C79 (2/2)

Since Maki Chen had decided to cover them as they escaped, then he definitely would not let any mishap happen to them. With a furious roar, the Purple Thunder around his body churned, shattering the ice cones that were about to fall to pieces.

Some of the icicles still pierced through the dense layer of lightning, and some of them either cut through Maki Chen's skin or pierced directly into his muscles.

Immediately, pain transmitted from the wound to his brain, causing Maki Chen to have a sinister expression.

Even though the strength of the body after training would far exceed that of an ordinary person, it was still a mortal body after all. One could not use the body to block the attacks of the icicles, nor could they be immune to pain.

The area covered by the ice cones was not small. Maki Chen endured the intense pain he felt as he charged out of the Extreme Ice Confinement Formation's perimeter. Following which, the lightning condensed in his palm and turned into a rope, shooting towards a disciple of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets who had already bypassed him.

Immediately after, Maki Chen increased the power of the lightning, and in the next moment, he saw this person's body flicker, and then sway back and forth before collapsing onto the ground, releasing a burnt smell from his body.

Maki Chen did not stop his attack. After he retracted the lightning whip, he turned the lightning into a spear and rushed towards the next disciple.

Being so close to Maki Chen, the disciple immediately panicked. Just now, the image of Maki Chen controlling the countless thunder blades was still lingering in his mind, and he was unable to get rid of it. Now that he was facing Maki Chen head on, he had no intention to fight.

Seeing that the person had the intention to avoid the attack, Maki Chen increased the speed of his attacks. Every time he swung the Thunder Spear in his hand, it would pierce towards the opponent's vital points.

After Maki Chen escaped from the extreme ice trap array, Jia Yue had been looking for a chance to set up a second formation, but he didn't expect this guy to directly fight his own junior brother in close combat. If he used the formation's power, he would definitely harm his own junior brother.

Jia Yue's face was pale, his feet moved like the wind, and rushed towards Maki Chen. Since he could not use long-range methods like formations, he could only use a close-range killing technique to clear away this problem.

Kid, if you have the guts, then fight me head on!

Maki Chen replied and turned to look, only to see Jia Yue flying quickly towards him. In a moment, he was already in front of him, and following that, Jia Yue threw three Spirit Stones at Maki Chen.

Spirit Stones were essential items to set up the formation. Simply put, they were Primordial Stone s with attributes. For example, the Spirit Stones that were just used to set up the extreme ice trap array already had ice attributed energy.

Maki Chen had a certain level of understanding towards formations. To put it bluntly, formations were similar to runes, it was just that formations could only be formed based on the rules of arranging spirit stones. Then, with the support of the spirit energy of the person who cast the formation, the effects of formations could be unleashed.

There were only two ways to restrain an formation master. To shatter a spirit stone directly, or to destroy its arrangement!

As Maki Chen was dealing with that Heaven's Secret disciple, a short blade condensed in his left hand. Under the control of his spirit energy, he shot it out fiercely, colliding with one of the three spirit stones!

Clang!

After a crisp sound, a spirit stone left its trajectory and fell onto the ground. The formation that should have been triggered, was forcibly broken by Maki Chen.

Jia Yue did not expect Maki Chen to have some understanding about formations, so when he used the array, he did not intentionally hide the trajectory of the spirit stones, which was why he gave Maki Chen the opportunity to do so.

Not simple, kid. You won't have that much luck after this! Lin Ruo, push it away first!

Lin Ruo, who was the disciple from the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets who was fighting with Maki Chen in close combat, widened the distance between them at the fastest speed possible after hearing Senior Jia's order.
