Chapter 635: One Man Kills Two Thousand
In the mine tunnel, Si Nan stood alone in front of Lu Ye. The light curtain of the protective array formed a solid barrier, isolating Lu Ye's murderous intent and bringing a rare sense of security to Song Zhui and others.
Lu Ye looked at the protective light curtain in front of him, his expression still calm.
The protective strength of the light curtain formed by the hastily arranged protective array is not too high. After all, it has not accumulated enough spiritual power. The longer the protective array is arranged, the more spiritual power is accumulated, and the greater the protective strength.
Moreover, the range covered by this protective array is too small, and the natural upper limit will not be too strong.
However, the array is presided over by Si Nan, and it is not easy for Lu Ye to break the array by force, and his current state is not suitable for breaking the array by force.
But Lu Ye never relies on brute force to break the array.
There is a glimmer of light in his eyes, insight into the blessing of the spiritual pattern, and observe the nodes and flaws of the array in front of him.
The scene in the field of vision changed, and the traces of colorful spiritual power flow were clearly visible. The protective light curtain, which looked smooth as a mirror to the naked eye, had imperceptible flaws under the eyes blessed by the insight of spiritual patterns.
It must be said that this guy named Si Nan had a high attainment in the art of formation. Lu Ye had not met any decent formation cultivator so far, and this Si Nan was definitely one of them.
Just at this time, Si Nan said: "I have heard that fellow Daoist Lu has a very high attainment in the art of formation, but the formation arranged by fellow Daoist seems to be just that. I have cracked fellow Daoist's formation. Can fellow Daoist break my formation?"
Although he had never fought directly with Lu Ye, for formation cultivators, setting up and breaking formations was already a fight.
He had cracked so many explosive formations of Lu Ye in the mine tunnel before, and in the end, he even "forced" Lu Ye to activate those many formations in advance. From his point of view, Lu Ye's attainment in the art of formation was probably not as good as his, which was why he dared to block here.
Because he was confident that he could stop Lu Ye with his own protective array.
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ye raised his hand and threw out an array flag.
The array flag flew out and was embedded in the protective light curtain with great precision.
Si Nan looked at this scene in astonishment, because he felt clearly that the position where the array flag was embedded was exactly the node of his protective light curtain, and the protective power at this position was the weakest, which could also be said to be the weakness of the entire large array light curtain.
Others did not know the nodes of the array, but as the person who arranged and presided over the array, how could he not know?
For arrays formed by light curtains such as protective arrays or trapped arrays, using nodes to break the array is the most effective means, but even for array cultivators with high attainments in arrays, it is not so easy to find a node of the array. This requires direct contact with the array light curtain, and slowly exploring and searching, and finally it is possible to find it.
And it is only possible, and it may be that the node found is wrong.
Especially now that he was in charge of the formation, he could change the speed of the spiritual power flowing on the light curtain with a thought, and use it to cover up the location of the node.
Is it a coincidence?
Otherwise, how could it be so accurate.
With a thought, he instinctively controlled the formation, and the speed of the spiritual power flowing on the light curtain suddenly increased several times. In this way, the location of the nodes of the formation was also changing rapidly.
Another formation flag flew out and was embedded in another node of the formation again.
Then came the third, the fourth...
Si Nan's eyes bulged, and he looked like he had seen a ghost in broad daylight, and he cried out in shock: "Impossible!"
At this point, he finally realized that the scene just now was not a coincidence... If it was a coincidence once, could it be a coincidence twice, three, and four times?
Lu Yiye could actually see the location of the nodes of the formation? But how could he, a fifth-level Yunhe realm, have such an outrageous ability?
What he saw before him was beyond his cognition.
At this moment, he finally realized that something was wrong. No matter whether Lu Ye's level in setting up the formation was not as good as his, at least in terms of breaking the formation, he could never compare.
It was ridiculous that just a few breaths ago, he thought that with his own defense formation, it must be impregnable.
Four formation flags were embedded in the nodes of the formation. Lu Ye took a step forward and raised his hand to press on the light curtain of the formation. The spiritual power surged around him. With the palm touch point as the center, the fiery red spiritual power flowed out. Under his exquisite control, tiny yin and yang binary elements spread rapidly.
Si Nan's expression was horrified, because with the spread of the yin and yang binary elements, the spiritual power flow on the light curtain of the formation became more and more stagnant, which gave him a huge resistance to prevent him from controlling the formation.
Si Nan gritted his teeth, waved the formation flag in his hand, and at the same time urged the spiritual power to control the formation to compete with Lu Ye.
However, in just five breaths, the spiritual power on the light curtain of the formation almost stopped flowing. The formation without spiritual power was like a pool of stagnant water, and could no longer play any role.
Lu Ye pressed his big hand on the light curtain and exerted force.
