C293 Doubt and inference
The incoming explosion was getting closer and closer to the group. In fact, they could clearly feel a cold and gloomy wind emitting from the explosion. Before the cold wind could reach his body, it made him shiver. His entire body felt stiff, as if it was frozen. Even his joints couldn't function properly.
Everyone was completely at a loss of what to do about this crisis. They didn't even know if they should just stand there and wait for death, or turn around and run. Their legs felt like lead and they didn't know how to move them. They never would have thought that just by watching this match, they would bring about such a disaster.
Just as everyone was in a trance for a long time, a furious voice suddenly rang out. The one who spoke was the old man with a nose for alcohol. Why was there such a large range attack? It was impossible for Ol 'Nine to cause such a huge amount of damage! You have explained it clearly to laozi! "
"Rest for a moment, I'll let Lan Er guard you. I'll be right back!" Gongsun Ztian completely ignored the old man with the rosy nose, and instead, he lowered his head and spoke softly to Leng Nuohan who was in her embrace.
"Be careful, I can feel some changes happening inside!" It's weird, but it's also very dangerous! " Leng Nuohan's soft and weak voice faintly sounded out, and she softly warned Gongsun Zaitian who was behind her.
"Don't worry. I've set up my own formation, so how can I not handle it?" Gongsun Ze Tian nodded his head with a similar serious expression. However, in order to ease Leng Nuohan's worries, he had to console him.
The current array formation was completely different from the one Gongsun Ze Tian had set up previously. The current array formation was like a ghost domain filled with cold wind, and the might of the array formation inside it was definitely strong as well, it was definitely stronger than the one that he had seen on the outside. Just this array formation was stronger than the one Gongsun Ze Tian had previously played with Cui Zifeng.
After all, the formation that Gongsun Zaitian had set up earlier was only for the sake of a battle, not a battle of life and death. Since he did not plan to take the opponent's life, there was no need to set up such a powerful formation. This kind of array formation was collectively known as the 'killing array', and was classified as one of the 'killing array' along with the 'trap array' and 'illusion array'. It was also the type of array that would cause the most headaches for anyone other than the 'illusion array', and it also had a faint murderous killing intent, a type that destroyed one's will. If one was not careful when escaping from the killing array, it was likely that they would find it difficult to advance in the future due to their determination.
This was Gongsun Ze Tian's headache. He didn't know why the ordinary formation he had set up had turned into a killing formation and instead attacked him. How could this not cause Gongsun Ze Tian to vomit blood? Gongsun Ze Tian was so regretful that his intestines turned green. In terms of digging one's own grave, he was probably number one!
"Kid, I'm asking you a question, did you hear me?" With a face filled with anger, the old man took two steps forward and roared at Gongsun Ze Tian.
"Lan Er, come over here and guard her properly for me!" Gongsun Ze Tian still ignored the old man and continued to instruct Lan Er. At this time of crisis, he had already forgotten to call Lan Er by his modified name, since Lan Er was just a servant, so there was only one name for him in every mansion in the world. Most likely, any mansion would be able to find a girl named Lan Er, so Gongsun Ze Tian was not too worried about this small matter.
"It's Young Master!" Lan Er nodded her head heavily in agreement.
Lan Er's figure flashed, and the instant that Gongsun Ze Tian left Leng Nuohan, he replaced Gongsun Ze Tian's position. He used both hands to gently support Leng Nuohan's body, allowing her to comfortably lean on him, so that she wouldn't fall off her horse.
"I say, boy, you're looking for trouble, aren't you? Grandfather is asking you something, and you actually dare to ignore it. Grandfather will cripple you today! " The old man straightened the wine gourd hanging from his waist, then he rolled up his sleeves and headed in Gongsun Zaitian's direction. As he walked, he angrily shouted out to him.
"With just you? "Humph!" Gongsun Ztian disdainfully looked at the old man who was walking towards him. With this old man's cultivation, he could not even compare to the person who had just challenged him. Although it was not certain that he would win, he absolutely would not lose.
"Cough cough, this old mister, please don't get angry yet. I'll explain it to you!" How could Leng Nuohan not understand Gongsun Ze Tian? Hearing his words, she knew that Gongsun Ze Tian was preparing to cause trouble, she probably had no place to vent her anger on.
"Hmph, brat, today's matter is not over yet!" After hearing Leng Nuohan's voice, the old man surprisingly suppressed her anger. Although she was furious at Gongsun Ze Tian, she still stopped and stared at Leng Nuohan, waiting for her to continue speaking.
"Humph!" Do you really think I'm afraid of you? " Gongsun Ztian coldly harrumphed and replied with disdain. It could be considered as giving him face.
"Hehe, old mister, don't blame him. He is in a bad mood, so this is how it is. Usually, he is very easy to get along with!" Leng Nuohan rolled her eyes at Gongsun Ze Tian. There was a bit of complaint in her gentle eyes, and a bit of playfulness in her accusation. She then turned her head to the old man and explained with a smile.
