Chapter 757: Chapter 757 Breaking the Formation_1 Chapter 757: Chapter 757 Breaking the Formation_1 The three members of the Vermilion Sect stopped in their tracks.

Dwayne Law turned around and smiled, “Mr. Xu, just ahead is the gate to our Vermilion Sect.”

Aiden Clark exclaimed in surprise, “This… Isn’t this just a wasteland?”

“Hehe,” Dwayne Law laughed but did not speak.

“A proper Sect with a heritage always has a Mountain Protection Array. Even small Sects would set up some kind of misleading formation to prevent ordinary people from wandering in.”

Hitherto subdued, Bowen Griffin’s demeanor turned rather proud as he said, “The Vermilion Sect is a great Sect of the Hidden Gate. If you could discern its secrets so easily, then what would that be worth?”

Aiden Clark pursed his lips and glanced at Greg Jensen before taking out a compass from his backpack and began to walk around the hollow they were facing, all the while mumbling something indistinctly.

At the same time, Dwayne Law, who had not caught what Aiden Clark was muttering about, was taken aback to see him acting so mysteriously and asked instinctively, “What is he up to?”

Greg Jensen listened intently and couldn’t help but wear a strange expression because what Aiden Clark was muttering was his wish to blow up the Vermilion Sect’s Mountain Protection Array.

“Damn it, Aiden Clark, a defeated underling of my boss, dares to be so rampant. I’ll blast your Mountain Protection Array to bits and see if you can still be so wild!”

The first time Greg Jensen met Aiden Clark, the man had managed to break through a restriction that even he couldn’t decipher using nothing but a compass and explosives.

Could it be that this fellow was planning to use the old trick again?

For some reason, Greg Jensen wasn’t the least bit worried at this moment; instead, he felt a faint sense of anticipation.

He hesitated for a moment, not answering Dwayne Law’s question, and instead said, “Since we’re here, shall we go in?”

Dwayne Law seemed intent on showcasing the strength of the Vermilion Sect. Rather than opening the formation and leading Greg Jensen in, he smiled and said:

“Mr. Xu is highly skilled in cultivation. I wonder if you can make out the outline of our Mountain Protection Array?”

There was an obvious element of both testing and boasting in his words. Greg Jensen, not wanting to cause trouble, frowned slightly upon hearing this.

A moment later, a smile played at the corner of his mouth as he said, “What difference does it make whether I can see it or not?”

“Uh, hehe.”

Dwayne Law laughed openly and said: “If Mr. Xu can see it, we’ll go straight in. If Mr. Xu can’t see it right away, there’s no need to worry.

The Mountain Protection Array of the Vermilion Sect originated from ancient times. Although it often undergoes maintenance, the core has remained unchanged.

If Mr. Xu is interested, feel free to observe at your leisure.”

If his showing off was somewhat subtle before, now it was blatantly obvious, and without any attempt to conceal it.

“Hmm, let’s take a look then.”

Greg Jensen wasn’t upset by the comment since he had already discerned the location of the formation and even had an idea on how to break it.

The main reason he hadn’t acted to unravel it was that he wanted to see what Aiden Clark was capable of.

If he could blow up the Mountain Protection Array, that would be quite interesting.

Perhaps emboldened by being back in his own Sect, Bowen Griffin seemed more confident and, seeing that Greg Jensen hadn’t made a move even after waiting for a while, couldn’t help but ask:

“Master Xu, can you do it or not? If not, shall we just go in? You can take your time to check it out later when you’re free.”

Greg Jensen glanced at Aiden Clark, who was pulling out a shovel, and smiled, “Hehe, no rush, it will be ready soon.”

“Uh…”

Bowen Griffin followed Greg Jensen’s gaze and saw Aiden Clark holding a specially made entrenching tool, digging holes in the ground.

He asked blankly, “Master Xu, what exactly is Aiden Clark doing…?”

“Hehe, you’ll know soon enough.”

Greg Jensen brushed off the query casually, and then with a slight furrow in his brow, he reminded, “Old Liu, move three steps to the west, you’re a bit off there.”

“Ah, I need to move three steps west?”

Greg Jensen’s brows shot up in surprise, he pondered for a moment before his face broke into a wide grin, and with a thumbs-up, he said to Greg, “Boss, you really are the best.”

Having said that, he cheerfully switched spots and continued digging holes.

Huang Lao Liu had a decent talent for formations. He had long memorized the “Essentials of Five Elements Formation” that Greg had given him, but when it came to application, he was slightly behind Greg.

Seeing Huang Lao Liu digging endlessly, Dwayne Law finally couldn’t sit still and asked, “Master Hsu, shouldn’t we just go in?”

Greg glanced at him and said indifferently, “What’s the rush? It’ll be done soon.”

Bowen Griffin snorted coldly, “I’ve seen plenty of weirdos, but this is the first time I see someone digging holes for no reason.”

At that moment, Teresa Cotes finally realized and said, “Could he be trying to break the formation?”

“Break the formation? You think he wants to break through our Mountain Protection Array?”

Bowen Griffin’s face was a picture of astonishment, followed by a burst of laughter, “Junior Sister, I think you might be overestimating this fat guy.

The Mountain Protection Array was passed down by our ancestors and has stood for thousands of years without falling. Even if he digs a few holes, let alone if he dug through the mountain, he wouldn’t be able to break the array.”

Dwayne Law didn’t say a word but cast a comforting glance at Teresa Cotes, signaling her to stay calm; clearly, he agreed with Bowen Griffin.

However, in the next second, all three of them widened their eyes, their expressions frozen on their faces.

Because Huang Lao Liu started burying C4 explosives in the holes.

“Explosives?”

Bowen Griffin spoke incoherently, his face dumbfounded, “Are you planning to blow up the mountain?”

Dwayne Law also looked at Greg blankly and said, “Brother Hsu, is he going to…”

“I don’t know either, just wait and see.”

Greg said with a chuckle, “Or maybe you guys want to ask him yourself?”

Dwayne Law said with a serious face, “Brother Huang, what are you doing with the explosives?”

Even now, he still didn’t believe Huang Lao Liu could break the formation.

The main reason he looked upset was because he found it offensive that Huang Lao Liu was setting bombs at the doorstep of his Sect.

“I’m going to blow up your Mountain Protection Array!”

“What did you say? Are you seriously trying to break the array?”

Huang Lao Liu turned around to sit on the ground, his flab jiggling as he said disdainfully, “What, are you scared?”

Bowen Griffin curled his lip and scoffed, “Afraid of you?”

Dwayne Law frowned and looked at Greg, saying, “Brother Hsu, this is the entrance to the Danxia Sect’s mountain gate, and he’s setting off explosives here, I’m afraid…”

“Afraid of what?”

Greg, as if nothing were the matter, cheerfully asked, “Wasn’t it you, Brother Law, who wanted me to observe the array?

Now that I’ve made some discoveries, it’s perfect timing to test them through Old Six. Is there a problem?”

“No problem.”

Dwayne Law said with a cold face, “But let’s have him hurry up, it’s getting dark.”

Greg smiled and shouted, “Old Six, did you hear that? Speed it up, Brother Law is getting anxious.”

“Alright, Boss, I’ll increase the charge,” answered Huang Lao Liu.

Dwayne Law’s face turned green as he quickly said, “Hey, wait, I just wanted you to hurry up, why are you increasing the charge?”

Huang Lao Liu said it as if it were the most natural thing in the world, “Obviously, to blow it open in one go. If it doesn’t break the first time, I’ll have to dig holes again, which is too much trouble.”

With that, he tossed some more chunks of C4 into each hole without hesitation and then scurried away to the side.
