Chapter 1173 - Formation in the Formation (1/2)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As the three elites in the dao of heaven formed an alliance, half of the pressure they faced from Great Sky Force Formation was taken from them, and the remaining dozen or so Myth Realm elites could take care of the situation as long as they took care of the injured and block the divine weapons that slipped past the ones in the dao of heaven. The forty-nine divine weapons did not even have the ability to break through the defense. They had rounds of their attacks parried one after another by the elites, who now formed groups of three.

As time passed, Great Sky Force Formation launched its eleventh formation. The damage from the formation suddenly increased by leaps and bounds. The forty-nine Great Sky Force Formation formed groups of seven and launched a continuous stream of attacks!

“Careful!”

These people were not weak. They noticed the changes in Great Sky Force Formation and spoke up to warn the others about it. They became even more on guard.

The groups of seven swords attacked continuously. When they arrived at the perimeter of the crowd, they suddenly turned into balls of fierce and dazzling sword glares. In an instant, they enveloped Osaya, Bi Xuan, and the old zither player.

“No good!”

“It’s a formation within the formation!”

“Be careful!”

The group of three elites in the dao of heaven were surrounded by attacks. They had four groups of seven swords from the formation attacking them. The three elites in the dao of heaven were instantly unable to take care of anything else, so they could only cry out for the people behind them to be on guard and take care of themselves.

But when seven swords formed a group, they could sweep through everything without any problem. The group of Myth Realm elites were also incredibly wary.

Whoosh!

The seven divine weapons worked in tandem with each other. They could cover for the weaknesses in their attacks, and they were like a grinding machine with an astonishing momentum. At the moment they rushed into the crowd, the Myth Realm elites at the outer layer of the triangle were instantly torn to pieces. That momentum made it seem as if they were being attacked by seven elites at the peak of Myth Realm, and these seven elites did not even care about their lives when they attacked.

Even the elites in the dao of heaven found themselves incredibly troubled in the formation within the formation. Two of the three were forced to back away and leave the group so that they could rush to a rather wide area to use their skills.

Osaya had brought out a pair of weapons shaped like crescent moons from some place, and as if she was dancing in circles, she blocked off the continuous attacks from the divine weapons. Clanging sounds rose nonstop. Her weapons continuously released piercing, metallic sparks, and she could no longer care about Happy and Thousand-faced Human Fox’s safety.

As for Bi Xuan, he was an experienced elite in the dao of heaven. He was a little more aggressive when he faced the formation within the formation. With one recondite steel longspear, he easily destroyed the teamwork in the sword formation and effortlessly sent a few of the divine weapons flying. His domineering presence was on full display!

However, Bi Xuan’s attacks caused his qi to spill, making sand and stones to fly. Sand filled the air. He could not compare to Osaya’s exquisite and quiet moves, which was why he could not use his attacks near a group. Naturally, he could not help any of his Myth Realm subordinates either.

In comparison, the old zither player was the only person who never left the team.

When the small sword formation persecuted him, his hands flew swiftly over the old, wooden zither, releasing streams of clear and exciting notes.

In an instant, a magnificent sound blade formed a huge river of sound with a grand momentum. It pushed the small sword formation away from him. More sound blades were formed, and they crashed against the seven divine weapons in the sword formation, and the small sword formation was forced back.

When they noticed this, not only was Happy shocked, even the other elites in the dao of heaven could sense just how terrifying this old zither player was, despite the fact that he had been keeping a low profile all this while.

He entered the dao of heaven with his skills in the zither!

He had mastered his craft to this state! Among the elites in the dao of heaven, perhaps he was the only one who could compare to Martial Paragon Bi Xuan, who had entered the dao of heaven a long time ago. In fact, he might have some advantages in certain aspects.

But he had hidden his strength very well, and he acted as if he was a humble old man who was in his twilight years. He never appeared to be threatening to the others, and it was only at this moment that he revealed his true strength.

‘His zither skills have already reached this state? Just who is he?’

While Happy thought about this, he kept a close eye on the fourth small sword formation that came charging over from the outer layer of the triangle formation. He quickly cast the puzzlement in his heart to the back of his mind and focused on handling the small sword formation which came charging over aggressively.

Just as he expected, the players were always the ones who would be given full attention by the system in the game.

There were plenty of elites in the dao of heaven, but they did not receive such a “fair” treatment. But he was just a player, and he received a really “high-class” treatment. It was truly… a delightful surprise.

“AHH!!”

“Run!”

“Hurry up, run!”

The group of elites in Myth Realm instantly lost their backbones when the small sword formation killed several of their companions and rushed into the formation. They could no longer care about the ones on the ground who were injured and could hardly move. They just moved back.

When they noticed the changes around them, the people who had entered a meditative state and were healing opened their eyes.

What they saw were dazzling, piercing, and fierce sword glares!

Everything might have seemed to have happened slowly, but in truth, it was over in the blink of an eye.

A few of them had divine weapons pierce through their bodies right after they opened their eyes, and blood gushed into the air.

“…”

The old zither player watched as more than ten of his subordinates instantly lose their lives. He looked as if he could not bear with that sight, but anger also flashed in his eyes. Even so, he could not divide his attention and take care of two small sword formations in one go. He could only watch as the fourth small sword formation continue to chase down the remaining people at astonishing speed.

With just one glance, the old zither player noticed the trajectory of the small sword formation, and he deduced that it was headed to the old man and young boy Osaya was protecting.

“Huh?”

It was only at that moment that the old zither player finally noticed that even though Great Sky Force Formation had launched more than ten rounds of attacks and plenty of elites in the later stage and at the peak of Myth Realm had died, the old man and the young man remained unharmed, even though their qi realms were low. He had to say, it was a miracle.

However, their good luck was about to end at this moment.

The offense of the small sword formation was something that even the elites in the dao of heaven had to fight against at full strength. The old man was in Myth Realm, and the young man was not even in Myth Realm. How could they possibly stay alive?

However, the sword formation was able to move faster than any lightness skill, the old man and the young man were caught up in the blink of an eye.

What happened next caught everyone by surprise.
