Chapter 289 – Contest
Xiong Xiying brought her own brother, Xiong Xizhe, who had become a formation master under the great effort of her family, into the Five Elements Great Array. After meeting up with the true disciple of the Opening Spirit School who had barged into the formation later, Han Hao, the two martial arts realm Perfection of the cultivator s joined hands.
Xiong Xizhe had a set of Chess in his hands, and also had the help of two Perfection of the cultivator s. After entering the Five Elements Formation, their journey could be considered dangerous, if not for the delay in time, they would have long entered the center of the stone forest.
Xiong Xizhe also knew how powerful the Five Elements Great Array in front of him was. The reason he had stayed outside of the array during this period was because he wanted to understand more about this Five Elements Formation and then use the Chess to deduce the formation.
It was precisely because of this period of accumulation that Xiong Xizhe felt that his attainments in formations had improved by leaps and bounds, and thus, he began to head deeper into the array. Furthermore, because he had made sufficient preparations in the early stages, with the support of two martial arts realm Perfection of the cultivator s, his speed was extremely fast.
Brother Xiong, you also know that if this drags on, if all the Adept Realm Cultivator s from the various sects get free, will the realms of life cave of the Sunset Ridge still have us?
Xiong Xiying laughed and did not say anything, but Xiong Xizhe, who was at the side, smiled and said: “What do you mean, Brother Sun, are you doubting my intention of delaying?”
Sun Si was furious, but he did not dare to offend this second stage martial arts realm cultivator. This was because this person was an array master, at least in this strange formless array, Sun Si did not have the courage to offend an array master.
I dare not, Brother Xi Zhe, do not misunderstand, I am only thinking for your benefit, whether it is your noble sect, my Opening Spirit School, or the Sirius Gate, no matter which family’s Adept Realm Cultivator comes over, there will definitely be a fight, when that time comes, how can we still benefit from it?
Xiong Xiying then laughed out loud: “Brother Sun, there is one thing I am mistaken about, although I am a direct disciple of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, I am also the direct descendant of the Xiong Family, and my desire for the secrets of this formation is probably even greater than Brother Sun!”
Xiong Xiying slowed down, seeing that Sun Si was obviously mulling over the meaning behind his words, he continued: “But no matter how much we desire this array, we still need to have a life to explore, does Brother Sun think so?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSun Si said in his heart that Xiong Xizhe is your brother as well as an array master, so of course you are not in a hurry, but on the surface he still agreed, “Brother Xiong is right, but I am Meng Lang. I still need Brother Xi Zhe’s help!”
Just as Sun Si finished speaking, the multicolored clouds to the right of the three of them suddenly surged, Xiong Xizhe said softly: “Not good, the formation force has been activated, there’s someone in our vicinity!”
A tunnel of five meters long suddenly appeared, and at the other end of the passage, Yang Junshan had just put away the mirror in his hand. Both parties looked at each other in dismay as they looked through the passage, and when the array’s power counterattacked, the passage was once again blocked by the multicolored light.
Although the two parties had disappeared from each other’s sight, they knew that they were not too far from each other. More importantly, they already knew that the other party had already locked their eyes onto the stone cave carved out from the stone pillar!
“It’s Liu Zhifei, Zhou Beseng, they are messing with that old ghost from Tan Xi Sect!” Xiong Xiying’s expression now no longer had the calm and confidence from before, and she said to Xiong Xizhe in a low voice: “Brother Zhe, we have to rush to the front of the group!”
The moment Xiong Xizhe saw Yang Junshan, his face was similarly filled with haze. After he heard what was said, he said coldly, “Don’t worry, Big Brother. Even though there’s an array master on the other side, I won’t lose to him this time!”
Sun Si’s expression changed, “What? The other party also has an array master?”
Xiong Xiying heard something from her brother’s words. Could it be that Brother Zhe had once lost to his opponent’s array master?
Xiong Xizhe’s face reddened, and said: “This person is the son of the Village Head, I had once sparred with him on the art of array formations in the Xishan Village.”
“Xishan Village?” Xiong Xiying immediately realised who it was, she had been ruthlessly humiliated by him back at the field Exchange Market, she did not expect the person to be an array master, and from the way her brother said it, it seemed like the two of them were not having an upper hand in their competition.
Xiong Xiying frowned, but she could hear his own brother swearing: “Don’t worry big brother, last time, I was suppressed by that person, and now that I have Chess, and am observing the Five Elements Formation, my attainments in array formation have improved greatly, and I will definitely not lose to this child. In fact, if I did not meet him by chance, and after this matter, brother will make another trip to Xishan Village to fight against him!”
Xiong Xiying did not know that her brother would lose to a country bumpkin in terms of array formation with the support of her family, but she still said, “Do not be careless.”
At this time, Sun Si said in a low voice, “Brother Xiong, now that you have been discovered working together with me, aren’t you afraid that your sect’s disciples will inform us?”
