Chapter 123 Five Directional Flags
The sudden change startled Xiao Chong, who groaned in pain and turned to run away.
In its rage, the Star Soul Beast had clearly lost its mind. At this moment, Xiao Chong did not want to have any further conflict with it, lest the situation become even more uncontrollable.
In terms of speed, the Star Soul Beasts were clearly no match for Xiao Chong. Thus, a spectacular scene unfolded outside the city gate: one man leaped forward like the wind, while a large group of Star Souls chased after him.
After several leaps and bounds, Xiao Chong finally managed to safely scale the city wall, leaving a large group of enraged Star Soul Beasts behind.
After landing in the crowd, Xiao Chong sighed repeatedly at the bewildered and helpless Hengshan, not knowing what to say to him.
Brother, so it turns out you're the one who's really causing all this trouble! I've been working so hard negotiating with the other party, and now you've ruined everything. All my efforts have been for nothing!
Moreover, what you're doing is extremely dishonest. Where do you place me? Even if you're trying to pull off a feint, you shouldn't be doing it so hastily!
Watching helplessly as a highly effective negotiation was completely disrupted just as it was about to take effect, Xiao Chong was so angry that his eyebrows twitched and his expression was incredibly complex.
Yokoyama felt even more ashamed, wishing he could find a crack in the city wall to crawl into.
It's so embarrassing! To make such a huge mess at such a crucial moment, it's enough to make one want to disappear.
The fact that it happened in Yokoyama is still inexplicable.
Can you say that a martial arts master can't even control a bowstring? Can you say it's because he was excited and lost control? That would make people doubt their own abilities.
Most importantly, can you express your true thoughts just now? Regardless of whether the other party will get angry, simply exposing your dark side in broad daylight will make you unable to hold your head high in front of the world in the future.
Being a person is so hard! Under Xiao Chong's sharp gaze, Hengshan felt as if a thousand awns were simultaneously pricking his back, making him incredibly itchy. Despite the freezing weather, sweat was pouring down his forehead.
How long has it been since I last sweated after becoming a martial arts master? Will I get a headache, fever, or catch a cold if I suddenly get exposed to a cold wind?
Feeling the changes in his body, Yokoyama suddenly became somewhat insecure.
After a long pause, barely suppressing his unease, Hengshan, as if unable to withstand the winter chill, rubbed his hands and stammered, "Brother Xiao, what do you think we should do now?"
How dare you ask? If it weren't for that inexplicable arrow just now, I might be sitting down drinking with that Star Soul Beast right now!
Xiao Chong suppressed the urge to strangle the other person and said irritably, "What else can we do? Of course, we fight!"
"Is it possible to try again? To see if we can salvage the situation?" Yokoyama asked weakly, sounding unsure of himself.
Seeing that Yokoyama had already given in and was looking down like a wronged wife, Xiao Chong didn't want to embarrass him any further.
He softened his tone and said, "These Star Soul Beasts are currently in a state of rage, and the consequences of going down rashly are unpredictable."
The safest course of action now is to remain defensive and avoid attacking, so as not to provoke them and worsen the situation. Once they have calmed down, I will try to communicate with them further.
However, there is a major problem with doing this..."
At this point, Xiao Chong stopped and stared at the crowd on the city wall without saying a word.
"What's the problem?" Yokoyama asked urgently, hearing that there was still hope for things to ease.
Xiao Chong continued to look at the crowd on the city wall and said worriedly, "These people have low cultivation levels and no experience in resisting mental attacks. If they only defend and do not attack, they will probably face great difficulties."
“I have a method that might be worth trying.” Upon hearing that Xiao Chong was worried about this issue, Yokoyama immediately perked up, his brows relaxed, and his lost confidence was finally regained.
"Oh, what brilliant plan do you have?" Xiao Chong asked curiously.
Yokoyama did not answer immediately. Instead, he solemnly took out a small set of colorful flags from his bosom and presented them to Xiao Chong like a treasure, smiling without saying a word.
Xiao Chong had never seen such an object before, and his curiosity grew even stronger: "What is this thing, and what is it used for?"
Yokoyama proudly introduced, "There are five of these, called the Five Directions Array Flags, which were crafted by a formation master in our clan who specializes in formations."
By simply placing these five array flags according to the five elements' positions, a small five-element array can be set up, which is most effective for defending against ordinary attacks.
At this point, Yokoyama's expression suddenly darkened again, and he sighed, "It's a pity that there are too few of these five-directional array flags, which limits the strength and space of the defense."
If we could gather all 108 sets, we could set up the Yin-Yang Five Elements Grand Array. At that point, even encircling the entire Tiannan Town would be a piece of cake!
Is it really that amazing? I'd only ever heard of the profession of array master before, but I'd never witnessed its power firsthand. Today, I'm going to see for myself. Xiao Chong's gaze returned to the small array flags.
Wait, what kind of formation was that they just mentioned? Right, it's the Yin-Yang Five Elements Formation! Xiao Chong was taken aback.
Since arriving on the Tianyun Continent, Xiao Chong had never heard of the Five Elements before. Now, hearing it suddenly from Hengshan was like a thunderclap in his ears.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Even Yi the Great's Heaven-Shaking Bow can appear in this world, so it's not surprising that the Five Elements have appeared as well.
Now that the Five Elements have emerged, shouldn't there also be Taiji, Yin and Yang, the Three Powers, the Four Symbols? And even the Six Harmonies, the Seven Stars, the Eight Trigrams, the Nine Palaces, and the Ambush from Ten Sides, wouldn't that also make sense?
Xiao Chong suddenly realized that the Tianyun Continent was truly outrageous, always having intricate connections to his past life.
While he was lost in thought, Yokoyama had already sprinted across the city wall and, according to the five elements, struck a set of five-directional array flags into the ground.
brush!
To Xiao Chong's astonishment, a yellowish-brown light curtain slowly rose from the ground, extending from the city gate along the city wall to both sides, spanning more than five hundred feet.
A new discovery! This is absolutely the greatest discovery of this century! Xiao Chong leaped up, his eyes shining, as if a huge door was slowly opening in front of him, filled with all sorts of treasures!
In his previous life, when he studied Taoist scriptures, he explored various Taoist formations. However, at that time, it was out of curiosity, and he only learned the basics and could not be said to have mastered them.
Moreover, he knew that even if he could set up those formations perfectly, it would be meaningless in that world.
But things are different now. I've traveled through time, and now the impossible has become possible!
But why didn't he study them thoroughly back then? Watching the treasure flash before his eyes and then slip away, Xiao Chong felt his heart shatter into pieces.
