The trump cards used before are no longer convenient to use. The tenth level of the Yuncang Sword Technique was used once when dealing with Xu Jingwen. The instantaneous sword formation was also seen by everyone during the battle of a hundred people.
The only solution now is...
Ji Mofan gripped the Embracing Snow Sword tightly, and suddenly unleashed a burst of icy spiritual energy onto the ground. This not only neutralized the scorching heat but also propelled him into the air, allowing him to finally catch a breath of some cooler air.
Xia Langye on the arena did not rush to catch up. He looked up at Ji Mofan, who was suspended in mid-air, and a confident smile appeared on his lips.
He was virtually unknown in the cultivation world for many years, and it was only through a fortuitous encounter in a secret realm two years ago that he was able to defy fate.
Not only did he find a divine weapon, but with the help of the inheritance from his predecessors, his strength improved by leaps and bounds in a short period of time. He was no longer daring to dream of participating in the Dao Inquiry Tournament, but now he has the strength to stand on the final stage.
It's not just that he can stand here... he can actually compete on the same stage as Ji Mo Fan, who was very famous a few years ago.
He tightened his grip on his sword.
People from Jimo are suspended in mid-air, so their view of the scenery below is naturally more comprehensive.
Xia Langye's slightly arrogant expression did not escape his eyes, and a very faint hint of mockery flashed in Ji Mofan's half-closed eyes.
The dust hasn't settled yet, what kind of fireworks is he going to set off in this half of the game?
A fake is a fake. If the person standing here today were Li Jinchu, he would never have let such a good opportunity to attack slip by because of his arrogance.
With Ji Mofan's body suspended in mid-air, if he were to seize the opportunity to launch an attack, Ji Mofan would most likely have no way to avoid it.
But he just stood there, motionless, letting the opportunity slip through his fingers.
Ji Mofan's lips curled upwards slightly, almost imperceptibly.
Then don't blame him.
The air was now filled with tiny ice crystals.
Xia Langye hesitated subtly for a moment, unsure whether Ji Mofan was preparing to smash it down or had some other plan.
But it was in that moment of hesitation that he bought Ji Mofan the last bit of time.
Although his thought process went through a hundred and eight twists and turns, in reality, the time from when Ji Mofan was forced to jump from the arena into the air by Xia Langye was only half a second.
Therefore, from the perspective of the surrounding audience, it appeared as if Ji Mofan suddenly leaped into the air, while Xia Langye, who was standing on the arena, had just raised his head when he was suddenly illuminated by the icy blue spiritual light.
Ji Mofan unleashed a sword formation in mid-air.
The spiritual energy surged and flowed into it, swirling and condensing with the force of thunder. The air pressure was almost suffocating, and Xia Langye, who was in close proximity, shrank his pupils and got into a fighting stance.
However, the rapidly unfolding formation did not immediately strike him.
Although the battles on the other arenas were also intense, none were as eye-catching as Ji Mofan's display of such a large sword formation in mid-air. It immediately attracted many gazes, and everyone whispered among themselves about his pause.
"What is Ji Mo Fan doing? If he smashes down this formation, the competition will be at least half over!"
"What's there to hesitate about? Does he think he's waiting for Xia Langye to be scared and then admit defeat on his own?"
"No, look at his formation, isn't there something wrong with how it's drawn?"
"I don't understand formations... What problem did you see?"
"Why are all his runes written backwards?"
"Huh? You're looking in the wrong direction, aren't you? Are you looking at it from the back?"
"No, I mean the order of his words is reversed!"
"What? What's he up to?"
"Isn't the strangest thing that he can make the formation look like it's working normally even though he's doing all this?!"
Sitting in the players' section, Xiao Wangyan couldn't help but stand up from his seat.
This is bad, I have a very bad feeling. My sixth sense tells me that the best thing to do right now is to get out of here as quickly as possible.
But... he wasn't willing.
Qu Jin, who was on the viewing platform, kept glancing at his little puppet, occasionally glancing in his direction. If he left now, who knew what might happen next?
It wasn't that he was afraid of what Qu Jin might do, but rather that he was afraid of watching a spectacle without being there.
Hearing a secondhand account is never as good as seeing it with your own eyes.
But if we don't leave now...
He felt a suction force coming from the outside.
The demonic energy that unconsciously emanated from his body seemed to be caught in a vortex, all rushing towards a central point.
At first, it only attracted the demonic energy leaking out around him, but later it went even further and tried to steal it from his spiritual center. He was so angry that he almost laughed. He looked at the figure standing in the center of the formation on the Vermilion Bird Arena with unusual hostility.
Ji Mofan's cloud-colored clothes rippled like waves in the swirling wind, his power gathered by the array beneath his feet and condensed in the Snow Embracing Sword in his hand.
The cold blue sword was now covered by a dark red, and the aura emanating from it made all the righteous cultivators present feel clearly displeased.
"What kind of formation did Ji Mo Fan use...?"
"I don't understand. The Spirit Gathering Array is written backwards? What kind of strategy is this?"
"How disgusting, is that demonic energy?"
"No way, I've never seen what demonic energy looks like."
"Shouldn't we be wondering why there is demonic energy in the cultivation world?!"
"It's strange that Ji Mo Fan can control demonic energy!"
Of course there is no demonic energy in the cultivation world, but he, the Demon Lord, does have it—the discussions of the onlookers reached Xiao Wangyan's ears, and he laughed several times in anger.
He really dares to dream of such a lousy little puppet!
As the name suggests, the function of the Spirit Gathering Array is to accumulate the surrounding spiritual energy. In this way, as long as the user stands at the array's core, without moving a single finger, the spiritual energy will automatically flow into his body for his use.
The demon realm also has similar demon-gathering formations that can attract surrounding demonic energy, but they are written in a completely different way. All rune pages must be written with demonic energy to be effective.
But perhaps influenced by his claim that Lu Tong's puppet-making principle was based on the mutual generation and restraint of demonic energy and spiritual energy, the child actually came up with the idea of using spiritual energy to drive demonic energy.
The question is, did he actually succeed?
No, how dare he do that? Did he come up with a brilliant idea on the arena of the Dao Inquiry Tournament? Wasn't he afraid that he might accidentally mess things up and suffer serious injuries from the backlash of the formation?
Whether it's formations, runes, or sword manuals, they are all optimal combinations determined by countless predecessors through numerous experiments. Unauthorized alterations will at best significantly reduce their power, and at worst, turn them into a bomb!
