Chapter 1877 - 1905: Blame [Third Update]
"Indeed, there is something here!" The people from the Fierce Blade Sect were thrilled and swiftly delved deeper into the northern area.
In less than half an incense stick’s time, they saw a very large medicine field on the open ground in the north district.
The rich fragrance of medicinal herbs permeating the entire north district came from this medicine field.
Upon seeing the medicine field, everyone excitedly shouted, "It’s the medicine field of the Soul Devouring Clan!"
Merely from the aura emanating from that medicine field, everyone could ascertain that it contained many high-level herbs, and the age of some of them even exceeded ten thousand years.
The crowd eagerly approached the medicine field, but shortly thereafter, they were blocked by a large formation outside the field.
Lord Ba Dao raised his blade, True Essence erupted, Thunder Dao Principle entwined, and Flame Dao Principle simultaneously exploded, merged together. In that instant, Lord Ba Dao swept his blade horizontally, unleashing a flaming thunderbolt blade that spanned hundreds of meters, attacking the formation of the medicine field. In the blink of an eye, the blade energy crashed into the defensive array.
"Boom~~" A massive explosion echoed all around; waves began to emerge from the defensive array, but Lord Ba Dao’s strike did no harm to the defensive array, let alone break it.
Unwillingness flashed in Lord Ba Dao’s eyes, "Damn it, this formation is already in tatters, yet still so strong. My full-strength strike couldn’t even budge it. Zhuge Qingsong, can you do something?"
Zhuge Qingsong frowned at the formation and said, "This formation, at its peak, was a third-tier Holy Level array. Even though it’s now dilapidated, it still contains significant energy. I have only fifty percent confidence!"
"Fifty percent is enough!" Upon hearing Zhuge Qingsong’s words, Lord Ba Dao said, then asked Zhuge to break the formation. Time hurriedly passed, and soon half a day had gone by. Zhuge sat in front of the formation all the while, using the method of array inscription to break the medicine field’s formation.
At this moment, Zhuge began to inscribe an attack-type formation to shatter the medicine field’s formation.
Ye Feng stepped forward and said, "That’s wrong. You shouldn’t use an attack killing formation to break the medicine field’s array here. Instead, use a similar defensive array to integrate and disrupt the internal structure. Only then can the formation be gradually broken!"
"Shut up!" At this instant, Zhuge Qingsong shouted angrily, "What do you know? Are you the Array Master or am I? Is it your place to suggest how to break it? Shut your mouth or don’t blame me for being rude!"
Ye Feng continued persuading, "If you keep using the killing formation, the two formations might repel each other greatly, and you might get injured. You’d better listen to me and use a defensive array to break it. It’s the simplest and safest way!"
"Kid, if you keep babbling, do you believe I might cut off your tongue now? I am the Array Master; I would not know how to break it? You question my method? Ridiculous!" Zhuge Qingsong outright ignored Ye Feng’s advice.
At this point, Lord Ba Dao frowned, "Feng Ye, you’d better shut up, don’t hinder Zhuge’s array-breaking process, or even with the help you’ve offered along the way, I won’t spare you!"
Ye Feng shook his head, his face devoid of any ripple of emotion. Since they wouldn’t listen, let him proceed as he wished.
All the while, everyone quietly watched Zhuge Qingsong breaking the array. Soon enough, Zhuge’s killing formation gradually took shape and was imprinted onto the defensive array of the medicine field. But at that moment, the formation began to shake.
"Buzz~~" The formation unleashed bursts of roaring sounds, trembling intensely.
Immediately afterward, the arrays Zhuge inscribed and the medicine field’s defensive array began to glow, generating tremendous repulsion. Cracks appeared on Zhuge’s killing formation and quickly spread.
"Boom!" A loud bang, the killing formation exploded directly, terrifying power impacting Zhuge Qingsong, instantly engulfing him in overwhelming explosive heat, driving him back hundreds of meters.
"Ugh!" Zhuge Qingsong landed heavily on the ground, spewing a mouthful of blood, utterly severely injured.
"What is happening!" Concern flashed in Lord Ba Dao’s eyes, quickly approaching Zhuge, stuffing a healing pill into Zhuge’s mouth, slightly recovering Zhuge’s color.
However, everyone’s eyes showed surprise; Long Yu looked at Ye Feng, saying, "Feng Ye, it turned out exactly like you said; the killing formation really repelled the medicine field’s array, causing an explosion!"
Everyone disdainfully looked at Zhuge, blaming his excessive arrogance for not listening to Ye Feng. Had he listened, things wouldn’t be so embarrassing now.
At this time, Zhuge Qingsong’s face was gloomy, feeling utterly displeased, shaking with anger.
Lord Ba Dao looked at Zhuge and asked, "Brother, how are you? Can you continue?"
Zhuge Qingsong, with a look of helplessness, "No more, I’m too heavily injured; I need ten days to recover before continuing to break the array." Lord Ba Dao felt rather helpless too, "Zhuge, you should have listened to Feng Ye..."
"It’s all because of you!" Before Lord Ba Dao could finish, Zhuge shouted angrily, glaring at Ye Feng, "I could have broken the array; you disturbed me! Ba Dao, if not for him, I would have cracked the array already! Given another chance, I will surely succeed.
But I have fury in my heart; I must vent this frustration, and you should teach this kid a lesson! My request isn’t excessive; he likes to speak up, so tear that dog mouth of his for me!"
No one expected Zhuge to be so disgusting; Ye Feng kindly reminded him. Instead of being grateful, he now blamed Ye Feng for his meddling after failing.
