200 Invitation (2/2)
The first enemy reached him, which was right in time for the activation of the formation in his hand, which he threw out.
A whirlpool of flame descended from the paper like a flash of lightning. The temperature in the surrounding area rose drastically, and the flame from the formation coiled around like a dragon looking for its lair.
The advancing expert snorted. Xue Wei was merely a Sky Warrior. There was no way this weakling could wound a mighty Heavenly Warrior! Even if he was a formation master, all his formations were at the beginner level and they would hardly be enough to make up the gap
Taking these things into consideration, the Heavenly Warriors did not hesitate for a second and charged straight into the whirlpools of fire.
Xue Wei was not the only one who used the Blazing Light Formation. All four of them had used one at the same time, which turned the entire area into a sea of flames.
Bai Tianyi was the most extreme one. He used a full three formations simultaneously, summoning three fiery infernos in one go.
Ten of the twenty-five experts charged right into the flaming tornadoes, but as soon as they rushed into them, screams of agony erupted from inside.
The Blazing Light Formation alone did not have the power to kill experts of their calibre, but it was enough to make them writhe in agony.
The remaining fifteen experts shuddered when they heard the screams. It seemed that they could not ignore these formations.
But even if ten of them had been enveloped in the formations, there were still fifteen who were now alert and dared not rush head-first into them.
Xue Wei used the cover of the flames to dash forward.
Forbidden Rush!
Shattering Mountain Palm!
A palm descended down on one of the closest experts. But this guy was a Heavenly Warrior and Xue Wei was only a Sky Warrior.
Although he was swift while using Forbidden Rush, Xue Wei was not fast enough to land an attack.
Clicking his tongue, he retreated back from where he came, but the enemies advanced towards him on the other hand. He was their target, so they would not let him move around as he pleased.
Qi of all colors flashed like lightning in the air as countless attacks rained down on Xue Wei. Palm strikes, spear thrusts, sword slashes, everything was raining down on him. It was clear that they did not mind beating him half to death.
The other three had it easier. The majority of the experts were focused on Xue Wei, who was pushing Forbidden Rush to the limits to avoid the barrage of attacks. The other three fought against five other opponents while he was dealing with the rest.
Xue Wei flashed all over the place. For the first time, a truly thrilling battle had come. While unaware of it, a sinister smile had appeared on his lips.
Arcane Fist!
Kick of the Forgotten Kings!
With each evasion, Xue Wei threw out one attack after the other. Some were parried or blocked, while others landed on their targets, throwing them back a few steps.
Wounds started to appear on Xue Wei's body. His armor could not fully mitigate the damage done to him, and his clothes underneath were turning into rags from the amazing abilities these experts were displaying.
They were definitely vassals of the royal family; their abilities were all top-notch. ”This isn't really working,” Xue Wei muttered to himself.
He had thought that he could handle one person at a time while avoiding the others, but it was not doable in the end. The ten experts chasing him knew each other well and could coordinate their attacks well enough to block anything Xue Wei tried.
Xue Wei decided to change his plans. He could not push Forbidden Rush any further, but then a thought sprang to mind.
Suddenly, his legs, which were covered by the robe, started to transform into those of a dragon.
No one could see the change in his appearance, but his speed reached a completely new height. Now, he was moving so fast that the Heavenly Warriors were deeply shocked.
Movement techniques were extremely rare, so these Heavenly Warriors did not possess one. As a result, Xue Wei held the upper hand when it came to speed because of his transformation.
Suddenly, the Azure Dragon Spirit flew out of his body, startling both his pursuers and even Xue Wei himself.
”Watch out, he has a Fierce Beast!” someone yelled out. But the Azure Dragon Spirit had vanished as soon as it had appeared, making Xue Wei's lips twitch in amusement. What exactly was the point of the spirit's action?
Although it seemed a little pointless, Xue Wei saw apprehension in the eyes of the experts, which made him snicker. Now was his time!
He rushed forward, his hand suddenly transforming into a dragon claw.
Shattering Mountain Palm!
The force behind the attack was many times stronger than the last attack..
Xue Wei aimed right at the heart of a second layer Heavenly Warrior-ranked expert.
He accelerated by stomping hard on the ground, thrusting the palm attack forth with both the momentum and his raw strength.
A 'katcha' sound echoed out as the palm landed on the chest of the expert. Blood sprayed from the mouth of the expert and his eyes were filled with disbelief as he lost his life.
Just as he died, the golden dragon awakened. It flew out of Xue Wei's forehead and hovered above the dead expert for a few moments before retreating back into his mind. It was clear that it had consumed the expert's soul and turned it into soul power that it could digest and refine into spiritual energy.
