Chapter 1395: Fierce Battle! (2/2)
The eight attacking Righteous Alliance experts slowed down, staring in wide-eyed shock at the now-vacant space before them.
”Impossible! This scoundrel couldn't possibly have escaped!”
One of the Righteous Alliance experts gnashed his teeth and thrust out a palm, sending out a wave of energy that shattered several stones in the air as it hurtled toward the position the Formation Elder had just occupied. Boom! A ripple appeared in the air as that wave of energy seemed to strike something solid.
”Over there! Don't let him escape!”
The Righteous Alliance experts excitedly turned in the direction the Formation Elder had vanished and sent all kinds of energy toward it.
But before any of their attacks could land, all the arrows and stones flying through the air were pulled on by some immense force into a vortex that proceeded to howl toward the Righteous Alliance experts.
Boomboomboom!
The vortex of arrows and stones dashed to pieces the energy attacks of the Righteous Alliance experts and continued onward toward them.
”How could this be!?”
”This scoundrel has taken control of the Origin Immortal Formation's energy!”
The Righteous Alliance experts paled in fright, their eyes almost popping out of their sockets. No one could have imagined that this short old man would be so powerful, turning around the power of the formation and using it against his foes.
”Careful!”
The Righteous Alliance experts immediately radiated Stellar Energy to fight back against the arrows and stones. This downpour of arrows and stones was clearly stronger than before, shaking the experts so badly that their wrists went numb and the energy within their bodies seethed.
Nearby, another vortex began to take shape, bringing with it a second wave of arrows and stones.
”Damn it! Pull back!”
The Righteous Alliance experts turned apprehensive at the situation and hastily retreated.
They had come to attack the Formation Elder, but a moment later, they were running off faster than they had come.
”You little bastards! Get over here! Come on! Try and get this old man!”
In a small formation of a few square feet, the Formation Elder heartily laughed at the fleeing Righteous Alliance experts, a smug look on his face.
He was not skilled at martial arts, and while he wasn't that weak, he was also no match for the likes of the Demonic Emperor Old Man, Song Yuanyi, and even Righteous Alliance Elders like Sikong Yuanjia. The martial arts world was a dangerous place, and if he didn't have a few tricks, he would have never been able to travel the world.
Those five pebbles had been one of the Formation Elder's tricks.
While the Formation Elder had not been able to comprehend the rules of the Origin Immortal Formation, he had been able to study some of its secrets. These secrets coupled with his own attainments in the field of formations allowed the Formation Elder to locally control some of the formation's energy and use it against the Righteous Alliance experts.
”The evil path is a crooked one, and all the people upon it must be punished! Everyone, work together and exterminate this little demon!”
Meanwhile, the battle between Wang Chong and Sikong Yuanjia's group of Righteous Alliance Elders had reached a fever pitch. The robes of the Righteous Alliance Elders flapped in the air as they attacked Wang Chong from various angles, torrents of Stellar Energy raging back and forth.
Such an offensive would be enough to make anyone pale.
And Wang Chong was in a very weakened state, still recovering from his cultivation defect. Despite this, Wang Chong remained fearless.
”Heavenly Mandate Battle Armor!
”Vast Heaven Earth Art!
”Art of God and Demon Obliteration!
”Void Movement Technique!”
Light flashed on Wang Chong's body as he was covered in the black Heavenly Mandate Battle Armor, and then he used the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art, at the same time flicking out sharp bolts of Sword Qi with his finger.
Most terrifying of all was the Void Movement Technique Wang Chong had obtained from the men in black. Although Wang Chong had not completely comprehended it at the start of the battle, he was frighteningly comprehending it in the middle of the battle.
At the start, Wang Chong had been very clumsy in his application of the Void Movement Technique and had exposed himself throughout, but the fearsome defenses of the Heavenly Mandate Battle Armor allowed him to endure the attacks of Sikong Yuanjia and company.
But Wang Chong quickly began to accustom himself to the Void Movement Technique, and under the pressure of battle, with the mantra of the Void Movement Technique flitting through his mind again and again, he actually began to deepen his understanding of the technique. Moreover, actual practice was far superior to just groping around in the darkness.
Sikong Yuanjia and the Righteous Alliance Elders were able to keep track of Wang Chong at the start and barrage him with attacks, but by the end, Wang Chong was getting faster and faster, his movements increasingly unfathomable.
And as the Sword Qi of the Art of God and Demon Obliteration mixed with the Stellar Energy of the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art rained down, threatening to strike at their vital points, it was soon Sikong Yuanjia's group that was on the back foot.
