Chapter 29: Breaking the Formation
Don't look at Bai Jian's young age, he is actually very fond of violence. Although he wants to fight Chen Luo, it's just that. Apart from this, he doesn't hate Chen Luo and has no reason to hate him. On the contrary, compared to Chen Luo, what makes him even more uncomfortable is Ye Qing. He dislikes this hypocritical and arrogant woman who takes herself as the center of everything.
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Qing's face turned green with rage, his whole body trembling with anger. Pointing at Bai Jian, he gritted his teeth and said: "Bai Jian, you despicable person! Today I will teach you a lesson!" With that, he charged forward.
But Bai Jian was not someone to be trifled with, and with a swift motion, he drew his long sword from behind his back. The battle erupted instantly, with both sides clashing together in a flurry of blows. Ding Zixuan and Xue Yuxin simultaneously intervened to stop the two men, but Ding Zixuan's face was also not looking good. After all, the fact that his woman had once pursued Chen Luo was being spoken about by Bai Jian in such a way, making him lose some face in front of his goddess.
"Bai Jian, aren't you being too excessive?" Ding Zixuan's face was gloomy, and his tone was also quite impolite.
"Ding Zixuan, I advise you to leave this woman as soon as possible. Otherwise, she will ruin your future sooner or later." Bai Jian let out a cold hum and left without another word.
Ding Zixuan did not comfort Ye Qing this time, but instead apologized to Xue Yawen: "Sorry, I made Miss Yawen laugh."
Xue Xiangyun responded with a smile and didn't say much, apparently she wasn't interested in the matter. She looked ahead and said, "Let's hurry up and go."
Inside the mountain range, there were tunnels everywhere. Xue Yi held a compass in his hand to explore the fluctuations of the formation method, and thus to distinguish which direction was closer. After walking for more than two hours, several people finally came to a strange place, and opposite them was a stone gate.
"Stone gate? Is someone living here?"
Seeing the stone gate, Ding Zixuan and others were extremely surprised. They originally thought that this was an abnormal change caused by the beast's worship, but now it seems not so simple. Bai Jian was about to walk over and push open the stone gate when Xue Yuxin immediately spoke out to stop him.
"There is an array on the stone gate, don't touch it randomly."
As soon as he heard the formation method, Bai Jian quickly withdrew his hand. He had suffered losses from formations before and was extremely wary of them.
Xue Xiang pointed to a recessed groove next to the stone gate, and Ding Zixuan and others looked over. The groove was surrounded by a pattern, they didn't understand array methods, only knowing it was an array image, as for what else, they weren't clear, so they all looked at Xue Xiang.
Xue Yaoyao was crowned the heavenly pride of Jinshui Domain, not only because she had extraordinary attainments in the field of cultivation, but also because she was quite proficient in the field of array techniques. It is said that she was a certified star-grade array master by the Array Public Association.
"This is a mechanism formation. If it's not opened accurately, touching the stone gate randomly will trigger the mechanism." Xue Yiwen explained while observing the formation.
"Does Miss Yu Xiang understand the way of cracking?" asked Bai Jian.
"I'm just an ordinary array master, I can set up ordinary arrays, as for the way of breaking it's not very proficient, however...I'll try my best." Xue Yiwen didn't hide anything, although she humbly said that she was just an ordinary array master, but she wasn't very proficient in the way of breaking.
"Oh, I see." White Sword looked disappointed.
"Bai Jian, be careful with your words." Ding Zixuan stepped forward and said: "Although I am not an array master, I also know that breaking an array is much more difficult than setting one up. Among a hundred array masters, it's already rare to find one who understands the way of breaking arrays."
"I didn't say anything." Bai Jian curled his lips and said casually, "If Tongtian Laozu were here, that god-like guy, it's said he can even freely enter and exit the small spiritual realm belonging to the Central Academy. I think with just a snap of his fingers, he could easily break through this small mechanism array."
If it's about IQ, Bai Jian is not inferior to Ding Zi Xuan. He knows that Ding Zi Xuan has a crush on Xue Rong Wan, and earlier he was just casually talking without any intention of targeting Xue Rong Wan. This guy immediately stood up to defend Xue Rong Wan, now the meaning behind Bai Jian's words is very clear: aren't you, Ding Zi Xuan, supposed to be defending your goddess? I brought up Tong Tian Lao Zu, how can you still defend her? Isn't your goddess very powerful? Can she surpass even Tong Tian Lao Zu? He's someone who dares to threaten the Guang Ming Temple, does your goddess dare to do that?
As expected, when Bai Jian mentioned Tongtian Laozu, Ding Zixuan didn't know how to refute him. After all, the person known as Tongtian Laozu was too powerful. The reason everyone gave him the nickname Tongtian Laozu was that his attainments in the field of array techniques had already reached an unparalleled level.
