Roooar!
An enraged bellow came from the distance. Wang Chong’s forces, which had been suppressed by the power of the Hundred Thousand God-Devil Execution Formation, had instantly been reinvigorated and had turned tounch a fierce counterattack.
Hou Junji was shaken.
“How?!”
Far in the back, Eastern Pce guard captain Fei Yuhan had also sensed the shift in the distance, and could not help but be astonished.
He had taken part in theying down of the Hundred Thousand God-Devil Execution Formation, and it was precisely for this reason that he understood how powerful it was. But Wang Chong was somehow able to use his formation to fight against it, still fighting equally despite being outnumbered by the forces of Duan Zhuyan, Lu Qiongji, and Huang Tianzhao. This was simply absurd!
But there was no question that Wang Chong’s forces had received a second wind.
“Wonderful!”
Li Jingzhong sighed in relief, the panic gradually leaving his pale face.
The expressions of Li Heng and Miyasame Ayaka also greatly rxed.
“Senior, how is it?”
Wang Chong raised his teacup and smirked.
Just like the Hundred Thousand God-Devil Execution Formation, Wang Chong’s Origin Immortal Formation had only been in its nascent form. In order to disy its true might, it needed the right terrain and to absorb enough energy.
The Lone Silence Ancestor was a peak Great General expert of prodigious strength. After Wang Chong left, the Lone Silence Ancestor had been constantly pouring energy into the Energy Condensation Pearl, allowing the formation to slowly increase in power.
“It seems like I’ve really been underestimating you. This formation alone makes you worthy of being Su Zhengchen’s disciple. I suppose that you have not shamed him!”
Hou Junji had soon rposed himself, and as he looked at Wang Chong, he had a faint look of approval on his face.
“But this is still far from enough. This Origin Immortal Formation of yours truly does appear rather exquisite, but its scale is a little too small, and it isn’t even on the same level of strength as my formation, merely a rabbit trying to fight a lion, a mantis trying to stop a carriage. Even if you can hold out for a moment, you’ll still lose eventually. Your formation can’tst for very long!”
“Having more men isn’t necessarily a good thing. If that were really the case, Senior would not have gained your reputation as the Army-Shattering War God. This is a principle in the art of war, and it is also one in the art of formations.”
“Is that so?”
Hou Junji simply chuckled in reply.
The two of them stared silently at each other, the wind blowing between them. Everything soon fell quiet, the moment seeming to be frozen in time.
But while Wang Chong and Hou Junji were quiet and still, the battle at the three gates was only intensifying.
......
“Mountain River Cyclic sh!”
At the Kun Gate, Li Siye swung his giant sword, unleashing a grandiose wave of saber energy that swept toward Duan Zhuyan. The power of this attack was so great that it seemed capable of cleaving the gate in half.
“Peerless Zhuyan!”
At the same time, in front of the gate, Duan Zhuyan’s body erupted with red light, and as he charged forward with astonishing speed, he swept his spear forward. The massive Zhuyan ape jumped from his body and stood in front of the saber energy.
Boom!
The giant Zhuyan crossed its arms and roared as it blocked Li Siye’s frightening blow. But a secondter, the Zhuyan’s arms exploded and the immense body shattered like porcin. The remnants of the saber energy continued onward and mmed into Duan Zhuyan, but the impact was like that of metal shing.
Rumble!
As Li Siye battled with Duan Zhuyan, their formations were also bashing against each other like two shing gears turning.
Whoosh!
Gouts of fierce me appeared in the skies, followed by azure frost that threatened to turn cavalry into pirs of ice.
These mes and froststed for only brief moments before vanishing.
At the same time, a group of Imperial Army soldiers bellowed and thrust their spears, but their targets vanished into nothing.
“Ah!”
This was the power of the Origin Immortal Formation!
As the two formations intersected and the soldiers on both sides prated deep into the ranks of the other side, the formations rapidly lost power. The mes, frost, and illusions only appeared at the points of intersection, but they would never appear on the enemy side.
This was two formations exhausting each other of their power.
The same situation was taking ce at the Center Gate and Qian Gate.
