As those beams of golden light shot out, everyone present immediately became solemn.
"This is... a formation?"
Xiao Yan looked around and couldn't help but frown. In the blink of an eye, the entire space was enveloped in golden light.
Hundreds of golden rays spread across the void. Under Mu Han's control, each ray of golden light expanded into a barrier. All the barriers were pieced together, sealing Mu Han and his group, as well as Xiao Yan and the others, inside.
Although Xiao Yan wanted to use the Heavenly Severing Steps to leave, the barrier had already been assembled, so no matter how fast he was, he couldn't leave this space.
Gu Li and Chi Lin stared at the barrier with solemn expressions. Compared to alchemists, array masters were truly terrifying in actual combat!
The strength of alchemists lies in the miraculous effects of their pills, which can bring the dead back to life, heal the wounded, turn the tide, and save lives. Array masters, on the other hand, can use the advantages of arrays to both attack and defend, using offense as defense and defense as offense. Compared to the alchemists' restraint, they are always sharp and unrestrained!
With a swift movement, Xiao Yan arrived before the barrier. Although his internal strength remained, he was not seriously injured. Therefore, as he paused, Xiao Yan clenched his right fist tightly, and his newly recovered right arm was once again filled with power.
Dou Qi rapidly condensed in his palm. He raised his right fist, slightly shifted Xiao Yan body, and slammed the fist down hard.
" Eight Extremes Collapse!"
"Clang!"
The fierce punch, carrying terrifying power, slammed into the barrier, ultimately producing a crisp sound like the tolling of a bell, and ripples like waves on water.
As the ripples subsided and the barrier returned to its smooth, undamaged state, Xiao Yan's heart sank slightly.
The barrier was far more sturdy than he had imagined!
Xiao Yan's Eight Extremes Collapse had a negligible effect on this barrier. Although it could disperse some of the energy on the barrier, the entire barrier would be restored to its original state in the blink of an eye.
If this continues, even if Xiao Yan throws ten or a hundred more punches, he still won't be able to break through this barrier.
Seeing this, Gu Li and Chi Lin felt a chill in their hearts. Given the defensive strength of this barrier, it would probably take all three of them working together to have a chance of breaking it.
But Mu Han is right in front of them right now. If they want to hold him back, only Gu Li and the other two can do it together for a short while. If it goes on for too long, they will be no match for Mu Han.
"Heh, this formation of mine uses a full three hundred Formation Plate to form a barrier. Even Eight-Star Half-Emperor would find it difficult to break through in less than one or two hours if they went all out. Do you think you can force your way through?"
Mu Han stared at Xiao Yan, a disdainful sneer curling at the corner of his mouth. As Nine-Star Half-Emperor and a Third-Tier Formation Master, he had absolute confidence and assurance in facing Xiao Yan.
Hearing Mu Han's words, Xiao Yan felt even heavier. Although Mu Han's words were somewhat exaggerated, the terrifying nature of the barrier was undeniable. Xiao Yan had to admit that with his current strength, it would indeed be very difficult to break through the barrier.
"Boom!"
However, just as Xiao Yan felt a heavy weight in his heart, a thunderous explosion suddenly rang out behind Xiao Yan.
The moment the explosion rang out, Xiao Yan's face turned to one of horror. Ignoring the throbbing pain from his remaining injuries, Xiao Yan moved swiftly, unleashing the Heavenly Severing Steps and turning to retreat.
But when Xiao Yan looked up at the site of the explosion with a trembling expression, his expression suddenly turned to one of astonishment.
Outside the barrier, an old man was forming hand seals, and in the void before him, a giant, golden finger was rapidly forming.
Upon seeing Xiao Yan's gaze fall upon him, the old man burst into laughter and said:
"Hahahaha, I've long heard that although Mr. Yan Xiao seems simple, his strength far surpasses his cultivation level. I've always been somewhat skeptical, but seeing him today, I can see he truly is a dragon among men! Hahahaha..."
"Sir, you flatter me. But may I ask why you say that?"
Hearing the old man's words of praise, Xiao Yan cupped his hands and smiled in return.
"Haha, I am also a person who appreciates talent. Seeing that Mr. Yan Xiao is in trouble, I am willing to lend him a helping hand!"
"In that case, thank you very much for your help, sir!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan felt relieved, and a smile of relief appeared on his face. He quickly bowed to the old man in gratitude.
"Hehe, Mr. Yan Xiao, you're too kind. My real name is Zhong Li Yan Xiao, so please just call me by my name. I won't stand on ceremony and will address you as Brother Yan Xiao!"
"Brother Zhong Li!"
Xiao Yan immediately laughed.
The fact that someone offered help already filled Xiao Yan with immense joy, and now that it was merely a title, Xiao Yan naturally wouldn't hesitate in the slightest.
As soon as the two finished speaking, the giant finger in front of Zhong Li was fully formed. Then, with a casual flick of his wrist, the golden finger, carrying an earth-shattering and terrifying power, slammed fiercely into the barrier.
"Boom!"
Another explosion rang out, and the entire barrier formed by the array trembled violently. Waves of energy, like ocean waves, rapidly spread across the barrier. Even so, after the power of the Golden Finger was completely exhausted, the barrier remained intact.
Upon seeing this, Zhong Li couldn't help but frown. Mu Han's formation was indeed quite remarkable.
"Hmph! Zhong Li, I didn't expect even you would dare to interfere in my affairs. This kid has really given you a lot of courage!"
Mu Han looked at Zhong Li with a gloomy expression, his words filled with disdain.
"Do you really think that your rabble can defeat me?"
With a deep, sharp shout, Mu Han's Spiritual Strength surged wildly from between his brows, and the hand seals in his hands changed rapidly, causing the great array that enveloped the entire space to shift accordingly.
Mu Han waved his hand, and several streams of light shot out, quickly disappearing into the formation.
"Drink!"
With a sharp shout, Mu Han suddenly shot towards Gu Li and the other two, and at the same time, he flipped his palm, condensed his Dou Qi, and slammed a palm at the two of them.
"Boom!"
A terrifying wave of Dou Qi aura swept outwards from the three of them, slamming into the barrier and creating ripples.
A few breaths later, Mu Han, who was clashing with Gu Li and the other two in the arena, suddenly shuddered, and his terrifying Dou Qi poured out again, forcibly shattering their Dou Technique.
With their Dou Technique broken, Gu Li and the other person were also affected. With a muffled groan, both of them turned pale and retreated rapidly. When they stopped, their hands under their sleeves were trembling slightly uncontrollably.
The power of Nine-Star Half-Emperor is indeed terrifying. Even though the two of them worked together to stop Mu Han, it was still extremely difficult.
" Yan Xiao, quick! Break through the barrier and get out of here immediately! If we drag this out any longer, this guy might get serious, and then none of us will be able to escape! Hurry!"
Gu Li's stern shout rang out again, and Xiao Yan turned around with a solemn expression, his gaze once again focusing on the barrier in front of him. Although he and Zhong Li were there, this barrier was truly extraordinary. After Mu Han's reinforcement just now, this barrier was even more difficult to break through.
"Damn it! I refuse to believe that after killing Eight-Star Half-Emperor, I can't even handle your lousy barrier!"
Seeing the increasingly solemn expressions on Gu Li's and Xiao Yan's faces, Xiao Yan finally became completely serious as well.
