Top-tier Unruly Master
Chapter 1217 - 1254: Array Against Array
At this moment, Li Zong heard the opponent's words, and his face suddenly turned cold, his heart began to tremble, and then he said in panic:
"You can't kill me! You must know that without me, those two divine warrior little girls will never get out. Only I can save them."
At this moment, Ding Fan was about to directly kill the opponent, but upon hearing the opponent's words, he paused in surprise, and his expression became ugly. Ding Fan then put away the longsword in his hand and walked towards the vicinity of the imprisoned two divine warrior little girls to observe.
Li Zong, who looked very pathetic, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this scene. But at the same time, he was curious why the opponent didn't ask him how to break this formation. Could it be that the opponent wanted to break it himself? This was utterly ridiculous. After all, how could his formation be easily broken? It was just too funny!
Ding Fan naturally wasn't worried that Li Zong could stir up anything, especially since the opponent was now seriously injured, essentially a sitting duck. Ding Fan knew that the stuff for breaking the formation was obviously something the opponent was more proficient in, and if the opponent were truly allowed to break the formation, it could cause unexpected issues, especially if the opponent managed to set up another powerful formation. That would be really hard to deal with.
You should know that the killing formation laid out by Li Zong earlier had already caused Ding Fan a lot of time to crack, and at this moment, they must absolutely avoid any carelessness.
At this time, Ding Fan walked around the imprisonment array formation of the two little girls, carefully observing. Although Ding Fan admitted his formation level was not as good as the opponent's, it didn't mean that he didn't understand them at all. Clearly, although his ability to lay formations was slightly lacking, he was still very knowledgeable about formations. When it came to breaking formations, Ding Fan still considered himself quite competent.
Seeing this scene, He Qianyao and Ye Ningbing immediately walked over to Li Zong's side and carefully stared at him with a very serious look in their eyes.
Ding Fan felt even more at ease seeing He Qianyao and Ye Ningbing watching Li Zong.
After a while, Ding Fan took out some spirit stones, placing them in certain positions, and in no time, he had laid out a conversion extraction formation.
Seeing this, Li Zong couldn't help but look very shocked, clearly not expecting that the opponent could also lay a formation, and although the formation laid was not comparable to his own, it was evidently quite good.
Li Zong immediately saw through the formation laid by Ding Fan, clearly a relatively simple conversion formation. However, Li Zong couldn't help but smile coldly. Setting up a conversion formation, what's the use? Even if the two divine warrior little girls can come out, how could there be a powerful spirit stone to drive the conversion? This is simply pointless.
"Hehe, laying this conversion formation is useless. It requires very powerful spirit stones to drive it. I'm telling you, if you let me go now, I might consider helping you release those two divine warrior little girls."
Li Zong said with a face that seemed very smug, and his eyes were filled with disdain as he looked at Ding Fan.
Seeing Li Zong's demeanor, He Qianyao couldn't help but kick him directly, evidently not just an ordinary kick, but infused with True Qi. Li Zong couldn't help but wail, looking at He Qianyao with a face full of resentment.
"A dying man has no right to speak!"
He Qianyao said coldly, then pulled out a sharp sword, holding it in her hand, waving it continuously above the opponent's head.
Seeing this scene, Li Zong couldn't help but tightly shut his mouth, realizing he didn't have any strength left to retaliate. If the opponent really wanted to kill him, he was just waiting to be slaughtered.
Ding Fan naturally heard what Li Zong had said, and he slowly walked over to Li Zong, looking at him with a smile and said somewhat teasingly:
"Since you know formations so well, can't you even understand this one?"
At this moment, Li Zong looked at Ding Fan's smiling but not smiling demeanor, feeling a chill down his spine, clearly realizing Ding Fan had some bad intentions for him, but unsure of exactly what those bad intentions were.
Li Zong's body felt a chill.
Then Ding Fan directly injected True Qi into the opponent, completely imprisoning the opponent's body.
Li Zong looked panic-stricken at this scene, clearly unaware of what Ding Fan was going to do. The fear of knowing that something terrifying is about to happen, but not knowing exactly what that terrifying thing is, is truly the most terrifying aspect.
"What are you going to do... what are you going to do..."
Li Zong couldn't help but shout, clearly very apprehensive about Ding Fan's next move.
Ding Fan looked at him coldly, too lazy to speak, and dragged him into the conversion formation he had laid near the round platform. Then Ding Fan took out a very special spirit stone from his arms, precisely the Red Rock Celestial Stone.
This Red Rock Celestial Stone was excavated by Ding Fan and Wang Hu together in that mine cave, originally intending to refine some treasures with this spirit stone, but unexpectedly it was used now, which turned out to be quite fitting.