As time slowly passed, soldiers continued to die, and the sounds of fighting prated through the Imperial Pce and traveled far into the distance.
“It’s about ready!”
Meanwhile, Hou Junji smiled, his fingers once more picking up a piece from the jar next to him.
This normal action immediately made him the center of attention. Miyasame Ayaka, Li Jingzhong, and Li Heng all became extremely uneasy.
Everyone knew that the elder in ck was the First Prince’s greatest strategist and the primary architect of this rebellion. His every action had a special meaning behind it, and in taking up this piece, he signaled that the entire battlefield was about to change.
“Those stories iming that rabbits can fight against lions are merely fairytales. At this point, your formation must be just about out of energy!”
ck! Hou Junji ced his second piece on the board.
Boom!
As the piece fell, another dazzling pir of violet energy soared into the air, a wave of energy sweeping out from the depths of the Imperial Pce.
Crack!
An earth-shattering crack came from the direction of the three gates, causing everyone to pale.
......
“Sun Moon Cyclic sh!
“Constetion Cyclic sh!”
At the Kun Gate, Li Siye and his sword were like the legendary Mighty Miracle God, shing at Duan Zhuyan again and again.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Under Li Siye’s immense pressure, Duan Zhuyan was using every technique he had, his position constantly shifting around. The giant Zhuyan grew evenrger and redder as he poured in more energy, but there was still a gap in power he could not ovee.
Duan Zhuyan was in an almost entirely defensive position against Li Siye’s overwhelming power and had no opportunity to counterattack. Moreover, he was relyingpletely on his special suit of armor to block Li Siye’s Wootz Steel sword.
Even so, each of Li Siye’s shes forced Duan Zhuyan back several dozen feet.
“Myriad Forms Cyclic sh!”
Li Siye was getting stronger as the battle went on, and as his sword spun in the air, he leapt up and unleashed a dazzling wave of energy at Duan Zhuyan.
Boom!
But just when Li Siye leapt into the air, there was a peal of thunder, and the formation power that had strengthened Li Siye this entire time instantly vanished. At the same time, the power of the Origin Immortal Formation dropped several levels, and the halos under the Mo Saber Unit soldiers vanished and dimmed until only a single, flickering one remained.
Li Siye instantly creased his brow upon seeing this.
At the same time, another wave of violet energy thundered past the gate. The Imperial Army soldiers had already been strengthened, but they now grew even stronger, their halos growing even brighter.
“An excellent chance!”
Duan Zhuyan and his sharp instincts immediately noticed this shift. Boom! He immediately mobilized the power of the formation, and streams of Ster Energy began to leave the bodies of the Imperial Army soldiers and gather within him.
Duan Zhuyan was already incredibly strong, and with the power of the formation, he ascended to an astonishing level of power.
“Primeval Zhuyan!”
Duan Zhuyan roared, his body erupting with light that was brighter than the sun.
“All soldiers, charge and kill them all!”
Duan Zhuyan shot forward like a cannonball, leaving behind a blur in the air as he mmed into Li Siye.
Roooar!
With a heaven-shaking roar, the giant Zhuyan suddenly turned into a red light, attaching to Duan Zhuyan’s spear. A momentter, a vast beam of energy shot out of the tip of Duan Zhuyan’s spear.
Boom!
Duan Zhuyan’s immense strength made Li Siye tremble, the shock tearing a wound in his hand. Blood gushed out as the force mmed Li Siye into the ground.
Neigh!
The Ferghana steed’s legs bent as it hit the ground, almost snapping. Even with Li Siye’s Ster Energy protecting it and lessening the impact, the Ferghana steed still bled from its orifices.
“Die for me!”
After sending Li Siye back to the ground, Duan Zhuyan continued the assault, descending to the ground like a furious dragon.
“Bastard!”
Li Siye’s eyes gleamed with bloody light as he red at Duan Zhuyan.
The Ferghana steed had been with him through many fierce battles, including the Battle of Ts.
He owed much of his survival to this mighty steed, but one blow from Duan Zhuyan’s spear had almost killed it. This made Li Siye’s heart erupt with mes of anger.
Moreover, this battle had the entire fate of the empire on the line. Defeat was not an option!
