Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 224 – Battle Arrays

Even though Liu Zhifei knew that it was impossible to disperse the Sirius Gate’s party in the beginning of the surprise attack, he couldn’t help but be disappointed when the leader of the Sky Wolf Team actually blocked his accumulated energy attack.

At this time, the other cultivators of third team had already caught up and started attacking the Sirius Gate cultivators from behind Liu Zhifei. However, the Sirius Gate’s team had already gathered together and even though they were at a disadvantage, they were able to block the assault of the third team’s people.

Being able to kill a whole group of five people in a row was not something that could be done easily. The key reason why the third team was able to succeed in the first place was because the Sirius Gate had disrupted the formation of the Sirius Gate team from the very start, and had then been able to destroy them one by one with the concentration of their superior power.

The way to use this tactic to deal with third team was very simple, which was to not be able to spread out from the start, especially when facing the powerful attacks of the third team’s main group, Liu Zhifei. Even if he was injured, he would not be able to break through the formation, and would rather be suppressed by the weaker party than split into four.

When the cultivators of Sirius Gate first saw Liu Zhifei leading the group of third team, they were initially somewhat afraid, and that was also why when Liu Zhifei came out, the cultivators of Sirius Gate had caused such chaos.

However, the Heavenly Wolf Squad leader’s direct resistance caused all of the Sirius Gate’s cultivators to be shocked. Even though they could tell that the leader’s current situation wasn’t too good, they still weren’t disrupted by the third team.

This also caused the cultivators of Sirius Gate to secretly heave a sigh of relief. It was really because of the strength displayed by the third team last time that they still had some lingering fears.

However, the cultivators of Sirius Gate quickly realised, although the people of third team were attacking crazily, their real attacks seemed to be weaker than before. They quickly noticed that the group of Heaven-Shaken Sect that were attacking together only had nine people!

Nine people? Where’s the other one?

“Not good, the remaining one is setting up the formation. They have formation masters, stop him!”

The Sirius Gate leaders were the first to sense that something was amiss. They had been scared stiff by the third team’s overbearing sneak attack and had already planned to defend and slow down their retreat, but they had forgotten about Yang Junshan who had not joined the battle from the beginning.

The moment Yang Junshan, who was following the others, started to set up the array formation, the simple array formation tools were thrown out by Yang Junshan like hidden weapons, flying in different directions and entering the soil, forming a large circle around the Sirius Gate cultivators.

However, Yang Junshan’s actions naturally could not be hidden from the cultivators of Sirius Gate, the moment they discovered him, the leader of the Sirius Gate suddenly woke up, and anxiously ordered his subordinates to break through the encirclement and attack from the other cultivators of the third team, in an attempt to destroy the formation that Yang Junshan had set up.

However, the aura of the third team was still there, and because of that, Liu Zhifei had even activated his potential. He single-handedly suppressed the leader of the Sirius Gate team and a cultivator at the third level of martial arts realm, putting up a desperate stance, wanting to entangle the people of the Sirius Gate and buy time for Yang Junshan to arrange the battle formation.

Seeing that wanting to stop Yang Junshan from setting up the array in a short period of time was not realistic, the leader of the Sirius Gate immediately made a decision: “Everyone, retreat!”

After giving the order, the cultivators of the Sirius Gate retreated even faster. The cultivators of the Sirius Gate, who were in charge of taking turns to cut off the rear, were all heavily injured by the people of the Heaven-Shaken Sect.

“It’s too late to leave now!”

Yang Junshan’s cold voice suddenly sounded, he saw a giant seal circling above his head, and then smashing onto the ground in front of him with a loud bang, a ray of yellow light swept across, and the formation tools he had previously set up immediately resonated with the Mountain Monarch Seal, a formation that was not very large was formed, the yellow light swam back and forth in the area, and instantly engulfed the last six cultivators of Sirius Gate.

Soon after, deafening roars came from the array, the Mountain Monarch Seal suppressing the entire array was almost trapped inside it, and they flipped over. Yang Junshan’s face flashed with a yellow light, and anxiously said: “Hurry and make your move, you won’t last much longer!”

The people of third team, including Yang Junshan, all immediately retreated into the formation. The four Sirius Gate cultivators that were not drawn in by the formation immediately went back and attacked the magnetic light formation which had the Mountain Monarch Seal as the formation plate.

Although the array was shaking violently, as if it could collapse at any time, once trapped in the array, it would bring forth a force of a thousand jin. The magnetic light that swept across the array could increase the leakage of the cultivator’s internal spiritual energy and also weaken the power of the magic item in the cultivator’s hand.

