Chapter 1886 - 339: Formation Showdown (Part 5)

Thus, both the "black and white paths", the Yu family's front and reverse sides, can blend into each other, creating the foundation to seize the greatest fruits in this wave.

Although there was no prior communication with Zhao Yi, this tacit understanding did not require deliberate explanation.

For today's siege in this strategic formation, I must break through. In the remaining grids, apart from my side, all are disadvantaged. But this also proves their excellence, and the most outstanding among "our side" naturally has to be Chen Xiyuan.

You cannot die; you must be my ally.

White-haired Youth: "That guy's array is set up. Looks like I need to help Zhao Yi. Which of you will go? Zhao Yi can't have accidents, we'll still need him later."

The masked woman and the scarred man nodded.

White-haired Youth: "Hold on, I'll let you in right away... Hmm?"

Li Zhiyuan's array activated, and the youth was enveloped by a mass of shadows, which continued to expand.

This is a very orthodox array, so orthodox that it is too dull, but it has one effect, which is concealment.

In the darkness, the youth opened his right hand, and the Black Flood Dragon Spirit condensed into a blood-colored array flag, was held by him, and swung to break the formation!

White-haired Youth: "Not good, someone is undermining the foundation of this Grand Array!"

Masked Woman: "Is it the youth's array effect?"

White-haired Youth: "No, it has nothing to do with him. His array is straightforward, incapable of such effects. Moreover, if he had such methods, Zhao Yi over there wouldn't have lasted this long."

Scarred Man: "Yu family member?"

White-haired Youth: "Most likely."

Masked Woman: "Can you hold it?"

"Ha, ridiculous, trying to break the formation from me, dream on!"

The white-haired youth raised a Purple Gold Compass in his right hand and held a Luminous Pearl in his left. His eyes turned pale.

Zhao Yi, still playing cat and mouse with Run Sheng, noticed someone was breaking his array, being the central Array Eye.

However, he hid his skills in front of those people, letting them believe that maintaining the existence of this array was his limit, incapable of further intervention.

Of course, he knew who was breaking the formation, hence he had no reason to intervene further.

He could even secretly sabotage, accelerating the formation-break for the surname Li, but Zhao Yi felt doing so would be pointless, as if casting flirtatious glances at a blind person.

Underneath the black shroud, Li Zhiyuan's gaze slightly tightened.

He sensed a powerful resistance strengthening this array.

The resistance came fiercely, charging recklessly.

The white-haired youth's array expertise was indeed above Zhao Yi's; more crucially, he likely had superior artifacts enhancing him.

Defeating him wasn't difficult for Li Zhiyuan, but those one or two array artifacts really posed a significant challenge.

Anyone embarking on the Jiang would surely bring some handy tools from home, wouldn't they?

Accumulation, isn't that embodied in these aspects?

But unfortunately, Li Zhiyuan didn't have such configurations, and the artifacts he had were scavenged little by little from corpses encountered on the Jiang.

If it weren't for the Jiujiang Zhao family's support, he wouldn't even manage to establish his own Daoist Field now.

Blood mist spread from Li Zhiyuan's palm, enhancing the power of the array flag in his hand.

On the platform, the Purple Gold Compass in the white-haired youth's hand spun rapidly, the Luminous Pearl shone brilliantly, his expression turned solemn, and he said grimly:

"The person breaking the formation is quite capable, but he is still... hmm?"

This marked the white-haired youth's second instance of surprise in a short time, noticing the opponent shifted from directly clashing with him to frequently altering frequencies.

Now he managed to hold on, but controlling the Purple Gold Compass and Luminous Pearl posed challenges.

White-haired Youth: "Alright, I admit the opponent's array expertise surpasses mine."

The masked woman and the scarred man were surprised by his words, having known the white-haired youth for a while and understanding his pride, they didn't expect him to openly acknowledge inferiority.

White-haired Youth: "He seems to have detected the superior array artifacts enhancing me, and isn't simply targeting me, but the two artifacts in my hands.

You guys go down quickly, I'll open other grid areas, get those who've finished to help and kill everyone we brought in.

I'm worried that delay will lead to... Ah!"

The white-haired youth let out a loud cry, as the opponent swiftly suppressed the Grand Array's operational speed, nearly halting it.

The Purple Gold Compass pointer spun rapidly, creating afterimages, the Luminous Pearl's brightness increased further, as the white-haired youth strived to maintain the array's operation.

"It's over, too late, he's evidently compressing only to accelerate the next step, I can't hold it back, if the Array Eye were here with me, I'd have more confidence to stabilize here.

The Yu family was once famed for Beast Taming, not arrays, and much less the current Yu family, how do they have such an array expert?"

Everything was as the white-haired youth anticipated, Li Zhiyuan, after compressing the Grand Array's operation to a low state, forcibly elevated it.

The youth felt suffocated, coughing repeatedly while his mind spun dizzyingly, a trickle of fresh blood exuding from his nose.

Fortunately, the nosebleed stopped after a short while, indicating the youth had just touched the pressure threshold.

Unlike the previous instance of stealthily swapping locks on the Ghost Gate, this time, it was a straightforward battle strategy, with both parties well aware of each other's intentions.

In this array confrontation, the opponent held weapons, whereas the youth was barehanded, consequently requiring greater costs.
