Sword intent can be used as a lock pick? The array master was speechless!

However, at this tense moment where swords were drawn and a great battle was about to break out.

An impatient voice suddenly rang out.

"So noisy."

Lin Yuan looked at the aggressive beast tide with disdain, glanced at the crowd who were already in Formation and ready to fight to the death, and casually waved his hand.

"Alright, don't move."

"It's just a bunch of cattle, just watch and don't cause trouble."

After saying that, he walked forward under everyone's stunned gazes.

With his hands in his pockets and a leisurely pace, he went alone to meet the beast tide that was powerful enough to crush an iron flood.

"Consultant Lin!!"

Su Li's expression changed drastically, and she cried out instinctively.

That was a beast tide composed of over a hundred Meridian Opening Realm Late Stage beasts, plus a Huagang Realm Bull King!

Even if Consultant Lin's strength reached the heavens, how... how could he use his Physical Body to tank it head-on?!

"Don't move! Trust Consultant Lin!"

Su Li eventually forced down her worries and gave a strict order to the soldiers who were also starting to get restless.

She knew that this man never did anything he wasn't certain of.

On the other side.

When the Demon Bull King saw that only one tiny human dared to stand in the way of their charge, its huge bull eyes instantly revealed extreme disdain and a cruel, fierce light.

It treated this human as an ant that could be crushed at will.

"Moo!!!"

The Demon Bull King let out another world-shaking roar, and the flames burning on its four hooves became even more violent!

It lowered its head, aimed its pair of sharp horns that could pierce through mountains at Lin Yuan, and its entire body turned into a crimson meteor, crashing toward him!

The force of this impact was enough to level a small mountain!

The soldiers behind him all held their breath in Fear, their hearts leaping into their throats!

However, facing this world-destroying impact.

Lin Yuan didn't even lift an eyelid.

He simply reached out a hand.

At the moment the flaming horns were about to touch his chest, he lightly pressed his palm against them.

In the next second.

Time seemed to stand still.

The earth-shattering collision that was expected did not happen.

The Demon Bull King's terrifying momentum, which could crush anything, was like a clay ox entering the sea the moment it touched Lin Yuan's palm, instantly disappearing without a trace.

The entire world fell into an eerie silence.

"Crack..."

A crisp sound, like glass shattering, was particularly piercing on this silent battlefield.

Everyone, including the arrogant Demon Bull King, was stunned.

They saw.

On the Demon Bull King's indestructible spiral horns, which were comparable to divine weapons and Sharp Weapons, fine cracks... actually appeared!

The cracks spread rapidly like a spider web!

"Bang!"

With an explosion, the horns that symbolized power and dignity shattered!

They turned into fragments that filled the sky!

"Moo...?"

The Demon Bull King didn't understand what had happened.

Lin Yuan was too lazy to explain to it.

He retracted his hand, looked at the big guy who was still dazed, and frowned impatiently.

Then, he raised his fist and casually swung it forward.

That punch looked soft and without any force, like a child playing around.

But when that punch was lightly pressed against the Demon Bull King's mountain-like head.

"Boom—!!!"

An indescribable, terrifying power exploded instantly!

The Demon Bull King's massive body suddenly stiffened!

Then, starting from its head, it cracked inch by inch, and finally, under the horrified gazes of all the Demon Bulls and humans, it exploded!

It turned into a rain of blood!

One punch!

Just one punch!

A Huagang Realm Demon Bull King was directly turned into shredded meat before it even had time to let out a scream!

The entire world went completely quiet.

The remaining hundred or so Red Flame Demon Bulls all froze in place, the flames burning on their bodies extinguished due to extreme Fear.

They looked at the man standing in the rain of blood, whose clothes weren't even ruffled, and their massive bodies began to tremble violently and uncontrollably.

That was Fear from the depths of the Soul!

"Gulp..."

Someone swallowed hard.

In the next second.

"Moo—!!!"

All the Red Flame Demon Bulls let out a scream so shrill it changed pitch, then they suddenly turned around, used every ounce of their strength, and fled for their lives back where they came from!

That scene was even more spectacular than when they arrived!

Lin Yuan brushed off the non-existent dust on his hands and gave a big yawn.

"Done."

He turned around and said lazily to the hundred soldiers who were completely petrified like statues.

"You can continue leading the way."

...Silence all the way.

After the one-sided "battle" just now, the atmosphere of the entire hundred-man squad became incredibly eerie.

The way all the soldiers looked at Lin Yuan's back had changed.

If it was worship and fanaticism before, now only awe remained.

A primitive awe from the depths of the Soul for a higher-level life form.

