Chapter 166 - Seven-Section Swords Penetrated Five Elements (2/2)

“Formation?” Hao Ning was stunned when he heard it. An idea flickered in his mind, but it was very vague. “Listening to what he said, they used a formation to improve their sword energy, and gave it the power to kill or hurt?”

“It’s possible,” Liu Shuai nodded. “Five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth do not really include the sword energy, but what kind of formation do they use to improve the sword energy to have such lethality? Hao Ning? What are you stunned about? I’m talking to you!”

“You’re the master of formations. You should be asked!” Hao Ning stared at Liu Shuai and wondered how he could ask someone else. So, Hao Ning asked back, “don’t you know that I know nothing about your theologies?”

“Didn’t you listen to them? Is this a formation in the book?” Liu Shuai shook his head disapprovingly. “That is to say, the kung fu skill they learned should be a formation in a book that can improve their fighting power. You tell me. If I don’t ask you, who I should ask?”

“A formation in the book to improve fighting power…” Hao Ning understood Liu Shuai’s meaning and thought carefully with his eyes closed. Suddenly, a formation appeared in his mind. Hao Ning opened his eyes after thinking of it. He looked at Liu Shuai in surprise, and said with a trembling voice, “is it…Zhenwu Seven-Section Formation!”

“Zhenwu Seven-Section Formation?” At this time, let alone Nezha, even Liu Shuai and Zhou Yuan were a little confused, “What is this formation?”

“As it is said in a book, there is an extremely powerful formation…” Hao Ning said with a bitter smile, “it was created by Zhang Sanfeng in Jin Yong’s novel Relying on Heaven to Slaughter Dragons. The greatest feature of this formation is that the fighting power of it rises exponentially with the number of people in the formation. For example, if three people use it together, their power will be twice that of two people; if four people use it, the power will be equivalent to that of eight masters working together; if five people use it, the power will be equivalent to that of 16 people working together. Now they have seven people, which means…” Hao Ning hesitated here, “in fact, they are equivalent to sixty-four masters working together.”

“How could it be possible!” Listening to Hao Ning’s remark, Liu Shuai shook his head repeatedly. “Why don’t we know such a powerful formation?”

“Just because it’s too powerful…” Hao Ning agreed with Liu Shuai. “Jin Yong only allowed this formation to appear once, but it was hidden before it showed its power. Otherwise, how could he continue his novel? But from all the performances of these people just now, this formation is most likely to be what they use.”

“Very likely!” Although Nezha didn’t understand Zhenwu Seven-Section Formation, he nodded at Hao Ning’s description, “No wonder! How could the Root Praying Method have such a strong power? But if they use Zhenwu Seven-Section Formation, which is equivalent to the power of sixty-four people working together, the power, of course, will increase greatly!”

“And the apricot bamboo hat just now,” Zhou Yuan thought it over, and said, “they probably used this method to make the yellow light that had been broken by Xiao Hong hard again. So, they also used this method to improve the power of the sword energy and break the five-element protective spell boundary!”

“Maybe…” Hao Ning frowned and became more depressed when he knew the truth. “Zhenwu Seven-Section Formation is so powerful that we can’t break it even if we know it.”

“No, they’re starting to use Root Praying Method again!” Liu Shuai looked out and exclaimed.

Seeing that the seven people had finished their rest and started dancing around the seven flags, but this time their energies were not as good as before and their steps were much slower.

With the dance of these people, the originally gathered shape of Long Fei began to tremble again. Xiao Hong saw these people using the Root Praying Method again and gritted his teeth to stand up in a struggle to stop them. Who knew that the swords seemed to have rooted on the ground and Xiao Hong couldn’t move at all?

“What should we do?” Hao Ning looked at Long Fei’s trembling body and urgently asked Nezha, “do we have other ways?”

Nezha frowned tightly and shook his head, “Although these people are not very powerful, they have the apricot bamboo hat to protect them. So Universal Ring can’t hurt them.”

At this moment, along with the steps of these seven people, the bamboo leaf note that fell in the formation moved intentionally or unintentionally, as if it had been blown by the wind. But just after the bamboo leaf moved, the small flags planted on the ground, and the swords on Xiao Hong’s body also shook slightly for several times. These shocks were so subtle that these seven people even didn’t find them at all.

“What should we do? Should we…” Hao Ning naturally did not know these subtle circumstances. Suddenly he felt a strange as if a strong strength had been pulling him out. “Hey, what’s going on? Why do I feel someone is pulling me?”

“Brother, it seems a little hard this time?” One of them said as he stepped forward difficultly, “why is it so much harder this time than before?”

“Maybe we spent too much energy before,” the elder guy said with a gasp, feeling a little overwhelmed. “Get up your spirits and finish the task, and we’ll be rich!”

Speaking of this, these seven people quickening their steps, with the flag under their feet trembling even more.

“Hurry! Hold me!‒Ah!” Before Hao Ning finished his words, he already disappeared from the Virtualised Reality and appeared outside the next second.

“You…” These seven people were playing Root Praying Method nervously. Suddenly, there appeared one more person outside the yellow light. They were stunned, “Who are you?”
