Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 113 Breaking the Formation
Listening to the sudden and loud noise in the market, the old man was not panicked at all, but sneered,

"Hmph! You, the dignified leader of the Mountain Alliance and a Foundation Establishment cultivator... Xu Pingyang, are so distorting the truth and slandering me!"

"It's obvious that you're jealous of the profits of our market, and you're envious of Dengyun Market getting a share of the profits from Sanhui Market. That's why you sent people to disguise as robber cultivators, lurking around the market and killing many independent cultivators, trying to win back the customer flow..."

"Now you are actually blaming our law-abiding family for your actions. How shameless!"

"You are unworthy of being the leader of an alliance!"

The old man was scolding the foundation-building cultivator at the ninth level of Qi training, but he was not at all panicked. Instead, he was full of energy.

After venting like this, this life is really worth it!

And his words did play some role.

The independent cultivators who were originally suspicious of each other in the market and even hated the shops that managed Dengyun Market suddenly fell into confusion.

It is difficult for them to tell who is telling the truth.

But at this point, it was enough to make them suspicious of the group headed by Xu Pingyang outside, so that they dared not act rashly.

This will prevent everyone from causing chaos in the market right away and disrupting the formation.

"You old thing are quite good at talking..."

Xu Pingyang's face was gloomy. "Wait until I break this formation and capture you. I want to see if you still have the courage to do this!"

"Break the formation? That guy surnamed Li doesn't even dare to come here, how can you break it?!"

"Even if you are at the foundation building stage, if you want to break my formation, you have to suffer first!"

In the main hall guarding the fortress, Tu Zhi sneered and activated the formation with all his strength.

The forbidden formation was activated, and suddenly the light curtain covering the market town became extremely condensed. Even if a person who had established his foundation used a top-grade magic weapon, he would not be able to break it easily.

The protective effect has reached its limit!

The old man in the formation immediately showed a proud smile, and was even more fearless!

Seeing this scene, Xu Pingyang's face became even gloomier.

The spiritual consciousness that had been sent out long ago quickly locked onto the many loopholes in the operation of the formation according to the diagram given by Li Ye.

Then he raised his hand and threw it, and a talisman with flashing silver seal characters shot out.

He went straight to the biggest loophole in the diagram he found!
"Humph!"

Seeing this scene, Tu Zhiyong's sneer became even wider, and even showed a bit of contempt.

"A first-level forbidden-breaking talisman is no longer effective against my formation. Even if it can affect the operation of the nodes, I can repair it in a moment. This is the only way to build a foundation..."

"Hahaha! Brother Tu's methods are beyond the reach of ordinary people. Xu Pingyang is so arrogant, I'm sure he'll be surprised next!"

"If you can use the formation to defeat Xu Pingyang, you will become very famous!"

Seeing how confident he was, other family disciples also followed suit and flattered him.

Tu Zhiyong's expression became more and more arrogant.

boom!
However, at this moment, the talisman emitted a silver light, and its full effectiveness was exerted the moment it came into contact with the formation, skillfully breaking a certain point in the formation.

Then, as the power of the talisman continued to be released, the collapse of the formation node seemed to trigger a chain reaction, directly causing problems in multiple nodes of the formation.

But in just a moment, the formation that had just condensed its amazing defensive power was shattered!

The speed is unbelievable!
"This... this is impossible! I've clearly perfected this formation to a level beyond the first level. How could Xu Pingyang find a loophole in it?!"

Tu Zhi's eyes almost popped out of his head, and all the pride and confidence he had just shown collapsed in an instant.

He was full of disbelief and roared as if he had lost his mind.

He simply couldn't believe that the formation that condensed his hard work and was the absolute essence of his current attainments in the art of formations could be broken so easily!

"What's going on? Zhiyong! Why was the formation suddenly broken by a first-level forbidden talisman?!"

"Quickly regroup and don't let them break in!"

In the hall, the group of people who had just flattered him were now as flustered as ants on a hot pan. They could only talk and urge him on.

Tu Zhiyong had no intention of paying attention to them anymore. Shock remained on his face. He frantically tried to reactivate the formation with the flag in his hand to resist the attack.

But it's no use!

The formation that he was so proud of was completely collapsed and paralyzed in the chain collapse of the formation ban just now. Many formation tools were destroyed and there was no connection between them, so there was no way to reopen the formation!
The effect of a ban-breaking talisman can only hinder the operation of the same-level formation, causing loopholes or cessation of operation for a short period of time.

It would never cause such damage that the entire formation would collapse!

But Xu Pingyang just did it...

It was not until today that Tu Zhiyong realized that the formation he had carefully crafted had such a huge flaw!
Unable to save the situation, Tu Zhiyong slumped to the ground, muttering,

"Who... who saw through it... could it be Li Ye... or another foreign formation master..."

This single blow seemed to have shattered his faith.

When the cultivators from other families saw him like this, they knew there was no hope, so they ignored him and scattered like birds and beasts, except for the Tu family.

……

The old man, who had a confident smile on his face just a moment ago, watched the formation collapse in an instant and the thick light curtain quickly dissipate. The expression on his face suddenly changed from confusion to horror, and he turned around and fled.

But this man had yelled at him like that before, how could Xu Pingyang let him escape?

"Charge in, kill every disciple of this clan without a single survivor, and clear out the robbery den! Avenge our fellows who died at the hands of these thieves!"

He shouted loudly and rushed in wrapped in spiritual light.

With a flick of his sleeves, a top-grade long sword flew out and hit the old man's back.

Swah——

clang!
A golden ring flew from nowhere and collided with the long sword, knocking it away.

Xu Pingyang's eyes fixed, and he no longer paid attention to the old man, but looked directly in the direction where the golden ring flew back.

"As expected... Chang Zhixin, you have indeed broken through to the foundation-building stage!"

He was shrouded in spiritual light, with his sword circling, but he spoke calmly to the newcomer.

The man had gray-black hair and a slightly round face, looking only middle-aged, but he had a peaceful demeanor.

Chang Zhixin had a smile on his face.

"Otherwise, how could we, who are barely surviving under your hands, dare to challenge you?"

He was facing Xu Pingyang from a distance, and he felt a little regretful.

"The only thing I didn't expect was that you had such patience that you couldn't help but take action until now, and even destroyed this formation with a first-level forbidden-breaking talisman... I've lost a bit of help!"

"No one in Pingyang Mountain can do this. It seems that Li Ye did it, right?"

"So what!"

Xu Pingyang snorted coldly, "The resources in these red lands and mountains are limited. It's already difficult to support me alone... I have no intention of sharing with others!"

"Don't say I didn't give you a choice... Either you die here today, or you leave with the family fortune!"

Hearing this, Chang Zhixin's smile widened.

"What if I choose to let you die?"

Swah——

Suddenly, another ray of spiritual light flew over, also emitting the aura of foundation building.

Luo family, Luo Yuping!

He and Chang Zhixin were on the left and right, but they suddenly sandwiched Xu Pingyang in the middle!
Xu Pingyang's eyes moved between them once or twice, and he laughed in anger.

"Alright, alright! If you guys are really scheming, then I will take care of both of you today!"
