331 Eight-Doors Golden Lock Formation (1/2)
”Wind!”
A black flash shot out towards Luo Puti, powerful and unstoppable.
*Klang!*
*Klang!*
*Klang!*
The swords that were aimed for Luo Puti's back were repelled; and the blades that had been closer to her were broken in two by Chen Xiaobei.
”Nice one, saber!”
Luo quickly showered her attention on the black saber that just saved her life.
”What about me? I think the guy that used the saber to save your life is a nice guy too!” Chen grinned and gave her a wink.
”Well. It is a nice saber, there's no doubt about that! Its sharpness could very well be on par with the Nine Swords of Domination! It is such a shame that an asshole like you wields it!” Luo retorted, glaring at him.
She was prepared to thank him, but he had to ruin everything by giving her that wink. Unable to tolerate that ego of his, and simply decided to skip showing any gratitude.
”I deserve something better for saving your life!” Chen Xiaobei pouted. ”Without an asshole like me, you'd be dead!”
”Fine! This is no time to argue! Go back, this is too dangerous for you! And I don't have the time to babysit!”
”I know you're actually quite sweet. But your tongue can be a little bit sharp sometimes!” Chen Xiaobei smiled, and grasped her hand. ”This battle is really nothing to me! Follow me and I'll show you why!”
”Tut! Please stop acting tough! How are you going to win when I can't?!” She rolled her eyes at him coldly. ”Let me go! Don't even think of taking advantage!”
”Dummy! You have great combat power, but sometimes a smart brain is better!” Chen Xiaobei said, keeping his grin.
”Are you saying that I'm stupid?” Luo Puti glared at him icily as she snarled. She was the famed prodigy of Dragon City! The Almighty Luo Puti! And he had just called her dummy! There's little wonder that she's ready to explode at his partner.
”They are fighting in the Eight-Doors Golden Lock Formation! It was designed to destroy enemies from eight sides!” The subordinate inspector did not bother stopping to argue with her and simply led her by the hand. ”The Eight Doors are Rest, Life, Hurt, Block, Shadow, Death, Shock, and Open!” He explained. ”Just like the Taichi Eight Diagram!”
”Eight-Doors Golden Lock Formation? It was described in the Tales of Three Kingdom… I didn't know it was real!”
”Of course it's real! Didn't you notice that the Copper Soldiers have stopped attacking us?” Chen Xiaobei laughed.
Using his Lightning Steps to move around the arena, he trotted along according to the pattern of Eight Diagram, holding Luo Puti's hand all the while.
Despite possessing the skill known as Eight Diagrams of Godly Prediction, Chen Xiaobei rarely used in fear of incurring God's wrath! Still, he had figured out how it worked a long time ago; the secret of breaking this formation was within the Eight Diagram itself!
Within moments, all eight hundred Copper Soldiers turned into a bunch of broken puppets. They began to run around without a direction, and their attacks had stopped for some time.
”Unbelievable…”
Shocked, Luo Puti pursed her lips and asked: ”Are you confident enough to break this formation?”
”Of course! Not one to brag, but I'm a master when it comes to the mechanism of Eight Diagrams. Anyone else are thrash!” Chen laughed proudly. ”Of the Eight Doors, we would get hurt if we enter the Doors of Hurt, Shock and Rest! And we will die if we enter Block or Death – therefore, Life, Shadow and Open are the answers!”
