The Art of Chaotic Divinity-Chapter 757: Mystic Eight-Array Diagram

"Junior Sister Yue..."

Lu Qingshan's eyelids twitched slightly, but he didn't directly refute Yue Yunlan's words.

"In any case, it's better to be cautious."

Li Yunting couldn't help but feel uneasy when he thought about Ling Feng's terrifying rate of improvement.

Subconsciously, he glanced at Mu Liufeng, who had been sitting silently nearby. Mu Liufeng sighed inwardly, I hope this guy can hold on until the end of the match.

...

On the sword fighting platform.

After both sides exchanged names, the match officially began with the judge's command.

Central Court's Sword Team immediately formed their formation, pressing into the free-for-all zone. Their captain, Luo Hong, along with two other team members, launched an aggressive assault in a triangular formation against East Court's Sword Team.

Typically, most teams would adopt a defensive stance when facing East Court's Sword Team, fearing Ling Feng's individual strength. However, Central Court's Second Team had chosen to take the initiative and attack.

"A very smart choice. The best defense is offense!"

On the judges' platform, Tong Chengtai stroked his long beard, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"Luo Hong is indeed impressive, but Ling Feng's speed is a major headache. Even if their triangular formation manages to trap Ling Feng, the pressure from Li Bufan and Gu Tengfeng is equally formidable. They can't possibly expect their flag keeper to handle the rest of the team alone!"

"Haha, I'm quite curious to see what other trump cards Central Court's Second Team has."

On the sword fighting platform, the situation changed rapidly.

The triangular assault formation led by Luo Hong immediately locked down Ling Feng.

The three of them worked in perfect unison, continuously attacking Ling Feng. Even Ling Feng, for the moment, could only focus on defending, unable to break through.

After all, this was just a competition, not a life-and-death battle.

According to the rules of the match, killing or intentionally severely injuring an opponent was prohibited. These constraints made team-based sword fighting competitions more about tactics and skill.

Of course, matches where both sides signed a consent form for a life-and-death battle were a different matter entirely.

"Hehe, locking down Ling Feng's movements first is indeed clever, but they seem to be underestimating me, Gu Tengfeng."

Gu Tengfeng sneered and shouted, "Bufan, follow me in! Gong Cheng, fall back to the flag-guarding zone and assist Xiaolin in defense. Be wary of any sneak attacks from the opponent!"

Li Bufan and Gong Cheng nodded and immediately sprang into action.

Li Bufan moved like a thunderstorm, sweeping through the free-for-all zone with overwhelming force.

At the same time, Gu Tengfeng also launched his assault. The two of them advanced side by side, facing the remaining two members of Central Court's Second Team like wolves among sheep.

With Luo Hong, their strongest member, occupied with Ling Feng, the other two stood no chance against their onslaught.

However, instead of panicking in the face of Li Bufan and Gu Tengfeng's fierce assault, the two opponents revealed strange smiles.

"Mystic Eight-Array Diagram!"

As the last member of Central Court's Second Team retreated further, luring Li Bufan and Gu Tengfeng into the offense-defence zone, their flag keeper shouted. Instantly, eight pillars of light erupted from the ground, swirling around Li Bufan and Gu Tengfeng like the movement of stars, forming a net that trapped the two of them.

"Not good, it's an array master!"

Gu Tengfeng's eyelids twitched, but it was too late. They had already fallen into the opponent's array diagram.

Before their eyes, a dense fog enveloped them. Gu Tengfeng and Li Bufan were now trapped within the Mystic Eight-Array Diagram.

"We were too careless!"

Gu Tengfeng gripped his sword tightly. The Mystic Eight-Array Diagram was somewhat like an illusion technique. If they couldn't break through the array, they would be lost in the illusion, unable to escape.

What made matters worse was that they were still on the sword fighting platform. The remaining member of the opposing team could attack them at any time.

A single moment of carelessness, and the opponent could seize the opportunity to incapacitate them.

It turned out that the strongest member of Central Court's Second Team wasn't their captain, Luo Hong, but their flag keeper—a mysterious array master.

Array masters might not be strong in direct combat, but once they trapped their opponents within their formations, they became god-like.

It was no exaggeration to say that a powerful array master could hold off an entire army.

Unfortunately, while becoming an array master was relatively easy for beginners, mastering the art was extremely difficult. In the entire Tianbai Empire, array masters were a rare talent.

And yet, Central Court's Second Team had hidden such a formidable array master in their ranks. They had kept this secret well.

"Haha! Who would've thought that Gu Tengfeng would be so reckless, dragging Li Bufan along as he charged straight into Liang Xiao's Mystic Eight-Array Formation!"

In the spectator stands, Lu Qingshan of Central Court's Sword Team burst into laughter. "It looks like East Court is going to lose this first round!"

Li Yunting did not refute Lu Qingshan this time. With Li Bufan and Gu Tengfeng trapped in the Mystic Eight-Array Formation and Ling Feng encircled by three opponents, the only one left, Gong Cheng, was utterly powerless.

East Court's Sword Team was likely to lose—unless Ling Feng revealed his true strength.

But would Ling Feng really expose his strength for the sake of one round?

After all, regardless of whether they won or lost this round, they had already secured their qualification for the next stage. Moreover, there were still two more matches to come, and it would be difficult for Central Court's Second Team to use the same tactic again.

"Damn it, how did Ling Feng get trapped so quickly?"

Qin Wanwan gritted her teeth in frustration. "This is so sneaky! The opponents are too sneaky!"

Lin Xian'er also waved her fists excitedly. "Ling Feng, what are you waiting for? Use that sword technique of yours and break through!"

"This is outrageous! Using three people to block Ling Feng? How shameless!"

Deng Yongshi was so anxious that she kept shaking her grandfather's arm, her brows furrowed tightly. She seemed even more agitated than the competitors on the stage.

"..."

General Deng was at a loss for words. This was supposed to be called tactics, right?

But explaining that to a teenage girl overwhelmed by emotions was probably pointless.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Ling Feng's sword speed suddenly increased, clashing with Luo Hong and the others' blades, sending sparks flying in all directions.

"Hmph, if you want to break through our golden triangle, you'll have to kill us all!"

Luo Hong tightly gripped his sword. The scales of victory were tipping in favor of Central Court's Second Team!

This might be their only chance to win.

No matter what, Luo Hong would never give up, and neither would his teammates!

Ling Feng felt somewhat helpless. These guys were defending so tightly that they gave him no chance to break through.

Moreover, with their three-in-one formation, their combat power had reached a level comparable to the Spiritual Element Realm. If he didn't use some powerful techniques, he really wouldn't be able to break through.

But if he used such techniques, his opponents would likely end up severely injured, if not dead.

Who would have thought that having opponents who were too weak could also be a burden, leaving him restrained.

However, Ling Feng wasn't worried. The key to this match's outcome didn't lie with him. He just needed to sit back and let things play out.
