Chapter 404: Let Me Break This Formation
Upon hearing this, Bixiao curled up the corner of his mouth into a sneer, that smile was like a plum blossom blooming in winter, with a hint of sarcasm and deep disdain.
Her voice was as clear as a silver bell, but every word was as sharp as a knife, piercing the heart with a chilling chill:
"Guangchengzi, when the two sides fight, life and death are left to fate! Who made Chijingzi and the other three weak?"
"It's time! It's fate! They brought this upon themselves, no one else can be blamed."
Upon hearing this, Guangchengzi's face instantly became so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it. His eyes were as deep as the abyss, and his brows were tightly furrowed, as if dark clouds were slowly gathering between his brows, condensing the anger that was about to erupt.
He clenched his fists, veins popping out, knuckles turning white from exerting too much force, making a slight sound, and said in a deep voice:
"Bixiao, stop talking nonsense and confusing people!"
"Sanxiao, you three sisters relied on the power of the formation to kill my disciples of the Chan Sect. If I don't take revenge, I will be unworthy of being the eldest brother of the Chan Sect!"
"Today, I will seek justice for them. Blood debt must be paid with blood!"
When Bixiao heard this, the sarcasm in her eyes became even stronger. She snorted lightly, with a hint of disdain and provocation in her voice.
"Revenge? Humph! If you are not afraid of death, then enter the formation and give it a try. Let the three sisters see what kind of ability you, the eldest brother of the Chan Sect, have."
"It's just that..." She deliberately prolonged her tone, with a hint of amusement in her eyes, "It all depends on whether you have the ability to walk out of this formation alive!"
Hearing this, Guang Chengzi turned his anger into laughter, staring at San Xiao with a sharp gaze, and spoke word by word:
"Good, good, good! It has been a long time since someone dared to be so arrogant in front of me. After all, the last person who was so arrogant in front of me has long since returned to dust and ashes."
After saying this, Guang Chengzi was about to enter the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation. At this time, Xuan Du on the side stopped him and said slowly:
"Brother Guangchengzi, wait a minute!"
When Guangchengzi heard this, he paused, his brows furrowed instantly, and a trace of unconcealable displeasure flashed in his eyes.
In his opinion, Xuan Du's obstruction at this moment was undoubtedly to protect the Three Sisters. He was worried that once he succeeded in breaking the formation, they would kill them without hesitation and avenge their fellow disciples of the Chan Sect.
So, he said in a deep voice: "Why did Senior Brother Xuandu stop me? Chi Jingzi, Ju Liusun, and Ci Hang were all killed by the Three Xiaos in the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation. If we don't avenge this, how can we keep the face of the Chan Sect?"
"As the eldest senior brother of the Chan Sect, I must seek justice for them. Therefore, I would like to ask Senior Brother Xuandu to watch the battle from the sidelines."
Hearing this, Xuan Du sighed softly, and then slowly said:
"Brother Guangchengzi, don't worry! I understand your feelings, but the matter of entering the formation needs to be considered carefully."
"The Nine-bend Yellow River Formation set up by the Three Sisters is very powerful. Just think about it, what is the level of cultivation of Chi Jingzi, Ju Liusun, and Ci Hang?"
"However, even when the three of them joined forces, they were unable to break the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation. Instead, they died at the hands of the Three Sisters of the Sky."
"In this case, do you think that you can break this formation with your cultivation level?"
Guang Chengzi frowned slightly, obviously not buying Xuan Du's words. He snorted coldly and said:
"Brother Xuandu, you are wrong! The Nine-bend Yellow River Formation is indeed somewhat extraordinary, but since I became Master's disciple, I have also devoted myself to studying formations."
“Although I dare not compare myself with a formation master like Uncle Tongtian, I am confident that I can compete with his direct disciples.”
"What's more, the three sisters are only outer disciples of Jiejiao. How profound can their attainments in formation be?"
Guang Chengzi's words were full of self-confidence and contempt for his junior sisters Sanxiao.
However, Xuan Du was not moved by this, instead he looked at him with even more worry.
