The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine -
Chapter 1374 - Chapter 1374 Chapter 1374 Arriving at Wan Zhen City
Chapter 1374: Chapter 1374: Arriving at Wan Zhen City Chapter 1374: Chapter 1374: Arriving at Wan Zhen City Such a concept left the Treasure Hunters completely baffled!
Damn, this Formation Master really had some talent!
In his territory, within Formation City, the mode of battle was actually based on who had more lifespan numbers!
Why don’t they just ascend to the heavens?
For instance, the existence like the Sword Immortal Emperor, with a lifespan number less than 100, facing the Formation Master who already had more than ten thousand; that was absolutely instant kill! There was no suspense at all!
Ironically, the Sword Immortal Emperor, the mighty ruler of the Immortal Realm, was to be instantly killed by someone with only mediocre power as a Profound Immortal…
Ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous!
“This Formation Master is really quite formidable,” Huang Xiaolong couldn’t help but sigh deeply. “This guy really knows how to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses. Not bad, not bad at all.”
“Does that mean, once we enter Formation City, even if we join forces, we absolutely wouldn’t be a match for the Formation Master?” the Third Crown Prince seemed utterly frustrated.
The Twenty-Seventh Son nodded emphatically. “Yes, I’m not exaggerating when I say that even if all of you joined hands, along with me putting forth all my effort, we wouldn’t be a match for even a finger of my father. We would be directly crushed to dust. Not to mention my father, inside Formation City, there are many favored descendants of his, each possessing lifespans over a thousand, killing us would be as easy as reaching into a bag.”
Hearing this, the Treasure Hunters all fell silent.
Now, as the Twenty-Seventh Son was Huang Xiaolong’s slave, his words were indeed true, even truer than gold or silver.
“Brother-in-law, why don’t we lure this Formation Master out of Formation City directly? That way, he would lose all his advantages. Any one of us could kill him with just a flick of a finger,” the Ninth Princess suggested.
“That’s unlikely–my father is extremely cautious; he almost never leaves Formation City. For so many years, he hasn’t stepped half a step out of Formation City!” the Twenty-Seventh Son hurriedly said.
“Cowards and the timid, that’s who are overly cautious!” The Purple Flame Immortal Emperor said angrily.
“Timid or cowardly, regardless, the Formation Master is like a turtle, always retracting his head, never easily leaving his shell,” Huang Xiaolong frowned slightly. “Rather than racking our brains trying to lure the Formation Master out of the city, it’s better to think of another strategy.”
But what could that strategy be?
“Alright, let’s settle down here and rest for a few days while I think it over.” Huang Xiaolong decided to stay there and first formulate a good plan against the Formation Master.
After all, a delay of a few days wasn’t a big deal, the Treasure Hunters’ lifespans were enough.
Everyone then settled down in this deserted city.
Huang Xiaolong chose a single small hut for himself, dismissed everyone, and sat cross-legged on a broken bed to meditate deeply.
He took out the charm granted by the Twenty-Seventh Son.
His divine sense directly penetrated the charm!
The charms functioned to transfer lifespan from other beings to the one using the charm. But there were two types, one where the other party voluntarily gifted their lifespan, and the other was involuntary.
Each charm contained countless formations within!
A single small charm was the accumulation of the Formation Master’s lifetime achievements!!
Huang Xiaolong himself had dabbled in formations from a young age and was an expert in this domain. However–
It took some time for him to fully grasp the charm created by the Formation Master!
“Amazing–just in terms of formations alone, this Formation Master is indeed formidable, at least much stronger than me,” Huang Xiaolong thought, feeling a trace of admiration rising in his heart. “No wonder he could exploit the loopholes of the Heaven-slaying Immortal Emperor and rule this world for thousands, even tens of thousands of years.”
Huang Xiaolong delved deeply into his studies! It was an effort of day and night, forsaking sleep and food!
No one dared to disturb him!
After three days and nights without sleep, Huang Xiaolong finally fully comprehended one type of charm–the one where the other party voluntarily gifts their lifespan!
The type that forcibly stripped lifespan from others, however, remained a mystery to him. Of course, given enough time to meticulously study and learn, Huang Xiaolong believed he could handle it. But time waits for no one!
“Enough, I can’t continue to delay here,” Huang Xiaolong stored the charm, then took out some blank charm papers and began drawing earnestly.
Soon, he had drawn a thick stack of charms.
Huang Xiaolong called over his slave, the Twenty-Seventh Son.
“I wonder what task the master has for me, your servant will spare no effort!” the Twenty-Seventh Son knelt and said.
“Cut the crap. You have a lot of lifespan, share some with me,” Huang Xiaolong straightforwardly threw a charm he had drawn, sticking it on the Twenty-Seventh Son’s forehead.
Boom!
