Chapter 325: Chapter 322: Troops Guard the Formation? You mp_1

Jiucai nodded, "Teacher is just an educator, probably can’t beat a blacksmith, right?"

Chongba muttered softly, "You’ll know when they fight."

The others nodded in agreement...

As they were talking, the two men suddenly raised their hands and shouted in unison, "Behold the sword!"

"Behold the axe!"

At the same time, a streak of sword light flew out from Wenqu’s sleeve! An arc of axe light swung impressively in front of Master Lu!

The sword and axe lights met in mid-air!

Everyone held their breath and watched intently!

Then they saw both lights suddenly stop, with a Qingfeng Sword and the handle of the Moon-gathering Axe hanging in the void!

Next, they heard both men yelling, "Soldiers!"

Qin Shou’s heart trembled, thinking, "Is this an incantation?"

Then he saw the lights flying back, with one man retracting his hand into his sleeve and the other reaching behind his back!

Qin Shou was puzzled and scratched his head, "What are they doing?"

Jiucai leaned over and said, "I don’t understand, their weapons didn’t even touch..."

Chongba said, "Perhaps, this is the way the mighty fight, not needing weapons to clash, transforming the decayed into the miraculous!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the two men moved again, with Wenqu pulling out a shield from his sleeve! Master Lu swung out a flag, which bore two large characters—Wu De!

Qin Shou knew that Master Lu’s weapons were all themed with the character for ’virtue’, and Wu De was inscribed on his defensive magic treasure. Meaning, his flag and Wenqu’s shield were both defensive gear.

Both objects stopped in mid-air again, and at the same time, each man shouted, "Defend!"

Then seeing what each other was holding, both showed a hint of anger and swiftly retracted their items!

In the next moment, both men pulled out something new; Wenqu had a book with the character "Trap" on it, while Master Lu held another array flag with "Siege" written on it.

The two shouted again, "Formation!"

Watching this, Jiucai said with a baffled face, "What on earth are they doing?"

Chongba shook his head, "I have no idea, Rabbit, do you understand?"

Qin Shou did not speak, squinting his eyes as if deep in thought.

There, Master Lu and Wenqu Star Monarch began to move again, Wenqu Star Monarch, with an angry face, drew out a Qingfeng Sword and shouted, "Soldiers!"

Meanwhile, Master Lu took out a defensive array flag and yelled, "Defend!"

Having said that, Master Lu’s face suddenly burst into endless smiles, and he laughed heartily, "Haha... Die, bookworm! Defense counters soldiers, soldiers break formations, formations trap defense, I win! The usual rule, I choose three of your possessions!"

Wenqu flicked his sleeve with a snort, "Guests from afar should be treated with respect. You won this time! Aren’t they just three items? Help yourself!"

Master Lu curled his lip, "Stubborn as a dead duck. Is it that hard to admit defeat?"

Wenqu turned his head away haughtily, "Pick your items, and then beat it!"

Master Lu asked with a smile, "You really mean that?"

Wenqu snorted twice in response.

Master Lu continued to ask, "Are you sure you won’t regret it?"

Wenqu Star Monarch still ignored him.

Qin Shou watched the two old rascals squabbling like children and couldn’t help but curse inwardly, "Damn it! I thought it would be a masterful exchange, but after all this fuss, it turned out to be just a version of rock-paper-scissors with an array formation! These two old guys actually turned a game into such a spectacle!"

At that moment, Master Lu chuckled and said, "Rabbit, you heard it too, during the great weapon battle, I won three things from the sour old scholar. I don’t want anything else, just share with me three jars of that Heavenly Immortal Brew from the Wine God."

Before Qin Shou could reply, he saw Wenqu Star Monarch, who had been standing proudly with his head held high and back turned, suddenly whirl around and shout, "Heavenly Brew? Rabbit, you have Heavenly Brew?"

Master Lu hurriedly pulled Rabbit to his side, warning, "What are you trying to do, you dead scholar, default on your debts?"

Wenqu’s face flushed with embarrassment, realizing his lapse, but with a red face he insisted, "Stinky Carpenter, take anything you want, but not the Heavenly Brew."

"Not giving it?" Upon hearing this, Master Lu became anxious.

Wenqu seemed to be throwing caution to the wind as he glared back and shouted, "Not giving it! That’s right, not giving it! What can you do about that? It’s not as if you haven’t defaulted before!"

Master Lu retorted angrily, "Was that defaulting? That was... for your own good! The item was too heavy, I was afraid you wouldn’t be able to carry it, so I kept it safe for you!"

Wenqu cursed, "Pah! And you still want to save face?!"

Master Lu pulled Rabbit closer and said, "If you want it, I have two array flags here! I’ll sell them to you at a discount!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou’s expression darkened as he said, "Master, if you have no shame, can you at least not drag me into it?"

Master Lu replied matter-of-factly, "A day as a teacher is a father for life! Rabbit, tell me, is this saying correct or not!"

What could Qin Shou say? He nodded in agreement.

So, with a confident tilt of his head, Master Lu declared, "See, that’s correct! Debts of the father fall upon the son, that is the natural order of things! It’s decided then, the debt I owe him, you will take care of it!"

A hundred thousand grass-mud horses galloped through Qin Shou’s heart as he cursed internally, "What the hell kind of master is this?"

Master Lu continued to address the grim-faced Wenqu, "Dead scholar, I’ve settled our past debts; I’ll pay you what I owe without delay. You just have to ask Rabbit for it. Now, let’s talk about our current situation, I’ll take those three jars of Heavenly Brew now."

Having said that, Master Lu grabbed Rabbit and made to leave.

Clang!

A Longsword flew through the air and with a smack landed in front of Master Lu, "The Rabbit you can take, but leave the wine for me!"

As he spoke, Wenqu Star Monarch had already approached Master Lu, his face stern and his demeanor suggesting that blood might be spilled in an instant.

Master Lu raised an eyebrow and challenged, "What’s this? Are we really going to have a go at it?"

Wenqu stepped forward and declared, "Let’s fight! This is Shushan, with its One Hundred and Eight Thousand Swords and the Learning Sea Array spanning three thousand eons! Do you dare to make a move and see for yourself?"

Upon hearing this, Master Lu’s expression instantly became stiff as he muttered under his breath, "Damn it, I actually forgot about that... What a huge loss I’m facing!"

Qin Shou couldn’t help but laugh seeing this fearless old fellow cower. Could the Formation of Shushan be that formidable?

Thus, Qin Shou asked, "Master, are you chickening out?"

Master Lu grunted, "That One Hundred and Eight Thousand Swords Formation is the manifestation of the combined literary prowess of One Hundred and Eight Thousand scholars of Shushan. With the sword comes a mighty river of valor; its power is not to be underestimated... But your master isn’t afraid of that. A fight results at most in a momentary pain. It’s that Learning Sea Array that’s a real mother of a trap!"

Qin Shou asked curiously, "What makes it such a trap? Is it more formidable than the One Hundred and Eight Thousand Swords Formation?"

Master Lu gave a bitter smile, "That damned thing doesn’t have much in the way of offensive power. But once trapped inside, it’s difficult to get out."

Disbelieving, Qin Shou asked, "How difficult can it be?"

Wenqu responded indifferently, "Not very difficult, as long as you read through three thousand cycles’ worth of books, continuously reciting without rest, and commit it all to memory, the Formation will naturally dissipate."