Ding Zixuan comforted: "Xiang Wan, don't mind Bai Jian, he doesn't understand things."
Xue Xiangwan smiled lightly and gazed at the formation, saying: "He's right, in the field of formation breaking, there probably isn't anyone in this world who can surpass Tongtian Old Ancestor. I'm just an ordinary formation master, how can I be mentioned in the same breath as a peak figure like that?"
"Oh?" White Sword let out a soft exclamation, his expression quite surprised and delighted. He asked, "Are you also an admirer of Tongtian Old Ancestor?" Judging from White Sword's expression, he seemed to be an admirer of Tongtian Old Ancestor.
"Do you worship him? Perhaps. Xue Yiwen slightly shook her head, but nodded and said: "I just admire his extraordinary skills in breaking through the formation method, as for his behavior, sorry, I can't agree with it."
Bai Jian let out a disappointed sigh and said, "I don't understand formations, but I worship Tongtian Laozu. In my heart, he is like a god-like existence. If I'm lucky enough to see him in this life, I, Bai Jian, will die without regret."
At this time, the sound of footsteps came from outside, and everyone looked up to see two people walking out of the tunnel. One was tall and strong, with a robust build, while the other was slender, with a pale face that seemed slightly delicate. It was Chen Luo and Niu Wen.
Both parties met again, whether it was Chen Luo or Ding Zixuan, they were both stunned. They didn't expect to run into each other twice in this winding tunnel. This is indeed a case of "enemies meeting on a narrow road".
"Chen Luo, it's you again."
Ding Zixuan didn't have the same smile as the first time when he saw Chen Luo this time.
"It's really a coincidence." Chen Luo's mouth was curved into a smile, and his originally gentle face had a playful smile on it, which made him look quite evil. His dark eyes scanned over Ding Zixuan and others, and then stopped at the formation of the array, just glanced at it, and then pushed the door to enter.
"Chen Luo, don't blame me for not warning you, there's a mechanism array here. If you touch the stone gate, it will definitely trigger the mechanism." No one knew which side Bai Jian was on, he seemed to dislike everyone, and said: "I'm still looking forward to competing with you in the trial, I don't want you to be killed by the mechanism."
It's also unknown if he was so disgusted with Ye Qing that he started to stand on Chen Luo's side, saying: "However, Miss Yu Xun is currently breaking through, just wait a bit longer."
At this time, Wan Liqun stood up and said: "Chen Luo, this is the stone gate we discovered first. According to the rules, don't you think you should leave?" Fang Hongguang and Gao Fei immediately stood up in agreement.
"Stop arguing, we're all apprentices of Jinshui Domain. Why must you quarrel over such a trivial matter? Moreover, having one more person means one more share of strength. What if there's some danger inside?" Xue Yuxuan seemed to have forgotten Chen Luo's indifference towards her earlier.
Xue Xiangyun said so, Ding Zixuan expressed his agreement. Since he said so, Wan Liqun and others couldn't say anything.
"If it's according to the rules, whoever enters first gets it, and you haven't even entered yet, you've only just discovered it." Chen Luo stood in front of the stone gate, looking at the formation and then at the stone gate, and smiled: "If I were to enter first, wouldn't you have to leave according to the rules?"
"Haha, what a joke." Ye Qing sneered: "You don't even look in the mirror, and you think you can get in just like that, it's really laughable."
"Then you laugh at the door."
Having said that, Chen Luo directly operated his spiritual power and went to push the stone gate. Xue Yi cried out in surprise, "Don't!", but it was too late. Chen Luo's fist slammed onto the stone gate with a loud crash, and the array diagram beside him suddenly distorted. Then, something that no one expected happened - the stone gate actually... actually opened.
Everyone was stunned at this scene.
Xue Yaowei didn't say that there was a mechanism formation on the Stone Gate, and that touching the Stone Gate would trigger the mechanism?
Chen Luo's fist opened the stone gate, but instead of triggering the mechanism, it distorted the entire array.
This scene left Ding Zixuan bewildered, Bai Jian perplexed, and even Xue Yikun himself was unusually disoriented.
They actually didn't know that Chen Luo had observed the formation as soon as he arrived, and with one glance, he determined that although the structure of this array was still relatively intact, it was too old, just like an ancient wooden house weathered by the wind, which seemed to be intact but would shatter and collapse at the slightest encounter with strong force. So when Chen Luo punched down, the internal structure instantly collapsed.
This scene not only put Xue Yaowen in an awkward position but also made Ye Qing lose face in front of the adults.
Bai Jian glanced at Ye Qing, cursed and walked in.
