"Hmm." The man nodded, wiped the sweat from his palm with his sleeve, and replied with a look of relief, "But they didn’t pay any attention to us!"
"That’s good, that’s good!" Lu Neng also showed a look of relief, then turned ferocious after a mont: "Saves us the trouble of acting ourselves, that kid is already a dead man!"
The steward beside him nodded in agreent: "Exactly, I guess that kid saw so many of us chasing him, panicked, and fled upwards, injuring the gatekeeper in his haste when he encountered resistance, then barged in!"
While nodding, Lu Neng pondered the chances of Xiao Tian surviving. After repeatedly attempting various calculations, he still concluded that Xiao Tian was dood, and was about to prepare to retreat.
At this mont, they saw the grand but tightly closed gate of the Dao Yi Sect, suddenly blown open with a bang from inside, and a broken corpse flew out.
Lu Neng quickly raised his hand to signal everyone to stop retreating, borrowed a telescope from the steward, and was disappointed to find out it wasn’t Xiao Tian. Judging by the attire, it seed to be soone from the Dao Yi Sect?!
Now there was no need for Lu Neng to say anything; everyone instinctively stopped to see what was unfolding. Those at the back, unable to see what was happening, heard the thunderous sound resonate across the mountains and imdiately asked those in front what had occurred.
Upon learning that the target of the pursuit had actually stord into the Dao Yi Sect gate, the team, who were previously panting and exhausted, instantly beca rejuvenated, as if injected with adrenaline, passing the news back and forth with excitent.
——
Inside the gate, Xiao Tian watched the taoists surrounding him, maintaining a distance of three ters, as he proceeded at his own steady pace.
He believed that the Saintly Virtue Daoist inside lacked his patience and wouldn’t take long before revealing himself.
Indeed, after advancing roughly five hundred ters, the roadblockers gradually spread out, revealing the main character behind them—Saintly Virtue Daoist!
At this ti, the Saintly Virtue Daoist’s attire was quite trendy, a cotton T-shirt paired with casual pants and travel shoes, and, of course, a baseball cap on his head.
The brim of the Daoist’s cap was pressed down low, as he sat on a grandmaster chair, holding an antique indigo teapot, with a faint image of a piece of mangosteen visible on it.
Individually, these items seed normal, but collectively they made the Saintly Virtue Daoist look rather odd.
Looking down at Xiao Tian with his head held high, the Saintly Virtue Daoist hadn’t spoken yet, when Xiao Tian mockingly said, "Saintly Virtue Daoist, I haven’t seen you for a few days and you’re starting to follow trends!"
The original posture of the Saintly Virtue Daoist could no longer be maintained. His intense hatred for Xiao Tian made him wish to kill the person before him on the spot.
"Oh, by the way, you did quite well on TV last ti!" Xiao Tian superficially complinted, but actually mocked, saying: "Why don’t you give us another performance for excitent?!"
The Saintly Virtue Daoist, being exposed in front of nurous juniors by Xiao Tian, instantly burst into rage, especially seeing so disciples starting to murmur and laugh secretly, made him furious to the point of exploding!
Knowing that he couldn’t outwit Xiao Tian verbally, the Saintly Virtue Daoist loudly shouted, "Form the array!" ensuring these two words were heard clearly by everyone.
Xiao Tian watched the dispersing crowd around him, his eyes gradually turning cold.
After everyone took their positions, they sat cross-legged, chanting incantations, slowly activating the array.
Soon, the group ford a circle centered on Xiao Tian, divided into five factions, not by the physical separation of people, but by five colors: gold, green, blue, red, and brown.
The five colors rose and turned into an inseparable wall, isolating Xiao Tian from those outside.
Xiao Tian looked up at the sky, only to find that the overhead colors had also turned into five, locking him securely inside.
The Saintly Virtue Daoist took out a small flag, directing the array practitioners to attack Xiao Tian, knowing that ti was short. Such a powerful array wouldn’t last long and would collapse on its own if not quick enough.
With the waving of the small flag in the Saintly Virtue Daoist’s hand, Xiao Tian, inside the array, sturdily withstood a wave of attacks from the array.
After this wave of assault, Xiao Tian seed to have figured out sothing!
First, every ti the Saintly Virtue Daoist waved the flag, a wall would crash against him. After five attacks, Xiao Tian confird this.
Secondly, the different colored walls produced vastly different effects when crashing into him.
The golden wall felt as indestructible as a bronze wall, while the green wall seed like hundreds of people wielding thick cylindrical logs hitting him simultaneously.
The blue wall made Xiao Tian feel like he was surfing alone at sea, an unguarded mont and he might be engulfed by waves.
The red wall was significantly more powerful; even without direct contact, he could feel the heat surging towards him, leaving him in a sorry state.
The final brown wall was akin to the golden wall: while the golden wall was indestructible, the latter gave off a heavy feeling.
Quickly pondering in his mind, Xiao Tian finally deduced that the five differently colored walls likely represented five attributes.
Gold corresponds to the tal attribute, green to the wood attribute, blue to the water attribute, red clearly to the fire attribute, and the brown should correspond to the earth attribute.
tal, wood, water, fire, earth; if he guessed right, it was definitely the Five Elents Array!
——
Outside the gate, Lu Neng and others holding binoculars were already stunned by the anomalies inside.
The five-colored light soaring into the sky was clearly visible even to those halfway up the mountain, prompting hurried inquiries about the events ensuing.
Lu Neng put down his binoculars, observing Xiao Tian, who, despite enduring a wave of attacks calmly, appeared unchanged, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes: "Do you think this array can kill that Zhong Family kid?"
"It’s just started, so it’s hard to say!" The steward beside him, hearing Lu Kai’s words, quickly replied: "However, judging by how battered that kid looks, he probably can’t hold on for long; at this mont, he’s likely just barely sustaining!"
Lu Neng felt sowhat relieved listening to the steward’s analysis, picked up the binoculars to continue watching, indifferent to the uproar behind him.
——
Xiao Tian calmly analyzed the situation in front of him. The urgency of Saintly Virtue Daoist’s attack without verbal mockery suggested that the array consud a lot, and it couldn’t last long.
Since he already knew it was the Five Elents Array...
The Saintly Virtue Daoist gave Xiao Tian little ti to breathe. Seeing the array practitioners had regained their ability to attack, he eagerly launched the second wave of offensive.
This ti, the Saintly Virtue Daoist had an additional small flag in his hand, suggesting a more fierce attack than the last!
With the waving of the flags by the Saintly Virtue Daoist, this ti, the double wall attack yielded surprisingly effective results.
Of course, it was viewed favorably by the Saintly Virtue Daoist!
As for Xiao Tian, who was being attacked inside the array, it wasn’t so effortless!
Xiao Tian barely withstood attacks attributed to one elent at a ti, but when switched to double elental attacks, the power of the array rose exponentially.
