If everyone hadn't had so many trump cards and been so confident, the number of Chosen Ones who died might have been several times higher! And that's the effect of taking things by surprise.
Soon, with everyone working together and having both resources and helpers available, a small defensive formation was set up in just a short time.
"Alas, what a pity. We've missed our chance. All the spiritual energy from the earth's veins here is now unusable. We can only use spirit stones as energy for now." Zhang Lu said regretfully, looking at the array that had already been set up.
With the defensive array in place, we are temporarily safe. Once we are safe, we can start thinking about a counterattack, and we will have ample time to observe this so-called Yin-Yang Dust Array.
Among the people present, although there were quite a few who practiced Taoism, who could compare with Zhang Lu in terms of family background and extensive knowledge? Therefore, Zhang Lu directly began to explain the results of his observations.
"This formation has a total of six array flags, which are six key points. They correspond to life, death, darkness, light, illusion, and destruction! In addition, there is a treasure to suppress the formation, which is a talisman that looks to be of a rather high level."
"To break the formation, we need to destroy all six command flags at the same time. Otherwise, if we only destroy one of them, they can recover given time."
"Among them, the Obscure and Bright Sects mainly consist of illusions and illusions that deceive the primordial spirit. The best person to break the formation is someone with a refined primordial spirit or an extremely strong will," Zhang Lu said slowly, glancing at the crowd as he spoke.
"Alright, I'll break this one myself! I want to see just how powerful these scruffy Taoist priests' formations really are!"
Although his voice wasn't loud when he spoke, it was filled with an air of self-confidence that made him the only one worthy of respect and invincible.
Following the sound, they spotted a military general. He wore golden chainmail, lotus-silk cloud-walking boots, and a purple-gold crown. He wielded a twelve-foot-long halberd, carried a precious carved bow on his back, and had a quiver of silver-feathered arrows at his waist. Just sitting there, he exuded an aura of invincibility and dominance.
What's even more amazing is that after he did this, whether it was the usually hot-tempered Zhang Fei, the arrogant Guan Yu, or the extraordinary Ma Chao, they all lowered their heads or turned away, refusing to look at him.
Judging from the behavior of these generals, Lin Yang knew they must have already clashed in private, and perhaps even suffered defeats, or at least been taken advantage of. Otherwise, why would they remain silent when Lü Bu was so arrogant?
That's right, this incredibly powerful and handsome man, capable of defeating Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and Ma Chao, is none other than the legendary Lü Bu. After carefully observing Lü Bu, Lin Yang couldn't help but start making sarcastic remarks.
Wearing golden chainmail, lotus-silk cloud-walking shoes, and a purple-gold crown to bind his hair, if his weapon were changed from the halberd to the Ruyi Jingu Bang, wouldn't that be the standard equipment for the Monkey King?
It seems that Mr. Luo Guanzhong and Mr. Wu Cheng'en were truly of the same mind back then. However, it's unclear who borrowed from whom!
"My goodness, battle intent materializing, that's truly amazing. Legend has it that powerful generals can even destroy an opponent's will with just a glance or a roar, using only their own battle intent. Seeing it today, it's clear the rumors are true." Looking at the huge, angry black shadow behind Lü Bu, Shi A couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Using eye contact to break down an opponent's will is something Shi A can also do, but he relies on mental strength, magic power, or true energy. He simply cannot do it with willpower alone.
"This is Lu Bu among men, the future number one powerhouse in the world! With such a strong will, breaking the formation is simply a piece of cake!" Lin Yang thought to himself.
Throughout the entire history of the Three Kingdoms, who was the most powerful general in the world? The answer is almost certain: it was Lü Bu!
Looking at the numerous military officers on the field, and the extremely awkward atmosphere, even though Zhang Lu wasn't very familiar with these social interactions, he knew that something was wrong!
"Ahem, Master, aren't these two array flags called Huiming and Huiming? That means we need at least two groups of people."
“Yes, yes, that’s right. We also need a powerful martial artist, or a Qi cultivator with an extremely strong primordial spirit. Of course, a scholar will also do.” After receiving Lin Yang’s reminder, Zhang Lu quickly changed the subject.
