Wan Zhong’s roar silenced everyone.
They looked at General Wan, whose eyes were
bloodshot and whose body trembled with rage, and for a moment, no one could
speak.
They fully understood General Wan’s pain and
hatred, which was why they had also reacted so furiously moments ago.
But they had to control their emotions --- this
was the basic discipline expected of a soldier.
Until orders were given, no matter how deep the
hatred, they had to endure.
However, while they endured outwardly, the fire
of anger within them did not diminish in the slightest. Instead, it grew
stronger, more intense.
It was only waiting for the moment to explode.
Amidst the heavy atmosphere, three black sedans
suddenly sped over and came to a precise stop at the main gate.
Upon seeing the license plate of the leading
vehicle, the layers of soldiers guarding the area immediately made way.
Li Guanglong, whom they had long awaited, had
finally arrived!
As the car doors opened, Li Guanglong stepped
out, followed by five elderly men in traditional Tang suits.
These five elders varied in build --- tall,
short, fat, and thin --- but all wore identical attire and exuded powerful,
unrestrained auras.
Even standing still, they seemed like towering
mountains, radiating intense pressure.
These five were elite powerhouses cultivated by
the faction behind Li Guanglong. Four were Grandmasters at the peak of their
realm, and the tall, thin leader among them had already reached the Ultimate
Grandmaster level.
One Ultimate Grandmaster and four peak
Grandmasters --- this lineup could dominate almost any region.
In the entire nation, aside from top-tier sects
like the Sword Sect, the Celestial Alliance, and the Mystic Arts Order, no
other faction could summon so many top experts at once.
(Of course, supernatural forces like Longhu Mountain
were exceptions.)
In terms of martial power, Li Guanglong was the
strongest among all the princes. His confidence in competing for the crown
prince position came from the powerful support behind him.
“Your Highness! The God King Zeus is still
inside, and every incense stick of time, he executes one person. Should we
launch an attack now?!”
Upon seeing Li Guanglong get out of the car,
Wan Zhong immediately stepped forward to request action.
His hatred had already reached its peak.
“A direct assault would not be wise. Secure all
entrances and wait for my command!” Li Guanglong responded with a dark
expression.
He had seen the broken corpses at the entrance.
In the past, he would’ve gone berserk already.
But he always remembered Eugene Montgomery’s
advice --- not to engage the Hall of the Gods in a death match unless
absolutely necessary.
Even if they won, the cost would be
devastating.
“Master, to prevent accidents, I need you five
to form a formation and surround the entire estate,” Li Guanglong said, turning
to the tall, thin elder.
“No problem.”
The elder nodded and immediately gave orders:
“Second and third, take the north and south positions. Fourth and fifth, take
east and west. I will anchor the center. Let’s show those inside what our
formation can do!”
“Yes!”
The four elders responded without hesitation.
In the blink of an eye, they turned into blurs and flew to their respective
positions in the north, south, east, and west, finally standing mid-air.
The tall, thin elder didn’t stay idle either.
With a light tap of his foot, he soared to a position directly above the
estate.
“Begin the formation!”
The elder called out.
The five simultaneously formed hand seals,
their bodies glowing with a blood-red light.
“Rise!”
With the hand seals complete, led by the tall
elder, all five pointed fiercely toward the sky.
Five beams of blood light shot out and
converged high in the sky, forming a crimson sphere of energy.
As they continued channeling energy into it,
the sphere rapidly expanded.
Within just a few breaths, it had grown to a
massive five-meter diameter.
And that wasn’t the end.
Once the energy was charged to its peak, all
five bit their fingers, formed seals again, and pointed at the glowing red
sphere.
“Five Elements Blood Fiend Formation --- Activate!”
The five shouted in unison.
In the next moment, the sphere burst into
radiant light.
A blood-red barrier spread outward from the
sphere at lightning speed.
Within just five breaths, the entire estate was
enveloped.
From a distance, it looked like a giant red
eggshell.
After the formation was completed, the color of
the barrier gradually faded until it disappeared entirely --- as if it had
never been there.
But that was only an illusion.
With a single thought from the five, the blood-red
barrier would instantly reappear.
This was their signature technique --- the
Five Elements Blood Fiend Formation!
It was both offensive and defensive and even
enhanced the strength of those maintaining it.
Most importantly, they could draw on the power
of the formation to boost their cultivation.
Unless someone used force ten times stronger
than their combined power, the formation was unbreakable.
“Your Highness, the formation is complete. You
can enter with confidence. As long as we five are here, no one can harm you!”
From above, the tall elder’s voice echoed, full
of confidence.
“Thank you, Masters!”
Li Guanglong cupped his fists to each of them in gratitude, then strode boldly into the estate alongside his personal guard, General Wan Zhong. - Marinien
