Chapter 152
The Fall of Formations
Chenngfeng saw Grand Senior Brother He walked up to hi, he said, “Grand Senior Brother, earlier there was a senior from Hidden Modesty Court who had a bone to pick But I-uh- we chased him away,”
Grand Senior Brother was speechless, his eyes drifted towards Tongqiu and Yibai who stood du about them? These two aren't even wanted by the Hidden Brocade Court as dogs or slaves They're useless! What makes you think they can beat someone from Hidden Modesty Court?”
Tongqiu's and Yibai's faces grew red with embarrassment and lowered their heads
Although Chengfeng looked down on the two of them, the words of the Grand Senior Brother were particularly harsh Chengfeng said, “Grand Senior Brother, the commandments of the Hidden Sword Court states that you must not insult your peers!”
Grand Senior Brother said icily after a pause, “Peers? Well that depends if those tould consider you their peer!”
Chengfeng took a quick glance at Tongqiu and Yibai He thought to himself, 'Well these two are unreliable, they're sellouts!'
Grand Senior Brother continued with a scoff, “What makes a peer? A peer is someone you can trust with your life on the battlefield! A peer is someone ill sacrifice their life for you at a ardless of how much bad blood between them, a peer is someone ill unconditionally believe in you! Them? Are they even worthy?”
Grand Senior Brother subconsciously clenched his fists, there was an intense gaze in his eyes It was as if he recalled the years when he was at his prime
Back then, his energy was explosive, the Heavenly Thirteen Swords was renowned across the world, and their sword formations were unrivalled
Upon launching their sword fories and minds are linked Every move they hting an unseen eneuaranteed their victories!
Chengfeng mulled over his words, and then asked, “So… are there any of those peers left in Hidden Sword Court?”
The question left the Grand Senior Brother speechless, and the intense gaze he had gradually softened
Chengfeng continued, “How about the Spiritual Mountain Sect? Any of those peers you're talking about?''
Grand Senior Brother sone! None of them in the Sect or even the entire community of cultivation!”
But what Chengfeng didn't realize was that Grand Senior Brother's words signalled the end of an era: the era of spell arrays!
When the Heavenly Thirteen Swords was at its prih they coincided with the peak of world's top cultivators, formations and arrays were seen as the best er, more powerful opponent After the fall of the Heavenly Thirteen Swords, the era of forreater, more sinister issue: the issue of distrust!
It's the same as how not all cultivators could entrust every matter to others around them It's just like what Qin Mieqin said about the chain of trust, as long as there is even the slightest doubt or distrust in the chain, the system will eventually crumble!
Ironically, trust was the ile It could be unbreakable, but at the same time, it could be easily destroyed!
For at Yanjian Hall, everyone could see the opponent's fighting state, therefore trust was easily fostered
However, with large scale formations, even those that stretch beyond tens of kilometres in terms of dia state If someone within the formation was in fear or in doubt, it would result in casualties, or even deaths on the battlefield Thus, the formation falls and is rendered useless There are even times when simply because the formation fell, cultivators died on the spot simply caused by backlash of the formation's collapse!
This hy the era of spell arrays had ended! After all, the only person you completely trust, is yourself!
There was pain in Grand Senior Brother's eyes, but he quickly collected hiaze and said sternly, “You're late for class, go and receive your punishment!”
Chengfeng laughed, pretending to not know, “What punishment?”
