Chapter 171 Reckless
On the west side of the Palace Island, after breaking the formation and rushing into the island, Cao Ze did not hesitate at all, and used the Wind Shadow Step to full effect, rushing towards the direction where the fighting waves came from.

He had originally explored the vicinity of the Palace Island and was now using his sea-viewing ability to observe the formation surrounding the entire island, trying to find any flaws in it.

Although he was confident that he could fight against the eighth-level Jiaoxue Grandmaster head-on with his greatly improved strength, it would be best if he could break the formation and defeat the enemy without fighting.

However, just when he was about to observe more, he suddenly sensed a violent fluctuation in the power of heaven and earth in the Palace Island from his sea-viewing vision.

It was obvious that someone was fighting in it.

And he sensed a familiar wave, majestic and towering like a mountain!

He is so familiar!
It’s Yue Lingke!

It must be Yue Lingke fighting with someone on the Palace Island. Perhaps this has something to do with the fluctuations in the Palace Island formation that he had sensed before.

But no matter what, since it has been confirmed that Yue Lingke is on the island, there is nothing to hesitate about. He doesn't know whether Yue Lingke's strength has improved, but he should not be a match for the guardian of the Palace Island.

After all, although Yue Lingke is also a genius, there is still a certain gap between him and him. It is impossible for his strength to improve by leaps and bounds like his in a short period of time.

If he didn't go to rescue now, Yue Lingke would be in danger.

This is also an opportunity. If we can arrive in time, we can end the battle before the guardian activates the formation.

……

"As expected of a genius of Tianjiao level!"

Seeing Yue Lingke's thunderous punch, Kong Shiyi sighed softly.

When he was the other person's age, he had just broken through to the Grandmaster level.

Unfortunately, he did not live these decades in vain.

At this time, he even had the opportunity to raise his hand and release a signal firework into the sky.

Suddenly, the entire Palace Island seemed to come alive. Everyone went to their respective positions like sophisticated machines. The nodes of the formation covering the entire island were lit up one by one, and a water-blue light curtain enveloped the Palace Island.

After doing all this, Kong Shiyi turned around again, his spine shaking like a dragon. In an instant, most of the surrounding world was under Kong Shiyi's control, and the power of thunder and lightning wielded by Yue Lingke was obviously dimmed.

Kong Shiyi's muscles were tense, and the next moment, his fist shot out like an arrow again.

As the punch was thrown, the surrounding temperature dropped by dozens of degrees in an instant. Even the water vapor in the air condensed into ice crystals and fell. The thick cold air enveloped the electric light blasted out by Yue Lingke before the two fists collided.

In an instant, even the thunder seemed to be frozen by the thick cold and stopped beating.

Bang!
Punch to punch.

Yue Lingke flew backwards like a rag doll.

The gap between the sixth level of Dragon Blood and the fifth level of Dragon Blood is much greater than she had imagined.

Kong Shiyi turned around and looked at the formation that had been activated. With a thought, his feet left the ground and his body flew into the air, shooting into the sky like an arrow.

Feng Xu's ability to control the wind is something that only the Dragon Blood Grandmaster can do, but on the Palace Island where the formation is fully activated, Kong Shiyi can do it as well.

Now he just needs to go to his own node and receive the power of the formation to catch the rat that sneaked into the Palace Island.

Boom!

At this moment, a flash of lightning appeared and headed straight towards Kong Shiyi.

Yue Lingke, who was blasted away by him, flew back again and threw another punch with lightning and thunder.

Through the orchid light of thunder, one could see that her face was covered in blood and her body was covered in ice crystals, like an ice sculpture.

But her eyes remained firm!
Now she had only one thought in her mind.

Wait a little longer!

Wait a little longer!

Kong Shiyi's face darkened, and he raised his hand again. Another icy frost arrow flew down from above, hitting Yue Lingke's fist heavily.

boom!
Like a nail hit by a sledgehammer.

Yue Lingke was smashed into the ground covered with bluestone slabs, leaving only half of his body on the ground.

His body was completely frozen by the ice crystals and he was completely unable to move.

Kong Shiyi no longer paid attention to Yue Lingke and flew up rapidly.

At this moment, a violent sound of breaking through the air was heard, and a small black dot appeared in the distance.

This little black dot was approaching at a terrifying speed.

Yue Lingke and Kong Shiyi both looked towards the small black dot.

Judging from the speed, the person coming is quite powerful. If he had not activated the Palace Island formation, he might not be a match for this person.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

The power he can exert by controlling the power of the formation is so great that even he himself is afraid!
"Cao Ze?!"

In just a moment, the person was approaching, and Yue Lingke finally saw his appearance clearly.

After a brief moment of shock, all that was left in her heart was despair.

If it was Senior Bai who came at this time, with his strength as a Dragon Blood Grandmaster, he would be able to crush the Palace Island of the Dragon God Temple at this time. Even He Zhengkui, the Deputy Commander of the Demon Subduing Division, would have a hope of defeating Kong Shiyi who had activated the Palace Island formation.

