Li Chengfeng's jaw dropped. Are these statues alive?
Do they really have to be so difficult right from the start?
This was Li Chengfeng's first time meeting an opponent like this. It was not a living creature, but a mechanical statue. How was he supposed to fight this?
Even if it was the Grim Stork, he knew how to attack its weak points. But these mechanical statues?
Li Chengfeng gritted his teeth, gripping his bone spear as he charged forward. However, just as he was about to the left, he heard someone shouting at him. It was Su You, the one who brought Li Chengfeng to his' accommodation '. "Don't block the way!
Scram! "
Li Chengfeng was enraged, but he knew that he did not know the trick. In a flash, he leapt backwards.
As he leapt, Su You roared, "Don't jump higher, you're looking to die!"
When Li Chengfeng saw the five statues, they immediately turned to look at him. The two long swords in each statue's hands immediately flew towards him. In an instant, ten swords flew towards Li Chengfeng at lightning speed. Li Chengfeng was shocked. He was in mid-air and could not borrow any force. Fortunately, he was connected to Xiaobao's mind. He immediately turned to look at Xiaobao and saw Xiaobao running towards him.
Xiaobao was extremely fast, even faster than Li Chengfeng. In just one leap, he was right in front of Li Chengfeng. With a flip, he hooked the corner of Li Chengfeng's shirt with one hand and pulled hard. Li Chengfeng's body flipped, dodging eight flying swords. With a backhand swing of his bone spear, he knocked away two swords that he did not manage to dodge. Only then did he land on the ground.
Li Chengfeng's hand that held the bone spear trembled violently. The power of the flying swords was beyond his imagination. It was terrifying. His arm was numb from the impact, and he could not use any strength.
"These statues are so strong!" Li Chengfeng and Xiaobao looked at each other. Both of them were drenched in cold sweat.
But what happened next sent chills down Li Chengfeng's spine. With a wave of their hands, the ten swords that were stuck in the stone wall flew back into their hands!
At that moment, Li Chengfeng witnessed the power of this seemingly clumsy stone statue.
Su You did not have time to care about anything else. He yelled at the rest of the Hidden Sword Court cultivators who did not react to Li Chengfeng's words, "Blockhead, go get the front and middle arrays! Don't let them complete the array!"
The tall man called Blockhead didn't say a word. He raised the heavy sword in his hand and pounced forward. His body was extremely heavy, and every step he took caused the ground to tremble slightly. It was as if with every step he took, his body would become heavier and his strength would increase by a fraction.
Li Chengfeng watched as he charged towards the centre of the huge stone chamber and met the first stone statue. He swung his heavy sword and clashed violently with the stone statue that was also swinging two longswords. There was an ear-splitting sound in the stone chamber, and the two figures flew backwards in an instant.
Blockhead let out a muffled groan, and a trace of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. The stone statue was blasted five meters away, and after a few cracks appeared on the ground, it stabilized itself and continued forward as if nothing had happened.
At this moment, Su You commanded loudly, "Tianjun, Zuo Fei, go get the front left!
Tongqiu, Yibai, go get the front right!
Blockhead, come with me to get the eye of the array! "
Li Chengfeng was completely confused, trying his best to keep up with their battle strategy. However, he had never even come into contact with arrays before, how could he understand what Su You was talking about? What did he mean?
Eye of the array?
What was the eye of the array? Was it referring to the array's weakness?
Li Chengfeng watched as the six of them carried out their duties. Two went for the front left, two for the front right. The other two, Su You and Blockhead, who had recovered slightly, once again rushed forward from the empty front and middle positions, towards the centre.
There was a stone statue standing guard at the centre. It did not move an inch, its four arms wielding swords as it glared at them.
Behind it, there was another stone statue guarding the rear array, as well as another stone statue in the front array that had been sent flying and was about to attack again.
Su You and Blockhead broke through the middle of the formation. Both of them were extremely fast. Blockhead was in front while Su You was behind him. Su You stuck a talisman on Blockhead's body. Blockhead's body immediately emitted a layer of golden light, making him look like a golden-armored warrior. He roared and rushed to the front of the stone statue, swinging his sword with all his might.
The stone statue stood in the middle of the formation. It seemed to be the most powerful, and it blocked Blockhead's attack with just one sword strike. With a loud clang, Blockhead's purlicue split open, and blood flowed out of his hands that were holding the sword.
Su You panicked. "Chase it away!
Get the eye of the array! "
At this moment, the other three arms of the stone statue swung their swords at Blockhead. Blockhead was shocked. The three swords were aimed at his head, waist and arms. His only chance was to retreat immediately. However, if he retreated now, he would completely expose Su You. Blockhead gritted his teeth and roared in anger. He bent down and charged towards the stone statue instead of retreating. In an instant, he jumped into the statue's arms and carried the statue in a bear hug. The four swords in the stone statue's hands immediately slashed at Blockhead's head.
Su You was shocked. "Throw it!"
Blockhead was born with superhuman strength. The moment he lifted the stone statue, he threw it away. He felt a cold breeze on his head, his scalp had been sliced off.
Su You was overjoyed. He immediately conjured a sword mudra and a red light shot out from his back. Like a raging flame, it flew towards the stone statue. At the same time, he shouted, "Concentrate your attacks!"
At this moment, the other four people who were fighting on the left and right sides of the array retreated at the same time. Among them, Tongqiu and Yibai had not even passed the Foundation Establishment stage. They didn't even have a talisman, let alone a magical power. They could only watch dumbfounded. The other two raised their swords and attacked the stone statue.
Three beams of light flashed, and the stone statue was smashed into pieces in mid-air. Parts of the mechanism were scattered everywhere. Su You was overjoyed. He immediately rushed to the eye of the array and stabbed his sword into the square on the ground. The ground shook slightly, and then the square in the stone room began to move.
Su You was horrified. "No, impossible!
This … this is a fake eye of the array? "
Li Chengfeng saw that some of the stones in front of them were falling down, while others began to move according to the square that was created.
At this moment, Li Chengfeng realised that there seemed to be a special pattern under the cracks on each stone. The pattern was messy and messy, but as the stones moved and floated up to fill the ground, Li Chengfeng realised that these patterns actually linked together to form a huge circular array. Another stone statue rose from the center of the array, replacing the previous one. What made everyone shudder was that this array was glowing red, and it gathered on each of the stone statues.
Li Chengfeng watched as the eyes of these stone statues lit up with crimson flames, as if they were awakened warriors with souls.
Su You's voice trembled in despair. "This … this isn't the Chaotic Sword Array … this is the Five Directional Demon Sword Array!"
Everyone else looked hopeless. Only Li Chengfeng was fearless because he was ignorant. He did not know what had happened just now, nor did he know what had happened now.
All he knew was that if they could not cross this array, everything else would be pointless.