At this moment, Li Zong saw this, clearly understanding everything. Having the Red Rock Celestial Stone meant the conversion formation could be directly driven. When Li Zong saw Ding Fan take out the Red Rock Celestial Stone, his face was filled with shock; he never dreamed the opponent would have such a precious spirit stone, something simply like a supreme treasure. Clearly, he underestimated Ding Fan. But the cost was heavy.
"No... don't..."
Li Zong immediately began to wail, clearly understanding that he would soon be converted into the imprisonment array formation on the round platform, equivalent to waiting to die. Death was certain.
At this moment, Ding Fan wouldn't care how Li Zong was wailing, promptly taking out an array flag and inserting it into a position on the conversion formation.
Boom...
At this moment, a rumbling sound erupted, and the Conversion Formation was instantly activated. In a mere breath, Li Zong disappeared into thin air, and at the same time, the two young divine warrior girls in the Imprisonment Array Formation within the round platform also vanished. In the next moment, the two divine warrior girls appeared in the Conversion Formation, while Li Zong had evidently entered the Imprisonment Array on the round platform.
Ye Ningbing and He Qianyao were both utterly shocked when they saw this scene. Who would have thought Ding Fan could set up formations? It was incredibly impressive!
And this formation, although Ye Ningbing and He Qianyao didn't know many formations, it was clear to them that this formation was evidently very formidable, a presence so strong that ordinary cultivators couldn't possibly set it up.
He Qianyao looked at Ding Fan, feeling a mix of emotions, wondering what kind of experiences had made him so perfect, with such powerful skills that even mastery of formations didn't inflate his humility. It was simply unbelievable!
Ye Ningbing was equally shocked by Ding Fan, not expecting him to be capable of setting up formations. And knowing that Li Zong was clearly an expert at formations, yet he fell to Ding Fan's formation.
The two immediately rushed to the side of the two divine warrior girls. The young girls were evidently crying like rain-soaked pear blossoms. They thought they were doomed, but to their great surprise, Ding Fan had saved them again, making their gratitude towards him beyond words.
"Brother Ding Fan, we were wrong before... Sorry... Thank you..."
"Thank you..."
At this time, the two young divine warrior girls, with tears in their eyes, sincerely said to Ding Fan while crying.
Ding Fan looked at the two young divine warrior girls, then smiled gently and comfortingly said:
"It's all right, you're still young. I won't blame you."
Hearing Ding Fan's words, the two girls immediately hugged Ding Fan tightly. Clearly, Ding Fan held no grudge against them and saw them only as children. At this moment, they were even more moved by Ding Fan's generosity, and their tears couldn't stop falling again.
Ye Ningbing and He Qianyao stepped forward, doing their best to comfort the two young divine warrior girls.
Seeing this, Ding Fan also deeply understood the situation of the two divine warrior girls. This experience was indeed too harsh for them, but Ding Fan knew that only through such ordeal could they grow faster. To survive better in this Cultivation World, speed was essential.
"Let me out! Bastard..."
Li Zong roared frantically in the Imprisonment Formation.
Ding Fan led Ye Ningbing and the others to the side, his eyes icy cold as he spoke to Li Zong in the Imprisonment Formation:
"Although I don't know much about setting up formations, I'm quite adept at activating them. I'm curious to see what kind of formation you yourself have set up?"
Hearing Ding Fan's words, Li Zong's face turned grim. Ding Fan's intentions were clear; he wanted to activate Li Zong's own formation, leaving Li Zong extremely nervous as he exclaimed:
"You can't activate the formation. It's an array refinement formation, and it will draw down sky-thunder. You'll all perish here, really, don't believe me!"
Ding Fan merely smiled calmly upon hearing this.
"In that case, I really want to see what it is you're trying to refine!"
Li Zong was instantly consumed with anxiety, as this was a matter of life and death for him. Yet Ding Fan had already begun to act, placing array flags into various positions in the hall. Li Zong was anxious but momentarily at a loss for words as one after another, the flags were placed, and his heart filled with growing terror at the prospect.
He knew well the pain it could bring, something beyond any human's capacity to endure.
"Everyone, move back a bit."
Ding Fan addressed the crowd.
Ye Ningbing and the others heeded Ding Fan's words, finding a safe place to stand, keeping some distance from the hall.
Once everyone was in position, Ding Fan placed the final array flag into a small hole in the center of the round platform in the hall.
Li Zong's eyes turned red at this sight, terror etched across his face.
Rumble, rumble...
The sky erupted with thunder, and soon the entire Underground Palace seemed to tremble.
