Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2767: Chapter 2766: The 3,000 Sword Array!

In the jungle, the afterglow of the sunset casts a silver sheen on the quiet scene.

Dugu Tian is currently staring at the "Five Elements Xuanwu Formation" that shines with the light of the Five Elements.

His gaze carries both curiosity and a sense of challenge, after all, Lin Dong actually made him directly display a strike of a Stage Five Grandmaster.

Can this be blocked?

Can a formation composed by merely a Second-layer Heaven Grandmaster as the main array person block a lethal strike from a Fifth-layered Heaven Grandmaster?

"Boom!" Accompanied by a deafening crash, Dugu Tian condensed a fist, unleashing the ultimate skill of a full-force strike of a Stage Five Grandmaster.

The fist wind was like a dragon, carrying terrifying power that tore through space and violently struck the barrier of the "Five Elements Xuanwu Formation".

However, that seemingly intangible barrier was like an unbreakable rock, only shaking gently a few times before returning to calm, as if it had not left even a ripple.

"This... is too powerful!" After Dugu Tian unleashed a punch, his gaze sharp, he immediately looked at Lin Dong.

Although he is not an array master, he has quite a deep understanding of the way of formations.

"War God Lin, in my opinion, the defensive power of this formation has at least reached the upper limit of a third-level defense array, possibly even higher!"

He knew that a third-level defense array is extremely rare, able to withstand attacks from most Grandmasters, and the formation before him clearly exceeded his expectations.

Lin Dong pondered for a moment, and said again: "Senior Dugu, try to enhance your strength and test this formation’s defensive power. It hasn’t reached its limit yet!"

"War God Lin, are you suggesting I increase my power to try a strike of a Sixth-stage Grandmaster?" Dugu Tian’s voice carried a hint of uncertainty.

After all, such a test is a challenge for both parties.

Lin Dong nodded, expression firm: "Correct. We need to know the limits of this formation, which is crucial for our upcoming team match."

Upon receiving Lin Dong’s confirmation, Dugu Tian took a deep breath, and the true qi in his body boiled, like rivers and seas surging inside him.

He once again gathered strength, this time unleashing a full-force strike as a Sixth-stage Grandmaster,

The fist wind transformed into a brilliant stream of light, carrying the power of Heaven and Earth, roaring towards the "Five Elements Xuanwu Formation".

"Boom––!"

This collision was even more violent than before, shaking the entire space. The barrier of the Five Elements Xuanwu Formation finally showed obvious fluctuations, with the light of the five elements flickering unpredictably, seemingly in a fierce struggle against this tremendous power.

However, even so, the barrier tenaciously held its ground, ultimately completely blocking Dugu Tian’s attack, albeit the light dimmed slightly, proving that this attack’s power was extraordinary.

Inside the formation, Ye Linglong and her companions exchanged glances, full of disbelief in their eyes.

They were just a group of young martial artists with varying cultivation levels, yet the "Five Elements Xuanwu Formation" could withstand a strike from a Sixth-stage Grandmaster, which was beyond all their imagination.

"I actually became a part of a formation that blocks a Grandmaster?" a martial way Grandmaster exclaimed.

"And at that, a strike of a Sixth-stage Grandmaster! Oh my, I’m just a Gold-Realm Martial Artist, and yet became part of such a formation. I can boast about this for a lifetime!"

"In the eyes of ordinary soldiers like us, Grandmasters are like gods. A mere gaze from them could slaughter us. Yet today, I became someone who could withstand their attack!"

"Isn’t War God Lin too amazing? It’s like he turns decay into the miraculous!"

"With this formation, in the team match, who can break in?"

"This team match won’t be like the last time."

"..."

At this moment, these three thousand warriors were all brimming with confidence.

At the same time, their admiration for Lin Dong reached an indescribable level.

And Dugu Tian, after witnessing this, looked at Lin Dong with eyes full of shock and admiration.

He realized that the young War God before him not only had extraordinary martial arts cultivation but also had remarkable accomplishments in alchemy, divine talismans, and formations, making him undoubtedly one of the most dazzling figures of this era.

"War God Lin, this formation probably has reached the level of a fourth-level defense array, if not even higher." Dugu Tian’s words carried a touch of appreciation.

