In the blink of an eye, another three days had passed.
In these three days, Xuan Yao had already broken through countless formation patterns. He had already shown signs of exhaustion several times, and had no choice but to take medicinal pills to recover his strength before breaking through the formation again.
In just three short days, his mental state was indeed much worse than before. His face was covered in sweat, and his complexion had become incomparably pale.
Moreover, his speed had become much slower. Sometimes, he would hesitate for a long time before making another slash, afraid that he would mess up the formation.
"As expected of a peerless vicious formation. It's too complicated. My ability is still not enough." Xuan Yao wiped off his sweat and thought to himself.
The people at the back were also extremely nervous, because they saw that Xuan Yao was getting closer and closer to the beast cores. As long as the beast cores were successfully taken out, the formation would collapse on its own, and the people in Hell City would no longer be attacked by the deathly aura.
Xuan Yao looked at the few remaining formations and stopped what he was doing.
These formations not only had a combination of bright lines and dark lines, but there were also some that were a combination of false and real lines. If he was not careful, it would be easy to make a mistake, and that would be troublesome.
Although Xuan Yao had the help of the Heaven's Eye, he had already used up too much of his eyesight and was showing signs of not being able to hold on any longer. Looking at the formation patterns in front of him, he continued to hesitate.
In the end, he let out a heavy sigh and slowly retreated. "I can't do it anymore. Those formation patterns are too profound. With my current ability, I can't lure them away and destroy them. I can't do anything about the rest."
Xuan Yao was not a reckless person. He knew that he had to act according to his abilities, and he would not joke around with his life.
"Leave the rest to me. After breaking through so many formation patterns, I don't think the power will be too great." Han Kai said.
Xuan Yao waved his hand and said, "I'm afraid it won't be easy. This is the core of the formation. Once it is attacked, I'm afraid this place will be completely destroyed. Even the city above will suffer."
"Are we just going to let it go like this?" Han Kai said with some dissatisfaction.
Xuan Yao fell silent. If he did not destroy the formation, then Hell City would still be in danger, which would be equivalent to doing useless work. However, if he forcefully destroyed it, then the entire city would be destroyed.
"If we can't remove those beast cores through the runes, this formation will be finished!" Xuan Yao murmured.
When everyone heard his words, they pretended not to hear him. After all, it was too unrealistic to think that they could obtain the beast core without going through the formation.
After all, even if they had telekinesis methods, they would still come into contact with the formation runes.
Just as everyone was feeling vexed, Ling Xiao said, "Can't we set up another array formation to minimize the impact when we destroy this place?"
Formations had all sorts of mysterious and profound mysteries, such as trapping formations, offensive formations, defensive formations …
Ling Xiao suggested that if he could set up another formation to lock down the entire place, even if he were to forcefully take it, the repercussions would not be too great.
When Xuan Yao heard Ling Xiao's words, his eyes suddenly lit up and he exclaimed, "That's right! Why didn't I think of this method? Young Master, your suggestion is really great!"
Ling Xiao flicked his bangs and made an extremely cool expression. However, when he saw that everyone present was a man, he immediately lost the mood to act cool.
After Xuan Yao rested for a while, he began to fiddle with the formation.
He planned to do as Ling Xiao said and minimize the damage here. This was something he could do.
Ling Xiao ignored him and carefully examined the beast cores that surrounded the small coffin in front of him. He was thinking about whether or not there was a way to remove the beast cores without passing through the formation runes, just like what Xuan Yao had said.
After staring at it for a long time, his eyes lit up and he muttered, "Fraud, do you think that if we can move the beast cores slightly, this formation can be broken?"
Xuan Yao stopped and said, "Young Master, don't be rash. If you can move the beast cores, you will definitely touch the formation runes. You will definitely suffer."
"What if I don't touch the formation runes?" Ling Xiao said again.
"That's impossible. If I can do that, then this formation will definitely be broken safely." Xuan Yao replied.
"Alright, then I might be able to give it a try!" Ling Xiao replied, showing a look of excitement.
"Hey, young master, what are you thinking? You can't act recklessly!" Xuan Yao said nervously.
"Don't worry, it's fine. If you're worried, it's better if you set up that formation for me. If it explodes, there's still one more, and the damage won't be that great." Ling Xiao said.
He wasn't sure if his method would succeed 100% of the time, so he might as well make sure he was fully prepared.
Xuan Yao hesitated for a moment, but didn't say anything else. He once again set up the formation.
After the formation was set up, Xuan Yao said seriously, "Young Master, don't be rash. If you really can't do it, then let Elder Han do it!"
Ling Xiao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I think there shouldn't be a problem. Elder Han and Mad Tooth, pay attention from the side. If it doesn't work, you guys can seal this place. At that time, this formation won't be able to cause any trouble."
The few of them looked at each other and chose to listen to Ling Xiao's words.
