Chapter 851: Breaking Into the City Pt.2
After becoming one with the city wall of the Yanlin City, he understood that he had actually acted a little too arrogantly.
His Five Element Movement Art might be a profound art that allowed him to enter any formation or restriction, but that didn’t mean that no one would be able to detect his presence.
When he used his Earth Movement Art to pass through the wall, the resulting disturbance he caused attracted a Martial Sage from the Yanlin Clan.
Fortunately, he moved quickly. He started to move away from his original position and he quickly blended into the formation in order to avoid suspicion.
He then noticed that the experts in the city strengthened their control over the formation and focused even more on the walls.
Clearly, they were alerted by the sudden disturbance earlier. However, they didn’t seem to think that someone had already entered the city. They felt that it was more possible that those outside were attempting to spy on them and they didn’t let down their guard in the slightest.
In the foundations of the city wall, Shang Xia started to make his way into the city with his movement art. Moreover, he also discovered that their protection formation didn’t just affect the city walls. The entire city was covered in it. Never mind the earth beneath the city, but if he tried to emerge from the ground below, he might be detected immediately.
Not giving up, Shang Xia continued to travel through the earth. He discovered their underwater water vein and he unleashed his Water Movement Art in order to look for a well opening leading to the surface.
However, there was also a layer of barrier above the water surface, but the problem couldn’t stop Shang Xia for long.
That was because he discovered a chain extending down into the well and he silently utilized his Metal Movement Art to travel along the chain all the way till he discovered a pile of firewood. There, he utilized his Wood Movement Art to travel along it until he found an open flame. Finally unleashing his Fire Movement Art, he appeared as a spark before transforming back into himself. He entered the vast sea of people in the city.
Several divine wills silently swept across the well and its surroundings, but they failed to discover anything.
Shang Xia’s continuous utilization of his movement art might have drawn some suspicion, but the person controlling the formation couldn’t follow his strange transformations at all. They eventually chalked it up to a disturbance in essence qi in the surrounding area.
Finally, Shang Xia appeared openly in the streets of the city.
When Kou Chongxue and the rest brought the Martial Dipper Realm and Martial Extermination Realm experts over, Shang Xia had basically scouted out the situation. He even determined the greatest weakness in the formation.
Unfortunately, it was also the most heavily guarded region in the city. It was also surrounded by many types of additional restrictions, and it would be difficult for Shang Xia to infiltrate it using his Five Element Movement Art.
By the time the experts in the Yanlin City prepared to defend itself against those outside its walls, Shang Xia returned to the vicinity of the city walls.
At the same time, his divine will captured 2 more distinct auras of Martial Sages in the city.
The Yanlin Clan had clearly hidden experts in their holy land, and they had 2 more of them! One of their auras was comparable to an expert in the fourth element of the Martial Dipper Realm and the other was comparable to a third element Martial Dipper Realm expert.
Perhaps it might be because of the strengthened formation, they didn’t bother concealing their auras. Of course, it might also be to boost the confidence of the other experts in the city.
That was precisely how Shang Xia discovered the strangeness with the 2 of them who just appeared.
The aura around the expert who was comparable to a fourth element Martial Dipper Realm expert was alternating and it seemed as though he was at his peak state the moment and he was experiencing a state of weakness the next.
However, the other expert’s aura was even worse. It was a mess and Shang Xia was no stranger to the chaotic feeling in the expert’s body. It was the symptoms of someone whose fate dippers were in imbalance!
It was a shame they were separated by the city walls and the grand formation. Shang Xia had no way of conveying the message to those outside.
The person in charge of controlling the formation seemed to be affected by the happenings outside, and he no longer cared too much about the happenings in the city. He wouldn’t think that the true problem lay within the city and not outside!
Shang Xia acted decisively as he entered the city walls with his Earth Movement Art again.
Even though the city walls were basically fused with the protection formation, the attention of the expert controlling their grand formation was on those outside the city. Shang Xia also knew that after using many elements of his Five Element Movement Art, they couldn’t catch on to his tracks at all. In fact, they might not even know what was happening. contemporary romance
The slight disturbance that Shang Xia created that was overlooked, was the real killing blow that ended the Yanlin Clan.
When the Clan Leader of the Yanlin Clan, whose cultivation was comparable to a fifth element Martial Dipper Realm expert of the Azure Ascension World projected his voice to those outside in an attempt to learn about their true motive while dragging things out a little, Shang Xia started to circulate his Five Element Dipper Qi to disrupt the formation. A portion of the protective barrier along the city walls turned chaotic.
He also took the chance to direct the Wu Earth and Ji Earth Elements to the best of his ability. A giant portion of the city wall that spanned 300 feet or so that was covered in the protection formation crumbled!
