Chapter 1834: Chapter 1833: Breaking the Formation

"Bastard! Are you playing with us? Asking just two questions on a single trip?" The rash big guy roared angrily.

Holding an oversized wolf fang club artifact, he glared murderously at Zhang Xiaohao and Zixin.

"No, how could I be playing with you? Look, I asked you a question, didn’t I give you a premium spirit stone? I asked you two questions altogether, giving you two premium spirit stones. Isn’t that enough?" Zhang Xiaohao said earnestly.

"Seems like that’s the reason!" The rash big guy nodded.

Just as he finished speaking, he immediately reacted.

"No, wait! You brat are indeed playing with us! Who asks only two questions, what are you both doing if not playing with us?" The rash big guy shouted angrily.

"Alright then! Since you discovered it, I don’t need to hide it anymore. I am indeed playing with you! Honestly, with your intelligence, it’s really worrying that you came out to be bandits!" Zhang Xiaohao said earnestly.

"Ah! You brat, how dare you to play with us, you’re courting death! Get the formation ready, finish them off!" The rash big guy roared in fury.

"Boss, we’re here to rob, we want money not lives!" said the little brother who spoke earlier.

"Right! I almost got confused because of this brat. We’re robbing for money, not lives!" The rash big guy nodded.

With a fierce glare, he coldly looked at Zhang Xiaohao.

"Brat, you’ve heard us, haven’t you? Hand over the ransom willingly, or don’t blame us for being rude!!!" The rash big guy said coldly.

"I’m giving you a choice too, do you want money or your lives? If you want to live, hand over all your loot from these years! Otherwise, you won’t need to exist." Zhang Xiaohao said seriously.

"Damn it! This brat is really too hateful, even thinking of robbing our Black Mountain Army, looks like we need to give them a lesson before they’ll hand over the treasure willingly. Activate the formation and teach them a lesson!" The rash big guy said darkly.

"Yes, Boss!" replied the Array Master who was in charge of the formation respectfully.

Immediately, he pinched with both hands and cast a magic formula, producing streaks of seals one after another.

As the seals integrated into the grand formation, the formation shuddered, conjuring sharp weapons within it.

"Brat, I’m asking you one last time, are you handing over the ransom or not? If you don’t appreciate the good, don’t blame us for being rude!" The rash big guy said coldly.

"Ha ha." Zhang Xiaohao sneered dismissively.

With a wave of his right hand, a table appeared on the ground, along with a pot of fine wine and a few exquisite dishes. He sat at the table and began eating, completely ignoring the rash big guy and his group as if they were air.

"Damn it! Since you refuse to drink the offer wine but choose the penalty wine, I’ll grant your wish! Attack!!!" The rash big guy roared.

As his words fell, tens of thousands of swords around surged with a mighty whoosh, slashing toward Zhang Xiaohao and Zixin.

Zhang Xiaohao seemed unfazed, calmly sitting at the table, casually eating and drinking.

The blades from the surrounding formation struck the Defensive Array of the Spirit Boat, sparking intense firework-like bursts.

Clang, clang, clang!!!

No matter how they manipulated the formation, they couldn’t break through the Spirit Boat’s defense.

One hour later.

Zhang Xiaohao, having eaten his fill, put down his chopsticks, took out a large cigar like a lazy panda, and casually perched his legs on the table, staring playfully at the rash big guy’s group.

"You are really useless! An hour has passed, and you still haven’t broken my Spirit Boat’s defense, you’re bringing disgrace to the promising career of banditry!" Zhang Xiaohao said playfully.

"Humph! Brat, don’t get cocky! Our Black Mountain Army has over a hundred people; even if the formation can’t break your Spirit Boat’s defense, if we all join in, one spit each can shatter it!" The rash big guy said coldly.

"What a pity! You won’t get the chance, after all this play, it’s our turn now. Zixin, break their defenses, remember, leave them alive, no killing!" Zhang Xiaohao instructed.

"Okay." Zixin nodded.

Whoosh!

Her figure flashed, already out of the Spirit Boat, standing in the sky.

"Humph! If you choose to deliver yourselves to death, I’ll oblige! Get that woman! I bet that if she falls into our hands, this brat will obediently leave the ransom!" The rash big guy said coldly.

"Yes, Boss!" The Array Master in charge of the formation responded respectfully.

Then, altering his magic formula, he controlled the surrounding formation, again conjuring formidable swords, radiating great power as soon as they appeared.

"Slash!!!" the Array Master shouted.

With his dark command, thousands of swords from the formation rushed toward Zixin from all directions.

Zixin looked coldly ahead, not bothered by the approaching blades.

As the blades neared, Zixin’s indifferent voice suddenly rang out.

"Break!"

A streak of golden light emerged from her palm, dispersing the charging swords like snow under sunlight.

Three seconds later.

Not a single blade remained, completely disintegrated by Zixin’s overpowering magic.

Whoosh!

Zixin’s figure flickered, appearing around the formation, casting a cold gaze at it.

She raised her jade hand, conjuring countless rays of golden light from her palm.

"Break!!!" Zixin shouted.

With a single slap, she struck the formation.

Crash, crash, crash!!!

Sharp cracks sounded as the grand formation crumbled under Zixin’s palm and dissolved into the air.

With the formation gone, the rash big guy and his group were fully exposed to Zixin.

"It’s your turn." Zixin said coldly.

Her jade hand rose again, pressuring the rash big guy and his crew.

"What? That’s impossible!!!" Seeing this, the rash big guy exclaimed in disbelief.
