The people from the Bai Ze lineage were quite numerous, including the two generals of Xuanming, as well as nearly a hundred disciples.
Knowing that these fifteen people were all powerful beings of the Circulation Heaven Position, they commanded, "Set up the array immediately!"
"Yes!"
A hundred disciples split to the left and right.
They began to form an array.
These one hundred plus people, the lowest among them were of the Tyrant Heavenly Rank. Although far from the strength of the Circulation Heaven Position, they had the advantage in numbers. They weren’t going for a head-to-head confrontation.
They chose to set up the array.
This would greatly increase their combat effectiveness.
The five Sect Masters of the Circulation Heaven Position, upon seeing this, charged directly towards those hundred plus people.
"Take my palm strike!"
Their palms struck out simultaneously.
Gang wind and Inner Essence erupted throughout the venue.
Tuoba Yong took two steps back and raised his hand to block: "I’ll hold them off, quickly set up the array!"
His figure flashed, meeting the charge.
Boom!
Taking on five by himself.
"Endless Ocean!"
He pushed forward with both palms.
Using his pure and vigorous Inner Essence to clash directly with those five individuals.
With a loud boom, both parties retreated, Tuoba Yong took four or five steps back.
The opposing five only staggered half a step.
"Tuoba Yong, are you seeking death?"
"Tuoba Yong, have you gone mad... Is the Jiangzhou Iron Fist King really worth it for you? Don’t forget, you are only of the Circulation Heaven Position, and we fifteen are all of the Circulation Heaven Position, what can you do to us?"
Tuoba Yong chuckled and said, "How can I know without trying? Xuanming Generals, release the poison!"
"Yes!"
The two Xuanming Generals tossed two bomb-like phials into the sky.
Tuoba Yong laughed heartily: "This was specially prepared for you, a medicine I sought on Kunlun Mountain thirty years ago, which can rob all of you of your combat abilities."
Instantly,
Smoke began to rise throughout the venue.
The five continuously retreated.
Conversely, the other ten charged towards the direction of the hall.
The leading one of the Four Saint Generals, Li Wenyuan, shouted: "Give it your all, the four of us will take on one each. The rest is up to the Thirty-six Xuantian!"
"Yes!"
At this critical moment—
Ye Wenjun’s expression was cold and indifferent as she said, "Give me the sword! I can hold off one!"
Without waiting for Shangguan Linghui to object, she drew the Water Cold Sword in one swift motion.
Cold Qi emanated!
She leapt up.
"Sky-saving Sword!"
Shangguan Linghui’s eyes widened in shock as Ye Wenjun, just like before, unleashed an earth-shattering move without regard for the strength of her enemy.
This move, Sky-saving Sword, made the whole scene dazzlingly bright.
Sword Light burst forth in all directions.
One sword stroke was directed towards the Circulation Heaven Position Sect Master of the Giant Sword Sect who was nearest.
"Little girl, you’re asking for death!"
"Break!"
Fists swung over.
In midair, two fist-sized imprints, as if slicing through space itself, collided with Sky-saving Sword.
Booming thunderously!
Sword Light scattered in all directions.
That Circulation Heaven Rank powerful being was struck by the intense impact and landed hard, his feet directly stomping into the concrete floor. Needless to say, the floor shattered!
Ye Wenjun flew backward in midair, the Water Cold Sword hanging down, then pressed downward.
Her figure stabilized!
"How is this possible?" People from the Fang Family were astounded.
Ye Wenjun’s one move, Sky-saving Sword, was actually able to match this Circulation Heaven Rank powerful being?
That Sect Master of the Giant Sword Sect, with a face full of surprise, said, "What a strange sword... You can actually withstand one of my moves?" He frowned as he sized up Ye Wenjun, "Great Heavenly Position at its peak? Tsk tsk tsk, truly inconceivable, but at the end of the day, an ant is still an ant... I’d like to see how you can withstand this move of mine!"
He charged again.
The Four Saint Generals, utilizing the Four Directions Square Formation, were barely holding off a Circulation Heaven Rank.
The remaining Thirty-six Xuantian had already started to wave the Eight Diagrams Flags.
"Here comes the poison!"
"Use Inner Essence to drive away the poison gas!"
Fifteen Circulation Heaven Position individuals each waved a hand, stirring up a scene like a gusty wind sending clouds flying.
Whoosh!
Whoosh, whoosh!
Fifteen people each executed a palm strike. The powerful Inner Essence acted like a violent wind, sweeping the poison away.
Tuoba Yong had anticipated this move and laughed, "Heavenly Gang Sword Formation! It’s complete!"
