Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2246 Chapter 1041: Explosion! (Part 3)

From a distance, the Sword Qi unleashed by Linghu Xiao and his comrades began to strike. Ye Qingfeng commanded, "Remain clustered, push forward in a single line."

Mo Hua had arrayed an overwhelming number of Formations; attempting to dismantle every single one was a futile impossibility.

Addressing them individually would prove incredibly tedious and inefficient.

The most optimal strategy was for everyone to coalesce and punch through a singular corridor, focusing entirely on reaching Mo Hua.

Rather than injuring ten fingers, it is far wiser to sever one.

Instead of damaging ten Formations, it is better to shatter one.

Ye Qingfeng spearheaded the advance, utilizing the Daluo Unification Sword as his vanguard to pool the collective power of his allies, forcefully carving a gap through the weak points in Mo Hua's Formation.

The group followed this trail, rallying behind the Sword Qi of the Taixu Gate disciples to dismantle the obstructions and penetrate deeper, step by step.

Meanwhile, Shen Linsu and his three companions refrained from impulsive actions.

They stood back, observing the scene with aloof detachment, their eyes fixed on the dense web of Formations sprawling before them.

They were determined to uncover whatever schemes Mo Hua was orchestrating.

Was there a hidden secret buried within these layers of Formations?

Even a lion utilizes its full power to capture a rabbit.

While they looked down upon Mo Hua, they harbored a profound respect for the potency of his Formations.

As Mo Hua's defensive web was torn apart, a path revealed itself, casting light upon the anatomy of the entire Formation "city."

Despite their strength, these constructs appeared to be nothing more than standard Second Grade High-Level Formations.

Furthermore, they were strictly defensive and trapping designs, devoid of any offensive Killing Formations.

It appeared Mo Hua's sole ambition was to "hold the line."

To withstand the assault for as long as possible.

"But, is this truly... everything?"

Shen Linsu gazed at Mo Hua in the distance, who remained stationed among the hundred-plus gifted cultivators, entirely focused on his Formation Painting, his brow furrowing with growing suspicion.

With Ye Qingfeng leading the charge, they forced a bloody ingress, pushing further into the heart of the Formation.

As the opposing disciples converged, the carnage intensified rapidly.

Empowered by the Five Elements Source Armor, Linghu Xiao employed the Chongxu Sword True Technique to clash against Ye Qingfeng's Daluo Unification Sword Skill.

The massive blades of the Five Tai'a Brothers blocked the path of Dragon Ding Sect's Ao Zheng and his fellow elites.

Simultaneously, Shen Cangfeng of the Qian Taoist Sect and Xiao Ruohan of the Heavenly Sword Sect engaged in combat with the members of Taixu Gate.

The confrontation had spiraled into a desperate battle for survival.

No one dared to be negligent; no one withheld their strength.

Though Taixu Gate was numerically inferior, the boost from the Source Armor made their explosive power within the confined space of Mo Hua's Formations exceptionally formidable.

All the while, threads of black-and-red Spiritual Ink slithered through the battlefield, manipulated by the Formations to assist in the slaughter.

Both sides fought as if their lives depended on it, pouring out their complete reserves of Spiritual Power in a lethal struggle.

The battlefield had devolved into a literal "meat grinder."

Blow struck blow, and sword clashed with sword in a chaotic frenzy.

A thick, impenetrable aura of killing intent saturated the air.

One by one, the Dao Discussion Jades vibrated and shattered.

Cultivator after cultivator fell.

The tragedy of the scene was profound.

Watching their brethren from the Four Sects and Seven Gates fall or give ground, while the members of Taixu Gate grew increasingly fierce in their desperation, Shen Linsu and his three companions could no longer restrain themselves.

They could not permit more of their people to be cut down.

Nor could they allow Mo Hua's group to continue their unchecked killing.

Despite their initial caution regarding Mo Hua's traps, they were now convinced that Mo Hua had exhausted his repertoire.

His method of constructing these Formations had been scrutinized indefinitely by Shen Linsu and his peers.

Using Divine Sense to control the ink, drawing the ground into a trap.

Defensive Formations, restraint Formations, trapping Formations, and auxiliary Formations...

The entire routine had been thoroughly exposed.

The fate of Taixu Gate was effectively sealed.

Xiao Wuchen was the first to plunge into the heart of Mo Hua's "city" of Formations.

Duanmu Qing and Ao Zhan followed immediately.

Finally, Shen Linsu stepped forward.

As he breached the perimeter of Mo Hua's layout, a sudden, inexplicable shiver went through him, though he quickly offered a scornful, self-deprecating smile:

To feel apprehension because of someone like Mo Hua is truly pathetic.

With the arrival of the Four Great Gifted Cultivators, the tide of the conflict shifted decisively.

Xiao Wuchen, Ao Zhan, Duanmu Qing, and Shen Linsu each possessed immense cultivation, wielding superior Cultivation Techniques and lethal Taoist Skills, with Spiritual Power Circulation cycles approaching perfection.

Every punch, sword strike, and spell they unleashed carried immense force that required exhausting measures to deflect.

The disciples of Taixu Gate resisted with all they had.

However, the chasm in strength was simply too vast.

Regardless of their valiant struggle or the resilience of Mo Hua's Formations, they bled themselves dry of Spiritual Power until they ultimately could not reverse their doom.

The disciples of Taixu Gate began to perish one by one.

Hao Xuan fell to Xiao Wuchen's Heavenly Sword Technique; Yang Qianjun was struck down by the Purple Gold Sword Qi of Shen Linsu; Cheng Mo engaged Ao Zhan in a brief exchange before being felled by a single punch; Situ Jian was overwhelmed by the indiscriminate barrage of Duanmu Qing's spells; and among the Five Tai'a Brothers, Ouyang Lu, Ouyang Xi, and Ouyang Cai were surrounded and killed by Ao Zheng, Shen Cangfeng, and their cohorts after a grueling resistance.

...

In the end, only five members of Taixu Gate remained alive: Mo Hua, Linghu Xiao, Ouyang Xuan, Ouyang Fu, and Ouyang Shou.

Facing them, over fifty elites from the Four Sects still stood.

The disparity in numbers was now ten-fold.

Those remaining were the absolute best of the Four Great Sects.

Included in their ranks were the Daluo Sect led by Ye Qingfeng, along with several elites, as well as the four top Bloodline Gifted Cultivators from Qianxue.

Mo Hua felt his Divine Sense reaching its limit and his Spiritual Ink running dry; the constant overexertion and the strain of maintaining such a vast array of Formations left his skin deathly pale and his breathing ragged.
