C79

Maki Chen had guessed that Jia Yue would make this arrangement and was prepared for it. The dense spirit force in his body transformed into lightning and the lightning turned into countless blades in the next moment, which shot towards the disciples who wanted to get close to Zhuge Qing and the rest like arrows!

I... Damn, what move is this?!

A male disciple of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets was so shocked by the scene in front of him that his mouth burst open.

He took out three gray Spirit Stones from the Spatial Ring and arranged them at five specific spots in front of him. He chanted an incantation and a grey, mysterious force formed an armored soldier in front of him.

The blades of Maki Chen's lightning continued to strike the soldiers' shields, and in an instant, they dissipated.

I thought it was some kind of scary move, but it was just a bluff!

He was in the middle of teasing Maki Chen when he realised that the energy released by the blades did not disappear completely. Instead, they were slowly approaching him.

How... What was going on?

While he was puzzled, he felt as if his body was being bitten by countless ants. However, the pain was even more intense, and he even felt an indescribable numbness. In just a few breaths of time, he had lost all feeling in his body!

The same scenario was happening to the rest of the disciples of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. However, there were still a few people who were unyielding. After facing the attack head on, there wasn't much of a difference.

Jia Yue looked at everything in front of him, and the contempt in his heart instantly lessened by more than half. He had never thought that a cultivator of Primordial Soul Stage would actually be able to use such an astonishing move.

But if it was only to this extent, he would still be unable to withstand a single blow from an expert of the Primordial Sea!

Jia Yue held the Origin Sealing Flag in his hand and his body shifted. In the blink of an eye, he had already closed in on Mu, followed by the Origin Sealing Array Flag in his hands. Soon after, five spirit stones appeared around the Origin Sealing Array Flag, moving in a unique pattern.

Extreme Arctic Frost Formation!

After Jia Yue finished chanting the chant, he gave a loud shout and dense clouds gradually formed seventy to eighty meters above Maki Chen. Immediately following that, the clouds shone with a white light at the starting point.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

An air-piercing sound was heard as countless ice cones penetrated through the clouds, and shot towards the place where Maki Chen was standing.

Even though Maki Chen's expression was calm, his heart was not calm at all. The icicles were so close to him that even if he wanted to dodge, it would be extremely difficult, and even with the help of the Spirit Soul, Maki Chen was only able to barely avoid them. He had even almost been injured by the icicles a few times.

The reason it was like this was not because the Spirit Soul was not strong enough, but because his body was unable to keep up with the Spirit Soul. Maki Chen clearly knew where the ice pick had landed, but his body's speed was still unable to keep up with his own judgement.

Looks like I have to increase my cultivation as soon as possible.

As Maki Chen was in deep thought, he saw the disciples of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets slowly recover from their negative state and walk around to the sides.

Zhuge Qing and the rest would only be able to escape for a few dozen breaths of time. If they let these people circle around him, it wouldn't take long before they caught up.

Since Maki Chen had decided to cover them as they escaped, then he definitely would not let any mishap happen to them. With a furious roar, the Purple Thunder around his body churned, shattering the ice cones that were about to fall to pieces.

Some of the icicles still pierced through the dense layer of lightning, and some of them either cut through Maki Chen's skin or pierced directly into his muscles.

Immediately, pain transmitted from the wound to his brain, causing Maki Chen to have a sinister expression.

Even though the strength of the body after training would far exceed that of an ordinary person, it was still a mortal body after all. One could not use the body to block the attacks of the icicles, nor could they be immune to pain.

The area covered by the ice cones was not small. Maki Chen endured the intense pain he felt as he charged out of the Extreme Ice Confinement Formation's perimeter. Following which, the lightning condensed in his palm and turned into a rope, shooting towards a disciple of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets who had already bypassed him.

Immediately after, Maki Chen increased the power of the lightning, and in the next moment, he saw this person's body flicker, and then sway back and forth before collapsing onto the ground, releasing a burnt smell from his body.

Maki Chen did not stop his attack. After he retracted the lightning whip, he turned the lightning into a spear and rushed towards the next disciple.

Being so close to Maki Chen, the disciple immediately panicked. Just now, the image of Maki Chen controlling the countless thunder blades was still lingering in his mind, and he was unable to get rid of it. Now that he was facing Maki Chen head on, he had no intention to fight.

Seeing that the person had the intention to avoid the attack, Maki Chen increased the speed of his attacks. Every time he swung the Thunder Spear in his hand, it would pierce towards the opponent's vital points.

After Maki Chen escaped from the extreme ice trap array, Jia Yue had been looking for a chance to set up a second formation, but he didn't expect this guy to directly fight his own junior brother in close combat. If he used the formation's power, he would definitely harm his own junior brother.

Jia Yue's face was pale, his feet moved like the wind, and rushed towards Maki Chen. Since he could not use long-range methods like formations, he could only use a close-range killing technique to clear away this problem.

Kid, if you have the guts, then fight me head on!

Maki Chen replied and turned to look, only to see Jia Yue flying quickly towards him. In a moment, he was already in front of him, and following that, Jia Yue threw three Spirit Stones at Maki Chen.

Spirit Stones were essential items to set up the formation. Simply put, they were Primordial Stone s with attributes. For example, the Spirit Stones that were just used to set up the extreme ice trap array already had ice attributed energy.

Maki Chen had a certain level of understanding towards formations. To put it bluntly, formations were similar to runes, it was just that formations could only be formed based on the rules of arranging spirit stones. Then, with the support of the spirit energy of the person who cast the formation, the effects of formations could be unleashed.

There were only two ways to restrain an formation master. To shatter a spirit stone directly, or to destroy its arrangement!

As Maki Chen was dealing with that Heaven's Secret disciple, a short blade condensed in his left hand. Under the control of his spirit energy, he shot it out fiercely, colliding with one of the three spirit stones!

Clang!

After a crisp sound, a spirit stone left its trajectory and fell onto the ground. The formation that should have been triggered, was forcibly broken by Maki Chen.

Jia Yue did not expect Maki Chen to have some understanding about formations, so when he used the array, he did not intentionally hide the trajectory of the spirit stones, which was why he gave Maki Chen the opportunity to do so.

Not simple, kid. You won't have that much luck after this! Lin Ruo, push it away first!

Lin Ruo, who was the disciple from the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets who was fighting with Maki Chen in close combat, widened the distance between them at the fastest speed possible after hearing Senior Jia's order.
