Chapter 128

An Array Within An Array

Chengfeng was stunned at the sight as he thought to himself, 'These stone statues are alive? Are you serious? Did they really have to make it so challenging?'

This was the first time that Chengfeng had met such an opponent, one that was not alive but a mechanised stone statue! He was dumbfounded by the challenge, how was he going to fight this? Even with the Grim Stork, he knew which critical point to hit it. But as for the mechanised stone statue, was there even a critical point?

Chengfeng gritted his teeth as he held onto his bone spear and was prepared to charge, but just as he was about to, someone started to scold him loudly, “Get out of the way! Move!” Chengfeng looked to the owner of the voice and realised it was the Su You, who had helped him before.

Chengfeng was furious, but he knew that he genuinely did not know the trick of this challenge. With a swift kick to the floor, he immediately tried to jump further back from where he stood.

With Chengfeng's one kick, Su You quickly snapped at him as he shouted, “Don't f*cking jump so high, are you looking for death?! Do you want to die?!”

As Chengfeng was suspended in mid-air, he noticed that these five stone statues had turned their attention towards him. The double swords on each of these statues began to aim towards him. In a flash, ten swords flew from their grasps and were charging against him like lightning in unison. Chengfeng's facial expression turned to shock, as he was still in mid-air, he could not dodge it in time. However, as if their hearts were connected, Chengfeng quickly looked towards Xiaobao, only to realise he was already rus.h.i.+ng towards his direction.

Xiaobao's speed was as fast as lightning, his movements were far quicker compared to Chengfeng. Before he was only one step away from Chengfeng, Xiaobao immediately turned around, his hand grabbing the edge of Chengfeng's clothing and pulled him towards the opposite direction as hard as he could. Chengfeng flipped his body, successfully dodging eight of the ten flying swords. He quickly wielded his bone spear while his body flipped, and with a slash, he narrowly blocked off the remaining two flying swords that he had failed to dodge before tumbling onto the floor.

Chengfeng's hands trembled violently as he held onto his bone spear, the force that flowed from those flying swords had exceeded his imagination. Force with such velocity was definitely frightening, as he had used almost all of his strength to dodge the two swords. The impact had led his arms to feel numb, which made him unable to lift them for a brief second.

“These stone statues are strong!” exclaimed Chengfeng as he made eye contact with Xiaobao. The two of them were secretly scared, their backs drenched in a cold sweat.

But something that made Chengfeng even more frightened had happened! With the wave of their stone hands, those ten swords that had pierced into the stone walls immediately flew back into each stone statue's grasp!

It was at this moment that Chengfeng experienced the real strength of these seemingly dull statues.

Ignoring Chengfeng, Su You shouted towards the others. The rest of the cultivators from Hidden Sword Court wielded their swords one by one, unbothered by what had happened to Chengfeng. “Blockhead! Hurry up and s.n.a.t.c.h the front-middle array! Do not let them arrange their array successfully!” commanded Su You.

Without making a sound, the tall and broad man named Blockhead quickly wielded his ma.s.sive sword and charged towards the middle. His physique was big and burly, the ground shook lightly with every step he took. Furthermore, it felt as if with every step he took, the ground shook a bit more than the last time.

Chengfeng watched as Blockhead charged to the middle of the stone room, tackling the stone statue that stood was situated at the front. Blockhead swayed his ma.s.sive sword, colliding hard with the two swords from the stone statue that slashed towards him at the same exact moment. The stone room echoed a loud and deafening clanking as the two large physiques were blasted back in their opposite directions.

Blockhead let out a groan, a small stream of blood flowed from the side of his mouth. The stone statue was blasted five meters away from where it once stood, however, the cracked floor had stopped it from landing any further. The stone statue stood tall if it received no damage.

Su You quickly commanded, “Tianjun and Zuofei, you two will go s.n.a.t.c.h the front-left! Tongqiu and Yibai! You two conquer the front-right! Blockhead! We will s.n.a.t.c.h the centre of the array!”

Chengfeng bewilderedly watched them at the side, trying his best to follow up with their strategic plan. But he had never encountered an array before, so how could he possibly know what Su You was talking about?

Centre of the array? Why the centre? Does that mean that it's the weak point of the array?

Chengfeng watched as the six of them started to do the tasks they were a.s.signed to.
