Chapter 1070 - Invincible In The Match Of Formations
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After gaining success with the first strike, the disciples of Residence of Nine Supremes did not pursue further. Instead, they backed off together, watching for the opponent’s possible counterattack while placing their empty hands on Sun Mingxiu, who then cried out once again, “The five lakes and the bright moon ripple together.”
At his voice, Yun Xiuxin, Bai Yexing, Hu Xiaofan, Duanmu Feng, and Lin Xiaorou turned and dashed toward each other in the opposite directions. They switched their opponents in the blink of an eye and launched another round of attacks.
Five loud booms rang out one after another.
Sun Mingxiu was completely exhausted after channeling all his mystical Qi into his fellow disciples, but his judgment was not weakened at all. Through the first wave of attacks, he had instantly concluded that the strongest disciples in the Seven Stars Formation were Han Kongqun—who took the leading position—and another disciple who took the position of Alioth.
Although they were separately targeted by Yun Xiuxin and Bai Yexing—the strongest disciples of Residence of Nine Supremes—and both of them had been able to gain some success, it was far from enough to win the match. Therefore, in the second wave of attacks, he avoided the strong but targeted the weak, making the five strongest disciples attack the five weakest in the opposite camp. The plan worked out instantly and produced the desired result.
Because of the linking ability of the Seven Stars Formation, which equally shared the damage one received with the rest, all seven disciples in the formation coughed up a mouthful of blood at the same time. Overloaded, the formation backfired, injuring the seven disciples.
With just two waves of attack, the advantages and disadvantages of both sides were already clear at a glance.
The disciples of Residence of Nine Supremes attacked and moved quickly according to Sun Mingxiu’s will. Each of their attacks came with a power that was several times greater than their strength, and was targeted right at their opponent’s weakness. Although the Seven Stars Formation had its own magical ability, it was crude and vulnerable in the face of the Nine Peaks Formation.
The seven disciples who suffered the backfire from the formation staggered backward at the same time. Han Kongqun roared orders in desperation, making vigorous efforts to turn the tide; but it was all too late.
Meanwhile, Sun Mingxiu straightened himself, his eyes gleaming as he cried out one last time, “Unify the martial world and replace the regime!”
After that, nine disciples quickly changed their positions and lined up in a row, as they exercised the technique of ‘body fusing with sword’ at the same time. For a moment, nine sword beams shot five hundred feet into the sky like nine dragons!
The power of the attacks was something that could only be achieved with a Saint-level cultivation base! But now, the sword beams of the nine disciples from the Residence of Nine Supremes were advancing together like nine Saints attacked at the same time! The spectacle they produced was incredible and appalling!
The attack was the combination of the strength of all nine disciples who formed the Nine Peaks Formation, which was then doubled by the formation. Only then did it become so shockingly powerful!
In the face of such a formidable attack, the miserable screams on the opposite side disappeared as soon as they rang out, with blood and gore scattered all over the place.
After wiping out their opponents, the disciples of Residence of Nine Supremes rushed out of the field at top speed with the momentum of the attack. The sword beams pierced through the air as they traveled three thousand feet before landing on the stand belonging to them.
Nine disciples bowed at the same time and cried out, “By good luck, this disciple was able to accomplish the task!”
What was left in the field was blood and gore scattered across the ground. There was not even a bone that was not broken, and even skulls were shattered into pieces.
Everyone was silent, and no one spoke for a long time. All the people from the other eight sects were utterly shocked by the spectacle of the white sword beams shot five hundred feet into the sky jointly unleashed by the nine disciples of Residence of Nine Supremes!
The level of Saints!
They could not believe that this Nine Peaks Formation could elevate the strength of the nine disciples to the level of Saints!
How would the other sects deal with it when even Thousand Mountains Sect, who was famous for their formations, had failed?
Compared with Nine Peaks Formation, the Seven Stars Formation was nothing but a piece of trash.
At the moment, Du Yangfan’s face was as pale as a corpse.
The rest of Thousand Mountains Sect also looked disheartened and discouraged as if their parents had just died, no longer proud and arrogant like before.
They were defeated.
They were defeated once again, and it was a match that they had the most confidence in.
In the field, the seven disciples of the Seven Stars Formation were resurrected, but their faces were deathly pale and their eyes were filled with horror. A few of them were even shivering.
The match had completely frightened them.
It was hell!
It was not the mortal world!
But, none among them reacted more strongly than Han Kongqun.
In just an hour, he had died twice.
Although they were not real deaths, the feeling was exactly the same as reality.
After he was killed in the first match, his heart was already filled with anger and resentment. When he was resurrected, he thought of nothing but to kill Yun Xiuxin for revenge. His state of mind was already a little imbalanced at that moment, but his fighting strength was not affected; instead, it became stronger because of his fury. However, what happened later was beyond his expectations. The Seven Stars Formation, which he regarded as the trump card, was completely destroyed with just three waves of attack. And instead of killing his opponents, he was killed by them. The difference between reality and his expectations was so huge that it could no longer be described with words.
He stood stupidly in the field, his body was shivering and his eyes blank as he muttered under his breath, “I am dead…I am dead again…dead again… ahhhh!”
Suddenly he screamed and put his head between his hands as he ran back to his sect. “I am dead, I am dead…I am dead again…”
Because of the imbalanced state of mind caused by the repeated deaths, Han Kongqun had gone insane.
Du Yangfan breathed out a long sigh and slapped Han Kongqun on the back, knocking him out of consciousness instantly. He passed him to someone behind him, then turned around and said bitterly, “My sect has lost the match of formations.”
On the high stand…
“The second match is won by Residence of Nine Supremes!” Huo Yunfeng’s voice was sad and bitter as well, as if he was mourning for someone.
Then there was a long silence. Apart from the people of Residence of Nine Supremes who were celebrating among themselves, no one from the other sects spoke a word.
The eyes that looked at Residence of Nine Supremes now, including those from the Golden Cauldron Sect—the number one sect—were filled with apprehension.
The match of formations, which everyone thought was Residence of Nine Supremes’ weakness, was in fact their trump card!
Almost everyone felt a chill running down their backs.
The nine disciples of Residence of Nine Supremes were all little girls or boys, and few could be addressed as teens. In other words, they had not been cultivating for long and their strength was not extremely strong, no matter how gifted they were.
But, the Nine Peaks Formation could forcibly elevate their strength to the level of Saints! One could only imagine the true power of the formation. It must be extremely frightening and appalling.
At that moment, all the sects made a decision: ‘The Residence of Nine Supremes has fixed its only weakness. If it climbs all the way up later and it is time for us to fight, we will never fight them in the match of formations!’