However, Yang Junshan had already made nine stone talismans from the Jade Coins and distributed them to the other nine cultivators of third team. This way, when they entered the array, they would not be affected by the formation.

As for Yang Junshan, he had already rushed towards the Sirius Gate cultivator with the third level of martial arts realm the moment he withdrew into the formation. He had also seen it clearly previously, out of the six Sirius Gate cultivators who were drawn into the formation the instant the formation opened, this person had the highest cultivation.

Although the person was a level higher than him, had a magical equipment in his hands, and might even have a Spirit Arts inheritance, Yang Junshan could also borrow the power of the formation to the maximum, causing his strength to be no weaker than when he was with the Mountain Monarch Seal, and the most important thing was, killing a third stage martial arts realm cultivator, was equivalent to two heads worth of contribution points for him.

But even if Yang Junshan was familiar with the way, he was still the last person to enter the array. Before he could even find the Sirius Gate cultivator, two screams came out from the array, and it was obvious that the voices were not from the third team.

Just as that thought went through Yang Junshan’s mind, he saw the magnetic light in front of him being scattered, he knew that he was already close trapped cultivator of Sirius Gate, and immediately formed two finger arts, the broken magnetic light spun for half a circle before returning back to two spirit light belts, and once again wrapped around the Sirius Gate cultivator’s body.

Seeing that, the flying trident in his hand rose up in mid air and once again cut off one of the spirit halos. When he was ready to block the second spirit halo, Yang Junshan was already at the side waiting for the right time to make his move.

With the concealment of the formation technique, the stone technique had already silently shot towards the cultivator’s ribs. When it got closer, the cultivator suddenly realized something, and hurriedly used his Imperial Equipment to block the stone technique, causing his entire body to stagger backwards by two steps.

However, just these two steps allowed this person to once again step into a completely new scene within the formation. This time, the magnetic light Belt increased another fold, to four.

Two of the four spirit energies coiled around the magic tool, while the other two swept over the Sirius Gate cultivator’s body. That Sirius Gate cultivator felt that his control over the magic tool was getting weaker and weaker.

At the same time, Yang Junshan took the chance to attack again. This time, he used a spirit technique and a magnetic light technique, causing the power of the array to increase by three points, and even broughay of light with a substance like substance into his hand. Like a whip, it wrapped around the dual trident like an enchanted tool.

Yang Junshan was definitely going to lose his life, but he wanted to try and snatch this magic tool away even more, because the majority of the refined magic tools, especially the life tools, would shatter at the same time as the cultivator, unless the connection between the cultivator and the life tools was severed.

Right now, Yang Junshan had the upper hand, so naturally, he had the intention to snatch away the magic tool. It waity that at this time, the magnetic light Circle started to shake again, and as the one who laid the formation, Yang Junshan knew that this formation that he had hastily set up had already reached the edge of collapse, and there was no time for him to snatch away the magic tool that belonged to that family.

Helpless, Yang Junshan could only temporarily suppress the magic tool. Under his control, the last three spiritual energies descended layer after layer, as if chains descended on the Sirius Gate cultivator’s body, making it difficult for him to advance forward.

Yang Junshan pointed out his finger. This time, the cultivators of Sirius Gate did not have any magic tools to block it, and under the restriction of the magnetic light, they were even more unable to dodge it.

Fresh blood gurgled out from the Sirius Gate cultivator’s nose and ears, his entire body suddenly became sinister and terrifying, his internal organs had already been smashed into pulp by Yang Junshan’s Crushing Stone Technique.

It was at this time thaumbling sound was heard, and the Mountain Monarch Seal finally fell to the ground. With the support of four cultivators from the same sect, the two Sirius Gate cultivators finally broke through the barrier of the formation, but in that short period of time, four of the six Sirius Gate cultivators who were besieged by Yang Junshan’s formation had died.

“Hurry up!”

The leader of the Sirius Gate’s squad had long since lost all will to fight. After rescuing the two trapped members of the team, he fled out of the valley without looking back.

This time, four Sirius Gate s died, but at this time, Qi Zhou also fell to the ground, luckily he did not fall.

Yang Junshan looked somewhat regretfully at the broken pieces of the magic tool on the ground, which had fallen to the ground. In the end, the Sirius Gate cultivator was unable to preserve his dual trident magic tool, and at the moment of his death, his magic tool also shattered, causing Yang Junshan to cry out “Whaity.”

Suddenly, Liu Zhifei’s complacent laughter resounded in the valley: “Haha, four, killed four, haha...”