He knew he truly witnessed genuine genius and talent today.

"With this defensive formation, our Dragon Country War Department’s team match will surely obtain a good ranking this time!"

Lin Dong smiled slightly and said: "This isn’t enough. Defense alone isn’t sufficient. There must also be an attack formation."

"Otherwise, it’s like a turtle only passively taking hits."

"To claim first place, strong defense alone is not enough. We must also defeat the other teams."

Under the afterglow of the sunset, Lin Dong stood outside the Five Elements Xuanwu Formation, his gaze sweeping across the youthful and vibrant martial artists before him.

There was still a trace of shock on their faces regarding the formidable defensive power of the Five Elements Xuanwu Formation.

"Everyone, the Five Elements Xuanwu Formation is strong, but as I said before, true victory requires powerful offensive strength as support."

"Next, I will teach you all a formidable offensive formation, called the ’Three Thousand Sword Formation’."

Lin Dong’s voice was steady and strong, each word seemed to carry immense weight, striking at the heart.

He slowly unfolded an ancient array map, densely drawn with various sword symbols and paths, which was the explanation for setting up the Three Thousand Sword Formation.

"This formation requires everyone to hold a sword, totaling three thousand swords, to fully harness its true power. Once the sword formation is complete, it is like a rain of swords, invincible in any direction."

As Lin Dong explained, everyone got busy, taking out swords from their gear bags, some long, some short, some sharp, some venerably old. Those without a sword borrowed one from others.

Some even replaced swords with sticks!

Ye Linglong, as the team leader and the core of the Five Elements Xuanwu Formation, was also assigned a more important role: as the main array person of the Three Thousand Sword Formation.

"Ye Linglong, you will become the soul of this Three Thousand Sword Formation." Lin Dong walked up to Ye Linglong and said to her:

"Take out that Fourth-rank Spirit Rope ’Spirit Snake Rope’ I gave you earlier to use as a sword. It can serve as both your weapon and the key to linking the entire sword formation. You need to use the Spirit Snake Rope to guide and converge everyone’s Sword Qi into a lethal strike."

Ye Linglong took out the Fourth-rank Spirit Rope ’Spirit Snake Rope’, and following Lin Dong’s guidance, activated it.

Instantly, she felt a gentle spiritual force flowing from the rope into her body, merging with her spirit, seemingly giving her a pair of invisible wings, filling her with confidence for the challenge ahead.

"As the main array person, your task is challenging." Lin Dong continued, "You need to stand in the center of the sword formation, using the Spirit Snake Rope as a medium, to sense the position of each sword and the strength of the Sword Qi, guiding these Sword Qi along the paths depicted in the array map through specific hand gestures and chants, ultimately converging into an indomitable sword river."

Lin Dong began carefully instructing Ye Linglong on how to use the Spirit Snake Rope and her own spiritual strength to perceive and guide every wisp of Sword Qi in the sword formation.

He demonstrated complex hand gestures, each movement precise and accurate, while muttering ancient incantations, which seemed to possess magical power, causing the surrounding air to tremble.

Ye Linglong focused intently on learning, her eyes gradually lighting up, as if piercing through the night color, able to see every subtle detail of the sword formation.

She attempted, following Lin Dong’s instruction, using the Spirit Snake Rope as a guide, slowly extending her hand, her fingertips lightly touching the air, as if touching those invisible Sword Qis.

With her movement, the surrounding swords began to tremble slightly, as if responding to her call, with strands of weak Sword Qi starting to flow slowly under her guidance along specific paths.

As time passed, Ye Linglong’s control over the Spirit Snake Rope became more proficient, and her perception of Sword Qi increasingly keen.

She seemed to become the heart of the Three Thousand Sword Formation, every beat, driving the pulsation of the entire sword formation, heralding the impending powerful attack.

Under Lin Dong’s careful teaching, the setup of the Three Thousand Sword Formation gradually took shape, with every martial artist becoming an indispensable part of this grand sword formation, and Ye Linglong, the core that condensed all this into power.

As for what kind of power it could explode with, Lin Dong didn’t know yet.

He turned his head, once again looking at Dugu Tian.

"Senior Dugu, we need to trouble you again to test the power of this Three Thousand Sword Formation!"