The charm self-ignited!
Turning into two beams of light, they seeped into the brains of Huang Xiaolong and the Twenty-Seventh Son.
A bizarre thing happened.
The golden numbers above the head of the Twenty-seventh Son began to decrease.
Huang Xiaolong’s numbers, on the other hand, climbed steadily.
This was the Twenty-seventh Son, willingly offering his lifespan to his master.
Huang Xiaolong didn’t get greedy. His main intention was to test the symbols he had drawn. Thus, when the lifespan numbers above his head reached “203,” he stopped.
“Offering my lifespan to my master is truly an honor for a servant~~” The Twenty-seventh Son’s face showed a delighted and surprised expression.
“Haha~~ It seems the symbols I drew are quite effective~~ Alright, let’s head to the City of Arrays now.” Huang Xiaolong rose to his feet.
Other Treasure Hunters, seeing Huang Xiaolong’s current state, were utterly astonished.
“Brother Huang Xiaolong! The lifespan number above your head has actually reached 200 days! That means you can pass the test! You can stay in this world as you wish, for more than 100 days! There’s really no need for you to risk going to the City of Arrays!” Sword Immortal gasped as she looked at Huang Xiaolong.
“In theory, that’s correct,” Huang Xiaolong merely smiled.
“Brother-in-law! You are truly a rare genius in the universe!” Ninth Princess’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Huang Xiaolong, a fond affection burgeoning within her. “In just a few days, Brother-in-law, you learned how to draw these life-transferring symbols!”
“Isn’t this convenient?” Third Crown Prince slapped his thigh vigorously, “Brother-in-law, we don’t have to bother going to the City of Arrays. This servant of yours is the son of the City of Arrays’ Master. He must have a significant status in this world. Why not have him lure out some beings with long lifespans? Brother-in-law, you could use the symbols to directly strip their lifespans and transfer them to us, and then we could pass through safely.”
“Haha~~ I think things are not that simple,” Huang Xiaolong suddenly said. “Moreover, these symbols cannot forcibly strip the lifespan from other beings.”
At that moment, the Twenty-seventh Son unexpectedly interrupted. “Master, the test you mentioned, is it… a key?”
At his words, the hearts of the Treasure Hunters trembled!
“Have you seen the key? A key to the next world?” Huang Xiaolong asked with a piercing gaze.
The Twenty-seventh Son nodded. “Yes, there is a key, left in this world by the Immortal Emperor Shi Tian. It seems incredibly precious. The key is located within the main Formation hub he set up.”
Finally, things were becoming clear.
The City of Arrays was constructed around the main Formation hub.
The key to the next world was also within the hub.
In other words, the key was actually inside the City of Arrays!
It now appeared that the matter was indeed not simple; obtaining the key necessitated entering the City of Arrays!
Upon arriving at the City of Arrays, they would directly face the Master of Arrays!
Escape was no longer a possibility!
It was as if it were destiny!!
Success or failure would likely be determined inside the City of Arrays!
“Did your father, the Master of Arrays, ever tamper with that key?” Huang Xiaolong inquired.
The Twenty-seventh Son shook his head repeatedly. “Not at all~~ Master, my father said that the key is extremely important and must not be tampered with, otherwise, disaster will descend~~~ Thus, my father guards the key as if he were worshiping a deity.”
“Understood~~ Enough talk, let’s head straight to the City of Arrays.” Huang Xiaolong made the decision and looked at the Twenty-seventh Son. “Listen, we’ll disguise ourselves as captives who have come to side with you. You’ll lead us into the City of Arrays first, and we’ll act according to the circumstances thereafter.”
“Yes, Master.” The Twenty-seventh Son nodded, accepting the command.
Immediately, the Twenty-seventh Son led Huang Xiaolong and the other Treasure Hunters towards the direction of the City of Arrays!
After several days of flight, finally, on the distant horizon, a city appeared!
A great city!!!!
A majestic and grand city!
Bathing in the afterglow of the setting sun, the city rose like a colossal steel beast!
Above the city, various Formation projections floated up like a mirage.
In the center, one Formation was towering and terrifying, mysterious as the universe!
Around this Formation, countless others floated densely–a myriad of stars around the moon!
A mysterious, intricate, ancient, and glorious atmosphere rushed towards them!
“Master! We’ve arrived; this is the City of Arrays!” The Twenty-seventh Son promptly spoke.
“Good… good… such a vast city~~” Even the Immortal Emperor of Sword and others were now somewhat speechless from amazement.
“Yes, even if it were placed in the Immortal Realm, it would still be considered a great city,” the Immortal Emperor Zi Yan sighed wistfully.
“Hehehe, this City of Arrays, truly lives up to its name with arrays entwined everywhere~~” Huang Xiaolong laughed softly without betraying any emotion.