They didn't even dare to breathe loudly, for Fear of disturbing this big shot who was "taking a stroll."

Even Su Li just quietly followed beside Lin Yuan without saying anything more.

She knew that any words at this moment would be pale and powerless.

This man was using the simplest and most brutal method to constantly redefine the concept of "powerful" for her and everyone else.

The team advanced quickly in a death-like silence.

Soon, a massive valley appeared before everyone's eyes.

At the entrance of the valley stood two huge stone statues that were weathered beyond recognition, vaguely identifiable as some kind of ancient Divine Beast, filled with the ancient Aura of time.

And between the two stone statues, a translucent light screen rippling like water completely blocked the road ahead.

On the light screen, countless profound and complex golden runes flowed slowly like living things, connecting with each other to form an impenetrable energy Formation.

An ancient, vast, and even holy and majestic Aura spread from the Formation, making everyone who approached feel a sense of oppression from the bottom of their hearts.

"Is this... the entrance to the Ancient Ruins?"

A soldier looked at this spectacular and mysterious scene and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Such strong energy fluctuations! Just standing here, I feel my own energy flow becoming sluggish!"

"This Formation has probably been running for thousands of years, yet it still possesses such power. It's simply incredible!"

A solemn expression also appeared on Su Li's face.

She could feel that this Formation contained terrifying power enough to easily wipe out Huagang Realm experts.

Trying to break it by force was an almost impossible task.

"Old Chen!"

Su Li turned her head and said in a deep voice to an old man in the team wearing a special research coat and having white hair and a white beard.

This Old Chen was one of Dragon Xia Kingdom's top Formation Masters, specifically sent by headquarters this time to deal with various ancient Restrictions that might appear in the ruins.

"Leave it to me."

Old Chen nodded, pushed up his reading glasses, took out a precision instrument like a compass from his chest, and walked slowly to the light screen.

His face carried a scholar's characteristic fanaticism and excitement.

"Heavens... this rune structure... this energy circuit... it's simply exquisite! It's an ancient rune system I've never seen before!"

Old Chen reached out his withered finger and carefully touched the light screen, feeling the vast flow of energy within it, and became completely mesmerized.

"So ingenious! So perfect! This is simply the Peak of Formation science!"

As he praised it, he quickly operated the instrument in his hand, and countless data streams flashed wildly on the instrument screen.

However, as time passed, the excitement on Old Chen's face was gradually replaced by solemnity and confusion.

Fine beads of sweat broke out on his forehead, and his brows were tightly knit together.

"That's not right... the energy flow is reversed... how is that possible? This completely violates the basic principles of Formations!"

"And this core rune, why are there thirty-six variations? This... this is impossible to deduce!"

Half an hour passed.

The instrument in Old Chen's hand suddenly made a "sizzle" sound, emitted a puff of blue smoke, and was completely scrapped.

As for himself, he turned pale and took several steps back, sitting on the ground with eyes full of defeat and confusion.

"No... it's completely impossible..."

He shook his head in despair, his voice trembling slightly.

"The complexity of this Formation has far exceeded my cognition! Let alone breaking it, I can't even see through its operating principles! To find the Formation Core, unless... unless an immortal helps!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's hearts sank.

Even Dragon Xia Kingdom's top Formation Master was helpless. Were they going to be blocked here and stop in their tracks?

Just as everyone was at their wits' end and the atmosphere was at a stalemate.

The figure who had been leaning against a rock from beginning to end, eyes closed as if asleep, finally moved.

Lin Yuan gave a yawn, stood up slowly, and stretched.

"After all that time, you're still not done?"

He glanced at the despondent Old Chen, then at the flowing energy light screen, an impatient look appearing on his face.

"Sigh, what a bother."

He stepped forward and walked straight toward the ancient Formation that had made Old Chen despair.

"Consultant Lin! No!"

Seeing this, Old Chen's expression changed drastically, and he quickly spoke up to stop him.

"This Formation contains a terrifying counter-attack force. Do not touch it lightly! Otherwise..."

His words stopped abruptly.

Because Lin Yuan didn't pay any attention to his warning at all.

Lin Yuan walked to the light screen without even bothering to look at those complex runes.

He just casually reached out a finger and lightly tapped the light screen.

"Hum—!"

In an instant, an indescribable sharp Aura exploded from Lin Yuan's fingertip!

That wasn't energy, nor was it Protective Aura!

It was a more pure, more fundamental... Will that seemed capable of cutting through all things in heaven and earth and piercing through the Laws of time and space!

Cangming Sword Intent!
