Chapter 33: The Power of Formation (Part 2)

  Zi Donglai had seen Wang Guanlan's move when he was in Nanhuacheng, and knew that the sword light that shattered was just an illusion of Wang Guanlan. He was mentally prepared, but Ning Huaizhen was encountering this situation for the first time, and was greatly shocked. His mind was distracted for a moment, and at that moment, the illusion of Wang Guanlan in front of him transformed into a chain of water, wrapping around his body.

  "What?!" The mysterious aspect of the Five Elements Formation was revealed at this moment. Being in the formation, the surrounding heavenly and earthly Yuan Qi could be transformed into the power of the five elements by Wang Guanlan at any time. At this moment, the water element's power filled the top of the stone pillar, and the ever-changing water flow couldn't pierce or break through it. Only Han Fu and Zi Dong were quick-witted and took a step ahead, escaping from the top of the stone pillar, leaving only Ning Huaiyu struggling painfully in the midst of the great water element's Yuan Qi.

  These two people did not succeed in refining their aura, so their figures were only able to borrow the power of the wind to move through the air, unable to stay in one place, and could only unfold their movements by relying on the wind, making them look a bit disheveled.

  This can't go on like this!!

  The two exchanged a glance, and Purple East raised the sword in his hand once again, striking towards the top of the stone pillar. "Don't worry, Brother Ning, I'm here to help you!!" ?? Tyrant Heaven Martial Saint 33

  The long sword flashed with dazzling purple light, fiercely slashing onto the water-elemental force surrounding the stone pillar, splitting it in two. The sword energy even cut off the water chains binding Ning Huaiyu's body.

  "Thank you, Brother Zi!!" Ning Huaiyu was a proud person, but he wasn't ungrateful. Seeing Zi Dong come to his rescue, his face immediately showed gratitude.

  "Everyone works together, no need to thank each other!" Zidong came with a warm smile, holding his sword to protect himself, and landed on the stone pillar. He shouted loudly, "Fourteenth Master, why don't you come out and fight us openly? What's the point of winning by hiding?"

  "Idiot!" was the response, accompanied by a mocking curse. "If you want to fight fairly and squarely, why don't you go find Jun Sheng? I'm sure he'll make you feel like you're in heaven. What are you doing coming to me, an array master?"

  Zi Dong's face turned bright red with a single sentence, he was originally a young martial artist who valued demeanor. But in front of Wang Guanlan, no matter what, he couldn't muster up any dignity.

  The valley was filled with loud laughter, and even Wang Bizheng couldn't help but laugh bitterly. Wang Guanlan, who had grown up in the Ning King's mansion and was well-read in poetry and books, had even passed the imperial examination to become a scholar-official, yet the words he spoke were so coarse and vulgar that it was truly embarrassing.

  "The Fourteenth Young Master is about to show off his eloquence!" Han Fu also broke open the water vein on top of the stone pillar, "Come and receive my next move!!" As he spoke, the white jade fan in his hand flapped fiercely.

  Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!!

  This time, what he fanned out was no longer a tornado, but bolts of blue lightning.

  The thunderous sound shook the air, striking the stone pillar. In an instant, it dispersed the Water-Elemental Force on the stone pillar, causing the pillar to shake violently. At the same time, Ning Huaiyu also let out a furious roar and thrust his long sword into the stone pillar with great force.

  Pfft!!

  The sharp sword plunged into the stone pillar, leaving only the hilt behind. However, his body suddenly swelled up, as if inflated by air, and in one breath, he grew into a giant three zhang tall. The giant's entire body was covered in bulging muscles, each block resembling steel castings, exuding an overwhelming aura.

  "Golden Great Strength Divine Ability!!" Seeing Ning Huaiyu's transformation, everyone's face turned strange, and King Ning Wang Bi Cheng raised an eyebrow.

  "Not bad, it's the Buddhist sect's Vajra Mahayana divine power. Who would have thought that Ning Huaiyu is actually a secret disciple of the Buddhist sect?! The Vajra Mahayana divine power is also a protective deity of the Buddhist sect, but Ning Huaiyu is so young, it's impossible for him to have achieved enlightenment on his own. So there are only two possibilities: one is sudden enlightenment, and the other is that he is a secret disciple of the Buddhist sect. In the eyes of the world, sudden enlightenment is like a legend, and those who achieve sudden enlightenment have a special characteristic - they can instantly comprehend all the mysteries of the divine power, not like Ning Huaiyu, who seems to have only learned it but cannot master it. That's why his body was distorted by the powerful force. If he had truly comprehended this divine power, his physical form would not have changed. This way, his identity is clear - he is a secret disciple of the Buddhist sect."

  As soon as the Golden Mighty Divine Technique was unleashed, Ning Huaiyu's power suddenly surged, and the means he employed also became extremely violent. He saw him clench his fists, raise them high, and smash them down like an iron hammer towards the hilt of the long sword that had just been inserted into the stone pillar.

  "Open it for me!!" Along with his angry roar, the long sword was fiercely thrust into the stone pillar, and a violent sword energy was actually blasted out of the sword by this punch. With a single sound of the long sword, the stone pillar was cut in two.

  "Fourteenth Young Master, come out for me!!"

  At this time, the white jade fan in Han Fu's hand had already formed a lightning bolt, and clusters of deep blue thunderballs smashed onto the already cracked stone pillars, blasting them into flying debris.

  "It's interesting, they seem to have confirmed that this stone pillar is the key to the Five Elements Formation. What's going on?!" - Ba Tian Wu Sheng 33

  Seeing the movements of the three, the crowd was again in a state of astonishment. Their opponent was Wang Guanlan, but not this stone pillar that carried his shadow, so why were they fighting with all their might against this stone pillar?

