Chapter 202: Who Dares Block Me (2/2)
“You’re not going to attack him, big brother?” Jin Heyi asked in surprise.
“If he survives,” responded Jin Heyi offhandedly, “I’ll make my move the day he ascends to golden immortal.”
……
“Kill!” commanded Lu Yun. The nine bloodcorpses morphed into crimson shadows and engaged the enemy, while he took to the air to stand on the head of the rimesnake king with Qing Han and Ge Long. A twist of the giant snake’s body propelled them toward the inner city.
“Do you think nine zombies are enough to get you into the inner city? How naive! Hear my command, soldiers, kill Lu Yun!”
“Understood!”
“Kill!” The area was completely sealed off. Three armies, totaling more than three hundred thousand soldiers, arranged themselves into three concerted battle formations, ignoring the nine bloodcorpses and targeting only Lu Yun.
“Wauuuuuugh!! Wauuuuuugh!! Wauuuuugh!!” The nine bloodcorpses threw their heads back and howled, each of them disintegrating into twelve smaller bloodcorpses. Every one of the smaller bloodcorpses was a golden immortal, with a total of a hundred and eight of them.
Grinning wolfishly, Lu Yun manifested twelve black command flags that radiated a subtle crimson glow.
“Heavenly fiends, open!!” With a wave of his hand, the governor cast the twelve flags into the air. They formed an odd formation in midair and became one with the hundred and eight bloodcorpses.
“Waugh!! Waugh!!! Waugh!!!” Unified shrieks from the bloodcorpses created a hair-raising, uneerie din while thick blood energy suffused the air.
Growl!
A giant crimson claw ventured out of the strange formation.
“The Great Formation of Heavenly Fiends!! Five thousand years ago, Fei Nie, City Lord of Duskwater, employed this formation to slay thirty-six peerless immortals in quick succession.” Jaws dropped at the sight of the crimson claw. The Great Formation of Heavenly Fiends! Its name alone had shaken the world of immortals five thousand years ago!
Those thirty-six peerless immortals had been monster spirit kings, the loss of which had greatly devastated the North Sea monster spirits to even today. Full recovery yet lay out of reach. And today, the formation was reborn upon the stage of Nephrite Capital!
“Grrrr!!!” A beastly roar traveled out of the great formation. The giant crimson claw slashed viciously at one of the formations, ripping through the images created by a hundred thousand soldiers like they were paper.
Dyed red by a ray of crimson light, the soldiers lay prone on the ground, incapacitated. Lu Yun reared into the air from atop the rimesnake’s head.
“I, Lu Yun, will enter the inner city today. Who dares block me?” His voice rumbled through all parts of Xiankan.
“Listen to that arrogance!” a peerless immortal scoffed. “Back in the day, the Duskwater city lord was a golden immortal who set up the great formation with the legendary connate-grade treasure, the Formation Orb. That was how she slew the peerless immortals. Your poor, hacked together imitation uses only zombies and some banners as foundation. I’d like to see who you’ll be able to kill!
“Break!” Manifesting an arc of blade light, the peerless immortal slashed at the formation.
“You’re quite wrong.” Lu Yun smirked at the moonlight blade of energy. “The great formation centered around the Formation Orb is the inferior one.”
Boom!
A shake of the formation turned all twelve flags crimson. Red ripples undulated from them and spread in all directions. Previously only covering three hundred meters, the formation expanded ten times over to cover an area of three thousand meters. An arm running the entire span of the formation poked out, swiping at the arc of sword energy.
“What?!” The peerless immortal felt the threat of death loom over him.
“Get into formation and protect the commander!” The two other armies moved as well, manifesting their battle images and slamming into the formation.
“I said I would hack my way in there, and I will! Kill!”
Bam!
A flower of bloody mist bloomed in midair. Thus marked the end of a peerless immortal.
