Chapter 192 The Key to Breaking the Formation

“According to Qin Long, this cultivator named Kong Fang has only reached the peak of the Entering Spirit Realm, but he is very powerful and can even defeat cultivators in the Ascending Spirit Realm. It is already quite amazing that a cultivator in the Entering Spirit Realm can cross the realm and defeat a cultivator in the Ascending Spirit Realm, but he... has actually realized how to release the power of the soul at the peak of the Entering Spirit Realm. Although it is only a simple prototype at present, this prototype has stumped countless cultivators.” Although they are opponents, Qin Zhengfeng could not help but be shocked by Kong Fang’s brilliance, and there was even a hint of jealousy in his heart.

The other seven cultivators at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm also looked at Kong Fang in shock. As cultivators at the Spirit Transformation Realm, they had all experienced such a process and could naturally see Kong Fang's current state.

"You have five breaths to swear an oath, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless." Qin Zhengfeng's eyes flashed with cold murderous intent, and he suddenly turned around to look at Huangfu Qi.

"Leave, stay away." Kong Fang's voice was still a little ethereal, as if it came from another time and space. Although it could be heard very clearly, it felt a little hazy and strange, not quite real.

Huangfu Qi took a deep look at Kong Fang, and then took a look at Qin Zhengfeng and others who had set up the Eight Spirit Formation. His deep gaze seemed to want to remember everyone.

In the end, Huangfu Qi made a vow.

As soon as Huangfu Qi made the oath, Qin Zhengfeng immediately manipulated the formation to open a passage, allowing Zong Jue and Huangfu Qi to leave.

At this time, Zong Jue did something that surprised Huangfu Qi. Zong Jue actually grabbed Huangfu Qi's arm and led him directly out of the formation, and then pulled Huangfu Qi to fly away quickly.

Huangfu Qi was stunned for a moment, and let Zong Jue take him away quickly.

Qin Zhengfeng glanced coldly at Zong Jue and the other man who were flying away quickly. Then he suddenly turned back and shouted: "Qin Yi, Qin Shixing, the two of you, take this boy down immediately. The Eight Spirits Formation will be maintained by the six of us."

"Yes."

This formation has a total of eight corners, and each Spiritual Transformation Realm cultivator occupies one corner. After hearing Qin Zhengfeng's words, two cultivators quickly walked out of two of the corners, and then rushed directly towards Kong Fang, one on the left and one on the right.

Qin Yi and Qin Shixing were very fast, and they were obviously not ordinary Transformation Realm cultivators. It was very likely that they had already reached the middle stage of the Transformation Realm.

When Qin Yi and Qin Shixing rushed over quickly, Kong Fang, who was immersed in that strange state, immediately "discovered" it.

"Swoosh", Kong Fang flew back quickly, leaving only a silver light on the ground, avoiding the attack from Qin Yi and Qin Shixing.

"Hmm?" Qin Zhengfeng's eyes flashed with surprise when he found that Kong Fang's speed was not slower than Qin Yi and the others. "He is only at the peak of the Entry Spirit Realm, but his speed is not inferior to Qin Yi and Qin Shixing at the middle stage of the Transformation Spirit Realm. This is impossible."

Qin Zhengfeng thought this was impossible based on his past experience, but the scene before him overturned his understanding. Qin Zhengfeng's eyes were extremely solemn. "The improvement in strength from the Entry Spirit Realm to the Ascension Spirit Realm is limited. If a cultivator in the Entry Spirit Realm possesses extremely powerful Dao techniques, it is possible for him to defeat a cultivator in the Ascension Spirit Realm. However, no matter how powerful a cultivator in the Entry Spirit Realm is, he can never be compared with a cultivator in the Transformation Spirit Realm. This is absolutely impossible. Even a cultivator at the peak of the Ascension Spirit Realm is no match for a cultivator in the early stage of the Transformation Spirit Realm, not to mention that his cultivation is only at the peak of the Entry Spirit Realm."

