Chapter 420: 420
Lu Xiuying was furious.
"How dare you speak to me like that!"
At this moment, the Grandmaster of Triple Flowers spoke up:
"The power of the Five Elements Illusionary Extinguishing Formation will reach its peak strength soon, and I can suppress it for a maximum of five minutes. Any longer than five minutes, and we’ll all die here."
"Does team leader Lu want everyone else to be buried with you?"
"I..." Lu Xiuying’s face showed struggle.
Hang Xiangbei tried to persuade:
"Team leader, we must hurry and leave; if we stay any longer, our entire force will meet its end."
"Alright," Lu Xiuying said with difficulty.
After all, she was the team leader and had to be responsible for everyone.
"Momo, let’s go."
Lu Xiuying, holding Momo’s hand, said.
Momo shook her head.
"I won’t leave. I’m waiting for him to come back."
"He will definitely return."
"Momo..."
Lu Xiuying grew anxious.
Just then, the Grandmaster of Triple Flowers roared not far away.
"I’ve opened an exit passage from the formation, move quickly."
Having said this, the Grandmaster of Triple Flowers dashed out first.
Li Qinghu, Fang Xuanlong, and Qiu Yong closely followed.
"Everyone, keep up!"
Lu Xiuying shouted loudly.
The other team members immediately rushed out as well.
"Momo, let’s go..."
Lu Xiuying shouted, but Momo was very determined.
In a moment of desperation, Lu Xiuying struck Momo on the back of her head, knocking her out cold.
Lu Xiuying carried Momo and charged into the escape passage.
...
Within the Five Elements Illusionary Extinguishing Formation.
The fivefold assault had fully erupted.
Zhou Yu had pushed the Golden Cauldron Technique to its strongest state; patterns of the Golden Cauldron appeared on his skin, and his entire being was enveloped by a golden cauldron phantom.
This golden cauldron phantom blocked all the fivefold attacks of the Five Elements Illusionary Extinguishing Formation.
Behind Zhou Yu were Han Youwang and Li Mingdan.
Their bodies were bloodstained, and they had suffered severe injuries.
Looking at the terrifying onslaught outside the Golden Cauldron Phantom, Han Youwang’s face was filled with bitterness.
"Young brother Zhou, we will never forget the grace of being saved by you."
"However, the assault from the Five Elements Illusionary Extinguishing Formation is too horrifying; I’m afraid we won’t make it out. You should leave quickly; we can’t drag you down with us."
"That’s right,"
Li Mingdan also spoke up.
"From the day we joined the Martial Arts Pavilion, we were prepared to face death."
"Our worthless lives don’t matter if lost, but you have a great future ahead; there’s no need for you to take risks for us."
"Otherwise, we would never forgive ourselves if we died."
Zhou Yu smiled slightly.
"No need for self-reproach, elder brothers."
"This so-called Five Elements Illusionary Extinguishing Formation may seem ferocious, but if one can see through the principles of the formation’s operation, it can be broken."
Han Youwang and Li Mingdan were both startled.
"Zhou Yu, you... understand formations?"
As people of the Martial Pagoda, they were all too aware of how scarce Array Masters were.
In the entire Qin State of the Martial Arts World, there wasn’t a single renowned Array Master.
Their current predicament was the best proof of this.
A formidable Array Master, given ample preparation, could slay a large group of Innate experts, or even those in the Saint Realm.
The Martial Pagoda had gone through such great lengths to hire Master Sanhua from Haizhou, and yet he could only escape the formation, not break it.
Now, Zhou Yu was actually saying he would break the formation.
You can imagine how much of a shock this gave them.
Zhou Yu did not say much; his gaze was fiery.
"You two elders, exert strength to seal off your hearing, and at the same time, open your mouths."
Han Youwang and Li Mingdan did not know what Zhou Yu was planning to do.
But their ability to follow orders was strong, and they immediately did as Zhou Yu said.
The next moment.
Roar!
A visible soundwave spread out.
Mixed within that soundwave were thousands of troops and horses.
The five layers of attack that enveloped them, which were originally transformations of the five elements, were shattered instantly by Zhou Yu’s terrifying soundwave, including the golden light screen that transformed into handles of knives and spears and the fiery rains filling the sky.
Even though Han Youwang and Li Mingdan had made preparations, that fearsome soundwave still struck them soul-deep, causing blood to flow from their seven orifices.
Zhou Yu had now stimulated ’Divine Touch’ to its strongest state.
Everything within a hundred meters was within his perception.
He knew every change in the air like the back of his hand.
The Five Elements Illusionary Extinguishing Formation was based on the principles of the five elements generating and overcoming each other, where ’balance’ was of utmost importance.
The five elements—should any one element be suppressed for too long, it would lead to imbalance and cause loopholes in the formation.
Zhou Yu’s task was to find the weakest link in the Five Elements Illusionary Extinguishing Formation.
Sure enough, as the metal and fire elements were briefly suppressed, Zhou Yu immediately discovered the weak point of the Five Elements Illusionary Extinguishing Formation.
"So it’s the wood element!"
A flash of insight gleamed in Zhou Yu’s eyes.
He threw a fierce punch with his right fist, and his Nether Fire True Qi burst forth explosively, targeting the hidden earth element formation patterns below.
Accompanied by a severe earthquake.
The buried earth element formation patterns were blasted apart by Zhou Yu’s Nether Fire True Qi.
The vines that were originally entangling everyone vanished into thin air.
With one of the five elements gone from the Five Elements Illusionary Extinguishing Formation, its power was greatly diminished.
Now, with the metal and fire elements, previously scattered by the Demonic Roar, making a comeback, a shower of fiery rains and golden blades and spears slammed down from the sky, but clearly with less ferocity than before.
Zhou Yu leapt into the air beneath the astonished gazes of Han Youwang and Li Mingdan. Mid-air, he fiercely threw a punch, and his Nether Fire True Qi transformed into two fiery meteor trails, striking at a certain spot in the sky.
Boom!
A loud sound erupted from above.
The metal and fire formation patterns were also shattered by Zhou Yu.
At this point, three out of five elements of the Five Elements Illusionary Extinguishing Formation were gone, and the balance was thoroughly disrupted.
The colorful light screen above them gradually dissipated, returning to calm.
Han Youwang and Li Mingdan stood there stunned, trembling with excitement.
Zhou Yu landed in front of them.
"It’s done, the formation is broken."
"Zhou Yu, you’re amazing," the two said excitedly as they looked at Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu waved his hand and said with a smile,
"We’ve been delayed for quite a while already, let’s hurry up and catch up, to see how Team Leader Lu and the others are doing."
"Right."
