The moment this ghost clad in blue armor appeared, it immediately drew the attention of everyone present.
The Great Wilderness Python, in particular, looked extremely grim. What was this thing? Why didn't it appear when it tried to break through the formation? Did it only appear when it found the formation's core and attacked?
If that's the case, then the Great Wilderness Python itself had indeed not reached this point. At that moment, the Great Wilderness Python didn't think too much, but just stared intently at Chen Zhou, its eyes filled with hope. Just as Chen Zhou was about to break the formation, such a huge ghost appeared.
This made the Great Wilderness Python unsure of itself. After the previous attacks, Chen Zhou's true energy had been mostly depleted. Could it still break through the blood array while defeating this ghost?
This undoubtedly makes breaking the formation much more difficult.
"The formation has been set up, stop immediately!" Ji Lanying said quickly. Although her Tranquility Formation could continue indefinitely, the Great Wilderness Python would inevitably become suspicious.
After finishing the final work on the formation, Zhu Yuande and Zhu Yuancheng immediately stopped what they were doing.
"Senior sister, the formation has been set up. This formation is ranked in the Earth Rank among the formations set up by the Tianyun Association, and its strength is particularly terrifying. Moreover, it is extremely complex. It took the two of us to set it up together. He has now exhausted most of his true energy, and it is almost impossible for him to withstand the attack of the Azure Ghost Formation."
Zhu Yuande analyzed that he had great confidence in his Azure Ghost Array. In particular, the Tianyun Association was recently classifying and ranking the array diagrams on the continent, and the Azure Ghost Array was classified as Earth Rank, which showed just how powerful it was.
"The Tianyun Association divides formations into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow. What level of Earth-rank formation is this Azure Ghost Formation?" Ji Lanying asked.
Zhu Yuande thought for a moment and immediately replied, "It is a low-level Earth-rank formation."
"That's still impressive. The Azure Ghost Formation is one of the four great formations of our sect. If it were fully deployed, it would surely be able to kill this person instantly. It's a pity that you two only learned the basics and couldn't set it up completely," Ji Lanying said slowly.
Zhu Yuande and Zhu Yuancheng nodded in agreement. Indeed, they were unaware that the Azure Ghost Formation was a scaled-down version modified by their sect elders from the original Azure Ghost Formation, and its power was only fifty or sixty percent of the full version.
However, this was enough to deal with Chen Zhou, who was only at the Foundation Establishment stage.
Zhu Yuande and Zhu Yuancheng once used this formation to trap a powerful cultivator in the Heartbeat stage.
Chen Zhou was no longer able to focus all his energy on attacking the lines around the array's core, because the giant azure ghost beneath his feet had already launched an attack on him.
“This is not something from the Blood Array, it’s another array…” Elder Ren had excellent eyesight and immediately recognized the nature of the Azure Giant Ghost.
Although Chen Zhou didn't see it, he could roughly guess it.
He immediately looked at the three fellow disciples, only to see them standing upright and looking at him, without making any unusual moves.
"There are no other array masters here. It is these three who want to kill me." Chen Zhou had already roughly guessed in his mind.
“If you don’t die, they won’t survive. Now you’ve helped them find the core of the blood array and cut one of its lines. If you die now, it’ll be their turn. They think they can break the blood array.” Elder Ren said.
"Hmph, if I don't die, I will break the blood array, and the Great Wilderness Python will keep its promise and kill them." Chen Zhou revealed their motives in one sentence.
Indeed, when faced with life, everyone is selfish, especially at such a critical moment, who wouldn't want to protect themselves?
"What kind of formation is this?" Chen Zhou asked subconsciously, perhaps Elder Ren would know.
As Chen Zhou asked the question, the giant demon launched an attack on him.
A gigantic black hand descended upon Chen Zhou, but he used the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon technique, rendering the pressure of the blood array almost negligible, thus freeing him to move freely.
However, this enormous black hand was simply too big for Chen Zhou to dodge in time. If he were to dodge it, he would have to waste a lot of his true energy, which Chen Zhou was naturally unwilling to do.
I still need to break the formation later, so I must conserve my true energy.
Therefore, Chen Zhou was prepared to fight without using his true energy.
Chen Zhou raised his heavy-bladed sword and began to use the Xingyi Cloud Sword technique on the black hand of the giant azure ghost.
Sword techniques don't require much internal energy; it's just that sword techniques incorporating internal energy are more powerful and domineering.
Chen Zhou now intends to defeat this Azure Giant Ghost using only his swordsmanship.
Chen Zhou once heard the Third Elder say that there are people in this world who specialize in swordsmanship and, upon reaching mastery, their sword energy can surpass their true energy.
That is the Sword Immortal.
Chen Zhou just wanted to be a carefree person and didn't care about any of this. What was this talk about sword energy surpassing true energy? He already had true energy, so why should he think about sword energy? Wasn't that just asking for trouble?
Only now did Chen Zhou realize how important sword energy was.
If true qi is suppressed in battle, its recovery is very slow, and that's when sword qi becomes very useful.
"Bang... Crack crack crack..."
Chen Zhou's heavy sword clashed with the Azure Demon Black Ghost, producing a series of ear-piercing sounds.
"You actually think you can fight against my Azure Ghost Formation without using your true energy? You're really overestimating yourself," Zhu Yuande said disdainfully.
Although his true energy was inferior to Chen Zhou's, and his combat strength was also weaker than Chen Zhou's, his formation was extremely strong. In this respect, Zhu Yuande did not take Chen Zhou seriously at all.
Although he didn't know if he could find the core of the blood array like him, he remained confident in himself.
This person must have found the array's core through some means; it couldn't have been through their own array master skills.
Zhu Yuande was a devout believer.
After the collision, the sound disappeared. Chen Zhou was pressed down by the black palm and vanished without a trace. Even Chen Zhou himself could no longer be seen.
They could only vaguely see the golden light through the dark, ghostly mist.
That golden light was the golden light emitted by Chen Zhou's Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon.
After his first attack failed, Chen Zhou did not rush to use his true energy. Instead, he tried to recall the Sword Cloud Sword Technique in his mind. Although he had only learned the Form and Intent Cloud Sword, it could bring out many moves, all of which Chen Zhou had learned.
Even a salted fish has a plan. Chen Zhou said he would use swordsmanship to defeat this Azure Giant Ghost, and he was determined to use swordsmanship to defeat it. Not even ten oxen could pull him back. That's just how stubborn Chen Zhou is.
"Giant, take this!"
