Fang Chen's eyes were ice-cold as he looked at the five people from the Divine Statue Gate. His heart was filled with killing intent.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" asked Fang Chen.
"Brat, who do you think you can scare in my mist formation? Don't think that just because you're strong, the five of us aren't a match for you," sneered senior apprentice-brother Fang. He was extremely confident in his mist formation.
"That's right. Brat, hurry up and hand over your spatial ring. Otherwise, this will be your burial ground," said another disciple.
"Senior apprentice-brother Fang, why waste words with him?" said a fatty impatiently. "Let's just join hands and kill him. Then we can take his spatial ring."
Senior apprentice-brother Fang nodded slightly. "Since this fellow doesn't know how to appreciate favors, then let's join hands and kill him."
As soon as senior apprentice-brother Fang's words rang out, the mist formation was activated to its peak. A wild aura instantly assaulted them. At the same time, the five disciples from the Divine Statue Gate vanished without a trace.
Fang Chen vigilantly scanned his surroundings. Although he couldn't find the five disciples, Fang Chen knew that they were definitely nearby. It was just that he hadn't been able to find them due to the mist formation.
Swish.
Just as Fang Chen was surveying his surroundings, a female disciple suddenly appeared behind him. As soon as she appeared, she waved her hand, causing countless flowers to shoot out from her hand and shoot towards Fang Chen's back.
BANG!
Fang Chen sensed the energy coming from behind him, and his expression changed. He activated his sword body and then took out the Hidden Star Sword to use the Phantom God Sword Art to block those hidden weapons.
"Damned mist formation." Fang Chen couldn't help cursing.
If it weren't for the mist formation, it would be extremely easy for him to kill these five people. But now, he couldn't see them, and they could sneak attack him at any time.
Fortunately, the mist formation only limited his speed and vision. It didn't limit his combat power.
Swish.
From time to time, the Divine Statue Gate's disciples would launch sneak attacks. Gradually, Fang Chen began to calmly deal with them.
In the dark, the five Divine Statue School disciples gathered together. They stared at Fang Chen, who was constantly moving in front of them, and discussed countermeasures.
"Senior Brother Fang, although your fog formation is powerful, we are still no match for him."
"That's right. Within the Bewildering Fog Array, we have the advantage of time and place. However, this brat's strength is truly valiant. Especially his weapon. I suspect that it's a Low Rank Profound Weapon."
"Xuan Bing!"
Upon hearing the female disciple's words, Senior Brother Fang was slightly stunned. Then, he looked at Fang Chen's Star Concealing Sword. At this moment, he was even more shocked.
Because the Hidden Star Sword in Fang Chen's hand was indeed a primary profound weapon.
"It really is a Xuan Weapon."
Senior Brother Fang was extremely excited. If he could kill this kid, the Profound Weapon would be his. With the Profound Weapon, he would be able to hold his head high in the Divine Statue Sect.
"Kill him at all costs," Senior Brother Fang said in a low voice.
Then, Senior Brother Fang arranged the battle strategy and asked everyone to disperse.
At this moment, Senior Brother Fang quietly came to the front of Fatty, as if he wanted to talk to him. Fatty did not guard against Senior Brother Fang at all.
Just as he was waiting for Senior Brother Fang to speak, Fatty suddenly realized that his body was flying forward uncontrollably.
"Hmm?" Fatty was a little puzzled. He turned his head and saw Senior Brother Fang smiling evilly.
"Not good."
At this moment, Fatty also realized something. He tried his best to control his body, wanting to stop. However, it was too late. His body was already exposed to Fang Chen's sight.
At this moment, Fang Chen was trying his best to find the five people. Suddenly, he discovered Fatty. Without hesitation, he swung his sword and cleanly pierced Fatty's chest.
Fatty did not even have time to resist before he died under Fang Chen's Star Concealing Sword.
At this moment, Fang Chen's back was facing Senior Brother Fang. They were very close to each other. When Senior Brother Fang saw this scene, his eyes were filled with madness.
The reason why he sacrificed Fatty was to wait for this opportunity. A long sword appeared in his hand.
However, his long sword was a supreme-grade spiritual weapon.
The moment he pulled out his long sword, a wild sword intent suddenly emerged from his body and gathered in the long sword.
"Go to hell!"
Senior Brother Fang let out a furious roar. His long sword, which was imbued with Wild Sword Will, immediately pierced into Fang Chen's body.
Fang Chen had just killed Fatty and did not have time to withdraw his Star Concealing Sword. He had no time to dodge and was directly pierced by Senior Brother Fang's long sword.
Fortunately, Fang Chen had already activated his sword body and helped him block Senior Brother Fang's long sword.
Hiss!
Although Senior Brother Fang's long sword pierced Fang Chen's body, it did not cause much damage. This was because the sword intent in the long sword had been absorbed by the sword body.
Puchi!