"I can't see how he's being nice to get along with. Little girl, tell us what's going on!" The old man didn't care about Gongsun Zaitian, he sarcastically spoke to Gongsun Zaitian with a hint of resentment. Then, he asked Leng Nuohan a question in an amiable manner, as if his grandfather was talking to his own granddaughter.
"Actually, from the beginning..." Leng Nuohan laughed, and said with her weak voice.
As Leng Nuohan slowly explained, everyone suddenly realized that Gongsun Ze Tian had been planning this ever since the beginning of the battle. Gongsun Ze Tian kept advancing forward, occasionally retreating a bit, and when there was no distance between the two of them, he had actually laid out a seemingly chaotic and helpless pattern on the ground. In reality, there were some patterns on the ground, and the varying depths of the pits were not used as they were used to cause trouble for Cui Zifeng.
Although everyone present did not understand the concept of 'array', and did not know what 'array core' was, they had a general idea. Gongsun Zaitian had originally planned on setting them up, and with Gongsun Zaitian in charge, he would effortlessly play with Cui Zifeng.
Thinking to this point, everyone in the Surveillance Council glanced at Gongsun Ze Tian. The disdain in their hearts towards this person was self-evident. But who was Gongsun Ztian? His skin was as thick as the sun, so how could he show his cowardice in front of these people?
"What is a 'formation'? Is it something for the army to march and fight? " The old man holding the judge pen suddenly asked Leng Nuohan.
"Hmph, old fellow, how can those things that march and fight be called a 'formation'? I'm afraid you've never seen a real military formation before? Furthermore, even if it's a real military formation, it can't compare to a formation like mine! " Gongsun Ztian snorted coldly and said to the old man with disdain.
This was why every time he reincarnated, he would study and study all the formations in space and time. Thus, whether it was the formation he used when he was young, or the extremely powerful Gate Escape Armor array, he was well aware of it.
Not to mention the fact that no one had ever seen such a miraculous escape array on the entire continent, just the array that was used by the ordinary army when they deployed their troops was enough to make Gongsun Ztian hard for all the famous generals to catch a glimpse of.
"Old mister, don't blame me. Although his words are a bit straightforward, they are the truth. I'm afraid that I do not have the time to discuss the matter of the formation. After this is over, I will speak to old mister about it!" Leng Nuohan rolled her eyes at Gongsun Zaitian, and then hurriedly explained to the elders.
"Alright, then what's going on right now? Is the 'Formation' out of control? " The old man with the judge pen nodded and answered, then he pointed towards the distant 'sand dust explosion' that was constantly pushing forward.
"It's scary to have no culture!" Gongsun Ze Tian turned his head and whispered.
"Old sir, formations are immobile and are controlled by people. They will not go out of control and will only operate according to their own rules if no one is controlling it. "However ?" Leng Nuohan was only smiling in response. If she wanted to explain this matter clearly, then no matter what, she had to start from the origin and principles of the formation. Once they could completely understand it, it would take her at least a hundred years to get her graduation certificate.
"But what?" The one who asked this question was Cui Ziyi, his expression was still solemn, with a hint of worry, as though he was worried about something or someone.
"However, this time's formation is a bit strange. It seems like there's been some sort of change!" I don't know the exact reason why! " Leng Nuohan paused for a moment, and then, her gaze turned towards that ball of air, and indifferently said.
"No need to guess, I know why!" When I tried to enter the formation just now, I found that the main eye of the formation was occupied by someone. All of the changes that have occurred have to do with that old man. " Seeing that each of the old men was lost in thought, Gongsun Zaitian broke their train of thought, directly answering everyone's questions.
"Even if he occupied that 'Formation Aperture' thing, it shouldn't cause such a large scale situation to go out of control, right?" The old man with the rosy nose was truly a forgetful person. Didn't he remember that just now, he had personally gone up to teach Gongsun Ze Tian a lesson?! When he heard Gongsun Ztian's explanation, he still went ahead and asked him.
"Perhaps his top-down attack created a huge crater in the formation I set up, and that crater happened to be near the main eye of my formation, causing a change in the formation. The entire formation seemed to be out of my control at any time, so I didn't pay much attention to it at that time. Since she was injured and fell to the ground, the moment I pulled away, the main eye of the formation happened to be unguarded. He was lucky, and somehow ran into the main eye of the formation, and even occupied the eye of the formation, which was why such a situation happened! That's why I said the change in this situation is related to him. " Gongsun Ztian did not try to make things difficult for the old man with the rosy nose. After musing to himself for a while, he answered with an uncertain tone.
Everyone fell into deep thought as they heard Gongsun Zaitian's deduction. According to what he said, this was too much of a coincidence. Was there really such a coincidence in this world? Or could it be that the so-called 'array formation' that Gongsun Ze Tian spoke of was nothing special? It was not as mysterious as the one he spoke of?