The same second that happened, Yifeng roared with laughter outside the city. “Mister Xinyang from the Zhenyang Gate, looks like the immature little brat you’re talking about still possesses some true skill!”
Cao Xinyang didn’t think that he would be slapped in the face so quickly. The walls collapsed right after he spoke...
Even though he was a Martial Dipper Realm expert, his face alternated between green and white and he found it a little difficult to find his way out of the embarrassing situation.
The Martial Sages in the city weren’t exactly useless. They didn’t just let the wall crumble and their protection formation be destroyed.
The instant the walls crumbled, the Formation Grandmaster in the city responded. Dense essence qi appeared from both sides that still stood and formed some sort of illusory barrier. It created a wall from essence qi and tried to seal up the gap.
“We can’t allow the gap to close!” Kou Chongxue and the others emerged from the void that very instant. This time, Lu Wuzi was in the lead as his mirror shot towards the entrance before they arrived.
They made use of the mirror to hide their aura earlier, and they clearly wanted to confuse the experts in the city. The moment the opening was created, Lu Wuzi no longer bothered to hide their tracks. He used his mirror to stop the opening from closing!
Enraged cries came from the skies above the Yanlin City as Yanlin Zongheng reached out to grab at the void. The Yanlin Clan’s Ninth Heaven Divine Weapon, the Myriad Spirit Banner, appeared in his hand. He swung it violently at the outsiders!
A dense miasma emerged from the banner and sparkled magnificently under the sunlight as it rushed at the experts of the Azure Ascension World.
How could Kou Chongxue, who had been spying on them for so long, not know about their divine weapon?
The second the Myriad Spirit Banner appeared, 20 more Martial Dipper Realm experts from the Azure Ascension World appeared from the void and made 4 squads of 5 as they protected their formation masters.
The miasma arrived, and the experts of the Azure Ascension World felt it slowly corroding their protection barrier.
Fortunately, they could help each other after successfully forming their battle formation. Drawing on each other’s strength, they could greatly reduce the impact of the miasma.
Those rushing towards the wall weren’t exactly planning to hold out against the miasma without doing anything either. After supporting his Halo Mirror to maintain the opening in the wall, Lu Wuzi yelled, “Kou Chongxue!”
A sword light tore open the miasma in the air. With his Origin Yang Sword Qi and the power of the Hidden Frost Sword, Kou Chongxue tore open a path into the city and widened the opening. Their protection formation that fused with the city walls, might have been able to withstand a palm strike from Xun Yingsheng and Tian Jun’s sword art, but it couldn’t stop Kou Chongxue’s Origin Yang Sword Qi!
Facing the sudden appearance of the sword qi, Yanlin Zongheng’s expression changed. He might not have seen Kou Chongxue killing Chen Baixing above the heavenly screen, but he heard about it from the Martial Sages who participated.
The sword qi might have been greatly weakened after widening the opening, but Yanlin Zongheng knew that he needed to give it his all if he wished to stop it. He even stopped his connection to the Myriad Spirit Banner from emitting miasma and he waved it in the direction of the incoming sword qi.
Kou Chongxue never intended to use the sword qi to defeat Yanlin Zongheng, and he merely wanted to hold the clan leader off for a moment.
With the experts of the Azure Ascension World firmly holding the upper hand in terms of numbers, Kou Chongxue who had yet to really return to the peak of his abilities wouldn’t choose to go all out against his enemy if he didn’t need to!
The moment they closed in on the opening, Yifeng used his movement art to enter the city.
The second he passed through, Shang Xia’s voice rang in his mind. “Be careful, there are 4 Martial Dipper Realm experts in the city. They’re of the fifth element, fourth element, third element, and first element!”
The fifth element Martial Dipper Realm expert equivalent was held down by Kou Chongxue, and the first layer was someone who lost a clone back during the battle. The other 2 were the ones Shang Xia discovered. They had probably hidden in their holy land after realizing their cultivation ran into problems.
Yifeng’s heart trembled slightly, and he didn’t bother asking Shang Xia where he was. The sword qi in his hand erupted with great fervor and they quickly formed a massive layer that was like a sword qi shield before him!
As if on cue, an orange light slammed into Yifeng who was the first to enter the city.
The orange light had been storing energy for some time, but Yifeng was no slouch. He was prepared the moment he heard Shang Xia’s reminder. Both of them were experts of the same level, and Yifeng was in the fourth element of the Martial Dipper Realm. Even though they were supposed to be evenly matched, Yifeng seemed to fall to a disadvantage!
It wasn’t because Yifeng wasn’t a match for his opponent, but it was because the other party held a geographical advantage!
A hole might have been blown through the protection formation, but that didn’t mean that the formation collapsed!
Yifeng might be at a disadvantage, but it took more than that to defeat the annoying freak.
Behind him, 3 Martial Dipper Realm experts poured out from the opening and arrived in the city the next moment!
