I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 1666 - 1670: That’s Completely Unnecessary!

"Being able to miniaturize a massive formation and integrate it into a weapon..." The Fifth Prince was already sweating profusely.

They were very aware of the power of formations; setting up a formation was mentally and physically taxing, and formations were quite inflexible. Once they exceeded the range of a formation, it became useless.

But precisely because of this characteristic, formations have an incredibly high attribute in a single aspect.

An attack formation set up by an Array Master can cause destruction a level higher than their own strength, meaning a Level Three Array Master's formation can easily unleash attacks equating to those of a Martial Artist at Divine Breath Fourth Grade.

If the Array Master's prowess is even higher, or if it's an exceptionally powerful formation, the attack effect could possibly reach Fifth Grade!

If it's a defensive formation, a Level Three Array Master can easily withstand the full-force attack of a Martial Artist at Divine Breath Fourth Grade, and may even counterattack automatically relying solely on the defense formation!

However, setting up formations is highly restricted, extremely difficult, and demands stringent requirements for placement. Even a First-grade formation might need a radius of two to three meters to accommodate it.

To date, they have never heard of any formation that can be carried on a weapon or a defensive item; Zhang Menglong's creations were undeniably challenging their everyday understanding.

"Fifth Prince, it's not over yet!"

In the eyes of the Fifth Prince, Gu Xiao suddenly revealed a peculiar smile.

He always felt as if the smile hinted at something, yet he couldn't discern what it represented from this simple expression.

At that moment, the energy shield in front of him suddenly rippled, absorbing the force of his recent punch, and now it was reforming and retaliating with greater force!

The Fifth Prince suddenly felt excruciating pain in his fist, and it seemed as if the bones in his entire arm were cracking. His entire body was instantly propelled backward by the rebound force.

"Fifth Brother!" The other princes were aghast, no one expected the Fifth Prince would suffer a loss at Gu Xiao's hands!

The Fifth Prince was also quite experienced in combat, he immediately halted his body's trajectory. Although his arm seemed painfully fractured, it didn't interfere much with his combat capabilities. By this time, Zhang Menglong had vanished from his original spot!

Gu Xiao's body lacked any energy, leaving the Fifth Prince unable to determine Zhang Menglong's position based on energy fluctuations!

"How come his movement speed is so fast?" Caught off guard, the Fifth Prince did not expect this wastrel to gain some advantage through technological prowess and ruthless means!

"I don't believe it!" At this moment, the Fifth Prince grew serious, if he were to be defeated by Gu Xiao today, this would become an indelible humiliation henceforth!

The Divine Vein within the Fifth Prince's body activated, causing his aura to surge exponentially.

"Fifth Brother is getting serious."

"Indeed, he even activated his Divine Vein, Gu Xiao is actually putting him under so much pressure."

"If he had chosen us just now, we would probably have been devastated by those strange weapons."

With the activation of the Divine Vein, the Fifth Prince seemed almost entirely different from before. His sensitivity to his surroundings greatly increased; even if he couldn't locate Zhang Menglong via energy fluctuations, there's another way—through changes in the surrounding environment!

"Over there!" His gaze suddenly fixed on a spot, charging forth like a beast, his fist landed in a part of space, unexpectedly causing a sonic boom!

With a deafening crash, a body was violently hurled out, slamming against the city wall; it was none other than Gu Xiao, who had rapidly moved using unknown means!

"It's over, something happened!" The few princes were somewhat anxious, "Could Fifth Brother's seriousness have accidentally killed him?"

"The Guardians of the Gu Family are very protective of their son; otherwise, the Emperor wouldn't have granted the marriage. If he dies, our Royal Family might face the risk of breaking ties with the Gu Family."

"Break ties? No way the Emperor would break ties with the Gu Family. If something does happen, the Emperor might directly abandon Fifth Brother, that's the most likely outcome."

"Indeed, he better not let anything happen."

...

"This lad, could he really be dead?" Gu Meng and his son felt a mix of joy and a hint of worry.

The joy was naturally for using the Royal Family members to eliminate Gu Xiao, but the worry stemmed from Gu Xiao's mysterious friend.

The connection between Gu Xiao and his friend was certainly deep, otherwise, why would he go to such lengths to prepare a wedding for Gu Xiao?

If he found out Gu Xiao was accidentally killed, such a person would pose a significant threat to the entire Yanlan Empire.

Someone who can casually produce Ninth Grade elixir and weapon, is likely a Saint Grade Pill Master or Artifact Refiner, and someone of that stature could hardly be offended by the Yanlan Empire!

For nearly a minute, Gu Xiao hadn't come out from the smoky wall. The Fifth Prince went forward to see what was happening but suddenly sensed a huge crisis. From the faint smoke, a beam of light shot out once again!

This beam was purely Divine Breath Crystal energy, yet its diameter and compression level were far more powerful than the previous attack!

With no time to spare, the Fifth Prince crossed his arms in front, utilizing all his strength for defense. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Boom!"

The Fifth Prince was instantly engulfed in a frenzy of energy.

"That punch had some substance," Zhang Menglong's figure slowly emerged from the dust cloud.

The original shield had transformed into a sphere, enveloping his entire body, protecting him completely, not a speck of dust touched him.

"From such an attack, he came out unscathed?"

"The formations embedded in that shield are probably at least Fourth Grade formation! Maybe even Fifth Grade!"

"The formations on that strange weapon aren't simple either, couldn't you sense the residual shockwave from the explosion? The Fifth Prince might even have been injured!"

As the smoke cleared, the Fifth Prince's form became visible.

His sleeves were tattered, his crossed arms trembling uncontrollably, and even the redness on his arms was evident. His breathing had become erratic.

Although he hadn't sustained severe injuries earlier, this was more formidable than facing the strongest peer he ever encountered.

"What kind of weapon is this?" The Fifth Prince asked fearfully, gazing at Zhang Menglong.

"Oh, this is called the Fire Qilin," Zhang Menglong wavered the gun in hand.

"Fire Qilin? Quite a Fire Qilin," the Fifth Prince remarked, "If the power was slightly greater, I might not have been able to withstand it."

"Oh really?" Zhang Menglong clicked the gun's bolt, "That was only Level Three power; my Fire Qilin can reach Level Five power. Want to give it a try, Fifth Prince?"

"Five levels of power? And this is only Level Three?" The Fifth Prince's heart skipped.

No need for this! I just wanted to stop your wedding procession, why the hell do you want to kill me?!
