent."
During this time, Zi Chen heard many compliments, but he remained unmoved. That was because he knew nothing about formations. It was all Elder Mo's credit.
Elder Mo repeatedly sighed at the mysteries of the formations, while Zi Chen didn't understand the slightest.
"Bang."
With a loud bang, another formation was broken.
"Alright, a total of nine formations have been broken. We can go in now." Zi Chen sighed with relief.
Previously, Ma Yanqing hadn't said a single word. She had only looked at him coldly.
"Are you sure there are no more formations here?"
But just as Zi Chen finished speaking, Ma Yanqing suddenly asked, a strange light flashing in her eyes.
Ma Yanqing's question caused those people who were preparing to enter the formations to stop. They looked at Zi Chen in confusion.
"What do you mean?" Zi Chen looked at her.
"I said, are you sure there are no more formations here? This place is safe." Ma Yanqing sneered at Zi Chen.
"Of course I'm sure," Zi Chen said. He was very confident.
"Hmph, as expected of a child."
Ma Yanqing sneered inside, but her expression didn't change. "Since you're so sure, why don't you go in yourself? Why do you want others to go in first?"
"What do you mean?" Zi Chen stared at Ma Yanqing.
"I mean, since you're the one who broke the formations, you should go in first."
The two of them had a conflict again, but at this moment, no one stopped them. Those experts who had stepped forward also retreated. Their expressions changed, and they didn't dare to step forward again.
"Are you questioning my attainments in formations?" asked Zi Chen.
"Of course not, I just hope that you can go in first." Ma Yanqing sneered.
"Hmph, I'll go in."
Zi Chen snorted, but he didn't move. His eyes looked forward as if he wanted to see through everything.
"Boy, aren't you very confident in your attainments in formations? This is the formation you broke, why don't you dare to go in?"
"Who says I don't dare?"
"If you dare, then go in."
"I'll go in." Zi Chen still didn't move, staring at the stone gate in front of him.
Ma Yanqing was so angry that his nose was crooked. He said angrily, "Boy, if you still have a little bit of dignity, go in yourself."
"I'll go in." Zi Chen still didn't move, staring at the gate in front of him, trying to see what was going on.
Ma Yanqing was furious. This junior was really shameless.
"Little master, since everyone calls you master, obviously they recognize your attainments in formations. Since you think there's no problem with the formation, why don't you go in yourself?"
"Yeah, could it be that the master deliberately left a formation to harm people? Or is there something wrong with the formation, and the little master's attainments in formations are not enough to see it?"
Seeing that Zi Chen didn't move, the few geniuses sneered. This time, no one stopped them. Obviously, they could see that Zi Chen didn't have enough confidence.
Zi Chen turned his head and said with a faint smile, "I'm confident in my attainments in formations. I can conclude that there's no formation here."
"If that's the case, then go in." Geng Le said with a mocking face.
The other geniuses also joined in.
As for Ma Yanqing, he obviously didn't want to bother with Lin Fan. He was too shameless. He didn't dare to make a judgment, so he wouldn't go in.
"Haha, very well, then I'll go in and let you see. But don't regret it when I get something." Zi Chen had a strange smile on his face.
"Haha, the master is indeed a master. If that's the case, then please."
Ma Yanqing also said in a low voice, "Yes, since the little master is so sure, then please."
It was the first time he called Zi Chen the little master, but looking at his expression, he didn't look happy.
"Well, don't regret it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zi Chen turned around and strode towards the stone gate. He was very decisive.
Some of the grandmasters frowned and felt that something was wrong. They wanted to stop him. If he really got the treasure, it would be bad.
But before they could say anything, Zi Chen arrived in front of the stone gate and stepped on a formation. With a flash, a large formation appeared and swallowed Zi Chen in an instant.
Without a sound, without even a scream, Zi Chen's figure disappeared.
"Haha, idiot."
Seeing Zi Chen disappear, Ma Yanqing laughed out loud. "He can't even see the hidden formation. What kind of master is he?"
Everyone's expression changed. The little master disappeared just like that.
"Haha, a master killed by a formation. It's really funny."
"What kind of formation master is this? He can't even see if there's a formation."
The other geniuses also laughed. They had been suppressed along the way, and now they could finally hold their heads high.
"How could this be?"
"The little master's previous performance proves that his attainments in formations are very high. Why can't he see that there's a formation here?"
Even more people were puzzled.
"On the surface, there are nine great formations connected together. If you use force to break them, it will trigger the other great formations, making the formation even stronger. However, other than the nine great formations, there is also a hidden formation. If I had not read similar ancient books, I am afraid I would have overlooked it. He deserved to die." Ma Yanqing laughed loudly, very carefree. He had finally killed the other party.
"Sigh."
Sighs rang out from the crowd. They all felt that it wasn't worth it for the little master.
"This hidden formation isn't very strong. It's easy to break, but if you're sucked into it, you'll definitely die."
The cracked flag once more began to spin, emitting rays of light. Then, a powerful aura surged, and the formation exploded.
The formation disappeared. As expected, there was no one inside.
The little master was dead.
Disappointment spread. Everyone felt that it was a pity. A formation master whose name would resound throughout the continent had died so carelessly.
Only the previous geniuses felt very happy.
"Alright, there are no more formations here. We can go in and search for treasures. The inheritance is very likely inside."
This time, Ma Yanqing was very confident.
Several geniuses flew up and pushed open the stone gate.
Crack, crack.
The stone door was pushed open, producing a sound. Just as the stone door was pushed open a crack, an austere aura surged out. The terrifying murderous aura made people tremble.
Everyone's expression changed. They were very vigilant. This murderous intent was much more terrifying than the previous two levels.
The stone gate was completely pushed open, causing a huge tremor.
"Boom!"
At the same time, a surge of murderous intent surged out. It seemed to materialize, causing the geniuses who had pushed open the gate to retreat rapidly.
The murderous intent filled the air, causing everyone to suck in a breath of cold air. Their eyes were filled with shock.
Inside the stone door, there were many stone statues that emitted a terrifying aura. Moreover, the moment the stone door was pushed open, the Soul Lock of the Divine Seal was activated. All the stone statues' petrified skin disappeared, and they turned into experts.
They were holding ancient weapons or pill weapons. Their empty eyes were filled with boundless murderous intent.
Clang!
