Chapter 599 - 599 0395 Breaking the Formation_2

Chapter 599: Chapter 0395: Breaking the Formation_2 Chapter 599: Chapter 0395: Breaking the Formation_2 Qi Tian shook his head. It’s not easy to invite an Array Master from Wanjie City. Firstly, good array masters are hard to find. Secondly, they were expensive. Moreover, the circle of array masters was small, they may even know each other. If he invited someone with a hefty price, only to find out later that this person is in cahoots with the array Master in Wangdu County, he won’t even have the chance to cry.

At this time, Qi Tian could only trust himself. After pondering, he decided that only by personally taking action could he possibly resolve the crisis in a short time.

However, when Qi Tian said he would personally go, both Deng Chuanliang and Gao Jinmei were doing their best to dissuade him. Wangdu County is a dangerous place right now, even they wouldn’t fare well there, let alone Qi Tian.

But the persuasion of Deng Chuanliang and Gao Jinmei didn’t work.

Qi Tian asked them to stay back and protect the five hundred thousand strong army led by Marquis Ma. Then, he flew towards Wangdu County on a crane statue. And soon he arrived at Wangdu County.

From afar, Qi Tian felt that something was amiss. Wangdu County is a mountainous region, so seeing mountains everywhere should be a normal thing, but now, the entire Wangdu County is shrouded by a hand-can’t-see-five-fingers fog. The fog didn’t disperse even when it was near the county, severely obstructing the view.

Qi Tian directed the crane statue to fly into Wangdu County, because he did not know what formed this lingering heavy fog.

Qi Tian activated the Spirit Qi detection of the Heavenly Dao Engine and, through the thick fog, began to scan the entire Wangdu County. Soon, Qi Tian received a 3D image from the Heavenly Dao Engine’s feedback.

Through these images, Qi Tian clearly knew the situation of Wangdu County under the fog.

The intelligence Qi Tian received showed that the National Master Manor and the Guardian National Master Manor jointly dispatched two or three thousand cultivators. Now, they have entered Wangdu County, and along with the mountains and earth veins of the county, they formed a large formation. Most of the dispatched cultivators from both manors are acting as nodes to control the formation. Without them, the large formation in Wangdu County couldn’t be perfectly deployed, and it wouldn’t be possible to stop Qi Tian and the others.

Besides, Qi Tian also found out that the formation of Wangdu County was a complex one and not evenly distributed. Some areas had more, while some had less, according to the specific situation of Wangdu County. If the formation were evenly distributed, two Manor houses would have been unable to mobilize so many people and there would not have been enough resources. To set up this formation, both Manor houses had invested extensively in manpower and money, nearly emptying both Manor houses.

With the Heavenly Dao Engine, all the secrets of the formation in Wangdu County by the two Manor houses, shielded by the heavy fog, were exposed before Qi Tian.

Qi Tian smiled coldly. He originally thought that this formation would be more formidable, but it appears otherwise. Even for someone like himself who doesn’t understand formations well, just a little effort and energy could break this large formation. However, it would take a long time for Qi Tian to break the formation on his own.

Naturally, Qi Tian would choose the easiest way for him. If he wanted to break the formation, the easiest way would be to use the Locust Thief Bees. However, as Gao Jinmei mentioned, breaking a formation spread over an entire county would require a massive amount of Locust Thief Bees. Qi Tian had collected tens of thousands of Locust Thief Bees from a nest during his adventure in the secret realm, and he wouldn’t have to worry about their numbers. However, if he released so many of them, the consequences would be severe. Qi Tian couldn’t assure that all the bees released could be recaptured. If even one of them ended up outside, it could potentially cause a disaster of Spirit Qi. That could turn Wangdu County and its surrounding regions into deserted areas, something Qi Tian did not want to bear responsibility for.

Another way would be to utilize the Heavenly Dao Engine. This massive array was presided over by a large number of cultivators, but it did not mean that it needed no energy to support it. When Qi Tian scanned with the Heavenly Dao Engine, he discovered a large amount of spirit stones and Spirit Qi-filled natural treasures and artifacts without any guards around. If he used the Transporting Whirlwind of the Heavenly Dao Engine to take away these spirit stones and natural treasures, he could easily break the array.

However, doing so posed the risk of exposing the Heavenly Dao Engine. Although the possibility was small, it was still there. Qi Tian did not want to take this risk. He was not without other methods besides the Locust Thief Bees and the Heavenly Dao Engine.

Qi Tian chose the third method. He returned to his own array and found Deng Chuanliang and the woman in the black robe. He asked Wang Xiuwu and Xu Jifa to guard the military camp to ensure the security of their troops, while he returned to the sky above Wangdu County with Deng Chuanliang and Gao Jinmei.

Qi Tian pointed out the weaknesses of the array in Wangdu County one by one, then instructed Deng Chuanliang and Gao Jinmei to rush to these weak points and attack or destroy them.

Deng Chuanliang and Gao Jinmei were both very powerful. The only reason they suffered the first time they entered the array was that the dense fog not only blocked their vision but also their other senses, even hindering the use of the Divine Sense. This was equivalent to them being blind and deaf, it was no wonder they were at a disadvantage.

But this time it was different. Even though they still couldn’t see or hear, they had Qi Tian’s command. They didn’t need to discern the real from the fake in their surroundings, they just had to attack according to Qi Tian’s guidance.

Deng Chuanliang and Gao Jinmei were both itching for a fight. Under Qi Tian’s command, they went all out and didn’t hold back in their attacks. The terrifying attacks of the two Gold Core powerhouses quickly caused the Wangdu County array to reveal its flaws.

Qi Tian did not stop there but continued to direct Deng Chuanliang and Gao Jinmei to clear other parts of the array, even if those places were not on the path of the army.

The reason Qi Tian did this was to obliterate all the cultivators who had set up the array in Wangdu County, regardless of whether they were from the National Master Manor, Guardian National Master Manor, or from Wanjie City. As long as they participated in today’s array setup, they were all given a reason to die.

The two National Master Manors didn’t expect their laboriously built array to be so brittle in front of Qi Tian. Not only was it so easily broken, but Qi Tian even led two terrifying Gold Core powerhouses to chase and kill them, intending to wipe them out completely.

Disciples from both National Master Manors, along with the Array Masters that Gao Jinmei had spent a lot of money hiring, fled in all directions. At this point, if they continued to stay in Wangdu County, they were simply offering up their lives.

However, not everyone managed to escape. At least the Mansion Master of the Great Zhao Nation, Sun Xingbiao, did not leave. He was the second Gold Core powerhouse from the National Master Manor and the first of his generation to break through to the Gold Core stage. Many people, including Emperor Tian Rui, had high hopes for him, but he never thought that he would end up utterly defeated today.

Of course, Qi Tian’s humiliation was not the only reason why Sun Xingbiao didn’t leave. It wasn’t that he wanted to protect his honor and dignity, or to teach Qi Tian a lesson. Rather, there was a reason he could not avoid.
