Chapter 377 - It Is You! (1/2)

A Godly Venerable Rank master was considered a completely unrivaled presence in the world. Even the sect leader, Ye Zong, could not withstand the energy suppression.

The apprentices of the Scarlet Flame Sect were shocked. The Mountain-shielding Formation that they always thought was invincible did not seem so anymore.

These people had never seen a Godly Venerable Rank master before. Godly Venerable Rank masters usually did not show themselves and they very seldom operated in the human world. Today, they had truly witnessed the fabled strength of a Godly Venerable Rank master. It was a realm they could never even hope to reach. It stood before them like a grand mountain that was impossible to mount.

“Ye Zong, the way I see it, crushing the Scarlet Flame Sect is as easy as squashing a bug. Years ago, my House of Storms saved your lives. Today, we can take it away just as we will it,” Zong Chengtian’s expression remained unchanged. Destroying a sect as large as the Scarlet Flame Sect seemed nothing out of the ordinary to him.

The apprentices of the Scarlet Flame Sect felt a chill within their hearts when they heard Zong Chengtian. They were so insignificant before a Godly Venerable Rank master.

Ye Min, Ye Yan, and the others did not know what to do either. They were only mere ants in the eyes of Zong Chengtian. It was a waste of effort even if they tried to struggle.

“Brother Zong, the Scarlet Flame Sect is just a bunch of filthy imposters, no need to waste your breath on them!” Fu Yu laughed.

This time, there was no one in the Central Empire Ye Clan to accuse Fu Yu of being arrogant. They only knew how to pick on the weak ones and cower in sight of the strong. Ye Chen stood beside Little Rou and looked on silently. He did not think much of Zong Chengtian and Fu Yu. Having faced a Peerless Power master himself, he was not going to be afraid of two Godly Venerable Rank masters!

“Zong Chengtian, don’t get ahead of yourself! The Scarlet Flame Sect is indeed inferior to the House of Storms but that doesn’t mean we’ll be easily pushed around!” Ye Zong brandished his longsword. The wind in the skies above answered to his call, tens of thousands of bolts of sword energy danced above like a gigantic soaring dragon. An enormous and vicious aura came from above.

“Ye Zong, all you have to rely on is this Mountain-shielding Formation. I’m interested to see just how capable your Mountain-shielding Formation can be!” Zong Chengtian scoffed. “Secret technique – Ancient Heavenly Formation!”

Bolts of light appeared around Zong Chengtian and he was surrounded by runic seals.

“Let’s see which one is stronger, your Mountain-shielding Formation or my Ancient Heavenly Formation!” Zong Chengtian grinned. He was not afraid of the Scarlet Flame Sect’s Mountain-shielding Formation.

Ye Chen slightly frowned when he sensed the overwhelming murderous energy of the Mountain-shielding Formation. When he first came here, he thought that the Mountain-shielding Formation of the Scarlet Flame Sect was outrageously powerful and invincible. Now, from a perspective of a Daemon King Rank master, the Mountain-shielding Formation was only average. It would be quite a challenge for the Mountain-shielding Formation to kill a Godly Venerable Rank master.

Fu Yu flew back some distance, he looked very disinterested. Zong Chengtian was a man who cared a lot about his pride, else he would not come all the way here to exterminate a sect just because his son was wounded by them. If he was going to exterminate a sect, he could just do it right away instead of going through the effort of destroying the Scarlet Flame Sect’s Mountain-shielding Formation head-on. It was so pointless but Fu Yu would not utter these thoughts to Zong Chengtian.

“Witness the strength of Scarlet Flame Sect’s Mountain-shielding Formation!” Ye Zong belted. The Scarlet Flame Sect would have a chance at survival if he could kill Zong Chengtian with the Mountain-shielding Formation!

Ye Zong bellowed furiously as he swung his sword down. Tens of thousands of flying swords turned into a river of swords in the edges of the Mountain-shielding Formation. The rapid stream of swords went at Zong Chengtian.

Zong Chengtian responded with the Ancient Heavenly Formation. He gathered his strength and swung bolts of sword energy to meet the flying swords coming his way.

Although the longswords only consisted of Tier One to Two spirit artifacts, they were still considerably powerful when gathered into a sword array. It would mean certain death for any Mystique Venerable Rank fighters that enter its range. This was the first time Ye Zong had used the Mountain-shielding Formation against a Godly Venerable Rank master. He was not very confident in how effective it would be.

“Buzz, buzz, buzz!”

The stream of swords intersected. The longswords slammed into Zong Chengtian’s Ancient Heavenly Formation. Thunderous rumbling followed.

Zong Chengtian was buried in the raging stream of swords. His figure could no longer be seen.

“Did it work?” The apprentices of the Scarlet Flame Sect wondered. Could their Mountain-shielding Formation be successful in killing a Godly Venerable Rank master? They felt a glimmer of hope when they saw Zong Chengtian vanish in the rain of swords.

Ye Chen’s Astral Body inspected the situation above closely. The stream of swords which clashed into Zong Chengtian’s Ancient Heavenly Formation barely managed to break through the Ancient Heavenly Formation’s defense. “Boom, boom, boom”, each longsword shattered into pieces when they came into contact with the Ancient Heavenly Formation.

“The Ancient Heavenly Formation defense prowess is truly amazing. I suppose even my Ternary Sword Array wouldn’t be able to break through its defenses! I wonder what it’d take to break through its defense?” Ye Chen wondered. Who would have thought Zong Chengtian had this kind of defensive secret technique. Ye Chen estimated it was slightly stronger than his Celestial Martial Chi.

It was certainly true that a powerful fighter’s strength could be further amplified several fold by learning powerful secret techniques. The succession of secret techniques was very important.

The House of Storms boasted a long line of ancestry. Over the years, many secret ancestral techniques were passed down to the younger generation. Unlike Ye Chen who was just an independent cultivator, if he wanted to learn secret techniques, he had to try to get his hands on secret technique jade slips.
