Free Web NovelChapter 2663: Chapter 2666: My Formations Are Powerful
"Fifteen minutes, he broke through Chen Qingxiang’s four arrays?"
"Damn, this Jiang Chen... his expertise in formation arts is way too strong?"
"He’s setting up an array, who dares to charge in?"
Exclamations of surprise rang out, disbelief marked every eye.
"I do!"
Bursting with anger, a voice called out, turning heads to see Zuo Qiqi shouting with indignation: "Quick at breaking formations doesn’t mean quick at setting them up; doesn’t mean the formations set up are powerful. He’s just at the Divine Infant Realm, how strong can his arrays be? I refuse to believe he’s that good at arranging formations too!"
Upon hearing this, the people came to realization. Exactly, no matter how strong he is in formation arts, his overall power level is low. How powerful could his arrays possibly be?
At that moment, in the seventh area of the Myriad Array Chart, five formations appeared.
Five Elements Emperor Slaying Formation, Four Symbols Seal Demon Array, Nine Revolutions Qiankun Slash, Nine Revolutions Illusion Array, Heavenly Origin Big Dipper Array.
Three were killing arrays, one was an illusion combination array, and another was an array-breaking formation.
The Nine Revolutions Illusion Array was an illusion combination array Jiang Chen extracted from within the Nine Revolutions Qiankun Qingming Formation.
While the Heavenly Origin Big Dipper Array was set up to break through any defensive arrays the challenger might set.
By using the Heavenly Origin Big Dipper Array, one could dismantle others’ arrays and transform them into a defensive formation; while others, applying arrays, would find it converted into a trapping formation confining them within.
After setting up the five formations, Jiang Chen began merging three killing arrays with one illusion combination array.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
As soon as a hint of fusion began, four arrays trembled together, showing signs of potential collapse.
"Is this... the thread overlap in the illusion combination array?"
Jiang Chen took a close look and shook his head helplessly, indeed there was an overlap between the threads of the illusion combination array and the Five Elements Emperor Slaying Formation.
Left with no choice, Jiang Chen proceeded with merging three arrays.
Buzz!
Shortly thereafter, the Five Elements Emperor Slaying Formation, Four Symbols Demon-Breaking Formation, and Nine Revolutions Qiankun Slash fused together.
With a glance at the existing Eight Trigrams Diagram, Jiang Chen swiftly moved onto the diagram, channeling spiritual power with his left hand and the Power of the Great Dao with his right, madly pouring it into the Eight Trigrams Diagram.
Whoosh!
The Eight Trigrams Diagram lit up, a faintly five-colored sword shadow appeared in its center.
Guiding the power in for a while, Jiang Chen returned to the platform.
Feeling there is still time, Jiang Chen set up formations again, summoning spiritual seals one after another, once more forming three spiritual arrays: Five Elements Emperor Slaying Formation, Four Symbols Demon-Breaking Formation, and Nine Revolutions Qiankun Slash.
This time Jiang Chen did not merge them.
Upon completing the setup, Jiang Chen checked, waved his hand, and all the arrays vanished.
Whoosh!
In a flash, Jiang Chen leaped off the platform.
Whoosh!
The stele flickered, and Jiang Chen flew out from it.
"Jiang Chen, watch me break your formation!"
Zuo Qiqi coldly exclaimed, turned around ready to rush into the stele. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
"You and I had little animosity to begin with; you were the one provoking me, and I have punished you. I fear not the Zuo Clan, but neither do I wish for indiscriminate killing. I must secure a top-ten spot in the formation arts competition, so I have given my all in the setup."
Jiang Chen glanced at Zuo Qiqi, speaking calmly: "Here, I warn you and all who wish to challenge my formation, concede wisely— inside, I can’t control the great formations. If out of a fluke someone refuses to concede, don’t blame me if you die!"
"Hmph! Quit your pretentiousness and watch me destroy your formation!"
