Chapter 244: Ten Absolute Formations

When Nezha saw Yang Jian break Baili Tianjun's flame formation by himself, the tension and worry in his heart instantly turned into joy and admiration.

He excitedly waved his flaming spear and shouted loudly: "Big Brother Yang Jian is mighty!!"

Nezha has always been very convinced of this partner who is a few years older than him after competing with him. Now, after seeing Yang Jian win the fight, his face is filled with unconcealable joy, as if he had won the victory himself.

Li Jing and his wife at the back finally put down their hearts at this moment. They smiled at each other, with a look of relief between their brows, "He is worthy of being Brother Yang's son! It is true that a tiger father will have a dog son!"

Mrs. Li sighed softly, her eyes full of relief.

Kong Xuan stood aside, his eyes full of admiration, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "This boy has outstanding talent and a strong character. He is truly a rare genius in the world." His words were full of admiration for Yang Jian, and also revealed his expectations for the future.

Bai Li Tianjun looked ashen. His flaming array was broken, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to him. His eyes were full of loss and unwillingness. His hands trembled as he held the powerless red flag. The pride and confidence in his heart collapsed at this moment.

His face was ashen, his eyes were empty, as if he had lost all his brilliance. His body was trembling slightly, as if he could not accept the reality before him.

His heart of Taoism has been broken!
No one expected that the flame formation that they had painstakingly cultivated for many years could be easily broken by a young man.

Wang Tianjun and Zhang Tianjun stood aside, their expressions very stiff, their eyes full of disbelief.

They originally thought that Bai Li Tianjun's flame formation was enough to suppress everything, but they didn't expect that Yang Jian could break out of the formation.

Below, Qin Wan Tianjun, who was riding on a fairy deer, frowned and his fingers unconsciously tapped the jade belt around his waist.

At this moment his heart was filled with worries, he knew what the outcome of this battle would mean to them.

Unless they can get back their dignity, the prestige of the Ten Heavenly Lords will be completely gone!

Wen Zhong was riding on the back of the black unicorn, his face full of sorrow, his brows were furrowed, and the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously.

His eyes scanned the battlefield, as if looking for a solution.

Finally, he turned to look at the several Heavenly Monarchs standing beside him, and said in a low and anxious voice: "What should we do now? All our plans have failed."

The Golden Light Holy Mother stood aside, with a gentle light in her eyes. She comforted him softly, "Don't worry too much, Taoist friend. Everything is destined. Although Yang Jian is strong, the cycle of heaven is always balanced.

We just have to wait and see what happens.”

"No, we have to take the initiative."

Qin Wantianjun said in a deep voice: "My fellow disciples, follow me."

As soon as he finished speaking, several Heavenly Kings rose into the air and rushed towards Yang Jian with great momentum.

When Nezha saw several Heavenly Lords rushing towards Yang Jian, his face turned red with anger. He brandished his flaming spear and shouted angrily, "You Heavenly Lords are so despicable and shameless! You have already lost, yet you still gang up on me! What's the point of using numbers to bully the few? Come at me if you dare!"

Facing the sudden change, Yang Jian looked solemn, but he had no intention of retreating. He took a deep breath, gathered all his strength, and prepared to meet the attack of these Heavenly Lords.

At this critical moment, Kong Xuan suddenly flashed forward, and a five-colored divine light appeared behind him. The divine light contained a powerful force that seemed to be able to wash away all impurities.

Kong Xuan's face was calm. He waved his hand lightly, and it seemed that he was holding an invisible object in his hand. The five-colored divine light was like a gorgeous rainbow, gently brushing forward.

The five-colored divine light was like a divine sword that traveled through time and space, sweeping through the Heavenly Kings at incredible speed.

Those Heavenly Kings who were rushing in the front suddenly felt an irresistible force surging. Their offensive was forced to stop and then they were brushed back by the five-colored divine light.

