Chapter 1388 - 1392: Chu Yan Enters the Immortal Locking Array

Ignoring his own injuries,

a contemplative expression appeared on Yun Hao's face.

Using all his Immortal Yuan to resist the attack, he could only fend off six strikes of Sword Qi; as for the seventh strike, it was already too late to use Immortal Yuan to block it.

Therefore, if there were only seven strikes of Sword Qi, at least one of them would have to be endured by Yun Hao's body alone.

Sitting outside the Immortal Locking Array, Chu Yan saw a trickle of blood at the corner of Yun Hao's mouth and couldn't help but clasp her small hands together in worry.

If Yun Hao hadn't repeatedly warned her not to go in, Chu Yan might have already rushed into the Immortal Locking Array.

Standing in place and pondering for a moment, Yun Hao silently nodded and then took a few more steps forward.

This time, the number of copper figures that launched Sword Qi increased from seven to fourteen.

Fortunately, this time, Yun Hao had set up several Defense Arrays around him.

So, even though the Sword Qi had increased significantly, Yun Hao wasn't severely injured.

As he delved deeper, the number of copper figures joining the battle was rapidly increasing as well.

Seven...

Fourteen...

Twenty-one...

By the time Yun Hao reached the center of the array, all forty-nine copper figures were simultaneously launching streams of Sword Qi.

Looking at the overwhelming barrage of Sword Qi, even Yun Hao couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Having already set up more than a dozen Defense Arrays, he added several more restrictions in front of him, hoping to resist them slightly.

Otherwise, if all these fierce Sword Qis struck him, even the gray Primordial Spirit capable of devouring would be overwhelmed and burst.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Explosive sounds reverberated around Yun Hao's body, all from the Sword Qi colliding with the Defense Arrays and restrictions.

Luckily, Yun Hao was better prepared this time, and when the furious Sword Qi finally subsided, there was still one Defense Array remaining.

Yun Hao slightly furrowed his brow, "Isn't this supposed to be strong?"

Could it be that the Immortal Locking Array that even made Su Hongling flustered only had this much power?

As soon as he thought of this, the recently settled Sword Qi roared to life again.

Moreover, at the same time, the forty-nine copper figures started to move slowly.

Entwining and intersecting, the Sword Qi became fiercer, and the pressure emitted by each Sword Qi was immensely oppressive.

Damn it...

Without time to think further, Yun Hao quickly retreated.

At the same time, his hands continuously formed Seal Decisions, casting one restriction after another.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Even though Yun Hao reacted swiftly and responded perfectly,

when he exited the Immortal Locking Array, he was still injured by the Sword Qi in several places, his already somewhat pale face becoming even more bloodless.

"Husband, are you okay?"

Seeing Yun Hao withdraw from the Immortal Locking Array, Chu Yan hurriedly rushed over, worriedly supporting Yun Hao's body and asked anxiously.

"Of course it matters, otherwise how dull would it be!"

Yun Hao's lips curled into a mischievous smile, and he secretly pinched Chu Yan.

"You're already so injured, and you're still thinking about teasing me!"

Chu Yan was no longer a young girl; she'd been with Yun Hao for so long that, even if she was once pure, she had long been influenced by Yun Hao's roguishness.

Naturally, she immediately understood the implication behind Yun Hao's words.

She helped Yun Hao sit beside a rock and took out two healing elixirs for him to take.

"I just reached the center of the Immortal Locking Array..."

Yun Hao adjusted his injuries slightly and then recounted his experiences within the Immortal Locking Array to Chu Yan in detail.

As Chu Yan had mentioned, her strength might not necessarily be weaker than Yun Hao's, so having both of them aware of this might give them more ways to handle it.

After hearing Yun Hao's account, Chu Yan slightly furrowed her brow and said to Yun Hao beside her, "Husband, you said you reached the array's center, but I saw you standing there the whole time without taking a single step forward!"

Didn't take a single step forward?

Yun Hao looked at Chu Yan in confusion and found she wasn't joking, prompting him to frown in thought.

Chu Yan told him he had been standing still after entering the array.

Yet Yun Hao clearly remembered taking many steps forward until he supposedly reached the array's center, causing the copper figures to move and launch countless Sword Qi, severely injuring him.

Could it be that from the outside, one couldn't see any changes within the Immortal Locking Array, only the moment he first entered?

The more Yun Hao thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.

Considering the various strange phenomena within this Immortal Tomb Forbidden Land, it wasn't entirely impossible for the Immortal Locking Array to have such peculiarities.

Yun Hao shared his conjecture with Chu Yan, who, upon hearing it, did not immediately express an opinion.

"Husband, how about this? You stay here while I check the Immortal Locking Array. Don't worry, I won't go deep; I'll just survey the edge of the array. With proper preparation, even if there are seven Sword Qis, it should be safe!"

After a moment of hesitation, Chu Yan shared her thoughts with Yun Hao in a soft voice.

"That sounds good. I'll set up some restrictions for you!"

Yun Hao nodded. Given Chu Yan's cultivation, with preparations in place, there would certainly be no danger.

With those words, Yun Hao gathered his Immortal Yuan and set up layer upon layer of restrictions around Chu Yan.

Repeating this, there were dozens of restrictions.

These restrictions could easily withstand not just seven strikes of Sword Qi, but even twice that.

"Remember, don't go deep inside; it's too dangerous!"

Before Chu Yan entered the array, Yun Hao reminded her once more and only relaxed slightly after seeing Chu Yan agree repeatedly.

Chu Yan stepped forward, entering the Immortal Locking Array.

Outside the array, Yun Hao fixed his gaze on Chu Yan's figure, both to see if she moved and to rush in instantly if she got injured.

In Yun Hao's view, after entering the array, Chu Yan remained standing still, just like before.

It seems this Immortal Locking Array indeed has the capability to deceive those outside, making it impossible to discern the real situation inside the array.
