Chapter 2469: Chapter 2472: Consecutive Formations
Boom!
Just as Yan Hu and his two companions picked up the Necro Sphere from the array, a resounding noise erupted. The array’s light barrier was breached by the overwhelming necro spirits, swarming in like locusts from both sides.
Yun Hai and his companions’ expressions changed, instantly gathering around the halted Jiang Chen, weapons in hand, ready to fend off the necro spirits.
"Array, rise!"
At that moment, Jiang Chen shouted, performing the same hand seals once again.
The same scene reappeared, but this time, only a ten-meter radius was covered by the array.
Bang Bang Bang!
A series of attacks slammed into the array’s light barrier. The barrier trembled slightly but showed no sign of breaking; it only dimmed a little.
"Wow, Brother Jiang, your speed in setting up the array is incredible!"
Yun Hai exclaimed.
He glanced at the dense necro spirits attacking the light barrier, feeling a chill in his heart. If these necro spirits broke through, he had no doubt that the four of them would be torn apart before escaping the valley.
"So... Brother Jiang, how long can this array hold?"
Yun Hai asked awkwardly, looking at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen smiled slightly, "A Four Symbols Demon-Breaking Formation activated by a thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones, it only guards a ten-meter radius but can withstand these necro spirits’ attacks for a quarter of an hour."
"A quarter of an hour? What happens after that?"
Yun Hai exclaimed, his heart skipping a beat, staring intently at Jiang Chen.
"After a quarter of an hour, we won’t be here anymore."
Jiang Chen smiled slightly, then gently reminded, "Stay here."
Swish!
Spatial Shift!
Before Yun Hai and the others could respond, an aura of Spatial Path appeared, and Jiang Chen’s figure was already outside the array’s light barrier, in mid-air.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The moment Jiang Chen appeared, countless necro spirits charged at him.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
At the same time, Jiang Chen swiftly tossed out hundreds of spirit stones.
"Young Master!"
"Be careful!"
Yan Hu and his companions changed their expressions, Yan Hu and Yun Hai activating their spiritual power, their figures moving to rush toward Jiang Chen. The densely packed necro spirits were too terrifying; if Jiang Chen were hit by them, survival would be impossible!
"Wait a moment!"
Leng Li, who had been watching Jiang Chen, suddenly interjected, grabbing Yan Hu and Yun Hai who were about to leave the array’s light barrier.
Swish!
Just as the necro spirits were about to attack Jiang Chen, his figure vanished from the spot, reappearing a hundred meters away from the array’s light barrier.
Yan Hu breathed a sigh of relief, but his spiritual power remained at high intensity, ready to assist Jiang Chen at any moment.
Yun Hai let out a long breath, carefully observing Jiang Chen’s actions, a look of relief in his eyes.
"It’s a good thing we brought Brother Jiang to exchange spirit stones at the pavilion belonging to Wind Thunder Valley. Although Brother Jiang’s understanding of the Spatial Path isn’t deep, handling these necro spirits devoid of Spiritual Intelligence, driven solely by combat instinct, is manageable."
Yun Hai muttered to himself, but still felt a bit uneasy, "But I wonder whether it will still work in the Central Region against higher-level necro spirits!"
"Mr Jiang’s comprehension of the Spatial Path isn’t low; don’t forget that although Lei Ying died by the Sky-Cleaving Strike, before that, it was Jiang Chen using the Spatial Dao Power for teleportation that caught Lei Ying off guard."
Yan Li chimed in, "Though it was borrowed from the power surge of the Great Dao at that time, it still demonstrates Brother Jiang’s spatial comprehension is not weaker than a mid-stage Virtual Refinement Realm cultivator focusing on the Spatial Dao."
"What?"
Yun Hai’s expression changed, unable to believe Yan Li.
Yan Li didn’t look at Yun Hai but gazed at Jiang Chen, who kept tossing out spirit stones while moving, eyes gleaming, "With the strength of Divine Infant Realm Peak, comprehending a Great Dao not weaker than the mid-stage of Virtual Refinement Realm, and having mastered over six types of Dao, Mr Jiang’s talent is extraordinary!"
"This..."
Yun Hai was shocked, a trace of astonishment appeared in his eyes. Yan Li’s summary reminded him of a term, "Son of Heavenly Dao?!"
Suddenly, a stern aura rose around them, causing Yan Li and Yun Hai to turn and see Yan Hu staring coldly at them.
"Brother Yan Hu, don’t misunderstand us; we mean no harm!"
Yun Hai quickly explained.
Yan Li felt alarmed, a serious look appearing as he gazed at Yan Hu.
Yan Hu’s aura made even him feel a sense of danger.
Recalling the defeated Lei Xiong, Yan Li knew the quiet youth before him was not someone easy to deal with.
"Young Master’s identity has some taboo. You both should be aware; please don’t discuss it further!"
Yan Hu sternly reminded them, eyes fixed on the two.
"Alright!"
Yun Hai and Yan Li nodded.
Swish!
A figure appeared in the array, perceiving the tense atmosphere, Jiang Chen looked at the three questioningly, "What’s wrong?"
"Oh, nothing."
Yun Hai waved his hand dismissively.
"They were discussing whether you are the Son of Heavenly Dao!"
Yan Hu reported truthfully.
Jiang Chen paused, then chuckled, patting Yan Hu’s shoulder, "It doesn’t matter."
Yun Hai and Yan Li looked surprised, then felt a warmth in their hearts.
If Jiang Chen’s identity as the Son of Heavenly Dao was exposed, it would undoubtedly attract numerous major powers, along with endless troubles.
Jiang Chen’s attitude showed his trust in them not to reveal it, invoking a sense of gratitude.
"When gathering Necro Spheres later, act swiftly. This array is a Killing Array; following an attack, some vacuum spaces will appear. You handle gathering Necro Spheres; I’ll move ahead to set up a new Defensive Array."
Jiang Chen instructed softly.
"Alright!"
Yun Hai and his companions straightened up and replied firmly.
Receiving their response, Jiang Chen turned toward the rear, performing hand seals, "Nine Revolutions Qiankun Slash!"
Buzz!
A massive array covering a hundred meters emerged, with a large Bagua diagram at its top, engulfing hundreds of necro spirits within.
Swish!
Jiang Chen’s figure flashed, appearing atop the Bagua diagram, pressing down with one hand, pouring abundant spiritual power into it, shouting aloud, "Slash!"
Shh!
The Bagua diagram radiated dazzling brilliance, suddenly expanding, and fiercely crashing down.
"Quick!"
Jiang Chen shouted.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Yan Hu and his companions swiftly rushed out of the Defensive Array, moving above the Bagua diagram, descending along with it.
Jiang Chen flashed to the other side of the array, setting up the Four Symbols Seal Demon Array again.
Cycling the Four Symbols Seal Demon Array and Nine Revolutions Qiankun Slash, Jiang Chen led Yan Hu and the others swiftly deeper into the valley!
Bang!
As Jiang Chen and his companions entered the third Four Symbols Seal Demon Array, the first was broken by necro spirits from the valley entrance, scores of necro spirits surging into the valley.