Qin Wantianjun and the others were so shocked that they flew backwards involuntarily. Their attacks, in front of the five-colored divine light, were like mist meeting the scorching sun, and dissipated in an instant.

Under the impact of the five-colored divine light, the ten Heavenly Lords retreated one after another, their offensives were completely turned into nothingness, and their bodies flew backwards involuntarily. Their expressions changed from shock to horror, and they obviously did not expect Kong Xuan to have such a method.

Every Heavenly Lord felt an incomparably powerful force the moment he was touched by the five-colored divine light. It was not just a physical impact, but more like a shock that directly struck the soul.

Their magic power seemed to be stripped away layer by layer under this blow, and could not be condensed into an effective counterattack.

The scene became chaotic in an instant. Those originally aggressive Heavenly Kings were now like fallen leaves in the wind, being ruthlessly blown away and swaying weakly in the air.

Qin Wan Tianjun's face turned extremely pale in an instant, and his eyes were filled with fear and disbelief. He never thought that Kong Xuan could easily resolve their siege by himself.

When everyone in the field saw this scene, they couldn't help but be shocked by Kong Xuan's strength.

Nezha's anger was slightly subsided by Kong Xuan's action. He looked at Kong Xuan's back with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Li Jing and his wife and other immortals who were watching the battle also started talking about it. They were full of curiosity and admiration for Kong Xuan's power.

Yang Jian looked at the Heavenly Kings who were driven back by the five-colored divine light, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes. He had originally wanted to borrow the help of the ten Heavenly Kings to test the extent of his own strength.

He said to Kong Xuan: "Thank you, Marshal, for your help."

Kong Xuan nodded slightly, his eyes were deep, as if he saw through it all, he said softly: "Yang Jian, don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to hone yourself in the future."

Yang Jian looked at Kong Xuan deeply and nodded silently.

"kill!"

Yao Tianjun roared and rushed towards Kong Xuan, and the other Tianjuns followed him using their own methods.

Kong Xuan stood in the void, surrounded by a faint fairy air, his eyes revealing an extraordinary tranquility and confidence. Facing the siege of the Ten Heavenly Lords, he was not panicked at all, but instead raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, as if he had expected all this.

The battle was about to break out. The ten heavenly kings displayed their magical powers and attacked Kong Xuan with various means, forming a thrilling picture.

However, just as this overwhelming offensive was about to overwhelm Kong Xuan, a dazzling five-colored divine light suddenly appeared behind him.

This five-colored divine light was Kong Xuan's unique skill, it could sweep away anything and was omnipotent. With a gentle wave of it, it was like thousands of rainbows cutting through the sky, dissolving all the attacks of the Ten Heavenly Lords one by one.

Whether it was red water, blazing flames, or even the most vicious blood-transforming poison, they all looked so pale and powerless under the illumination of the five-colored divine light.

They were brushed away one by one and disappeared into thin air, as if they had never existed.

When the ten heavenly kings saw this, they all looked horrified.

They never imagined that Kong Xuan possessed such powerful magical powers.

The ten celestial monarchs joined forces again, condensing their respective powers to the extreme, preparing to launch a more fierce attack. However, Kong Xuan just smiled slightly, and the five-colored divine light behind him shone again, dissolving their attacks one by one into nothingness.

Qin Wantianjun steadied himself, his face gloomy as water. He stared at Kong Xuan with sharp eyes, and his voice trembled a little: "Who are you? How come I have never heard of a master like you in the Great Shang Army!"

Wen Zhong next to him was equally shocked. He stared at Kong Xuan with intense curiosity and confusion in his heart.

He had seen countless powerful men, but had never seen such an unfathomable person, especially since the other party was actually hiding in the army of the Shang Dynasty.

You know, Master Wen was in charge of all the military affairs of Da Shang, which was almost equivalent to holding all the troops of Da Shang in his hands, but he never knew that there was such a person in the army.

