Chapter 335: Unable to resist, forced to seek help
At this time, Lu Yue saw Manjusri Bodhisattva appear in front of the two armies, frowned slightly, and said to Huang Feihu:
"Since Manjusri Bodhisattva has accepted the challenge, Your Majesty, please step aside first. I will go ahead and control the Plague Array to compete with him."
Huang Feihu heard this and realized that this was no longer his home ground. So he nodded and stepped aside.
Upon seeing this, Lu Yue signaled the four disciples beside him with his eyes, then he leaped to the center of the plague formation.
After receiving the order from their master Lu Yue, Zhou Xin, Li Qi, Zhu Tianlin and Yang Wenhui all activated their spiritual power, and in a flash, they transformed into four streams of light, and followed closely behind, entering the plague array.
They each took their positions, forming a five-corner formation with Lu Yue, and jointly controlled the plague formation.
Under the control of the five masters and apprentices, the plague array began to operate. In an instant, sand and rocks flew, and cold winds blew.
The array was filled with smoke and flying dust, forming strange whirlpools, revealing a heart-pounding feeling of coldness.
"Manjusri, since you are here, just join the battle!" Lu Yue said in a deep voice, with unquestionable majesty in his voice.
His eyes were as sharp as torches, staring closely at Manjusri Bodhisattva outside the formation, as if he wanted to pierce through the other person's soul.
Upon hearing this, Manjusri Bodhisattva's eyes became stern, he snorted coldly, and said in a cold voice:
"Humph! I just don't believe that the formation set up by a mere Taiyi Golden Immortal can be that powerful!"
His words were full of disdain and arrogance, but deep down in his heart he was wary of this plague array.
After saying this, Manjusri Bodhisattva circulated the spiritual power in his body, his figure flashed, turned into a stream of light, and resolutely entered the plague array.
Upon seeing this, Lu Yue curled up the corner of his mouth into a sneer, and then sent a message to Zhou Xin and the other three, telling them that they must trap Manjusri Bodhisattva here.
At this time, Manjusri Bodhisattva had just entered the plague array and felt a little uncomfortable.
He looked at the formation, which was filled with fog and dust, and every corner revealed a chilling feeling.
This chilling feeling seemed to be able to penetrate the magical light that protected his body and penetrate directly into his bones, causing him to feel a palpitation.
His eyes were like torches, scanning everything in the formation. He saw that the formation was filled with all kinds of strange runes, which emitted a faint green light, as if silently devouring the surrounding spiritual power.
Manjusri Bodhisattva felt a chill in his heart and thought to himself:
"This formation is indeed extraordinary. It can actually devour spiritual energy! If I don't break it in time, I'm afraid I will really be trapped here."
He took a deep breath, calmed his mind, quickly formed seals with his hands, and muttered something.
As he chanted the spell, a brilliant golden light surged out of his body and transformed into a huge golden sword, which slashed towards a rune in the formation.
However, the rune seemed to have spirituality and it twisted slightly to avoid the attack of the golden sword.
Manjusri Bodhisattva frowned slightly. He knew very well that this formation was very powerful and could not be confronted head-on.
So he changed his strategy and began to wander around the formation, looking for the key to breaking it.
Sometimes he swung his sword and sometimes he attacked with magic power. Every attack just avoided the edge of the formation, but did not weaken the power of the formation.
Seeing that Manjusri Bodhisattva was like a blind man groping in the dark in the plague array, rushing around aimlessly, and every attack of his was like hitting cotton, with no effect at all, Lu Yue couldn't help but feel a bit of contempt in his heart.
He sneered, his voice was full of sarcasm:
“Manjusri, is this all your strength? If so, then you will just die in this plague array of mine and become a dead soul in the array.”
Upon hearing this, a hint of fierce murderous intent flashed in Manjusri Bodhisattva's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by calmness.
He knew very well that Lu Yue was a vicious and cunning person, and the plague array he had set up was extremely serious. If he was not careful, he might fall into an irretrievable situation.
However, as a disciple of the saint and one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, how could he admit defeat so easily?
He took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and began to observe the plague array carefully.
There was fog and plague in the air, like a dead swamp, swallowing up all life.
Manjusri Bodhisattva thought to himself that this plague array was really something, and its power was far beyond what he had imagined before.
He swung the sword in his hand again, trying to find a way to break the formation. However, every attack was like a drop in the ocean, to no avail.
What made him even more uneasy was that as he stayed in the formation longer and longer, the spiritual energy in his body began to be gradually penetrated by the plague energy, and even signs of corrosion appeared on the surface of his skin.
"Humph, Lu Yue, don't be so complacent!"
Manjusri Bodhisattva suppressed his inner panic and said coldly, "I just didn't expect that your plague array would be so vicious."
"You are indeed a person with little luck, practicing these unorthodox techniques. Humph, in this case, I will break this formation to prevent you from continuing to cause trouble in the ancient world!"
Before he finished speaking, his body suddenly jumped up, turned into a stream of light, and rushed towards a weak point in the formation.
There, the fog seemed a little thinner, as if hiding the key to breaking the formation.
However, just as he was about to touch the weak point, a violent vibration suddenly occurred, and the entire plague array seemed to come alive and began to frantically devour the surrounding spiritual energy.
Manjusri Bodhisattva paused, and felt a powerful force binding him tightly, as if dragging him into an endless abyss.
He was startled, knowing that it was Lu Yue who was secretly controlling the formation, trying to trap him to death.
"Lü Yue, don't even think about trapping me!"
Manjusri Bodhisattva roared, and the spiritual power in his body surged out, turning into a bright beam of light, trying to break through the constraints of the formation.
However, when the beam of light touched the edge of the formation, it seemed to be blocked by an invisible force and could not move forward an inch.
Seeing this, Lu Yue curled up his lips into a cold smile:
"Manjusri, do you think that with your strength, you can break my plague array? You are wishful thinking!"
Before he finished speaking, he gently waved the plague umbrella in his hand, and the fog in the array suddenly became thicker, as if it was going to swallow up the entire space.
Seeing this, Manjusri Bodhisattva was startled. He knew that he had underestimated the enemy at the beginning. He did not expect that Lu Yue's plague array would be so powerful.
He endured the physical discomfort and began to circulate the spiritual power in his body, trying to find the center of the formation and break it.
However, the plague array was like a bottomless pit, constantly devouring his spiritual power, making him feel increasingly powerless.
"Is it possible... that I am really going to be trapped here?"
Manjusri Bodhisattva was thinking secretly in his heart, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes. At this moment, he felt a little regretful and regretted why he came to break into the formation.
Just when his mind was in a state of confusion and he was almost overwhelmed by panic, a familiar figure suddenly flashed through his mind - Master Ran Deng.
This deputy leader of the Chan sect, who had profound Taoism and cultivation reaching the quasi-saint level, seemed to be his only life-saving straw at the moment.
A look of joy suddenly appeared on Manjusri Bodhisattva's face, and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.
He prayed in his heart: "How could I forget Master Ran Deng? If he could help me, with his quasi-saint cultivation, wouldn't this mere plague array be broken in a matter of minutes!"
Thinking of this, he suppressed the panic in his heart, moved his palm slightly, and condensed an exquisite Jade Purity Immortal Technique.
I saw a bright ray of magical light shooting out from his palm, like a lightning that cuts through the darkness, instantly penetrating the heavy fog of the plague array.
Although the plague array is powerful enough to trap a cultivator like Manjusri Bodhisattva, the sound transmission technique in the Jade Purity Immortal Law is extraordinary.
It was like an invisible bridge that spanned the constraints of space and accurately transmitted Manjusri Bodhisattva's distress signal.
