Li Chengfeng looked at Su You, speechless. Su You smiled. "Junior Brother Li, you don't know much about arrays but it's alright, we'll deal with them later."
"What if we encounter a changing array like the last time? What should we do then?"
Su You was instantly put in a difficult position, as if he had a piece of sh * t in his mouth. Grand Senior Brother spoke up to save the day. "Today, you're going to face the Illusory Sword Array."
Su You heaved a sigh of relief. "Grand Senior Brother, what's an Illusory Sword Array?"
Li Chengfeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Even you don't know?
Looks like we're in for it today!
But please don't let it be like last time …
He turned to Xiaobao and said, "Stay by my side later, don't get separated. Protect yourself first, don't try to save me. I can protect myself, you just have to take care of yourself." Xiaobao looked at Li Chengfeng.
Xiaobao was a little nervous too but nodded.
Grand Senior Brother said to Su You, "Once you enter, you'll know what array it is!"
Su You said bitterly, "Grand Senior Brother, I know we're just average juniors and we're dragging you guys down. But you can't just watch us train ourselves to death in this array, can you?"
Grand Senior Brother huffed without a word and walked towards Yanjian Hall. Su You and the rest looked at each other, hesitated for a while, but eventually followed, resigned to their fate.
The group entered the huge Yanjian Hall. Looking at the spacious and eerie stone room, Su You and the rest could not help but feel their legs and stomachs tremble.
Grand Senior Brother turned and walked towards the door. Before he left, he said, "If you want to break this array, the most important thing is … trust!"
Li Chengfeng watched as Grand Senior Brother walked out the door and the door slammed shut. They turned back and looked around nervously, afraid that a few puppets would suddenly appear out of nowhere and attack them.
Li Chengfeng was not afraid of these puppets. After all, everything had its weakness. Fire-based spells could suppress the power of his flora and fauna, while the puppets were made of stone and belonged to the earth element. The power of flora and fauna coincidentally contained the five elements of wood that countered earth.
If there were more puppets, Li Chengfeng was confident that he could wipe them all out. No array would work!
At this moment, the rumbling of a mechanism could be heard in Yanjian Hall. Li Chengfeng, Su You and the rest looked around anxiously. Su You yelled, "Everyone split up, grab a spot!"
The position of the spirit design was extremely important. Su You and the rest did not know what kind of spirit design this was, but when the mechanism was activated and the spirit design appeared, they could see where the key points of the spirit design were. After all, this was a training ground, and its purpose was to allow cultivators to familiarize themselves with the spirit design as quickly as possible.
Su You and the rest quickly took up positions and spread out in all directions. This way, no matter what spirit design appeared, they would be able to occupy the key points in the shortest time possible.
However, after Su You and the others split up, the stone floor in the hall did not change. Instead, there was a sudden rumble and the ground around them rose abruptly. A wall shot up and separated them.
Li Chengfeng and Xiaobao had been standing together, less than two metres apart. When the stone wall appeared, they did not move at all. They only watched as the stone wall shot up at an alarming speed, connecting to the ceiling of the stone chamber.
The large stone chamber was cut into three parts. Su You and the rest's cries of surprise could be heard through the thick stone wall, muffled and soft. "Junior Brother Chengfeng!
Are you alright? "
Li Chengfeng was on the other side of the wall, punching it hard and yelling, "I'm fine!"
Su You yelled, "Junior Brother Chengfeng, don't force yourself. If you encounter a difficult mechanism, then …"
Li Chengfeng waited for him to continue but after a while, there was no more movement. He was so angry that he punched the wall, "Hey, finish! Then what?!"
Xiaobao stared straight ahead, tugging on Li Chengfeng's sleeve. "Young Master, look!"
Li Chengfeng took a look and sucked in a breath of cold air. In front of them, a white fog slowly drifted towards them. Li Chengfeng was a little nervous, his mind racing. Poisonous fog?
Fog?
Or …?
It shouldn't be poisonous fog. If Grand Senior Brother wanted us to die, why did he have to go through all this trouble?
This array is called the 'Illusory Sword Array'. Looks like the key lies in the word 'Illusory'. This fog might be the gas that makes us hallucinate. Before Grand Senior Brother left, he said that the key to breaking this array lies in one word: Trust!
Li Chengfeng's heart settled. Although he had never seen this array before, his analysis was flawless.
When the fog swallowed both of them, Li Chengfeng and Xiaobao stood back to back, looking around nervously.
The fog was very thick. When it drifted towards them, Li Chengfeng and Xiaobao could barely see within a metre of their surroundings. However, both of them did not dare to move. After about ten minutes, the fog gradually dissipated.
A long and narrow tunnel appeared in front of Li Chengfeng and Xiaobao. It was a tunnel made of bluestone bricks, with thick bluestone brick walls on both sides. A straight tunnel led to the end of the tunnel.
Xiaobao lifted his head, and his voice trembled, "Young Master, look!"
Li Chengfeng looked up and was shocked. Above their heads were countless sharp swords that seemed to be floating in mid-air, ready to pounce on them at any moment.
Li Chengfeng's heart tightened. "It's fine, the Illusory Sword Array is probably an illusion, we won't die."
"Oh …" Xiaobao calmed down a little. Fearfully, he took a step closer to Li Chengfeng, occasionally looking up at the swords above.
"When will these swords fall?"
Xiaobao raised his head and stared. As soon as he finished speaking, the swords trembled. Then, the swords closest to Li Chengfeng flew down towards him.
"F * ck, you jinx! Run!"
Shocked, Li Chengfeng turned and ran. Xiaobao was quick to react, he turned and ran as well. In just two to three steps, he was already in front of Li Chengfeng.
Li Chengfeng was taken aback. Then, he saw the flying swords at the end of the tunnel plunging down one by one, filling up the tunnel so densely that not even a drop of water could trickle through.
"Young Master, what do we do?!"
Xiaobao's eyes were filled with fear and despair. The flying swords from both sides were like two giant waves crashing towards them.
Li Chengfeng's mind raced as he sprinted towards the middle of the tunnel. "This array must be used to test the trust between cultivators, it can't be a death trap!
There must be a way to break this!
Look around!
Look around! "
Xiaobao quickly looked around, then suddenly pointed, "Look!"
Li Chengfeng looked to see an inconspicuous round hole in the middle of the tunnel. However, against the neatly sealed limestone walls, it stood out like a sore thumb.
Li Chengfeng flew over and rushed to the front of the cave. He looked closely and saw a knob in the cave that he could hold with his hand. He reached his hand in and twisted it hard. The sound of a mechanism rumbled and the flying sword in front of him flew back up with a clatter, hovering in mid-air.
In the tunnel behind Li Chengfeng, swords continued to fall like rain, like a torrential downpour.
Li Chengfeng immediately understood the purpose of this tunnel. He gripped the knob tightly and yelled at Xiaobao, "Go, there must be another knob that controls my side!"
Xiaobao looked nervous. Gritting his teeth, he immediately sprinted forward. His speed was extremely fast, and in just a short while, he had reached the end of the path. He suddenly froze on the spot, looking at Li Chengfeng in fear. He yelled, "Young Master!
There's another tunnel ahead! "
