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 favonovel.com 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, favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com had to be on alert for any incoming arrow projectiles while taking care to evade the steel wires which would appear out of nowhere, favonovel.com was in a rather compromising position.
Swish!
Sword Energy burst forth and struck the stone wall in the distance. However, his 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 favonovel.com struggled, the tighter the web became. In just a short amount of time, favonovel.com was completely immobilized. Then, a passageway appeared below him, and favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com doesn’t know the secret behind the formation.”
Jackson’s attention was diverted. At that moment, favonovel.com was ensnared by the web.
As a seventh-rank grandmaster, favonovel.com catalyzed True Energy in the hopes of breaking free, but no matter how hard favonovel.com tried, the web did not budge at all. In an instant, the ground below favonovel.com gave way, and favonovel.com also fell into the depths.
“Mr. Cabral!” James rushed toward favonovel.com in vain.
He was too late. At that moment, only favonovel.com 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, favonovel.com did not expect it to be the terrifying Thousand- Machinery Formation.
“What should I do?” James panicked.