Even the Ten Heavenly Lords were forced to retreat with just one move, which shows that his magical powers are far beyond the reach of ordinary immortals and gods!
Kong Xuan seemed not to have heard Qin Wan Tianjun's questioning. His eyes were cold and sharp as a torch. He looked directly at Wen Zhong and said in a calm and firm voice, "Wen Zhong, why don't you surrender quickly? Why are you struggling in vain?"

When Wen Zhong heard this, his face turned pale and anger burned in his chest.

He was the Grand Tutor of the current dynasty and held a high position, and had never been insulted so bluntly.

However, facing Kong Xuan's eyes that seemed to see through everything, he felt an indescribable sense of oppression.

"Kong Xuan, you...you are plotting a rebellion. This Grand Master will never go along with you!" Wen Zhong said gritting his teeth.

Upon seeing this, Qin Wan Tianjun immediately stepped forward and tried to help Wen Zhong: "Kong Xuan, although you are very powerful, don't forget that we are disciples of Jiejiao. If you go against us, you will be against Jiejiao!!!"

Kong Xuan remained unmoved. He looked away from Wen Zhong and turned to look at Qin Wan Tianjun. The light in his eyes became even deeper. "Qin Wan Tianjun, it's not too late for you to leave now. If you continue to be stubborn, you may not be able to leave."

When Qin Wantianjun and others heard Kong Xuan's words, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

They knew that if they continued to forcefully resist today, they would only put themselves in a more disadvantageous position.

Wen Zhong looked at Kong Xuan's eyes that were like the abyss, and finally felt a little uneasy. He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and whispered to Qin Wan Tianjun: "Tianjun, what should we do?"

Qin Wan Tianjun was silent for a moment. He knew that there was no way out at this time, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "My fellow disciples, we, the Ten Heavenly Monarchs, represent the face of Jiejiao. How can we flee without a fight?"

As soon as Qin Wan Tianjun finished speaking, the atmosphere among the ten Tianjuns instantly became one of common hatred for the enemy.

"Yes, we are the Heavenly Monarchs of Jiejiao, how can we lose the face of Jiejiao!" Wang Tianjun spoke first, with an unyielding will in his voice.

Zhang Tianjun followed closely behind: "Let's set up the Ten Absolute Formations together and see if Kong Xuan can still remain so calm!"

Other Heavenly Kings also expressed their opinions. Their hearts were ignited with passion and they were determined to prove their strength through actions.

Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, Qin Wan Tianjun gave the order, "Okay! We will immediately set up the Ten Absolute Formations to let them know how powerful we, the Ten Tianjuns, are!"

In an instant, the sky seemed to be covered by a thick haze, foreshadowing that something extraordinary was about to happen.

Qin Wan, Zhao Jiang, Dong Quan, Yuan Jiao, the Golden Light Mother Goddess, Sun Liang, Bai Li, Yao Bin, Wang Bian and Zhang Shao, these ten Jiejiao masters, all wore Taoist robes, held magical instruments in their hands, stepped on auspicious clouds, and slowly rose into the air.

Their faces were solemn, and their eyes were flashing with determination and resoluteness.

Following Qin Wan's order, the ten immortals each displayed their magical powers, and the wind and clouds between heaven and earth changed dramatically, and spiritual energy surged.

First, the Tianjue Formation appeared, and an invisible barrier covered the sky above the entire formation. The stars retreated, the sun and the moon lost their light, as if the entire world was isolated from this world.

Then, the Earth Fire Array cracked from the ground, and red flames and black magma intertwined together, as if the gates of hell were opened, releasing a destructive force.

The howling wind array followed, with a force that could tear everything apart. Trees were uprooted, rocks flew in the air, and the world was in chaos. The ice array was the opposite, with cold air as sharp as a knife, freezing everything around in an instant, even the air seemed to solidify, forming a crystal clear ice sculpture world.

