Elder Wu Ming and Elder Fu looked at each other, and their faces darkened.
The Ancient Yan Taotie Rune combined with the other runes to form a nearly perfect trapping array. The power of all the attacks of those trapped in the array would be absorbed by the Ancient Yan Taotie Rune. Not only would they not be able to break the array, but they would also transfer their power to the array, making it even more indestructible.
In this way, there was only one way to break out of the formation.
That was to continuously attack the formation with their own power in order to reach the limit. Eventually, they would break the formation with a huge amount of energy, causing it to collapse.
But now, not only the Ancient Taotie Pattern, but even the eight metal obelisks that formed the formation were not ordinary materials. Even if Elder Wu Ming and Elder Fu joined forces, it would be difficult for them to break through its capacity. Moreover, this was not a simple trapping formation, but a killing formation.
Once Elder Wu Ming and Elder Fu desperately attacked the formation and tried to break it with their own power, the formation would absorb their attack power to strengthen the attack of the black lightning spear.
As long as they failed to break the formation in one fell swoop, the formation's attack would only become fiercer and fiercer. As their spiritual power was consumed, they would only become weaker and weaker. This was a process where the enemy was strong and they were weak.
Therefore, the best way to deal with it now was not to take the initiative to attack, but to passively defend and wait for rescue.
"What should we do?" Elder Fu was a little hesitant.
"There's no other way. We can only attack without caring about the consumption. We still don't know what the situation outside is like. We can't wait here for rescue," Elder Wu Ming said.
"Then let's do it. We'll go all out!"
Elder Fu also knew that this was the only way, so he rolled up his sleeves and planned to go all out.
But at this moment, the two suddenly heard a muffled thunder-like sound coming from underground, and then the whole ground began to shake violently.
"This is …" Elder Fu said in surprise.
"It seems that there are reinforcements attacking the formation. We don't have to waste our energy. Let's wait and see." Elder Wu Ming was also delighted.
The two immediately stopped attacking and only focused on defense for the time being, no longer counterattacking.
…
The bottom of the secret chamber had been hollowed out, forming a huge hole. Inside, eight huge metal obelisks could be seen piercing through the dome.
Compared to the part that pierced out of the ground, the part below was the main body of the formation. The inscriptions inscribed on it were even more complicated. They also flickered with light, but there was no lightning.
At this moment, there were seven or eight corpses lying haphazardly in the underground space. Only two people were left standing.
One of them was a young man who was holding a sword in one hand. His clothes were corroded, and his hair was disheveled. He looked a little miserable. Naturally, he was Shen Luo.
The person who was confronting him had a slightly stooped body under a loose black robe. She held a walking stick in her hand and had a head full of silver hair. She was the old woman under Che Qingtian, Nanny Yu.
"Such a large underground cave can't be dug in a short period of time. During these two days of the competition, did you secretly send people here to dig a hole and set up a formation?" Shen Luo's chest rose and fell slightly as he asked.
"That's right. So what if you know? I thought that only John Doe was in the secret chamber. I didn't expect that even Elder Fu was in there. This time, I killed two birds with one stone," Nanny Yu sneered.
She narrowed her eyes and stared at Shen Luo with a hint of fear in her eyes.
Among the few people brought by Che Qingtian, her cultivation was not high. She had just broken through to the Late-stage of True Immortal. However, she had always been meticulous and was good at inscriptions. Therefore, Che Qingtian asked her to do this secretly.
She thought that everything was ready and only needed her to activate the formation. Then, she could catch Elder Wu Ming off guard and even kill him in the formation. However, she did not expect to meet Shen Luo.
In the beginning, Nanny Yu did not take Shen Luo seriously. After all, he was only at the Early-stage of True Immortal. Moreover, he was alone. She thought that she could easily defeat him.
However, as soon as the two of them fought, she found that Shen Luo was extremely decisive and ruthless. Moreover, he was very experienced in fighting with others. In just a few rounds, the people she brought to activate the formation were all killed by Shen Luo.
Originally, with these people, even if Elder Wu Ming and Elder Fu did not counterattack, they could still activate the formation by casting spells and increase the power of the formation until they killed the two of them.
However, it was obvious that they could not do it now.
"Why did you come to Tianji City?" Shen Luo stared at Nanny Yu and asked again.
"Of course, it's for the position of the City Lord. Otherwise, what else could it be?" Nanny Yu said.
"You think that you can't win the three tests of Tianji City, and that Che Qingtian is no match for Senior Young Master. Therefore, you used these dirty tricks." Shen Luo sneered.
"Bullsh * t, my master is the orthodox practitioner of the Art of Rest. How can he be no match for that unorthodox guy?" When Nanny Yu heard this, she was furious.
Shen Luo saw that his provocation worked and was secretly happy.
"Senior Little Headmaster is the leader of Tianji City and has brought the Art of Rest to greater heights. Your bullsh * t master is not even fit to carry his shoes. If you are really capable, why don't you dare to have a fair competition? Why do you choose to use such despicable methods when Senior Little Headmaster is in seclusion?"
"You … you, you are courting death. If it weren't for the fact that time is tight, we …" Nanny Yu was so angry that her lips trembled. Just as she was about to speak, she realized that she had almost been fooled by Shen Luo.
"You really have other plans." Shen Luo's face darkened.
"Hmph, so what if I know? You are all going to die today. "Nanny Yu snorted and said.
Then, she slammed the crutch in her hand on the ground. Some dust that was hard to be seen by the naked eye spilled out. In the empty space, a large amount of purple smoke suddenly appeared.
When Shen Luo saw this, he immediately understood that the reason why the old woman had said so much to him was actually to stall for time.
"Go to hell." Nanny Yu shouted angrily and waved her hand.
In an instant, the purple smoke began to roll violently and rushed toward Shen Luo.
Shen Luo focused his eyes and saw that the purple smoke in the air began to condense on its own. A ferocious human face first appeared, followed by four limbs and a torso, forming a purple armored soldier.
One of his palms reached into his abdomen and suddenly pulled outwards, pulling out a long saber with purple patterns. His other hand was wrapped in purple mist, condensing into a strange dragon head with a single horn.
"Is this also the Art of Rest?" Shen Luo saw this and could not help but be surprised.
After the purple armored soldier condensed into a figure, its speed suddenly increased several times. In a flash, it was in front of Shen Luo and slashed at him with its saber.
Wherever the saber light reached, there were wisps of purple light rippling. It directly cut a visible crack in the void.