Qin Zhengfeng didn't know that Kong Fang, who was at the peak of the Entering Spirit Realm, defeated a cultivator at the peak of the Ascending Spirit Realm, not an ordinary Ascending Spirit Realm cultivator. Unfortunately, even Qin Long didn't know this, so naturally, Qin Zhengfeng and the others couldn't know it either.

Looking at Kong Fang who was dodging quickly in the formation, Qin Zhengfeng's eyes suddenly focused, "Hmm? There's something wrong with the armor on his body. His own magic power is not that strong, and he relies on the power of the armor. I thought it was just an ordinary full-body armor before, but now it seems it is not. No, this is not armor at all, how can armor have this kind of ability. What kind of treasure is this that can actually increase the speed of a cultivator in the Entry Spirit Realm to the level of a cultivator in the Transformation Spirit Realm?"

Qin Zhengfeng stared at Kong Fang who kept dodging in the formation, his eyes becoming more and more greedy. "This treasure... If I had such a treasure, my strength would definitely be improved a lot. The Forbidden Thousand Waves Ship must be handed over to the sect, but I must get this treasure." Qin Zhengfeng's heart suddenly became eager.

In the sky six miles away from Dishui Lake, Huangfu Qi suddenly broke free from Zong Jue's hand and stopped in mid-air.

Zong Jue also stopped immediately and turned to look in the direction of the Dishui Lake. Huangfu Qi also turned back and looked at Kong Fang who was quickly dodging capture in the formation, with a very complicated look in his eyes.

"No wonder I was completely suppressed in the speed competition with him. It turns out that his speed has reached the same level as that of the cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Realm." Zong Jue was surprised.

"Junior Brother Huangfu, who is he?" Zong Jue was somewhat curious about Kong Fang's identity.

"I don't know either." Huangfu Qi's voice was a little low.

Zong Jue glanced at Huangfu Qi beside him in surprise, "You don't even know who he is, but you are willing to take risks for him." Zong Jue was obviously referring to the fact that Huangfu Qi was unwilling to leave the formation before.

"That's because I owe him." Huangfu Qi thought about what happened in the Qingtian Tomb, and then remembered that it was because of his carelessness that Qin Long and the people from the Dingtian Sect were attracted here.

Having said this, Huangfu Qi didn't want to say any more. He just watched Kong Fang fleeing in a panic in silence.

"People from the Dingtian Sect." Zong Jue suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "They all deserve to die."

Huangfu Qi's heart moved, and he quickly asked: "Master Brother, what exactly is the Eight Spirit Formation? Is there any way to break it?"

Zong Jue sneered and said, "There are ways to break the formation, and there are at least two."

"What is it?" Huangfu Qi asked hurriedly, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

"The Eight Spirit Formation is a formation formed by combining the strength of eight cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Realm. These eight people are actually the core of the formation. As long as we kill all eight of them, the formation will naturally break." Zong Jue sneered.

Huangfu Qi's heart sank. Without asking, he could guess that the second method would not be much better.

Zong Jue turned his head and glanced at Huangfu Qi calmly, and continued, "The second method is to use powerful force to directly break the formation, but this is more difficult. Eight spiritual transformation cultivators work together to set up the Eight Spirit Formation. If the attack of the person who breaks the formation cannot exceed the limit that the eight people can withstand, then don't expect to break the Eight Spirit Formation."

"Moreover, the Eight Spirit Formation is not an ordinary formation. It can not only trap people, but also isolate the power of heaven and earth. When the cultivator's mana is exhausted and the power of heaven and earth in the formation is also exhausted, that is when the person who broke the formation will be in the most danger."

Huangfu Qi was startled, but then he became discouraged again. Kong Fang might not be able to hold on until his magic power was exhausted and he would be caught.

However, Huangfu Qi was somewhat puzzled. "Kong Fang obtained a lot of Taoist talismans from the ruins. Why didn't he use them? Could it be that the Taoist talismans in his hand have no attack capabilities?"

