Chapter 143 Breaking Through Another Formation
Chapter 143 Breaking Through Another Formation
Ye Ling soon entered the mountain gate.
Beyond the mountain gate was a spacious courtyard.
The courtyard was planted with numerous ginkgo trees, and from the robustness of these trees, one could tell that they had been there for many years.
Observing the courtyard, the corners of Ye Ling's mouth slowly curled into a light smile.
Stay connected through empire
"Why continue to hide, everyone?"
Ye Ling said softly.
As his words fell, sixteen figures emerged from various corners of the courtyard.
Each person held a broad blade in their hand, the blades glinting coldly, obviously much stronger than those held by the disciples at the first challenge.
"Twelve Great Grandmaster peaks, four half-step Battle Kings."
"Your Guiyi Dao Sect's foundation is indeed not weak, and you really are willing to spend substantial resources to deal with me."
Ye Ling appraised the sixteen people before him and spoke with a smile.
Jiang Hai and others also entered the courtyard at this time.
When the guests saw these sixteen elders of the Guiyi Dao Sect, many of them showed surprised expressions.
"The four elders, Sun, Qian, Li, Zhao? They had retired, hadn't they? To think they have reappeared today?!"
"Are these the four great elders from the previous term of the Guiyi Dao Sect's Sect Master? It's rumored that these four elders had already stepped into the half-step Battle King realm, but who knows if it's true or not?!"
"Hehe, look at the aura of the four elders, they certainly have stepped into the half-step Battle King realm! Twelve Great Grandmaster peaks and four half-step Battle Kings, with such a Myriad Blade Formation, I wonder how the Northern Liao King will break the formation?"
...
Those who recognized these sixteen elders immediately began to speak.
As these words were spoken, the entire room was astonished.
A full twelve Great Grandmaster peaks, along with four half-step Battle Kings!
The lineup for this Myriad Blade Formation could likely unleash a strength not weaker than a late-stage Battle King.
Hearing the discussions around her, Su Rou's eyes deepened with worry.
It wasn't just her, Wang Tiezhu and the other three also showed looks of concern.
After all, the four of them did not know that Ye Ling had already stepped into that legendary Imperial Realm.
"Sister-in-law, rest assured! Although these people are strong, they are no match for the gentleman," Ye Jiu immediately said, noticing Su Rou's worry.
As these words were spoken, Wang Tiezhu and the others all turned their gazes towards Ye Jiu, their eyes filled with curiosity.
Ye Jiu glanced at the four of them and said nothing, only raising one finger and pointing upwards.
Just a gesture, but Wang Tiezhu and the others immediately changed their expressions, as if they had realized something terrifying.
"Don't make a fuss over nothing. Leaving the Southern Border Army to join the gentleman will be the most correct decision you have ever made in your lives," He Feng said with a light laugh.
Hearing this, Wang Tiezhu and the others nodded solemnly.
If their guess was indeed true, then joining Ye Ling would definitely be the most correct decision they had ever made.
"Northern Liao King, this is the second challenge, the Myriad Blade Formation, shall we begin?" Jiang Hai said with a cold laugh.
Ye Ling wasted no words and simply beckoned with his fingers to the sixteen elders around him.
Being provoked in such a manner, how could the sixteen influential and powerful elders endure?
"Kill!"
One of the half-step Battle King realm elders shouted the word as a fierce killing intent surged.
Sixteen figures charged forward, their blades swinging forcefully through the air.
Wave after wave of terrifying knife energy headed straight for Ye Ling, cutting deep furrows in the ground as it passed.
In an instant, all the ginkgo trees in the courtyard trembled violently.
The fallen ginkgo leaves also rose into the air and flew around wildly!
"Not good! The knife energy is too strong, we should move back!"
Ye Jiu's expression hardened, and he immediately spoke up.
Hearing this, everyone protected Su Rou as they retreated.
Even the likes of Ye Jiu had to do this, let alone the other people present.
Facing the Myriad Blade Formation set up by sixteen elders, such knife energy was too much for even a general Great Grandmaster to withstand.
The crowd consciously retreated more than ten meters, a few more steps and they would have left the mountain gate.
Maintaining such a distance, everyone was finally able to relax slightly and watched the courtyard battle with hearts pounding.
Ye Ling, barehanded, faced sixteen powerful elders of the Guiyi Dao Sect, each wielding a broadsword, yet he showed no sign of panic.
Just as the knife energy was about to hit Ye Ling, he suddenly revealed a smile.
Then, Ye Ling's hands slowly lifted and he drew the pattern of Tai Chi in front of his chest.
The next second, a tremendous aura burst forth explosively.
"Boom!"
A wave of air spread in all directions from Ye Ling as the center.
The previously fierce knife energy instantly dissipated, and even the flying ginkgo leaves settled back to the ground, returning to calm.
The sixteen elders rushing towards Ye Ling stopped in their tracks and their faces flushed red.
Even many of the elders already had blood trickling from the corners of their mouths, slowly streaming down.
"You all have decent strength, but for me, it's still too weak,"
Ye Ling said indifferently.
Then he put his hands behind his back again and casually lifted his right foot and stepped on the ground.
"Boom!"
Another wave of air surged out from under Ye Ling's foot in all directions.
The sixteen elders were thrown backward flying, just like the eighty-one disciples in the first challenge!
In front of Ye Ling, it seemed no matter if one was a Martial Artist, a Grandmaster, or even a Great Grandmaster, they only had one outcome when facing him: defeat.
The four half-step Battle King realm elders were the first to stabilize themselves, their broadswords simultaneously stabbing into the ground, forcefully stabilizing their figures.
The twelve peak Great Grandmaster elders simply couldn't do the same as these four half-step Battle Kings, and they didn't stop until they smashed into trees or walls.
"What, do the four of you still want to fight me?"
Ye Ling looked at the four half-step Battle King elders and said with a light laugh.
As the words fell, the four elders each spat out a mouthful of blood.
The crimson blood dropped to the ground, resembling blossoming plum flowers.
"We are no match for you, we dare not fight again!"
The four elders bowed, and one of them sighed lightly and said with an emotional expression.
Ye Ling nodded with a smile and spoke, "Since you dare not fight again, then step aside."
"I hope the Sect Leader of your Guiyi Dao Sect won't disappoint me too much."
The four elders didn't dare say more; they immediately cleared the way, holding their broadswords respectfully and standing aside.
Jiang Hai, who had witnessed the entire process, had an expression as if he had seen a ghost.
The Myriad Blade Formation that could rival late-stage Battle King warriors, had just been broken?
Even as Ye Ling disappeared from his sight, an incredulous expression lingered in Jiang Hai's eyes.
