Chapter 344: Chapter 340: Breaking the Formation
Each Buddhist hand seal was replete with radiating circles of light, containing a vibrant and bright surge of mana. With a menacing force, it rushed towards the demon wind in the center, creating distortive waves in the void itself.
The demon wind changed color immediately upon seeing this.
Its hands quickly melded together, and the bloody light that had been spreading from its body quickly retracted. The light then formed a giant semi-transparent blood cocoon, encapsulating itself within.
“Boom boom boom”
The six Buddhist seals relentlessly hammered down on the blood cocoon, creating a sound akin to rolling thunder. The cocoon immediately reverberated with a bloody light, like waves of blood surging upwards, counteracting the six seals.
The six ethereal Buddha statues stood firm and still, but the six Buddhist beads between their eyebrows vibrated incessantly. Bai Xiaoyun, who had hovered in mid-air, had already put away his tin staff. As he continued forming his hand seals, his body vibrated in the same way as the Buddhist beads.
Clearly, suppressing the demon wind was not an easy feat.
However, because he forced the demon wind to retract its bloody light, trapping it within the blood cocoon, the ordinary people who had been enveloped in the bloody illusion regained their consciousness.
Nevertheless, they were panic-stricken and spiritually exhausted, showing signs of total disorientation and incessant confusion.
“Heh heh, don’t think that by capturing me, you can protect those mortals. They’re all doomed!” Even though the demon wind was bound within the bloody cocoon, it showed no fear. Instead, it issued a loud command.
As soon as it finished speaking, the corpses that were once the people of Jianmen Pass, as if receiving an order, attacked all at once.
At the same time, seven pillars of light lit up on the city wall, and one by one, phantom sword shadows zoomed down, specifically targeting the people of Jianye City.
For a moment, blood was everywhere, and cries of grief soared high.
Hordes of people were mowed down by the sword light, blood splattered all over. The strong smell of blood further stimulated the corpses within the city, inciting them to charge even more ferociously at the people of Jianye City.
Shen Luo, who had devoted himself to resuscitating other monks, had returned to the city gate upon witnessing people regaining consciousness. Upon seeing Lu Yong still struggling to break open the city gate, he was speechless.
“The city wall is already reinforced with a magic array, complete with the sword array on the wall itself, forming a unified system of attack and defense. It is futile to try and break it down from here. Guard the people inside the city. Let me go disrupt the magic array first.” Shen Luo warned everyone before turning around and heading for the city wall.
“Elder, don’t worry. Leave this place to us.” Shen Yu immediately nodded her head in agreement.
Thanks to Shen Luo’s previous advice, no one from the Shen family had perished, which was a sheer stroke of luck compared to the other refugees. Her trust and admiration for Shen Luo had now reached unmeasurable heights.
Bai Bi also admired Shen Luo’s calm and collected demeanor in times of crisis.
Lu Yong glanced at Shen Luo’s retreating figure and his eyes flickered twice.
Upon exiting the city gate, Shen Luo gently tapped on the ground, propelling himself into the air, heading straight for the city wall.
However, just as his head peeped over the city wall, he heard a “Whoosh” sound. Instantly turning his head, a white sword light brushed past his neck, tearing the fabric of his robe on his shoulder.
Shen Luo continued forward, slung himself over the city wall with a swift motion of his palm, and landed on the pathway where the wall guards patrolled.
Glancing around, he noticed seven brilliant columns each rotating in place, continuously producing light swords. After hovering momentarily mid-air, they regularly descended into the city.
Regarding the matter of the array, Shen Luo had not delved too much into it and initially did not know where the array pivot was located.
However, he recalled that the demon wind had been pretending to repair the sword array at the corner of the City Wall earlier, so he immediately rushed over.
There were corpses stationed on the City Wall. As soon as they saw Shen Luo rush to the top of the wall, they all attacked him immediately.
Shen Luo had no intention of engaging in battle, he directly used the Slanting Moon Steps, and his figure flashed continuously like a phantom on the City Wall. He not only dodged all the corpses, but also prevented any flying sword from approaching him. He arrived at the corner of the city wall where the sword array was located.
With a glance, he saw within the range of the light column, a round stone platform about three feet high. On the four directions of the top – east, south, west, and north – were carved mysterious round charm patterns. Each was inlaid with a piece of extremely high-quality immortal jade, in which various lights circulated, and the spiritual energy contained within continuously dissipated.
In the center of the stone platform, there was a sword-shaped depression filled with flowing light. These swords of light were continuously condensed within it.
“Whether it’s the array pivot or not, first destroy it.” Shen Luo said to himself, he twisted his wrist and took out the Half-moon ring.
He swung with one hand, and the Half-moon ring lit up, spinning in mid-air and directly hitting the stone platform.
There was a “bang” sound!
There was a flash of light on the stone platform and it began to shake violently. The light pillar also wobbled from side to side, the light in the sword-shaped depression dimmed, stopping the condensation of the swords of light.
Seeing this, Shen Luo turned his head to look at the other side, and saw that the Sword light had also stopped.
He was delighted, called back the Half-moon ring, planning to use it again to completely destroy the platform, but an unexpected change occurred.
He saw the light of the seven platforms flash suddenly, and within the light pillar that had just stopped, sword lights rose again. One after another, the swords of light quickly shot out, but instead of shooting at the Lower Frontier like before, they gathered in mid-air to form a river of flying swords, rushing towards Shen Luo on the City Wall.
Seeing this, Shen Luo retreated several steps, waved his hand, and the Half-moon ring shot out from his hand. It shined in the void with silver blades, like the light and shadow of incomplete moons, colliding with the river of swords.
The sound of metal and stone collision kept ringing, and sword lights and moon shadows shattered at the same time, turning into patches of stardust.
Shen Luo’s eyes narrowed, the Huangting Technique within him turned, and he clenched his fist, leaning down to punch the light pillar-encased round stone platform.

A deafening “boom” sounded.
Shen Luo’s punch broke through the light pillar, and when his hand entered, it changed from a fist to a palm, with his five fingers gripping one of the immortal jade pieces embedded in it. With a strong pull, he took it out.
Once an immortal jade was removed, the balance of the stone platform sword array was disrupted. The light flickered a few times and then completely dimmed and disappeared.
In mid-air, the sword array also contracted its light, and one by one, the swords of light continuously disappeared.
Seeing this, Shen Luo, while seizing the opportunity, plucked the other three pieces of immortal jade and put them all into his sleeve. After standing upright, with a punch, he knocked down a corpse that had chased in front of him off the City Wall and rushed towards another sword array again.
As before, he broke the remaining sword array platforms one after the other and plucked out all the jade pieces embedded in them.
However, at this moment, Shen Luo suddenly sensed the sound of turbulence from Outside the City. He quickly turned his head to look outside the city, only to see a black dust spanning hundreds of feet, like a line of tide, rolling from a distance.
