A red light shot up into the sky, trapping Hundred Flower Fairy and Gu Lingyao within the array. Qin Shuirou was lucky enough to escape a bit faster than the two girls, or else the three girls would have been trapped within the array.
The sudden change caused Xiao Chen's expression to darken. At the same time, Chen Ling also spoke up. "It's a killing array …"
There were many array formations in the world, and they were of different grades. Their power differed greatly, but generally speaking, array formations could be divided into four categories according to their different functions: killing array, trapping array, illusory array, and support array formations.
Needless to say, killing arrays were the arrays with the strongest offensive power. Trapping arrays were mainly used to encircle and trap people. Illusory arrays could make people hallucinate. As for auxiliary arrays, they were generally healing array glyphs. Being in an auxiliary array would allow a cultivator to recover faster from their injuries. Of course, there were also auxiliary arrays that could enhance one's strength.
At this time, Bai Hua Fairy and Gu Lingyao were trapped in the red array formation. Although Chen Ling did not understand what this array formation was, he was sure that it was a killing array.
Being trapped in a killing array was the most dangerous thing, and the slightest mistake could cause one's life to be in danger.
Hearing Chen Ling's words, Xiao Chen did not hesitate. He immediately took out a talisman from his storage ring and shot it at the killing array formation.
As everyone knew, there were only two ways to break array formations. One was to be a Formation Master and use techniques to break array formations. But if you were not a Formation Master and were not proficient in array formations, then you could only use brute force to break array formations.
There were two ways to break array formations with brute force. The first was to use one's own powerful attacks to break array formations. The second was to use a high-grade talisman to break array formations.
Both of them used brute force to break the talisman array. However, the difference was that the talisman used to break the array had to be of a higher grade than the talisman used to break the array. Only then could the array be broken.
In comparison, using high-level talismans to break talisman arrays was the most mainstream method at present.
He shot out a Battle Talisman. The Battle Talisman slammed into the Formation and exploded. The Talisman Formation that trapped Flower Fairy and Gu Lingyao trembled slightly, and its red glow dimmed a little.
It was useful. Seeing this, Xiao Chen threw out three similar talismans in a row. There were four talismans in total. Moreover, these four talismans were all at the Saint level. It could be said that each of them was very expensive. An ordinary cultivator might not be able to obtain these four Saint level talismans in their lifetime.
From beginning to end, Xiao Chen had used up a total of seven Saint level talismans to forcibly break open the talisman array, allowing Flower Fairy and Gu Lingyao to successfully escape from danger.
Using talismans to break array formations was not a big deal, but it was too expensive. Thinking about it, Xiao Chen had used up seven Saint level talismans just for this one talisman array. An ordinary cultivator would not have so many Saint level talismans.
It should be known that Saint level talismans were very precious. Moreover, they were usually in the hands of the major sects. If an ordinary cultivator wanted to obtain a Saint level talisman, it could be said that they would go bankrupt. Once they obtained a Saint level talisman, they would usually treat it as a trump card for registration and would not use it lightly.
Apart from the Holy Sons of the quasi-sage sects like Xiao Chen, who had the confidence to use talismans to break array formations, others could only wait for death once they were trapped in array formations.
After the talisman array was broken, Gu Lingyao rushed into Xiao Chen's arms and hugged Gu Lingyao's delicate body. Xiao Chen gently comforted her. "It's okay, it's okay now."
While comforting Gu Lingyao, Xiao Chen also looked at Fairy of a Hundred Flowers and smiled gently at her as a form of comfort.
It was a close call, but no real danger. However, the group obviously had to be more cautious for the rest of the journey. At the same time, the speed of their progress became even slower.
After all, no one knew where the talisman arrays were hidden. Once they were triggered, it would be very troublesome.
However, even though everyone was extremely careful, there were too many talisman arrays. Moreover, they were hidden extremely well and were difficult to detect. Therefore, Xiao Chen and the rest quickly triggered the second talisman array and trapped Chen Ling within.
Being trapped by the talisman array again, although Xiao Chen's heart ached, he did not hesitate to use Saint level talismans and forcefully break this talisman array.
This time, Xiao Chen used a total of eight Saint level talismans. Just two talisman arrays cost Xiao Chen 15 Saint level talismans. More than half of the talismans that he had accumulated over the years were used up in an instant.
Using talismans to break a talisman array could be understood as a competition of resources. Moreover, under normal circumstances, the party that broke the array would definitely have to pay a higher price.
For example, a Talisman Formation Master might require five talismans to set up a Talisman Formation, then the party that utilized talismans to break the Talisman Formation would at least require seven or eight talismans of the same grade or even higher in order to be able to break open the Talisman Formation.
Frankly speaking, it was a competition of wealth, a competition of who was richer, a competition of who possessed more talismans. But just think about it, if one were to compete with a Talisman Formation Master in the number of talismans, then one would probably be courting death and tired of living.
A Talisman Array Master was not necessarily a Talisman Array Master, but a Talisman Array Master was definitely a Talisman Array Master. Every Talisman Array Master had to learn how to draw talismans. This was the most basic thing.
Along the way, numerous arrays soared into the sky. Xiao Chen and the others were constantly trapped within the arrays. Every single one of them had been trapped by the arrays before.
In order to break these arrays, Xiao Chen and the others quickly used up all their talismans. Not only Xiao Chen, but Long Qing, Chen Ling, Qin Shuirou, Hundred Flower Fairy, and Gu Lingyao had all used up all their talismans.
Without talismans, they could only rely on their own strength to force their way through. However, it was clearly extremely strenuous for them to forcefully break through the arrays with their strength.
Under normal circumstances, at least two to three people would need to attack at the same time. Moreover, they would need to attack at least twice in a row to be able to break open a gap and allow the trapped people to escape.
After using up all their talismans, the Spiritual Energy in their bodies was also rapidly depleting. In order to break through the last layer of array defense, Xiao Chen and the others could be said to have used all sorts of methods.
The only thing worth rejoicing over was that the arrays that they had encountered so far were not too high-level. At the very least, they had not encountered a Divine Array. Otherwise, with their strength, it would have been very difficult to break through.
There were no Saint Grade Talisman Arrays set up here. However, this was quite normal. After all, the Sky Expanse Sect had perished and they naturally hoped that the inheritance they had left behind would be passed down. Therefore, the three layers of Talisman Array defense around the Sky Expanse Sect were more to test the challengers than to kill them. Therefore, it made sense that there were no Saint Grade Talisman Arrays set up here.
