Ji Tianxing had dabbled in formations since he was young, so he was not unfamiliar with them.
The Ji family was a family of blacksmiths, so they would use formations in the weapons and equipment they forged.
When Ji Tianxing broke into the family's forbidden area, he had seen the formation set up by the Ji family's ancestor with his own eyes.
Thus, he had some experience in setting up formations and breaking them.
He stood at the edge of the formation and calmly observed the ground and the 16 bronze puppets, looking for a way to break the formation.
The ground was paved with thousands of black stone slabs. It was flat and neat, and he could not see any abnormalities.
He could not see any clues from this chessboard-like ground for the time being, so he focused all his attention on the bronze puppets.
He carefully observed for a while and found some patterns.
The 16 bronze puppets had similar appearances, but the weapons in their hands were different.
Moreover, their attack range was five meters. As long as he stepped into this range, he would be attacked.
They walked back and forth on the chessboard. Although it looked disorderly, there was actually some kind of pattern hidden within.
Most importantly, Ji Tianxing found that there was a bronze heart-protecting mirror on the chest of each bronze puppet.
There was a word engraved on each heart-protecting mirror!
Some were engraved with gold, some with wood, and some with water, fire, and earth.
Other than the words metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, there were also a few puppets with heaven, earth, and man engraved on their heart-protecting mirrors.
Ji Tianxing furrowed his brows and pondered seriously.
He vaguely felt that the words on the heart-protecting mirrors might be the key to breaking the formation.
"Heaven, Earth, Man, Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth — a total of eight words.
"There are 16 bronze puppets here, and every two puppets have the same word … Could there be a mystery behind this?"
Thus, Ji Tianxing focused on observing the paths of the bronze puppets.
Not long after, he found an interesting phenomenon.
A bronze puppet with the word 'gold' on its chest was aimlessly walking on the chessboard.
A puppet with the word 'heaven' on its chest was walking towards it. It brushed past the puppet with the word 'gold' and continued walking.
However, when that 'Gold' puppet encountered another 'Gold' puppet, the two of them actually turned around and walked away at the same time.
Seeing this scene, Ji Tianxing couldn't help but frown and ponder silently.
"Gold and Heaven have nothing to do with each other, so when these two puppets brushed past each other, there was no reaction at all."
"However, two golden-character golden-character puppets would not meet each other. Instead, they would turn around and leave after meeting each other."
"Could it be that puppets with the same name cannot stay together?"
With this thought in mind, he stared at the puppets and continued to observe.
It wasn't long before that 'Heaven' puppet encountered another 'Heaven' puppet.
In the end, just as Ji Tianxing had guessed, the two 'Heaven' puppets immediately turned around and walked back when they were about to meet.
This discovery shook his spirits, and he revealed a playful smile.
"So that's how it is. There is indeed a pattern."
"I just don't know what will happen if two puppets with the same name meet."
Ji Tianxing was somewhat eager to give it a try. He stepped into the formation again and rushed forward.
At this moment, the bronze puppet on the left was walking towards the center, and the distance between them was rapidly closing.
On the breastplate of this bronze puppet, there was the word 'Water'.
When Ji Tianxing had rushed eight meters away, he was just five meters away from it.
That bronze puppet immediately sped up and rushed over, brandishing its spear and thrusting it towards Ji Tianxing.
"Swish!"
The thrusting spear was extremely powerful, and its speed was unbelievably fast. It actually produced a sharp sound as it pierced through the air.
Ji Tianxing didn't bother with it at all, and continued to rush forward without stopping at all.
That 'Water' puppet immediately chased after him. Its pair of bronze feet stepped on the stone floor, producing muffled 'peng peng peng' sounds.
Although Ji Tianxing was running away with all his might, avoiding the pursuit of the 'Water' puppet, his eyes were fixed on the other hand.
However, his eyes were fixed on another puppet not far away. There was also the word 'water' on that puppet's Heart Protecting Mirror.
He just wanted to take a risk and see what would happen if the two puppets with the same word bumped into each other.
Seeing that the 'Water' puppet behind him was about to catch up to him, it brandished its spear and thrusted it towards him again.
At this critical juncture, he burst forth with all his strength to escape, and rushed straight towards the 'Water' puppet in front of him.
When he was only five meters away from that 'Water' puppet, that puppet also sped up and rushed over, brandishing its huge meteor hammer to launch an attack.
Ji Tianxing was pincered by the two 'Water' puppets, and immediately fell into a dangerous situation. The slightest carelessness would cause him to be seriously injured.
However, the two puppets were still ten meters away from each other, and he still couldn't dodge.
His expression became grave, and he instantly made up his mind.
"Sword Driving Technique!"
He activated four flashes of sword Qi, and formed a sword art with both hands to control the sword Qi. He condensed a sword net of flowing light to protect himself.
"Thump, thump, thump!"
Amidst the heavy footsteps, the two 'Water' puppets fiercely rushed over, raising their spears and meteor hammers high up, and smashing them down towards him.
At this moment, the two 'Water' puppets were still six meters away from each other.
The spears and meteor hammers smashed down at the same time, and fiercely hit the flowing light sword net.
"Ding Ding Ding!"
A series of crisp sounds of metal clashing burst out. The flowing light sword net was smashed into pieces, and the sword Qi burst out in all directions.
Ji Tianxing saw that the two puppets were only four meters away from each other, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.
"Now!"
He shouted in his heart, and immediately jumped three meters away, dodging the spears and meteor hammers by a hair's breadth.
"Bang!"
The two 'Water' puppets were charging at such a fast speed that they couldn't stop. They immediately collided with each other, and a muffled sound burst out.
Then, a surprising scene appeared.
After the two 'Water' puppets collided, they weren't repelled by the rebounding force, but actually disappeared at the same time!
Ji Tianxing fell on the ground three meters away, and stared at this unbelievable scene with his eyes wide open. Instantly, a smile appeared on his face.
"After the two 'Water' puppets with the same name collided, they actually disappeared at the same time!"
"I see! This is the way to break the Illusory Weapon Xuan Formation! "
He was excited, and said to himself with a heart full of excitement.
At the same time, another two 'Bronze Puppets' approached him, and broke through the five-meter attack range.
Those two 'Bronze Puppets' suddenly sped up, and waved their heavy sword and halberd to attack Ji Tianxing.
Ji Tianxing had found the way to break the formation, so of course he wasn't afraid of the siege of those two puppets.
He saw that the 'Fire' and 'Earth' characters were engraved on the Heart Protection Mirrors of those two puppets.
Thus, he found another puppet with the word 'earth' on it and rushed over as fast as he could.
After a short while, the two puppets caught up with him, and launched an extremely violent attack.
The other 'Earth' puppet was also alarmed, and quickly rushed over.
Ji Tianxing was trapped in the siege of three puppets, but he didn't panic.
He repeated the same trick, and skillfully closed the distance between the two 'Earth' puppets.
Then, with a muffled sound, the two 'Earth' puppets collided with each other, and disappeared on the spot.
