Master of Ghost did build a formation, but it was not a dead one. It was a living one. The core of the living formation was the saber warriors.
If Lu Li were not standing on the immortal's body, he would not have noticed anything. There were too many saber warriors outside. They were as dense as ants. Who would have thought that the problem was with some of them?
Two miles away from Lu Li and the immortal's body was a group of saber warriors. They seemed to be charging toward Lu Li. However, upon closer inspection, one would notice that they were moving in a certain pattern.
They were moving forward in a crisscross pattern. Every now and then, they would be pushed back.
When they crossed paths, the saber warriors behind them would step over them. That was to say … they seemed to be moving forward, but in fact, they were walking on the same spot. They were just crossing paths. Thousands of saber warriors had formed a circle around Lu Li and the immortal's body.
Tian Lingzi had been studying Inhibition Formations all his life. He knew a thing or two about Living Inhibition Formations. He had left an introduction in the books he left behind.
But Living Inhibition Formations were difficult to build. Not even Tian Lingzi knew much about it. Lu Li did not know much about it. Therefore, he did not realize it before.
"Master of Ghost must be a master in Inhibition Formations!"
Lu Li was sure of this. Based on this Living Inhibition Formation alone, Lu Li could tell that Master of Ghost was better than Tian Lingzi in Inhibition Formations.
Tian Lingzi was a master craftsman. Master of Ghost must be a master craftsman.
Even though Lu Li could see the Living Inhibition Formation, it did not mean that it could be solved easily. The thousands of saber warriors were two miles away from Lu Li and the immortal's body.
If the Inhibition Formation could not be broken, then the thousands of saber warriors would remain two miles away. However, to break the Inhibition Formation, the saber warriors must be destroyed …
Lu Li's attack could affect people two miles away. That being said, the saber warriors were strong in defense. With so many saber warriors in front of him, Lu Li's attack would lose its power.
Therefore, this was an endless loop. Without destroying the saber warriors two miles away, Lu Li and the immortal's body could never get close to the saber warriors. On the other hand, Lu Li and the immortal's body would not be able to reach the saber warriors two miles away.
"Hoy ~"
Lu Li jumped up high and hacked at the distance with his Demon Slayer. Two ripples of space spread out quickly, and the space was trembling violently like tides.
"Whoosh, whoosh ~"
Unfortunately, as soon as Lu Li leaped up, countless saber warriors leaped up with him from all directions. The Space Twister was all blocked by the saber warriors. Lu Li could not attack the saber warriors more than a mile away.
"Blood Fairy, try controlling the immortal's corpse!"
Lu Li stopped moving. Blood Fairy controlled the immortal's body to dash forward. Lu Li punched away one saber warrior after another. Soon, he was one and a half miles away.
"This is strange …"
Lu Li clearly saw that the immortal's corpse was one and a half miles away, but it was not the thousands of saber men around it. The thousands of saber men had mysteriously disappeared and reappeared six miles away.
"A formation within a formation, a chain formation. Those thousands of Living Forbidden Saber Men are illusions?
The real Live Forbidden Blade Man should be hiding somewhere. "
Lu Li came to a conclusion after some thoughts. He was troubled. Ghost King's Formation was so powerful that no one could break it.
Although he had seen through some things, it was useless. He could not find the eye of the formation at all.
"It shouldn't be …"
Lu Li smashed away several saber warriors in front of him. A glint of determination appeared in his eyes.
No Formation Master would set up Inhibition Formations that would lead to death. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to go through so much trouble.
Given Ghost King's abilities, as soon as Lu Li came in, he could kill him with Inhibition Formations.
Since Ghost King had set up such a complicated formation, naturally, he would leave a chance of survival, a door of life.
Therefore, Lu Li still had a chance of survival. It all depended on whether he could find this door of life and whether he could solve the obstacles before the door of life.
"Blood Fairy, come back!"
Lu Li stood where he was, deep in thought after he gave the order to Blood Fairy. He had ignored the attacks around him and allowed the saber warriors to land on him.
He even closed his eyes. He calmed down and began to think, trying to find a way out.
The immortal's body came back and stood next to Lu Li. The immortal's body punched in all directions, smashing away the swarming saber warriors one by one. This gave Lu Li enough time to think.
Blood Fairy was good at solving formations. That being said, she was not a human being. She did not know how to analyze and think in a human's way.
She could not understand the complicated and strange thoughts of humans.
Lu Li stood where he was for two or three days. He suddenly opened his eyes and grinned.
Finally, he had figured something out, the key to solving the formation.
The saber warriors two miles away was clearly a fake, a flaw that was deliberately exposed to lure people to solve the formation.
The real eye of the formation was on the saber warriors, not in the distance, but in … the ones next to him.
"Blood Fairy, attack the saber warriors nearby. Destroy all of them. Do not give them a chance to reform!"
Lu Li shouted to himself. He took actions as well. He hacked at the saber warriors around him. Ripples spread out in space. Many saber warriors were minced.
Just like before, some saber warriors that were not destroyed would reform.
In the past, Lu Li did not care. But now, he would swing his saber and hack at the saber warriors on the ground.
"Boom, boom, boom ~"
Blood Fairy carried out the order to the letter. She destroyed all the saber warriors nearby, leaving none alive.
After a while, Lu Li's eyes glowed. He waved his hand and said, "Kill your way forward. Break out!"
Blood Fairy was confused. Could they break out of the encirclement if they kept going?
How could they break out when the formation of illusion was still in place?
Since Lu Li would not say, Blood Fairy did not ask. She controlled the immortal's body to press on.
Lu Li did not explain to Blood Fairy. He followed the immortal's body and smashed the saber warriors into pieces, not giving them a chance to reform.
He had some guesses but he was not sure. He had to wait for the final result to be revealed.
Two hours, 10 hours, two and a half days!
Suddenly, a blurry mountain appeared in front of them. Lu Li's eyes glowed. Blood Fairy's voice rang in his mind, "Master, we are out …"
"Ha, ha, ha!"
Lu Li laughed delightfully. His speculation was correct. The real formation of illusion was in the bodies of the saber warriors that came back.
If the reformed saber warriors were not destroyed, they would be trapped in the formation of illusion forever. The thousands of saber warriors two miles away were just a smokescreen!
Master of Ghost did leave a way out. It was fortunate that Lu Li was familiar with formations or else he would not have found the eye of the formation.
They pressed on. In the time for two incense sticks to burn, Lu Li and the immortal's body finally arrived at a huge mountain.
When they reached the top of the mountain, all the saber warriors disappeared into the ground, leaving behind only pieces of saber …
"Phew, phew ~"
