Chapter 172: Three Days of Confrontation
As soon as the three entered the formation, the formation started to operate automatically.
In an instant, swords, spears, axes, fireballs, ice cones, wooden pillars and ground spikes attacked the three Jindan monks from all directions. The three were naturally prepared.
Duan Yuntao used his hands to control the magic shadow knife and the shadowless knife respectively, one positive and one negative, one far and one near, using the magic shadow knife to hit the formation attack from afar, and using the shadowless magic knife to protect himself at any time; Gu Yuanba was much simpler, relying on his amazing defense of "Earth Dragon Turtle Shell Skill", after trying the formation attack and failing to cause fatal damage to himself, he rushed all the way; as for Hu Da, he entered the formation with one sword, holding the Qingying Sword, the sword energy was surging, the sword light was crisscrossing, and the sword light was flashing. All the formation attacks could not get close to Hu Da, and Hu Da was calm and unhurried, like strolling in the garden.
Although the three Jindans could not find the key point of the formation, the formation attack of the Five Elements Reversal Formation could not cause much damage to them - after all, the Five Elements Reversal Formation was only a sixth-level formation, and it was a sixth-level trapping formation rather than a killing formation. As a formation at the Jindan level, when facing Jindan strongmen, the problem of insufficient attack power was undoubtedly revealed.
In the mountain protection formation, Xiao Mian and the other two did not look good, but Leng Ningyu looked as if it was a matter of course.
"Master! Are we just going to let them break the formation?" After enduring it again and again, seeing Leng Ningyu just glanced at the three people in the formation at first, and then lowered his head and kept silent, Huangfu Ling finally couldn't help asking: "Is there no way to stop them?"
"Stop? Why should we stop? Although the lethality of the Five Elements Reversal Formation cannot cause effective damage to them, the sixth-level mountain protection formation is not something they can break by bumping around like headless flies." Huo Ran looked up and saw Huangfu Ling looking at him with a puzzled face. Leng Ningyu smiled indifferently: "Let them flutter for a while, and they will stop naturally when they are tired. If they don't stop by then, I don't mind going out to meet them..."
Having said this, Leng Ningyu pondered for a moment.
"Qingqiong, is Wan Tianyun still in Wanzongyuan?"
Wan Tianyun is the younger brother of Wan Tianfeng, the leader of the Demon Shadow Sect, and the leading formation master of the Demon Shadow Sect.
It's just that the Demon Shadow Sect has a shallow foundation and does not have a complete array inheritance. Wan Tianyun usually practices arrays in the original array of the Wan Sect.
That's why Leng Ningyu asked this question.
"According to the intelligence from some time ago, Wan Tianyun is indeed practicing arrays in the original array of the Wan Sect. However, the Demon Shadow Sect made such a big move this time. As the first Jindan cultivator of the Demon Shadow Sect, he must have received the transfer order and is probably on his way now."
Fu Qingqiong answered respectfully. Among Leng Ningyu's four disciples, Fu Qingqiong was not the most outstanding, but he was the most valued by Leng Ningyu. Therefore, most of the affairs of the sect were handled by Fu Qingqiong.
Seeing that Leng Ningyu was just looking at him, Fu Qingqiong continued: "Conservatively estimated: Wan Tianyun should arrive at the Five Elements Sect at least three days later!"
Leng Ningyu nodded slightly, but said nothing, and Xiao Mian and others naturally would not speak casually.
After a while, Leng Ningyu waved her hand and actually signaled the three to leave with her. Seeing Leng Ningyu waving his hand and then flying towards the Bi Bo Lake, Xiao Mian and the other two looked at each other and had to follow him flying with the sword.
Before leaving, Xiao Mian looked back and saw that the range of the formation was full of flames and sword energy. The positions of the three Jindan masters were covered with magic attacks of various five elements, and the formation was like three more gorgeous flowers.
As for Duan Yuntao and the other two, although they seemed to be free to come and go in the formation, they were actually useless. Their goal was to try to break the formation, not to save themselves. If that was the case, wouldn't it be better for them not to enter the formation just now? However, although this five-element reversal formation could not hurt them, it also made it impossible for them to distinguish the direction in the formation, let alone find the flaws of the formation and then destroy the formation by brute force.
What they are doing now is just wasting their own true essence.
