Chapter 233: Marquis Wu’s Eight Trigrams Formation



Chapter 233: Chapter 233: Marquis Wu’s Eight Trigrams Formation



On the blazing streets, the "God" examiner clad in Gilded Armor gazed at the three individuals.


In an instant, a heavy pressure surged towards them, making them feel suffocated, cold sweat breaking out on their foreheads.


"What should we do? Fight or flee?"


Ji Yufei asked in a very soft voice.


"Fight!"


Zhong Liying and Ao Zihong said simultaneously.


None of the three were agile Spirit Martial Artists. Facing an A-level examiner significantly stronger than themselves, they would die faster if they just turned and fled.


The only way to survive was to find an opportunity in battle.


Swish!


Zhong Liying was the first to act, the Scorching Sun Bow drawn to a full moon, nine Crimson Flame Arrows shot through the sky, the shafts entwined with intense Lieyang True Flame, heading straight for the "God’s" throat.


However, just three feet from the "God," the arrows suddenly halted—as if they had hit an invisible Wall of Light.


The "God" merely lifted his hand lightly, his fingertip flashed with a golden light, and the nine Energy Arrows dissolved like snow, turning to faint sparks drifting away.


Ao Zihong roared, pushing his Fish Dragon Bloodline to the extreme, his dragon-scaled arms flaring with green light.


He leapt up, dragon claws tearing through the air, diving straight for the "God’s" face.


However, the "God" did not even move his feet, merely tilting his head slightly, the eyes beneath the Gilded Helmet cold as ice.


Just as Ao Zihong’s claws were about to touch—


"Bang!"


A blinding golden light erupted, Ao Zihong was struck as if by lightning, thrown back hard into the distant ruins, dust flying everywhere.


His dragon-scaled arms shattered inch by inch, blood dripping from his fingertips.


Seeing this, Ji Yufei’s icy eyes narrowed, her hands swiftly formed seals.


"Extreme Cold Domain!"


She shouted lowly, frost spreading rapidly from her feet, the biting cold transforming into countless ice spikes, stabbing towards the "God" from all directions.


But as soon as the ice spikes approached, they were vaporized completely by the radiance surrounding the "God," leaving not even a trace of moisture.


At this moment, the "God" moved.


He slowly raised his right hand, palm up, a brilliant golden orb formed slowly, a calm and indifferent voice rang out.


"It’s over."


Before the words finished, the orb burst forth, blinding light surging out like a torrent.


Ji Yufei only had time to construct an Ice Shield before the wave of light swallowed her.


The Ice Shield shattered instantly, she groaned, her delicate body flying out like a broken kite, landing heavily beside Ao Zihong, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.


Two green lights lit up on them, indicating they had been eliminated by the "God."


Tap, tap, tap


The "God" walked forward slowly, the sound of Gilded Boots on the scorched earth clearly audible, each step seemed to tread on the trio’s hearts.


Zhong Liying’s pupils contracted sharply, the Scorching Sun Bow still in hand, but she dared not easily release another arrow.


At this moment, the comment section exploded again.


"Is this the power of an A-level examiner? Truly terrifying."


"Ao Zihong is also a Four Star Genius, yet he couldn’t withstand even one move from an A-level examiner, that’s outrageous."


"Get away from our Xiao Ying!"


"Get lost, scoundrel!"


"No, grievances have their origins, if these three were eliminated, isn’t Black Crow to blame?"


"That’s right, he’s the biggest jerk!"


"Argh, Black Crow, I curse you to die horribly!"


...


"Wow, he’s that strong~"


In the shadows, Qin Tian raised an eyebrow. In his view, the "God’s" oppressive presence was almost equal to that of the Tier Six Dark Elf Kaelan from before.


Comparable to an Epic Level monster in a game.


At least two or more five-star geniuses must join forces, along with other genius lineups, to have a chance to defeat an A-level examiner.


Qin Tian felt no guilt for the "tragedy" he caused.


This is the event’s rules.


Examiners and examinees can use various means to eliminate each other.


Shifting trouble, driving wolves to consume tigers, is also a strategy.


...


Under the suffocating pressure, Zhong Liying’s fingers still trembled slightly. She took a deep breath, the bowstring of the Scorching Sun Bow stained red with blood, yet she stubbornly drew it back.


She could lose, but she couldn’t lose the courage to resist.


"Whoosh——"


The last Crimson Flame Arrow flew through the sky, trailing a dazzling tail flame heading straight for the "God’s" forehead.


However, the "God" merely raised his hand casually, the Gilded Glove precisely catching the arrow shaft.


"Snap"


His five fingers closed, the arrow infused with Lieyang Essence Flame shattered like glaze, scattering into a shower of fire.


The golden eyes beneath the "God’s" helmet were calm as water, his right fist slowly gathering dazzling white light.


A blazing white pillar of light erupted, the air twisting and boiling in its wake.


Zhong Liying’s crimson hair whipped wildly in the chaotic energy currents, the blinding light forcing her to close her eyes.


Crushing pressure enveloped her, yet she couldn’t move a single finger.


At this critical moment——


"Eight Trigrams Array—Kun Character Secret, Earth Flow Wall."


A steady voice pierced the energy storm. The ground trembled violently, a thick earth wall rose, mysterious Eight Trigrams symbols flowing on its surface.


As the light pillar struck the earth wall, the entire block trembled.


"Crack, crack, crack..."


The earth wall’s surface quickly cracked, yet it stubbornly resisted the devastating energy impact.


Taking advantage of this precious respite, a white figure suddenly appeared at Zhong Liying’s side.


"Apologies."


A cold young voice sounded beside her ear, simultaneously a warm hand firmly grasped her wrist.


Before she could react, the voice sounded again:


"Kun Character Secret—Earth Split."


"Boom!"


The entire street suddenly surged like a living thing, countless sand and stones erupted from the ground, forming a sky-shrouding sandstorm.


The "God’s" white figure was instantly swallowed by the rolling dust.


When the blinding light pillar finally penetrated the sandstorm, the hovering "God’s" Gilded Armor was already covered in dust.


He looked down, the shattered street no longer bearing any trace of Zhong Liying, only a dirt escape trail stretching into the distance.


Beneath the helmet, those golden pupils showed a hint of fluctuation for the first time.


...


"So it was them."


Qin Tian’s eyes flashed; those who just rescued Zhong Liying were the top genius of the five-star list, the Celestial Profound Sword Fu Ning, and another was Zhuge Yu, heir of the Marquis Wu and someone with whom he had crossed paths.


Zhuge Yu was also a five-star genius, though ranked below Fu Ning, but in Qin Tian’s view, Zhuge Yu was far more troublesome than the Sword Cultivator Fu Ning.


"Wuhou Eight Trigrams Array."


Qin Tian looked into the distance, his gaze deep.


The Eight Trigrams rotate, silently in accord with the way of heaven.


Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, Dui, the eight trigrams correspond to all things in the universe, evolving into infinite changes


Even in this era of Spiritual Energy dominance, this legacy of thousands of years old array still shines brightly.


"Ah, I really don’t like having smart people as opponents."


Qin Tian shook his head, holding the boots he had just seized, vanishing into the shadows.
