The moment the black hand touched the double-layered shield on his body, Xu Fei used the force to propel himself, instantly creating a great distance.
“You can’t escape, I told you I’ve obtained the temple’s inheritance, I am the master here!”
Seeing Xu Fei still resorting to his old tactic of creating distance, Ichio Kawashima couldn’t help but laugh.
This move had been foolproof before, after all, Xu Fei was a battle-hardened veteran, an expert in devising various tactics.
Moreover, Kawashima knew nothing about such strategies, so he had suffered quite a few losses.
But times had changed, now Kawashima felt he could crush Xu Fei with absolute power.
No matter how Xu Fei tried to escape, create distance, or devise so-called tactics, it was now largely ineffective.
The black yin energy within Kawashima slowly seeped out, tainting many of the murals on the walls black.
When Xu Fei had been on his way, he only sensed that the murals might contain secrets about the underground temple.
That wasn’t wrong, but Xu Fei had misjudged one thing, the murals didn’t solely record past secrets and history.
Many also documented various defensive and offensive formations, all left by the temple’s original master to prevent outsider invasions.
Though they were now defunct, it was only because too much time had passed, and the energy sustaining the formations had been depleted.
Kawashima, having arrived much earlier than Xu Fei, had long studied how to activate these formations.
Now, using his yin energy as the power source, Kawashima could claim to be the absolute ruler in this underground palace! An absolute god!
Several formations had already been activated, and new beast hordes had been unleashed.
At this moment, Xu Fei stood on an unknown formation, pursued by countless beasts, seemingly cornered.
But this was merely Kawashima’s wishful thinking.
The real Xu Fei had long since hidden in a corner of the underground palace, quietly biding his time.
At the start, Xu Fei had indeed been a bit flustered.
After all, he was alone, and as the old saying goes, two fists can’t fight four hands, he couldn’t possibly handle so many formations and beast hordes at once.
With difficulty, Xu Fei used his old methods to regain control of a group of beasts, finally freeing himself to assess the situation.
The residual yang energy he released happened to touch a formation on the wall in this corner.
“No way? Even hiding here won’t let me escape!”
Just as Xu Fei thought he had to keep fighting, he didn’t expect that, once triggered, this formation began helping him fend off another beast horde.
Seeing this, Xu Fei suddenly had a revelation!
“If that guy can control the temple’s formations with his yin energy, then why can’t I do the same with my yang energy?”
No sooner said than done, Xu Fei infused his yang energy into his palm and struck the walls repeatedly.
Soon, all sorts of formations were triggered.
The beast hordes sent by Kawashima were, without exception, entirely wiped out by the formations.
