Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 183: Breaking the Evil Formation

Mayor Xu passed on the command without any barrier and said: "Tian Peng Zhong Yang two Yin value Kan retreat one, Tian Rui three Yin value Kun Li two, Tian Chong one Yang two Yin value Zhen close to one, Tian Fu one Yin two Yang value Xun retreat one, Tian Qin value Zhong Gong Yin Guang, Tian Xin three Yang value Qian Ping Qi, Tian Zhu two Yang one Yin value Dui retreat two, Tian Ren two Yin one Yang value Gen close to one, Tian Ying Zhong Yin two Yang value Li retreat one,..."

The nine people redistributed their true energy according to Wuzhan's instructions. After the distribution was completed, nine colorful lights emitted from their right hands at the same time, connecting to their respective star positions. The nine stars immediately showed different colors and glowed differently. They then used their true energy to move the star positions and carefully reversed the star map, fearing that the slightest mistake would destroy their body and soul. After just the first star map, the nine people were already sweating profusely.

At this time, the quicksand seemed to be enraged. Instead of slowing down, it became even more violent, creating huge waves of more than ten feet high. It flowed and howled, and the speed of contraction increased significantly. The soldiers screamed and retreated desperately.

There was another burst of wild laughter from within the formation: "Once this formation is activated, even the gods from heaven will not be able to stop it. Just prepare to die!"

After hearing this, Mayor Xu questioned, "Are you sure you didn't remember it wrong?"

Wuzhan said calmly: "I have never broken this formation, so it is difficult to predict what will happen, but seeing that the nine people are fine, there should be no mistakes at the moment. This is a gamble, and I cannot guarantee success."

Xu Shi heard this and nodded slightly, "Please continue, sir!"

Wuzhan then repeated the password and layout of the second star map, and Xu Shi relayed it to them. The nine people reversed the star positions according to the law. This time, the amount of true energy consumed was even greater, and it took longer.

By the time the second star map was completed, the full moon had risen to the top of the array and the quicksand had rolled up to dozens of feet high. The nine people looked down from the top of the stele and saw that the remaining space in the array could not be smaller and only a black origin was left.

Seeing that the quicksand was getting more and more violent, Qingyang was the first to become suspicious. He had suffered a lot from Wuzhan before, and if Wuzhan took advantage of the opportunity to frame him, he would definitely not survive this time. However, he changed his mind and thought that if he could not survive, no one inside would survive either, so he felt a little more balanced.

At this time, Ying Zheng shouted: "Wu Zhan, are you sure this method is feasible? There is no other way?"

Wuzhan replied: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty. The flow was too strong before. After the stars went backwards, they could only drive the quicksand outside, which formed convection and caused the sudden expansion. This is a sign of reversing the quicksand."

"As you said, this formation can definitely be broken?"

"It's hard to say right now, but for your majesty's safety, I will do my best!"

After the third star map was twisted, the quicksand became furious to the extreme, roaring incessantly, and was about to submerge the top of the monument. Quicksand gushed out from time to time, turning the soldiers on the edge into bones, and other soldiers were crushed to death by the soldiers rushing behind, screaming in agony.

Everyone began to doubt Wuzhan, "Why is the quicksand becoming more and more ferocious? Will he be able to break the formation? This is not the time for him to show off. Stop it immediately. He must be in cahoots with that group of rebels. Kill him..." Angry and questioning voices rose one after another.

Jin Xingzi said angrily: "Shut up, you know nothing. If you keep making a fuss and accusing my little master, I will throw you into the whirlpool. Just be thankful. Without my little master, none of you would be alive today!"

Xu Shi watched the movement of the quicksand, then looked at the star map above his head, and shouted like thunder: "The quicksand is now reversing. Don't let it affect the censor's ability to break the formation. Anyone who makes noise again will be killed without mercy!" As soon as the words came out, the noisy sound stopped. Since the national teacher believed in Wuzhan, it seemed that Wuzhan must have real talent and skills.

After everyone calmed down, Xu Shi continued to relay Wuzhan's narration. The nine people had already experienced fighting and were injured. Their true energy was already insufficient. They could barely turn around the first three star charts, but by the fourth, they were exhausted. However, if they could not break the formation, they would not be able to escape death. They were all struggling to hold on and were unwilling to give up.

