Chapter 444: Learning the Sword in a Formation
Wu Yan walked to the front of the formation, but did not take out any magic weapon and rushed directly into the formation. Instead, he glanced around with interest, and finally landed on an inconspicuous place.
There were still a dozen or so casual cultivators at the scene who had failed to break into the formation. They were just about to watch Wu Yan being knocked out by the puppet swordsmen in the formation. When they saw Wu Yan walking up to the formation, these people all thought that Wu Yan was flying out of the formation. Yan Yao took out the magic weapon and went in, but unexpectedly he didn't go in, but looked to the side strangely.
Everyone couldn't help but follow his gaze, only to find that where he was looking was an inconspicuous pothole on the stone road. Potholes like this can be seen everywhere along the way. It seems that the bluestone slabs on the stone path have become loose and fallen off after countless years.
Along the way, no one noticed these small potholes.
Yan Jing looked at Wu Yan with a hint of surprise in his eyes, but soon turned into a thoughtful look, gently twirling his long eyebrows, and began to look at Wu Yan seriously.
The master of the late stage of the formation of pills named Tian Changkai snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Huh, you are pretending to be a ghost. Boy, are you going to break into the formation? If you don't have the guts to break in, get out of here as soon as possible, so that I can leave this place as soon as possible."
Wu Yan glanced at Tian Changkai and saw that he was a short, fat middle-aged man with a storage bag and several leather bags around his waist. He smiled lightly and said, "The road is in the sky, where do you want to go?" No one is stopping you, let alone asking you to stay here. Tian Changkai, if I remember correctly, private fights are not prohibited in the city. Moreover, battles between team leaders are also included in the performance record of the battle assessment. If you dare to talk to me like this again, don't blame me for beating you into a pig's head to get one more point before the battle assessment. Hehe, although it seems a bit shameless to do this, I can teach you a lesson and be more shameless. It’s okay.”
When Wu Yan spoke to Tian Changkai like this, everyone around him was immediately surprised. Many people even showed expressions of watching the show. Tian Changkai's face turned red, and he was furious.
However, for some reason, when he saw the vaguely expectant expression on Wu Yan's face, his whole body was involuntarily shaken, and after snoring for a while, he suppressed his anger.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered something that went viral in Liehai City yesterday. If the rumors are true, this guy named Wu Yan must be backed by a Yuanying monk who is feared by the Yan family. No wonder this guy dares to go around and cause trouble.
"Hmph!" Tian Changkai snorted coldly and said, "You'd better pray now and don't meet me during the battle!"
Wu Yan smiled faintly and ignored this person. Instead, he cupped his hands towards the pit and said, "Senior Yan, if you want to watch me break into the formation, why not come out and watch openly? Hide in the cave. Isn’t this the style that Senior Yuanying should have?”
Everyone was baffled by Wu Yan's move, but suddenly they heard a burst of laughter, coming from the pit: "Hahaha! Fellow Taoist Wu Yan, your spiritual consciousness is really powerful, I just But if you let out a little bit of breath, you will notice it. I admire you!"
Everyone looked at the hole in surprise, and they really couldn't understand how a senior monk at the Nascent Soul Stage could be hidden here.
Suddenly, an old man wearing khaki robes suddenly appeared above the pothole. The old man was looking at Wu Yan with a smile, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Greetings to Senior Yan!" Everyone was suddenly startled, and then they discovered that this old man was actually Yan Fu, the Nascent Soul cultivator of the Yan family who appeared at the Hunting Sea training camp last time with Lord Ma Ming. They hurriedly bowed to him and saluted. Meet me.
Na Tian Changkai's eyes widened in shock at this time, seemingly not expecting that Wu Yan's spiritual sense was so powerful that he could even detect the aura of the Nascent Soul Stage monks.
"That's all, no need to be polite. I'm just interested in Taoist Wu Yan's attempt at the Tai Chi Liangyi Formation, so I'll come and have a look. You also know that I practice the Wutu magical power, and I like to practice hiding in the earth. "Old Yan Fu's face turned slightly red. He was aware of his existence by an early-stage demon cultivator and was drunk. Moreover, he was discovered while hiding in a pothole on the road. He felt a little embarrassed.
Everyone's expressions relaxed slightly, and they couldn't help but look at Wu Yan in surprise. It seemed that the Yuan Ying monk of the Yan family valued Wu Yan very much, and actually came all the way just for him.
"Fellow Taoist Wu Yan, how long should we wait before we break into the formation? There are little guys over there who have already begun to understand the sword styles on the Dayan stalagmite pillars. If you arrive late, I'm afraid you will miss a lot of opportunities." Yan Fu said. Xu looked at Wu Yandao with a smile.
Wu Yan bowed his hands to Yan Fu and said, "Senior Yan is joking. Since senior wants to see me break into the formation, I won't postpone it any longer."
After saying this, Wu Yan immediately patted the storage bag and took out an extremely ordinary blue steel long sword.
This green steel long sword is the kind of long sword that can be seen everywhere in the world. It is neither a weapon nor a treasure. Anyone with a little knowledge can find that there is nothing strange about this sword.
