Chapter 372: Joining Forces to Break the Formation
Outside the city, Fang Xue walked together with a group of people, preparing to huddle for warmth.
The main goal of the crowd was to try whether they could join forces to open the City Defensive Grand Formation.
However, at this moment, no one knew how strong the City Defensive Grand Formation was. If Gu Fan were here and told them that it required a strike of Shore Reaching Realm strength to open it, everyone would surely fall into despair.
At this time, the group slowly arrived at the edge of the grand formation outside the city.
The man who had been leading them earlier spoke again.
“Everyone, this is the closest spot to us. Let’s join forces to attack and see if we can break open the formation!”
After speaking, he turned to Fang Xue and said:
“This fairy, when we strike later, you may stand closer to me. After all, the grand formation surely has defensive power, and the backlash from the attack might injure you.”
Fang Xue frowned slightly and ignored him.
This made the man a little embarrassed as he said:
“Fairy, please don’t misunderstand. I am Yi Tianliu, a core elder of Windcloud Pavilion. Speaking of sect strength, we are no weaker than the Cang Blood Tribe. Once I safely return this time, I will surely report this to my sect. At that time, we must demand an explanation from the Cang Blood Tribe!”
Upon hearing the name Windcloud Pavilion, Fang Xue’s expression grew slightly strange.
Strictly speaking, Windcloud Pavilion was indeed a first-rate force, but it was a sect that had only risen in the past two years. In terms of true strength, it was not actually a match for the Cang Blood Tribe.
More importantly, Windcloud Pavilion was under the Brahma God Sect!
Unlike top-tier first-rate sects, ordinary first-rate sects had to become vassals of some major force. Otherwise, within the Brahma God Sect’s sphere of influence, such powers would never be allowed to exist.
Windcloud Pavilion was in such a semi-vassal state, surviving only under the shadow of the Brahma God Sect.
Upon learning that this man was an elder of Windcloud Pavilion, Fang Xue’s expression softened a little.
“No need. Just take care of yourself.”
These words left Yi Tianliu even more embarrassed. He had revealed his background, yet still received such a cold reply.
At that moment, one of the disciples behind Yi Tianliu could not hold back and said:
“This person is far too arrogant. Elder Yi only wished to look after her since she’s a weak woman out here. Even if she doesn’t need it, she shouldn’t treat him with such coldness.”
“That’s right, Elder Yi. You don’t need to lower yourself to consider her. Perhaps she has never even heard of Windcloud Pavilion.”
Hearing his subordinates echoing him, Yi Tianliu felt his face much better.
In truth, under normal circumstances, he would not bother with others.
But just now, when observing from the rooftop, he had noticed Fang Xue at first glance.
Her stunning beauty and her cold, otherworldly aura immediately drew him in.
Now, though they were on the run, seeing that they were moving farther from the battlefield, his mind eased, and he unconsciously wanted to show off his strength in front of a beauty.
Unfortunately, the one he encountered was Fang Xue.
As a long-time genius disciple of the Brahma God Sect and the goddess in the hearts of countless disciples, she had seen through such petty displays countless times.
Yi Tianliu’s attempt was nothing but childish.
Fang Xue, seeing everyone echoing him, did not even spare them a glance. If not for Gu Fan telling her to stick with this group to huddle for warmth—or, in other words, to use them as cannon fodder when necessary—she would never have stayed with them until now.
“Enough nonsense. Aren’t we here to try breaking the City Defensive Grand Formation together? The sooner, the better!”
The two who had just flattered Yi Tianliu immediately looked displeased and were about to retort, but Yi Tianliu stopped them and said:
“Enough. She’s right. What matters most now is breaking the formation.”
After speaking, Yi Tianliu looked around at everyone. In an instant, the aura of a late-stage Three Blossoms Realm cultivator spread out.
It immediately suppressed the entire crowd.
“Everyone, since we are already here, let us try sooner rather than later. If we combine all our strength, perhaps we can break open this formation!”
At this time, someone echoed:
“This man is right. We are all here to survive. Now that we are at the formation, we must give it our all. If we succeed, we can all escape from this city!”
“Indeed! I suggest we start gathering power now. Once Elder Yi gives the signal, we all strike at once. With one combined blow, perhaps it will succeed!”
Thus, everyone began preparing to build up strength.
Although Fang Xue believed it would not succeed, she still cooperated and acted as if she were gathering power.
After several dozen breaths, Yi Tianliu directly said:
“Everyone, are you ready? On my count, attack!”
Seeing no one object, Yi Tianliu took a deep breath and shouted:
“Three! Two! One! Strike!”
Buzz!!
Boom!
In an instant, forty to fifty attacks of varying colors and chaotic auras erupted simultaneously, all striking the City Defensive Grand Formation ahead!
A violent explosion sounded, followed by terrifying backlash.
The moment their attacks touched the formation, it was as if invisible cotton absorbed all the destructive force. In the end, a terrifying counterattack shot back at the group.
Someone, caught off guard, was immediately injured by the backlash.
Fang Xue let out a cold snort and waved her hand. A formless sword qi instantly dissolved all the counterattacks.
“Damn it! It won’t work!”
“That’s right. The formation’s threshold is too high. Our attacks have no effect at all, and it even converts them into counterattacks against us!”
“What should we do now? If we can’t break the formation, must we just wait here to die?”
“Elder Yi, you are a core elder of Windcloud Pavilion. With your strength and status, surely you must have a solution?”
Seeing their attacks fail, everyone instinctively threw the problem to Yi Tianliu.
But clearly, Yi Tianliu had no solution. His strength was only at the Three Blossoms Realm.
Even if he died here, his sect might not seek justice for him.
After all, he was just an elder of an ordinary first-rate sect. If killed, the Cang Blood Tribe would, at most, pay a small compensation.
By then, he would already be dead, and the compensation would only benefit the sect.
At that moment, someone proposed:
“Elder Yi, as an elder of a first-rate sect, why don’t you reveal your identity and try negotiating with the Cang Blood Tribe?”
Hearing this, everyone turned to Yi Tianliu.
Yi Tianliu’s face instantly changed. What status did he have in front of the Cang Blood Tribe?
The tribe dared to strike even at the Gu Family and wanted to take their lives.
Compared to the Gu Family, what was a mere Windcloud Pavilion?
“Everyone, don’t joke with me. Don’t forget that the Cang Blood Tribe’s great war is still ongoing. Even if I wanted to negotiate, I would have to wait until they stop their battle first…”
His reasoning was weak, but not without sense.
Just then, the ground suddenly shook violently, followed by world-shattering destructive force sweeping forth.
Every building on the ground was shattered into dust by the terrifying shockwaves.
Entire rows of houses instantly vanished, as if they had never existed!
Boom!!
The sound followed after, as the earth-destroying shockwaves slowly spread over!