An array formed by over a hundred people, the Heavenly Gang Sword Formation!
What a spectacular scene.
At the moment when the poison dissipated.
One hundred people, divided into ten squads, launched consecutive attacks.
Swoosh.
Swoosh—
"Dammit! You’ve actually stolen the knowledge of the Heavenly Gang Sword Formation from the Five Great Divine Palaces!"
"It’s the Heavenly Gang Sword Formation! Tuoba Yong, you’re shameless!"
All fifteen of them knew exactly where this sword formation had been learned from.
This sword formation has one particularly formidable feature: the stronger the enemy, the stronger it becomes!
It follows the principle of using an opponent’s strength against them.
But the requirements for the formation’s practitioners are extremely high.
They must start practicing from a young age, with summer training during the hottest days and winter training during the coldest days, for a minimum of twenty years, perfecting their coordination every day.
In other words—
This Heavenly Gang Sword Formation, Tuoba Yong had been preparing it for at least twenty years!
How terrifying is that?
The first squad of ten charged in with their sword formation.
"Such powerful Heavenly Gang Sword Energy!"
The Sect Master of Blood Sword Hall kept retreating.
"Don’t panic, look for an opportunity to break through! They are ultimately not at the Circulation Heaven Position! They will never comprehend the strength of the Circulation Heaven Position!"
The fifteen people nodded in agreement.
One at the Circulation Heaven Position is always at the Circulation Heaven Position; those below this realm, even with the advantage of a formation, would find it difficult to defeat someone at the Circulation Heaven Position.
The Heavenly Gang Sword Formation came surging in!
"Strike now!"
Five individuals at the Circulation Heaven Position stomped their feet and soared into the air.
"Heavenly Sorrow Miasma!"
"Immaculate Emperor Bomb!"
"Xuanyang Saint Flash!"
"Canghai One Sword!"
"Thunderstorm Fierce Fist!"
Dust flew and debris filled the sky!
Bang bang bang!
The two sides clashed fiercely.
In the blink of an eye, several rounds had passed.
Seeing this, Tuoba Yong shouted, "All of you attack together, don’t give them any chance!"
"Yes!"
Over a hundred people in the Heavenly Gang Sword Formation encircled the five at the Circulation Heaven Position at the core.
As for the other individuals at the Circulation Heaven Position, they continued advancing towards the direction of the hall.
Ye Wenjun raised her sword, her gaze turned icy, and she shouted once again:
"Yi Shui Han (Freezing Water Cold)!"
"Sister Wenjun, don’t!"
"Miss Ye! It’s too dangerous!" Xu Sisi exclaimed in surprise.
Ye Wenjun left a residual image in the air with her figure.
Seeing this speed...
Li Wenyuan, the leader of the Four Saint Generals, shivered: "After her engagement with the enemy, she actually made another breakthrough!? This move clearly possesses the strength of the Xuantian Rank!"
"Xuantian Rank?" Shangguan Linghui’s face was filled with shock.
She had watched Ye Wenjun grow up step by step.
Starting from the Yellow Rank, advancing to the Mystic Rank, and then to the Earth Rank... and then stepping into the ranks of the Heaven Rank experts.
How much time had it been, and she had already become a Xuantian Rank powerhouse?
Yi Shui Han.
A sword that freezes everything in ice!
Ssss—
Cold Qi billowed!
"I’ll take her on! Cold Attribute? Haha... The Fiery Sun Sect just loves such opponents!"
The Sect Master of the Fiery Sun Sect struck out with a palm.
Boom—
The scorching Palm Power collided fiercely with Yi Shui Han.
Cold and heat alternated!
With a thunderous boom, like the sound of thunder.
The Fire Attribute Fierce Sun Palm defended against all the Cold Qi with an aggressive stance.
However—
Unexpectedly.
As Ye Wenjun was sent flying backwards, she steadied herself in midair with a tap of her feet, spun 360 degrees, and whispered, "One Sword to Profound!"
The Sect Master of the Fiery Sun Sect furrowed his brows, surprised: "Dual Attribute? A Heavenly Rank Combat Skill!? Too bad, you’re only at the Xuantian Rank! It was you who sought death! Don’t blame me!"
"Fang Yu, if you’re a man, come out here and stop hiding behind a woman, or you’re nothing! If you don’t come out now, I’ll have no choice but to kill her!"
Boom!
As he stomped with both feet, his whole body burst into flames.
"Flames Engulf the Heavens!"
"Sister Wenjun, retreat quickly!"
"Not good! This is a killing move! A killing move of the Circulation Heaven Rank!"
Everyone from the Fang Family’s hearts hung in their throats.
