Chapter 2359: Chapter 2363: Formidable Grand Array
Feng Qingyang’s words brought a trace of surprise to everyone’s faces.
Fengchen Academy had always been targeting Changlin Academy. Jiang Chen had almost eliminated all of Fengchen Academy’s members in retaliation, yet Feng Qingyang still sided with Jiang Chen?
Seemingly sensing the crowd’s confusion, Feng Qingyang said in a low voice, "The competition between academies is just that, between academies. However, there is destined to be a battle between Jiang Chen and me. I do not want to owe him any favors, for if I do, I won’t be able to fight him with my full strength when the time comes!"
The crowd was slightly taken aback, their eyes showing a hint of approval. Feng Qingyang’s clear distinction between gratitude and grievances was quite admirable to them.
"What? Afraid to make a move? If you are, then get lost immediately, or else you’ll all die here today!"
A loud shout rang out as Li Kuiyong’s patience wore thin, unleashing a formidable aura and a dazzling golden divine light soared into the sky.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
As Li Kuiyong burst forth with his aura, hundreds of resplendent divine lights erupted within Black Tiger Stockade. Over a hundred bandits appeared above the stockade, coldly staring at Liu Chang and the others.
"They’re about to make a move!"
Liu Chang spoke in a low voice, glancing around but still failing to find Jiang Chen’s figure, his expression darkening.
Whiz! Whiz! Whiz!
Just then, hundreds of Spirit Stones suddenly scattered around the entrance of Black Tiger Stockade, accompanied by a light chuckle: "In such a rush? How about chatting a bit longer?"
The crowd was taken aback upon hearing this and looked up towards the sky.
At this moment, a slightly slender figure was standing suspended about a hundred meters above the entrance of Black Tiger Stockade.
"Jiang Chen!"
Inside the gatehouse, Liu Yunjian gritted his teeth, glaring at Jiang Chen in the air.
Pang Wei was staring at the hundreds of Spirit Stones, watching them disappear abruptly after falling into different positions in front of the stockade’s entrance.
"Formation?! Those hundred Forest Wolves..."
Pang Wei’s face suddenly changed, yelling towards Li Kuiyong and others at the gatehouse, "Chief Li, quickly, kill Jiang Chen, he’s set up a formation around the stockade. He once used a formation to kill over a hundred late-stage grade five Forest Wolves!"
"What?!"
"Formation?!"
"He’s an Array Master?!"
"He used a formation to kill a hundred late-stage grade five beasts?!"
Li Kuiyong and a few others’ faces changed drastically upon hearing this, quickly looking up at Jiang Chen.
"Pang Wei!"
Hearing this, Jiang Chen frowned, glancing towards the gatehouse, just seeing the people inside through the window from his position.
"Charge out!"
Li Kuiyong didn’t bother considering whether Pang Wei’s words were true or false, he yelled loudly, swiftly charging towards Jiang Chen, with the other four deputy chiefs and over a hundred bandits rushing outside the stockade.
"Too late!"
Jiang Chen formed a seal with his hands, shouting, "Formation, rise!"
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Tens of thousands of beams of light lit up outside Black Tiger Stockade, surrounding it in the middle, and instantly forming a light barrier that covered the entire stockade.
Simultaneously, Liu Chang and the five others leaped into the air, blocking Li Kuiyong and the four others who had already leaped out of the stockade, while over a hundred bandits, along with Liu Yunjian and the rest, were all trapped inside the formation!
"Four Symbols Demon-Breaking Formation! Four Spirits Gather!"
Jiang Chen shouted.
Howl!
Roar!
The formation flickered, and four enormous beast shadows separated from the formation, transforming into a dragon, a tiger, a sparrow, and a turtle!
The four massive beast shadows quickly rushed towards the center of the sky within the formation. When the four shadows collided, instead of causing any energy explosion, they instantly fused together, forming a gigantic sky-piercing blade!
The blade body stretched tens of meters long, emanating a fierce aura of slaughter from the gigantic blade, spreading instantly throughout Black Tiger Stockade.
Everyone in the stockade turned pale, as if that fierce aura had pierced straight into their hearts!
"What a powerful formation!"
Feng Qingyang and the others looked with shock at the huge longsword in the sky, their eyes showing a hint of horror. They felt an oppressive and suffocating pressure from the longsword. If that blade were to fall, they were not confident they could survive!
"Slash!"
As soon as the giant blade appeared, Jiang Chen changed hand seals, pointing remotely at the hundreds of bandits within Black Tiger Stockade.
Swoosh!
The giant blade plummeted, slashing fiercely towards those hundreds of silhouettes.
"How dare you!"
Li Kuiyong’s face changed drastically, roaring in anger.
The oppressive force from the giant blade made even him feel terrified. If the blade descended, his people in the stockade would likely suffer heavy casualties.
Bang!
A great booming sound occurred as Li Kuiyong clashed palms with Liu Chang, using the rebound force to quickly charge towards Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen was the controller of the formation; as long as Jiang Chen was killed, the formation would naturally stop!
In Li Kuiyong’s view, Jiang Chen was merely a Mid Divine Infant Realm cultivator, and he only needed one move to kill him!
"Stay here for me!"
Liu Chang roared, emitting a dazzling Great Dao Divine Light all over, flashing his body, and suddenly appearing in front of Li Kuiyong, blocking him once again.
"Speed of Light? You’ve actually comprehended the method of moving at light speed?!"
Li Kuiyong’s face changed, exclaiming loudly.
At that moment, the giant blade fiercely cut into the Black Tiger Stockade below.
Rumble!
"Ah!"
"Chief, save us!"
"No!"
A great rumbling noise rose, accompanied by shrieks and cries of agony.
The entire Black Tiger Stockade was cut down by the giant blade, raising clouds of dust everywhere!
"Bastard! I’ll kill you!"
Li Kuiyong’s face changed dramatically, the collapse of Black Tiger Stockade ignited his burning rage. This was his business empire built up over decades, and it was destroyed under his very eyes!
"You won’t kill anyone!"
Liu Chang’s face went cold, pressing close and winding around Li Kuiyong.
Whiz! Whiz! Whiz!
Dozens of figures flew up from the collapsed Black Tiger Stockade, and dozens of mid-stage Divine Infant Realm bandits floated in the air above the stockade, looking in astonishment at Jiang Chen in the sky outside the stockade.
Meanwhile, as the stockade collapsed, seven figures flew out from the gatehouse, hiding in a corner of the ruined stockade.
The battle situation had not yet fully clarified. Without certainty of being able to detain Jiang Chen and others, Liu Yunjian and the rest dared not show themselves; they couldn’t bear the charge of slaughtering Changling Academy’s students!
"This formation is a one-time formation, his Spiritual Power has been exhausted, break the formation, kill them!"
Li Kuiyong glanced at the dozens of subordinates above the stockade, shouting.
Hearing his words, those dozens of people’s eyes all revealed sinister gleams; since the formation was useless now, they had no fear of Jiang Chen and the others of the same realm, especially given they numbered ten times more.
Feng Qingyang and the others’ expressions changed, their bodies flashing as they leapt to Jiang Chen’s side, protecting him in the middle. They didn’t know if the formation was really exhausted, but as long as the light barrier wasn’t removed, they couldn’t let anyone disturb Jiang Chen.
