Chapter 1268 Siege and Killing
There isn't even a dedicated sect specializing in formations.

The main reason is...
Not much use.

People in the martial arts world are quick to settle scores and fight or kill at will; scheming and plotting are for the younger generation.

The older generation, being older, just take action directly, to hell with your schemes and tricks.

This has led to the fact that very few young people know how to form formations.

Some old folks know how, but they're too lazy to use it.

Ultimately, a formation must be driven by one's own will, rather than being set up and waiting for others to enter and do whatever they want.

Moreover, the formation must be set up in advance to lure the opponent in.

Unless someone is meticulous and goes to great lengths to prepare in advance, and then arranges a series of schemes.

Otherwise, this thing called a formation.

Tasteless!

There is another reason.
Meaning
It's not a continuous source.

Just as the old blind man finished speaking, Yu Taohua cleaved open the spot with her sword, and suddenly an invisible black piece fell down.

But as the black pieces fell, it seemed as if something was missing from the forest.

"Your eyes are blind, and your strength has declined too!?" Zhang Zi's voice rang out from all directions.

The old blind man stood on the tallest tree at the outermost edge of the forest, one hand behind his back, his body hunched over. He gently raised the other hand, facing the forest, and chuckled softly, "So there was another grand formation, which even trapped me. No wonder I couldn't see it clearly. Tsk tsk, impressive, Zhang Cefang. If Danxian were here, I'm afraid this old fellow would have severed his connection and would have saved your life, taking you back to Longhu Mountain Pass for the rest of your life."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Cefang, also known as Zhang Zi, cursed without hesitation, "Fuck your mother!"

The old blind man laughed and scolded, "Look at you, a scholar, why are you getting so worked up? We were trapped inside your formation, and we weren't even worried. Besides, when was this set up? It doesn't look like it was set up in less than a month or two. Did Wu Qinhu set it up for himself when he came?"

Zhang Cefang is actually very close to the old blind man, but in the formation, he is everywhere and nowhere. This is the principle of "the darkest place is under the lamp".

He did not answer the old blind man's question.

When Wu Qinhu arrived, the moment he was startled awake in the middle of the night, he immediately began to think about setting up an array to save his life.

Over the years, his keen intuition has saved him many times.

At that time, Zhang Zi actually wanted to leave, but he knew very well that he had been entangled with the old blind man and could not leave at all, so it was better not to leave!
But you must leave yourself an escape route.

at the moment
Zhang Zi looked from behind the tree at the old blind man who was very close by.

He can't kill the old blind man.

Just as the old blind man couldn't do anything about him.

"This isn't your real form, is it?" The old blind man lowered his head, facing Zhang Zi who was looking at him.

Zhang Zi's expression froze for a moment, but the next moment the corners of his mouth turned up. He had considered several possibilities in his mind, and being discovered by the old blind man was naturally among them.

The old blind man laughed and said, "Although I can't see it, your grand formation, the Seven Emotions Extinguishing Formation, contains four types of formations for hiding and escaping: Body Swap, Concealment, Qi Concealment, and Boundless. Once you put these four types of formations inside, the other three are formations that combine offense and defense, and are not worth mentioning. Now it's your turn to make your move."

The moment the old blind man finished speaking...
boom!
Three trees collapsed with a loud crash.

Zhang Zi was not surprised at all that the key elements of his three formations had been removed.

When it comes to knowledge, the old blind man is unparalleled.

Zhang Zi glanced at Yu Taohua, who was standing on the hilt of the greatsword staring at him, and then looked at the old blind man: "I know why you must kill me! But don't you want to know who Lushan is! And where those Zoroastrians are hiding, and what exactly Dian Junming, Wang Mang, and Yao Zhi'en are trying to do?"

"And most importantly, what is the King of Shu really thinking! I know all of this!"

Upon hearing this, the old blind man chuckled softly: "Are you stalling for time? Have you used formations elsewhere as well, or are you trying to divert our attention by trying to escape the formation?"