With a loud noise, the light curtain of the formation broke apart. His expression became lost at this moment, as if his mind was broken along with the light curtain of the formation.
When the bright knife light flashed, Lu Ye had passed Si Nan, holding the blood-stained long knife, and approached the mine tunnel step by step.
The sound of Si Nan's body falling to the ground came from behind.
He was an eighth-level cultivator, his physique was not strong, and he was more seriously eroded by the poison than other eighth-level cultivators. After the formation he relied on could not play a role, he could only face death in front of Lu Ye.
He fell to the ground, his eyes wide open, and he died with his eyes wide open. It seemed that he could not believe until the end that the formation he had arranged was so vulnerable and could be broken so easily. In the last moments of his life, he had great doubts about his attainments in the art of formation...
He was overthinking.
In terms of attainments in the art of formation, Lu Ye was indeed better than him, but if he broke the formation step by step, it would not be so easy.
But Lu Ye broke the formation with the help of the insight spirit pattern.
There are not too few spirit pattern masters in the world who can construct the insight spirit pattern, but there is only Lu Ye in the world who dares to bless the insight spirit pattern on his eyes.
Because even the most experienced spirit pattern masters dare not guarantee that the spirit pattern they construct will definitely succeed. Eyes are the weakness of cultivators. Even for physical cultivators who are known for their strong physique, their eyes are extremely fragile.
It is a good thing to bless the eyes with the insight spirit pattern, but if it fails, it will inevitably cause some indelible damage to the eyes.
Therefore, from ancient times to now, no spiritual pattern master dared to do this.
Lu Ye dared because the insight spiritual pattern is attached to the talent tree, and there is no possibility of failure in constructing it. The spiritual pattern will be formed as soon as the mind moves.
Deep in the mine tunnel, Song Zhui and others who had just felt a little safe felt cold all over.
Just a few breaths ago, Si Nan still boasted, saying something like "My formation, can you break it?" In the blink of an eye, the formation was broken and the people were killed...
Under great fear, the surviving monks of Wanmo Ridge couldn't help but laugh, laughing at Si Nan's arrogance.
It felt like an ant blocking an elephant and asking the elephant if you can step on me to death? As a result, the elephant stepped on it and the ant died.
"Lu Yiye!" Song Zhui gritted his teeth and shouted, "You are really a disaster!"
More than 2,000 people, in two hours, only a few dozen of them were left, and they were facing only one enemy! Even Si Nan's protective formation couldn't stop him for a moment.
One man slaughtered two thousand people. Looking at the cultivation world of Jiuzhou, such a thing has never happened, let alone heard of, and dared not even think about it.
But today, such a thing happened right under his nose.
Song Zhui only hated Ying Wuji for being incompetent!
If Ying Wuji had been careful enough and not discovered in advance in Huitian Valley before, he might have been able to kill Lu Yiye, and there would not have been any subsequent troubles.
Now, in an action to besiege Lu Yiye, countless monks from Wanmo Ridge died, but Lu Yiye was still alive and well.
"Fellow Taoists!" Song Zhui raised his arms and shouted, "We have no way out. If you want to live, follow me to kill this beast!"
He did not say anything to seduce people, because it was meaningless. In this situation, they had no way to retreat, and only one of them could survive between them and Lu Ye.
Although they were all poisoned and their strength was greatly reduced, they were still in number, and the concentration of the poisonous fog had decreased, so it was not as dark as before, so... there might not be no chance.
When he finished speaking, Song Zhui was the first to rush up. It was not because he was fearless, but he was the strongest among the people present. If he did not set an example, the situation would only get worse.
Only if he took action first, others would have the confidence to fight against Lu Ye.
But soon, with a muffled groan, Song Zhui was chopped and flew out, and blood flew in the air.
He was shocked that he could not even take Lu Ye's sword. You know, even if he was poisoned, he could still exert strength comparable to the sixth level. Lu Ye was only a fifth level, and he looked like he was about to run out of energy. How could he still burst out with such a powerful strength?
The narrowness of the mine tunnel limited the performance of the monks in Wanmo Ridge. There were only three or four people who could besiege Lu Ye at the same time.
Lu Ye walked forward step by step, and the Panshan Sword continued to cut out fiery red sword light.
Screams and exclamations were heard from time to time, and wherever they passed, corpses fell in pools of blood.
In just a cup of tea, only a few people were left of the dozens of people who resisted stubbornly. Even these few people were injured and looked desperate.
The weapon box on the waist hummed, nine streams of light flew, and accompanied by a muffled groan, the few monks who were still struggling fell to the ground.
Only Song Zhui still had a chance of survival, but his injuries were not light. The two previous attacks on Lu Ye were both chopped away by Lu Ye. The huge cut on his chest, vaguely visible beating heart, at this moment he leaned against the wall of the cave, looking at Lu Ye who was walking towards him step by step with despair.
