Chapter 2052 - 38: From a Certain City
"Master Lu, are you joking? You say this great battle is just another great battle from before?"
Yang Chong didn’t understand Lu Xingyu’s meaning and asked with an awkward smile.
"I have no time for jokes with you. I saw clearly just now, the power attacking Xiao Wei’s array came from a city."
"And that city is the array that Du Qi broke through."
Lu Xingyu crossed his arms and said with a stern expression.
Initially, he thought Ao Cangsheng was merely a third-rank Array formation, not even requiring a battle for capture.
But after that scene, Lu Xingyu denied his own thoughts.
The technique just seen, let alone a third-level Array Master, even a fourth or fifth-level Master might not display such skills.
"Master Lu, how is this possible? You said the previous array had already been broken by Du Qi."
"How could it possibly appear intact here? We won’t survive!"
Cao Huanyue found it even more unbelievable, expressing disbelief.
Wei Yanming and Yang Chong said nothing but secretly watched Lu Xingyu, waiting for his explanation.
Of course, the previous formation was not a third-level formation.
Seeing the three appear, Lu Xingyu said with a wry smile.
"Not a third-level formation? What is it then?"
Three craftsmen spoke in unison.
"If I am correct, it is a Five-step Array!"
Lu Xingyu squinted his eyes, glancing sharply at Ao Cangsheng, and spoke slowly.
These words were a shock not just to the three refining weapon craftsmen, but also to Wang Zuhuan and the others watching the spectacle.
For third-level Array Masters, they might not see it at all.
But for fifth-level Array Masters, they would respectfully look up.
Because the energy of a fifth-level Array Master could nearly surpass that of a regular True Dragon.
What surprised Wang Zuhuan was, how could Ao Cangsheng be a fifth-level Array Master?
You know, Master Lu has been a brilliant talent in crafting vessels since childhood. After over a century of hard work, he attained such a status.
Yet, Ao Cangsheng, not even twenty, had become a fifth-level Array Master.
If such a thing were not said by Master Lu, once spoken, people would think the speaker had gone mad.
Because in many people’s perception, becoming a fifth-level craftsman requires decades, if not centuries.
Ao Cangsheng is too young; it’s impossible for him to have such achievements.
"I don’t believe it! How could he be a fifth-level Array Master, still a young rabbit?"
Yang Chong gaped in shock, involuntarily glancing at Ao Cangsheng.
"I also don’t believe it! Even if he learned painting and printing arts in his mother’s womb, at this age, he can’t have such achievements!"
Cao Huan was stunned for a moment, still staring intently.
"Hmph! In reality, if this child grows up, how could he become a fifth-level Array Master."
"But the previous array is definitely a fifth-level array."
"The Five-step Array formed by a third-level array."
Before the third-level array is broken or destroyed, the fifth-level array doesn’t appear.
Lu Xingyu frowned, staring at Ao Cangsheng as he spoke.
At this moment, in his deep and determined eyes, there was a trace of fear.
He knew well that with his current power, he might not be able to arrange the array in front.
Looking at the young man before him, who indeed set up a formation.
This demonstrated that in some aspects, Ao Cangsheng’s strength in the path of arrays was even stronger than Lu Xingyu.
After having a meal.
"Master Lu, even if you won’t go, I have to teach him a lesson."
"Otherwise, with such arrogance, it will bring disaster to our martial hall sooner or later!"
Wang Zuhuan frowned, resolute as if facing a common enemy.
"If Han Lao feels that way, that’s the best."
Lu Xingyu smiled reassuringly, then walked straight toward the camp with Light Wave.
Wei Yanming, Cao Huan, Yang Chong followed Lu Xingyu side by side.
Seeing Lu Xingyu’s hand move, Ao Cangsheng’s face immediately flashed a sharp expression.
The only person who could threaten Ao Cangsheng was the fifth-level craftsman Lu Xingyu.
Lu Xingyu not only had great achievements in refining weapons, but his martial arts path had reached the True Dragon realm.
Now, with Lu Xingyu and the other four weapon refining masters advancing simultaneously, Ao Cangsheng had to take it seriously.
Boom
Before the array, Lu Xingyu raised his hand.
Instantly, a red light suddenly appeared in his palm.
The moment the red light appeared, it began to draw with a terrifying sensation in the void.
A moment later, there was a crackling sound. The red light seemed to activate lightning’s power, and the array began to dissolve.
As the outermost array was broken, Lu Xingyu stepped into the formation.
Seeing this, the faces of the other three cultivators showed worry.
Because Lu Xingyu had already stated that the large array in front was a Five-step Array.
This array could even kill a True Dragon.
These three craftsmen were experts from Heaven and Earth. Although they were half a step away from the actual dragon realm, they had not yet crossed into that state.
At this time, with insufficient array strength, if they rashly entered the great formation, they would face great danger.
However, they promised Master Lu to help him capture Ao Cangsheng.
Now, if they temporarily withdrew, they’d be ridiculed by people from Wudang Hall and offend Master Lu.
Another reason was their desire to witness the secret book of weaponry.
If they withdrew now, the secret book of refining artifacts would have nothing to do with them.
Driven by greed, the three finally bit the bullet and joined the battle.
"Cling clang"
Just as the three stepped into the large formation, a sound of metal clashing was suddenly heard.
At that time, they saw a bloody sword light suddenly drop from above, transforming into an endless storm, like lightning, attacking them.
The sword light was so intense that before it descended, the fierce wind had already reddened the faces of the three weapon makers.
"Watch out for the blade!"
Yang Chong was the first to cry out when the killing array moved.
Suddenly, the three alchemists extended their hands one after another. They skillfully raised their palms, roaring at the sword light.
"Boom"
However, before their attack, a strange fiery python flew out from the sky, striking the sword light, causing an earth-shattering sound.
The strange snake’s body swung, its massive tail slapping the sword light to its left side.
Under the great tail’s strike, the empty void shook, and then the light on the blade was directly smashed.
Then the giant python suddenly flipped forward, its enormous head displacing forward. The remaining half of the sword light also shattered.
When the sword shadow’s blaze was thoroughly defeated, the three weapon-makers found that it had been done by Lu Xingyu.
"That wretched brat, when I catch him, I’ll surely peel off his skin!"
As soon as they entered the array, they were ambushed by Ao Cangsheng, and Yang Chong couldn’t help cursing.
Wei Yanming nodded, looking at Lu Xingyu, saying, "With Master Lu in charge, capturing that kid is only a matter of time."
"This kid dared to humiliate us and tried to kill us. Today, he must face life and death!"
After the first wave of killings, Lu Xingyu did not relax.
Sure enough, when he took the next step forward, countless sword shadows appeared in the large array. They cut toward the four with a strong desire to destroy everything.
Rain-like sword shadows. Each sword shadow held the capability to eliminate any strong person and nature.
Hundreds of swords fell simultaneously. Even those three standing on the heavenly peak trembled simultaneously.
Such fierce attacks, if hit, even if not killed, would surely result in severe injuries here.
But the formation was very dangerous. Without the power to protect themselves, they would perish inside.
"Clang"
Suddenly, the sound of collisions and breaking erupted within the large array. Four masters began resisting the sudden assault with all their might.
"I will hold the formation for you, advance with full power."
Seeing the killing power within the battle formation so strong, Lu Xingyu quickly shouted.
When Wei Yanmin