Unfortunately, it was Cao Ze who came...

She knew that Cao Ze’s talent might be better than hers, but she also knew that Cao Ze had missed too much time and started practicing martial arts very late.

When she left Cape City, she also knew Cao Ze's strength. He might be able to match an ordinary third or fourth level Jiaoxue master, but it was a fantasy for him to match Kong Shiyi.

Not to mention Kong Shiyi who activated the formation, even if it was Kong Shiyi that she was facing, Cao Ze would have no way to deal with him.

Now that he is here, he is just walking into a trap and is like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.

Retracting his gaze, Yue Lingke sighed softly, with the determination to die already forming in his heart.

Crack!

Suddenly, a loud thunder sounded.

The silver bottle broke and water splashed out. Silver-white thunder suddenly cut through the night sky, falling from the sky and landing on the head of Kong Shiyi who was ascending.

A bright light shone in Yue Lingke's eyes, and she raised her head again.

"What a terrifying thunder!"

She, who also mastered the Wind and Thunder Fist, could feel the terrifying power of this attack, which was much stronger than her.

This is a power that only a seventh-level master of Jiaoxue can possess!
Then she looked at Cao Ze, who raised his left hand and pointed at Kong Shiyi, her eyes full of doubt, "Did he send out this thunderbolt?"

What a terrifying speed of progress!

"Maybe there really is a chance?" A glimmer of life appeared in Yue Lingke's dead heart.

Kong Shiyi was terrified. The thunder came too suddenly and he had no time to dodge.

But at the critical moment, he did not panic. Instead of retreating, he advanced and rushed towards the thunder at a faster speed.

Click!

There was a crisp sound like a mechanical lock closing.

In an instant, the Palace Island formation lit up, and all the nodes were finally connected into a whole. Light blue energy lines began to flow from each node, instantly covering the entire formation shield, and finally all converged at Kong Shiyi's position.

Boom!

The thunder arrived as promised.

However, it was blocked by a light blue light shield three inches in front of Kong Shiyi. Bang!
The entire Palace Island began to shake slightly as if it had been kicked by a giant.

The light shield of the formation covering the Palace Island was shaking continuously, and the warriors of the Dragon God Temple at other nodes instantly felt a tremendous pressure.

However, this terrifying force was blocked by the formation and finally dispersed to various nodes. The damage suffered by each person was not high and was not serious.

After shaking violently for a few times, the formation recovered and became as stable as a rock.

Kong Shiyi let out a long sigh.

It is worthy of being a formation rewarded by the headquarters, it is really reliable at the critical moment!

At this moment, his mind moved, and a longbow fell into his hand. He looked at the small black dot below, his eyes full of cruelty.

Now that he has successfully activated the formation, the next step is his home court!
He drew his bow and arrow. The sudden arrival of this young man put a lot of pressure on him and he didn't want to give the other party any chance.

The light in Yue Lingke's eyes disappeared.

Unfortunately, Cao Ze was still a step late!
Cao Ze didn't think so. He looked up at Kong Shiyi. His view of the sea had already covered the Palace Island. In his eyes, the Palace Island formation with full firepower no longer had any secrets.

The combat effectiveness of a grandmaster warrior comes largely from leveraging the power of heaven and earth with his own strength, but the power of one person is ultimately limited. By combining the power of countless people, the same lever can naturally leverage more power of heaven and earth.

Of course, even though he understood the principle, Cao Ze still didn't know how the other party did it.

Moreover, this formation does not simply connect the power of all people and lend it to Kong Shiyi, but it can also play a powerful defensive role. Each of his attacks will be distributed to everyone in the formation.

It’s really exquisite!
Rumble!
While Cao Ze was observing the formation, Kong Shiyi's arrow had already broken through the air.

The air was torn apart, and the arrow advanced in the vacuum channel at a speed comparable to thunder. The terrifying ripples spread in all directions, and the buildings of the entire Palace Island were shaking under the aftermath.

It is foreseeable that after this war, only one in ten of these ancient buildings that have stood for hundreds or thousands of years will remain.

Palace Island has not experienced such war for a long time.

But there is no time to worry about so much now. As long as we get rid of this invader, the house can be built anytime.

The first move Kong Shiyi made was to use his unique skill, the Void-Breaking Wind Arrow!
Cao Ze also withdrew his spirit of investigating the formation, and raised his right hand. In an instant, the shadow of a two-legged cauldron emerged, and five-colored light flowed. The world that was originally completely immobilized by the formation was suddenly squeezed by a huge monster, and the control of a large area was forcibly taken away.

The world is reversed!

When the arrow shot by Kong Shiyi entered the range of a hundred feet around Cao Ze, it suddenly stopped, as if some rule between heaven and earth had been broken. The arrow, which was supposed to continue moving in the original direction and at the original speed, was affected, as if it was suddenly carrying a heavy bag, and the power of the entire world was pressing towards it.

