boom!

Ye Chen screamed in agony as his body flew backward.

Gu Jian strode forward, about to catch up with Ye Chen and sever his head.

Just then.

Thick fog suddenly rose from the surrounding air and spread rapidly.

Then, to Gu Jian's astonishment, Ye Chen's figure disappeared into the thick fog.

At the moment Ye Chen disappeared.

A strange and mysterious aura, along with a murderous intent, suddenly appeared and enveloped Gu Jian.

After sensing it for a moment, Gu Jian realized that it was an array.

"Interesting. If you can't beat me, you'll resort to formations."

Gu Jian shook his head, a look of disdain on his face.

At that moment, Ye Chen's voice, filled with hatred, echoed from within the mist.

“Formations are also a part of strength. If the rules don’t restrict them, then it’s allowed.”

"Li Bai, today I will surely kill you!"

"Today is your death day!"

Amidst the mist, Ye Chen spoke fiercely, then quickly activated the formation.

The power of the array coalesced into lightning, slashing wildly towards Gu Jian.

The sudden appearance of thick fog in the training ground surprised everyone.

Empress Fox Linglong, the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons, frowned.

This is actually an array formation, and a Heaven-level array formation at that.

Ye Chen had actually kept this up his sleeve, which was beyond her expectations.

"Even I, the Emperor, cannot see through a Heaven-level formation. If he takes advantage of the formation to force out the ancient demonic gu, I will have no way to stop him."

"I knew he wasn't that obedient!"

Fox Linglong's gaze turned icy, and a murderous intent rose in her heart.

However, she was even more curious.

How will Li Bai respond?

Outside the arena, Feng Yantong frowned slightly.

She also recognized it as a Heaven-level formation.

It is not only a Heaven-level formation, but also the Six Ding Six Jia Formation among Heaven-level formations, possessing extremely terrifying power.

Out of concern, Feng Yantong really wanted to help Gu Jian, but ultimately she held back.

Because the Fox Demon Queen, Hu Linglong, is here.

Besides Hu Linglong, there are several other powerful auras in the Demon City of Ten Thousand Demons, no weaker than hers.

If she acts rashly and exposes her identity, she will not only fail to save Gu Jian, but will also most likely perish here with him.

In addition, Feng Yantong knew that Gu Jian was also an incredibly talented array master.

This formation is powerful.

However, Ye Chen's skill in array formations was not as good as Gu Jian's.

Using formations to deal with Gu Jian is somewhat like showing off one's limited skills before an expert.

Gu Jian should be confident in dealing with Ye Chen.

However, even though that's what I think.

Out of worry, Feng Yantong clenched her fists, her palms sweating.

After all, separated by the array, she had no idea what was going on inside.

On the other side, inside the formation.

While repairing the puppet's body, Ye Chen controlled the power of the array, condensing it into terrifying bolts of lightning that slashed down towards Gu Jian.

At this moment, because a Heaven-level formation was activated.

He wasn't in a hurry to kill Li Bai.

He wanted to humiliate him thoroughly before killing him.

"Li Bai, run! Let's see where you can run to!"

Gu Jian smiled.

In the Misty Sect, Ye Chen not only possessed a great deal of cultivation resources.

He is inferior to many others.

Literary talent is one aspect.

Another crucial aspect is his mastery of formations.

Gu Jian was able to set up a Heaven-level formation using his own power.

Ye Chen, at most, can set up earth-level formations.

The surrounding area was a Heaven-level formation, but it was set up by Ye Chen using a formation treasure, and it was far from being able to unleash the full power of a Heaven-level formation.

Especially the formation in front of us.

Gu Jian was very familiar with it.

The Six Ding and Six Jia Heavenly Spirit Array.

Gu Jian clearly understood the various advantages and disadvantages of this formation, as well as its hidden dangers and mysteries.

With a flash, Gu Jian dodged the bolts of lightning.

Then, his gaze fell on one spot.

That place was shrouded in thick fog.

"A mere pseudo-heavenly-level formation dares to try and kill me? How laughable!"

Gu Jian smiled coldly, and the layout diagram of the Six Ding Six Jia Formation flashed through his mind.

Then, following the principles of the formation, he walked step by step into the depths of the dense fog.

That wasn't outside the formation, but rather at the location of the formation's core.

It is also where Ye Chen is hiding!

Seeing that Gu Jian not only avoided the array lightning that was gathering killing intent, but was also heading in his direction.

Ye Chen was extremely surprised.

He could hardly believe his eyes.

Is this fake?

However, Ye Chen was not giving up.

He still controlled the formation with his divided soul, causing a terrifying killing intent to gather within it once again.

In an instant, flames powerful enough to incinerate even those at the Life Wheel Realm swept from all sides of the formation toward Gu Jian.

Within the grand formation, numerous illusory figures also appeared.

There were a total of twelve phantom figures, each with a body height of a hundred feet!

Like a god of war, he raised his foot and stomped towards Gu Jian.

However, they had not yet touched Gu Jian's body.

Gu Jian flashed and dodged away.

When it reappeared, it was already in front of Ye Chen.

A smile appeared on Gu Jian's face.

Upon seeing this, Ye Chen immediately panicked.

"How is this possible? How is this possible!"

"How could someone from a third-rate power in the Demon Kingdom possess such profound knowledge of formations?"

"Who...are you?"

Because he had previously looked down on Li Taibai, Ye Chen had never doubted Li Taibai's identity as the young master of a third-rate power.

I think he just got some opportunities at most.

However, he developed strong doubts about his identity.

"Guess who I am?"

Gu Jian smiled slightly; it was his signature smile.

That familiar smile seemed to remind Ye Chen of something, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

Then, Gu Jian's voice rang out again.

"I was thinking that it would be difficult to destroy your divided soul without anyone noticing. Now, you can die."

With a thought, Gu Jian summoned the Emperor's Banner in his hand.

A surge of power that draws in Yin spirits erupted from the Emperor's Banner, enveloping Ye Chen.

That is the nemesis of all souls, including Ye Chen's divided soul.

Ye Chen was horrified, and his soul screamed.

The next second, Gu Jian's Emperor Banner transformed into a vast net that descended from the heavens, suppressing everything.