The nine true energies were sometimes strong and sometimes weak, the nine stars were sometimes bright and sometimes dim, and they slowly moved relative to each other. The star map began to slow down its rotation, and the rotating quicksand began to gradually weaken and turned into a low hum, and did not move inward any further.

Wuzhan said to Xu Shi: "The fifth star map is the most critical. It requires a lot of true energy to reverse the star map. If it fails, all the previous efforts will be wasted. I don't know if they can persist."

"This concerns the lives of so many people, I believe they will persevere!"

Wuzhan said calmly: "It is really touching to hear these words from the mouth of the National Master. In the eyes of the National Master, are the lives of us, the ants of the next generation, so important?"

Xu Shi was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Wuzhan and said, "This makes me confused. What are you talking about? Are we not all serving His Majesty?"

"I don't want to hear how those soul masters obtained it, but I heard it all. I'm just asking casually."

Xu Shi said: "I have rebuilt their immortal bodies to serve Your Majesty, but they don't know what is good for them and insist on turning into ashes. What a bunch of ignorant souls."

"So, in the eyes of the national teacher, we are all a group of ignorant ants. Our souls should be trampled on at will and we have no right to choose." These words were spoken lightly, leaving Xu Shi unable to answer for a moment.

Wuzhan continued: "Tianpeng three yin retreat two, Tianrui one yang two yin approach one, Tianchong two yang one yin advance one,..."

When the nine people were twisting the star positions, they clearly felt a huge force preventing them from moving. Qingyang, Ruogu, Jifeng and Qingyu's bodies were shaking constantly, and their true energy was almost exhausted. After a long time, there was no change in the star map.

Wuzhan said to Xu Shi: "Their true energy is already insufficient. If the Imperial Master does not help them now, then we will have no choice but to wait for death."

Xu Shi said: "How do you want me to help them?" "Inject the true energy in the Qiankun Yuxu Furnace into the meridians of the nine of them."

Mayor Xu hesitated for a moment and looked around. He had no choice but to raise the Jade Void Furnace again. He chanted the spell in his mind and the Jade Void Furnace slowly rose. When it was about to get close to the star map, it emitted nine rays of light with a 'swish' sound and shot into the qi sea of ​​the nine people. The nine people immediately felt their true energy replenished. With the support of the powerful true energy, the star positions slowly moved, making a thunderous sound and flashing lightning. The star map began to rotate slightly in the opposite direction, and the upper part of the quicksand also turned back, divided into two layers, gradually expanding downwards.

Wuzhan said: "Now is the time to complete the other three star maps in one go." He then gave the password for the sixth star map.

With the true energy provided by the artifact, the nine people only needed to move the star positions. The remaining three star maps also became much easier. By the time the eighth star map was moved, all the quicksand had flowed in the opposite direction under the influence of the star map. The central safe area began to slowly expand. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at this time. Their doubts about Wuzhe had long since disappeared and turned into gratitude.

Although the quicksand has reversed, if one wants to push down the Nine Monuments, they still need to continuously infuse them with true Qi to speed up the rotation of the star map. Therefore, these nine people still need to control the nine stars and must not relax.

The quicksand spun faster and faster, and its hum turned into a roar, crashing into the stone tablet, rumbling continuously and drowning out all other sounds.

Nine people sat cross-legged on top of the stele. Although they were protected by the stele, they still felt the strong wind cutting their faces. While circling the star map, they stimulated their body's protective Qi to resist.

Qingyang's body shook violently. He had only thought about breaking the formation before, but had not thought about how they would escape after breaking the formation. If the stone tablet collapsed, not to mention the quicksand, he would definitely not survive if he fell from a height of hundreds of feet. He acted cautiously, but was still ambushed by this kid in the end. Thinking of this, he shouted, "National Master, we were fooled by this kid. Once the formation is broken, how can we escape? If you don't give us a way to survive, we will never continue." The other seven people were also shocked when they heard this, but Miaoxin was calm.

Mayor Xu had not thought of this point. He frowned slightly and looked towards Wuzhan.

Wuzhan said calmly: "Try to ask him to stop."

