Chapter 572: Heavenly Flame Formation Master
Almost at the same time, Bai Mohan and the other 24 teams surrounded them from all directions.
The Double-horned Demon Python also charged towards Xiao Yi and his group at an extremely fast speed, crazily rushing forward.
Xiao Yi's eyes narrowed, and a cold smile flickered across his lips.
He was naturally not afraid of the Double-horned Demon Python.
Earlier, he sensed something off and had planned to withdraw temporarily to avoid any accidents.
After all, behind him were numerous disciples of the Sword Sect and four clansmen from the Snow Winged Eagle.
But, now that the reason was clear and Bai Mohan and the others had surrounded the area, there was no need to withdraw.
However, just as he was about to swing the Blizzard Sword in his hand,
The ferocious Double-horned Demon Python before him suddenly turned into a cloud of blood mist.
The thousand-meter-long massive body instantly disappeared, leaving nothing behind but the blood mist in the air.
"Hmm?" Xiao Yi's expression changed slightly.
"Hahaha," Bai Mohan's hideous laughter rang out.
"Xiao Yi, surprised, aren't you?"
"A demon beast of the Extreme Realm Fourth Layer, I have obliterated it with a single thought," Bai Mohan said the moment his words fell, an enormous transparent barrier appeared out of nowhere.
The transparent barrier enveloped an area of several thousand miles.
"A Formation?" Xiao Yi frowned and then showed a look of realization, "So that's how it is."
"That Double-horned Demon Python has been subdued by you long ago."
"And the Formation has already been laid out."
"The Double-horned Demon Python was trapped within the Formation; the Formation itself was hidden beneath the surface of the sea."
Xiao Yi had already felt something was off, besides the fact that this area could not possibly have a Double-horned Demon Python.
He was more puzzled by the sudden appearance of the Double-horned Demon Python.
Just a moment ago, the surrounding sea was calm.
And with his perception, if there were demon beasts lurking nearby, he would have definitely noticed.
Yet, the Double-horned Demon Python still appeared without warning.
Looking at it now, it seems that the Double-horned Demon Python had long been trapped under the sea surface,
And its presence was concealed by the Formation.
Moreover, the Double-horned Demon Python was an Earth Extreme Fourth Layer demon beast.
Any single team here would be far from a match for it.
But 25 teams working together, along with this peculiar Great Formation, subduing it wouldn't be a difficult task.
"Clever," Bai Mohan sneered coldly.
His words undoubtedly confirmed Xiao Yi's guess.
"However, the smarter the person, the quicker they die," his expression grew more hideous.
"This prince left early specifically to come here and lay out this Great Formation."
"I knew that with your personality, you would lead your team and dawdle along the way."
"And I also knew that although with your strength, you could go further into the sea."
"But, taking these dead weights with you, you would not continue going deeper."
"You were bound to stop at the edge of this 6,000-mile radius."
Upon hearing this, the Sword Sect's group's faces instantly turned furious.
Zhong Wuyou sneered coldly, "Bai Mohan, you indeed excel in schemes."
"It's just that your other skills aren't much, but you're particularly adept at despicable acts."
"Hmph, still so defiant when death is upon you?" Bai Mohan's face turned cold.
Xiao Yi sneered, "Who dies is still uncertain."
"Xiao Yi, I really don't know whether to praise your confidence or your arrogance," Bai Mohan sneered coldly.
"Do you think that with the inheritance of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, you can be invincible in the world?"
"Let me tell you, the Sky-splitting Sword Sect has long been a mere shadow of its former self, and its downfall is not far off."
"If it weren't for that wretched woman's support, the Sky-splitting Sword Sect wouldn't even reach the threshold of the Martial Arts Holy Land."
"This prince, after half a year of secluded insight, has obtained the inheritance of the Heavenly Flame Formation Master."
"What right do you have to be arrogant?"
"Heavenly Flame Formation Master?" Xiao Yi's expression changed slightly.
Speaking of the Heavenly Flame Formation Master, I fear that not a single person in the whole Flame Martial Kingdom, no, the entire Flame Dragon Continent, is unaware of him.
