Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2170 Chapter 1018: Tai'a Five Brothers 2

Previously on Immortality Through Array Formations...
In the small forest of Taixu Mountain, Mo Hua gathered with fellow disciples to prepare for the Earth Sword Discussion, reflecting on the Taixu Gate's unexpectedly strong third-place ranking amid high elimination rates. Their success stemmed from victories by Mo Hua and Linghu Xiao, the Sever Gold Sect's devastating loss due to a leaked inheritance, and the gritty efforts of overlooked junior brothers who forged unbreakable unity through battles. Among the standout performers, the five Ouyang brothers from the Tai'a Sect—Fu, Lu, Shou, Xi, and Cai—emerged from poverty and obscurity, their fates altered when Mo Hua armed them with heavy armor and giant swords, urging them simply to "chop when you see someone." United by blood and hardship, the brothers charged into the arena as towering War Gods, their tacit coordination unleashing an overwhelming aura of unyielding resolve.

The five brothers brandished their Giant Swords in unison.

They functioned as a single force; each one embodied all five.

When battle commenced, fueled by surges of murderous aura, the Giant Swords chopped and cleaved like a ferocious tempest.

Combined with the unbreakable bond among their siblings, reciting Mo Hua's mantra "Slash anyone you see," a genuine essence of "Planting Devil in Taoist Heart" arose, their focus unwavering as they advanced with savage momentum that no army of thousands could rival.

In the midst of the sword discussion, numerous sect disciples stood utterly stunned. The moment contact was made, five robust figures charged straight at them silently, their Giant Swords whirling and slicing with blinding speed.

Momentarily dazed, they recovered only to realize they were "dead" and out of the competition.

There was no space for negotiation.

As the proverb states, unpredictable blades can fell even seasoned experts.

Claim they have no strategy? These five operate as a cohesive whole, synchronized, and armed with Spiritual Artifacts.

Yet to claim they possess strategy...

Beyond "slash," nothing more exists.

When they unleash, it's utterly exasperating.

The Giant Sword unleashes wild sweeps, with slashes bursting forth in disarray, unbound by any patterns or protocols.

Should someone endure it, a counterattack might succeed. Otherwise, defeat follows inevitably. Naturally, these five brothers don't triumph every time; they've suffered several defeats.

However, thanks to Mo Hua's thoughtfully chosen heavy armor that repels spells and cuts, along with Giant Swords that channel Spiritual Power, inferior squads have zero hope, crumbling rapidly at the first clash.

Superior squads experienced varied results.

Still, even formidable squads must approach the Tai'a five brothers with utmost caution.

Failing that, should a weakness be exposed, the unyielding Giant Sword could easily disorient them.

These five brothers possess straightforward thoughts.

They adhere to their Junior Brother's instructions: charge in and slash.

Victory brings joy; loss is accepted without regret.

Owing to their lack of worries or hesitations, their strikes land with ruthless precision.

Through numerous clashes in sword discussions against diverse sect squads, the five brothers' expertise has deepened progressively, their sword skills honed gradually, and the Giant Sword's destructive power intensified.

Thus, the "Tai'a five brothers," overlooked and unknown before the event, carved their path from the Xuan Character Bureau into the Earth Character Bureau.

Mo Hua himself felt astonished.

Apart from the Tai'a five brothers, the majority of squads reaching the Earth Character Bureau feature well-known competitors.

Such as Yang Qianjun's "Taoist Soldiers Team."

Yang Qianjun hails from a noble lineage of Taoist Soldiers, immersed in their strategies from a young age.

Following the Three Sects Unification, he assembled disciples from Taia Mountain and Mount Chongxu who shared Taoist Soldier heritage, creating a genuine "Taoist Soldiers Team."

This represents a legitimate "Taoist Soldiers Team," unlike the basic model Mo Hua outlines.

All aspects adhere rigidly to the strategies, formations, and setups of Taoist Soldiers.

Plus Mo Hua's full provision of formations and Spiritual Artifacts.

Consequently, Yang Qianjun's squad progressed to the Earth Character Bureau.

The remaining squads comprise top disciples from the Three Mountains.

Even Hao Xuan's group made it through.

His group depended solely on agility techniques, pursuing and evading, seizing chances where they arose, securing wins when feasible.

Their progress stems entirely from fortune.

Mo Hua considered it extraordinary.

He quietly sensed that ancient forebears of Taixu Gate were secretly aiding him and Taixu Gate.

All assembled beneath the tree.

Tomorrow marks the Earth Character sword discussion.

Mo Hua outlined strategies concisely, selected appropriate formations and Spiritual Artifacts for them, then declared:

"That's the situation; for the Earth Character Bureau, give it your all."

"A win would be wonderful, but losing shouldn't discourage you."

"Yes, Junior Brother," the group replied with nods.

The forthcoming sword discussion can't be overcome by strategy alone.

The group recognizes this fully.

Still, they hold deep gratitude toward Mo Hua.

Absent Mo Hua, they likely wouldn't have lasted until the Earth Character sword discussion.

In particular, the Tai'a five brothers regard Mo Hua, their Junior Brother, with profound respect and thanks.

Lacking Mo Hua's direction, without his arrays and Spiritual Artifacts, they couldn't have fought from the Xuan Character Bureau.

Now they've left an impression at the Sword Discussion Conference, merely by attaining the Earth Character Bureau.

This will suffice to alter how Taia Mountain elders view them.

Even rigid elders in the Ouyang family could offer welcoming smiles.

The feeble get overlooked.

But displaying power or promise garners greater favor.

Although the five brothers appear uncomplicated, they grasp this truth.

All of it stems from their Junior Brother.

Without Junior Brother's aid, without his chances, they couldn't shine in the Sword Discussion Conference.

Hence, though seen by others as imposing and intimidating, with five daunting Giant Swords that make foes hesitate, the Tai'a five brothers remain utterly compliant to Mo Hua, the friendly and petite Junior Brother.

Whatever Mo Hua instructs, they agree eagerly, commit it to memory, and display a touch of "dedicated loyalty."

With preparations complete, the group parted ways.

Mo Hua headed back to the Disciple's Residence, starting his preparations for the Earth Character sword discussion.

From the sword discussion's start until now, he's exposed numerous assets.

Those left dwindle further with every deployment.

Moreover, the Earth Character sword discussion will involve true geniuses from the Four Sects, escalating the challenge; subsequent fights will grow tougher.

Even the bout tomorrow promises fierce contention.

Mo Hua tallied on his fingers, pondering deeply, letting out an unintended sigh, as his eyes slowly grew solemn.
