Jiang Chen ignored Lin Tianxiong's wild laughter, his eyes fixed intently on the shimmering formation around them.
Suddenly, a familiar voice echoed in his mind:
[Ding! You have observed the Three Absolute Formation, triggering a hundredfold comprehension!]
[Ding! You have comprehended the method to break the Three Absolute Formation.]
In an instant, detailed information about the formation, including its weaknesses and the method to dismantle it, appeared clearly in Jiang Chen's mind.
"Qingxue, attack the formation with all your strength," Jiang Chen instructed calmly.
Meng Qingxue nodded, summoning a silver long sword out of thin air. With a graceful arc, she swung it, sending a sharp blade of energy toward the barrier.
The formation trembled violently under the strike, drawing a flicker of concern on Lin Tianxiong's face.
"Master Gong," Lin Tianxiong asked, his voice tinged with worry, "are you certain your formation can hold them?"
Master Gong's expression remained confident. "Relax. This girl's attack is strong but still within the limits of the Qi Protection Realm. My Three Absolute Formation is a third-tier array. Unless they're at the Foundation Opening Realm, brute force alone won't break it."
"The Three Absolute Formation cuts off all vitality. Once they're trapped inside, they'll suffocate in no time."
True to his words, the formation soon stabilized, its shimmering light undisturbed.
Inside the barrier, Meng Qingxue's face hardened. "Jiang Chen, this formation is at least third-tier. Our Qi Protection strength won't be enough to break it with force."
"This is a powerful killing array. If we can't escape soon, we'll be trapped here."
Jiang Chen smiled faintly. "This is indeed the Three Absolute Formation, a basic third-tier array. Its purpose is to cut off all vitality, ensuring the targets suffocate inside. Powerful, yes—but flawed."
He glanced at her confidently. "This array is full of weaknesses. The old man barely scratched the surface of its design."
Meng Qingxue's eyes widened in disbelief. "You… You understand formations?"
"Just a little." Jiang Chen's lips curved into a slight smile. "Enough to dismantle this one."
Meng Qingxue stood stunned. This guy… How is he capable of everything?
She had always prided herself on her talent, but Jiang Chen continually exceeded her expectations. His martial prowess, alchemical genius, and now his knowledge of formations—it was overwhelming.
Is there anything he can't do?
Jiang Chen's voice broke her thoughts. "Let's break this formation. Staying inside here isn't exactly comfortable."
He turned his gaze toward Lin Tianxiong and the others outside, his voice echoing confidently.
"Haha, Lin Tianxiong! Did you really think you could kill me with a formation this flawed?"
