Chapter 1172 - Work Together with the Old Zither Player (1/2)

During the second round of attacks, Great Sky Force Formation started using tricks, and at the same time, it managed to hurt many people.

A lot of people faced the second round of attacks with their previous impression of the sword formation. They treated the attacks from the divine weapons as attacks which were only fast and strong, but could not pose a threat to them. During the second round of attacks, they did not give the formation the proper amount of attention it should have.

During the crucial moment, the divine weapons lured the people before Death’s door!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The changes in one or two divine weapons were not shocking, but when dozens of divine weapons started flying down one after another from the sky to turn into dazzling sword glares, they caught the Myth Realm elites off guard. They spun and flew past these Myth Realm elites, and many people had their blood spill on the spot.

The sword glares flew past these elites with an unstoppable force and an astonishing speed. They circumnavigated the Myth Realm elites attacks, which they were certain would land, and they landed terrifying gashes on their chests, faces, or arms. In an instant, blood gushed into the air of the hall. Dozens of people cried out in pain and moved back. Their eyes were filled with shock.

The sword glares attacked quickly, and they left just as quickly.

The divine weapons that flew over dragged against the ground, creating dazzling sparks and making it seem as if there were fire snakes trailing behind them. They wandered about quickly among the crowd and traveled in all directions.

Wherever they went, the people would avoid them as if they were snakes and scorpions.

They had personally witnessed elites who were at the same level as they were being instantly injured severely. Some of the unfortunate ones had even been killed right when they faced the divine weapons. The level of danger from the divine weapons instantly increased exponentially in the people’s hearts.

“Don’t be disheartened!

“The sword formation is about to launch its next round of attacks! All forces, be on guard at full strength!”

With a face red with anger, Bi Xuan gave his order loudly. He appeared to be exasperated.

That was to be expected. After all, the only people who had a large number of subordinates left in the hall were him and the old zither player. The accident had happened too suddenly just now. Bi Xuan had quickly tried to take action, but he could not help them at all. However, the old zither player had played his zither during the crucial moment, and with a wave of zither sounds, he managed to save the barbarians who had suffered from fatal attacks. Hence, the person with the most number of subordinates injured and dead was Martial Paragon Bi Xuan, and it was only natural that he was not in a good mood.

The atmosphere among the people turned from relaxed to tense in an instant during the second round of attacks. An uneasy atmosphere enveloped them once more.

But Thousand-faced Human Fox and Osaya released a sigh of relief at that moment.

Because they had clearly seen the sword glare travel past Happy’s body, but during the critical moment, he had used an incredibly unbelievable method to avoid that fatal strike, and he remained completely uninjured from it.

Golden Bell Cocoon!

During the crucial moment, the profound technique of loyalty had allowed Happy to avoid danger.

Even so, Happy still broke out in cold sweat.

The change in the second round of attacks from Great Sky Force Formation caught them completely off guard. It was only one slight change, and it already caused the formation to be filled with murderous intent and dangers. It caused him to feel as if the hall was filled with the shadow of death. He immediately stopped looking down on the formation, and he became even more cautious toward the subsequent challenges.

However, Happy still paid attention to the reactions of the elites from the dao of heaven.

When he ran into danger, he could clearly sense a few gazes trained on him, and they were from the person in black armor and the fanged mask, Evil King, Wan Wan, Dongfang Bubai, and the old zither player.

Happy could understand the first three people’s gazes.

The first had nearly forced him to take action and expose his identity and strength. When Osaya had blocked his attack, it was only natural that he would harbor a grudge. At the same time he was surprised by his relationship with Osaya, he would also hope that Happy would die in the hall.

Evil King and Wan Wan were people who had fought against him a few times, and it was only normal for them to notice something.

As for Dongfang Bubai, Happy only felt his skin crawl from his gaze.

He did not want to end up in the hands of this person who was neither a man nor a woman.

But even if he were to interpret the others’ gazes with a narcissistic view, Happy was still most surprised by the old zither player’s attention.

Ever since this man appeared in the desert, he had kept a low profile. He never engaged in any sort of conflict with the others, and his temper could be considered to be extremely good. When Osaya entered the area right outside the ruins, he did not even say anything. He just moved.

‘Golden Bell Cocoon is a very normal high-tier body fortification technique. Many of the wanderers are skilled in it. Looks like I’ll still be able to use Gusu’s Blue-robed Hero for the time being.’

While Happy thought about it, he shifted his gaze back to the forty-nine fire snakes on the wall.

Sizzling sounds rang through all directions, and it caused a great headache to the people in the hall. The continuous stream of noise interfered greatly with the Myth Realm elites’ ability to listen to the wind and judge where the divine weapons were, which added to the difficulty of them discovering the attacks and avoiding them.

Fortunately, the hall was rather wide. If they were in a small area, the group would not even have the chance to cushion the attacks.

Whoosh!

Happy sensed the movements of the divine weapons once more.

“Osaya.”

Happy sent a signal to Osaya with a soft voice.

At that moment, Happy did not remain reserved with the Sacred Lady of Holy Fire Sect. He went straight ahead and asked Osaya to take action. She was a follower of his who had agreed to serve him. If he did not use her now, when was he supposed to use her?

Osaya had already noticed that Great Sky Force Formation was indeed as dangerous as Thousand-faced Human Fox had mentioned based on the losses in the hall. She nodded, and she had her white gauze-clad arms fall to her sides while she arrived discreetly in front of Happy and Thousand-faced Human Fox.

With Osaya protecting them at full force, Happy and Thousand-faced Human Fox instantly felt the pressure on their shoulders being reduced by a large degree. They just needed to be careful of the divine weapons that slipped past Osaya’s defenses.

Happy seized the chances to quietly observe the changes in Great Sky Force Formation.

Just as Thousand-faced Human Fox mentioned, starting from the second round of attacks, the offense from Great Sky Force Formation had become much fiercer.

During the third round of attacks, Bi Xuan lost another two people.

During the fourth round of attacks, the swords formed groups of three, and each group fused together to become one sword. Six of the Myth Realm elites in the hall were killed on the spot. The old zither player had managed to save one, but the others all died.