After the Fantian Seal has achieved a small level of success, its power is no longer comparable to what it was before. If they meet the middle-aged man with the long stick again at this time, they will not even have a chance to struggle and will be easily controlled by Cao Ze.

But the arrow still slowly flew towards Cao Ze.

Although He Zhengkui said that Kong Shiyi's strength is the eighth level of Jiao Blood, Kong Shiyi, who has integrated the entire Palace Island formation, is far more powerful than the eighth level master of Jiao Blood.

Unfortunately, due to the limitations of Kong Shiyi's own strength, he cannot control such tremendous power. It is like installing a sports car engine on a Wuling bread. Although the power is strong enough, it still cannot reach the true top speed. If the speed is forcibly increased, the car will only float and become uncontrollable, resulting in the inevitable destruction of the car and death of people.

If the Palace Island formation was really activated at full power, before anyone could be hurt, Kong Shiyi himself would be backfired and hurt because he would not be able to control this power.

The eighth level of Dragon Blood is Kong Shiyi's upper limit, not the upper limit of the Palace Island formation!
After understanding this, Cao Ze was not in a hurry and continued to look at Kong Shiyi in the sky. Until the arrow was ten feet in front of him, he stretched out his left hand, raised his hand and pointed. A bolt of lightning fell from the sky, landed on the arrow, and completely annihilated it.

"blocked!"

Kong Shiyi's pupils shrank slightly.

The opponent's strength was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Yue Lingke also widened his eyes.

She had seen Kong Shiyi's strength after he activated the formation, and even He Zhengkui, who was at the ninth level of the Dragon Blood Realm, had to retreat.

If she were to face an arrow like that, she would be powerless to resist.

But now it was blocked by Cao Ze so casually?
What is his current strength?
Kong Shiyi also wanted to know this question, so he raised his hand and shot another arrow, then the second arrow, the third arrow... not giving Cao Ze any chance to breathe.

He had already realized that although he had no way to deal with the opponent, Cao Ze also had no way to break the formation, and was now already a turtle in a jar.

If it comes to a battle of attrition, he is not afraid of the opponent as he has gathered the power of the entire Palace Island formation!
Thousands of miles away from Palace Island, a ship was floating on the sea, blending into the dark night.

Only when you walk closer can you discover a few small dots flashing faint light.

Those were the eyes of Ye Bufan and the other two!

They were looking at the Palace Island where the terrifying fluctuations came from. At this moment, the entire Palace Island was shining brightly, like a bright light in the night, dazzling and eye-catching.

"A fight started?"

Ye Bufan turned to look at He Zhengkui and asked uncertainly.

He could guess what was going on from this kind of noise; it must be Cao Ze fighting with the defenders of Palace Island.

But what he was not sure about was, didn't He Zhengkui say that the guardian could exert the strength of an eighth-level master of Jiaoxue?

Why has this fight lasted for such a long time and there is no sign of stopping?
How could Cao Ze fight with the eighth-level master of Jiaoxue for such a long time?
He Zhengkui nodded.

This is beyond doubt.

Judging from the movements in the distance, Cao Ze’s strength was even stronger than he expected, and he was able to fight with the defenders of Palace Island for such a long time.

"Is this kid so strong?"

Lu Bohan exclaimed, his face showing an unconcealable joy.

But He Zhengkui's face did not look very good.

Logically speaking, after fighting for such a long time, Cao Ze should have realized that it was impossible to succeed and should have chosen to retreat.

Moreover, the fluctuations of the fight had been on the Palace Island, and he did not notice the arrows shot outside the Palace Island.

In other words, they fought on Palace Island!

Could it be that the boy actually broke into the Palace Island?
He Zhengkui's expression changed completely. He didn't expect Cao Ze to be so reckless.

If they were outside the island and saw that the situation was not right, with the fighting power Cao Ze showed at this time, he would definitely have no problem escaping.

But once you get to the island, it’s different.

Trapped in the formation, unless he could kill the guardian and break the formation, he would have nowhere to escape!
"what happened?"

Lu Bohan noticed He Zhengkui's ugly expression.

"That kid broke into the island."

"what?"

The joy on Lu Bohan's face disappeared and his face turned pale in an instant. He naturally understood what He Zhengkui meant by this sentence.

"Should we rescue him?"

Ye Bufan's mind moved, and the spear was already in his hand.

He Zhengkui shook his head, "It's useless. We can't even break the formation. If we go there now, we will only be buried with that kid."

"Let's go, stay away from here, and come back to avenge him after I recover from my injuries!"

After saying this, He Zhengkui turned and walked into the cabin, no longer paying attention to the outcome of the battle in the distance, as there was no need to pay attention to it.

Even if it was him, if he rashly broke into the palace island and was trapped by the formation, he might not be able to escape unscathed, let alone that reckless boy.

Originally, he wanted to recommend this kid to Xuanbao Pavilion, but he didn't expect that such a genius would die in just a few days.

As expected, all geniuses always have certain character flaws.

"Too reckless!"

He Zhengkui shook his head, sighed, and felt very regretful.
