Chapter 783: There Must Be a Plot

g Yuan in the pool of blood. He cursed inwardly, "What a waste, he can't even handle a mere servant from the Pulse Opening realm. If you had killed him sooner, there wouldn't be so much trouble!"Altho...Yue Qing only felt a flower in front of his eyes, and not only did he instantly lose sight of Jiang Yun, but the scenery around him had also completely changed!

What was originally empty and bare all around suddenly shot up, with towering mountains growing to surround him completely.

What's most peculiar is that these mountains are shaped like circles.

Moreover, the colors of these mountains are also extremely monotonous and eerie.

It's either black or white, there's no in-between!

The ground beneath one's feet, was no longer the irregular, fractured layers it once was.

Although it still has countless black cracks, the arrangement of these cracks is extremely regular, horizontal and vertical, crisscrossing!

Within the crevices, there were threads of unseen terror constantly flitting about.

Of course, with Yueqing's keen eyesight, he could immediately tell that he was now caught within an illusionary array.

As for formations, Yue Qing was clueless. However, he didn't seem too flustered either.

Because, in his opinion, this illusionary array must have been set up by Ginger Cloud.

Back then, when he was in the realm of mountains and seas, he also fell into the trap laid by Jiang Yun. That formation posed no threat to him whatsoever, not even a slight one.

So now, even if this illusion formation is advanced, relying on my own strength, as long as I am willing, I can also easily break it.

However, he didn't know that this illusionary array wasn't set up by Jiang Yun, but by the disciple of the Formation Dao Sect, Hou Muran. It was also Hou Muran's pinnacle work in the field of formation!

Even if Yue Qing's strength wasn't suppressed to the late Heavenly Protector Realm, he would still be trapped for at least three days!

But at this moment, Ginger Cloud crushed the formation stone, plunging Yue Qing into an illusionary array. His purpose, of course, wasn't to confine him for three days, but to utilize the power of the illusionary array to kill him!

Or, let's say, we meet our end together!

Because crushing the array stone would also put Jiang Yun into an illusionary array, Hou Muran had already told Jiang Yun the method to break the array in advance, so Jiang Yun had the advantage of knowing beforehand.

At this very moment, Jiang Yun stood high above Yue Qing, completely out of his sight. He looked down at the entire illusionary formation from a superior position.

This illusionary formation is like a Go board, covered with countless black and white pieces.

What Yue Qing saw with his own eyes, those black and white round mountains, were actually chess pieces from a game of Go.

And Yue Qing didn't even know, he himself had already become one of the pieces on this chessboard.

No matter how he moves, the surrounding chess pieces will move and change with him, keeping him always trapped among them.

Even if he destroys all the pieces around him, he cannot break free unless he can use brute force to destroy all the pieces and the entire chessboard.

To achieve this, besides consuming a massive amount of spiritual energy, it would also require a considerable amount of time.

And this is also why Hou Muran had such strong confidence in his own illusionary formation.

Of course, Ginger Cloud wouldn't just sit there and wait for Yue Qing to waste his spiritual energy and destroy the chessboard.

Because Yue Qing could wait, he couldn't wait.

Jiang Yun's life fire had once again become a tiny spark, constantly on the verge of extinguishing. Therefore, no matter what, he had to kill Yue Qing before he died.

Thus, Jiang Yun no longer hesitated. His figure flickered, disappearing like a ghost, melting into this illusionary formation.

Although Yue Qing didn't understand formations, he at least knew that while inside one, he couldn't act rashly.

Especially since Jiang Yun was hiding in a place he couldn't see at all, ready to attack him at any moment, so he wasn't in a hurry to break the formation.

Yue Qing took a deep breath without making a sound. The spiritual energy within him surged explosively, rolling wildly. Countless ice crystals appeared around him, within a radius of almost five zhang, densely packed.

The azure sword he always carried on his back was now floating automatically above his head, poised and ready to strike.

He was waiting for Ginger Cloud to take the initiative and attack him. As long as Ginger Cloud appeared within this five-zhang radius, he would know immediately.

As if sensing his readiness, the hidden Dao Sword appeared silently behind him, carrying an immensely sharp aura that pierced through the dense ice crystals.

"I knew you couldn't wait!"

With a cold snort, Yue Qing's big sleeves swirled, and the countless ice crystals swirling around him instantly split in half, condensing into an ice cone aimed at Zang Dao's sword.

And countless ice crystals floated in the air, still covering an area of five zhang in radius, firmly protecting him.

Although there was a green sword floating above his head, firstly, the green sword faced the Daoist artifact concealing the Dao Sword and couldn't exert much power at all;

Moreover, Yue Qing came to the prison for one purpose: this hidden Dao Sword.

Even if he came, he wouldn't dare to move at random. He could only stand still and couldn't know where Jiang Yun was, so he could only defend against him!

That's why he used an ice cone to counter, this way he wouldn't harm the Cang Dao Sword, and could also defuse Jiang Yun's attack!

"Clang!"

The impact of the Dao sword and icicle produced a sound like metal.

Although the glacier shattered and crumbled inch by inch, Jiang Yun's sword strike seemed to have been in vain.

And just then, the Tibetan sword struck again!

After yet again dissolving the attack of the Zangdao Jian with an ice cone, the Zangdao Jian unexpectedly launched a third assault.

Even then, in the following moments, under Jiang Yun's already extreme speed, the Zang Dao sword became like a continuous rain of needles, densely and constantly striking from countless positions towards Yue Qing.

Although every attack was effortlessly deflected by Yue Qing, Jiang Yun seemed tireless, determined to kill Yue Qing with the sword of the Hidden Dao!

This made Yue Qing's heart burn with anger, and he sneered, "Jiang Yun, I remember you have many tricks up your sleeve. Could it be that after coming to this prison, you have forgotten all your skills Now, you only use this sword"

Responding to Yueqing, was yet another barrage of Caitou swords, striking like a hailstorm.

Ginger Cloud acted as if she hadn't heard Yue Qing's words, refusing to respond at all.

Yue Qing's eyes flickered uncertainly, although the mocking words from his mouth seemed to completely ignore Jiang Yun's attack.

But in fact, a growing unease began to stir within his heart.

Through his last encounter with Jiang Yun, he realized that Jiang Yun's methods were so numerous and appalling that he was completely caught off guard.

Although Jiang Yun didn't know about his arrival beforehand and hadn't made any heavy preparations, he definitely still had other means.

However, Gingercloud kept attacking with his sword even though he knew it couldn't possibly threaten him...

"There must be something fishy going on!"

His sword attack was merely a disguise, the true purpose was to deliberately mislead me, and once I relaxed my guard, he would unleash his real killing blow!

Thinking of this, Yue Qing couldn't help but sneer in his heart: "When I relax, I'm afraid the power of that secret technique on you will have disappeared!"

"You're the one who's anxious, so I'll play along with you. I want to see what tricks you have up your sleeve!"

Thinking of this, Yue Qing simply made up his mind and continuously condensed ice crystals to meet Jiang Yun's Cang Dao Sword again and again.

Such a battle lasted for a full half hour. Even Yue Qing couldn't remember how many times he had repelled Zang Daojian's attacks, nor did he know how long this monotonous, even boring, fight would continue.

And when he once again parried the Taoist sword, he suddenly felt the surrounding atmosphere become chaotic.

This made his eyes flash with a cold light, knowing that Jiang Yun's killing move was finally about to appear.
