Chapter 1322: Guiding the Formation
"Haha, I broke it!"
Accompanied by a loud explosion, a cage-like sword array on the lake disappeared, and a young man in the Ninth Level of God-Honor Realm raised the sword in his hand and laughed out loud.
Ye Yun glanced at him and smiled faintly.
This guy merely broke through one layer of sword array, seems like he really went dog-lucked.
"Ye friend, you have already come out!"
The young man glanced over, immediately seeing the fierce man not far from him, he smiled broadly and greeted quickly.
Although his talent was decent, in terms of strength, he was vastly different from this fierce man.
"Hmm."
Ye Yun nodded, then looked towards the void.
A giant door of light began to slowly appear.
"Ye friend, I’ll take my leave first..."
The young man cupped his fists politely and then disappeared into the light door in a flash.
Swish swish...
The lake water boiled, and streaks of sword light soared into the sky, once again enveloping Ye Yun.
"More?"
Looking at the nearing sword array, Ye Yun found it amusing.
The special treatment given to him just won’t end.
Ye Yun suddenly flashed, becoming one with the sword, and swiftly flew out through the gaps in the closing sword array.
"What? Ye Chen actually escaped?"
Deep beneath the lake, Elder Duan was in a daze.
He had lost focus for a moment and forgot to continue setting up the formation. When he came to his senses, Ye Chen had already escaped.
However.
Ye Chen didn’t head towards the teleportation light door to leave the Thousand Lakes Sword Array; instead, he flew deep into the mountains.
"What is this kid up to?"
Elder Duan was perplexed as he snapped back to reality and waved his hand to control the Thousand Lakes Sword Array once more.
Crash... The lake water roared out with streaks of sword light, chasing after Ye Chen frantically.
However, no matter how he controlled the sword array to pursue, its speed couldn’t keep up.
Unless he disregarded others and set up a large cage sword array, trapping everyone inside.
Elder Duan knew he couldn’t do that.
After all, generally, people couldn’t break through so many sword arrays, doing so would tarnish the Sword Pavilion’s reputation.
Among thousands of people, only Ye Chen received this special treatment.
Above the lake, Ye Yun transformed into a streak of sword light, flying at high speed, and couldn’t help but smile faintly as he watched the sword lights rising from the lake below, chasing after him.
He intentionally controlled his speed, also to avoid startling some people.
The reason he was speeding the whole way was to find that Golden Sword God Pan Wu.
This kid is too arrogant, Ye Yun is prepared to teach him a lesson.
After crossing thousands of lakes, Ye Yun finally spotted a familiar figure in one of the lakes.
It was the White-Clothed Sword God Jiang Lengyue.
This peerless beauty stood on the lake, her whole body exuding sword intent that soared to the sky, moving elegantly like startled swans and like dragons, wielding powerful swordsmanship to fight against the sword array in front of her.
She calmly and continuously reduced the power of the sword array.
Ye Yun observed for two moments, realizing that it wouldn’t be long before Jiang Lengyue could break through this sword array.
"Perhaps I should give her a helping hand..."
A smile appeared on Ye Yun’s face as he slashed at the cage-like sword array while passing by.
This strike seemed unremarkable.
Yet it had considerable power acting upon the sword array, invisibly reducing much of its potency.
Ye Yun flashed by and continued searching for Pan Wu.
"Great, the sword array’s power has become weaker!"
Feeling the change in the sword array, Jiang Lengyue rejoiced inside, continuously attacking the sword array.
"This Ye Chen, what a mess!"
Deep beneath the lake.
Elder Duan saw this and couldn’t help but smile wryly, his fingers swiftly forming a spell.
A layer appeared around the sword array beside Jiang Lengyue out of nowhere.
At this moment, Ye Yun was already far away and unaware of this situation.
If Jiang Lengyue breaks through that layer of sword array and finds another layer existing, she might cry.
...
After navigating some more lakes, Ye Yun saw from a distance a cage on the lake where Pan Wu in golden armor was frantically unleashing his sword, about to break the sword array.
"This guy’s strength isn’t weak either."
Ye Yun smiled faintly, instantly arriving at the edge of the sword array.
He observed silently for several seconds.
Ye Yun suddenly raised the Silver Dragon Sword and began to move gracefully in the air, slowly yet naturally, filled with boundless mystery.
Seemingly drawn by some mysterious force, strands of sword light, like dragons, flew out of the lake and entered the cage-like sword array surrounding Pan Wu.
At this moment, the power of the sword array increased.
"What’s going on?"
Pan Wu was speechless; just as he was about to violently break the sword array successfully, the sword array strengthened again?
Deep under the lake.
"How can Ye Chen invoke the formation power of the Thousand Lakes Sword Array?"
Elder Duan said, his face full of shock.
At the same time.
Inside the Divine Mountain Hall, Deputy Pavilion Master Xu and Sikong Ying and others were also too stunned to speak.
Initially, everyone was puzzled about Ye Chen’s motives for flying through the Thousand Lakes Sword Array; but seeing him arrive next to Golden Sword God Pan Wu, everyone understood.
This guy was here for personal vendetta.
Thus, everyone anticipated Ye Chen breaking the formation and confronting Pan Wu, but unexpectedly Ye Chen didn’t play by the rules and actually invoked the formation power of the Thousand Lakes Sword Array.
How did he do it?
"Didn’t expect Ye Chen to be so skilled with the Thousand Lakes Sword Array..."
Deputy Pavilion Master Xu said quietly, narrowing his eyes.
"Pavilion Lord Xu Fu, I swear to the heavens, entering the worldly realm, I did not reveal any information about the Thousand Lakes Sword Array..."
Sikong Ying explained quickly.
"Hmm."
Receiving Sikong Ying’s response, Deputy Pavilion Master Xu’s expression relaxed slightly.
Initially, he thought Sikong Ying had deliberately leaked some secrets to this Ye Chen to please them from the worldly realm, so Ye Chen could perform better.
Now upon reflection.
It was not the case.
"Sigh..."
After observing for a while, Deputy Pavilion Master Xu sighed, "Only those with extraordinary Sword Dao talent and deep understanding of formations can use Supreme Sword Intent to invoke a strand of sword array power.
I suppose... Ye Chen is such a person?"
Sikong Ying rubbed his hands together, smiling flatteringly, "Ye Chen is indeed an extraordinarily rare Sword Dao prodigy."
"Hmm, in that case, my Sword Pavilion worldly realm will have two prodigies from now on..."
Deputy Pavilion Master Xu suddenly said with meaningful nuance, seemingly recalling something, then showed a slight bitter smile.
Hearing these words, Sikong Ying appeared solemn but said nothing more.
Above the lake.
Ye Yun continuously guided the power of the Thousand Lakes Sword Array to flow into the cage-like sword array, and as time passed, the power of this sword array diminished further.
Initially, Pan Wu could cope with ease, but he gradually became strained.
Drops of sweat fell from Pan Wu’s head.
At this moment, his heart was increasingly troubled.
Why did this sword array seem to have eyes and a grudge against him, constantly increasing its attack power?
Elder Duan suddenly appeared from the void, arriving beside Ye Yun.
With a face full of sincere advice, he said, "Ye Chen, don’t continue like this!"
Ye Yun stopped upon hearing.
"Since Elder Duan says so, we’ll stop here."
Ye Yun smiled lightly, then soared into the air, disappearing into the light door above the void.
"Oh, he left so quickly, my ninety-nine layer sword array isn’t finished yet..."
Watching Ye Yun’s departing figure, Elder Duan spread his hands, feeling weepy inside.