In the Golden Light Formation, the golden light shone brightly, as if thousands of sharp swords pierced through the clouds and shot straight down, making people dare not look directly at it. The Blood Transformation Formation was even more sinister, with a thick poisonous fog filling the air. Any living creature that was contaminated would instantly vanish. The Soul-Falling Formation attacked with sound waves, and waves of strange flute sounds rang out, striking people's hearts directly, making them uneasy, as if their souls were about to be torn out of their bodies. The Red Water Formation was a blood-red ocean, with highly corrosive liquid rolling around, and any substance that touched it would melt without leaving a trace.

In the blazing array, flames rose into the sky like dragons, dyeing the entire sky red. Heat waves rolled as if to devour all living things.

Finally, a red sand array appeared, with red sand flying all over the sky, covering the sky and the sun. It was like the end of the world. Any creature trying to escape would be submerged in this endless sea of ​​sand.

The ten absolute formations were connected to each other and formed a huge formation system. It was not only the result of countless years of practice by the ten heavenly monarchs, but also a manifestation of their own practice.

In this world shrouded by formations, any living being felt unprecedented oppression and fear, as if the entire world had been controlled by these ten formations.

Qin Wan Tianjun stood in the center of the ten formations, his eyes like lightning, scanning everything inside and outside Chaoge City. His voice was like a drum, shaking the heaven and earth: "Kong Xuan, if you are really capable, dare to fight in my Ten Absolute Formations!"

Kong Xuan stood outside the formation, his eyes as deep as the sea. He did not respond immediately, but quietly observed the formation in front of him.

Each of the ten formations has its own unique features and responds to each other. They are extremely powerful. Even he dare not take it lightly.

Seeing that Kong Xuan was hesitant to speak, Qin Wan sneered, "What? Kong Xuan, aren't you very powerful? Are you frightened just like that?"

The surrounding soldiers and immortals held their breath, their eyes focused on Kong Xuan, waiting for his response.

Kong Xuan's eyes moved from one formation to another, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was calculating the trend and cracking method of each formation in his mind. However, his expression became more and more solemn, as if he realized something.

Qin Wan was even more pleased when he saw this, and his voice became more sarcastic: "Kong Xuan, if you are afraid, just say it directly. Why are you pretending here?"

Kong Xuan still did not respond. He finally turned his gaze away from the battle formation and looked at his subordinates. There was no panic or anger in his eyes, only a deep calm.

Finally, Kong Xuan slowly retreated. Although his movements were slow, they were extremely firm. He whispered to the generals around him: "Sound the horn to withdraw the troops."

The general heard the order and immediately waved the golden gong in his hand. The sound of the gong resounded through the sky and spread throughout the entire battlefield.

Seeing this, Qin Wan laughed out loud: "Haha, Kong Xuan, I knew you were just like that!"

However, there was still no change in expression on Kong Xuan's face. His figure slowly disappeared in the army, leaving only a contemplative back.

When the soldiers heard the sound of the golden gong, they stopped fighting and began to retreat.

On the battlefield outside Chaoge City, Qin Wan Tianjun and nine other Tianjuns stood in the air, looking at the direction where Kong Xuan left. Although they were proud in their hearts, they also felt a little uneasy.

Kong Xuan left so decisively!

It's as if there's already a way to deal with it.

Is there anyone in Chaoge City who can break their Ten Absolute Formations?
This is impossible!

Their Ten Absolute Formations are first-rate formations, and can be ranked among the best even among the Jie Religion, which is known for its formations.

It is also because of this that they were able to gain the reputation of the Ten Heavenly Lords of Jin'ao Island.

How could the Ten Absolute Formations that they had painstakingly spent countless years refining be broken so easily?
Thinking of this, Qin Wantianjun felt a little relieved.

He looked down at Chaoge City in the distance, his eyes swept over the defenders on the city wall, and his voice spread throughout the entire Chaoge City: "Soldiers in Chaoge City, why don't you surrender quickly! We have already set up our Ten Deadly Formations, and you will be trapped here and unable to escape. If you don't want to run out of ammunition and food, then surrender as soon as possible!"

