Daoist Competition-Chapter 953 - 216: Hidden Whale Sea Power Formation (Part 2)

This elder is another elder from Bijiao Prefecture, and upon hearing the words, he first looked at the two people in the arena, then silently nodded.

At this moment on the field, Zhang Yan sent forth the Qiankun Leaf once again. This time, the Golden Robed Elder was already prepared and not in a hurry to attack, keeping the treasure hovering above his head. As the golden light was about to fall, he let out a cold laugh, suddenly transforming into a silver rainbow flying swiftly away, allowing the golden light to miss.

Zhang Yan couldn’t help but nod. The treasures in a cultivator’s hands naturally have their strengths and weaknesses. The Qiankun Leaf was originally a defensive item, inferior for attacking the enemy. The fact that the Golden Robed Elder could discern its weakness in an instant was quite impressive. These East Sea cultivators, whether in eyesight or cultivation, are indeed not comparable to the Central Pillar Continent cultivators.

However, after the previous exchanges, he had already probed out the elder’s background. At this point, he already had a plan in mind. He smiled faintly, maneuvered his flying sword, and slashed toward his head.

The Golden Robed Elder saw the flying sword coming again and was greatly irritated.

He had been looking for an opportunity to use his Nine Phase Divine Power since the start of the battle, but Zhang Yan’s attacks were as unending as tides, giving him no chance to make a move, causing a pent-up frustration. At this moment, seeing the sword ball coming again, confident in his ability to block it, he simply didn’t dodge but only kept an eye on the Qiankun Leaf, while his mind sank, about to use his Daoist Skills.

Zhang Yan, seeing this, sneered, shook his sleeve, and brought out the Five Spirit White Carp Shuttle. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

As soon as this treasure appeared, it instantly stirred up spirit light, darted like a fish catching prey, and in a flash, traversed several tens of feet, crashing right onto the Golden Robed Elder’s protective treasure light.

The Golden Robed Elder was in full force resisting the sword ball while also keeping an eye on the Qiankun Leaf roaming in the air. Not anticipating that Zhang Yan had a supreme treasure, he was caught off guard. Amidst a loud bang, the protective treasure light was broken through.

With no more restraints, the Star Sword Ball fell like swift light. He endured the salty metallic taste surging in his throat, desperately twisted his body, but whether by luck or some other reason, with a cry of pain, he only lost an arm and did not lose his life.

The Eagle Nose Elder, who was spectating on the side, couldn’t bear to watch any longer. He quickly activated his tunneling light and flew into the arena, intending to lend a hand in aid.

Zhang Yan glanced over, laughed loudly, and said, "Good timing!"

He pointed with his hand, surprisingly redirecting his attack so that the Qiankun Leaf, Five Spirit White Carp Shuttle, and Star Sword Ball all flew toward this person. At the same time, he pointed again, and with a "crack," a Purple Cloud Divine Thunder struck down toward him.

The Eagle Nose Elder was shocked, having rushed over hurriedly, it was too late to summon his Dharma Treasure. He quickly released his Nascent Soul, and just as the protective treasure light arose, his body shook. Before his eyes flashed confusing purple light, his ears only heard the sound of explosive thunder, and he felt a heaviness in his chest, with unbearable pain throughout his body, knowing he’d already suffered severe injuries. However, he did not lose consciousness, and with a shout, decisively scattered the gang cloud atop his head, transforming it into a mass of treasure light that enveloped him.

This was the culmination of his several hundred years of cultivation, and it surprisingly blocked both the incoming Five Spirit White Carp Shuttle and the Star Sword Ball all at once.

Yet, while he avoided the fate of instant death, there was no escaping the Qiankun Leaf. A beam of golden light descended from above and instantly enveloped him.

Lu Yuanxing was also intending to assist, but the rapid change in situation exceeded his expectations, causing him to hesitate. By the time he actually made a move, it was already a step too late. A gang thunder struck and hit the golden light, but only ripples of golden light spread out like water, unable to penetrate.

Zhang Yan sneered coldly, waved his sleeve, and took a step forward, entering the golden light.

Seeing this scene, his expression inevitably turned grim. At this moment, the Golden Robed Elder came holding his wound. Having narrowly escaped with his life, he was still somewhat in shock, weakly saying, "Pavilion Master, this man is hard to defeat. Quickly activate the formation to deal with him."

However, Lu Yuanxing appeared hesitant, as if he was concerned about something.

The Golden Robed Elder hurriedly said, "Pavilion Master! This man is familiar with True Master Tao, there might be something else up his sleeve. If we don’t deploy the formation now, it will be too late."

Lu Yuanxing’s expression turned stern. He nodded vigorously, turned around, shouted loudly, "Activate the formation!"

Beside the sea boat, several demon generals received the order, immediately moved their golden spears, waved large flags behind them, and as a drumbeat sounded, a thousand flagpoles rose like a forest, a column of spirit light pierced into the clouds, sea waves surged tumultuously, and over three hundred thousand demon soldiers shouted in unison, their voices shocking the heavens and earth, echoing for miles.

A vast black smoke rose over the sea, with the sounds of chanting. Vaguely, countless hundred-foot-long flood dragons could be seen swimming within.

This formation is called the "Hidden Whale Sea Power Formation," with a True Artifact suppressing it. When Bijiao Prefecture established their territory on the sea, they only had tens of thousands of divisions, but with this formation, they were able to dominate the East Sea. Though there is no longer a Cave Heaven True Master presiding, it can still be barely tamed.

Zhang Yan had been in the Qiankun Leaf only for a few breaths of time, and had already slain the gravely injured Eagle Nose Elder. When he emerged, the scene had drastically changed, and his eyebrows rose involuntarily.

As he looked around, he could only see things within ten feet, and he understood immediately that an array was unfolding.

At this moment, with the sound of a drum from within the formation, several dragon-shaped golden chains suddenly flew out, locking toward him one by one.

With a thought, the Star Sword Ball flew forth, circled in the sky, severing them into two.

Yet these golden chains seemed endless, emerging continuously with the drumbeats within the formation. In no time, thousands appeared, covering the sky with linked golden locks, like a net descending from the heavens.

Zhang Yan shouted, a giant hand emerged above, striking upward with a thunderous clap, scattering hundreds of golden chains.

At this moment, Lu Yuanxing’s voice came from within the formation: "Zhang Yan, no matter how capable you are, you are but one person. My three hundred thousand soldiers have formed a great array here. You killed my prefecture’s elder, today you will find no escape!"
