Chapter 34: Breaking Formations with Formations

  "Good kid, looking for death!" Although the Dark Ghost Scattered Person was startled, he quickly calmed down and saw that the Xuan Tie Sword was about to pierce his body. He turned his body and narrowly avoided the fatal blow.

  Pffft! The Xuan Tie Sword still managed to pierce his shoulder.

  Fang Li was slightly disappointed that his sneak attack still didn't manage to kill with one blow, this Dark Ghost Wanderer really had some skills.

  "You detestable creature, I'll trap your soul in the Five Ghosts' Copper Ring and make you never reincarnate!" The pain on his shoulder drove Yin Gui San Ren mad, he kicked with all his might, immediately creating distance between himself and Fang Li, while taking out the Five Ghosts' Copper Ring to counterattack.

  Mo Bai and the other two felt a pang in their hearts. Although Fang Lei was a cultivator of the sixth realm, which surprised them, this sneak attack had failed, and it was now impossible to kill Yin Gui San Ren. As long as Yin Gui San Ren took out the Five Ghosts Copper Ring, even a seventh-realm cultivator would be unable to resist.

  Fang Li, however, didn't look that serious, but instead gazed at the Yīn Guǐ Sǎn Rén with a light expression, allowing him to take out the copper ring. If one looked closely, they could still detect a hint of playful teasing in Fang Li's eyes.

  "Haha, kid, you're the only one who's managed to hurt me this year. Even Du Ren Shan, the so-called 'Thunderbolt Hand', couldn't do it a month ago. You should feel honored, but unfortunately, that's where it ends."

  Yin Gui San Ren burst out laughing, every time he grasped the Wu Gui Tong Huan, he felt like the master of the world, even when facing a high-ranking cultivator with seven layers of Qi refinement, he still had confidence, let alone Fang Li who was only at the six-layered Qi refinement realm.

  "It's all over!" Mo Bai and the others silently closed their eyes, having just ignited a glimmer of hope only to fall back into despair once again. The dark ghost who had taken out the Five Ghosts Copper Ring was absolutely not someone Fang Li could withstand; at this point, it wasn't even possible for him to save them, let alone his own life.

  Fang Li's expression didn't change, and he quietly watched the laughing Hei Gui San Ren. Suddenly, he opened his mouth to ask: "Obviously, both of us are only at the sixth level of Qi Refining, but you can kill a seventh-level Qi Refining expert with just a copper ring. I'm very curious, where did you get this copper ring?"

  It has been confirmed that this copper ring was made by a high-ranking array master. Since the Ghostly Wanderer obtained this copper ring, did he also obtain some other items left behind by the array master? These things may be useless to others, but to Fang Li, they are all priceless treasures.

  The yin ghost's eyebrows furrowed, seeing Fang Li's calm demeanor, a bad premonition arose in his heart. He looked around several times, and after confirming that there was no one else nearby, he finally felt somewhat at ease. However, towards Fang Li, the yin ghost's disgust grew even stronger. Clearly already a sheep waiting to be slaughtered, yet still putting on an air of composure - this made the yin ghost very displeased.

  "Ha! What's the point of asking so many questions? You're already a dead man, knowing more won't do you any good."

  After finishing, the Yin Ghost Scattered Person's true energy circulated and immediately activated the five ghost mountain array in the copper ring. Five gray shadows flew out one after another, all rushing towards Fang Li. This little guy in front of him had never shown a frightened expression, which made the Yin Ghost Scattered Person extremely unhappy. In his agitated mood, he decided to cripple him first and then slowly torture him to prevent any unexpected changes.

  The five gray shadows were vague and existed between reality and illusion. The reason they could still retain their pre-mortem cultivation was entirely due to the Five Ghosts Moving Mountain Formation. However, what was retained was only their cultivation, without any wisdom. When fighting against humans, it was completely reliant on combat instincts, and their combat strength compared to when they were alive still had a huge gap.

  Fang Li's expression remained calm as he gazed at Yin Gui San Ren with a hint of mockery, but he completely ignored the five gray shadows.

