Zongwu: Aspiring to be the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 294 Azure Snow Ice Armor, Military Formation Drill
"What? That treasure... he actually has a second one!"

Everyone was stunned when they saw the second Celestial Crystal appear in Kunsha's hand.

Such a rare treasure, so rare in the world, and the other party actually has a second one?

In fact, this is because they are out of the loop.

After the appearance of the Heavenly Crystal, many ancient forces have conducted special investigations into the relevant ancient books and have realized that there are a total of ten such things in the world.

Unfortunately, neither the Western Demonic Sect nor the Rakshasa Sect, compared to those truly ancient forces, were ultimately too shallow in their foundations. They had no idea that Heavenly Crystals existed, let alone that there were ten of these treasures!

So when they saw Kunsha take out the second Heavenly Crystal, everyone was stunned.

Especially the Jade Heavenly Treasure.

Everyone else committed the sin of arrogance, treating Kunsa as just a lucky kid, while he alone studied the relevant intelligence and knew that Kunsa was a cunning and shrewd fellow despite his young age.

When he saw the second Celestial Crystal appear in Kunsha's hand, he realized they might have fallen into a trap.

It's highly likely that allowing the Archangel to steal the previous treasure was part of Kunsa's scheme.

This kind of treasure is clearly not something that can be used casually. Even if they get their hands on it, they won't be able to use it for a while, and it's even possible that they won't be able to use it for their entire lives unless they find a suitable way to use it.

However, this object can be used to lure them all out, thus catching them all in one fell swoop.

No wonder I felt something was off; it turns out this matter was progressing too smoothly.

Unfortunately, I hadn't thought of this at all before, and now that I have, it's too late.

"Uncle Jiade, let's run!"

Yu Tianbao hurriedly shouted, but in the next instant, a chilling aura transformed into a biting wind and came from ahead.

Golden light leaped out from the city gate, intertwined with azure radiance, shining in the night sky, and then transformed into a suit of armor, which was draped over Kunsha's body.

The armor's design didn't seem to differ much from the previous White Cloud Smoke armor, except that the surface color had changed from the white of White Cloud Smoke to azure blue, faintly emitting a white hue, like a piece of pure ice.

The edges and corners are more distinct and hard.

At first glance, it looks like a warrior sculpted from ice.

A biting wind swept in, carrying with it the faint scent of snowflakes.

Everyone present possessed the strength of a grandmaster, yet at this moment they felt a chilling coldness, as if their bodies had become somewhat sluggish.

"Want to be a cult leader? Ha! Why don't you take a good look in the mirror and see what you really look like?"

Kunsha sneered, "Since none of you have any self-awareness, I'll give you a hand!"

Magic Mirror Ice Palace!

An endless chill emanated from the sky, condensing into solid ice blocks that then fell straight down, clearly intended to trap everyone within their embrace.

These solid ice formations covered an extremely wide area, nearly a hundred meters in length, and moved at an incredibly fast speed.

Even a second-level Grandmaster could not escape from the area covered by the solid ice at this speed.

However, because Yu Tianbao reacted the fastest and called Jiade to escape in advance, the two were now the furthest away from Kunsha.

With the solid ice falling from the sky, it was impossible for the two of them to escape at their current speed.

A resolute look appeared in Jia De's eyes, and his inner energy surged and gathered in his palm.

"Young Master! Take care!"

Suddenly, he struck Yu Tianbao with a palm.

Yu Tianbao felt a violent force slam into him, the wind whistling in his ears, and he was blasted away, crashing to the ground more than ten meters away.

boom!
The next instant, the solid ice fell to the ground, trapping everyone except him inside.

These differently shaped blocks of ice, like various modules, automatically assembled after landing to form an ice palace.

You can vaguely see human figures inside.

“Uncle Jiade…”

Yu Tianbao forced himself to stand up. Even the pain from the broken bones couldn't compare to the agony in his heart at that moment.

Compared to Jade Rakshasa, his biological father, who had always been by his side, carefully nurturing and educating him, and helping him in everything, Jade was, to him, a true father.

He was furious when he heard the news of Jade Rakshasa's death.

But this anger stemmed less from his father's death and more from the shattering of his ambitions.

After all, according to Yu Luosha's plan, if everything goes smoothly, the Rakshasa Sect will annex the Western Demonic Sect and become the sole overlord of the Western Regions.

