I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

Chapter 1873 - 1866: Call for Reinforcements

"Do you think a small formation can trap me?" Mo Tianye sneered. After breaking through to the fifth-grade Dao Realm, his body immediately returned to its peak state. The surging power within made him extraordinarily confident, as if no matter what problem lay before him, it was no longer a challenge.

He’s seen many formations before, but in his understanding, a formation’s power is always closely related to the strength of the Array Master. Even the strongest formation is hard to exert its power in the hands of a mediocre Array Master.

This was evident from the axe Zhang Menglong had just used. If Zhang Menglong was more powerful and could fully unleash the axe’s strength, Mo Tianye might not have been merely hacked off an arm, but utterly obliterated.

This is the result of trying to wield powerful weapons without enough strength. The same goes for formations. If there’s a significant disparity between the level of the formation and the Array Master’s power, the Array Master could suffer severe backlash.

In his view, Zhang Menglong could barely utilize near-Dao Realm combat power with his first-grade Divine Cultivator state. Even with a formation, they were incomparable to him. How could a mere formation possibly trap him?

"Why don’t you try and see if it can trap you?" Zhang Menglong retreated a few steps, gesturing for him to act, "Go ahead and break my formation. No need to spare my face!"

Actually, everyone had noticed earlier that Zhang Menglong was scribbling on the ground while they were urinating. Who would have thought he was setting up a formation?

But Zhang Menglong’s actions were so casual that, though everyone present had some knowledge and had seen formations being set up before, it looked more like doodling than setting up a formation!

Even if it is a formation, how advanced could it be?

"Brothers, doesn’t this seem unreliable to you?"

"Say no more. I saw the Clan Leader munching on a banana while doing this. I thought he was just doodling. How could this formation have any power?"

"You can’t underestimate him. Our Clan Leader has a knack for formations. Remember the one he set up in the Ancient Cave Heaven? Just that one formation intimidated an entire city!"

"I know, but that formation was clearly planned out over a long time. Who’s ever heard of setting one up by casually scribbling? Wouldn’t everyone be an Array Master then?"

"How about we get ready to escape just in case?"

...

Clearly, everyone had little faith in Zhang Menglong’s ’doodling’.

"Hmph, just a child’s doodle!" Mo Tianye sneered at the formation glowing red on the ground and walked towards its edge.

The formation had a diameter of barely ten meters. Mo Tianye’s aura was like a sharp sword, intending to cleave the formation apart.

However, to his surprise, his aura couldn’t break through the formation directly. He even faintly felt that the formation’s strength matched his own momentum.

"Elder Mo, seriously? You think you can break my formation with just your aura? Do you think I’m that useless?" Zhang Menglong raised a middle finger at him.

"Don’t get too cocky!" Mo Tianye knew Zhang Menglong was trying to provoke him.

If it weren’t for the humiliation he just suffered, he might have already exploded in anger. But the past experiences only served to keep his mind calm and composed.

"Could it be that an Elder like you would be trapped by a formation I randomly set up?" Mo Tianye said, "Having broken through to the fifth-grade Dao Realm, I’m at a Venerable Realm. Do you know the difference between a Venerable Realm and a regular Dao Realm?"

"I don’t know," Zhang Menglong shook his head, "but I do know you got pissed on!"

Laughter erupted among the crowd.

Mo Tianye’s face darkened, "I’ll crush all your bones!"

"Oh, but you got pissed on!"

"You think that angers me?"

"You have a good attitude, but you still got pissed on!"

...

Zhang Menglong’s repeated comments made Mo Tianye’s expression increasingly ugly, until he was on the verge of exploding.

He extended both hands, and two Illusory Swords materialized in his palms, formed from the purest Dao Realm energies; Mo Tianye seemed to be a master of swordsmanship!

The two swords merged into one, seemingly combining two opposing forces, and somehow it even had a hint of the Buddha’s Fury Lotus.

"You actually possess two Divine Veins?" Zhang Menglong was a bit surprised. This Mo Tianye had some talent. Though only one vein was successfully activated, he could still utilize the energy, and the two opposing energy attributes combined to create formidable power.

"Break it for me!"

Mo Tianye shot the Illusory Sword, piercing fiercely at the edge of the formation. The red glow on the ground became more pronounced as if the attack triggered even more powerful energy.

The Illusory Sword rotated rapidly, and a creaking friction sound came from within the formation.

"Is it going to break?"

"No joke, such enormous power could take down a Dao Realm expert in seconds. Could it not break?"

"It’s lasted over ten seconds. This formation isn’t weak; it’s just that the opponent is too strong."

While everyone was still chattering, something bizarre happened. Mo Tianye’s pupils suddenly contracted, and a mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth. His attack disintegrated in an instant.

Clutching his chest, he didn’t even know what happened. It felt like a sharp sword had pierced through his chest, as if he had struck himself, but how was that possible?

"So, what do you think of my amazing formation?" Zhang Menglong asked, "This formation is kind of a chicken rib, but sometimes its power is surprisingly delightful."

"What formation is this?"

"Myriad Evil Same-Life Array," Zhang Menglong explained, "The power of this formation doesn’t come from any external object but is drawn from a person’s spirit, life, and energy. I used your own life and energy. No matter how powerful you get, my formation will always match your strength. The stronger you are, the stronger the formation becomes."

"Also, any attack you unleash on the formation will reflect on your life. So attacking the formation is akin to attacking yourself."

"What kind of sinister formation is this?" Mo Tianye was immediately filled with panic upon hearing Zhang Menglong’s description.

Could his attack’s power surpass his energy limit? Clearly not! So, he could never break this formation, and the more reckless he became, the more harm he suffered. This formation was a total bug!

"The formation does have a downside: the opponent must be unable to resist during setup. Normally, it’s really hard to set up. Would you say this formation wasn’t made just for you?"

"You’re despicable and shameless!" At this point, all Mo Tianye could do was curse.

"Heh, thanks for the exaggeration!" Zhang Menglong shrugged, "Just stay put here quietly. I have some urgent matters to attend to. After I take down the Divine Profound Hall, I’ll deal with you!"

"Clan Leader, the people over the communicator said they’ve sent eighty thousand Elders to surround and kill us. What should we do?" Everyone grew worried about the upcoming threat.

"What are you scared of?" Zhang Menglong smiled, "Find reinforcements!"
