After all, Shen Tianfang was an experienced mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, and his cultivation level was infinitely close to the late-stage Golden Core. Naturally, those puppets, Star Beasts, and Sea Serpent Beasts could not compare to him. He immediately realized that he had fallen into a trap array.
Although Shen Tianfang was not particularly proficient in array formations, he had done some research and knew that blindly rushing in would only make him fall deeper and deeper.
Therefore, he quickly stopped. While keeping his guard up, he used his mental strength to investigate the array formation's situation, hoping to use his knowledge of array formations to find the array formation's flaws.
He had always regarded Xia Ruofei as a fish on the chopping board. He thought that under such circumstances, it was impossible for Xia Ruofei to escape. However, he did not expect that this cooked duck would not only fly away but also bite back at him.
This bite really hurt him.
Xia Ruofei was actually standing not far from Xia Ruofei, but he was in the eye of the array, while Shen Tianfang was in the trap array. Even if Xia Ruofei was close at hand, he could not see him.
Xia Ruofei looked at the livid Shen Tianfang, and his mood was very complicated.
Of course, he knew the cruelty of the cultivation world. In fact, wasn't it the same in the secular world? The law of the jungle was the same everywhere, but the secular world had established rules and legal constraints, while the cultivation world relied more on strength.
However, this was also the first time Xia Ruofei had seen a cultivator reveal his true nature.
He and Shen Tianfang had no grievances. On the way to the moon, they had lived in the same small spaceship for so many days. Xia Ruofei felt that the expedition team members should have established good friendships, including Shen Tianfang.
However, under the temptation of enough benefits, Shen Tianfang could forget all these.
Xia Ruofei was naturally not an easy person to deal with. If people showed him respect, he would respect them tenfold. However, if others had already started to take his life, then he would not be any more merciful than the other party.
What was more, Shen Tianfang was an elder with real power in the Tianyi Palace. Now that the two of them had become sworn enemies, it didn't matter who was right or wrong. What was important was that if Shen Tianfang went out alive, Xia Ruofei would face endless trouble. Moreover, he had a good relationship with Chen Xuan. If he turned against the Tianyi Palace and became enemies, even Chen Xuan would be in a difficult position.
Thus, the moment Shen Tian revealed his killing intent toward Xia Ruofei, the outcome was already decided.
Between the two of them, one of them had to stay in this small trial space forever.
From the very beginning, Xia Ruofei firmly believed that the person left behind would definitely not be him.
Now, he was standing not far away from Shen Tianfang. After watching him silently for a few seconds, he said, "Elder Shen, you said so much just now, but there is one sentence that reminds me of something. Killing people in this small trial space is really secretive. After going out, everyone will think that I was killed because I was not strong enough during the trial process, and no one will suspect me … "
Shen Tianfang suddenly turned his head and looked around. Under the effect of the array, Xia Ruofei's voice seemed to come from all directions. Shen Tianfang could not find Xia Ruofei's position through the sound at all.
He shouted with a ferocious face, "Xia Ruofei, I admit that I underestimated you! I didn't expect you to have a backup plan! "
Xia Ruofei shrugged and said, "I have always been a cautious person, and sometimes I am even too cautious. However, it turns out that being too cautious is better than being careless! If I hadn't been cautious today, I would have been dead on the spot! "
Xia Ruofei's words were naturally a little exaggerated, because he had the Spiritual Map Scroll, his last life-saving means.
But in terms of strength, Xia Ruofei was naturally stronger than Xia Ruofei. Without the help of the array, it would really be difficult for Xia Ruofei to defeat Shen Tianfang in a head-on confrontation.
And if it eventually developed to the point where he had to hide in the Ring-Tu space, it meant that the situation was very serious, and in this way, he would completely lose the initiative. Xia Ruofei could not guarantee that he could hide the Spiritual Map Scroll well in a critical moment and not be discovered by Shen Tianfang.
In fact, this possibility was almost zero. Shen Tianfang was an experienced cultivator. As long as he saw the Spiritual Map Scroll, he would definitely not be like the puppet with the strength of the Nascent Soul stage on the first floor of the Tower of Trials. He would not just store the Spiritual Map Scroll as a rare object.
With Shen Tianfang's experience, he could definitely see the preciousness of the scroll and even guess that Xia Ruofei was most likely hiding in the scroll space.
