Chapter 1190: The Formation is Broken?

Chapter 1190: Chapter 1190: The Formation is Broken?

The Formation, just like that, was broken?

Everyone stood there with shocked expressions, taking a long time to recover from their surprise.

Gongsun Zheng, who was originally smug, was also startled by this scene.

He had never expected such a turn of events...

Beside him, Wei Qiuwan showed a look of delight, utterly indifferent to Gongsun Zheng’s expression.

Gongsun Zheng quickly regained his composure, and just as he was about to speak, he noticed the change in Wei Qiuwan’s expression. A touch of jealousy flared up within him, and he clenched his fists even tighter, wishing he could kill Xu Fan!

"There will always be a chance to kill you!"

He vowed to himself bitterly.

Ning Fan stood with a calm gaze, watching the stupefied disciples with his hands behind his back.

"This Formation is too simplistic, only requiring strength surpassing the one who set it up, making it completely useless against anyone with such power, too weak."

"As for the few Formations outside the boundary, the Fire Array is somewhat useful, but its construction contains errors, reducing the power it should have unleashed."

...

In just a few short moments, Ning Fan had pointed out the flaws in several Formations laid out to obstruct him.

This caused the few disciples who had set up the Formations to hang their heads in shame.

After all, flaws in a Formation are a fatal weakness.

"Relying on these Formations to win at the auction, impossible."

At this moment, Ning Fan’s tranquil attitude appeared arrogant and haughty in Gongsun Zheng’s eyes. Gongsun Zheng stepped forward mockingly, "Talk is cheap, anyone can do that."

"Being able to break a Formation doesn’t mean you have the strength to teach us here!"

His words gave the previously ashamed disciples a boost of confidence; they all looked up, nodding in agreement with Gongsun Zheng.

Buoyed by their support, a smug smile slowly formed on Gongsun Zheng’s lips, filling him with even more confidence.

This scene confirmed for Ning Fan that Gongsun Zheng was indeed the most influential among these disciples, which meant that if he defeated Gongsun Zheng, the others would have no choice but to accept defeat.

Ning Fan smiled openly and lifted his right hand, gesturing to Gongsun Zheng with a beckoning finger.

"If you’re not convinced, come and try."

Seeing Ning Fan’s invitation to death, Gongsun Zheng naturally would not miss the chance to show off in front of Wei Qiuwan; after glancing at the beauty beside him, he confidently said, "Let’s try it."

Looking at Ning Fan, Gongsun Zheng once more spoke with confidence, "I will set up a Formation. You must turn around, and if you can’t exit the Formation within the time of an incense stick burning, then you should roll out of here obediently!"

"And if I break it?"

"Simple, I’ll let you do as you please!"

Ning Fan smiled lightly, naturally not refusing the challenge Gongsun Zheng had proposed. It suited his own intentions.

"Daoist Xu."

Wei Qiuwan, moved by concern, took a step forward, "Daoist Xu, be careful."

Ning Fan nodded faintly, then turned away.

Gongsun Zheng, seeing this scene, felt a surge of jealousy and gritted his teeth secretly, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Qiu Wan, step back. I’m about to set the Formation."

With teeth clenched in a warning, Gongsun Zheng already had vigorous Spiritual Energy covering his hands.

The others nearby, seeing this, tactfully backed away.

Among the younger generation of disciples in the Four Sects Alliance, Gongsun Zheng was undoubtedly one of the most talented, especially in the art of Formation, where few could compare to him.

The group of disciples watched Gongsun Zheng’s skilled Formation setting with amazement.

Wei Qiuwan grew even more worried, as she clearly knew what kind of person Gongsun Zheng was; this challenge was likely not going to be as simple as it seemed.

Soon, a chilling killing intent spread through the area, with the Formation Gongsun Zheng was setting up nearly complete, emanating a terrifying murderous aura.

Although the Formation was not large, killing a few clueless individuals within it would be incredibly easy.

A smug smile lifted the corners of Gongsun Zheng’s mouth, as he already felt assured of victory.

Wei Qiuwan also noticed something amiss with the Formation and looked at Gongsun Zheng angrily, "Gongsun Zheng, it’s just a normal challenge, how could you!"

"Qiu Wan, he chose this himself, don’t interfere."

Before Wei Qiuwan could finish, Gongsun Zheng had already casually spoken up to interrupt.

Then, he turned to face Ning Fan, "You can turn around now. Do you dare to break this Formation?"

Ning Fan had already sensed the murderous intent emanating from the Formation as it was being set, but he did not care. With the memories of his mother’s legacy in his mind, what need did he have to fear such a Formation?

Turning around, he saw that the Formation before him carried a sinister blood-red hue, and its killing intent was like a piercingly cold gale.

Gongsun Zheng’s smile grew deeper, his confidence showing as he crossed his arms over his chest and faced Ning Fan, "This is a Killing Array I have casually laid out; as the name implies, if you can’t escape from it, you’re very likely to die inside it."

"You still have time to admit defeat."

Gongsun Zheng was wholly confident in the Killing Array; it was one of the Formations he was most proud of.

Not a few Mid Foundation Establishment Cultivators had died within the Killing Array before, and even Peak Cultivators who entered it would struggle to escape unscathed within the time of an incense stick burning.

Unless, of course, the opponent was deeply learned in the way of Formations.

Ning Fan only smiled, not responding to Gongsun Zheng’s words, but as he took a step into the Formation.

As soon as he entered the Formation, the surroundings shifted; blood red enveloped everything, countless swords formed out of thin air, and a sword rain descended from the sky with Ning Fan as its sole target.

With a wave of his hand, Spiritual Power surged forward, spreading out like a ferocious tide, scattering the sword rain around him.

Yet, the sword rain converged again, rushing towards Ning Fan instantly.

A flash of brilliance in his eyes, Ning Fan immediately knew how to break the Killing Array. With a wave of his finger, a sword beam shot directly towards one direction.

Outside the Formation, a group of disciples sighed and shook their heads, seeing Ning Fan as a man doomed to fail.
