Tomb raiding: It all started with shocking the archaeological team.

The Nine Netherworld Calamity Formation was first recorded during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. It differs from the large-scale military formations on the battlefield that often involve tens of thousands of soldiers.

The Nine Netherworld Killing Formation employs a small number of people and is designed for small-scale killings. Its attacks are fierce and sharp, with offense as its primary focus.

The term 'Nine Netherworlds' is derived from the eight directions and the center of the earth. It refers to nine underworlds, also known as the 'Nine Netherworlds and Eighteen Purgatory'!

Therefore, this Nine Netherworld Calamity Formation consists of eighteen smaller parts, each representing one of the eighteen hells, distributed in eight directions, with two hells arranged in each direction, one for attack and one for support.

The remaining two prisons were the vanguard of the entire Nine Netherworld Killing Formation, namely the six bronze-armored ghosts wielding bronze swords who forced Chen Yibai into the formation.

There are three people in each prison, so there are fifty-four people in the eighteen prisons of the Nine Netherworld Killing Array!

Once trapped in the formation, the vanguard is responsible for the main attack, while the eight directions surround the entire formation tightly, coordinating the ambush and kill. It's like a trapped beast struggling, unable to escape!

Because the defining characteristic of this Nine Netherworld Killing Formation is killing, it doesn't have any particularly obvious flaws or weaknesses.

To break through the formation, we must first take down the six vanguards responsible for the main attack, and then defeat the eighteen prisoners one by one.

It sounds simple, but the bronze armor covered with the secret characters of Zhu You was incredibly sturdy. For Chen Yibai in his current state, he couldn't break it with just a bronze sword in his hand.

"Woo... Moo... woo..."

Chen Yibai's two seemingly effortless dodges just now seemed to have angered the spellcaster once again, and the incantations in the hall gradually became deeper and more urgent.

The six bronze-armored demons simultaneously raised their bronze swords and continued to thrust them at Chen Yibai in unison.

It was unrealistic for Chen Yibai to fight six people at once, so he could only retreat quickly, but his retreat was cut off by Chang Ge from the side.

The axe that had just missed its target also swept horizontally at the waist.

The three-sided attack formed a triangular formation, leaving Chen Yibai with nowhere to retreat and nowhere to avoid it.

This is the domineering nature of the Nine Netherworld Killing Formation, forcing those trapped to have nowhere to hide and only to confront it head-on.

However, facing the rock-solid bronze armor, it is impossible to break through without a force of a thousand pounds, so a direct confrontation would undoubtedly be like throwing an egg against a rock.

This is also the main reason why the caster chose to set up the Nine Netherworld Killing Array here.

At this critical moment, Chen Yibai felt as if he were trapped in a dead end.

Am I, a dignified tomb raider, going to have to blow out the candles and pull out the wax here today?

Wouldn't that mean the tomb raiders would be wiped out here?

In a desperate situation, Chen Yibai's peripheral vision suddenly fell on a pillar next to him. A flash of inspiration struck him, and he quickly retreated to avoid the long spear. He then followed up with a forward roll to dodge the horizontal sweep of the axe and nimbly rushed to the pillar next to him.

Clang! Clang clang!!

Several bronze swords with sharp blades came after him, swishing past Chen Yibai's head and striking the pillar, sending flying shards of stone flying all over Chen Yibai's face.

Fortunately, we escaped unscathed.

However, driven by the ghostly incantations, the six bronze-armored demons in front of him gave Chen Yibai no chance to catch his breath and continued to slash and stab at him.

Chen Yibai followed suit, quickly circling the two-meter-diameter cylinder to dodge, staging a real-life version of the King of Qin circling the pillar.

This method does indeed work.

The six bronze-armored demons, acting as the main attackers in the formation, wielded bronze swords and frantically slashed and thrust, but Chen Yibai dodged them all by staying close to the pillars.

As for the long spear and bronze axe, they had completely lost their function at this point, perhaps because they were afraid of repeating the accidental injury incident from before, so they could only stand still.

Within the Nine Netherworld Killing Formation, apart from the two prisons which are responsible for the main attack, the rest of the positions are fixed and cannot be moved.

Because if there is any movement, the entire airtight formation will be disrupted, and the prey trapped inside will easily escape.

After successfully dodging several times in a row, Chen Yibai was overjoyed, as it seemed that he had found a way to break the formation!

This Nine Netherworld Killing Formation originally had no obvious flaws or weaknesses.

The only way to break through the formation is through a strong attack; otherwise, certain death is inevitable.

But as the saying goes, every cloud has a silver lining. This great hall was carved out of the mountain, and to prevent it from collapsing, many stone pillars were left behind.

This forced the Nine Netherworld Killing Array to be placed within these stone pillars, which became the weakness of the entire array.

As long as you are agile enough, you can dodge the main attack of the six bronze-armored ghosts by constantly circling around the pillars!

The other bronze-armored demons couldn't move and could only stare helplessly.

"Moo!"

The hoarse incantation suddenly changed tone, as if the caster hiding in the shadows realized that Chen Yibai had discovered the flaw in the Nine Netherworld Killing Array, so his emotions obviously fluctuated greatly, and his surging killing intent was filled with anger and resentment.

"Are you fucking in a hurry?"

Hearing the hoarse, angry incantations, Chen Yibai felt a surge of satisfaction despite the chilling murderous intent.

However, it's not feasible to just keep circling the pillar like that.

Chen Yibai was just a mortal with limited physical strength. He absolutely could not afford to fight these bronze-armored ghosts and the mysterious spellcasters behind them.

At most, we can only buy time and gain a little breathing space. The most important thing now is to find a way to break this Nine Netherworld Killing Formation.

Otherwise, they will all die in the end.

Since the stone pillars here have become the weakness of the Nine Netherworld Killing Formation, Chen Yibai has already thought of another way to break the formation!

As mentioned earlier, 'Nine Netherworlds' is derived from the eight directions and the center of the earth, hence it is also called 'Nine Netherworlds and Eighteen Purgatory Hells'.

Sixteen of the eighteen prisons are distributed in eight directions within the formation, while the other two are the main targets.

So what about the center of 'Nine Netherworlds'?

Each formation has a commander, who is also the core of the formation.

At the center of the 'Nine Netherworlds' is the commander-in-chief position that controls the entire Nine Netherworld Calamity Formation!

Therefore, Chen Yibai boldly speculated that the mysterious spellcaster with the hoarse voice was hiding in the center of the Nine Netherworld Killing Array!

To break the formation, besides first dealing with the six vanguard bronze-armored ghosts and then defeating the eighteen hells one by one, there is another method.

Another method is to strike at the heart of the enemy's territory, with a massive army taking the enemy general's head from the center!

These bronze-armored demons are all driven and controlled by incantations and spells.

Once the mysterious sorcerer hiding in the center of the formation is eliminated, these bronze-armored demons driven by incantations will naturally crumble on their own.

In fact, Chen Yibai had already had this idea in his mind for a long time.

However, trapped in the Nine Netherworld Killing Formation, with nowhere to retreat or avoid, breaking out would be as difficult as ascending to heaven, let alone rushing into the center of the formation, which would be even more unrealistic.

But now that the flaw in the Nine Netherworld Killing Formation has been discovered, anything is possible if these pillars are used properly.

"Do you think you're absolutely safe by cowering in the middle of the formation and chanting like a turtle?"

Chen Yibai gazed into the depths of the main hall, his face revealing a resolute yet incredibly confident and enigmatic expression.

"I'm coming to meet you. No matter if you're the Prince of Kang or some kind of ghost or evil spirit, you'll all have to kneel before me!"
