Chapter 603: Chapter 604: You Can’t Kill Me_1

"This is the power of the Formation."

Zhang Xian steadied himself, took a deep breath, and said, "This Formation should have been left behind from the Ancient Times, its current power is not even one millionth of what it originally was."

"Power is not even one millionth of its original strength?" Master Wujing’s eyes widened in surprise.

The others had similar reactions. If the Formation’s power is just a millionth, and they still couldn’t break through it even by combining their efforts, wouldn’t they be the same as trash in front of this Formation when it was in its prime?

Elder Qi and Yu Zhi were also a little shocked when they heard this.

They weren’t unfamiliar with Formations, but they had never seen one, not even heard about one before. They thought that such things only existed in legends, just some fictional tales created by people.

At this moment, Zhang Xian claimed the thing in front of them was a Formation from the legends; they were surprised by its power but also somewhat in disbelief.

Could the words of a youngster be trustworthy? These were all elders from Ancient Sects. A guy not even from the Ancient Martial Arts world actually knew more than them?

"How do you know?" Jing Yi walked over to Zhang Xian curiously and asked.

The others also turned to look at Zhang Xian, including Elder Qi and Yu Zhi. They were all somewhat skeptical about him.

"Because I know so, that’s why I know."

Zhang Xian showed no intention of elaborating, instead said with a sulky tone: "This Formation, it’s quite challenging for us to break through. Once we go in, whatever dangers that might lie in there, I’m also not too certain. Even though I know a bit about Formations, I don’t have a deep understanding. I don’t have much time to cram for this stuff, this Formation is incredibly complex."

"You’re saying, we would be in danger if we forcefully try to get in?" Master Wujing asked.

Zhang Xian nodded, "Exactly, it’s very dangerous, extremely dangerous. The power of the Formation far exceeds your imagination, it can even control a person’s thoughts."

"What do you mean?" Master’s question did not understand Zhang Xian’s words.

Zhang Xian explained: "Simply put, once you enter, if your will isn’t strong enough, you might start hallucinating — it’s even possible that you could commit suicide."

"It’s so horrific?" Luo Shuining looked worried.

Zhang Xian nodded, "The power of Formations indeed is enormous. What I just mentioned is just one kind of attack, there are countless types of attacks in the Formation."

"Then, how do we get in there? Are we just going to stand by and watch the resources slip away from us?" Master Wujing frowned and asked.

The others were also looking at Zhang Xian. Unconsciously, Zhang Xian had become the core of the Ancient Martial Artists. They had already forgotten Zhang Xian’s status, and their own as well.

Of course, Elder Qi and Yu Zhi, who bore a deep grudge against Zhang Xian, wouldn’t side with him naturally.

Even if what Zhang Xian said was true, they still felt extremely displeased in their hearts.

At this very moment, Elder Qi watched Zhang Xian with a scornful smile and said: "Youngster, don’t make up some shocking tales if you can’t produce evidence. No one would believe your unfounded claims."

"Do I recall saying I needed your belief?"

Zhang Xian looked at Elder Qi and said: "If you want to go in, you can go in yourself. Did I ever stop you? As far as I’m aware, nobody else did either, the problem lies with you not being capable enough."

"You..." Elder Qi was so angry that smoke almost came out from his head.

Yu Zhi originally also wanted to mock Zhang Xian a little but he judiciously shut his mouth upon seeing Elder Qi’s embarrassment. This youngster had a sharp tongue and had the backing of the Great Buddha Temple. He could only tolerate him for now.

"What’s going on?"

At this point, many people rushed down from hill, they were disciples from smaller sects.

Seeing everyone gathering around the cave entrance, an older disciple asked: "Can’t go in yet? What the hell is going in this damned cave?"

"Is anyone willing to try with me? Forcefully open an entrance?"

After glancing at the newcomers, Zhang Xian said: "Let me clarify first. There are unknown dangers inside, I’m not quite sure what they are. If you want the stuff inside, you need to take the risk."

"The old monk can give it a try." Master Wujing cheerfully stepped forward.

Another white-haired, short statured old man also stepped forward and said, "Fortune favors the bold, I’m willing to try."

Representatives from the Great Buddha Temple and another minor sect stepped forward, and their disciples also expressed their willingness to give it a try. As long as their abilities reached "Innate" level, they could cooperate to attack the Formation.

"Elder Qi, Elder Yu, are you two willing to give it a try?"

Master Wujing smiled at Elder Qi and Yu Zhi and said: "Our side only has a few Grandmaster-level practitioners. If we lack both of you, it might be difficult for us to break the Formation with only our forces."

"Look at their guilty faces, you know they are timid like rats. For such risky matters, we shouldn’t involve them."

Zhang Xian continued: "Moreover, I’m not in a hurry to break the Formation just yet. We still have to wait for someone else’s arrival. Without him, I dare not go inside the Formation. Inside, it’s extremely dangerous, if one is not careful, it could lead to instant death."

"You..." Hearing Zhang Xian’s words, the faces of Elder Qi and Yu Zhi darkened.

However, they knew that with Master Wujing present, killing Zhang Xian wouldn’t be an easy task, unless they were willing to go against the Great Buddha Temple.

