Chapter 304 He is the only rule
Yan Chengxue received instruction from Kui Shengge within the Lei Kui Formation.
For the first time, the senior Lei Kui, who had been silent for ten thousand years, encountered a disciple with such high talent. He wished he could give all the results of his research over the past ten thousand years to Yan Chengxue.
So during the half-month that Xue Lan was missing, Yan Chengxue's eyes were always on array flags, and he dreamed about array plates at night. He had truly learned to forget himself.
As night fell, there was no moon over Luoxia Mountain tonight, shrouded in the long, dark night. Yan Chengxue bent over and personally planted the array flags in the positions designated by Kui Shengge.
This was Kui Shengge's request. According to this person, when the battle reached a critical juncture and both sides were exhausted of spiritual energy, he would have to bend down and personally plant the array flags.
The last flag was planted into the damp soil by the young man. Yan Chengxue turned to look at the young man behind her. Kuisheng was carrying a jar of wine, and in the night, his eyes shone with an eerie indigo blue.
It resembled the lightning within the Lei Kui Formation.
Yan Chengxue called out to him, "Senior, it's done."
Kui Shengge slowly looked at the young man, as if she had just come back to her senses from the illusion.
The middle-aged man slowly raised his hand and softly uttered a single word: "Start."
The moment Kui Shengge uttered his voice, Yan Chengxue jumped outside the great formation first.
"You were quite clever this time!" The middle-aged man looked at Yan Chengxue with a smile.
Yan Chengxue replied respectfully, "Senior is too kind."
The young man's smile was gentle and polite, but he was cursing inwardly.
How could he not be clever?
Initially, Yan Chengxue, who was left here by Xue Lan, greatly admired Kui Shengge, after all, he was Senior Lei Kui, the most outstanding array master in the Yuanming Realm for ten thousand years.
Being able to learn array formations from him is a truly great opportunity.
However, this attitude of utmost worship only lasted for five days.
During these five days, Kui Shengge did not teach Yan Chengxue the knowledge of setting up formations, but instead gave him a formation diagram and asked him to set it up without using spiritual power.
Then, taking advantage of Yan Chengxue's unpreparedness, he locked him in the formation he had set up himself.
The ancient powerful beings used unpredictable movements, often kicking people in when Yan Chengxue was slightly off guard.
In just half a month, Yan Chengxue suffered greatly.
"Don't laugh like that, it's a bit creepy." Kui Shengge pointed to the large array in front of her: "You're a genius. From childhood to adulthood, you've watched ordinary immortal disciples rack their brains to distinguish the auras that they couldn't discern, yet they were perfectly organized in front of you. Aren't you very proud?"
Yan Chengxue shook her head: "I have been learning array formations from my master since I was a child. My master is a master of array formations. He has always been strict with me. My fellow disciples are all busy fighting against the demons and have no time to take care of me."
Kui Shengge's smile froze for a moment.
"Is it that your fellow disciples are too busy to care about you, or that you are too busy to care about them?" the middle-aged man asked.
Yan Chengxue smiled gently: "Half and half."
He lived for over twenty years and encountered the demon invasion twice.
The immortal disciples of Yuanming in the lower realm are so busy they barely have time to breathe.
“You were born with the ability to distinguish between the pure and the impure, which makes your cultivation of array formations much easier than others,” Kui Shengge said, looking at Yan Chengxue.
"But Chengxue, array masters don't always hide behind others."
The middle-aged man had deep-set eyes and a somewhat hoarse voice: "The reason why I became one of the ancient demon lords who survived in this world is largely because I am a coward."
Yan Chengxue was somewhat surprised. The young man murmured, "Coward?"
Kui Shengge slowly raised her hand, and a portion of the array flags that Yan Chengxue had just set up slowly floated up. As the array flags moved, the array kept changing, and it actually turned from a killing array into an illusion array.
This illusion array was extremely powerful; even standing outside, Yan Chengxue could still see the illusions within it…
wrong!
Yan Chengxue suddenly realized what was happening, but it was too late when she turned around.
The middle-aged man in the indigo robe had already retreated with a smile, and behind Yan Chengxue, a small battle flag was being planted in the ground.
Yan Chengxue: I...
The young man wanted to swear, but he held back in the end.
Because the grand formation has already begun to operate.
Illusions abound, and the scenery before Yan Chengxue's eyes constantly changes. One moment it is the bustling Xie Cui City, a crimson phoenix flies by, and peach blossoms bloom all over the city in an instant, spreading out a red cloud.
A moment later, it was back in his and Wu Yijun's weapon-refining room. He was making array flags when the little puppet on the table ran onto Wu Yijun's table, tugging at the girl's sleeve and making a fuss about wanting to go out.
……
Outside the illusion array, Kui Shenge looked at the chubby flying sword floating beside her: "Did that little white wolf send you here?"
The spirit guide emerged from the sword, looking at Kui Shenge with some confusion: "Little White Wolf?"
Kui Shengge inwardly cried out in dismay, while the middle-aged man pinched Yin Hun's cheek: "I misspoke, Xue Lan sent you?"
After asking that question, Kui Shenge looked at the little sword spirit in front of her.
The purest and kindest little sword spirit was born into this world, seemingly destined for those resentful and unwilling souls.
I wonder if I'm one of them?
As he was thinking this, a gentle wisp of sword energy suddenly wrapped around his fingertips.
It looks like a newborn's finger, or like a tender vine.
Kui Shengge was surprised for a moment, then smiled as she looked at Yinhun's gray eyes, which were just like Xue Lan's.
"You're so strange. You were just so sad." Yin Hun withdrew her sword energy, thinking that Kui Shengge was playing a trick on her.
How adorable! Kui Shengge thought to herself.
The little sword spirit, born blind and unable to see the ugliness of the world, possessed a heart full of compassion for humanity.
Like a young, fragile vine, it softened Kui Shengge's heart.
"Alright!" the middle-aged man said softly, "Consider it for your sake."
The middle-aged man raised his hand to release Yan Chengxue from the formation, but as soon as he raised his hand, he heard a crisp breaking sound.
The ever-changing array in front of them was like layers of an eggshell breaking apart, turning into a pile of ruins in a very short time.
A young man in tattered clothes emerged from the formation, clutching a stone in his hand.
Yan Chengxue cast a small spell to clean the wounds on her body.
"I knew it!" The young man took two steps forward and threw the ordinary-looking stone in his hand onto the ground.
"Senior, this killing formation originally only had forty-nine array flags. When changing the illusion array, it is necessary to break my mental state. This number is far from enough."
"As expected of a senior, you chose a single pebble as your replacement flag amidst the flying sand and stones in the illusion array."
A hint of arrogance appeared in the young man's eyes: "But senior, are you underestimating me? It's just a large formation, and I know the trajectory of every single array flag inside like the back of my hand."
Because they knew it so well, they easily discovered the gap and saw the pebble that had been circulating through tens of thousands of sandstorms.
He doesn't need to follow other people's rules; when he steps into that formation, it becomes his own formation.
Within his formation, Yan Chengxue was the only rule.
Kui Shengge nodded in satisfaction, a hint of relief appearing in her eyes.
The middle-aged man pointed to the young girl beside him: "Xue Lan is looking for you."
