On the path to immortality, I can see destiny.

Chapter 40 Obstruction

Moreover, apart from that, it seems that no one else was seen, including the Taoist Qianyan.

Su San wondered if Daoist Qianyan was in seclusion.

However, this idea was quickly dismissed by the nearby tombstones.

Only then did he realize why Daoist Qianyan hadn't appeared for over a year.

It turns out he was already dead.

Thinking about it this way, many things do make sense. If Daoist Qianyan were still alive, Zhao Fan would not have come out alone.

No wonder Zhao Fan seemed to know nothing before; if Daoist Qianyan were here, there would be many questions that Zhao Fan would know.

All of Su San's previous doubts suddenly became clear after seeing the tomb of the Taoist Qianyan.

"Fellow Daoist Qianyan has already passed away?"

Although Su San saw the grave, she still took the initiative to ask a question.

When Su San asked about his master, Zhao Fan's eyes dimmed.

He nodded slightly and responded.

"Yes, my master passed away a year ago due to severe injuries."

Upon hearing the confirmation, Su San almost laughed. If that were the case, wouldn't he be able to invite Zhao Fan to their family?

As Su San was thinking, a slightly angry voice suddenly came from outside.

"Which fellow Daoist is here? This person has a grudge against me. I request that you release him, or don't blame me for dismantling your formation!"

The voice naturally came from the burly man outside the mountains.

Zhao Fan listened to these words without responding.

Now, playing dead is undoubtedly the best option.

Only after confirming that no one was in the cave could he possibly enter the formation to hunt down Su San.

If he responds, he will probably only enter the formation from the outside, rather than easily stepping into it.

Outside the mountain, the big man looked at the low hill in front of him with impatience and a hint of anger in his eyes.

Previously, after Zhao Fan and Su San left, the two naturally fought each other over the Blood Coral Essence.

But he didn't expect that the person had a backup plan. Not only did he take all the Blood Coral Spirit Marrow, but he also escaped by self-destructing a puppet using the formation.

All that effort for him resulted in nothing.

This infuriated him, but Zhang Tie had run away and he couldn't chase after him, yet Su San bore the mark he had left behind.

He was convinced he had to get something from the trail, so he followed the trail until he arrived here.

Seeing that no one responded from the mountain, the burly man took the initiative, condensing a fist imprint and attacking the formation.

Once the formation is attacked, it immediately activates its defenses automatically.

A golden light barrier rose up, blocking the fist imprint's attack.

However, the light barrier was far more fragile than imagined. Even without using his full strength, the big man's punch still cracked the light barrier.

Although the light barrier quickly returned to normal, the strength of the formation reassured the burly man considerably.

Then, he gathered all his blood and energy and threw a punch with all his might, shattering the barrier of the formation.

The outer array collapsed, and the illusory mountain peaks gradually disappeared, revealing the true appearance of this low mountain.

Zhao Fan never expected that the formation he had always trusted so much would be so useless, and he could only shatter it with a single punch.

He looked at the cracks on the array plate and felt extremely distressed. At the same time, he immediately poured spiritual power into the array plate to quickly repair the broken array.

Although the outermost array was broken, there are still two more arrays: the Gui Water Array and the Ding Fire Array.

The Gui Water Formation is a type of illusion formation, primarily used for creating illusions and restricting incoming enemies.

The Dinghuo Formation is an offensive formation used to kill enemies controlled by the formation.

The outermost formation is the Xin Metal Formation, primarily used for defense.

Zhao Fan's Minor Five Elements Formation is incomplete, consisting of only three types of formations.

If all five elements are complete, the formation can complement each other, and there is absolutely no possibility of breaking the formation during the Qi Refining stage.

However, the formation was incomplete at this time, so the power of a single formation was naturally greatly reduced.

Facing this burly man at the eleventh level of Qi Refining, they could only barely trap him; relying on the formation to kill him was almost impossible.

At this moment, the burly man outside the mountain, seeing how weak the formation was, had long since lost his previous vigilance and flew directly into the formation's range.

As soon as the big man entered, Zhao Fan immediately activated two formations and looked at Su San, speaking at the same time.

"Fellow Daoist, please leave immediately."

Seeing what had just happened, Su San knew that the true formation wouldn't affect the Han Dynasty for long, so he immediately began to flee.

As soon as the burly man entered the formation, a large amount of mist surged out, enveloping everything around him.

The burly man formed hand seals, and spiritual energy surged forth, transforming into a whirlwind that blew in all directions, dispersing most of the surrounding mist.

However, this alone is not enough to break the formation.

In the blink of an eye, a large amount of fog gathered around again.

At this moment, he clearly felt that the mark on Su San's body was moving rapidly and getting further and further away from him.

At this point, he realized that he had fallen into a trap. There must be someone here, and this person must have a close relationship with Su San.

The burly man felt a surge of anger. Today, he was facing these good-for-nothings who had managed to run into obstacles at every turn.

Now that he was in the middle of the formation, the big man no longer held back. He suddenly leaped up and flew into the sky.

He didn't want to waste his time dealing with these formations.

However, even after flying into the sky for a while, he couldn't shake off the surrounding mist.

Seeing that the surrounding fog showed no signs of fading, the big man knew that he must have been affected by the maze.

Although he was somewhat reluctant, he still took out a silver talisman from his storage bag.

This is a superior barrier-breaking talisman; it is effective against this kind of maze.

The burly man held the talisman, infusing it with spiritual power to quickly activate it.

As the talisman was activated, a silver light spread out.

The surrounding mist vanished instantly upon touching the silver light.

In no time, the surrounding mist dissipated, revealing the original appearance of the low hill.

He was too lazy to linger there any longer, so he chased after the trail of marks in the direction they disappeared into the distance.

They hadn't gone far when a fiery serpent descended from the sky, heading straight for the burly man.

The burly man frowned as he looked at the oncoming fire snake and threw a punch at it.

The fire serpent was much weaker than expected; it was easily shattered with a single move.

As the fiery serpent before them was shattered, several more fiery serpents materialized in the sky, swirling and charging towards the burly man.

This really angered the big man. He looked at the low hill below him and roared angrily.

"Fellow Daoist, if you're going to stop here, that's fine. But if you continue to obstruct us, be careful you don't lose your life!"

As he spoke, he raised his fist and threw a punch towards the mountain.

This punch was extremely powerful; the entire mountain trembled as the fist imprint landed.