This was a king in the history of the Flame Martial Kingdom, a figure of brilliant and unparalleled talent.
In his era, he was undoubtedly the foremost figure of his time, with mighty Cultivation that surged like a torrent.
What mattered most was that he was also an Array Master.
His mastery of Formations was unrivaled across the Flame Dragon Continent.
Therefore, he was known as the Heavenly Flame Formation Master.
The last time there was a great battle in the Royal Capital, that group of Heavenly Flame Guards employed a Formation, and their strength suddenly exploded.
The Formation they used was created by him countless years ago.
Of course, the Heavenly Flame Formation Master was not a powerhouse from the Ancient Times.
His mastery of Formation techniques was far from reaching the glory of the Ancient Times.
But without a doubt, with the Ancient Inheritance almost completely lost.
His knowledge of Formations was unmatched by anyone.
At this moment, Bai Mohan's cold and mocking laughter was heard again.
"The Great Formation I have laid out today is called the Heavenly Flame Formation," he proclaimed.
"It is the strongest Formation technique from the hands of the Heavenly Flame Formation Master."
"Nothing within the Formation's embrace, neither person nor object, could hope to escape."
"Even sounds cannot find their way out, not the tiniest bit," Bai Mohan's voice became increasingly chilling.
"Under our 25 teams' joint attack, I would like to see how you expect to live through today."
"What?" The people from the Sword Sect were instantly taken aback, their faces changing drastically.
High above, 27 Demon Hunting Team referees stood in the air, expressions of puzzlement on their faces.
Each competing team was constantly followed by a Demon Hunting Hall referee.
At this moment, 25 teams, Bai Mohan's team, and the Sword Sect's team were all gathered here.
The referees naturally gathered as well, all 27 of them.
But, these 27 people were forcefully 'ejected' from the area the instant the Formation manifested, due to the power of the Formation.
Consequently, these 27 referees were not within the Formation.
Now that not even sounds could escape the Formation.
This meant that the Sword Sect team, even if wanting to concede defeat loudly and withdraw from the competition, couldn't do it.
As long as the referees couldn't hear the acknowledgment of defeat.
It would be regarded as the team fighting to the death.
Even if Bai Mohan and the others were to kill off the Sword Sect team completely, it would not be considered a violation of the rules.
Among these 25 teams, one was the main team.
It belonged to the Royal Family team of the Heavenly Gold Kingdom.
And their leader was none other than the Eldest Prince of the Heavenly Gold Kingdom, Jin Bupo.
In addition, there were the Golden Evil Sect team and the Golden Wind Sect team.
Indeed, the Heavenly Gold Kingdom had three teams arriving together.
On the part of the Ice Martial Kingdom, there were only two teams, one led by Han Ming of the Mystic Ice Saint Sect team and the other being the Ice Martial Sect Team.
Bing Wujiang's main team did not come here.
The remaining 20 teams were also subdivisions, from other teams of the 15 Kingdoms.
The main teams had not arrived.
The leaders of the 24 subdivision teams all had Nine-layered Cultivation, along with Primordial Artifacts, Martial Techniques, and numerous other methods. When all of their techniques were unleashed, they were powerful enough to be considered at the Earth Extreme First Layer level of combat capability.
But now, it was unknown how much their combat power had increased within the Formation.
Furthermore, the main team led by the Eldest Prince of the Heavenly Gold Kingdom, Jin Bupo, had won fifth place in the previous round.
Jin Bupo himself was the top Heavenly Talent of the Heavenly Gold Kingdom.
Considered as one of the most powerful Heavenly Talents on the Flame Dragon Continent, he ranked alongside figures like Bing Wujiang and the Young Sect Master of the Thousand Eyes Sect.
His combat ability was even more difficult to estimate.
For the first time, a feeling of unease arose in the hearts of the people from the Sword Sect.
"It seems that you've already planned everything in advance, just waiting for today to claim our lives," Xiao Yi observed coldly, looking around at all the teams.
"What if we have?" Bai Mohan sneered coldly.
...
The second update.