"Brother Guangchengzi, you...sigh..." Xuandu sighed, his tone full of helplessness, "You know that although the three sisters are only outer disciples, Uncle Tongtian values them as much as his own disciples."
"So, Sanxiao's attainments in formations are definitely not as simple as you think."
When Guangchengzi heard this, his expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
He looked at Xuan Du firmly, with a hint of determination in his voice:
"Brother Xuandu, please stop trying to persuade me. I have made up my mind to leave. How can you know that I cannot break this Nine Bends Yellow River Formation without trying it out?"
Seeing this, Xuandu shook his head and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He was not going to say anything else, but at this moment, the purpose of going down the mountain suddenly flashed through Xuandu's mind.
He murmured to himself, his voice low and heavy:
"Master asked me to go down the mountain to help the disciples of the Chan Sect. Now, Chi Jingzi, Ju Liusun, and Ci Hang have all passed away. If Guang Chengzi gets into trouble again, then... wouldn't it be my fault?"
"By then, even if Master doesn't say anything, Second Uncle will definitely be dissatisfied with me."
Thinking of this, Xuan Du felt that no matter what, Guang Chengzi could not be allowed to join the battle formation. So he said again:
"Brother Guangcheng, please listen to what I have to say. Chijingzi and the other two are in trouble. I think it would be better to send someone to inform Second Uncle."
"As for breaking the formation, leave it to me. Before I left the mountain, my master specifically told me to help you take down the Jiepai Pass as soon as possible."
Guang Chengzi frowned slightly when he heard this, and a wave of emotion surged in his heart. He thought to himself: If the master knew that his junior brothers and sisters died at the hands of Jiejiao disciples, given the master's protective character, he would definitely take action. By then, whether it was the Three Sky or the Golden Spirit Mother, they would inevitably be punished.
In addition, after Xuan Du's repeated dissuasion, Guangchengzi's anger was temporarily calmed.
He also felt that it might be difficult for him to break the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.
After all, when Chi Jingzi, Juliusun and Cihang joined forces, he could only barely suppress them, but the Three Xiaos could kill them directly.
In contrast, Guangchengzi felt that he was not sure he could break the formation, let alone kill Sanxiao to avenge Chijingzi and the other two.
But Xuan Du is different.
First of all, his cultivation had reached the late stage of Quasi-Saint, and he exuded an unfathomable aura from head to toe.
Secondly, before going down the mountain, his great master, the Great Master Laozi, must have given him something to defend himself.
In this way, it would be easy for Xuandu to break the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.
Then, Guang Chengzi nodded slightly, bowed to Xuan Du, and spoke slowly and respectfully:
"Brother Xuandu is right. Now, the only ones who can go to Kunlun Mountain to meet our master are Brother Ziya and I. But..."
He paused for a moment, then turned his gaze towards Jiang Ziya, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes.
"However, the Zhou army still needs Junior Brother Ziya to take charge of the central army and coordinate the overall situation. It is difficult for him to split himself. Therefore, I can only go to Kunlun Mountain and report this matter to Master."
Guang Chengzi's gaze returned to Xuan Du again, and he spoke earnestly:
"In this case, I really have to trouble Senior Brother Xuandu to go and break the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation."
Hearing this, Xuan Du waved his hand and said, "Brother Guang Chengzi, you are too polite. Since I have proposed to go and break the formation, I will naturally do my best."
At this point, Xuandu's eyes flashed with a hint of depth, as if he remembered something important, and he continued:
"Oh, right, Second Master Uncle should not be in Kunlun Mountain right now. When I went down the mountain, Master was drinking tea and discussing Taoism with Second Master Uncle. So, Junior Brother Guangchengzi can go to Shouyang Mountain."
"I see. Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother."
After Guangchengzi thanked him again, his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.
Here, Sanxiao, Jinling Shengmu and others saw this and a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.
Bi Xiao took a step forward and asked loudly, "What's going on? Is Guang Chengzi scared? Is he running away?"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Du responded, "My fellow apprentice sisters, Junior Brother Guang Chengzi has something to do and has left first."
"Let me break this formation!"
