350 The Proper Use of the Array Flags

Gu Mingzhou’s gaze could not help but shift away from He Youliang, and he instantly looked at the array flag floating above He Youliang’s head.

“Array flags?”

It was array flags that were floating above He Youliang’s head and seemed to have set up a barrier.

“You have a good eye. You also have this thing and it has other uses!” He Youliang explained nonchalantly, not hiding anything.

According to unofficial records, ever since the Qing Emperor was born, he liked to seize all kinds of treasures by force.

He was an extremely overbearing existence.

No matter what treasure it was, as long as it caught the Qing Emperor’s eye, he would immediately snatch it.

It was said that the discovery of a historical site had attracted cultivators and powerful beings from all over the world to gather and discuss the distribution of the treasures.

The Qing Emperor took the opportunity to plunder the treasures.

They dug three feet into the ground and left nothing behind. When the powerful experts went in, they couldn’t even find a strand of hair.

This kind of thing only appeared in the unofficial history, so very few people knew about it or took it seriously.

Now that He Youliang had suddenly brought up this matter that had appeared in the unofficial history, Gu Mingzhou felt that the unofficial history that he had seen earlier was more genuine.

Gu Mingzhou’s breathing quickened involuntarily. He looked at He Youliang with some desire, but also some hesitation.

After hesitating for a while, he finally said what he was thinking.

“Could it be that the array flags are related to the treasure?” he probed. The thing relating to the nine array flags was a legendary divine artifact!

“You are very smart! I might as well tell you that although these nine array flags look ordinary, they are the key to the treasure pavilion when combined!” He Youliang explained.

Gu Mingzhou’s heart was in turmoil.

The treasures left behind by the Qing Emperor were simply unimaginable!

He Youliang’s face turned sinister.

Gu Mingzhou shook the spear in his hand, and a red shadow suddenly appeared out of thin air. It was Jing Wudao!

“It’s you!” Jing Wudao’s appearance caused He Youliang’s expression to turn ugly, and the uneasiness in his heart grew even stronger.

“You didn’t go to pick what so-called herbs at all! This is a trap!” He Youliang also quickly recovered from his shock and instantly understood the whole situation.

Previously, Gu Mingzhou had followed Zhao Qiankun’s arrangements and hidden Jing Wudao in the spear in preparation for the hunting plan.

However, he did not expect that He Youliang would deliver himself to him just as the plan was implemented.

In the beginning, Gu Mingzhou pretended not to have noticed He Youliang so he could launch a sneak attack and give Jing Wudao an opportunity to attack.

Unfortunately, when He Youliang heard Jing Wudao wasn’t around, not only did he not launch a sneak attack, but he even revealed his identity. He wanted to kill Gu Mingzhou openly and obtain the inheritance.

He was even certain of Gu Mingzhou’s ending and was not stingy in telling him the secret of the array flags!

“Hahaha! I’ll show you my true strength!” He Youliang knew that he had fallen into a trap, but he was not afraid at all. Instead, he became even more arrogant!

He Youliang’s expression turned serious, and spiritual energy surged around his body as his robes fluttered.

Gu Mingzhou frowned, and his expression suddenly turned serious.

Logically speaking, even if He Youliang was conceited at this moment, he should not have been so confident after seeing the strength that Jing Wudao had displayed in the cave of legacy.

At the very least, he would not be so decisive. He was completely different from what Gu Mingzhou knew about him.

Jing Wudao stood in front of Gu Mingzhou. His soft sword, which was as thin as a cicada’s wing, instantly flew out and landed in his hand. He pointed it at He Youliang.

“Make your move!” Jing Wudao was extremely decisive.

“Wudao!” Gu Mingzhou subconsciously pulled Jing Wudao back, wanting to dissuade him.

Based on his understanding of He Youliang, he wasn’t as cautious as Wu Ji patriarch, but he wouldn’t choose to fight Jing Wudao when he wasn’t confident.

