The Urban Dao Child.

557 Breaking The Array.



Yang Dao and Natalie rushed through the place and arrived at the meeting place, they found Bai Hu and the other two waiting for them. Seth spoke up as soon as he spotted the two, “Yang Dao, hurry up and solve this array. The time given by the trial spirit is about to end. Also, the people in this illusionary world are becoming aggressive to the peak. One of them almost…”

He did not speak any further but his expressions depicted fear, strong fear. Hector nodded and waved his hands to signal Yang Dao to hurry with the process. The young boy followed along and walked over to them. He asked, “Big Brother Bai, the node you found is a golden one?”

Bai Hu nodded and took out a golden cube from his space ring and handed it to Yang Dao. The boy took out the bronze and the silver cubes from his space ring. The cubes had a resonance between them and they began to revolve in a circular formation. Yang Dao took out a dagger from his space ring and cut a wound on his finger and dripped a few drops of blood on the levitating cubes.

The cubes slowed down and became stationary. Yang Dao made a seal with his hand and said, “Merge.”

The runes on the cubes all began to shine and followed by a sharp whistling sound, the cubes came together, They did not merge together like some blobs of water, but they defragmented, and broke into multiple smaller cubes before they began to reshape into a big cube. Natalie broke asked, “Young Master Yang what is happening?”

The surrounding area has begun to tremble slightly, Yang Dao said, “The world of illusion is falling apart. This is will the final contest.”

Seth asked, “What do you mean the final contest?” his voice was still agitated.

Suddenly, Bai Hu took out his sword and said, “Prepare for battle.”

The other three were surprised when they heard loud shouts, “There they are, these demons killed our city lord. Kill them.”

“who is with me, tonight we slay these demons.”

The illusionary people seemed to have made Yang Dao and the rest into demons. The Dao Child said, “I cannot fight, I need to focus on these runes if the order of their merger is messed. Then we are all dead.”

Bai Hu nodded and said, “Form a triangular formation Seth, Hector, you two are with me. Natalie, you stay closer to him and protect his back. We will deal with the hostiles.”

His command was clear, as the eldest among them, Bai Hu has seen his fair share of bloodshed and battles. He could tell that the people will target Yang Dao first and then the rest. So, he made it a priority task to protect the array master.

The crowd of people unleashed their weapons at the three boys, however, the quality of skills was both low. Whenever someone managed to break through the foothold of the three people, Natalie killed them with her flame arrow. This time her flames were concentrated and dealt more damage. Yang Dao stood in front of the merging cube slowly decrypting the runes.

The crowd became more cautious in their attacks and the three boys entered longer stalemates. Natalie noticed the change and asked, “What is happening?”

Yang Dao understood the meaning behind her question and said, “The runes carved on the nodes were made in such a way that when someone tries to decrypt them, these runes will become stronger. The stronger they become the higher the intelligence of this illusionary world.”

Natalie took a cold breath and asked, “Can you do something to solve this sooner? The three of them will not be able to hold the enemy.”

Yang Dao shook his head and said, “They will fail because they are holding back. They have forgotten their true strength because of the pressure on their minds. Big Brother Bai has yet to use his sword intent. Seth is yet to show his determination and brother Hector is yet to accept his uniqueness. Do you think if we all can do what we are best at, we will lose to this mob?”

His words were loud and clear enough for the three guys to hear, even if they were fighting they all could hear what the two were chatting about. Yang Dao just woke them up with a dose of bitter love.

The first one to take a step forward was none other than Seth. He has been holding back when facing the illusionary people, even if this was an illusion, he did not wish to kill humans. However, listening to their words, his eyes changed and he decided to let go. His swordplay changed. The body began to move like a swallow and the blade shone all around like a lightning flash.

Watching him Bai Hu also let go of his restraints and let out a strong sword intent from his sword. The ray of light around the blade would pass through everything like a hot knife through butter. The scene changed once more, this time the illusionary people were being pushed back.

Only Hector was the one facing pressure. He did not want the people to hear his shrill voice. However, when Yang Dao told him that he was unique and that this uniqueness was his strong skill, he had slowly decided to let go of the self-restrains on his mind. After repelling a person engaging him, the boy let out a bellowing cry.

ARGHHHHH

The shrill voice made everyone dizzy as soon as they heard it. Every person inside the illusion was stunned, even Bai Hu and Seth. Natalie was standing behind Hector so she was still a little better than the rest. As for Yang Dao, he was unaffected. He used the wind to isolate his ears. He said, “Brother Hector, pull back the people. We are leaving this place.”

Hector reacted quickly and grabbed Bai Hu and Seth back to stand closer to Yang Dao and the final piece of the cube combined. The whole cube rotated at a high speed. It was shining with blue and white light. Soon, the light formed a cocoon around the five people and they vanished from their spot.

After they vanished the array of cubes broke down again, and three small cubes occupied the bodies of the illusionary people. The array was ready to test the next group of people.

After vanishing from the array the five people appeared in their previous spot. The voice of the trial spirit sounded, “Very well, you have passed the second trial. Now, you can choose to rest for twenty minutes before the last trial. However, know that this trial is not going to be an illusionary, or secret. You will be taking it in front of all your companions and your elders. I hope that you are all ready. This trial includes a significant chance of death.”

Yang Dao said, “I expect nothing less from you.”

The other four chuckled. Yang Dao sat down on the ground with his legs crossed and eyes closed. He started to refine the spiritual energy at a fast pace. He did not tell anyone but inside the array, he was using his spiritual essence to manipulate the cubes and decrypt them. He was not fighting because he did not have enough energy to spare and not because he was busy focusing on the cubes.

He did not want the others to see that he was exhausted. While he was focusing on recovering his strength. He noticed that the speed was twice that before. He was cultivating really fast, as for the reason he temporarily decided to put this question away, at this moment his concern was to recover quickly and take the final trial.

The reason behind the sudden growth of his talent was the teardrop that assimilated into his body when Feng Yun was embracing him with her spiritual clone. Although that was just a clone, the essence it carried belonged to the phoenix.

As the five people began to cultivate, the sight in front of the disciples outside changed. Amil suddenly said, “Shakti look ahead.”

Shakti was cultivating and she opened her eyes to see that a screen of spiritual energy had condensed in front of them all. The screen displayed Yang Dao and the other four disciples cultivating.

Just when everyone was confused about what was happening, an indifferent voice sounded in their minds, “The final trial will begin shortly. You all will hold witness to this exam. If the five inside could get past this trial then they will be known as the Young Paragons. The establishment of this title needs the pentagon to be a witness. I hope you have not yet forgotten the decree of your ancestors.”

The words confused the disciples but the guarding elders were shocked. They did not expect the situation to turn out like this. Elder Cao and the other Guarding Elders took out the talismans and contacted the leaders of the sect to come over in person, things have just become too big for these old men.
