Chapter 59: The Dunjia Arts of the Qimen Sect (Part V)

When Li Chengfeng shouted the two words "Form array!" while continuously changing his hand incantations and pointing toward the center of the Protective Formation of the Twelve Divine Generals of the Six Dings, Six Jia, Six Yins, and Six Yangs,

a stream of primordial essence and vital breath shot forth from his index and middle fingers, plunging straight into the heart of the array. The formation activated instantly, and a Taiji symbol suddenly materialized in the center, radiating brilliant golden and azure light.

Seeing that the grand array had been successfully activated, Li Chengfeng hurriedly took two steps forward, entering the Taiji circle glowing with azure and gold. This precise location was the spiritual eye of the Protective Formation of the Twelve Divine Generals of the Six Dings, Six Jia, Six Yins, and Six Yangs.

As Li Chengfeng stepped into the Taiji circle, his hand gestures shifted once more, followed by a resounding roar:

"Six Dings and Six Jia, Six Yins and Six Yangs, Twelve Divine Generals, take your positions!"

The moment his voice fell, azure light flashed on the Six Dings divine posts to his right, and six divine generals clad in azure armor simultaneously appeared on the six posts, guarding Li Chengfeng's right flank.

At the same time, golden light shone brightly on the Six Jia divine posts to his left, where six divine generals clad in golden armor simultaneously materialized on the six posts, guarding Li Chengfeng's left flank.

Occupying the Six Dings and Six Jia posts respectively, the twelve divine generals formed a perfect Taiji circle with Li Chengfeng protected securely at the center. Here, no evil spirits could approach, no phantoms could invade; subduing demons and vanquishing devils, their divine might manifested in the world.

This was precisely the Dunjia formation of the Qimen school—the Protective Formation of the Twelve Divine Generals of the Six Dings, Six Jia, Six Yins, and Six Yangs—whose profound mysteries defied human explanation.

Standing within the Taiji circle, Li Chengfeng turned his head to the right to glance at the Six Dings divine generals, and then turned his head to the left to gaze at the Six Jia divine generals.

Every divine general held a divine weapon and wore a solemn expression, yet their eyes remained closed, keeping them as motionless as statues.

Observing the divine generals on both his left and right, Li Chengfeng felt a secret surge of astonishment. The Dunjia formation of the Qimen school truly lived up to its legendary reputation, actually capable of summoning divine generals to protect the body and exterminate demons and devils.

Although the twelve divine generals manifested before him were not their true physical bodies, but merely a wisp of divine consciousness, their might could not be underestimated. Dealing with a mere feline corpse was more than enough.

If he had been able to summon the true physical forms of the twelve divine generals of the Six Dings and Six Jia, that little cat would likely have been torn to shreds in an instant, its soul scattered to the winds.

Standing within the Taiji circle, Li Chengfeng turned his gaze toward the little feline corpse outside the door, let out a cold snort, and began to drive the grand array.

Simultaneously, the cat corpse crouching outside the door suddenly exerted force with its hind legs, uttering a shrill, piercing cry. With a single leap, it lunged straight toward Li Chengfeng inside the Hall of Fate.

Just as the cat corpse was about to leap into the Hall of Fate, its front half already crossing the threshold,

at that very moment, following a change in Li Chengfeng's hand incantations and a booming shout, azure light suddenly flashed at the Dinghai position on the right side of the doorway. Divine General Zhang Wentong instantly materialized, blasting the cat corpse back outside the door.

The cat corpse, knocked flying, scrambled up from the ground, shook its withered head, and let out an angry screech. It resumed its pouncing posture, its two hind legs bending and storing power as it prepared to charge the formation once more.

Using a slaughter knife meant for oxen to kill a chicken—deploying the Protective Formation of the Twelve Divine Generals of the Six Dings, Six Jia, Six Yins, and Six Yangs was precisely using an ox knife to kill a tiny chicken.

Standing within the Taiji circle, Li Chengfeng shifted his hand incantations to point toward the Jiaxu divine position, chanting words under his breath:

"Divine General of the Jiaxu position, heed my command, open the array gate!"

The instant Li Chengfeng's voice dropped, golden light flashed at the Jiaxu position, and Divine General Zhan Zijiang vanished in an instant. A gap appeared in the grand array, and the cat corpse lunged forward at that exact moment, entering the Protective Formation of the Twelve Divine Generals of the Six Dings, Six Jia, Six Yins, and Six Yangs through the breach.