As the son of Yu Luosha, he was naturally the sole heir to the Western Regions' overlordship.

But at this moment, realizing that Jia De was about to die, he was instantly overwhelmed with immense grief.

It broke our hearts.

It hurts so much that I can't breathe.

He did not run away.

It wasn't that he was attached to this place and unwilling to leave, but rather that he understood very well that he couldn't escape at all.

Kunsha, who possesses a treasure, can even kill the Jade Rakshasa who has achieved the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, let alone someone like him who has reached the Innate Perfection stage.

Jia De might have thought of this as well, but in that instant, he still chose to push Yu Tianbao out to fulfill his loyalty.

A chilling aura emanated from behind.

Yu Tianbao realized that the enemy had appeared behind him.

This was an extremely dangerous situation in battle, but he had completely given up resisting.

"Do you know how much Jade Rakshasa paid for me to let you go?"

"I...I know a little..."

Yu Tianbao also knew the secrets of the Rakshasa Army and the Rakshasa talisman very well.

When he saw that Kunsha had completely taken control of the Rakshasa army, he realized that Jade Rakshasa must have told him everything before she died.

He initially found it difficult to understand, but gradually came to grasp it.

"Although I am not a good person, I have always kept my promises. If you obediently disappear, you may still be able to save your life."

"Heh, keeping your promise? Is it because I'm not a threat?"

Yu Tianbao directly exposed Kunsha's lie, but then forced an ugly smile: "However, perhaps you are right, I should indeed obediently disappear..."

Kunsha patted his shoulder, and an extremely cold aura poured directly into Yu Tianbao's body, turning him into an ice sculpture.

It then shattered, turning into blood-red ice shards.

Inside the Magic Mirror Ice Palace, layer upon layer of ice mirrors reflected countless shadows, trapping everyone within this labyrinthine maze, with no way to escape.

A chilling aura enveloped the area, making everyone's movements stiff.

"That Jia De was loyal enough to be killed. As for the others... use them for training."

Kunsha said.

In the next instant, countless ice spikes pierced through Garde.

The blood froze completely before it could flow out.

At the same time, an entrance quietly opened on either side of the Ice Palace, and the surrounding Rakshasa army, under Ai's control, entered the Ice Palace to fight the experts. The so-called training wasn't really training the soldiers, but rather Ai herself.

Over this period of development, Zhou Ming's personal space has accumulated countless treasures, including secret formations passed down by various sects.

Examples include the Quanzhen School's Tiangang Beidou Formation, the Wudang School's Zhenwu Seven-Section Formation, and the Shaolin Temple's Vajra Subduing Demon Circle.

Especially at Shaolin Temple, besides formations like the Vajra Subduing Demon Circle that require a small number of experts to execute, there are also some relatively simple formations with equally great power.

For example, the Eighteen Arhats Formation, or the One Hundred and Eight Great Arhats Formation.

These formations are often specifically designed to deal with martial arts masters, especially the 108 Arhats Formation of Shaolin Temple. It is said that only Shaolin disciples at the acquired level are needed to form a formation that can fight against grandmasters or even second-level grandmasters. The ingenuity of this formation is unparalleled in the world.

This formation is far more important to the sect than the Vajra Subduing Demon Circle.

After all, the Vajra Subduing Demon Circle can only be formed by three people, but all three people must be experts to unleash its immense power.

The 108 Arhats Formation requires the most people, but it does not have high requirements for the participants' cultivation level.

The Vajra Subduing Demon Circle can only make Shaolin famous for a short time, but the 108 Arhats Formation can ensure that Shaolin's glory is passed down from generation to generation.

According to rumors, Shaolin Temple also possesses a formation that requires more than a thousand people to assemble.

Unfortunately, it hasn't reappeared for who knows how many years.

Zhou Ming has left his mark in Shaolin Temples in various countries, so he should be able to find it if it exists.

It seems that the technique has been lost.

They are either hidden in a top-secret place that almost no one knows about, or that only one or two people know about.

However, regardless of the circumstances, a formation with so many participants, even if it still exists, would likely no longer be able to be publicly displayed.

More than a thousand people, each of them practicing martial arts, training and cooperating with each other to form formations... If any country's Shaolin Temple had such a foundation, the emperor of that country would probably feel uneasy.

