Chapter 892: Opportunity!
“Well, you guys better start thinking about how to deal with those who lost the Fate Dipper Clone earlier.” Shang Xia muttered before sending a Five Element Palm at the 2 fourth element Martial Dipper Realm experts who appeared.
As for the experts who lost their Fate Dipper Clone earlier, they might have gotten a lot weaker and were far from their peak state when they fought Shang Xia earlier, but they were still far more powerful than the Martial Extermination Realm experts of the institution!
Unfortunately, Shang Xia didn’t have the ability to care about them with the sudden arrival of powerful enemies.
They didn’t need him to say anymore as Chu Jia tossed out several formation flags the moment the fourth element Martial Dipper Realm experts appeared. Taking the chance when Shang Xia was attacking, Chu Jia called the others to her side before arranging for Liu Qinglan to be protected in the core of their formation. When they were done, they deployed their battle formation to protect themselves against their new opponents.
The Martial Dipper Realm experts didn’t dare to be careless when facing the experts of the institution. During the battle above the heavenly screen earlier, they fought with the Martial Extermination Realm experts of the Azure Ascension World.
With the support of the World’s Will, they were also able to work together in some sort of battle formation. If they pushed themselves to their limits, they were able to hold the Martial Dipper Realm experts of the Spirit Abundance World back.
Moreover, the experts of the Tongyou Institution before them didn’t seem to be deploying the same battle formation they had seen before. It was vastly different from the formation they faced in the past.
None of the Martial Dipper Realm experts present were fools. They could see that the battle formation the experts of the institution deployed was a lot more intricate than the ordinary battle formations they faced earlier.
The only difference was the unconscious expert in the middle of them. She was definitely going to affect the flexibility of their battle formation.
Every Martial Extermination Realm expert of the Tongyou Institution was in the fourth layer of the Martial Extermination Realm at the very least, and the lady who took the lead had even reached the grand completion stage of the Martial Extermination Realm! She wasn’t going to be an easy target for sure!
Glancing at each other, they launched their attacks from different directions! At the same time, 2 shadowy figures appeared from behind them as they chose to split off their Fate Dipper Clones to try to overwhelm the battle formation with brute force.
Seeing how they were about to barge into the battle formation, a loud whistle came from above. A silver streak of lightning tore through the void and slammed directly into one of the 4 figures.
A burst of lightning filled the space around them and one of the figures was completely destroyed. The expert from the Spirit Abundance World stopped abruptly and he noticed another streak of silver light tearing through the void as it headed straight for him.
“Fucking beast!” A strange cry left his lips as the Dipper Qi Protection Barrier around his body appeared in a desperate attempt to keep himself safe. The dipper qi around him turned into a giant net as it tried to grab the silver streak.
Several short chirps came from the bird’s lips and it flapped its wings once. It shattered the net that had formed before revealing itself. To their surprise, it was a rank five Lightning Bird.
They immediately started an intense battle.
The Lightning Bird might have broken through not too long ago, but the way it entered the fifth rank was by copying Shang Xia. He used the power of lightning Shang Xia created and it contained terrifying power. Its method of advancement was already extraordinary, and it also came with the power of lightning. In the same cultivation realm, there was no cultivator of spiritual creatures that could surpass the Lightning Bird in terms of speed! It also received the assistance of the World’s Will, along with other various boosts. As such, it was able to force the expert from the Spirit Abundance World into a corner.
Earlier, the Lightning Bird only followed Shang Xia’s instructions and flew behind Sun Haiwei to ensure they wouldn’t be sneak attacked.
When they noticed experts of the Spirit Abundance World keeping an eye on them, the Lightning Bird had already been circling about. When the battle broke out earlier, the Lightning Bird tore through space and started to accelerate before taking on its opponent. Only at its top speed would the Lightning Bird possess its strongest abilities. The moment a spiritual bird stopped flying, they would immediately lose their advantage.
With one of the experts held up by the Lightning Bird, the cultivator who wanted to overwhelm their battle formation earlier fell head-first into it, alone!
Amidst a massive explosion, horrifying waves of dipper qi descended. Chu Jia and the others felt the blood draining from their faces as they took on their opponent. The extermination qi in their bodies fluctuated wildly and nearly stopped circulating.
They were facing a second element Martial Dipper Realm expert, and to make things worse, it was an expert whose cultivation was only in the second element as it regressed after one of his Fate Dipper Clones was killed. His battle experience and techniques far surpassed ordinary second element Martial Dipper Realm experts!
Fortunately, the Extremity Yin Yang Battle Formation Shang Xia created in the past was also similarly extraordinary. Sun Haiwei yelled once at the critical moment and took over the main position in the battle formation from Chu Jia. She resisted the attack with everything she had.
At the same time, the others also managed to arrange their positions in the battle formation according to Sun Haiwei’s instructions. They managed to force the Martial Dipper Realm expert out of their formation before carrying out their battle.
The Extremity Yin Yang Battle Formation would only be able to display its greatest advantage when the experts surrounded their enemies in the center of the formation before grinding them down. However, Liu Qinglan was unconscious and was placed in the center of the formation at the moment. They could only use the battle formation defensively and try to force their opponent back.
As their battle raged on, Shang Xia and the 2 fourth element Martial Dipper Realm experts were also locked in a bitter fight.