Those who can cultivate to the level of Jindan masters are certainly not stupid. Even the seemingly big and strong Gu Yuanba knows that he is doing useless work. The three of them nodded and decided to withdraw from the Five Elements Reversal Formation first and discuss a safe solution.
Over there, Leng Ningyu had already brought Xiao Mian and others back to Bi Bo Tan.
Leng Ningyu did not explicitly tell Xiao Mian and others what to do, but only asked them to meditate and rest in Bi Bo Cave, saying that the time was not right.
In this way, the two sides stopped fighting and confronted each other for a whole day.
The next day, Duan Yuntao and the other three Jindan took Lu Chengzhi in the middle and rushed into the Five Elements Reversal Formation again, trying to use Lu Chengzhi's understanding of the mountain protection formation to find a breakthrough. Leng Ningyu had been waiting for them to do this. He lurked in the formation quietly and suddenly attacked. Although he did not kill Lu Chengzhi, he shot Lu Chengzhi with a Bingpo Divine Needle after breaking the platinum robe. Fortunately, Duan Yuntao and the other two fought to the death to protect each other. While Hu Da blocked Leng Ningyu with his sword alone, Gu Yuanba opened the way and Duan Yuntao covered the rear, and then escorted Lu Chengzhi out of the formation.
Duan Yuntao and the other two were furious at being attacked by Leng Ningyu, but when they entered the formation again, Leng Ningyu had already disappeared. In desperation, the three had to withdraw from the Five Elements Reversal Formation and help Lu Chengzhi get rid of the cold poison.
Fortunately, although the platinum robe was pierced, it was a top-level defensive magic weapon after all. Before Lu Chengzhi was hit by the Ice Soul Divine Needle, he activated the golden gilt array defense that came with the platinum robe. The Ice Soul Divine Needle did not penetrate deeply. In addition, although Duan Yuntao's cultivation has not improved much over the years, he has quite a lot of experience in dealing with Leng Ningyu's cold poison. Under the smelting of the three Jindan masters, the cold poison of the Ice Soul Divine Needle was completely gone after just one night.
It was also on this night that Leng Ningyu gave Xiao Mian and others a series of instructions in the Bibo Cave. Some of the things were even incredible to Xiao Mian and others, but Leng Ningyu's attitude was firm, and it was obviously not a joke, so everyone agreed.
On the third day of Duan Yuntao and others' siege of the Five Elements Gate, Leng Ningyu unexpectedly appeared outside the mountain gate.
"Ling Ningyu, what are you trying to do now!?"
"Gu bastard, how can you talk like that? I'm just looking at the sea of clouds and the sunrise at the gate of my mountain. What's your business? Why are you talking nonsense?" Standing at the edge of the Five Elements Reversal Array, Leng Ningyu was confident and yelling at the three Jindan monks on the opposite side. Duan Yuntao and the other two didn't know Leng Ningyu's background, so they didn't dare to move for a while. At this moment, the whole Five Elements Reversal Array suddenly trembled, and then the five-colored mist rolled and swirled, as if something had happened. Duan Yuntao and the other two wanted to retreat, but Lu Chengzhi seemed to remember something and shouted: "Tie her up! Take the opportunity to break the array!"
The three Jindan monks were stunned when they heard this, and then they were quite indignant. The three of them were all Jindan masters. When was it Lu Chengzhi's turn to shout and yell?
However, after thinking about Lu Chengzhi's words carefully, the three people's faces changed slightly. When they saw Leng Ningyu glaring at Lu Chengzhi with a sullen face, the three people knew that something had changed. In all likelihood, this was the time for the three of them to break the formation. At that moment, Hu Da, the sword cultivator with the highest cultivation, let out a long roar and rushed towards Leng Ningyu, who was about to retreat into the formation, and entangled him so that he could not retreat. Duan Yuntao and Gu Yuanba looked at each other and rushed into the formation tacitly.
Judging from the abnormal behavior of Lu Chengzhi and Leng Ningyu, there seemed to be something wrong with the Five Elements Reversal Formation. Moreover, considering the time, Wan Tianyun was about to reach the Five Elements Mountain. If the three of them had not achieved any results by the time he arrived, it would be fine to be looked down upon, but it would be really painful if they did not get any benefits. You know, the three of them should have arrived at the same time as Wan Tianyun, but they arrived one step ahead because they wanted to try to break through the Five Elements Gate first. If they could not get some benefits, how could they be willing?
The Five Elements Reversal Formation, if it is not broken now, when will it be broken?
