Chapter 1480: Array
Watching Xiang Yunshan about to take action personally, all the Xiang Family members were on edge, staring intently at Jiang Feng with bitter hatred!
They knew this was going to be the ultimate showdown. From the moment Xiang Cen was killed, all the Xiang Family’s stakes were placed on Xiang Yunshan alone!
The great battle was about to erupt when suddenly an old voice sounded among the crowd: "Old Master, wait a moment!"
In an instant, everyone, filled with tension, turned to the source of the voice.
It was revealed that the speaker was none other than the Great Housekeeper, Uncle Jie!
Within the Xiang Family, Uncle Jie held an extremely esteemed position, second only to Xiang Yunshan himself.
In the past, Xiang Yunshan was absorbed in martial arts practice, and all family matters, big and small, were handled by Uncle Jie, who was Xiang Yunshan’s true confidant and aide.
Moreover, Uncle Jie himself was a Martial Artist of outstanding strength, possessing a Peak Realm of four or five levels, making him a critical and respected figure in the Xiang Family!
Yet even so, Uncle Jie’s sudden interjection seemed ill-timed at this moment!
No matter how strong he was, he hadn’t reached the Spirit Void stage; could he replace Xiang Yunshan in the battle at this point?
Even the two Spirit Void Realm Xiao Yao Elders were defeated by Jiang Feng!
"What?"
Xiang Yunshan halted his steps, frowning as he asked.
"Old Master, please hold your steps! To slay this brat, I have a clever trick; with your esteemed self, you must not act rashly!"
Uncle Jie looked at Xiang Yunshan with a slightly anxious expression.
His mindset was extremely heavy at the moment because he saw the bigger picture very clearly.
Given the current situation, even if Xiang Yunshan killed Jiang Feng, it wouldn’t be glorious, and any mishap would truly put the Xiang Family on the brink of collapse—they couldn’t afford to lose!
Xiang Yunshan’s frown deepened: "You?"
"Old Master, don’t forget my specialty, it’s the perfect fit against this brat!" Uncle Jie desperately made eye contact with Xiang Yunshan to awaken him.
Sure enough, Xiang Yunshan realized something, finally nodding with restrained anger: "Fine, you do it!"
After which, he coldly glared at Jiang Feng like a blade: "Jiang, you are lucky! Whether Uncle Jie steps in or not, you will have no burial place!"
"Looking for another scapegoat, are you?"
Jiang Feng sneered, taking a step forward: "I don’t have time for this nonsense, stop wasting—"
"Jiang Feng!"
Uncle Jie abruptly stepped forward, interrupting Jiang Feng, with a sinister gaze, "Don’t speak too soon; you’re a lowly wretch hardly worth the Family Head executing you personally. I am more than enough to deal with you!"
Jiang Feng turned expressionlessly to Uncle Jie, judging from the aura, this person was just a trash of the Peak Realm; where did he get the confidence to jump out and throw away his life?
"Jiang Feng, I know your strength is peculiar, but I am not comparing pure martial prowess with you now. I intend to show you some terrifying methods beyond raw power, ensuring your death!" Uncle Jie grinned sinisterly, exuding immense confidence with his words!
"Beyond raw power?"
Hearing this, not only was Jiang Feng’s expression intriguing, but other Xiang Family members also felt puzzled!
However, soon, they seemed to remember something, instantly like a revelation dawning upon them!
"Array Formation! Uncle Jie must be referring to his specialty in Array Formation!!"
"Ah, we almost forgot, Uncle Jie’s expertise is Array Formation. The Xiang Family hasn’t faced external threats for so many years, we almost forgot his signature skill. His formations even give Spirit Void Mahayana experts a hard time!"
"We forgot that we have the barrier that is Uncle Jie; just like the Family Head, he is a pillar of indestructibility in the Xiang Family!"
Hearing the discussions among the Xiang Family members and observing their rejuvenated expressions, Jiang Feng smiled playfully: "Array Formation?"
"Indeed!"
Uncle Jie smiled proudly: "Jiang Feng, how ignorant you are? My specialty is the incredibly rare art of Array Formation in this world! My proficiency in formations has already reached the legendary ’Invisible Realm’; I could set up many formations around your body just with a few words, and you might not even know it."
"Oh, really?" Jiang Feng found it even more amusing.
Rely on Array Formation to trap him? Is that a joke?
Though Jiang Feng indeed felt Uncle Jie subtly alter the magnetic field around him in some silent way, but what difference did it make?
Let’s not even mention brute force, these trivial techniques couldn’t bother him at all!
"Jiang Feng, take this!"
Uncle Jie’s expression suddenly changed, shouting with a harsh voice, his hands forming several strange Dharma Seals, suddenly causing mysterious ripples of spatial distortion around Jiang Feng!
In truth, in a flash of lightning, Uncle Jie indeed had invisibly set up forty-nine formations, firmly trapping Jiang Feng!
In no time at all, the formations were completed!
In all fairness, Uncle Jie’s command of formations had truly reached a disturbing level!
Yet Jiang Feng’s smile remained unchanged, even nodding as if to himself: "Hmm, at least it’s something fresh."
Uncle Jie was outraged upon hearing this!
His all-out effort was only deemed "fresh" by Jiang Feng??
Was that mockery?
Then, he couldn’t help exclaiming in rage: "Utter ignorance! You may not know that Zhuge Liang once used the Eight Formation Diagram to trap Lu Xun’s army of a hundred thousand, and Sima Yi used the Mixed Yuan Qi Formation to counter Northern Expeditions; these formations are very real, did you think you could imagine the mysteries of formations in your childishness? You deserve death!"
"Oh, is that so?"
Jiang Feng laughed even more joyfully: "Too bad, you are neither Zhuge Liang nor Sima Yi, and I am certainly not Lu Xun!"
When he said this, his tone was extremely calm, no different from usual.
However, as his last word fell, the surrounding air suddenly emitted explosive pop sounds!
"You!" Just moments ago, Uncle Jie had thought himself victorious, now he was utterly astonished!
Because, while Jiang Feng was speaking, he had silently used his aura to completely dismantle the forty-nine "trapping arrays" that Uncle Jie had meticulously set up!
With effortless ease, without a trace of fire or smoke!
At this moment, Uncle Jie’s composed expression froze instantly!
Upon self-reflection, in the realm of Array Formation, few people in the present age surpassed him!
He was once apprenticed to a top hidden Array Master, learning the true lore, which later made him valued by Xiang Yunshan, staying by his side as a confidant!
Yet now, Jiang Feng had used actual actions to harshly slap his old face!
"Bragged so much, and that’s all you’ve got?"
Jiang Feng’s expression seemed a bit disappointed: "Your so-called ’Invisible Realm’ of Array Formation, what a joke! The Invisible Realm means a formation is made with a mere thought; you still needed to cast seals, and the thoughts in your mind while forming arrays were impure, far from a true Array Master!"