  "There is the earth eye of the Five Elements Formation, they want to break through this earth eye and affect Wang Guanlan's control over the Five Elements Formation, and find out where Wang Guanlan is through this earth eye!" Fengjiu furrowed her brow, seemingly seeing through Hanfu and his men's motives, "But how did Hanfu know about it, does he also understand formation techniques?!"

  "It's not Han Fu who understands the formation, but Zhu Zhihua who understands the formation!" The face of King Ning looked somewhat gloomy, his eyes scanning over Zhu Zhihua's calm face. He knew that Zhu Zhihua had been to Fengming Valley and also knew that Zhu Zhihua understood formations, only he hadn't expected Zhu Zhihua's attainment in formations to be so deep. With just a glance at the terrain in the valley, he roughly figured out where the five elements formation was set up and where the eyes of the formation were located.

  "What's the point of attacking the stone pillar? Do you really think that's where the earth eye is? Do you think the five-element formation I set up is the same as the one outside?" Just then, Wang Guanlan's voice came from all directions, "Alright, since you want to attack the stone pillar, I'll help you out and save you the trouble!" As he spoke, the ground under the stone pillar suddenly split open. The stone pillar, along with Ning Huaizhong's long sword that was used to chop it down, fell into the crack in the ground. Fortunately, Han Fu and the others reacted quickly and didn't get swallowed up, but the situation wasn't much better off.

  The stone pillar had thoroughly disappeared, and the crack closed again. The ground was flat without any unusual signs, but their challenge object had vanished for a while. Five people stood in the field, all looking somewhat at a loss.

  On the stage, Zhu Zhihua's face flashed a hint of cyan gas. He had come to Fengming Valley specifically to find Wang Guanlan, in order to get a clear view of the valley's terrain and the flow of its vital energy. With his own profound knowledge of array techniques, he wanted to deduce the weaknesses of Wang Guanlan's Five Elements Array. In his eyes, even if Wang Guanlan's skills were extremely high, they couldn't surpass his own, unless Wang Guanlan understood some array diagram that he didn't know about. However, the way of arrays is extremely strict, and every complete array diagram is combined with the terrain of the place where it is laid out. Although Fengming Valley had been developed for a long time, no array masters had ever visited, so naturally there wouldn't be any complete array diagrams here. Wang Guanlan's Five Elements Array could only rely on his own temporary inspiration. As long as Wang Guanlan's skills were below his own, he would be able to instruct Han Fu and others on how to break the array. For this reason, he had even taken Fengming Valley as a model and drawn out an array diagram to guide Han Fu and others. This was why Han Fu and others' initial attack was extremely targeted.

  But the fact was completely beyond his expectation, out of his control. The formation set up by Wang Guanlan had exceeded his ability range, making the formation diagram he had previously inferred completely useless, and Han Fu and others were also forced into a passive position.

  "Damn it, could he really be a once-in-a-thousand-years array mastermind, to have pushed his array skills to such depths in such a short time?!" Zhu Zhihua's heart was filled with astonishment, and he also began to regret his decision. If Wang Guanlan were truly a once-in-a-thousand-years array genius, then the engagement between him and Qingling might not be a bad thing after all.

  Thinking of this, the determination that had been made was shaken a bit. He glanced at Han Fu and others in the field who were at a loss, and the white jade token in his right hand was tightly clenched.

  "Brother Zhu, are you not feeling well? I see that your complexion is a bit off!" Wang Bizheng's heart slightly eased at this moment, and he looked at Zhu Zhihua with concern. "Is it because of last night's practice? Do you need to take a break?"

  "You're the one who's messed up!" Zhu Zhihua cursed in his heart, forcing out a smile. "Nothing, I'm just surprised that the 14th young master has such a good grasp of array techniques. He's only been practicing for a short time, yet he can set up such an exquisite five-element array. It's really astonishing!!"

  "Haha, I'm also very surprised! I didn't expect this kid to have such talent. If he had been trained earlier, who knows, maybe he would already be on the Profound Abyss rankings!"

  " Abyssal Ranking? Haha, I think after today, Guanlan will definitely have a place on the Abyssal Ranking!"

  "What's going on?!" Wang Bizheng raised an eyebrow, showing a questioning expression.

  "Do you still need to ask? Once Guanlan settles the following few guys, it's likely that the figures on the Profound Abyss Chart will appear. As long as he can't break through the formation, his position on the Profound Abyss Chart will be replaced by Guanlan!!"

  "You're right, you're absolutely right!!" Wang Bizheng burst out laughing.

  Two people on this stage responded hypocritically, but Wang Guanlan's counterattack had already begun. On the ground, at some point, many green vines suddenly emerged, these green vines seemed to have a life of their own, and as soon as they appeared, they entwined Han Fu and others.

  "Bastard!" Han Fu and the others' faces turned extremely ugly, this was also underestimating people too much, could a little bit of wisteria vine really be able to take down these martial arts masters who had cultivated their qi for seven layers?

  "Go to death!!" Without waiting for others to make a move, the white jade fan in Han Fu's hand once again fanned out an evil wind. Wherever the evil wind passed, these green vines that emerged from the ground withered and died.

  "Wang Guanlan, you bastard, get out here!!" Although they had solved the problem of the vines, none of them relaxed, and Ning Huaiyu still maintained his Golden Giant Divine Power appearance, shouting fiercely.

  "Brother Ning, this is useless!" Han Fu's face flashed with a hint of unusual color as he walked to his side, "We should make up our minds now!"

  As they spoke, a Lingzhu appeared in his hand. (Chapter 33 of The Supreme Warrior)