After all, the number of elite troops in each country is usually only around a thousand.

Therefore, the most numerous formation in the martial arts world is the Arhat Formation of 108 people from Shaolin Temple.

Compared to the experts, this number is still too small.

Therefore, for a large formation to unleash its full power, it often requires extremely close cooperation among the participants.

During the rotation of the formation, flexibility is often extremely important.

In contrast, the elite troops of various countries, specifically designed to deal with martial arts masters, can easily exceed a thousand people. Therefore, they place greater emphasis on collective action, and a small squad can easily consist of dozens or even hundreds of people.

The Rakshasa Army originally followed this path.

After all, Jade Rakshasa could only control the entire Rakshasa army through the Rakshasa Token. If he didn't take this route, there was no other way for him to take it.

After Zhou Ming took over the Rakshasa Army, he was able to precisely control the strength of each Rakshasa soldier by placing a mark on each of them and having Ai control them.

This gives the Rakshasa Army the advantage of having both elite troops from various countries and the formations of major martial arts sects.

Number of people.

flexibility.

Their seamless teamwork is enough to defeat any other combination in the world.

After all, it's Ai who controls them.

In this way, whether they follow the route of elite troops from various countries or the route of martial arts sects, it would be a waste for the Rakshasa Army.

Therefore, combining the advantages of both to create a unique fighting style for the Rakshasa Army was the new task Zhou Ming assigned to Xiao Ai.

Now is the perfect time to use these people, like the Angels of Luo, as subjects for an experiment.

The interlocking ice mirrors inside the ice palace slowly moved away, forming a wide plaza. Everyone else was isolated, except for the Angel of Luo, who remained in place.

Soldiers from both sides surged into the ice palace in an orderly fashion, and suddenly attacked the Angel of Luo.

The angel Luo was stunned, not understanding what the other party wanted to do, but he was currently in the Ice Palace and had no way to escape. What else could he do but fight?
But he soon realized something was wrong.

As a second-level master who had lived for many years, Luo Tianshi was very knowledgeable and could clearly realize that the Rakshasa army was practicing a formation.

After all, they had been confronting the Western evil cult for many years.

The Western Demonic Cult has a deep foundation and some of its formation techniques still exist.

However, even though the Western Demonic Sect's formation only involved a few people.

The formation that the Rakshasa army is now displaying is the result of hundreds of people working together.

But these hundreds of people seemed to be one person.

No matter what we do, we always have perfect teamwork.

Internal energy, or true qi, has a function that allows it to be transferred into other people's bodies and temporarily used by them.

This is also the foundation upon which all martial arts sects' formations exist.

Otherwise, let alone 108 acquired martial artists, even 10,008 acquired martial artists would not be able to break through the Grandmaster's protective qi defense.

Only through the transmission and infusion of true qi can the warriors charging at the front possess the power of the entire formation, thereby causing damage to the stronger ones.

At the same time, it is precisely because of this function that the formation can withstand attacks from powerful individuals.

However, this transmission process involves a loss rate.

Internal skills from the same sect share some common properties, which reduces the rate of damage.

Therefore, even with the same formation and the same level of coordination, a formation formed by disciples of sects like Wudang and Shaolin is more powerful than a formation formed by wandering martial artists.

The angel Luo was not ignorant; he quickly realized that the Rakshasa army was practicing a formation.

Two words immediately came to mind.

Training!

"die!"

The angel was furious.

He had actually prepared himself for death, but he still felt humiliated by the current situation.

He immediately unleashed two powerful palm strikes, but the surging palm force was blocked and disintegrated by the boundless true energy of the entire army, which seemed to be completely intertwined.

The soldier at the front immediately raised his broadsword and slashed down.

If this strike could gather the true energy of all the Rakshasa soldiers within the entire formation, it could completely kill the Rakshasa warrior in one blow.

But at the very moment of the attack, the true energy that had clearly been connected into one was not provided with any support.

This resulted in the final strike being less than even the power of a Xiantian (a type of martial arts technique).

Such power naturally could not break through the defenses of the Archangel.

But the Angel of Luo clearly understood that it wasn't that the other party couldn't kill him, but that the other party deliberately wanted to keep him alive.

Used for practicing formations!

"Kunsa, you've gone too far!"

"Hahaha, you traitor, you usurper, what can I do about bullying you?"
