Chapter 1515

A noise echoed throughout the underground palace.

“What’s that noise?”

Distraught, everyone scanned their surroundings.

At that moment, tiny holes appeared on the steel plates. Then, a strange and unpleasant odor

permeated the air.

James’ face darkened as he yelled, “Hold your breath, everyone! This is poisonous gas!”

Everyone held their breaths.

Soon, the poisonous gas filled the entire underground palace.

Swish!

An arrow was fired.

James raised his hand and slashed the Blade of Justice in his hand, which accurately slashed the

incoming arrow into two.

Swish!

One arrow… Two arrows… Ten arrows…

More and more arrows were fired from all sides.

The trapped martial artists pulled out their swords and deflected the arrows. Although the arrows were

fired at great speed, they managed to react in time and dodge the arrows. So, the arrows could not

deal any effective damage to them.

However, at that moment, a tiny steel wire suddenly came from nowhere. Then, steel wires began

striking the martial artists from all sides at great speeds.

Unable to dodge in time, a martial artist’s arm was severed.

“Damn it!’ James cursed.

Then, he raised the Blade of Justice and performed the Thirteen Heavenly Swords to their perfection.

Thirteen waves of Sword Energy sliced at the steel wires. However, the steel wires seemed to be made

of extremely solid material. Not even the Sword Energy of James’ Thirteen Heavenly Swords could

slice them.

In just a short amount of time, the ancient martial artists who came along with James began suffering

great casualties.

In a room in the underground palace…

Seeing the desperate state James and the others were in, Lucjan burst into a peal of laughter.

Ezekiel who was beside him stroked his beard and said smilingly, “The Thousand-Machinery Formation

is ever-changing and unpredictable. This is only just the beginning. If they still can’t comprehend the

secret of the formation, they’ll be trapped inside until they die of exhaustion.”

At the same time, James continued dodging the attacks. As he had to be on alert for any incoming

arrow projectiles while taking care to evade the steel wires which would appear out of nowhere, he was

in a rather compromising position.

Swish!

“You’ve kept me waiting, James.”

Lucjan looked at James and the martial artists of the ancient martial world with a mischievous grin on

his face.

“It’d be a shame to kill you. However, since you insisted on making my life difficult, I have no choice but

to get rid of you. I will first capture you and lure the others here. After killing you, I will inject Gu venom

into your body and control you.”

“Lucjan…” James’ face darkened, and he said coldly, “You will not leave this place alive.”

Holding the Blade of Justice in his hand, he charged violently toward Lucjan. Meanwhile, Lucjan hastily

retreated. By the time James arrived at Lucjan’s location, he was already gone without a trace. Just as

he was about to give chase, unusual changes occurred in the surroundings.

This was an underground palace around 1000 square meters in area. Steel plates suddenly emerged

from the surrounding walls.

Boom!

Just as James was dazed by the changes, a loud noise reverberated throughout the underground

palace. James turned his head and realized that the passageway further ahead was blocked by a stone

wall. “Oh no.”

At that moment, James had a bad feeling.

He knew that this place would be full of traps. However, to save the abducted martial artists and

annihilate the Gu Sect, he came nonetheless.

He hurriedly retreated and met up with Jackson and the others.

Wearing a grim expression, Jackson said, “The way back has been blocked.”

Crack!

A noise echoed throughout the underground palace.

“What’s that noise?”

Distraught, everyone scanned their surroundings.

At that moment, tiny holes appeared on the steel plates. Then, a strange and unpleasant odor

permeated the air.

James’ face darkened as he yelled, “Hold your breath, everyone! This is poisonous gas!”

Everyone held their breaths.

Soon, the poisonous gas filled the entire underground palace.

At the same time, James continued dodging the attacks. As he had to be on alert for any incoming

arrow projectiles while taking care to evade the steel wires which would appear out of nowhere, he was

in a rather compromising position.

Swish!

Sword Energy burst forth and struck the stone wall in the distance. However, hi’s Sword Energy could

not deal any effective damage to the stone wall.

Just as James was busy evading the projectiles, a huge web suddenly fell from above. Unable to

dodge in time, an ancient martial artist was ensnared. The more he struggled, the tighter the web

became. In just a short amount of time, he was completely immobilized. Then, a passageway appeared

below him, and he fell into the depths. The passageway was sealed shut immediately after.

Soon, more and more ancient martial artists were trapped and fell into the depths.

“James, this is the Thousand-Machinery Formation!”

Jackson’s voice came from afar.

Upon hearing this, James momentarily froze before asking, “What is the Thousand-Machinery

Formation?”

“It is a formation created by Lazarus Zayden, a renowned tactician and strategist of the Three

Kingdoms Period. It is created specifically to deal with extremely powerful martial artists. Legend has it

that this formation has a thousand different forms. Even a legendary martial artist would be trapped

inside if he doesn’t know the secret behind the formation.”

Jackson’s attention was diverted. At that moment, he was ensnared by the web. As a seventh-rank

grandmaster, he catalyzed True Energy in the hopes of breaking free, but no matter how hard he tried,

the web did not budge at all. In an instant, the ground below him gave way, and he also fell into the

depths. “Mr. Cabral!”

James rushed toward him in vain. He was too late.

At that moment, only he remained in the underground palace. Everyone else had been captured.

“Damn it!” James cursed.

He knew that this place would be full of traps. However, he did not expect it to be the terrifying

Thousand- Machinery Formation.

“What should I do?” James panicked.
