Chapter 569: Chapter 569: Stone Array

On Gemini Island, nearly a hundred martial artists were roughly divided into four camps, occupying the four corners of the island. Many of them were disciples from Ancient Martial Sects or Prominent Clans, while some unaffiliated Individual Cultivation Martial Artists had taken up their own spots, sitting cross-legged and observing the situation.

The Stone Array, made up of one hundred and eight stone pillars each taller than a man, was set up right in the center of the island, forming a triangle with the two adjacent mountains on the island.

As Fang Bai and his two companions landed on Gemini Island, the martial artists on the island turned to look at them. When they sensed the aura released by the three, the expressions of most of these martial artists changed dramatically, even the ten strongest Earth Level High Rank Martial Artists furrowed their brows, acknowledging the arrival of formidable opponents.

Among Fang Bai’s trio, Wu De made no attempt to suppress his cultivation level, displaying the strength of an Earth Level High Rank, which drew the most attention.

Fang Bai had suppressed his cultivation to the initial stage of Earth Level, ranking him among the upper echelon of the nearly hundred martial artists on the island, similarly attracting attention.

Ye Wumei, although merely a Yellow Level High Rank Martial Artist, her exquisite beauty, unparalleled grace, and ethereal temperament still drew the gazes of many, despite not having formidable strength.

Their arrival added considerable pressure to the other martial artists on the island, knowing that a strong competitor had emerged.

The middle-aged man and woman, suspected to be disciples of Ghost Doctor Sect, also took notice of Fang Bai and his companions, with a somewhat solemn expression on their faces.

Previously on the plane to Lingnan, Fang Bai had revealed a fraction of his power to save Wang Maode, exhibiting a miraculous cultivation technique capable of hiding one’s cultivation. This piqued the deep interest of the middle-aged man and woman.

After getting off the plane, the middle-aged couple had followed Fang Bai and Ye Wumei, hoping to seize an opportunity to capture Fang Bai and force out the secrets of the cultivation technique that could hide one’s cultivation level. However, upon hearing that a large number of martial artists were heading to Gemini Island to hunt for treasure, worried about being beaten to it, they temporarily abandoned their pursuit of Fang Bai and hurried to Gemini Island.

To their surprise, they found Fang Bai and Ye Wumei here, and in their company was an Earth Level High Rank Martial Artist.

In the eyes of the middle-aged couple, the slovenly and disheveled Fat Taoist likely belonged to a Hidden Sect just like them. With Fang Bai associating with such a person, it was assumed he too had connections to a Hidden Sect. Henceforth, if they were to target Fang Bai, they would have to think thrice, in order to avoid provoking a formidable character and creating a powerful enemy for their own sect.

Under the watchful eyes of nearly a hundred martial artists, Fang Bai and his two companions stepped onto the island and headed directly to the outer perimeter of the Stone Array.

Around the periphery of the Stone Array lay several martial artists’ corpses, bathed in blood. They had died from fatal wounds caused by the mysterious and powerful attacks within the Stone Array as they tried to force their way through. Escaping from the Array only to fall shortly after, even immortals could not save them.

However, the sight of these fallen warriors did nothing to deter the enthusiasm of the other martial artists on the island, who believed that the more formidable the Stone Array, the more it proved that the deceased martial artist inside was extremely powerful and hence must have treasures on him.

At this moment, several Earth Level Martial Artists were prowling around the Stone Array, searching for a way to enter, while several others were joining forces to attack, trying to shatter the one hundred and eight stone pillars that made up the Array, but to no avail.

The Stone Array was extremely peculiar; no matter how powerful the strike, it either disappeared without a trace upon hitting a pillar or was rebounded back, causing the attackers much confusion and leaving them struggling to cope.

"Let’s enter and take a look!"

"Don’t believe I can’t break it!"

Amidst the loud shouts and cheers, an Earth Level initial stage martial artist and an Earth Level intermediate stage martial artist activated their movements and forcefully entered the Stone Array together.

No sooner had they entered than they felt the world around them shift, as if they had arrived in a realm of Corpse Mountain Blood Sea, constantly assaulted by blood-clothed martial artists with blood-red eyes, wielding swords and charging at them from all directions.

Though the blood-clothed martial artists seemed both illusory and real, with cultivation only at Profound Level and no match for them in solo combat, their vast numbers and ceaseless attacks made them fearless. Soon, the two intruders were depleted of their True Yuan and completely exhausted.

"Ah..."

A mournful scream rang out as an Earth Level early-stage martial artist who had forcefully entered the Stone Array was pierced through the chest by a sword wielded by a tall and burly blood-clothed warrior. Staggering out of the Stone Array, his chest soaked with blood, he struggled a few times and then stopped breathing.

"Save..."

Another Earth Level middle-stage martial artist didn’t even get to finish shouting "Save me" when a long spear penetrated his throat. Blood spurted wildly, like arrows shooting forth, as he was thrown backward and hit the ground, already devoid of life.

"Two more are dead!"

"This Stone Array is too powerful!"

"The warrior who fell within the Stone Array must have been the one who laid it out!"

"It must be to protect their corpse from being violated!"

"That makes it even more certain that there are valuable treasures upon them!"

Seeing two Earth Level warriors die in succession caused a stir amongst the onlookers. Many cast their eyes upon the Stone Array, showing a touch of fear and daring not to approach.

The Earth Level high-rank martial artists present, including a middle-aged man and woman suspected to be disciples of the Ghost Doctor Sect, though confident in their strength, felt a chill in their hearts upon seeing the bodies strewn about the perimeter of the Stone Array. They temporarily gave up the idea of forcing their way through and sat around the Stone Array in meditation, desperately seeking a method to break the formation.

"Wow, this Stone Array is formidable!"

Wu De had originally been full of ambition, planning to plunge straight into the Stone Array upon arriving at Gemini Island. Now, seeing the fallen warriors, he too halted his steps, his small eyes glittering non-stop.

"Corpse Mountain Blood Sea Minor Killing Array... What a pity the formation is too incomplete; otherwise, its power could increase by many times, even as much as tenfold!"

Fang Bai’s gaze settled on the Stone Array, his heart stirring slightly.

The "Corpse Mountain Blood Sea Formation" was a very powerful slaughter array in the Cultivation World where Fang Bai had lived in his past life. It was classified into Minor and Great Killing Formations. The formation before him was an incomplete Minor Killing Array.

This type of array, constructed with a massive number of Essence Stones, demanded that the person laying the array be well-versed in formation techniques. The slaughter array in front of them was most likely a partial array that the fallen warrior had somehow learned and laid out here.

Even though it was an incomplete array, it was still capable of trapping and killing Earth Level warriors, which testified to the dreadfulness of this type of slaughter array.

"Brother Fang, what did you just say about a Minor Killing Array? Have you seen this type of Stone Array before?"

Fang Bai had been muttering to himself in a low voice, which Wu De hadn’t heard very clearly, so he asked in a low voice.

Ye Wumei also turned her head to look at Fang Bai, this amazing man she admired, who always had unexpectedly brilliant performances. While others couldn’t break the Formation, perhaps he could?

Although Wu De’s query was soft, it did not escape the keen ears of the ten Earth Level high-rank martial artists on the island. At the mention, they all turned to look at Fang Bai, their eyes flickering curiously as they listened closely.

Fang Bai’s gaze swept across those Earth Level high-rank martial artists, curling his lips in a hint of disdainful amusement. He didn’t bother to lower his voice, nor did he use Thread Condensation Sound Transmission, instead, he simply nodded slightly and said indifferently, "Yes, I have indeed seen this type of formation before."
