Chapter 145: Chapter 145: Killing Formation, Sword Rain Meteor Formation

Upon hearing this news, Gong Xinghui and Bi Futian both had drastic changes in expression, looking dejected and weighed down with worries.

They had previously thought that, even if Lin Chen and Xu Lianyu did not help them, they would still go and prevent the Black Cloud Sect disciples from collecting Yin Sha Qi, relying chiefly on these elite sect members who had agreed to join them upon entering the secret realm.

However, now they had received news that these members might have met with disaster. At this moment, the two men’s hearts were heavily stricken, and they even hesitated about the action to stop the Black Cloud Sect disciples.

The loss of contact with more than thirty elite disciples meant that the disciples they led might have all perished.

Even now, within the secret realm, they might be the only remaining team from the Jade Cauldron Sect.

With a thousand disciples entering the secret realm, if all were to perish in battle, it would be a tremendous loss for the Jade Cauldron Sect, and it could take many years to recover their vitality.

Xu Lianyu felt a wave of sadness in her heart upon hearing this news. As a direct descendant of the Sect Leader of the Jade Cauldron Sect, the sect was her home, and now that all her fellow disciples had lost their lives, how could she not feel heartbroken?

Wang Yilin, who was usually playful and straightforward, also silently lowered her head at this moment, remaining quiet.

After traveling for most of the day, they found a towering ancient tree as a hidden place to take refuge and rest temporarily.

Bi Futian arranged for some disciples to take turns on guard outside. Now that they were chasing in the direction of the Black Cloud Sect disciples, they couldn’t afford to be careless.

Sitting on a tree trunk to rest, Lin Chen noticed that no one was talking, and the atmosphere felt somewhat bleak.

Xu Lianyu and Wang Yilin each sat on a tree trunk, their heads drooping in desolation and their moods exceptionally low, completely unlike their usual selves.

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Lianyu lightly leaped down from the tree trunk, landed on the ground, and walked towards Lin Chen.

"Little Junior Brother, who are you sneaking glances at?"

Xu Lianyu returned to her playful demeanor and asked Lin Chen.

At this moment, Lin Chen was clearly spacing out, and his gaze just so happened to be in Wang Yilin’s direction, leading one to mistakenly think he was sneaking peeks at Wang Yilin.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen came back to his senses, just in time to make eye contact with Wang Yilin, and instantly found himself at a loss for words, unable to clear up the misunderstanding.

"What’s the matter, it’s none of your business if my man looks at me. I’m pretty so my man wants to look at me, not like some people."

Wang Yilin grinned and reverted to her forthright personality, casting a coquettish glance at Lin Chen.

Seeing the two bickering again, Lin Chen smiled awkwardly. He certainly couldn’t say he was watching the sunset, so he simply chose not to explain.

Seeing that the two had regained some spirits, Lin Chen also felt relieved, then his gaze turned to the others.

Having promised everyone to stop the Black Cloud Sect from collecting Yin Sha Qi, he had no intention of backing out halfway, and this also tied into his desire to settle things with Li Chu.

From Li Chu’s previous actions, it seemed he was the leader of this group of Black Cloud Sect disciples, suggesting that Li Chu’s status in the Black Cloud Sect must be quite high now.

Defeating him would be tantamount to earning merit for the Jade Cauldron Sect.

The current problem was that they were no match for the Black Cloud Sect’s people in battle, even with just themselves.

Even if they were to fight to the death, they could only at best achieve a draw, and even Xu Lianyu and Wang Yilin might be in danger.

"Senior Sister, I’m going to rest for a while. Don’t let anyone disturb me," Lin Chen said after a moment of silence, turning to speak to Xu Lianyu.

Upon hearing this, Xu Lianyu nodded, signaling him to rest assuredly.

Lin Chen found a huge tree trunk and settled inside. The trunk was hollow, a natural concealment.

Sitting inside the tree trunk, his Divine Sense immediately entered the space within the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron.

Lin Chen pondered for a long time. If they wanted to stop the Black Cloud Sect, they must prepare thoroughly. Currently, aside from elixirs and Talisman Inscriptions, he didn’t have many other means to rely on.

Lin Chen knew that refining elixirs through the Spiritual Formation required not only a large amount of materials but also a lot of time and effort. Moreover, he could not let anyone know about the Pill Spirit Array, so alchemy was not a good strategy.

As for Talisman Making, Lin Chen was not in the business of charity; he would not give away the Talismans he toiled to create for free. Instead, he would sell some to them at the usual prices when the time came.

Though this could improve everyone’s combat power, it was insufficient to give them hope of victory.

Lin Chen’s Divine Sense took human form, appearing before the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron. The Rusty Dagger that Lin Chen had obtained before was still lying in the cauldron. Seeing it caused him to covet; he was certain the Rusty Dagger was a high-grade magic treasure, perhaps even more superior than the Flowing Light Sword given by Yang Yuemin.

However, Lin Chen’s purpose now was not the Rusty Dagger. He intended to study an Array, a Formation that could enhance everyone’s combat strength.

The way of Spiritual Formations was diverse; Lin Chen’s past practices with Pill Spirit Arrays for alchemy and techniques for Talisman Making were called Arrays.

Apart from these, there were also Maze Formations, defensive formations, Killing Formations, and so on.

Today, what Lin Chen needed to study was a Killing Formation.

Lin Chen had studied Killing Formations before. They were often used in conflicts between Sects and family feuds to enhance the strength of groups. For Killing Formations to work, besides arranging them like Arrays, the more crucial aspect was positioning people as the key points of the Formation.

Lin Chen had entered the space within the Primordial Transformation Art specifically to use the Killing Formation to enhance the capability of the Jade Cauldron Sect disciples.

In front of the cauldron, Lin Chen searched continuously, finally finding an Array he could set up that would also strengthen everyone’s combat power.

This Array was called the Sword Rain Meteor Formation; it required at least ten people to hold swords and enter the formation using their swordsmanship. With Minor Achievement, the Array could match the attacking power of fivefold that of the participants. At a moderate stage, it could match tenfold the participants’ attack power, and at Great Success, it could match twentyfold the attacking power.

Hence, if Lin Chen and the others could master this Formation even to Minor Achievement, they could unleash the power...