With the opportunity just around the corner, they wouldn’t be so foolish to offend the Great Buddha Temple. After all, Zhang Xian would be killed soon enough, they could tolerate his insult for now.

"What’s going on?"

The disciples who joined later were all dumbstruck when they saw Zhang Xian daring to stand up to Elder Qi and Yu Zhi.

You should know that both Yu Zhi and Elder Qi represented two of the strongest among the Ancient Sects. How could a little-known youngster dare to act so audaciously in front of these two mighty beings?

And one thing that they found baffling, why was a youngster calling the shots instead of Master Wujing of the Great Buddha Temple?

Usually in such situations, isn’t it the Buddhist temple that steps in first?

"Ha ha..."

Master Wujing chuckled and stepped forward to mediate, "Ladies and gentlemen, since Lord Zhang has said that we should wait for someone, why don’t we just wait! We’re not in a rush to break through the formation."

"This..." Everyone looked at Wujing.

If Zhang Xian were a great power, they wouldn’t mind. But Zhang Xian is just a young boy, having them, the great powers of the ancient sects, waiting for him, what’s all this about?

Has Master Wujing’s brain been squeezed by the door or something?

"On what basis?"

Elder Qi stepped forward and asked, "Who is this kid who dares to make us all wait here?"

"You can go in first, I’m not stopping you."

Zhang Xian looked at Elder Qi and said, "I’m puzzled, I don’t recall telling you, right? If you want to go in, just go in, why are you making a fuss here? But I need to remind you, if you inexplicably die in there and can’t even find a corpse, don’t blame me. I didn’t stop you from going in, all these people can testify."

"Kid, you’re looking for death!" Elder Qi, once again provoked by Zhang Xian, couldn’t stand it any longer and dashed out in fury.

Zhang Xian smiled coldly before sidestepping to dodge Elder Qi’s charge.

"Such fast speed." Everyone was stunned.

Many onlookers saw how Zhang Xian managed to dodge blindly and he definitely had the speed of a grandmaster. How could this kid be so powerful?

"This..."

Yu Zhi was also quite taken aback at seeing Zhang Xian’s speed.

At this moment, he finally understood why Zhang Xian was so arrogant. A youngster in his twenties actually possessed power comparable to a grandmaster.

However, he soon sneered again.

Although Zhang Xian’s power was unbelievable and he had never heard of anyone in their twenties breaking through Innate and entering the Grandmaster Realm, he perceived Zhang Xian as a young bull not afraid of a tiger, thinking he could act recklessly just because he had some strength. He did not understand that there were always bigger fishes in the sea. People like that usually don’t live very long.

"Uh..."

Master Wujing was also quite surprised to see Zhang Xian’s speed.

All along, he had never seen Zhang Xian make a move, nor did he think Zhang Xian was that powerful. The reason their Buddhist temple valued him was because of his miraculous alchemy technique.

Seeing Zhang Xian displaying speed comparable to a grandmaster’s, he was incredibly shocked.

Who in the world brought up this Zhang Xian? He knew quite a few things that even they did not know. Not only did he possess power at the Grandmaster Realm level, he also possessed a miraculous alchemy technique.

Such an existence was simply a miracle in his eyes.

"Die..."

Elder Qi, unable to land a hit on Zhang Xian, became embarrassed. As an elder of the East China Sect, how could he fail to deal with a youngster? How would he face anyone afterwards?

After his first move failed, he once again charged at Zhang Xian.

"Elder Qi..."

Master Wujing suddenly stepped forward, blocking Elder Qi and said, "We’re all here for the same purpose. Isn’t it inappropriate for you to make a scene?"

"Master Wujing, out of my way."

Elder Qi angrily said, "This kid has repeatedly disrespected me, I must kill him today. A kid without even a beard dares to challenge me?"

"Amitabh."

Master Wujing placed his right hand on his chest, chanted a mantra then said, "I can’t let you continue. Unless you step over me."

"You..."

Elder Qi, who dared not make a move against Master Wujing, glared at Zhang Xian and scolded, "Kid, aren’t you big on hiding behind others? Weren’t you very arrogant just now?"

"Old man, do you really think you’re gaining face by bullying a youngster like me?"

Zhang Xian replied, "If that’s the case, all I can say is, you really have a thick face. An Innate expert might not even be able to cut off a single hair on your old face with one slap."

"Pfft..."

Jing Yi and Luo Shuining, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Feeling awkward, they quickly covered their mouths and their pretty faces blushed. Their Qing Shui Nunnery is a minor sect, they wouldn’t dare to challenge the East China Sect.

Everyone else tried their best to suppress their laughter, all of their faces red like a monkey’s butt.

"You little..." Elder Qi was almost angered to the point of coughing up blood.

Unfortunately, Master Wujing was standing in front of him, he was in a dilemma, he couldn’t make a move nor could he refrain, he was on the horns of a dilemma.

Zhang Xian looked at Elder Qi and spoke dismissively, "Old man, I’m not joking, you can’t kill me with your little skills. Instead of fussing around here, why don’t you save some energy."
