After the divorce, the CEO's ex-wife asked for forgiveness

"Mistress, young master, we must retreat. If this continues, we'll all perish here sooner or later," a swordsman warned, frantically slashing at the arrows.

Ye Feng found it strange that the arrows wouldn't stop.

Is there someone behind the scenes?

But that's not right either; the density of the arrows is too high, which is completely unreasonable.

"Could it be a hallucination?"

Thinking of this, Ye Feng slowly closed his eyes.

I thought I would be bombarded, but to my surprise, the moment I closed my eyes, my ears suddenly became quiet. Not only was I not attacked by arrows, but even the whooshing sound of arrows cutting through the air disappeared.

"It's really an illusion, stop."

Ye Feng opened his eyes and said.

Seeing this, the swordsmen suddenly realized what was happening and stopped.

suddenly,

A strange voice came from behind Tang Yiyi, "As expected of Ye Wudi's son, you saw through this."

As the sound came, an elderly man in his sixties came out.

He was none other than Situ Qi, a guest minister of the Ji family.

"Grandma, it's been a long time." He looked at the Grandma and gave her a wicked smile.

"It's you!"

Upon seeing this person, the old lady frowned.

"So it was all a conspiracy orchestrated by you. No wonder even Shangguan Han was cooperating." The old lady became wary.

From the old lady's expression, it was clear that she was very wary of this person.

Ye Feng asked, "Grandma, do you know him?"

"Of course I know him," the old lady said. "He is your mother's senior brother, Situ Qi, who specializes in studying evil and unorthodox methods. He was one of the people who framed your father back then. If you can defeat him, you might be able to find out some things about your father."

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng's eyes flashed with anger.

It turned out to be a smelly rat from the sewer.

"Haha, you think you can defeat me? Once you enter my formation, do you think you can escape?" Situ Qi said smugly.

After saying that, he revealed a cunning look in his eyes, put his hands together in front of his chest, and quickly formed a hand seal.

"All those who are facing a fight must march forward in formation!"

"Array up!"

A sharp shout.

In an instant, array patterns began to flicker on the ground where Ye Feng and the others stood.

The light patterns flickered on and off, creating a strong sense of oppression.

Soon, the entire hall and the surrounding walls, illuminated by the flickering light patterns, became eerie and terrifying.

"Hmph, you dare to cause trouble in front of me with your mere heretical and unorthodox methods?"

The old lady sneered, "Have you forgotten that twenty years ago, the formation you and your fellow disciples created together couldn't trap me?"

"Then you can try it and see if I've made any progress in the past twenty years."

Situ Qi's eyes flashed with a cold light as he quickened the speed of forming hand seals.

Suddenly, the old lady and the swordsmen felt dizzy and began to sway uncontrollably.

This feeling was like the world was turning upside down, it was incredibly uncomfortable.

"So what if we make progress?"

The old matriarch roared, "Break the formation!"

Upon hearing the sound, several swordsmen quickly scattered in all directions and then channeled their energy into their swords.

Then, he slashed out with his sword in different directions.

shhhhhhhh!

Several sword energies, carrying immense power, slashed at the light patterns of the formation.

She expected a loud bang, but to her surprise, the sword energy vanished instantly, like mud flowing into the sea.

Not even a ripple was disturbed.

"How could this be?"

The old lady was quite surprised. Her guards were all experts at the level of minor grandmaster or above, and the leader of the guards, Xu Xiao, was even at the early stage of the acquired realm. She never expected that they could not break this small formation even when they joined forces.

It seems that Situ Qi's skills have indeed improved a lot.

"Keep breaking!"

The old lady used her cane as a sword and took the lead. With a single slash of her cane, the other swordsmen quickly followed and attacked the magic circle again.

However, even with the old matriarch's involvement, the result was the same this time.

The magic array was like a vast ocean, swallowing up all their sword energy.

"Haha, it's no use."

Situ Qi said smugly, "This formation is called the 'Spirit Erosion Formation'. Any martial artist trapped in the formation will have their power severely weakened, with only one-tenth of their internal strength remaining. Even a Grandmaster at the peak will only reach the Martial Master level."

"As for you, Madam," he said, looking at her, "it seems your skill hasn't improved over the years; you're still only at the mid-stage of the Acquired Realm."

"However, within my formation, he's only at the early stage of a minor grandmaster level."

"What do you think you can do against me? Haha."

Upon hearing this, the old lady and the swordsmen were all startled.

Spirit Erosion Array?

There's actually such a formation that can weaken the opponent's strength?

"Don't try to scare me! Even if I can't break your formation, you can't kill me!" The old lady raised her cane and swung it fiercely. "Kill him!"

"As ordered!"

Several swordsmen drew their swords and charged towards Situ Qi.

shhhhhh!

The swordsmen's swordsmanship was crisp and clean, and their coordination was excellent. Xu Xiao took the lead, and the three of them launched the main attack, each move aimed at Situ Qi's vital points. Their swordsmanship was exceptionally sharp.

The other two took the opportunity to block his retreat, and no matter how Situ Qi dodged, he was immediately attacked.

Such perfect teamwork would be impossible for ordinary experts to withstand. However, to their surprise, Situ Qi successfully dodged every sword strike from the five men.

"Is this all the guards you have to do as the old lady's protectors?"

Situ Qi dodged with ease, letting out a contemptuous sound.

Xu Xiao felt frustrated. Twenty years ago, this guy couldn't even withstand ten of his moves, but now he can't even touch the hem of his clothes. It was really hard to accept.

"Pah, you rat from a stinking ditch, what skills do you have besides using these crooked tricks? If you're so capable, fight me fair and square." Xu Xiao attacked with his sword while using provocation.

However, Situ was no fool; he would not fall for it.

"The victor is king and the loser is villain; all's fair in war. Only the living are the right path; the dead have no right to preach."

After saying that, Situ Qi took a step forward and slammed a palm into Xu Xiao's chest.

Bang!

The seemingly slow palm strike was something Xu Xiao couldn't dodge at all.

With a loud thud, he was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the wall and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

It wasn't that Situ Qi was particularly skilled; rather, Xu Xiao clearly felt his speed had slowed down.

Just as the other party said, his current strength is only at the peak of the Martial Master realm, not even reaching one-tenth of his peak power.

"Trash, all of you here are trash!"

"Die!"

After defeating Xu Xiao, Situ Qi suddenly went berserk and charged at the remaining swordsmen.

Bang bang bang!

In the blink of an eye, Situ Qi moved like a tiger among sheep, knocking down four or five swordsmen and leaving them severely injured on the ground.

Seeing such a huge disparity in strength, Xu Xiao lay on the ground and shouted, "Mistress, run! You are no match for him!"

This Situ Qi is at least at the early stage of the Acquired Realm, while the Old Madam, after being weakened, has fallen out of the Acquired Realm.

He couldn't even reach the peak of the Grandmaster level.

They were no match for Situ Qi at all.