Zhang Zi frowned: "There are so many people playing chess in Shu. The King of Shu, Wang Mang, and Dian Junming are all involved. Even the youngest general, Yao Zhi'en, is more cunning than Xia Tingyu. Fang Wenhe or you can see through him."

When Zhang Zi got to this point...
Zhang Zi couldn't help but turn his head to look at Yu Taohua's direction.

Yu Taohua not only raised her little finger at him, but also spat.

And the next moment.
A magnificent sight!
A large sword suddenly rose up from behind Yu Taohua!

It was a greatsword formed from countless swords combined together, and before it even raised its head, it fell straight down towards him!
The old blind man spoke up: "These formations are exquisitely arranged, and their skill far surpasses mine. But... you've probably forgotten that if these things were useful, no one would have stopped learning them. If these things were useful, Li Yunxian would have been subdued by the older generation long ago, and she wouldn't have been killed by him with a single sword strike."

The last word was uttered in that instant!
The giant sword fell right before his eyes!
The sword energy, formed from countless sword lights, exudes a powerful sword intent.

But in the instant of the fall!

A line visible to the naked eye appeared in the forest!

None of the trees fell, and no terrifying ravines appeared; only lines that were completely out of place in the forest appeared.

as predicted!

That piece of paper is fake too.

But the old blind man just smiled and asked, "Did you feel it?"

Yu Taohua squatted on a treetop next to the old blind man, picked a leaf and put it in her mouth, then looked up at Zhang Zi, who was running away at the other end of the forest: "Hmm, just as you thought, there is that thing, but it is indeed difficult to kill. He was able to dodge my sword strike on his own, he has some skill. But... is it because of that thing that you have been waiting for the old poisoner to come?"

The old blind man nodded: "Yes."

Then, the old blind man said with a smile, "It's your turn to make a move! You can't move until this game is finished."

The old blind man's voice was as resonant as a booming bell.

Zhang Zi had a gruesome wound on his body, and blood had stained half of his body red, making his face pale.

But upon hearing this...
Zhang Zi's expression froze.

As he turned to look at where the old blind man and Yu Taohua were, he suddenly realized something and immediately looked up!

Suddenly, a chessboard appeared in the sky.

The black piece has already fallen.

Clearly, the white pieces will continue.

意境
The feeling of the old blind man! This is the feeling Zhang Zi experienced when he first met the old blind man.

But just as Zhang Zi was about to turn around and rush out of the woods, ignoring all of this, he could clearly feel as if something was covering him.

But it was in that very instant!
Zhang Zi immediately stepped back!
This moment!
Someone missed with one palm strike, but instead struck a large tree. The tree was unharmed, but the tree behind him suddenly collapsed.

Wu Qinhu merely glanced at Zhang Zi's appearance before opening his fist stance and throwing a punch at Zhang Zi!

Upon seeing this, Zhang Zi immediately turned to the side.

A punch slid across Zhang Zi's front.

Wu Qinhu was stunned for a moment, because although he had clearly hit the target, the shot missed.

Wu Qinhu's lips curled up. Zhang Zi's footwork? Interesting!
Ignoring everything else, Wu Qinhu swept his fist across!

But Zhang Zi had already retreated several steps!
But Wu Qinhu had already caught up and was right in front of Zhang Zi.

But it's time to make a move.
Zhang Zi, however, found himself standing on a large tree, panting heavily, his body trembling slightly and covered in sweat.

Wu Qinhu looked at Zhang Zi: "A peerless master, truly a peerless master, but does he really have it inside him?"

Zhang Zi looked at Wu Qinhu. He could easily have dodged the attacks just now, but the problem was that he was struggling now.

Without maintaining the grand formation, he was completely trapped by the old blind man's intent!
But if we continue to maintain this state, it will be even more difficult for me when Wu Qinhu comes again!
"Yes, there is. It should have been obtained from that girl Youzhu."

But just as Zhang Zi was staring at Wu Qinhu, he heard this voice in his ear.

Zhang Zi's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately turned around to look.

But in that instant when I turned around...
Zhang Zi sensed something, and without turning his head, he jumped forward.