Senior Brother Fang withdrew his long sword. A sword wound appeared on Fang Chen's back and blood kept flowing out. Fang Chen withdrew his Star Concealing Sword and turned around to glare at Senior Brother Fang.
At this moment, Senior Brother Fang appeared directly and stopped dodging. The other three also appeared behind Senior Brother Fang.
They did not see Senior Brother Fang push Fatty, so they subconsciously thought that Fatty was killed by Fang Chen. Their hearts were filled with hatred.
"Brat, I'm going to tear you to pieces!" The female disciple shouted angrily.
Fang Chen quickly stopped the bleeding on his back and looked at Senior Brother Fang coldly.
"Stop being a coward," Fang Chen said in a deep voice.
"Brat, it's a miracle that you didn't die after being stabbed by my Immortal Killing Sword. Now you're still pretending?" Senior Brother Fang sneered. He thought that Fang Chen was an arrow at the end of its flight.
Hahahaha!
A wild smile appeared on Fang Chen's face.
In the next moment, he pushed his sword to its peak. A crazy sword intent surged out, and the Star Concealing Sword in his hand let out a sword cry.
"You're all going to die!"
Following Fang Chen's roar, the Star Concealing Sword was directly brandished. Senior Brother Fang's face was originally full of smiles, but when he saw Fang Chen erupt with such power, his expression changed.
"Attack together! He's using his last breath. As long as we can hold on, he'll definitely die!" roared senior Brother Fang.
At the same time, the four of them threw out their weapons, wanting to block Fang Chen's terrifying attack.
Crack!
When their weapons came into contact with Fang Chen's Star Concealing Sword, it was like cutting tofu. They were all cut apart.
This was the power of profound weapons. Spirit weapons and profound weapons were on completely different levels.
"AHH!"
The four people's weapons were shattered, and they retreated one after another, wanting to hide in the fog array.
However, how could Fang Chen give them that chance? His wild sword intent instantly enveloped the four of them, making it impossible for them to hide in the mist formation.
Die!
A cold voice came from Fang Chen's mouth. He swung his sword with each step, killing one person with each slash.
Puchi!
After taking three steps, three people from the Divine Statue Sect fell.
There was only one person left, Senior Brother Fang.
At this moment, Senior Brother Fang was terrified. He had not expected that Fang Chen could still erupt with such power after being pierced by his Immortal Killing Sword.
"No, it's impossible!" Senior Brother Fang roared as he retreated.
At this moment, his heart was filled with despair. Although this was the mist formation that he had set up, he realized that he could not control the mist formation when he was enveloped by Lin Fan's sword intent.
"Go to hell!"
Fang Chen took another step forward. The Hidden Star Sword in his hand suddenly danced. With a 'puchi' sound, Senior Brother Fang was pierced by the sword. His eyes were filled with anger.
When he was pierced by the Star Concealing Sword, the sword intent around him instantly dissipated. At this moment, a button appeared in Senior Brother Fang's hand. He pressed it hard and the button instantly shattered.
"Brat, even if I die, I won't let you have an easy time."
After saying that, Senior Brother Fang's body slumped to the ground.
At this moment, Fang Chen realized that the mist formation had undergone a huge change. The surrounding mist was becoming denser, which surprised Fang Chen.
Rumble …
A deafening sound came from within the mist formation. After a long time, the mist formation recovered its bottleneck. At this time, Fang Chen realized that the mist formation had improved a lot.
"What's going on?" Fang Chen was shocked.
"Before that brat died, he crushed the central control of the mist formation," said Patriarch Bronze.
"Generally, when the central control of a formation is broken, there are only two possibilities. The first is that the formation collapses. The second is that the formation's power increases and it becomes a dead formation."
This was the first time Fang Chen had heard of a dead formation.
"A dead formation is a formation without a central control. Unless you're an array master a level higher than the one who set it up, it's impossible to break it," said Patriarch Bronze.
"Damnit!"
Fang Chen couldn't help cursing inwardly.
The Divine Statue Gate's disciple had crushed the central control before dying, turning the mist formation into a dead formation.
"Then how do I get out?" asked Fang Chen urgently. This was the question he was most concerned about.
"This mist formation is a top grade Yuan grade formation. Only an array master can set it up. If you want to break it, you'll need an array grandmaster," said Patriarch Bronze.
"Is that the only way?" asked Fang Chen.
"There is another way. That is to use absolute strength to directly crush the formation," said Patriarch Bronze.
Fang Chen was speechless. What Patriarch Bronze said was the same as not saying anything. Fang Chen's strength clearly wasn't enough to crush the formation. So there was no way he could use this method to break it.
"To think that I've fallen into a death array," Fang Chen mumbled to himself. His face was filled with helplessness.
A dead formation was a formation that would cause any martial artist's expression to change. What martial artists feared the most was a dead formation.
A dead formation without a central control was extremely terrifying. That was because it was impossible to find a way to break it.
Fang Chen had never come into contact with formations before, so he knew nothing about them. Even if he started cultivating now, it was impossible for him to become an array grandmaster.