  Just as the five gray shadows were about to attack Fang Li, Yin Gui San Ren burst out laughing, "Dare to oppose me, Yin Gui San Ren? Don't think you can live on, next life you should open your eyes brighter, don't provoke me again, haha, but it seems you won't have a next life. My five children need to devour pure souls to grow, you can only become their nutrient."

  "It's you who will become the fertilizer, not me." Fang Li smiled lightly, and as he looked at the five gray shadows closing in on him, the Winding Grass Formation inside his body suddenly activated, and a massive aura burst forth.

  It's strange to say, but these five gray shadows with sharp teeth and claws were suddenly frozen in place by this powerful aura, as if they had been paused, like wooden puppets whose strings had been cut, no longer being manipulated.

  The yin ghost was still laughing loudly, but suddenly seeing this scene, he was like being choked by someone, his voice stopped abruptly, and his eyes were wide with incredulity. Just in that instant, the connection between him and those five ghosts was suddenly cut off, which made him terrified and unaware of what had happened.

  He didn't know, after all, he wasn't a formation master. Fang Li's playful smile, those five soul spirits were indeed powerful, but they couldn't hide the fact that they came from the Five Ghosts Moving Mountain Formation. The reason they could be controlled by people was because there existed an invisible connection between them and the formation, this connection being "momentum", or more accurately, "formation momentum".

  Every formation has its own "power". If Yin Gui San Ren is a formation master, then he naturally understands how to solidify the connection with the five ghostly souls. Unfortunately, he isn't. Moreover, he also ran into Fang Li. A person who doesn't understand formations at all wants to use formations to deal with a formation master, this is undoubtedly a foolish move.

  Long before jumping out, Fang Li had already thought of a way to deal with the Yin Ghost Scattered People. As long as the Yin Ghost Scattered People dared to activate the formation in the Five Ghosts Copper Ring, he would then operate the Teng Grass Trap Formation within his body, using the "momentum" of the Teng Grass Trap Formation to disperse the "momentum" of the Five Ghosts Moving Mountain Formation, achieving the effect of breaking a formation with another formation.

  If the Yin Ghost Scattered People also understood array methods, Fang Li would not have dared to be so reckless. After all, the Teng Grass Confusion Array was only a first-rate array method, while the Five Ghosts Moving Mountain Array was a fifth-rate array method. However, there were no such ifs in this world. This round of confrontation ended with Fang Li emerging victorious.

  "No... this can't be!" The Yin Ghost Scattered Person's mind was instantly thrown into chaos, the copper ring that he had always relied on suddenly losing its effect. The blow to him was not ordinary. Until now, he still didn't know why the Five Ghosts Copper Ring had lost its effect.

  Fang Li did not intend to give him an explanation, taking advantage of his dazed state, he suddenly pounced forward, the Xuan Tie sword fiercely stabbing towards his throat.

  Just as the Xuan Tie sword was about to reach his face, Yin Gui San Ren finally came to his senses, and suddenly let out a loud cry, wanting to dodge, but it was already too late.

  "It's too late now!" Fang Li's face was calm and indifferent, ignoring the terrified gaze of Gui Sanren, as the Xuan Tie sword pierced directly into his throat.

  A long sword pierced the flesh, and a sound came. The Yin Ghost Scattered Person only felt a pain in his throat, wanting to shout, but could only make a "gagging" sound. As if sensing that his life force was rapidly draining away, the Yin Ghost Scattered Person gave up struggling, his eyes fixed on Fang Li with a venomous glare, as if silently cursing him.

  Fang Li snorted, unmoved, and said calmly: "Your venomous gaze reminds me of those monks you slaughtered. How does it feel to be on the verge of death?"

  Pffft, the dark ghost spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and immediately his head lolled to one side, collapsing to the ground, his life force extinguished.

  Fang Li coldly gazed at the corpse on the ground and calmly said, "Remember, never show off your array techniques in front of an Array Master again in your next life."