Even though Shang Xia understood that he was comparable to Huang Jinghan and the others at the very top of the power pyramid in the Martial Dipper Realm, facing 2 experts at the same level wasn’t something he could do easily. He was also forced into a corner and he could barely protect himself.
At the end of the day, he overestimated himself. His cultivation rose too quickly compared to those peak-tier experts and he lacked battle experience. At the very least, he wasn’t able to use his dipper qi as nimbly as his opponents.
What he didn’t know was that his opponents were equally as shocked, if not more.
Of the 2 of them, 1 was from the Azure Island and the other was from the Essence Peak Elysium. Like the Azure Island, the Essence Peak Elysium was also one of the 9 great powers of the Spirit Abundance World.
With their background, it didn’t matter if it was their combat abilities or their insight. They were far better than experts of the same level who weren’t of the same background!
Even in the Spirit Abundance World, there were far too few experts of the same level who were their match, much less when they joined hands!
Reality was really slapping them in the face as they faced Shang Xia. Even when working together, they couldn’t do shit to the young cultivator in front of them!
They knew for a fact that they might seem to hold an advantage at the moment, but their opponent would be more than capable of retreating anytime he wished.
They could also see that the reason behind Shang Xia’s disadvantage was because of his lack of experience. He didn’t have many skills at his disposal and he probably experienced a sharp rise in cultivation. He probably didn’t have time to focus on his martial arts.
What they didn’t know was that the Tongyou Institution might possess a few sprinklings of rank five inheritances, but the most complete rank five martial arts was Kou Chongxue’s Origin Yang Sword Art. Shang Xia’s Five Element Seal was still a work in progress, and he hadn’t even reached the large completion stage in it.
Unable to do anything to Shang Xia, neither of them seemed to panic. They felt that they could easily wear Shang Xia down. Moreover, such a huge disturbance would definitely attract a few more experts...
With how the experts of the Azure Ascension World were focusing on the world ascension, it wasn’t quite possible for reinforcements from the other side to arrive. Not to mention the fact that the White Deer Paradise and the Tongyou Institution were old enemies.
Shang Xia also understood what was going on, and he tried to counterattack many times. He even risked injuries to attempt to break out of the encirclement directly.
It was a shame the experts he was facing were experienced seniors in the Martial Dipper Realm. His attempts were quickly thwarted by them and as they increased the pressure, Shang Xia started to become flustered. He could only use his divine weapon and abundant dipper qi to resist the attacks.
When Shang Xia felt that the situation would only get worse and was racking his brains to get everyone out of it, an opportunity arose. It was just that he wasn’t the cause of it.
10 or so miles away, Sun Hiawei and the others managed to heavily injure their enemy.
The Martial Dipper Realm expert locked onto their weakness the moment the battle started, and it was the unconscious Liu Qinglan who needed their protection. After several probing attacks, he decided to go all in. He tried to barge into their battle formation. With his defensive artifact in hand, he resisted their attacks as he forced his way into the center of the formation to grab Liu Qinglan.
Just as he was about to succeed, Liu Qinglan opened her eyes suddenly as her Nine Segmented Whip lashed out before the other party could react.
With how strong he was, there was no way Liu Qinglan’s lash could heavily injure him. However, no one would want to take a lash to the face if they could help it.
As he dodged, his plan to grab Liu Qinglan fell through. At the same time, the combined attacks of the other Martial Extermination Realm experts came crashing down. He was unable to hold out any longer as he tried to run.
He didn’t expect Liu Qinglan to twist her whip at the last second, latching on to him. She tried her best to hold him back.
With the great difference in strength, Liu Qinglan had been flung away from her original position. However, Neither of them left the range of the battle formation.
Sun Haiwei didn’t expect Liu Qinglan to awaken at that moment to foil the other party’s plans. A mixture of shock and excitement filled her heart.
They wanted to know what was going on, but it was clearly not the best time to ask. All of them had been working together for a long time and their synergy was strong. They knew what each other would do next and the 5-man battle formation suddenly increased to a 6-man battle formation. All of them started to coordinate with Liu Qinglan as they launched a vicious counterattack.
When deployed properly, everyone in the Extremity Yin Yang Battle Formation would experience an increase in strength!
With his hand caught in the whip, the expert from the Spirit Abundance World was unable to unleash his full strength. The other side suddenly gained an expert in the large completion stage of the Martial Extermination Realm and with the winds of counterattack, he was quickly surrounded. The defensive artifact in his hand was quickly blasted away and he was forced into a sorry state.
The experts of the institution were clearly not going to show mercy. Whenever their opponent tried to rouse his dipper qi, they would fuse their extermination qi and forcefully suppress him.
Every time that happened, there would also be a few of them who tossed out a rank four talisman at the Martial Dipper Realm expert. Sometimes, a rain of sword qi would fall on him, and other times, he would be swallowed by a giant sun. Some icicles stabbed at him from time to time, not giving him a chance to catch his breath.
The expert from the Spirit Abundance World understood that if things kept up, he would perish in the hands of Martial Extermination Realm ants from the other world! It would be too embarrassing if that were to happen!
Helpless, he had to prioritize saving his life. He split off his clone that he called back earlier and got rid of the Nine Segmented Whip. Eventually, he managed to escape from their battle formation by the time Sun Haiwei discovered what happened, his true body was gone. There was no suspense right after that. His Fate Dipper Clone was easily destroyed.