After all, Ling Xiao had given them too many surprises. It was as if nothing was too difficult for him.
Xuan Yao and the Savage Leopard left the secret room. Their strength was no longer of much use if they stayed.
Ling Xiao also began to make his move on the beast cores.
In terms of strength, he was naturally inferior to Mad Tooth and Elder Han, but in terms of methods, he was inexhaustible.
To move the beast cores in the card slots without touching the formation runes and stopping the operation of the formation, Ling Xiao only had one way, and that was to rely on the invisible and traceless Spiritual Energy.
Spiritual energy could pass through all tangible objects and make any kind of attack. Naturally, it could also pass through these formation runes and enter the formation core to move the beast cores.
Ling Xiao carefully controlled his Spiritual Energy.
He didn't dare to make too much of a commotion, and only condensed it into the size of an invisible human hand.
When the Spiritual Energy hand slowly permeated the formation runes, a few drops of sweat appeared on Ling Xiao's forehead. He was afraid that the formation would suddenly explode, and at that time, he wouldn't be able to withstand the devastation of this high level formation!
Fortunately, the Spiritual Energy ignored the formation runes in the end and entered the core of the formation, grabbing one of the beast cores.
His mental power firmly wrapped around the beast core, and then he moved it out of the card slot.
When the first beast core was moved out, Mad Tooth and Han Kai were both overjoyed. At the same time, the way they looked at Ling Xiao changed.
Following the movement of the beast core, the formation runes clearly shook, and many of them actually started to weaken.
Ling Xiao was overjoyed, and he began to grab another beast core.
After continuously moving the beast cores out, the formation runes finally started to gradually disappear, and the small coffin in the middle also started to tremble, as if it was resisting something.
"Just two more and this formation will be finished!" Ling Xiao thought to himself proudly.
However, at this moment, a powerful aura descended from the sky, causing the entire secret room to shake all of a sudden.
A shrill and frightening voice that sounded like it came from the depths of hell rang out, "Who … who dares to destroy my formation, you're really courting death!"
As the voice faded, a terrifying giant palm suddenly appeared in the secret room, grabbing towards Ling Xiao and the other two. The long fingernails carried an incomparably ferocious energy.
"Kid, be careful!"
Han Kai saw this coming and cried out in alarm. With a powerful suction force, he pulled Ling Xiao back, and at the same time, he sent out another palm to meet the phantom claw.
Boom!
A powerful gust of wind exploded in the secret room, causing it to shake non-stop, as if it was about to collapse.
When Ling Xiao came back to his senses, he saw that Han Kai had actually been knocked back by his opponent and smashed into the rock wall, blood still flowing from the corner of his mouth.
"Not bad, no wonder you can come here and destroy my formation. However, all of you can go to hell!" Another voice sounded, and the phantom claw grabbed over again.
Mad Tooth attacked from the side, and his Ten Millennial Frigid Iron Chains turned into a series of whip shadows that smashed against the phantom claw.
However, the Void Claw didn't seem to have suffered much damage. It grabbed Mad Tooth like an eagle was grabbing a chick. A Saint was actually so weak.
Mad Tooth was grabbed by the phantom claw, and it felt as if he was being crushed by a dozen mountains, making it impossible for him to breathe. It was as if he would be crushed by the phantom claw if the other party exerted more force.
Just as he was struggling, Han Kai attacked again. This time, he did not hold back, and he sent out a fierce palm of fire at the phantom claw, slapping it down. Mad Tooth took the opportunity to escape.
"Damn it, I'm going to kill all of you!"
The voice sounded again, and this time, two phantom claws descended at the same time, grabbing towards Han Kai and Mad Tooth with unparalleled energy.
Ling Xiao was shocked by the sudden appearance of the phantom claws. He never thought that there would be such a capable person who could attack through the void. This was definitely above the strength of the Holy Emperor.
He could not help but wonder, "Are there still existences at the level of the Holy Emperor in the Central Territory?"
He had heard from his Master, the Demonic Emperor, that once one reached the level of the Holy Emperor, they would have to go to the Heaven Territory, because once they reached that level, the World Energy and various resources in the Central Territory would no longer be enough for them to make a breakthrough.
However, how could he not be shocked that such a level of existence had appeared in front of him?
However, he quickly came back to his senses, because Han Kai and Mad Tooth's situation was not good!
Han Kai was a high-level Saint, so he could still handle it, but Mad Tooth could not. He was afraid that he would not be able to withstand the two phantom claws soon!
"Damn it, it's just a phantom attack. I don't believe you can overturn the heavens!" Ling Xiao cursed. He had thought of a way to destroy these two phantom claws.
He yelled at Han Kai and Mad Tooth, "Old Han, Mad Tooth, pay attention, I'm going to destroy the Spirit Array!"
As soon as he said this, his fists blasted out powerful energy, smashing into the remaining traces that had yet to be eliminated.
Boom!