On the city wall, Kong Xuan heard Qin Wan's shouting, but he just smiled faintly and said nothing more. He turned around and waved to the generals behind him, signaling them to continue defending the city and not to pay attention to Qin Wan's threats.

Zhang Kui and his wife were worried. They stood beside Kong Xuan and whispered to him, "Marshal, once the Ten Absolute Formations are deployed, Chaoge City will be trapped and the food and grass outside the city will not be able to be transported into the city. I'm afraid we will be in trouble."

Kong Xuan nodded slightly, indicating that he had considered this, but his eyes remained firm and he seemed unwavering.

At this time, Li Jing walked out of the crowd, patted Zhang Kui on the shoulder, and said firmly: "Don't worry, General Zhang, we have the support of Yang's business, the treasury is full, and the food reserves are abundant, which is enough to support a long-term siege."

Li Jing's words made Zhang Kui and his wife feel a little relieved. They knew the influence of the Yang family business in the business world. If they had their support, at least there would not be too many problems with supplies.

When the people and soldiers in the city heard Li Jing's words, they all showed looks of hope.

When Qin Wantianjun saw that there was no sign of wavering in the city, his face changed slightly. He knew that words alone could not shake the determination of the people in Chaoge City.

He snorted coldly, turned to the other Heavenly Lords and said, "Since they don't know how to handle current affairs, let's surround them for ten years first!"

The ten Heavenly Lords each nodded and strengthened their control over the formation, making the Ten Absolute Formations even more powerful. They surrounded the Chaoge City and filled the space between heaven and earth with an oppressive atmosphere.

In Chaoge City, Kong Xuan stood on the city wall, looking down at the enemy outside the city with a sharp gaze. He knew that the siege had just begun, but he had a plan in mind. When the time was right, he would defeat the enemy in one fell swoop and restore the glory of Chaoge.

As night fell, the lights in Chaoge City were brilliant, as if it was a city that never sleeps. Kong Xuan walked through the bustling streets and arrived at the gate of Yang Mansion.

When the doorman saw that it was the Marshal himself, he hurriedly and respectfully passed the news in. Not long after, Yang Ling came out in person to greet him.

"Marshal, thank you for visiting my humble abode at night. What brings you here?" Yang Ling smiled and invited Kong Xuan into the mansion.

Kong Xuan nodded and followed Yang Ling across the courtyard to the study.

The fragrance of books filled the study room. After the two of them sat down, Yang Ling asked, "I wonder what advice you have for me, Marshal?"

Kong Xuan was silent for a moment, then looked directly into Yang Ling's eyes and said firmly, "Brother Yang, I came here this time to ask for your help in breaking the Ten Absolute Formations."

Hearing this, Yang Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing a hint of curiosity: "The Ten Absolute Formations are indeed powerful, but with the Marshal's magical powers, he should not be helpless.

Is there something hidden?"

Kong Xuan sighed and shook his head: "To be honest with you, Brother Yang, although I have some experience in Taoism, I know nothing about the art of formation. The Ten Absolute Formations are extremely powerful and must be broken at the same time. Although I can break one or two formations by force, I am powerless to break them all at once."

Hearing this, Yang Ling's eyes flashed with a gleam of thought, and then he nodded: "If that's the case, then I will do my best. However, I need to know the details of the arrangement of the Ten Absolute Formations and the characteristics of each formation."

Kong Xuan immediately took out a piece of exquisite parchment from his arms, on which was drawn the layout of the Ten Absolute Formations, and handed it to Yang Ling: "This is the formation diagram I obtained after careful investigation, Brother Yang, you must study it carefully."

Yang Ling took the parchment, looked at it carefully, and nodded from time to time, as if he had already thought of a way to crack it in his mind.

After a long while, he raised his head and said to Kong Xuan: "Marshal, rest assured, although the Ten Absolute Formations are difficult, they are not unsolvable. I need some time to prepare, and I will give you an answer in a few days."

