Chapter 1076: One strike (1/2)

Sam is having trouble with the formation. Not because it is a high-level formation, rather it is pretty basic, the problem is that it is extremely layered and all the layers are made with many nodes. Even if there are some nodes missing, the formation will shift to a different form with almost the same output.

The formation destruction is not exactly difficult but it is time taking and persistent. Particularly in a battle, he would need to find that one point that would destroy the formation. As for the core of the formation, he couldn't find it. This is one of the coreless formations.

If not for the fact that he made the move while the formation is still activating, the temperature in the formation would have been far worse than what it is now.

The core disciple went after Sam without giving up and the rest of the people are being kept busy by the team.

The sect leader was stunned by the display of power from Sam's team.

They are in constant upper hand even though the environment is against them, but he didn't worry too much.

”Go defensive, don't try to kill or injure, just drag for the time.”

The sect leader directly announced his instructions, he is still in a staredown with the Night Ghost, not starting the battle yet.

But the tension is building up and they are sure that the one person who loses patience will be the one to lose.

After half an hour, Sam noticed that the team is currently feeling a bit problematic with the ice elemental energy invading their bodies.

Sam felt the urgency. He activated fire elemental energy fusion and walked slashed the sword at the core disciple which left a large slash on his chest and then focused on the formation.

He took out a bunch of knives and moved around on the harbinger and started throwing them at different spots.

The core disciple who was slashed with the sword is suffering from the corrosion effect on the body as he rolled on the ground. His golem covered him with the humungous body and tried its best to block all the attacks.

The sect leader frowned for the first time.

He didn't that the core disciple would fare this bad. From start to finish, he didn't stand a chance against Sam. Every single attack Sam made landed and he is not even focusing on the fight. He is clearly focusing on the formation.

As he looked at the fiery knives landing on different spots, he had a bad premonition.

He wanted to make a move, but Night Ghost is giving him too much pressure. He has been in this cultivation level for a few decades and he could clearly sense that Night Ghost recently broke through, but his instincts are screaming to be careful. The danger this man represents is so high that every second he looked to the side made him feel like he is being preyed by some savage ready to rip him apart.

After some thought, he couldn't take it anymore as he looked at the futile attempts of the core disciple to take care of Sam by himself and yelled.

”Battle formation 2”

As soon as he spoke, the elders took a step back as they took out an ice sculpture from their storages.

All the ice sculptures are golems as they moved and jumped around before standing in different spots. The formation changed and the temperature further reduced. Sam felt as if even a single breath is freezing his lungs.

And that is even with his fire elemental fusion and the evolved lungs of the fire element.

He looked around to notice that all the core disciples who are supporting the elders to deal with the teammates are now free as the temperature decreased and his teammates are feeling suffocated and feeling obstruction in their energy circulation, but still they are holding up on their own. The least effect was on Kiran and Saber Monarch who don't have any elemental affinity.

They are going all out as they started slaying one elder after another, but there are still too many of these people.

Sam lost his patience and he was about to make a big move. But the core disciples already surrounded him.

Most of them are late-stage Pre-transcendent cultivators.

But they still managed to fight against the initial stage transcendent cultivators and peak stage Pre-transcendent cultivators with the help of the formation.

Sam took out the reaper sword and threw the bunch of fiery knives around without much care. He slashed straight on the disciple that came at him and kicked a knife up in the process before hitting with the sword.

It was lodged at some spot. He slashed another opponent and hit another knife making it land on another spot.

The golems are being blasted away as he challenged all his energy.

When the core disciples saw Sam's strength, they became a bit timid to approach him, they immediately activated an ice elemental fusion and merged with their ice golems.

Sam was stunned for a second when he saw this.
