?

  The heavenly machine formation entered the grand hall of the array.

  Li Hui and the remaining two hundred or so cultivators initially stood quietly waiting, their eyes all fixed on the ten transmission arrays.

  Nearly half a time later, the transmission array was still motionless, and these people gradually showed impatience on their faces.

  Another moment passed, and suddenly a white light burst forth from one corner of one of the transmission arrays.

  "Report to the captain, someone has successfully passed through portal number thirty-seven." The monk in front of the transmission array reported.

  Yu Cheng nodded: "No need to repay, just keep a good record."

  All the masters who participated in the assessment were in a state of high spirits, and after half an hour, someone finally emerged from the array. Everyone looked at these ten transmission arrays with renewed anticipation once again.

  After a cup of tea and some kung fu, the large circular teleportation array in the center of the main hall suddenly flashed white light, and a cultivator appeared stumbling out of the array.

  Everyone's heart moved, and their eyes all turned towards this monk.

  The monk was also one of the first batch of people to enter the assessment, but at this time his face was pale and he had a flustered expression. His body trembled slightly and his clothes were torn in several places. He then came back to himself, only to find that everyone in the hall was staring at him. His face turned red with shame, yet he stood there in the array, unsure of what to do.

  Cheng looked at the monk calmly: "Go stand aside and wait for the assessment to end."

  The monk's face turned red as he walked down from the transmission array and stood aside.

  Everyone in their hearts understood that this person had failed to pass through the gate, and instead had put away a few points of complacency towards the first trial of the Heavenly Machine Formation.

  Next, after a while, there is a burst of light in the transmission array, and sometimes different positions in the same transmission array also shine with light one after another.

  Everyone understands that each transmission array can transmit to ten different arrays, and it is clear that there are people passing through the adjacent arrays.

  Half a time later, all the people in the array had come out of the pass, and a total of seven people failed to pass through the barrier and were sent back.

  "Report to the captain, all ten people from transmission array number one have exited."

  "Portal number two, all ten people have exited."

  ……

  "All transmission arrays have reported in. Yu Cheng nodded and said calmly: 'Second batch, proceed with entry.'"

  Then the ten monks again handed over the transmission jade symbols to Li Hui and other second batch of monks who broke through the pass.

  The second batch of one hundred people had by now put away their scornful hearts and walked forward with solemn faces.

  One by one, the transmission arrays lit up, and the second batch of cultivators who participated in the assessment were transmitted into the array.

  ……

  Li Hui felt a dizziness in front of his eyes, and what was in front of him had already become a completely different scene.

  At this moment, I am in a narrow and long corridor, the corridor is only ten feet wide and five feet high, and the back is dark and cannot be seen.

  Li Hui calculated in his heart, if one hundred people enter the formation at the same time, that would be one hundred such corridors. The fortress where the Tianji Formation is located obviously doesn't have such a huge size. With a turn of thought in his mind, he suddenly realized that he should be in an independent array space now.

  Can't help but secretly sigh at the tactics of Ziwei Palace, just a training ground for a city guard team, yet they used such a big move.

  Although he knew time was precious, Li Hui did not rashly move forward, but instead released his spiritual awareness to scout ahead.

  After the spiritual consciousness extended ten zhang, it was as if it had encountered an invisible wall and could no longer move forward. Li Hui's heart skipped a beat, apparently this space had some restrictions on spiritual consciousness.

  "Now that spiritual awareness is suppressed, those puppets must be hiding in the dark, so I'll use my body technique to quickly pass through."

  A flash of light, and the Purple Lightning Sword appeared in his hand. Immediately, Li Hui's body unfolded into a clear breeze and flew forward swiftly.

  "Hiss!"

  Li Hui had just flown out for less than ten zhang when a flying sword whizzed in from the left.

  "Hee hee hee!"

  The sound of flying swords breaking through the air continued to rise, and sword lights shot from left and right, forming a sword net in front that blocked Li Hui's figure.

  Li Hui forcibly bent his body and flew backward, while the purple electric sword light flashed once, had already left his hand and shot towards the direction of one of the incoming sword lights.

  "Ding!"

  The purple electric sword stabbed into a hard object, but it was unable to pierce even a fraction of an inch, emitting a sound of metal clashing.

  Li Hui's hand made a beckoning gesture, and the Purple Lightning Sword flew back into his grasp.

  "Hoo-hoo-hoo!"

  A gust of wind sounded, and nine figures appeared in front, each holding a flying sword in their hands, standing in a line to seal off the entire corridor.

  Li Hui's pupils slightly contracted, and through the feedback of his spiritual consciousness, he found that these nine people did not have any life aura on their bodies, but they emitted a strong aura, which was exactly nine puppets.

