"That's true. We're all here for the treasure. We haven't even seen the real treasure yet. There's no need to fight and let some reckless kid take advantage of it." Jiang Wancheng nodded.
"Then how do we break this array?" Niu Jin frowned.
"The easiest way to break the Five Elements Formation is to have all five elements. Give me a minute and I'll be able to break it." Wu Fei was full of confidence. He looked at one of his subordinates and said, "You have the Power of Fire in your body. Go to the Fire Formation."
"Yes!"
The man nodded and immediately flew to the position where the word "Fire" was carved.
"Use the Power of Fire." Wu Fei smiled.
Soon, the man channeled his Qi into the Fire Formation.
However, there was a sudden change. In the direction of the fire, a wave of cold air suddenly rose up, instantly freezing that person. Then, with a bang, that person completely turned into a pile of broken ice.
"This …"
Everyone took a few steps back, their faces filled with fear.
Wu Fei's face turned red, and Sword Prison Cheng, who was beside him, glared at him.
"I was wondering how powerful the geniuses of the Imperial City are. It turns out they're just so-so." Jiang Wancheng smiled.
"Don't just talk about us. Come and break it if you can." Wu Fei said angrily.
"Fifth Young Lady, you're proficient in arrays. Why don't you do it?" Jiang Wancheng looked at the Fifth Young Lady and said.
The Fifth Young Lady nodded with a confident smile on her face.
"The five elements are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. Generally speaking, the mutual reinforcement is a defensive formation, while the mutual restraint is a killing formation. Everything just now proved that this is a mutually restraining killing formation, so we must also use a mutually restraining method to break this formation."
"Is that so? Fifth Young Lady, please break the array." Wu Fei said disdainfully.
The Fifth Young Lady fixed her eyes on Jiang Wancheng and said, "Brother Jiang, you have the Power of Ice in your body. You can go to the Water Formation."
"I …"
Jiang Wancheng looked fearful. He looked at one of his subordinates and said, "Han Qi, you also have the Power of Ice in your body. Go on my behalf."
"This … this …"
"Don't worry. I'll make sure you don't die." The Fifth Young Lady said confidently.
"Hurry up, or I'll kill you with one slap." Jiang Wancheng roared.
"Yes!"
The man called Han Qi walked up to the Fire Formation Platform, trembling. Then, he activated the power of ice in his body.
However, a sudden change occurred. After the formation platform absorbed Han Qi's power of ice, a yellow cyclone rose up, and then Han Qi's feet turned into soil.
Petrification!
What was even more terrifying was that this situation was still spreading. Zhou Yang estimated that in less than a minute, Han Qi would become a stone man and then collapse.
"Haha … I was wondering how capable you were. Turns out you're nothing more than this," Wu Fei said with a laugh.
"Don't worry, this is just the beginning. Don't forget that breaking the Five Elements Formation requires five steps." The Fifth Young Lady didn't panic at all. She just said lightly, "Water restrains fire, and earth restrains water. This situation shows that the Five Elements Array Platform has two layers of restraints. It's very easy to solve them."
At this point, the Fifth Young Lady looked at Niu Jin and said, "Wood restrains earth. What we need now is …"
"You need a martial artist with wood attribute, right? Unfortunately, I don't have one here. "Niu Jin sneered.
"Wrong. If it's wood attribute, then the power activated on the platform must be gold, which is useless to break the array. What I need is earth attribute, and Sect Leader Niu is of earth attribute. Now, jump onto the Wood Formation Platform."
"I won't be a scapegoat. Old Eight, you go." Niu Jin glanced at a disciple next to him and said.
"Yes!"
The disciple was very straightforward. He immediately flew onto the Wood Formation Platform.
Boom!
The moment the disciple jumped onto the Wood Formation Platform, two flames rose into the sky and instantly burned the two people on the platform into carbon.
"This …"
For a moment, everyone took a few steps back and looked at the two carbon men above in horror.
The Fifth Young Lady's face was also pale, and her original confidence was gone.
"Fifth Young Lady, you're really stronger than me. I only killed you, but you killed two people." Wu Fei said and laughed.
"Hmph, the process of turning Han Qi into stone was very slow. It means that my first step was right, but the second step …"
"Fortunately, your second step was wrong. Otherwise, I'm afraid that more than two people would have died," Jiang Wancheng said unhappily.
"Everyone, stop arguing. Let's continue to think of a way to break the array." Ding Su glanced at the two people.
Soon, everyone fell into deep thought again. Only Zhou Yang looked calm.
"How about …"
After a while, Zhou Yang finally opened his mouth. However, before he could finish his words, someone else interrupted him. This person was Wen Xiyu.
"Why don't you let me try?"
"You …" Zhao Yinqing looked at Wen Xiyu with disdain.
"I've been familiar with the books of the great array masters since I was a child. I have a certain understanding of the mutual promotion and restraint of the five elements. I think I have a way to break the array." Wen Xiyu glanced at everyone and stopped on Zhou Yang. She looked somewhat proud.
"In that case, Miss Wen, please tell us your idea. How about we try it?" Tie Xing said with a smile.
Wen Xiyu nodded and walked to the edge of the platform. She said, "The five elements restrain each other. The first step of the Fifth Young Lady's method of breaking the array is indeed correct. However, this only means that the first step is the mutual restraint of the five elements …"
Everyone nodded and waited for Wen Xiyu to continue.
"As for the second step, when an earth-attributed warrior steps onto the wood-attributed platform, the power of fire will be stimulated. The reason for this is the mutual promotion of the five elements. Because wood gives birth to fire, I guess the second step should be the mutual promotion of the five elements …"
"Miss Wen, do you mean that the second step should be the mutual promotion of the five elements to derive the power of wood?"
"Yes!"
Wen Xiyu proudly raised her head and looked at Zhou Yang provocatively. She then said, "In the first step, the five elements restrain each other and produce the power of earth. In the second step, we should use the mutual promotion of the five elements to derive the power of wood. Since water is wood, we can find someone with the power of water to step onto the platform."
"What about the third step?" Zhou Yang asked with a smile.
"Well, the third step is the mutual restraint of the five elements. After completing a cycle of mutual promotion and restraint, the array can be broken. Why? Do you think I'm wrong?" Wen Xiyu stared at Zhou Yang and said.
"You can only know if you're right or wrong after you try. But, you might die if you try. I have an idea …"
"Shut up, Zhou Yang. You have an idea. In terms of experience, you are not as experienced as the leaders of the evil sects. In terms of knowledge, you come from a remote place. So, you must know your limits. Don't be presumptuous just because you have some fortuitous encounters," Tie Xing said with a look of disdain.
"That's right … Moreover, you are a dying man. Maybe you want to use this method to kill us and drag us down with you," Wu Fei also said in a sarcastic tone.
"If that's the case, then … please go ahead," Zhou Yang nodded and said.
"Hmph, Zhou Yang, you will soon know that my method is absolutely correct …"