Xiong Xiying glanced at him, and said: “Brother Sun, you worry too much. Don’t forget what I have said just now, I am a Successor Disciple of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, but I am also the grandson of the Xiong Family!”
Sun Si smiled and said, “I understand. Hehe, our sects are enemies now, but with Brother Xiong’s words, I am relieved.”
Just when Xiong Xiying and Sun Si had reiterated their intention to cooperate, on the other side, Liu Zhifei and the others were also worried. However, compared to their desire for the cave on the other side of the creek, Liu Zhifei and the others were more sensitive to Xiong Xiying and the Successor Disciple Sun Si’s cooperation.
Zhou Bi Cheng looked at Liu Zhifei’s expression and said: “Senior brother Liu, why don’t we rush over to meet up with Senior Brother Xiong and the rest …”
Without waiting for Liu Zhifei’s expression to change, Zhang Yueming, who was at the side, opened his mouth and interrupted him, saying: “Senior Brother Zhou, Heaven-Shaken Sect has his own strength of character, there is no need to climb up while working together with others!”
Liu Zhifei took care of Zhou Bi Cheng’s face, and only chuckled while avoiding the issue: “In that case, we will compete with Senior Brother Xiong, this Successor Disciple. Although they have two Perfection of the cultivator s, I will join hands with two late stage martial arts realm cultivators of Junior Brother Zhou and Senior Yan to help, so we might not be inferior to Senior Xiong!”
Xiong Xiying was a Successor Disciple of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, but from the way Zhang Yueming interrupted them and his casual words, it was not hard to tell that they did not care much about Xiong Xiying’s status as a Successor Disciple, or it could be said that they did not agree with him.
Even when Liu Zhifei and the others saw Xiong Xiying and the Opening Spirit School’s true inheritors joining hands, they were only worried that the other party would enter the cave first, and not angry at him for cooperating with the enemy sect’s cultivators.
Yang Junshan thoughtfully looked to the other side, only to discover that regardless of whether it was Yan Zhong, Yan Qinxi, Zhang Sunxing or the others, they did not seem to be surprised by this.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLiu Zhifei asked Yang Junshan: “Xiao Yang, can we walk in front of Senior Brother Xiong and the others?”
“It’s very difficult!” Yang Junshan’s words evidently made Liu Zhifei and the rest a little disappointed. “However, we still have some confidence to let them follow us!”
Everyone was stunned. Was there any difference?
Seeing that, Yang Junshan did not explain, but just chuckled, and under everyone’s puzzled gazes, he walked to Yan Qinxi’s side.
Previously, under Yang Junshan’s request, Yan Qinxi had completely scattered the Taibai Golden Light Slash, which was ranked in the top fifty among the three thousand spirit arts, into a layer of white gold light, and condensed all of the water vapor in the vicinity around her as much as possible.
At this moment, a large amount of blue colored water spirit energy had already gathered around Yan Qinxi’s body. Yan Qinxi angrily looked at Yang Junshan who had walked over and said, “If you don’t give me an explanation, I’ll teach you a lesson when we’re out of the cave!”
It was one thing for the grand Killing Spirit Arts to dissipate and be used to condense water vapor, but when countless water spirit energy started gathering, because Yan Qinxi had to focus all her energy on condensing water vapor, her entire body was soaked by the water spirit energy which seeped out from every hole in the water. Her slim figure was completely exposed, making him look like a fairy out of water.
When Yang Junshan walked over, he naturally did not pretend to be a gentleman and ignored the beauty in front of him. On the contrary, he did not care about his gaze in the slightest and admired the beauty in front of him from top to bottom.
Yan Qinxi’s body was in pain from Yang Junshan’s gaze, but she was a spicy person, she immediately glared back, and said fiercely: “Have you seen enough, be careful that I don’t gouge out your eyeballs!”
It was the same personality as in his previous life!
Yang Junshan laughed soundlessly, and suddenly flung his sleeve in front of Yan Qinxi. A thick magnetic light swept forward, and the multicolored mist that pervaded the area in front of Yan Qinxi immediately began to fluctuate intensely, as strands of dense yellow earth attributed spirit energy were extracted from the mist and began to converge in Yang Junshan’s direction.
After losing the earth attribute spirit energy, the multicolored mist that had been suppressed by the five elements immediately lost its balance in the situation. The water attribute spirit energy that was suppressed by the earth attribute first suffered a backlash, and after the large amount of water attribute spirit energy that gathered around Yan Qinxi instantly lost its control, it immediately roared forward like a flood that had broken through a dike.
The surging water elemental spiritual energy quickly attracted the attention of the streams flowing in front of them. The water vapor converged towards the water elemental spiritual energy that was howling in the air, forming a true peak formed by the release of the water elemental spiritual energy.
And at this time, several tens of meters away, Xiong Xizhe was also extremely sensitive to the five element’s changes in the formation. However, just as he was about to use the Chess s in his hands to deduce the formation’s transformation to the critical moment, a wave of water attributed spirit energy, which was formed from the flowing water in the small stream before he got up, rushed over.
