Chapter 211: Fighting the Formation

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Divine Wind and Thunder Extermination Formation, activate!”

Following the Wind and Thunder Geminis roar, thick webs of lightning suddenly rose from the ground, covering an area of over ten thousand square feet. It was like a spherical barrier, and it trapped them all within it.

Within this formation barrier, the howling winds and crackling bolts of lightning were dozens of times denser than before. All that could be heard was the furious booming of the wind and thunder.

Hong Dou was still in his giant form, and he was instantly struck by more than a dozen lightning bolts and wind blades. He howled in agony and immediately shrunk his body back to normal size.

“Fuse!”

The black and white geminis suddenly pressed up against each other. Then, a blinding light shone brilliantly from their bodies.

The intensity of this light caused everyone to squint their eyes. After the light disappeared, a terrifying aura started to expand outwards, causing them to involuntarily tremble in fear.

An Lin looked up and saw that a male with yin-yang skin had appeared in the sky. There was a condescending look in his eyes as he swept his gaze across those below him on the ground.

He stood atop the wind and clouds, and his body was bathed in a pool of flashing lightning. His eyes were piercing, and the lightning around him pulsated as he breathed. This all made him appear extremely powerful and otherworldly.

“The holy grail has been stolen. The energy gathered over the years by this spell formation can finally be released fully.

“In this region, I’m the ruler of all wind and lightning. Even cultivators of the Soul Formation Stage will not be able to crack open this Divine Wind and Thunder Extermination Formation.”

The black-and-white male had an air of calm and indifference as he stood proudly in the sky. His voice boomed, and it possessed an intimidating might as it reverberated through the skies.

Boom!

A streak of energy struck someplace in the void, and the Wind and Thunder Formation suddenly started to tremor violently. Then, a crack appeared in the formation.

As if they had anticipated this, An Lin, Wang Xuanzhan, and Liu Qianhuan quickly charged toward this crack.

“You guys really want to embarrass me?” The black and white male’s face twitched. However, his body moved much faster than he spoke.

The black-and-white male was like a flash of lightning, and he appeared before An Lin in the blink of an eye. Then, he instantly kicked at An Lin!

The male knew that An Lin had the uncanny abilities to manipulate lightning and shatter spell formations. Thus, he decided to target An Lin first by choosing to battle with him using close combat.

Claps of thunder roared in the sky, and the male’s dazzling lightning kick gave An Lin little time to react. An Lin barely had time to raise his sword in defense before that crushing lightning kick landed on his sword.

An indescribable force traveled through his sword and into his body, and the air surrounding him was ripped to shreds. The shockwaves of the impact swept out thousands of feet.

“Puah…”

An Lin spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body crashed heavily into the floor, smashing out a massive pit.

“An Lin!” Seeing this, Wang Xuanzhan instantly turned back and charged toward the black-and-white male who still planned on attacking An Lin.

Meanwhile, Liu Qianhuan rushed toward the collapsed An Lin. She cast a Prismatic Barrier as she sped over, blocking out the blades of wind and bolts of lightning which swept toward her.

An Lin picked himself up from the pit with great difficulty. His blood was churning, and he was still coughing up mouthfuls of blood.

“An Lin! Are you okay?!” Liu Qianhuan dashed over anxiously.

An Lin shook his head and laughed bitterly. “I can still move. I just can’t fight anymore…”

Saying this, he looked toward the black-and-white male with a lingering fear in his mind. He felt that the kick just then had almost taken his life, and he had expected that his Defeat Judgement Seal would activate.

Then, he looked toward where the crack in the formation had been. At this moment, it had already fully closed up.

Divine Inspection Technique!

His eyes became a snowy white as he continued to search for flaws and defects in the spell formation. It would be difficult to cause the spell formation to fully collapse, but forcefully opening up a crack was still doable.

As he was searching for flaws in the spell formation, Wang Xuanzhan’s anguished cry suddenly sounded from the skies.

There was a flash of lightning and the black-and-white male once again appeared before An Lin. There was a mocking smile on his face and he chuckled, “I said from the beginning… None of you can leave!”

Like before, the male kicked toward An Lin’s chest. There was nothing fancy about this kick, but merely its speed and power could completely crush An Lin.

However, An Lin was different from before now. His Divine Inspection technique was active, and he could see through the flaws of the male’s attacks.

No… Even if he could see through it, his speed still wouldn’t be able to keep up…

First technique, Wind Sword!

Relying on the first technique of his Six Strikes of the War God, An Lin momentarily drew on all the power within his body to raise his speed to a maximum. Then, he shifted his body and slashed backward!

The lightning kick from the male scraped past his body. Shrouded in a white glow, his Evil-Slaying Sword drew a deadly arc as it cut toward the male’s neck.

Seeing that An Lin was able to dodge his kick, the male was astonished. Then, he felt a chill run down his spine. Without any hesitation, he leaped backward.

Swoosh!

The sword flashed over at an insane speed, yet the black-and-white male still managed to dodge it.

