The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 3128 Formation Attack
"Damn it!" Chen Mo frowned, took out another bottle of diluted spiritual liquid, and gulped it down. The formation was activated again.

"Heavy pressure! Illusion array! Mental shock!" The triple array attack directly struck the black shadow within the array.

With a loud "boom," the array attack enveloped the dark figure.

However, to everyone's surprise, the shadowy figure swung the white stick in his hand and forcefully neutralized the attack, as well as the attack that was impacting his mental sea.

Then the dark figure leaped up again, swung it in the air, and smashed the stick directly onto the array barrier!

With a loud "boom!", the barrier flashed with light, consuming a large amount of spiritual energy.

Even when attacked, the white mist in the formation paused abruptly before spreading out again to fill the area that had just been violently breached.

Chen Mo was startled again by the blow. It had instantly depleted more than half of the spiritual energy in his formation, forcing him to desperately channel his true essence to replenish it. He hadn't expected this dark-skinned man to be so powerful.

Its approximate strength should be at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, or even the early stage of the Golden Core stage.

However, since he had never actually seen a Golden Core cultivator, he could only make an estimate. He had encountered a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator before, namely Bian Xiu, but he felt that Bian Xiu was slightly weaker than the dark figure before him.

Therefore, he deduced that the dark figure was probably at the early stage of the Golden Core realm.

Therefore, he absolutely cannot go out and fight head-on. He must use formations and talismans to deplete the guy's true energy.

Without hesitation, he drank a few more mouthfuls of spiritual liquid and then channeled his true essence to replenish the spiritual power that had just been consumed in the formation.

However, the shadowy figure didn't give Chen Mo time. Seeing that the previous attack had no effect, it began to swing the stick in its hand and start attacking the array barrier.

All attacks aimed at him, whether they were heavy pressure, wind blades, mental piercing, lightning attacks, or illusion array attacks, were all broken through by him. He rushed to the array barrier and launched a rapid attack on it.

The formation's attacks were nothing to the shadowy figure; as long as the defense was in place, the attacks would have no way to break through it.

Overall, while the formation was useful to the shadowy figure Du Xing, its effect was limited, merely restricting his range of movement and line of sight. However, Du Xing possessed a powerful divine sense for scanning, and had it not been for the suppression of the valley's grand formation, he might have already broken through it.

His divine sense had a range of over two to three meters, so the array's attack was detected and intercepted before it even reached him. Finding the array's barrier was easy; he could simply rampage through it, and once his divine sense detected the barrier, he would swing his staff to attack.

With a series of "boom boom boom!" attacks, the array's energy was being rapidly depleted. In some cases, when Chen Mo's spiritual energy couldn't be replenished in time, some array nodes were exposed from their concealment due to insufficient spiritual energy and were then attacked.

"Damn it!" Chen Mo's face was somewhat ugly. He hadn't expected the black shadow to be so powerful. It was also because his formation level was not high enough to trap this guy. If the formation level was a medium-level formation, then this guy wouldn't have been allowed to run rampant inside the formation.

However, he is currently only at the beginner to intermediate level in formations, which is why this situation has arisen.

However, the attacks continued unabated, and Chen Mo dared not stop to replenish his spiritual energy. He could only fight one to expend energy while the other replenished it, seeing who could ultimately outlast the other.

Unexpectedly, although the shadowy figure Du Xing was relatively weak in formations, he was not a complete novice. At least in the past, he had some knowledge of formations.

So, while his actions appeared reckless and impulsive, he was actually quite deliberate. He had already discerned that this was a composite formation, but only a beginner-level one. Although it was a mid-level formation within the beginner level, it couldn't quite restrain him. Therefore, his reckless actions within the formation were also a search for a point to break it.

After several consecutive attacks, the array barrier was revealed, and even the alien beasts attacked by the illusion within the array showed signs of regaining their senses. Chen Mo had no choice but to reluctantly take out a primary spirit stone and put it into the array's central control.

In an instant, with the replenishment of spiritual energy, the formation calmed down again, causing the beasts that were about to awaken to fall back into the illusion.

But at that moment, the shadowy figure, Du Xing, chuckled and said, "Little guy, I've found you!"

Indeed, as Chen Mo stabilized the array's spiritual power and replenished it with a spirit stone, the array nodes lit up one by one, revealing the location of the array's central control point.

With a sudden burst of speed, it rushed towards the location of the formation.

While his divine sense was scanning, when it encountered a barrier, he suddenly swung the staff in his hand, increasing the output of his true essence.

With a loud "bang!", the entire barrier collapsed under the blow!

The previous swing of his staff, though powerful, was merely a combination of his own strength and a small amount of true energy. But this strike was different; it contained far more true energy, and combined with his own power, it directly shattered the array barrier.

Then, he charged again, and upon encountering the barrier, he swung his staff once more, delivering another powerful blow that broke through the array barrier.

In just a few breaths, the shadowy figure Du Xing broke through five layers of array barriers in succession. As a result of this impact, several nodes of the composite array were exposed, and the spiritual energy of the entire array was consumed even more rapidly.

Chen Mo felt a little flustered; this was a situation he had never encountered before.

The dangers we encountered in the past weren't really dangers, since we were able to control them; they were crises rather than real dangers.

But this time was different. The guy who was surrounded by layers of formations broke through the encirclement and rushed in after brute force.

The final layer of the array barrier is right in front of him. If this guy breaks it, then Chen Mo will be exposed to this person. What the hell should he do?

Although he was anxious, his hands moved quickly. He continued to use the restrictions to replenish the array with spiritual power, while using his divine sense to scan his Qiankun bag, thinking about what he could use to deal with the dark figure.

He didn't know the shadowy figure was called Du Xing; he only knew that the figure was dark-skinned and had a face like a dried corpse, so he nicknamed the guy "Shadow".

One sip of spiritual liquid wasn't enough, so he took out a pill to replenish his rapidly depleted true essence.

Today, I'm going to challenge you, you ugly monster, and see who gives in first.

If you have the strength, then break through and come in. I'm not afraid of you being human!
