Servant Saves The Master
Arrays are one of the killer methods that the Hidden Sword Court has relied upon and mastered to survive The once weak Hidden Sword Court had always utilised arrays to win against strong opponents By relying on arrays, the Hidden Sword Court could even allow many of its disciples who had yet mastered the foundation of cultivation to ical powers This would allow the their strength in nu cultivator could defeat a strong opponent
Furthermore, there are countless arrays that exist Each array has its own use and characteristics Hidden Sword Court has a total of ninety-nine thousand eight hundred and eleven arrays, but enuity in applying these tactics depends on hard thinking, such as the Warfare Array thatreal look like an illusion and vice versa
But a arrays, there will always be a weakness, and this weakness is the centre of the array Hence usually, those who are the strongest would protect the array's centre This hy the first thing that Su You did was try to target the centre of the array first If they were to conquer the centre of the array, the rest of the arrays would not be able to function These , but if the teaed to focus their attack on the centre, the array formation could be stopped
However, what Su You would never expect was that he put too much trust in his Grand Senior Brother's words He assuo, never in his dreams would expect that this was a combination of intricate and interlinked arrays
Four hundred years ago, the universally recognised Array Master An Conghai described the mechanism of the arrays in his book, A Lecture About Arrays, which went like this, “Those that control the centre of the array, controls all arrays in the world The beholder of the centres understands the key to the array,itsThose who are foolish would leave the strong soldiers to protect the centre; Those who are cunning would hide the centre fro in a genius two in one solution”
As for the centre of the array's flaw and weak spot, those who are foolish would position their most important and powerfultheir opponent, “This is the centre, please come and attack it” Whereas a smart person would leave the centre of the array in a random spot, a place where it would leave no suspicion
For a person isdo an illusion, a fake centre would be placed Tricking the opponent to use all their strength to destroy the fake centre, and designing it so that when the fake centre has been activated by touch, the true centre would unleash its full power Using the fake centre to drain the opponents' strength, then unleashi+ng the real centre of arrays' true power Killing two birds with one stone
But there was a enius than the rest Because the fake centre also contains a weak point to be destroyed That would drain its opponents' strength and resources, only then the true centre would be activated, showing its true forenius level of this was the deception, to intentionally let the opponent believe that the fake centre is the real array, and while the opponents believe they had successfully conquered the centre and lured into the middle, the true array would successfully be activated, unleashi+ng a continuous and interchangeable array to defeat the opponent
Therefore, by using these h the arrays may just be a tool, a person's mind is flexible When parts of the array are embedded to the floor, they are not able to move anymore, hence this was the most important factor in how to layout an array One must lure their opponents to the centre, then unleash the mechanis them unable to escape
But the enemies are not stupid, they wouldn't idly wait at the most crucial area of the array's layout They would usually try to snatch and prevent the castor fro to defeat or conquer the centre
Henceforth, only array n a 'continuous array' layout such as this! This array in Yanjian Hall was one of the genius array methods — The Five-Partied-Demon-Sword Array!
This array in itself does not contain iical power, but it could combine and evolve into seven different arrays At the sae between six other types of arrays However, the scariest part was that when this array is activated, it would ath of its lehandedly amplify a cultivator's skills from the first heavenly level to the fourth heavenly level, levelling them up to three levels A cultivator with the skills with the third heavenly level could be amplified to the fifth heavenly level Whereas, one that possessed the skill of the fifth heavenly level could be upgraded to the sixth! Their poould be amplified tenfold as well!
The stone statues before theth, physical defence and ical defence had all been amplified by threefold If one were to co abilities had been amplified to more than tenfold
Su You and the rest of the tea these stone statues had become Their eyes were clouded with despair The confidence in them to clear this level had lost
These stone statues suddenly charged towards the Instantly they broke down and started to run away!
As they reached the gate, they realised that it had been shut tight by a large and heavy bolder No matter how hard they rammed it or how hard they tried to split it in half with their swords, it would not even budge!
“Grand Brother Senior! Please! Open the gates!” screa that a stone statue had already appeared behind him, ready to slice his head open
Blockhead immediately pulled Su You away If not for his keen senses, Su You's head would have already been sliced in half
Hearing the loud crash, they realised that one of the stone statue's swords had sliced into the stone boulder However, it was stuck so tight that it could not pull it out