But then a foot appeared in front of him, accompanied by Yu Taohua's words: "Go to hell!"

boom!
One kick!
It stepped directly on Zhang Zi's face.

Zhang Zi landed directly on the ground!
But the instant the object landed!
In the instant Zhang Zili sprang to his feet, he was about to turn around and run away.

"Roar!"

A roar suddenly resounded.

Zhang Zi's mind seemed to fluctuate for a moment. Wu Qinhu's beastly roar was a roar that specifically devoured the intentions of others and disrupted their minds.

Zhang Zi paused for a moment, then looked up.

The old poison master was right in front of him. "You think you can escape?"

Zhang Zi's expression froze.

But just as he was about to turn to the side...
Wow!
The old poisoner's hand had already pierced through his abdomen.

Zhang Zi's eyes widened, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Then he looked at the old poison master and said, "If I die, Xia Ruoyun will die too."

The old poison master said coldly, "The Heart-to-Heart Gu. Do you think the blind old man would specifically gather the three of us, plus that dog, to kill you, the blind old man to trap you, and the Tiger-Catching Chaos would make me remove the Gu, while the dog would be responsible for biting people."

"I feel like you're being a bit disrespectful to me! You can't just not give me an explanation!" Yu Taohua said directly to the old poison master.

Wow!
The old poisoner withdrew his hand, and Zhang Zi was immediately thrown to the ground.

The old poisoner was holding a caterpillar-like worm in his hand.

Blood kept gushing from Zhang Zi's mouth as he lay on the ground.

The old blind man slowly walked up to Zhang Zi: "If it were a chaotic world, you might really have become a strategist in a chaotic world, or even a figure like Lü Zi. I wouldn't kill you then, but would let my apprentice have a good competition with you. But unfortunately, the celestial phenomena have changed, and the fate of the Great Xia has been restored, so you can no longer live. In a prosperous world, there is no place for you strategists. Especially in this prosperous world."

Zhang Zi looked at the old blind man: "Lushan. Lushan."

The old blind man sighed and shook his head: "It doesn't matter who it is, we're all going to die anyway. Zhu Huang's army is coming soon."

Zhang Zi's eyes suddenly widened in surprise, then slowly lost their focus.

Really
unimportant?
Having said that, the old blind man ignored Zhang Zi and instead looked at the old poisoner: "What do you mean?"

The old venomous creature spoke up: "The snake was given to Her Highness the Princess, and we'll see her take it out of her brother's stomach."

As he spoke, the old poison master glanced at Zhang Zi, who was already dead on the ground, shook his head and said, "He made my Gu Immortal Sect like that, it's too easy for him to die."

After saying that, he tossed a bottle of medicine to Wu Qinhu: "Give this to the princess's younger brother. Don't worry about that snake, it will come to me on its own."

Wu Qinhu looked at the old poisoner: "You're leaving already?"

The old poisoner grunted in agreement.

Yu Taohua slashed Zhang Zi's neck a few times with her sword, severing his head. She then looked up at the old poison master and asked, "Where are you going?"

The old poison master replied, "In the capital, clean up the mess left by the Gu Immortal Cult."

Yu Taohua immediately ran over excitedly: "Then wait for me, let's go together! But can we pick up my wife, son and daughter along the way? I want to show my wife around!"

Upon hearing this, the old poisoner turned to the old blind man and said directly, "I'm not going. I'll go back with you guys."

Yu Taohua pouted, standing there looking at the old poisoner, feeling discriminated against!

Wu Qinhu chuckled softly, then frowned: "I'm going to Tingyu's place; she should be making her move soon too."

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhang Zi's corpse on the ground.

Another senior member of the older generation has passed away.

But I don't seem to have any particular feelings about it.

He should have died long ago!

The old blind man chuckled: "Peach Blossom, come help me up. I'm getting old, and all this commotion has made my legs hurt."

……

Xia Tingyu was riding a tiger, and at that moment he was at the gate of Xia Ruoyun's mansion.