"In addition, there are the two sects of Illusion and Annihilation. These two sects only require combat skills. The requirements for mental will are lower. These two sects focus on survivability and deal with pure killing moves."
"As for the final two gates of life and death, they are more complicated. These two gates are also the most important of the six gates. They do not test strength, but rather one's luck in the dark. Those with strong luck will naturally be safe and sound."
"As for how fortune manifests itself, it manifests in a series of aspects such as merit, strength, magic weapons, and cultivation techniques." As he spoke, he looked at Lin Yang, Yuan Shao, and Liu Hao.
"By the way, once all six gates are breached, we'll face the magic weapon that's holding the line, and the person who's holding the line! At that time..."

Chapter Sixty-Seven: Breaking the Formation - Samadhi True Fire and Yi Wood Divine Thunder
"Haha. Take this!"
With an excited shout, Lin Yang twirled his spear, instantly producing a series of buzzing sounds. The powerful gust of wind directly destroyed the spell of Master Miaoyi, Qi Shuming.
Well, confidence is earned through hard work. To be honest, even setting aside the future number one Lu Bu, and even considering the likes of Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and Ma Chao, after carefully examining their strength, Lin Yang felt that if it were simply a contest of body refinement, he would probably be no match for them.
But at this moment, as he fought with Qi Shuming, Lin Yang's confidence grew stronger and stronger, and the twelve-foot-long red spear in his hand seemed to come alive.
With his immense blood and qi, and the precious spear working together, Lin Yang became increasingly adept at fighting. No matter what kind of magic Qi Shuming used, he could simply stab him with his spear. Even flying swords could not compare to the spear in his hand.
"Demon, behold my Demon-Slaying Golden Light!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a golden light full of light appeared instantly, spreading out over a range of thousands of feet.
Lin Yang was well aware of this spell. It frequently appeared within Mount Shu. Third-generation disciples like Li Yingqiong and her group, as well as the second-generation sect leader Qi Shuming and his wife, all knew it. Even the first-generation Long-Browed's friends, such as the old monster Li Jingxu, could use it.
It can be said that this spell is practically standard equipment for all righteous practitioners. The only difference is the degree of its power. In Li Yingqiong's hands, it's a hundred-zhang (approximately 33 meters) of demon-slaying golden light. In Qi Shuming's hands, it's a thousand zhang (approximately 330 meters). As for Li Jingxu, it's ten thousand zhang (approximately 330 meters).
Unfortunately, Lin Yang is not a demon, at least not like the demons of this world.
In this world, demons, or rather, the scum of the demonic path, often possess dark attributes in their magical power to varying degrees due to their style of doing things, cultivation methods, and life experiences.
The Demon-Slaying Golden Light, however, is purely of the Light attribute. Light overcomes darkness, hence the name "Demon-Slaying." The problem is, Lin Yang's attribute, while not Light, isn't Dark either!
"Even a grain of rice can shine? Behold my Samadhi True Fire!"
As he spoke, Lin Yang imitated Red Boy, tapping his nose a few times. At the same time, he took out a magic weapon called the Banana Leaf Fan. Of course, it wasn't the one in Lady Iron Fan's hand; it was just a knock-off.
Hoo-la-la
As Lin Yang opened his mouth, a powerful flame erupted. The flame instantly multiplied into several fire dragons, rushing towards Qi Shuming.
"Not bad. Although my aptitude isn't great, I do know a couple of simple and practical spells. Let's see if your golden light is more powerful, or if this work's Samadhi True Fire is stronger!"
Although that's what he said, Lin Yang was actually full of confidence. What is this? This is the Samadhi True Fire that even Sun Wukong couldn't withstand!
Of course, the Samadhi True Fire in Red Boy's hands is of a very high grade, a natural supernatural power. Later, his father, the Bull Demon King, provided him with a lot of resources to cultivate him, which is why he became so powerful.
Lin Yang's Samadhi True Fire is merely a product of the mixture of his own essence, energy, and spirit. Although it is also called Samadhi True Fire, its power is worlds apart.
With that thought, Lin Yang waved his fan, and with a wave of the fan, gusts of wind automatically appeared. After these gusts of wind joined the fire dragon, the fire dragon's size instantly increased several times.