“With Old Zhao’s spell techniques, it’s easy to deal with him.” Upon hearing the words “Old Zhao,” Gu Mingzhou’s worry immediately dissipated.

Old Zhao was naturally referring to Zhao Qiankun.

Gu Mingzhou might be worried about Jing Wudao’s strength, but he was completely at ease with Zhao Qiankun.

Since Jing Wudao had Zhao Qiankun behind him, Gu Mingzhou naturally had nothing to worry about. He immediately left Jing Wudao and retreated a few steps to the edge of the enchantment to make room for him. He no longer tried to dissuade Jing Wudao.

At this moment, Zhao Qiankun’s voice suddenly rang out in Gu Mingzhou’s mind.

“Where are the core of the array flags? Jing Wudao and He Youliang are going to fight. Inject your spiritual energy into it!” Zhao Qiankun’s voice was a little hurried, and he spoke much faster.

“Why?” Gu Mingzhou sent a voice transmission to ask.

“I don’t have time to explain, just do as I say!” Zhao Qiankun was obviously focused on Jing Wudao and did not explain to Gu Mingzhou.

Gu Mingzhou was puzzled, but he still followed Zhao Qiankun’s instructions and quietly took out the array flag from the qiankun bag at his waist.

Just as Zhao Qiankun had said, the battle was about to begin.

“I’m very curious about your identity. Since you’re willing to be a guard with your cultivation and strength, why don’t we mutually benefit each other?”

“Cut the crap, move!”

Jing Wudao was expressionless. He held his sword with both hands and stared at He Youliang.

“Since that’s what you want!” seeing this, He Youliang revealed an evil smile!

A treasured sword appeared out of thin air, and he instantly stabbed down at Jing Wudao. With a flash of purple light, he had already arrived in front of Jing Wudao.

To Jing Wudao, who specialized in sword techniques, this was nothing.

“Too slow!” Jing Wudao suddenly spoke when the purple light approached.

Even though he had made his move slightly later than He Youliang, his speed was clearly several times faster than He Youliang’s.

A cold light flashed!

Whoosh!

Gu Mingzhou didn’t even see Jing Wudao’s movements. The flexible sword had already collided with the treasured sword, causing sparks to fly and a sharp, ear-piercing sound to be heard.

He Youliang’s swift and fierce sword strike was blocked by Jing Wudao.

The two of them instantly separated.

Jing Wudao did not move an inch, as if he had not attacked at all. He continued to look at He Youliang expressionlessly. He Youliang somersaulted in midair and landed on the ground. The smile on his face had already disappeared, and his gaze, as he looked at Jing Wudao, became much more cautious.

“It seems that your strength has increased again. No wonder you dare to fight me one-on-one. Can you defeat me with this alone?” He Youliang was not in a hurry to attack.

Instead, he held his sword with both hands and placed it diagonally across his chest as he circled around Jing Wudao, looking for an opportunity.

The cold and aloof Jing Wudao still didn’t answer him, not even a word.

This made He Youliang feel a little embarrassed, and he immediately stopped talking.

A moment later, He Youliang, who couldn’t wait any longer, suddenly attacked Jing Wudao!

“Overflowing sword intent!”

The sword in He Youliang’s hand glowed with a cold light, shooting out thousands of purple sword intent at Jing Wudao!

The steps under his feet also began to change. It seemed chaotic, but in fact, it contained ciphertexts.

It caused his entire figure to become blurry, making it difficult to track him down.

Jing Wudao remained expressionless as the sword intent surged toward him.

Jing Wudao’s speed was very fast. His flexible sword suddenly flashed with a cold light, and his sword intent was awe-inspiring, instantly enveloping the tens of thousands of sword intent.

The sound of weapons clashing rang out continuously.

Resplendent sword intent shot out one after another, accompanied by a series of clashing sounds. The air in front of Jing Wudao and He Youliang was jolted into chaos.