The three-foot-long flowing green blade didn't even have a sharp edge. It looked simple and unpretentious, nothing surprising at all. Some monks who are familiar with mundane things even know the price of this sword in the market. You can buy one at an iron shop for two taels of silver.
Seeing Wu Yan take out such an ordinary long sword, everyone was stunned, especially those casual cultivators, who didn't understand what Wu Yan was trying to do. Could it be that he wanted to break into the Tai Chi Liang Yi Formation with this ordinary street stall product? This is too childish, right? Or, this guy is full of confidence in breaking through this formation, so he deliberately showed off?
Even those who were originally looking forward to it couldn't help shaking their heads and sneering at this time.
Only the brothers Yan Fu and Yan Jing looked at each other with surprise on their faces, and looked at Wu Yan with unprecedented attention.
After Wu Yan smiled casually, he casually raised his long sword and walked towards the Tai Chi Liang Yi Formation at an unhurried pace.
After his feet stepped into the formation, a burst of spiritual light flashed in the formation, and then the Tai Chi pattern appeared. At the same time, two puppet swordsmen also appeared in it.
As expected, after looking at Wu Yan, the two puppet swordsmen each started to pose in a starting position, and then began to dance in circles, just like before.
The Order Masters who had entered the formation in front of them had different reactions when they encountered the same situation. Some attacked first, some guarded the gates and waited for the battle, and some attacked and defended at the same time, but without exception, all the Order Masters either defeated the two puppet swordsmen with their powerful strength, or were knocked out of the formation by the vortex spiritual power of the puppet swordsmen, and ended in failure.
Everyone looked at Wu Yan with some curiosity, wondering how he would react with an ordinary long sword.
But what made all these people feel strange was that Wu Yan neither took the initiative to attack nor passively defended, but stood not far from the two puppet swordsmen, clumsily raised his long sword, and also made the same starting position with the two puppet swordsmen, and then began to dance in circles.
Although his movements seemed extremely awkward, like a beginner clumsily following his master in his first sword practice, his movements were exactly the same as the direction and sword style of the puppet swordsman.
What was even more strange was that Wu Yan did not seem to have any mana leaking out. Everyone realized that Wu Yan was actually learning sword styles from the two puppet swordsmen, not attacking or defending!
What surprised everyone was that the two puppet swordsmen not only did not attack Wu Yan, but after seeing Wu Yan's movements, the Taiyin puppet swordsman actually stopped his movements and stood aside, leaving the Taiyang puppet swordsman to continue dancing with a set of strange sword styles. Moreover, after seeing Wu Yan's movements were extremely unfamiliar, he even gradually slowed down his movements so that Wu Yan could follow his movements.
The scene in front of them seemed so bizarre and strange that everyone stared with wide eyes and stood there at a loss. Even the two people from the Yan family were the same. They looked at Wu Yan, who was clumsily dancing with his long sword in the formation, as if they had seen a ghost. They didn't know what to say.
This was obviously the Sun Puppet Swordsman teaching Wu Yan to practice this strange and weird sword style. How could it be a sword fight in the formation?
At this time, Wu Yan's face showed a trace of ecstasy that could not be concealed.
All the previous speculations were confirmed at this moment. This formation was indeed built by a high-level cultivator of the Dayan Sword Sect to teach the disciples of the sect to practice sword tactics!
At this time, Wu Yan seemed to have forgotten everything. He was completely immersed in this set of sun sword styles, and his movements were sometimes fast and sometimes slow as he practiced with the sun puppet swordsman.
After practicing once, Wu Yan's movements had become quite standard.
However, the sun puppet swordsman still danced from the beginning, and seemed to be dissatisfied with Wu Yan's movements. And in fact, it was true.
Because, when the Sun Puppet Swordsman danced with the long sword in his hand, the different circles drawn by his long sword could bring about different spiritual vortexes, but the circles drawn by Wu Yan's long sword did not bring about any spiritual vortexes at all.
After the second rehearsal, Wu Yan's movements had become extremely skillful and natural, but the circles he drew still did not bring about any spiritual vortex fluctuations.
The Sun Puppet Swordsman then began the third rehearsal, as if he would not stop until Wu Yan had completely mastered this sword style.
Wu Yan would naturally not miss such a good opportunity to learn the ancient sword tactics. He frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then continued to dance with the Sun Puppet Swordsman.
Gradually, as Wu Yan's long sword danced, the different circles drawn by his long sword actually brought about changes in the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth, and were then introduced into the circles drawn by him, turning into different spiritual vortexes.
Everyone suddenly came to their senses, but no one spoke. They all stared at Wu Yan and the Sun Puppet Swordsman in the formation. Even the two from the Yan family did the same.
Everyone had the same idea. Who wouldn't want to learn such a strange and powerful sword technique? Wu Yan and the Sun Puppet Swordsman's movements were so slow. As long as you memorize their movements and practice them, you might be able to learn this strange and unpredictable magical sword style.
