Chapter 2258 Stranger
Matthew took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
His heart was still beating fast, but his thoughts were becoming clearer.
He knew that panicking would only put him in deeper trouble, and only by thinking calmly could he find the key to breaking the impasse.
He closed his eyes and felt the power fluctuations of the formation again. He tried to find the hidden flaws in every flash of runes and every flow of mana.
Sweat dripped from his forehead and wet his collar.
At this critical moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, each thought was like a glimmer of light in the darkness, and he desperately grasped these glimmers, trying to find the key to breaking the formation.
However, the power of the formation was too strong, like an invisible cage that trapped him tightly inside.
"Master, the person who sets up this kind of formation usually goes inside the formation to control it personally!"
Just as Matthew was racking his brains over how to break the formation, Liu Yulong's voice rang in his mind again.
This voice was like a thunder, instantly making Matthew's thoughts much clearer.
"Yes! Why didn't I think of this!" Matthew's heart was shocked, and a glimmer of enlightenment flashed in his eyes.
He immediately contacted Lan Yue in the Qinglong bracelet and asked her to help observe the situation inside the magic circle.
Lan Yue's pupil power is far beyond that of ordinary people, and perhaps she can discover some details that he has overlooked.
"Yulong, take a closer look. Is this magic circle really an ancient sealing magic circle?"
Matthew asked via voice transmission, with a hint of urgency in his tone.
Liu Yulong's voice came quickly, with a hint of solemnity: "Master, this formation does have the aura of an ancient sealing formation, but it does not seem to be complete. Its core part seems to have been modified artificially, causing the power of the formation to be unstable. Moreover, I feel a weak aura fluctuation inside the formation, as if someone is controlling it."
Matthew was immediately delighted when he heard this.
If the core of the array has been tampered with, it means it is not invulnerable.
As long as we find the person who controls the formation, we may be able to break it.
"Master, be careful. The person controlling the magic circle is likely nearby and may attack at any time." Liu Yulong warned.
Matthew nodded, secretly alert.
He did not act rashly, but continued to observe the changes in the magic circle.
He summoned the Sky Punishment Sword, which was suspended at his side. The runes on the sword flickered with faint light, as if waiting for its master's orders.
"We can't attack the magic circle rashly now, otherwise we might alert the enemy." Matthew said to himself.
He knew that the person controlling the magic circle was most likely observing him in the dark, and once he revealed a flaw, the other party would launch a fatal attack.
Matthew's eyes swept across the magic circle, trying to find the faint breath fluctuation.
His spiritual sense was like an invisible net, slowly spreading out, carefully capturing every movement around him.
After a moment, his eyes locked on the southeast corner of the magic circle.
There was a rune whose light was fainter than the other runes, as if it had been deliberately hidden.
"That's it!"
Matthew's heart moved, and he immediately moved slowly in that direction.
He moved extremely carefully, fearing to alert the person controlling the magic circle.
The Heavenly Punishment Sword was suspended at his side, ready to attack at any time.
Just as Matthew was about to approach the rune, a violent wave suddenly came from the magic circle.
A black shadow rushed out from the corner of the magic circle, so fast that its movements were almost invisible.
The black shadow held a short black blade in his hand, with a cold light flashing on the blade, and it was aiming straight at Matthew's throat.
"It's coming!" Matthew sneered in his heart and quickly stepped back to avoid the fatal blow from the black shadow.
Under his control, the Heavenly Punishment Sword turned into a purple light and shot towards the black shadow.
The black shadow reacted extremely quickly, dodging like a ghost and avoiding the attack of the Heavenly Punishment Sword.
Its body moved quickly within the magic circle, as if it had merged into one with the circle, making it difficult to track it.
"Humph, what a small trick!"
Matthew snorted coldly and flicked his finger lightly. The Sky Punishment Sword immediately split into dozens of sword shadows, blocking the black shadow's retreat route.
Seeing this, the black shadow's eyes flashed with panic, and his body quickly retreated, trying to avoid the sword shadow's attack.
However, Matthew had already anticipated its movements. The shadow of the Sword of Heavenly Punishment was like a thorn in the flesh, closely following the figure of the black shadow.
Although the black shadow was extremely fast, it was still struggling under the pursuit of the Heavenly Punishment Sword.
"Break it for me!" Matthew shouted in a low voice, and the sword shadow of the Sky Punishment Sword suddenly closed, turning into a huge sword light, slashing towards the black shadow.
The black shadow had no choice but to withstand the blow. Its body was hit by the sword light, and it immediately let out a shrill scream, flew backwards, and hit the wall of the magic circle heavily.
The power of the magic circle fluctuated violently at this moment, as if it could collapse at any time.
Seeing this, Matthew immediately seized the opportunity, and the sword light of the Heavenly Punishment Sword condensed again, slashing towards the hidden rune.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the core of the magic circle was hit by the sword light of the Heavenly Punishment Sword and instantly collapsed.
The power of the magic circle receded like the tide, and the runes around it gradually dimmed and eventually disappeared.
Matthew let out a long sigh and looked coldly at the black shadow lying on the ground.
The figure of the black shadow gradually became clear, revealing a man in a black robe.
The man's face was as pale as paper, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. It was obvious that he was seriously injured.
His eyes were full of hatred, and he stared at Matthew as if he wanted to eat him alive.
"You...you actually broke my magic circle!" the black-robed man said gritting his teeth, with a hint of disbelief in his voice.
Matthew sneered, slowly walked up to the black-robed man, and looked down at him: "You want to trap me with just an incomplete magic circle? How ridiculous."
The black-robed man's expression became even uglier, but he did not give up resistance.
Suddenly, a black talisman appeared in his hand, and a strange light flashed on the talisman.
He crushed the talisman suddenly, and a powerful force burst out and swept towards Matthew.
"Looking for death!" A hint of coldness flashed in Matthew's eyes, and a flash of sword light appeared on the Sky Punishment Sword, directly shattering that power.
The black-robed man was hit by the sword light and flew backwards, falling heavily to the ground, unable to move anymore.
Matthew walked up to the black-robed man and looked at him coldly: "Tell me, who are you? Why did you set up this magic circle?"
There is not a single demonic aura on this person, and even his cultivation level is the same as Matthew's.
This made Matthew feel confused.
Apart from the demons, who else wants to kill me?
The man in black robe raised his head with difficulty, his eyes full of resentment: "You...you can't get any information from me!"
Matthew sneered and flicked his finger lightly, sending a stream of magic power into the body of the man in black robe.
The black-robed man's body suddenly began to tremble violently, and he groaned in pain.
"It doesn't matter if you don't say anything. I have plenty of ways to make you speak." Matthew said lightly, with a hint of coldness in his tone.
