Master Gu was on high alert, not daring to let his guard down. Under his lead, the rune masters around him rolled up their sleeves, looking serious.
Outside, more and more people gathered. They were all envious when they saw Master Gu in the middle of the array formation.
Some of the rune masters were staring intently at Master Gu in the middle of the array formation, afraid that they would miss any details.
However, in reality, ordinary runemasters couldn't understand what Master Gu was doing.
The most relaxed person present was Ye Qing. He was even more relaxed than Xue Canghan.
Among the crowd, Xue Canghan noticed Ye Qing's presence and could not help but frown. He thought to himself, "Who is this guy? Why does he give me a dangerous and familiar feeling? Have I met him before?"
However, Xue Canghan didn't think too much about it. In his opinion, Ye Qing wasn't worth his attention.
Time passed, and the rune masters were all sweating profusely in the array formation. Two of the weaker rune masters were injured and wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
Three hours passed in the blink of an eye. Master Gu was panting from exhaustion and was extremely anxious.
He had once boasted in front of Xue Canghan that he would complete the task within three hours. However, it would be embarrassing if he couldn't complete it now.
As a rune master, the most important thing was his reputation!
Now that he couldn't deal with the ten thousand swords and break apart the Great God-Slaying Array, it was too embarrassing.
"Master Gu, what's going on?"
Xue Canghan asked personally outside the array formation. It was obvious that he attached great importance to the situation.
He had waited for a long time in vain. If he didn't break the array now, it would be a waste of time and life.
If it weren't for Master Gu's reputation, Xue Canghan might have reprimanded him on the spot instead of using such a tone!
Three hours had been wasted. Xue Canghan's previous efforts had all been wasted.
After three hours, all the prodigies and strong competitors of the Xue Yue Empire had arrived.
"Your Highness, please don't be impatient. Give me a little more time. I'll be done soon!"
Master Gu said with fear and trepidation. His forehead was covered in sweat.
"Alright, Master Gu, this Crown Prince believes in you!"
A bright smile appeared on Xue Canghan's face, but only he knew what he was thinking. It was just that he didn't want to overdo it in front of Master Gu. He wanted to maintain the demeanor of a leader.
Master Gu led the rune masters around him and continued his research.
Even Rune Master Ryze was frowning. With their strength, it was too difficult to break through the mysterious and unpredictable Ten Thousand Swords Disintegration God Slaying!
"Sigh, if Brother Nunu the Yeti was willing to join our team, we would have succeeded long ago!"
The Rune Masters nearby heard him and shook their heads slightly. Their eyes were full of contempt.
Master Gu snorted coldly and said, "Master Rui Zi, this is a critical period. Don't think too much. Use all your strength to break the formation!"
Great Master Gu's body shook, and all the mysterious runes around him were released, attacking the ten thousand swords to break down the God-slaying Array.
At the same time, the rune masters worked closely together with Master Gu.
"Boom!"
An earth-shattering explosion rang out. A huge hole appeared in the midst of the ten thousand swords disintegrating. It looked like it was about to collapse completely!
"We're about to succeed!"
Master Gu was ecstatic. After more than three hours of hard work, he was finally about to succeed. Although he did not complete the mission as expected, he could finally answer to His Highness the Crown Prince.
"Chi! Chi!
Chi! "Just as the rune masters were overjoyed, the hole in the formation suddenly condensed again. In the blink of an eye, it was completely repaired!
In the next moment, the ten thousand swords disintegrated into the God-slaying Array, and countless terrifying sword auras erupted!
In an instant, the sword auras wreaked havoc. Master Gu, Ryze, and the others who were in the formation were all attacked by the sharp sword auras. They were in an extremely sorry state!
The ten thousand swords disintegrated the God-slaying Array. The danger level was too high. Even though they were all top experts in the runic world, they were still injured by the sudden attack of the sword auras!
"Not good. Fellow Daoists, retreat quickly!"
Master Gu was the first to react. His figure suddenly rushed out and fought against the sharp sword auras.
Many parts of his body were cut by the sword auras. Blood dripped down, and it was a tragic sight.
As for the other rune masters, it was even more serious. They were severely injured, and the more serious ones even lost a leg or an arm.
Ryze's situation was relatively better. With his superb rune skills, he blocked the attack of the sword auras and successfully arrived outside the God-slaying Array.
"Phew!"
Master Gu, Ryze, and the others all let out a long breath. The shock in their hearts was indescribable.
They originally thought that they had cracked the formation, but in fact, they did not find the true source of the ten thousand swords disintegrating the God-slaying Array!
In other words, their understanding from the beginning was wrong. According to the plan they had formulated, they could not crack the formation at all.
"This … what is going on?" Master Gu muttered as if he had lost his soul.
As a famous eight-star rune master, he was unwilling to accept such a failure. To him, it was simply a stain on his career!
"The ten thousand swords disintegrated the God-slaying Array. It's too magical. There are many changes in it. If we were careless, we would have fallen into a trap. We thought that we could crack the formation, but in fact, we were ridiculously wrong!" Ryze said slowly, concluding this operation to crack the formation.
The rune masters present all sighed and groaned in regret.
Not far away, Crown Prince Xue Canghan's face was completely gloomy. It was incomparably ugly, but it was obvious that he was suppressing the anger in his heart.
"Who else can help this Crown Prince crack the formation?"
Xue Canghan asked. The scene was silent. The rune masters' faces were ashen, and they did not say a word.
They had escaped with great difficulty, and several rune masters had been seriously injured. Now that they entered the God-slaying Array again, wasn't that courting death?
"A bunch of useless things!"
Crown Prince Xue Canghan finally exploded. He could not hold back the anger in his heart, and his eyes seemed to spit fire.
His words scolded the five rune masters, including Master Gu.
Master Gu's face was dark, and he did not say a word. He had indeed failed to complete the task given by Xue Canghan, and he was too ashamed to speak.
"Sigh, if we had asked Brother Nunu the snowman to help earlier, perhaps we would have broken the formation by now!"
Ryze sat on the ground, his face full of frustration. In his heart, Nunu the snowman's status was undoubtedly very high. He was a true top expert!
When Master Gu heard Ryze's words, he immediately sneered. "Ridiculous. That kid can crack the God-slaying Array?
I won't believe it even if you beat me to death! "