  "Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!"

  These puppets would certainly not greet Li Hui, a flash of light in their hands, and the nine flying swords whizzed by once again.

  This time Li Hui saw clearly, the movement of the nine flying swords was all under control, and he had a few points of confidence in his heart. His body moved, turning into a gust of clear wind, twisting left and right to avoid all nine flying swords, then wanting to flash through the gap between the nine puppet positions.

  "Ah!"

  As Li Hui approached, the nine puppets suddenly moved in unison, surrounding him and flying back to their original positions, with the nine flying swords stabbing towards Li Hui's body.

  "Hmmph!"

  Li Hui snorted coldly. In his view, the attacks of these nine puppets were not weak in terms of strength, but they really didn't have much skill to speak of, and were extremely clumsy.

  "Ding ding ding!"

  Li Hui's figure didn't stop, the purple electric sword continuously stabbed out, some of the flying swords dodged to avoid them, while others were blocked and opened up. In an instant, he had already broken through the nine puppets' blockade, his figure not stopping as he swiftly swept forward.

  "Hehehe!"

  Behind him, the sound of flying swords breaking through the air kept coming, apparently those nine puppets were conducting a long-range attack.

  Li Hui's body twisted and distorted, but his speed didn't decrease at all as he flew forward, and the nine flying swords' attacks all fell short.

  "Ah!"

  A gust of wind blew through the corridor, and Li Hui instantly swept out dozens of feet away.

  "Knock knock knock!"

  From behind, the sound of nine puppets running far away came, apparently also chasing after.

  Li Hui's body didn't dare to stop for a moment, but his spiritual awareness was released to cover the entire area within a radius of ten zhang, and in an instant, it flew out again to a distance of a hundred zhang.

  Li Hui's figure suddenly stopped, holding the Purple Electric Sword in his hand, with a solemn expression looking forward.

  "Knock knock knock!"

  A heavy and mechanical footsteps, eighteen puppets holding long spears and wearing armor appeared in front, quickly ran over, stood in a certain position, surrounded Li Hui.

  Li Hui's gaze swept over these puppets, but in his heart, he was calculating how to quickly break through the encirclement of these puppets.

  He had already figured out some of the gates, and the nine puppets that intercepted him earlier obviously used more remote flying sword attacks, while these eighteen puppets all used heavy close-range weapons.

  "Ah!"

  A puppet swung a long spear in its hand towards Li Hui horizontally.

  Li Hui dodged the spear thrust with a slight movement of his body, then took advantage of the momentum to charge forward, his Purple Lightning Sword flashing out like lightning.

  "Pffft!"

  The purple electric sword stabbed into the armor on the puppet's body, making a dull sound, but it couldn't damage it in the slightest.

  "Hiss!"

  Another puppet's long spear thrust over.

  Li Hui hastily withdrew his flying sword and dodged to the side.

  "Huff... Hiss!"

  Eighteen puppets launched a full-scale attack, with positions both near and far, forming a joint attack between them. Li Hui was trapped in the formation for a moment, unable to break through left or right.

  "Knock knock knock!"

  In the distance, those nine puppets using flying swords are also closing in.

  Li Hui felt a slight sense of urgency in his heart. If those nine puppets were to join the battle, using flying swords for long-range attacks and coordinating with these eighteen puppets for close combat, it would be even more difficult to escape.

  A faint stir in his heart, Li Hui's body suddenly emitted a faint red-golden light, and he seemed to have grown much taller, with a solemn expression on his face, which was the manifestation of "Red Gold Body" operating at full strength.

  "Kill!"

  Li Hui let out a light cry, and the purple electric sword in his hand shone brightly as he flew towards a puppet in front of him.

  "Hee hee hee!"

  Several puppets around him held long spears in their hands and stabbed at Li Hui together.

  Li Hui dodged left and right, avoiding all these attacks, but still charged towards the puppet he had locked onto earlier.

  The puppet naturally wouldn't dodge or flinch, and mechanically swung its long spear at Li Hui.

  "Boom!"

  The purple electric sword struck the puppet, and a surge of power burst out from Li Hui's arm. The puppet's body paused slightly before flying backward and falling several meters away.

  The momentum of the combined attack suddenly revealed a flaw, and at this time, those nine puppets using flying swords felt that a burst of flying sword breaking through the air came.

  Li Hui wouldn't let go of the opportunity in front of him. With a flash of his body, he had already escaped from the predicament and then accelerated to the extreme, swiftly dashing forward.

  Those nine flying swords all missed their mark, and the other puppets also stopped attacking, "dashing" to chase after Li Hui in the direction he had left.