Just as he dodged this sword strike, a white beam of energy which was shredding apart the earth blasted ferociously toward him.

This was Liu Qianhuan’s Final Spark. The timing of her attack was perfect, and the male had no chance of dodging it.

The laser beam exploded on the male’s chest, yet it only managed to push him back a few steps. His chest was scorched black and the sound armor fracturing could be heard.

“Wind armor?” Liu Qianhuan was slightly taken aback, and she instantly yelled at An Lin, “Run!”

The black-and-white male took her Final Spark head-on and barely suffered any damage at all. Now, fearsome lightning danced around his body, and he once again charged toward An Lin!

“Roar!” Wang Xuanzhan leaped into the air and thrust his spear toward the black-and-white male viciously. The projection of an azure dragon formed behind him and his speartip was the harsh and unadorned fang of this dragon.

The black-and-white male frowned. He couldn’t ignore Wang Xuanzhan’s attack. Yin and yang started revolving below his feet, and bursts of wind and lightning shrouded his fist as he punched toward the head of the dragon projection.

Boom!

There was another earth-shattering rumble as the male clashed with Wang Xuanzhan, and the impact of their collision formed a devastating lightning windstorm.

Wang Xuanzhan had put all of his power behind that strike, yet he was still blown back by the punch of the male.

Taking advantage of this moment, An Lin used his Divine Inspection technique to once again identify a flaw in the spell formation. A streak of energy shot from his fingers and struck at some point in the void.

Just as he thought that a crack would be opened up in the spell formation once again, another streak of energy blasted the burst of energy that he shot out.

An Lin was slightly dazed. He turned around and saw that the black-and-white male was looking at him with a cold sneer on his face.

Lightning flashed, and the male once again charged toward him. It appeared as if he wouldn’t give up unless he disposed of An Lin first.

Boom!

A bolt of golden lightning suddenly arced over and struck toward the black-and-white male.

At the same time, numerous Buddhist prayer beads floated into the air. These beads worked in harmony with a golden sigil, and they released a powerful restraining ability as they attempted to hold back the black-and-white male.

The representatives of the Buddhist Kingdom and Hall of Creation also joined in this battle!

After seeing Hong Dou being scorched black while attempting to forcibly crack open the spell formation, An Lin understood why they had all joined in this battle.

If they fought the black-and-white male head-on, not a single one of them was his opponent. Their best chance at survival was to crack open the spell formation and flee.

However, An Lin was the only individual capable of cracking open this spell formation which had been gathering energy for numerous years. Thus, he became a crucial member of this battle, and the representatives of the other forces had no choice but to protect him.

“Why are you just standing there? Hurry up and rip open this spell formation!” Huang Shan roared.

Seeing Huang Shan pull himself together after receiving such a shock, An Lin was slightly moved. However, he didn’t have time to muse over that, and he quickly used his Divine Inspection technique again.

The spell formation kept circulating, and its flaws also changed with this circulation. An Lin once again found a flaw and flicked a streak of energy over into the void.

This time, there were numerous people attacking the black-and-white male, so he was unable to prevent An Lin from attacking the spell formation.

Boom!

A breach opened up in the spell formation once again.

This time, there were rings of wind under An Lin’s feet, and he also cast his Wind Sword technique for a second time.

In order to raise his speed, he really gave it his all. His body became a blur as it broke through the sound barrier, and a white shockwave exploded behind him.

His vital energy was severely depleted, and there was a possibility that he wouldn’t be able to fight after using this Wind Sword technique. However, he didn’t have time to think about this now. If he was any bit slower in his escape, he would perhaps be blasted back by that kick again.

The black-and-white male’s roar could be heard in the distance. Suddenly, lightning dragons and wind wolves materialized near the breach in the formation, and they all glowered at An Lin aggressively.

Then, An Lin used his Lightning Manipulation Technique and made the lightning dragons charge at the wind wolves.

There was another burst of violent explosions as the wind and lightning energies tore at each other ferociously.

Under the protection of Liu Qianhuan’s Prismatic Barrier, An Lin charged through this chaos of energy without slowing down and successfully dashed out of the breach in the spell formation!

Liu Qianhuan followed closely behind him. After she escaped the formation, she used a spell technique to hold the crack in place and prevent it from closing.

An Lin lay down on the floor exhausted. Through the crack, he could see that the intense battle continued to rage on inside the formation. As the representatives battled though, they slowly inched closer toward the breach in the spell formation.

Hong Dou, who didn’t participate in the battle, also ran out after them buoyantly.

When he saw that An Lin was lying defenseless on the ground, he really wanted to charge over and beat him up. Upon seeing Liu Qianhuan glaring at him though, he forcibly contained this urge.

Soon after, Dong Yan and Qing Xin also dashed out.

Boom!

Amidst ear-splitting explosions of thunder and lightning, Qing Zhi, Wang Xuanzhan, and Huang Shan beat back the black-and-white male. Then, they all lunged toward the breach in the formation!