When Kong Xuan heard this, a relaxed smile appeared on his face: "I feel relieved that Brother Yang is here to help. Then I will wait for good news from Brother Yang in the city."

The two talked for a while, and Kong Xuan said goodbye and left, returning to his own residence. He knew that Yang Ling was very talented, and with his help, breaking the Ten Absolute Formations should be just around the corner.

Yang Ling actually didn't take the Ten Absolute Formations seriously.

He was very confident in breaking the formation, but he didn't necessarily show it fully in front of Kong Xuan, an outsider.

When it is time to hide your shortcomings, you still have to hide a few tricks.

Yang Ling had just seen Kong Xuan off when there was another knock on the door in the night.

He smiled slightly, knowing that the people who came to visit at this time must be those familiar people. As expected, the voices of Li Jing and his wife came from outside the door.

"Brother Yang, it's late at night and we're sorry to bother you." Li Jing's voice came through the door with a hint of apology.

Yang Ling walked quickly to the door and personally invited the two in: "It's no big deal, please come in."

After entering the study, Li Jing and his wife both had worried looks on their faces.

Li Jing asked bluntly: "Brother Yang, today we saw the Ten Absolute Formation outside the city. Do you have a way to break it?"

Yang Ling smiled slightly, motioned for the two to sit down on the chairs, and said gently: "Please be patient for now. Although the Ten Absolute Formations are difficult, they are not unsolvable. I have some ideas. It only takes some time to prepare, and I will be able to find a way to break the formation."

After hearing these words, Li Jing and his wife finally showed expressions of relief on their faces.

Yin Shiniang smiled and said, "I said that with Brother Yang here, we don't have to worry at all. Brother Yang has great magical powers, nothing can stump him."

Li Jing nodded repeatedly and continued, "By the way, Brother Yang, when the two armies confronted each other during the day, Yang Jian performed outstandingly. He not only saved us, but also defeated three Heavenly Monarchs in succession!"

When Yang Ling heard about his son's deeds, a hint of pride flashed in his eyes, and he nodded and thanked him: "Thank you for the compliment. I let him go into battle mainly for training. I also have to thank you for giving him the opportunity to fight."

Li Jing waved his hand and said, "Yang Jian's achievements today are all due to his own hard work and courage."

After the two talked for a while, Li Jing and his wife said goodbye and left.

Yang Ling saw them out the door, then returned to the study, sat alone at the table, unfolded the parchment, and began to ponder.

The next morning, as the morning glow had just appeared in the sky, Yang Jian returned home. After a night of rest, he looked particularly energetic, and his armor shone silver in the morning light. He pushed open the door and walked into the yard lightly, fearing to wake up his parents who were still sleeping.

However, Yang Ling had already been waiting for him in the study. Hearing the noise, Yang Ling walked out of the study, looking at Yang Jian with a gentle gaze, his face full of relief.

"Father." Yang Jian stepped forward and greeted him with a respectful look.

"Jian'er, you performed very well yesterday." Yang Ling praised him generously and then led him into the study.

In the study, Yang Ling took out a jade slip that was glowing with a faint light and handed it to Yang Jian: "This is the secret of the word 'group', which is specifically designed to crack various formations.

Although you are good at fighting, if you can master one or two skills, you will be more at ease when dealing with formations."

Yang Jian took the jade slip, immersed his soul into it and looked through it. He saw countless complicated array symbols and solutions recorded in it, which made people dizzy at the first sight.

He looked up at his father, a trace of confusion in his eyes: "Father, I really have no interest in these things, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to understand them thoroughly."

Yang Ling was not angry, but smiled faintly: "It doesn't matter, you have your strengths, don't force it. However, you should take this jade slip first, maybe it will be useful someday."

Yang Jian nodded and put away the jade slip. Although he was not interested in the art of formation, he was grateful for his father's kindness.