Zuo Qiqi snorted coldly, her figure flitted into the stele, entering the seventh area.
The others cast doubtful glances at Jiang Chen, unsure whether he was bluffing or truly capable!
"Brother Jiang!" freeωebnovēl.c૦m
A voice called out from afar as Zuo Qingfeng bowed toward Jiang Chen, still yet to enter the stele and waiting for his turn.
"Zuo Qingfeng, what do you mean? Knowing he’s our Zuo Clan’s enemy, why call him Brother Jiang?"
A young member of the Zuo Clan glared discontentedly at Zuo Qingfeng.
Zuo Lincheng glanced at Zuo Qingfeng but remained silent.
"What’s the matter?"
Jiang Chen spoke softly.
"Firstly, thanks to Brother Jiang for recommending me to the Family Head, otherwise I wouldn’t have earned the clan’s favor."
Zuo Qingfeng bowed to Jiang Chen in gratitude.
The crowd paused in surprise, turning in unison toward Zuo Lincheng.
Zuo Lincheng however, was focused on the stele’s imagery, as if he hadn’t heard.
"Your talent deserved recognition; no recommendation would have sufficed without it."
Jiang Chen casually waved his hand.
Zuo Qingfeng refrained from further comment on the matter, and after a glance at the stele, he seriously asked: "Brother Jiang, could you reveal the killing arrays’ power inside?"
"Able to slash at the Union Path!"
Jiang Chen glanced at the stele and whispered: "If there’s a way, have her prepare to concede. Regardless of whether she can withstand it, using any power beyond formation means failure. I don’t mind saying it—the place holds four killing arrays plus an illusion array. Soon, a trapping array will activate, and I don’t think she can break it!"
On the stele now, the seventh area is shrouded in mist, and in Jiang Chen’s perception, Zuo Qiqi lay forming an array; regardless of what she sets, it’ll be converted into a trapping formation by the Heavenly Origin Big Dipper Array!
"Four killing arrays, illusion array, trapping formation—he set six arrays within two hours? Can they really slash Union Path realm strongholds? Is it true?"
"Can’t be real, can it? Could he set up formations that slash Union Path realm?"
"When he emerged, I sensed his aura unsteady; he must have set up arrays requiring spiritual power infusion, right?"
"I felt it too, his aura of the Great Dao was quite rich, surely he set up arrays needing infusion of the Power of the Great Dao."
Voices rose in discussion among the crowd.
Zuo Qingfeng’s pupils contracted, his expression turned grave as he eyed Zuo Lincheng.
"Do you believe him?"
Zuo Lincheng quietly queried Zuo Qingfeng.
Gazing into Zuo Lincheng’s eyes, Zuo Qingfeng realized Zuo Lincheng too believed, albeit unwilling to outwardly acknowledge without face-saving; rather, he sought affirmation.
"Clan Leader, I trust Brother Jiang."
Zuo Qingfeng earnestly responded: "I’ve previously witnessed the power of Brother Jiang’s arrays; while the Union Path wasn’t swayed, enough to slash late Virtual Refinement Realm, yet Miss Qiqi is merely mid-stage Virtual Refinement Realm, should it..."
"Seeing your belief, I shall count on you once!"
Zuo Lincheng nodded, turned to Ming Xuanren: "City Lord Ming, I shall invoke the privilege of the clans from the previous three rankings. Should Qiqi face mortal danger without timely concession, please rescue her from within."
"Absolutely!"
Ming Xuanren nodded gently, cast a glance at Jiang Chen, turned to the stele to prepare extracting Zuo Qiqi.
Though he lacks full control over the Myriad Array Chart, sensing fluctuations and rescuing individuals within remains feasible. He felt the formidable killing array inside and sensed Zuo Qiqi caught in the trapping formation.
Zuo Qiqi meanwhile displayed shame mixed with anger, seemingly unable to uncover a solution for the formation!
The array’s fluctuations in surround felt off; pinpointing the exact error eluded her.