Once the cat corpse entered the array, Li Chengfeng changed his hand gestures and pointed toward the Jiaxu position once again, chanting:

"Divine General of the Jiaxu position, heed my command, close the array gate!"

Concurrently, golden light flashed once more, and Divine General Zhan Zijiang of the Jiaxu position abruptly reappeared upon his post, sealing the gap from a moment ago.

As soon as the cat corpse was trapped within the array, Li Chengfeng changed his hand incantations and chanted:

"Six Dings and Six Jia, Six Yins and Six Yangs, Twelve Divine Generals, heed my command! Open your divine eyes, draw your divine weapons, slash the demons and exterminate the devils, protect my true body—ordained!"

The moment the word of command fell, he pointed his hand incantation toward the cat corpse. Simultaneously, the twelve divine generals who had previously kept their eyes closed like statues suddenly snapped their eyes open, staring in unison at the cat corpse trapped within the array.

Only then did the cat corpse realize something was amiss. It tried to escape the array, but it was far too late; it could find no exit whatsoever. Every direction was guarded by a divine general. Instead, letting out an enraged shriek, it lunged at one of the divine generals.

With wide, angry eyes, the twelve divine generals began to wield the divine weapons in their hands. Every time a divine weapon pointed toward the cat corpse, a stream of azure or golden light shot forth from the weapon, striking the cat corpse directly.

Standing upon their respective posts, the twelve divine generals continuously brandished their divine weapons. In an instant, azure light flickered and golden light blazed brilliantly, assailing the cat corpse as it darted about seeking cover.

No matter how the cat corpse dodged, it was still inevitably struck by the golden and azure light. Within moments, its entire body was covered in wounds.

Whenever the azure radiance or golden light hit the cat corpse, heart-rending shrieks of agony would ring out from the beast.

"Meow, meow..."

Wounded time and time again, the cat corpse was thoroughly enraged, violently shaking its withered belly.

Immediately afterward, a crow and a bat were seen flying out from the cat's belly, darting swiftly toward Li Chengfeng, only to be intercepted by two divine generals.

A beam of azure light and a beam of golden light shot toward the crow and the bat simultaneously.

The crow and bat scrambled to dodge. After successfully evading a few attacks, they were nonetheless struck by the azure and golden light. Their spirit bodies wounded and howling in pain, they were forced to fly back into the cat's corpse.

Struck repeatedly by the azure radiance and golden light, the cat corpse's soul body suffered severe damage. Its two sunken, lifeless eyes glared resentfully at the twelve divine generals with an expression of bitter defiance, howling incessantly.

Though the cat corpse was an immensely malevolent entity, before the twelve divine generals it was mere poultry and dogs, utterly unable to withstand a single blow.

Meanwhile, Wang Bin, standing nearby, stared with a bewildered expression at Li Chengfeng and at the cat corpse leaping back and forth outside the door. Because he was an ordinary person who had never opened his spiritual vision, he could not see the twelve divine generals within the formation.

In his eyes, Li Chengfeng looked like a complete fool, gesturing wildly and muttering to himself, while that cat kept jumping back and forth at the doorway yet somehow unable to cross a certain boundary, periodically howling in rage at the empty air beside it.

To the eyes of an ordinary person, the actions of the man and the cat were bizarre in the extreme.

Filled with burning curiosity, Wang Bin walked toward Li Chengfeng, wanting to find out what he was doing.

As he drew close to him, he suddenly felt his body pass through a wall of air and instinctively closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he instantly froze in place, dumbfounded.

Although Wang Bin had not opened his heavenly eye, upon stepping directly into the grand array, he could finally perceive everything transpiring within.

What met his eyes was a vast expanse of pure white; the familiar furnishings of the Hall of Fate had long since vanished. Li Chengfeng stood atop a great Taiji circle.

Directly ahead of Li Chengfeng, twelve divine generals clad in heavy armor were wielding their divine weapons, unleashing torrents of azure and golden light that relentlessly battered the frantically dodging cat corpse.

Only now did Wang Bin understand why the cat corpse had been jumping back and forth at the doorway, and why Li Chengfeng had been pointing and muttering.

His heart was filled with incomparable shock. Could this be the Qimen Dunjia technique Li Chengfeng had spoken of?

It was simply too miraculous!
