Chapter 455: Chapter 451: Joining Hands Chapter 455: Chapter 451: Joining Hands “Daoist friend Tian, are you sure you fully understand this array? Our lives are at stake; there's no room for carelessness,” The scholarly robed old man asked with some concern.

“Daoist friend Fang, don't worry, I actually have some research on arrays. The first change of the guarding mantra in the Cloud Hanging Array is the shift from the Kun to the Zhen position, the third change of the entrapment mantra is the shift from the Li to the Qian position, and the fifth change of the destruction mantra is from the Xun to the Dui position, is that correct?” Shen Luo replied with a light smile.

“Haha, friend Tian indeed has a thorough understanding of arrays, I am impressed. Now let's not delay, we should hurry up,” The scholarly robed old man laughed heartily after a slight pause.

The group of six hurriedly moved forward, entering a corridor ahead.

The scholarly robed old man led the way, swiftly moving through the corridors, and after half a day, they arrived at an ordinary stone chamber.

There were two passageways leading to other directions in the depths of the stone chamber, the scholarly robed old man ignored them and headed straight for the corner of the room.

There, a black stone block protruded from the wall. Apart from some dark red traces on the surface, it seemed to present no special features.

“This is it. Second Brother, proceed as planned,” The scholarly robed old man carefully examined the black stone, his face lighting up with excitement. He then turned to the white-robed youth.

The white-robed youth immediately agreed and took out a dark red pouch from his hand. Inside it was a liquid emitting a pungent smell of blood.

Upon seeing this, Shen Luo frowned slightly.

“The path to the rear hall is sealed. The seal is within this black stone and is known as the Blood Yin Seal. It requires fresh blood to activate,” explains the scholarly robed old man.

Shen Luo nodded slowly upon hearing this.

The white-robed youth poured the pouch, and fresh blood flowed out onto the black stone, making a soft gurgling sound.

The red traces on the black stone slowly became more vivid, and other parts of the stone revealed red patterns.

The other people saw this and looked delighted.

Once the blood from the pouch was poured out, a miniature array pattern emerged on the black stone. Like a spider web, gleaming lines of blood light radiated from it, making crackling noises.

“The seal is revealed! Everyone, attack this seal together! Only by breaking it can we enter the rear hall!” The scholarly robed old man shouted, raising his hand.

The Fire Cloud Gourd reappeared, and with a flash of crimson light, a shower of red sand shot out, forming a line several meters long.

The scholarly robed old man cupped his hands together and threw them up into the sky. Burst of crimson flames erupted from the sand, connecting to one another, forming a blade of blood, and with a swoosh, it sliced towards the black stone.

The white-robed youth quickly retreated, lifting both his hands.

An orb of dazzling grey light flew out from his sleeves, within which was a gray flying wheel. Both of its sides were full of sharp teeth and they whirled rapidly, emitting sharp wails as it headed towards the black stone.

The red-skirted young woman by his side also took out an object from her bosom and tossed it into the air. It was a shining silver ring, exuding a starlight-like silver glow.

“Go!”

The young woman flicked her hand and the silver ring sped off, tracing an arc in the air. It was shockingly fast, surpassing the grey flying wheel of the white-robed youth in an instant and hurtled towards the black stone.

The one-eyed man and the fierce man with a leopard head standing behind, both raised their hands. Two black lights shot out from them, revealing two identical long-handled battle sabers. The bodies of the sabers were marked with two black Jiao dragon patterns, seemingly two matching magical instruments.

As soon as the two battle sabers flew out, they immediately converged, and the black light on them instantly flourished, forming two dragon-like sword glows, that crisscrossed and slashed towards the black stone.

As everyone else was joining in, Shen Luo naturally also couldn't stay idle, he poured his mana into the green short axe in his hand, and concentrated rows of green electric arcs appeared on the axe.

He raised his hand and swung it down in the void, dozens of green thunders shot out, condensed together, forming a green thunder and lightning axe shadow about a few feet long, it flashed and crossed dozens of feet in distance, slashing at the black stone.

The array on the black stone seemed to feel threatened, the blood light flourished, rapidly rotating and collided with the attacks of the six people.

With a series of “Boom Boom” explosions, loud echoes filled the entire stone chamber, as it violently shook. The ground also intensified with several undulations, like an earthquake, large pieces of fragmented rock and dust poured down!

The blood light on the black stone was scattered for the most part, the remaining blood light was like a flame in a violent storm, it wildly flickered, however, it eventually stabilized.

Not only that, the formation pattern on the black stone flickered, those blood lights quickly brightened, indicating a steady recovery.

“This array is extremely robust, we may not be able to break it down with a simple combined attack, Deploying Cloud Hanging Array! Friend Tian you have the highest cultivation level, you will take the lead!” The Scholarly Robed Old Man saw this scene, his face changed abruptly, after his gaze flickered a few times, he decisively ordered.

In the midst of speaking, he pulled out a white flag with a flip of his hand, exactly like the one he had previously given to Shen Luo, and swiftly stood to one side of Shen Luo's body.

The other four of the Five Friends of Mang Mountain, upon hearing this, although some were not quite satisfied with letting Shen Luo serve as the array's center, they had no choice but to go along with it right now, they each took out a white flag and stood around Shen Luo, activating the Cloud Hanging Array.

Seeing this, Shen Luo also took out his white flag and imbued it with his mana.

In a short while, six clusters of white light bloomed from the small flags in their hands, connected to each other, forming a white ring of light that enveloped the six of them.

Although Shen Luo's expression was calm while standing within the formation, he was somewhat surprised inside.

He had seen the battle formation map before, but he found it somewhat surprising when the formation actually began to operate. The Cloud Hanging Array indeed had quite a few ingenious features, and once the formation was activated, it was as though a passageway had been opened, connecting the mana of all six people.

If any person's mana was weakened, others could support them immediately, and the mana of the six people could be concentrated onto a single person, causing that person's mana to explode and increase, allowing for powerful attacks to be launched in an instant.

But since these five people were known as the Five Friends of Mang Mountain, their actions usually involved five people, which made this formation somewhat impractical for them.

During these thoughts, the expressions of the Five Friends of Mang Mountain became solemn as they shook the small flags in their hands, constantly operating the power of the formation.

Shen Luo's eyes widened slightly, as he felt the influx of mana from the five people pouring into his body.

The mana in his body suddenly increased several times, like a raging wave flowing through his meridians, distending all of them. Fortunately, he had previously taken the Meridian Expansion Pill, which had stabilized his internal meridians, otherwise he might not have been able to withstand the surge of power.

A “rumble” reverberated as his body exploded with an extreme aura of pressure, causing the surrounding air to tremble.

“Roar!”

Shen Luo let out a long cry, commanding the green short axe in his hand, as several rows of green electric arcs, which were several times thicker, appeared on the surface of the axe.

A burst of crackling sounds of thunder exploded, filling the entire stone chamber with the roar of wind and thunder in an instant.

His body was also submerged in the green thunder, with lightning swirling all over his body as if a Thunder God had descended upon the world.