In that case, Xia Ruofei would really be trapped in the space forever. And Shen Tianfang could study the Spirit Map Scroll anytime, anywhere. There would be a day when this final protective barrier would be broken.
Therefore, the Trap and Kill Array left by Xia Ruofei could be said to be a stroke of genius, and now it had completely reversed the situation.
Shen Tianfang sneered and said, "It's too early for you to be happy! It's just a trap array! Can it make you arrogant to this extent? If you want to kill me, it's not enough to rely on this kind of array! When I find a flaw and break through the array, you will know what despair is! "
Until now, Shen Tianfang only felt that he was slightly passive, but the overall situation had not changed.
Xia Ruofei smiled faintly and said, "Feel despair? I'll give this opportunity to you! You will feel it soon … "
At this time, Shen Tianfang's figure suddenly rushed to the right behind him. He deliberately led Xia Ruofei to talk more, in fact, trying to find the real position of Xia Ruofei. Until he thought that he was sure, he suddenly launched an attack, wanting to catch Xia Ruofei off guard.
Xia Ruofei didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he watched Shen Tianfang rush to the other side and said, "I'm talking to you! You're so distracted, it's a bit disrespectful! "
Shen Tianfang's figure stagnated and stopped resentfully.
He naturally knew that his judgment was wrong, otherwise, how could Xia Ruofei be so calm?
Shen Tianfang snorted and said, "Don't be complacent! See how I break the array! "
After that, Shen Tianfang showed a pained expression. He took out a black ball from his storage space and looked around. Then, he gritted his teeth and threw the black ball to the left in front of him.
After the black ball landed, it made a violent explosion, followed by a burst of crackling sounds. Raging flames began to spread in that direction.
Shen Tian had obtained this black ball when he was exploring an ancient ruin. He had obtained a total of four, and he had used one for his experiment. Now, he only had three left.
Shen Tianfang didn't know the name of this black ball, but it was very powerful, much more powerful than the condensed energy bombs of the secular world. Moreover, the flames after the explosion were different from ordinary flames. It could reach a temperature of thousands of degrees, and even rocks could be burned and melted. If it was used to break the array, it could also greatly expand the range of destruction. As long as the basic materials of the array were destroyed, the array would naturally be on the verge of collapse.
Although the black ball completely fell in the air and didn't cause any damage to the array, Xia Ruofei was also shocked by the explosion.
The biggest difference between cultivators and those monsters and puppets was this. Especially for a veteran cultivator like Shen Tianfang, he always had some life-saving trump cards and methods that were impossible to guard against.
Xia Ruofei didn't know how many of these black balls Shen Tianfang had. If there were a lot of them, it would be a little troublesome.
As long as there were enough of them, they could even turn the entire array into a sea of fire.
Most of the materials used to set up the array were jade, wood, and other items. When faced with such an attack, it could really be destroyed.
This method of breaking the array was somewhat unreasonable and untechnical, but the effect was very good.
Moreover, Xia Ruofei did not know if Shen Tianfang had any other strange treasures besides this black ball. After all, he was a veteran cultivator at the Middle-stage of Golden Core, and his accumulation should not be underestimated.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei decided to end the battle quickly.
With a thought, he made a hand seal, and the attack mode of the Trap and Kill Array was immediately activated.
The black light, which had been used to deal with Star Beasts and Mirage Beasts, began to shoot at Shen Tianfang from all directions.
Because there was no illusion, Xia Ruofei didn't need to launch an indiscriminate attack. He could concentrate all the attacks on Shen Tianfang, so the black light became even denser.
Shen Tianfang was worthy of being the master of the Tianyi Sect whose cultivation was second only to Chen Nanfeng. Although his vision was seriously blocked, he still dodged as soon as the black light appeared.
However, the beams of light were simply too dense. They were simply airtight and came from all directions. It was as if there would be no end to them.
Shen Tianfang soon felt a little powerless.
At this time, he was very flustered because he didn't expect that this trap array had a hidden killing move. This was no longer a single trap array, but an advanced array with both trap and kill.
Shen Tianfang did not know how Xia Ruofei was able to set up such a high-level array. If it was an array flag given to him by his sect's elders, then it was still okay. But if he set it up himself, then his array skills were really shocking.
