"What kind of formation is this?"
Lu Chen didn't know much about formations, but Hong Luan, who was an expert in weapon crafting, was very proficient.
Having spent so many years in this Demon-Suppressing Tower, Hongluan has learned quite a few strange and unusual things in her spare time.
The Demon Suppression Tower contains some cultivation techniques and secret manuals left behind by its former master. Although they are all low-level and Lu Chen doesn't care about them, they are rare treasures for these demon beasts.
However, demon beasts don't have much talent for cultivating unorthodox methods, and Hongluan accumulated her talent little by little.
"Master, this formation should be the Illusion Bewitching Formation."
"A phantom illusion array? What is that? Is it difficult to break?"
Lu Chen frowned slightly. He had no interest in formations and didn't want to waste time learning them. He figured it was enough that someone around him knew about them.
"It's not difficult. This illusionary bewildering array uses the natural shape of this lake to create a maze. It's not very powerful, but it can make people lose their way! All you need to do is kill the person controlling the array, find the array's core, and destroy it."
Hongluan was very confident in this; this kind of formation was not too difficult for her.
Lu Chen felt relieved upon hearing this.
"It seems those two guys from the Wuji Sect are really relentlessly pursuing me. Well, I'll take care of them while I'm at it."
Lu Chen already knew that the people from Wuji Sect had gone to Wanjian Sect to seek revenge, but they were blocked by the Baiyun Hall he had left behind, and eight of their disciples were killed in the process, resulting in heavy losses.
The two people chasing him should be two Venerables from the Wuji Sect.
"Then let's go down and take a look."
A look of tension suddenly appeared on Lu Chen's face. His body slowly descended, falling towards the original lake surface.
On the other side, however, Meng Fan and Luo Fan saw a completely different scene.
Lu Chen, who was flying, suddenly stopped in mid-air. After looking around, he chose to descend, but landed right in the trap they had set.
"Here it comes! Try my illusionary bewitching array!"
A smile appeared on Meng Fan's face. The plan had succeeded, and the target was now trapped. The crucial moment had arrived.
"This illusionary bewitching array is no simple matter. Let's both work together to catch him off guard."
Luo Fan also revealed a cold smile.
Lu Chen landed on the small island in the lake in front of him, and when his feet touched the ground, it felt incredibly real.
But he knew very well that there was no island here at all, but rather a small lake.
"Look what you guys are up to!"
Lu Chen looked around, and suddenly, the island began to shake violently.
The ground split open, revealing a giant claw.
A gigantic, ferocious-looking monster crawled out from the depths of the ground and charged directly at Lu Chen.
"Even if it's an illusion, how can it be made so realistic?"
Lu Chen shook his head. He had never been misled. Facing the monster that was rushing towards him, a long sword suddenly appeared in his hand, and he swung it lightly.
The extremely sharp sword energy suddenly cleaved through the void, directly striking the monster.
The monster let out a miserable cry as it was cleaved in two by the sword, vanishing into nothingness.
"It really was fake."
Lu Chen shook his head inwardly.
Just then, dozens of enormous figures suddenly appeared around them, completely different from the monster from before.
Judging from their appearance, they were all bizarre and strange, and were all kinds of monsters that Lu Chen had never seen before.
The monsters roared and pounced on Lu Chen all at once.
"It seems those two won't come out unless we put on an act."
The sword in Lu Chen's hand once again burst forth with dazzling light. This sword energy was even more fierce than before. This sword directly cleaved one of the demonic beasts in two, and its momentum did not diminish. It directly decapitated the companions behind that demonic beast.
At this moment, the other demonic beasts pounced on Lu Chen's side, some opening their mouths full of fangs and biting at him.
Some of them brandished their sharp claws and lunged at Lu Chen.
Some even tried to entangle him directly, attempting to whip Lu Chen to death.
Faced with the sudden onslaught of demonic beasts from all directions, a look of panic flashed across Lu Chen's face as he frantically swung his sword, hacking and slashing wildly.
In an instant, the entire lake surface was filled with a chilling aura of swordsmanship.
"That kid is about to give up, senior brother, let's go together."
Luo Fan was starting to get restless.
"superior."
Meng Fan stared intently at Lu Chen.
At this moment, the demonic beasts around Lu Chen vanished one by one, but he found that there were more and more demonic beasts, appearing one after another. After killing them in batches, a look of fear finally appeared on his face.
Lu Chen was fighting against a non-existent demonic beast, seemingly trapped in a desperate situation, when suddenly two incredibly terrifying attacks came from the left and right.
"Finally willing to come out?"
Guided by Hongluan, Lu Chen naturally knew that everything he saw was not real, and that he was fighting to the death against a non-existent demon beast.
The reason for this must be that it was a trap set by the other party, and he was constantly on guard against their sneak attack.
Sure enough, as soon as they saw that they were in dire straits, the two Venerables jumped out.
"It seems that the Wuji Sect is nothing special after all."
A smile appeared on Lu Chen's face. Suddenly, he thrust his sword to the left with force. This sword strike concentrated 60% of his power, and the sword energy surged as soon as it was unleashed.
This move is called "Ten Thousand Swords Return to One".
This is the strongest move of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect's signature technique, but in Lu Chen's hands, it is something he can use effortlessly and casually.
"What?"
Just as Luo Fan was about to approach Lu Chen to launch a sneak attack, Lu Chen blocked the attack with his sword.
If he didn't stop attacking, he would inevitably run into Lu Chen's sword, but if he stopped, he would be exposed to Lu Chen.
Luo Fan reacted extremely quickly, immediately dropping to avoid Lu Chen's attack. At that moment, his senior brother slashed at Lu Chen's neck with his sword.
"Boy, prepare to die."
A ruthless glint flashed in Meng Fan's eyes. He recalled that he, a dignified Venerable, had resorted to sneak attack to deal with the leader of a third-rate sect. If this got out, he would probably become a laughing stock.
But at this moment, there's no time to worry about that.
Think of the eight Wuji Sect disciples under his tutelage, and think of his deceased junior brother.
This person is doomed.
"They didn't even feel my sneak attack. Is this what they call the innate sword body? It's nothing special."
A hint of mockery flashed in Meng Fan's eyes. Once this blade struck, a head would fly off, and he would immediately chop the person into a pile of minced meat, then reduce him to ashes.
But at that moment, Lu Chen suddenly turned around and smiled at him.
That smile sent a chill down Meng Fan's spine.
