Roooar!
The moment Wang Chong entered the formation gate, he heard bangs and shouts. Within this formation gate, Wang Chong saw various peak Imperial Martial experts wearing uniforms emblazoned with the symbol of a white crane on Yin and Yang. They had assembled into a tight sword formation that they were using to resist the stones and arrows pouring down as well as the dark red lava gushing out of the ground.
”Careful!”
”Zhou Chang, hold! Alliance Lord will definitely come and save us!”
”Yes, we can't give up, no matter what! Let's destroy this formation together!”
These martial artists were in an extremely poor situation. Not only did they have to fend off the attacks from the formation, but also the attacks of the golden beetles. However, these martial artists worked together extremely well, and it also seemed like they had already paid some painful price to learn the weakness of these golden beetles.
The martial artists were constantly swinging their swords at the surrounding golden beetles. Even though there were thirty to forty of these beetles, none of them were able to break through, as they were knocked away before they could get close.
But the most obvious sight here was the massive black Qilin standing at the center of the sword formation. This giant Qilin's large feet were constantly stomping down, and it shattered more than half of the incoming attacks. Besides that, it had also drawn over a significant number of beetles.
Through this method, the black Qilin was sacrificing itself to protect those Imperial Martial experts.
”Righteous Alliance!
”Elder Ouyang!”
Wang Chong's face froze in surprise. He had never imagined that he would encounter Ouyang Changheng and the Righteous Alliance experts in such a central part of the Origin Immortal Formation. Though they were seemingly able to hold on, Wang Chong could tell that they were faring very badly.
Ouyang Changheng's black Qilin was not even exerting half of its usual power, and the Righteous Alliance experts it was protecting were all pale, cold sweat rolling off their foreheads and flowing down their backs and chests, drenching their bodies and even the ground beneath their feet. It was clear that their Stellar Energy reserves would not be able to last for long.
Moreover, if a single gap appeared, the golden beetles would immediately exploit it, with consequences too frightening to be imagined.
”Who goes there!?”
”It's you!”
”It's the fake Young Master Qingyang!”
”What are you talking about? He's the Demonic Emperor's successor, a demon of the evil path!”
Thunderous roars rang out as the Righteous Alliance experts noticed Wang Chong's entry into the formation gate. In a flash, there was a clanging of swords and sabers, with a good portion of their weapons pointed at Wang Chong. The air instantly tensed.
”This little demon can only have appeared here harboring evil intentions. Even if we must die today, we can't let him off easily!”
”Bastard! He wants to ambush us! Kill him!”
”Forget it! We'll bring him down with us!”
The Imperial Martial experts of the Righteous Alliance furiously bellowed. Although Wang Chong was enclosed entirely within the bizarre and mysterious Heavenly Mandate Battle Armor, he had still been almost instantly recognized.
Outside the formation, Wang Chong had used this armor in his battle against Righteous Alliance Lord Song Yuanyi and Black Yin Ancestor Luo Qiyin, leaving a deep impression on the onlookers.
No one had expected Wang Chong to show up while they were trying to cope with the traps and dangers of this place. Everyone in the martial arts world knew of Demonic Emperor Zhang Wenfu's infamous reputation. No matter where Wang Chong had come from, he had already become associated with the evil path and the title of 'demon'.
If this were any other time, they wouldn't have needed to fear him.
But they had consumed more than half their Stellar Energy and were reaching the end of their rope. How could they not be alarmed and furious?
Wang Chong's expression chilled at this sight.
He had been considering whether he would save these people, but if they truly dared to attack him, then he couldn't be blamed for what happened next.
”Stop!”
A furious roar came from overhead. At this crucial moment, Ouyang Changheng's black Qilin spoke, his voice extremely harsh and severe.
”Anyone who dares to attack Young Master Wang will be punished according to the laws of the alliance!”
These words took all the Righteous Alliance experts by surprise, and even Wang Chong couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
”But, Elder, he's a disciple of the Demonic Emperor!” a Righteous Alliance expert said in concern, his momentary distraction almost allowing a golden beetle to get in.
'If you encounter the Demonic Emperor or his disciple, kill them at once' was an order from the alliance lord. No one had expected Ouyang Changheng to suddenly defy this order. They couldn't help but hesitate.
”There is no 'but'! Everyone, stand down!
”Young Master Wang saved our Righteous Alliance. If not for him, we would have already been dead at the hands of the Black Yin Ancestor. We are the Righteous Alliance, not the Evil Alliance. Returning kindness with hostility is not something that we can do. I can't meddle with the orders of the alliance lord, but inside this formation, none of you are allowed to attack Young Master Wang!”