……

Inside the formation, Kong Fang turned into a ray of silver light and continued to flee quickly under the pursuit and blockade of Qin Yi and Qin Shixing.

Kong Fang's speed was almost the same as Qin Yi's, but Qin Yi and Qin Shixing just couldn't catch Kong Fang. Kong Fang's figure was erratic, especially when dodging in a small area, Kong Fang's speed was extremely amazing.

Kong Fang was able to do this thanks to the dangerous corridor in the ruins.

In that dangerous corridor, various attacks emerged one after another, and they continued, especially in the back of the corridor. There were even two or even three attacks at the same time. The ability that Kong Fang had honed in that dangerous situation came in handy at this time.

The two Transformation Realm cultivators were unable to capture a young Spiritual Entry Realm cultivator for a long time. This made Qin Yi and Qin Shixing look extremely unhappy.

Qin Zhengfeng and the others who were maintaining the formation also had dark complexions, staring at Qin Yi and the others. If it weren't for maintaining the formation, Qin Zhengfeng and the others would have rushed up to surround Kong Fang.

"Qin Shuang, you go too." Qin Zhengfeng said with a gloomy face.

"That formation?" Qin Shuang was stunned and asked in a voice transmission.

Eight people are needed to set up the Eight Spirits Formation, but not so many are needed to maintain it. If one person is missing to maintain the formation, the pressure on the others will increase greatly. And with fewer people, the difficulty of breaking the formation will be reduced a lot, after all, the power of seven people cannot be compared with that of eight people.

"The five of us can maintain it. As for him breaking out of the formation..." Qin Zhengfeng said disdainfully, "He is just fast, but not very strong. With the five of us working together to maintain the formation, even a cultivator at the peak of the Spiritual Transformation Realm will not be able to break out of the formation, let alone him."

Qin Shuang nodded, and then joined the group that was besieging Kong Fang.

Kong Fang's eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance. "According to Master, the difficulty of breaking the Eight Spirit Formation will be reduced a lot for every person who is left maintaining it. Now there are only five people maintaining the formation, and the possibility of me using the Taoist talisman to break out of the formation has increased a lot. But wait a little longer. The Eight Spirit Formation can be maintained by at least four people. As soon as they send one more person, I will immediately use the Taoist talisman."

Kong Fang had previously asked his master Cangye through his main body how to break the Eight Spirit Formation. After receiving his master's answer, Kong Fang had a plan in mind. So Kong Fang had not used the Taoist talisman, waiting for fewer people to maintain the formation so that he could successfully break the formation in one go.

In fact, Kong Fang felt a little regretful. The Forbidden Thousand Waves Ship could break many formations, but it had no way to deal with formations maintained by cultivators, because this kind of formation could change continuously under the control of the person who set up the formation.

This is actually the reason why Qin Zhengfeng and others knew that Kong Fang had the Forbidden Thousand Waves Ship, but still dared to set up a formation to trap Kong Fang.

The three men chased and intercepted Kong Fang at the same time, which made Kong Fang's pressure much greater, but it was still a long way from his limit. Kong Fang was confident that even if four people came at the same time, he could still dodge for a while.

Of course, this was also because Qin Yi and the other three just wanted to capture Kong Fang and did not attack him, otherwise Kong Fang would not have been able to hold on for so long.

"Swoosh", Kong Fang flew quickly in front, dodging constantly, Qin Yi and the other two divided into three directions, chasing Kong Fang relentlessly. But every time the three of them formed an encirclement, Kong Fang's flight path would suddenly become weird, dodging left and right, and it wouldn't take long for him to escape the encirclement of the three. This gave Qin Yi and the other two a headache, they could never have imagined that things would turn out like this. The three of them were now like three clowns, circling around Kong Fang.

"It's okay for a cultivator who has entered the spiritual realm to be fast, but how can he be so abnormal in dodging in a small area?" Qin Yi and the other two felt like crying but had no tears. They had really embarrassed themselves today.
