Chapter 428: Phantom Killing Array
During the battle, Xiao Changheng never swung his sword again. He defended steadily and thought about countermeasures.
While using the Xuan Yu Blade to fight the enemy, he could still vaguely feel that as long as he did not cut out the sword energy and only fought against the opponent's weapon, the spiritual power consumption of this sword was extremely low and there was no need to worry about it being used up.
He felt more at ease, and while continuing to knock away the incoming hidden darts, he was also on guard against any changes in the opponent's mechanical weapons. At the same time, he flexibly changed the direction of his steps, looking for a breakthrough.
Yuwen Ye stood aside, watching the battle leisurely, tapping his palm nonchalantly with the folding fan in his hand.
He suddenly raised his eyebrows, observed Xiao Changheng's seemingly random movements, and narrowed his eyes.
After a moment, Yuwen Ye showed a meaningful smile, moved his body, changed his position in an instant, and opened the folding fan in his hand.
Almost at the same time, Xiao Changheng moved quickly, finding a gap in the siege of four people, and quickly withdrew to break out of the encirclement.
But he saw Yuwen Ye standing in front of him with a smile on his face, throwing the folding fan in his hand, which spun and turned into a blade of light that attacked him!
At the same time, the four people behind him blocked his retreat, and the hidden darts were fired at him without leaving any blind spots!
Yuwen Ye showed a determined smile.
However, Xiao Changheng's expression did not waver at all. There was murderous intent in his eyes. He swung his sword violently and swept it around. When he ended the attack, he turned to the four people behind him with his back to Yuwen Ye.
The sharp sword energy that was slashed out turned into a circle of light and spread out, heading straight towards Yuwen Ye and his four men!
At the same time, the light blade transformed from the folding fan went straight to the back of Xiao Changheng, and in front of him were overwhelming hidden darts, and it was too late to block them.
Yu Wen Ye's pupils suddenly shrank, and he instinctively jumped to avoid the powerful sword energy. It was too late for him to retract the folding fan.
"You're crazy!" he exclaimed.
This person actually gave up on defense and was determined to die together!
Yuwen Ye dodged the sword energy, and several stone pillars behind him were cut off and fell to the ground with a roar.
The four men on the other side had no time to react and could only desperately use their magic weapons and armor to protect themselves, but they were still knocked back and vomited blood.
The dark darts in the sky and the light blades transformed from the folding fan all hit Xiao Changheng.
Yuwen Ye watched this scene with his breath held.
Not to mention those hidden darts, just his folding fan alone, if it hit an ordinary person with no cultivation, not only would his body be shattered to pieces, but even his soul would be pierced.
At this moment, all he could think about was how he would explain to Yun Qingqing if the Regent died in his hands.
But he heard a series of sharp clinking sounds, and all the hidden darts were bounced away. His folding fan also deviated from its trajectory with a loud bang, and returned to his hand in an arc.
He widened his eyes and saw Xiao Changheng turning around unharmed, looking at him coldly with a knife in hand.
He was wearing a set of jet-black light armor, which glowed with the same cold light as the knife in his hand.
Yuwen Ye had never seen the materials of the light armor and the sword, but he could tell that this thing was not simple.
There was a complicated look in his eyes. He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly chuckled:
“Heh… no wonder, you have this trump card… You are worthy of being the Liang Kingdom’s God of War, you are indeed a master of planning and strategizing!”
Yuwen Ye's words were sincere.
Even though the magic weapon in Xiao Changheng's hand is extraordinary, he himself has no cultivation at all after all.
In this situation, being able to fight against multiple people from the Xuanmen alone and not be at a disadvantage is an incredible ability.
But that’s not all.
Xiao Changheng clearly had top-grade protective gear to protect himself, but he could resist not using it, just to catch his opponent off guard at the most critical moment.
Moreover, it was not until Xiao Changheng attacked and severely injured his four men that Yuwen Ye finally confirmed that the direction he had just predicted that Xiao Changheng would retreat was a deliberate illusion he had created!
Even though Yuwen Ye has always been confident in his own plans, he has to admit that the regent in front of him is no less scheming than himself.
Although his four men were seriously injured and had lost their fighting power, he was not annoyed. He played with the folding fan in his hand and looked at Xiao Changheng with a slight smile:
"How about a deal?"
Xiao Changheng looked at him coldly without answering.
Yuwen Ye smiled calmly and said:
"As long as you are willing to give the Nine-Colored Magic Ganoderma to me, I can set any conditions you want."
"Impossible." Xiao Changheng refused without hesitation.
"Don't be so confident!" Yuwen Ye still looked at him with a smile, "I am willing to discuss this with you because I don't want to take action. You should think it through. If I take action seriously, you have no chance of winning."
Xiao Changheng's face was gloomy, and he spoke word by word:
"You can try again."
Yuwen Ye's perfect smile broke, and a cold look flashed in his eyes:
"Since you insist on being stubborn, don't blame me for being rude!"
After saying that, he threw the folding fan towards Xiao Changheng and made a hand gesture with one hand.
The folding fan spun rapidly again, turning into a blade of light that attacked Xiao Changheng's face.
Xiao Changheng raised his sword to block, but the folding fan seemed to have life and automatically started fighting with him.
While Yuwen Ye was controlling the folding fan, he took the opportunity to deal with the fan to take out a jade-carved round plate from his sleeve and injected spiritual power into it with finger gestures.
After a moment, the disc suddenly emitted a faint light, and Yuwen Ye threw it towards Xiao Changheng with one hand.
Xiao Changheng had been paying attention to his movements since the beginning, and without knowing what he was throwing, he tried to avoid it immediately.
However, Yuwen Ye sneered and made a hand gesture, and the folding fan suddenly became more fierce and attacked relentlessly for several moves.
Xiao Changheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he had no desire to fight. He swung his long sword vigorously, slashing at the folding fan, sending it flying further away. Then he rushed out of the battle circle and left.
However, within just one or two breaths, the glowing jade disc had already emitted light above Xiao Changheng, and a formation unfolded, trapping him in it.
This formation is ten feet long. Once it is deployed, phantoms will immediately appear in the formation, including ferocious beasts, evil spirits, demons and monsters... It is bizarre and full of dangers.
These phantoms did not actively attack, but were scattered throughout the formation, wandering seemingly aimlessly, coming into being and disappearing.
But Xiao Changheng soon discovered that whenever the phantom approached, he would feel dizzy.
He realized that this was a mental attack, and immediately focused his mind, stood still, and slowly moved away when the phantom came towards him, trying his best to avoid the impact of the mental attack.
Yuwen Ye raised his hand, and the folding fan flew back into his palm. He looked towards the formation with a smile:
"This Illusion Killing Formation focuses on the mind. Even a master of the Xuan Sect would have to think twice. Xiao Changheng, can an ordinary person like you withstand the mental attack of the Illusion Killing Formation?"