If Shen Tianfang knew that this trap and kill array was not only set up by Xia Ruofei himself, but also the principle of the structure was created by Xia Ruofei after he had mastered a lot of array knowledge, he would be even more shocked.
Now, Shen Tianfang had no time to think about other things. He could only try his best to dodge while thinking quickly about countermeasures.
Blindly dodging was definitely not a solution. Shen Tianfang soon found that the space for him to dodge was getting smaller and smaller. If he didn't make any changes, he might be hit by the black light at any time.
In desperation, Shen Tianfang could only reluctantly take out a magic treasure from the storage space. He hesitated for a moment and then suddenly opened the magic treasure. Although he was very reluctant, after weighing the pros and cons, his life was more important.
When this long magic treasure opened, it actually looked like an umbrella and directly opened up.
The black light fell on the umbrella-shaped magic treasure and made a clattering sound. Looking carefully, it only left some small marks on the magic treasure, and there was almost no damage.
In this way, the pressure on Shen Tianfang was reduced a lot. At least half of his body didn't need to worry about defense for the time being.
In the face of the black light flying toward him, Shen Tianfang sometimes dodged and sometimes waved his flying sword to cut the light away. He seemed to be more at ease.
Seeing this, Xia Ruofei also knew that the black light wouldn't be effective for a while.
However, Xia Ruofei didn't show up rashly. Instead, he continued to increase the attack power of the array. The black light became more dense, almost completely covering the sky.
After Shen Tianfang flicked away a black light with his sword, he couldn't help laughing. "Xia Ruofei, what other tricks do you have? Hurry up and use them! If that's all you have, then I'm sorry, but it's impossible to kill me! "
Xia Ruofei crossed his arms in front of his chest and stared at Shen Tianfang, who was shouting in the array. He didn't have the slightest intention to make a move or show up.
In fact, this was still Xia Ruofei's cautious approach. He was also worried that Shen Tianfang still had a backup plan, so he didn't show up rashly. In addition, he also hoped that this black light could exhaust Shen Tianfang's Essence Qi as much as possible.
For Xia Ruofei, maintaining this level of attack by the array was nothing more than consuming some Spirit Stones. In his Ring-Tu space, such ordinary Spirit Stones had already piled up into a small mountain. Usually, when Xia Ruofei cultivated, he disliked the energy of Spirit Stones because they were too low. Usually, he would use Spirit Crystals or even Essence Crystals. Therefore, Xia Ruofei actually didn't care about the consumption of Spirit Stones.
Xia Ruofei only needed to spend a few Spirit Stones, while Shen Tianfang needed to maintain a high level of concentration all the time. Also, constantly dodging the black light also consumed a lot of Essence Qi. Therefore, Xia Ruofei became very patient. He was waiting, just like a cheetah lying motionless in the grass. It might have found its prey.
Xia Ruofei was waiting for the moment when Shen Tianfang's Essence Qi was exhausted.
Shen Tianfang naturally knew that he would be very passive if he continued like this, but he had no choice now. He had to concentrate on dealing with the black light flying from all kinds of tricky angles. He had no time to study the array and find the flaws.
His Essence Qi was constantly being consumed unknowingly.
Shen Tianfang was also complaining in his heart, but he couldn't think of any good way.
Xia Ruofei looked coldly at Shen Tianfang, whose footsteps had begun to become a little unstable, and the killing intent in his eyes was not concealed at all.
He also took out the Qu Shuang Flying Sword and the Green Traveling Immortal Sword.
The Green Traveling Immortal Sword circled to the front of Shen Tianfang, mixed in the black light, and attacked Shen Tianfang at full speed. The momentum looked very scary.
For Shen Tianfang, this kind of attack was easy to defend against.
The flying sword controlled by his mental strength also floated up to intercept the Green Traveling Immortal Sword.
However, the frontal attack was just a feint. The real killing move was hidden in the Qu Shuang Flying Sword. This flying sword quietly sneaked to the back of Shen Tianfang, and when it was very close, it suddenly accelerated.
Shen Tianfang saw the Qu Shuang Flying Sword coming from the back out of the corner of his eye and couldn't help but shout.
Because the Qu Shuang Flying Sword was very hidden, and Xia Ruofei deliberately controlled it, Shen Tianfang didn't notice it at all. When the Qu Shuang Flying Sword also attacked him, it was too late for him to dodge...
