He slashed down directly!

"boom!"

Suddenly, a thunderous sound rang out, like a thunderclap, echoing in our ears.

The entire azure armor array plate suddenly trembled violently, its azure light shining brightly before rapidly dimming.

In an instant, as if overwhelmed by that powerful golden light, countless sword lights flashed across the sky, and strands of golden light radiated in all directions.

The faint "甲" (jia) character formation pattern dimmed considerably, almost becoming blurred. This demonstrated the immense power of the attack, pushing the formation's ability to withstand it to its limit.

However, as Lin Xiuyuan manipulated the wooden magic talisman to form a wooden net to resist, it seemed to be able to hold out for a while.

Upon seeing this, Lin Xiuyuan's eyes lit up. He took out another spirit stone, as big as a small mountain, and piled it up around several array plates, so that he could use the spirit stone to maintain the activation of the array plates at any time.

He immediately activated his magic power, commanding a magic shield to spiral away, emitting specks of earthy yellow light, forming a yellow sphere that flickered erratically, working in conjunction with the two barriers to block the sword light.

Thus, a stalemate was formed, and the power of the spirit sword was gradually worn down.

After a considerable while, the dazzling golden light of the magic sword gradually dimmed.

However, it wasn't a perfect defense; a small crack had appeared on the array plate.

However, Lin Xiuyuan was not worried about this. Instead, he showed a hint of joy and became even more composed.

After all, an array is composed of array plates, not a carefully arranged array base, and it has no array eye. Once it withstands an attack that exceeds its limit, it will be difficult to sustain and will gradually collapse. This is the drawback of array plates, and it also requires constant replenishment of spirit stones to maintain its source, which consumes a lot of the cultivator's mental energy. However, for cultivators who are not array masters, being able to quickly set up an array is enough.

It's only a crack now; it's not far from collapse.

This attack seems to be the full force of the Golden Mirror Master before us. Even if he has other moves, they probably won't be much stronger.

Seeing it this way, the hope that Huo Yun could achieve a breakthrough by relying on the formation to hold her ground increased considerably.

"It seems that this Golden Mirror expert's fighting skills are somewhat weak? He is probably more skilled in other areas."

Lin Xiuyuan seemed to be deep in thought. In his opinion, although the attack of this Golden Mirror expert surpassed the power of the early Foundation Establishment stage, it did not seem to exceed it by much.

The formation itself is so well-known that it only cracked after withstanding such a powerful attack!

It didn't seem to match the imposing presence of a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator. Lin Xiuyuan had participated in the battle between the Blood Hand Illusion Demon and the mid-Foundation Establishment disciple of the Flying Rainbow Sect on the plains, and he sensed this very accurately at this moment.

It's unclear whether it's because he just broke through and his realm hasn't been completely stabilized, or because he's not skilled in this area and doesn't have any particularly exquisite sword techniques.

Lin Xiuyuan guessed that there were probably some reasons for both.

Being a rogue cultivator, lacking resources and lineage, they can only specialize in one path, which means their cultivation methods are not as comprehensive as those of cultivators from sects. Someone like Lin Xiuyuan, apart from talismans, is lacking in other aspects. He has no sword techniques and has never practiced any spells, making him inferior to an ordinary Foundation Establishment rogue cultivator.

It was obvious that this person had only recently broken through to a higher realm, and his realm was not yet fully stable. His magic sword was also only of low grade, which prevented it from unleashing its full power. Now that the attack was weaker than expected, Lin Xiuyuan's confidence increased greatly.

Upon seeing this, the Golden Mirror Master's expression darkened. After all, it was a defensive formation at the Foundation Establishment level, and he hadn't expected to break it with just one strike. Although he had anticipated this, he still hadn't expected that the formation plate would only crack open. This made his face instantly grim, and he felt somewhat ashamed and annoyed.

Upon seeing Lin Xiuyuan's visibly relieved expression, the Golden Mirror Master felt a surge of anger and sneered, "Heh, don't be too happy yet. I'll break this tortoise shell for you sooner or later. For me, it's just a matter of taking some time."

After saying this, the Golden Mirror Master took out a pill and swallowed it to restore his magic power. He planned to launch a series of attacks to slowly break through Lin Xiuyuan's formation.

Soon, he unleashed his magic power once more and continued to wield the magic sword.

However, this time the sword attack was clearly not as powerful as the previous one, and could even be said to be several levels weaker.

But the Golden Mirror Master's offensive did not stop there. He formed hand seals, and his surging and powerful magic continued to flow out.

Before long, he unleashed a powerful spell, which emitted a dazzling yellow light that disappeared into the surrounding ground.

Although Lin Xiuyuan had never cultivated a foundation-building technique and therefore had not yet begun practicing spells, he still had some understanding of them.

The spell being used by the Golden Mirror Master before us is a beginner-level Earth Spike Technique, not a particularly powerful spell. It's just a general-purpose technique, naturally not as exquisite or powerful as the sect's inherited techniques.

However, given the opponent's cultivation level, its power is also considerable.

If it weren't for the multiple barriers that work together to defend against it, it would be really difficult to withstand.

This double attack was slightly more powerful than the previous all-out attack.

However, given this level of power, continuing to resist using the formation shouldn't be too difficult. Sensing this overwhelming force, Lin Xiuyuan quickly calmed down and began to employ his own methods to defend himself.

At this moment, as the sword light fell and the spell was unleashed, the surrounding earth trembled continuously, as if an earth dragon were turning over. Rumbling sounds rang out incessantly, and cracks appeared on the earth, which then flashed with bursts of yellow light, transforming into earth spikes that continuously pierced and shook the formation.