Xu Shi said: "They have worked hard and made great contributions. Your Excellency should give them a way out, otherwise..."

"Of course, Imperial Master, don't worry. The stone tablet won't fall too quickly, so they have a chance to escape. But if they stop, they will surely burn themselves."

Mayor Xu conveyed Wuzhan's words, and the eight people felt relieved and continued to reverse the star map.

The full moon set in the west, the night sky faded, and the quicksand spun rapidly along the stone wall, hissing and whistling, reaching an extreme speed. The space in the formation was almost completely empty. The nine steles vibrated violently, and the nine people were blown by the strong wind. It seemed that if they were not careful and could not sit still, they would be blown into the sky.

'Swish...' Seeing that the quicksand was receding, it was difficult to hide his figure anymore, so he swung his sword and rushed out, as fast as thunderbolt. The enemies he met flew to both sides and screamed. He rushed straight towards Ying Zheng, determined to kill him with one sword, and the rest of them also followed him out.

Xu Shi stepped forward and condensed a red talisman with one hand to face Zhishui. "Boom" his true energy shook, and all the surrounding soldiers were blown away. He held the Xuanyuan Emperor Sword again with one hand, "Let's see how you escape this time." With the other hand, he condensed the energy into a sword and swept across Zhishui.

Zhishui rolled over to avoid it and tangled fiercely with Xu Shi. Ji Jie, Guantian and others also rushed towards Ying Zheng. The four imperial guards were not with Ying Zheng. Meng Yi led the royal guards to fight to the death, but it was difficult to stop the offensive of these masters. Just relying on the number of people, it would be difficult for those people to kill them in for a while.

'Crack... crack...!' The stone tablet could not bear the huge force of the quicksand at this time. The previously closed stone tablet began to crack. Then, the cracks became larger and larger. The nine tablets slowly opened outward like lotus flowers. The stone tablet tilted, and the quicksand like a raging wave rushed to the top of the tilted tablet and went straight up into the sky. The nine people hurriedly retracted their true energy, stopped super-controlling the star map, grabbed the talisman on the stone tablet, steadied their bodies, and lowered their bodies. The roaring quicksand was close at hand, as if it would destroy everything around it.

The evil formation was actually broken, and the survivors in the formation saw the dawn of the morning and were all excited. When they saw that the top of the stone tablet was about ten feet above the ground, Daoxuan, Miaoxin and others used their lifelong skills to jump down. When they landed, they ran more than a hundred feet away before they stopped the momentum and fell to the ground, without any strength in their bodies.

Xu Shi recalled the Qiankun Yuxu Furnace and smashed it at Zhishui. On the other side, Wang Ben led the Qin soldiers to surround Ji Jie and others.

Zhishui never thought that the fierce formation that even Chiyou couldn't break could be broken by Wuzhan. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, he shouted to Ji Jie: "My lord, let's flee from here now and make a long-term plan!"

Although Ji Jie was unwilling, it was meaningless to continue fighting. After using the "Tidal Wave", he pointed at Ying Zheng angrily and said, "You better live well, one day, I will kill you with my own hands!" After that, he led the "Zang Ding" members to break out of the siege and rushed to the valley entrance. Zhishui shook Xu Shi away and said sternly, "You are lucky today, we will see each other later!" After glaring at Wuzhan, he swung his sword to cover their retreat.

Wang Ben shouted, "Master, don't let them escape. Quickly order the valley gate to be closed!" But he saw three men in black robes standing on the gate in the distance, and realized that the guards had been killed by Fen Yuan.

Xu Shi sighed and said, "We can't kill them right now, so let them escape and we'll find a way to get rid of them later!"

The quicksand was blown away, the nine steles slowly shrank, the foot of Mount Li was in ruins, the fiery red sun rose from the east, and everyone felt like they were reborn. They were grateful to have broken through this ancient evil formation, and they were full of admiration for Wuzhan.

Suddenly, the sound of a piano came from afar, fresh and elegant, hard to find in the world, as if floating in the clouds, forgetting the mundane world. Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw a luxurious carriage parked on the top of Mount Li, and the sound of the piano was coming from the carriage.

When Mayor Xu saw this, his face changed, as if a disaster was about to happen.
