Chapter 387 387: Slipping Through the Net (Golden Cicada Shedding its Shell)
The Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Array, like other great formations, had a fatal flaw.
It was that once a person was killed, the entire formation would be broken.
Of course, there were legendary Immortal Level combination formations that overcame this weakness.
Even if someone in the formation was killed, it would still run perfectly.
Unfortunately, the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Array was not one of them.
As the formation broke, the aura assaulting Xu Nian's true body from the Battle King dissipated as well.
At this moment, he had regained his original strength.

The Sword Qi slashing towards Xu Nian also became much weaker.
Xu Nian cracked a slight smile, his Immortal Sword transforming into a blur of shadows.
This Seven-star Level Immortal King was cleaved in two as easily as if he were being chopped like vegetables.
Xu Nian did not cease his assault.
Three figures turned into shadows, slashing towards the remaining Battle Kings.
"What?"
The three Saints, witnessing this from afar, all revealed expressions of shock.
The Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Array was broken so quickly.
It seemed the Dark Avatar truly was the nemesis of this combination formation.
"Aaaah..."
At that moment, a series of screams rang out.
One saw three Xu Nians wielding their swords rapidly, mowing down the Battle King powerhouses' heads like cutting leeks.
In just a mere second, more than a dozen Battle Kings had fallen to Xu Nian's sword.
Xu Nian was too strong; these Battle Kings had no power to fight back.
It was if they stood there, awaiting Xu Nian's slaughter.
"Stop!"
The three Saints cried out upon seeing this, acting immediately.
They all made a move, each targeting one of the Xu Nians.
If they did not intervene, Xu Nian would kill off all these Battle Kings.
Xu Nian, sensing the Saints' approach, instantly revealed a trace of a cold smile.
He met the attacking Saints head-on.
"Boom!"
Two of the Dark Avatars faced one Battle King and the Peak of Body King.
They lasted only a moment before being shattered.
These Dark Avatars were condensed from Spiritual Energy by Xu Nian.
They were not real flesh and could not last long; moreover, they had no defense whatsoever.
Of course, they had served their purpose.
Now, even if they were blasted apart, it didn't matter.
"Clang!"
On the other side, Xu Nian blocked a palm strike from a Battle Saint with his sword.
Utilizing the force transmitted through the Immortal Sword, he put some distance between himself and the three Saints.
The Saints' expressions were not good.
Though they had timely intervened and stopped Xu Nian,
out of the thirty-six Battle Kings, only nine remained.
In an instant, more than twenty Battle Kings were dead.
This was undoubtedly a massive loss for their Desolate Hall.
"Good, truly exhilarating! Young brother, thank you for lending a hand and helping me kill these scum," the Bull Demon King walked up to Xu Nian, laughing heartily.
His voice was so loud that Xu Nian's eardrums ached from the vibration.
"Haha, I already had a grudge against them, and even if it weren't for you, I would have intervened. But, seeing so many of them bullying you alone, I couldn't stand by and watch," Xu Nian laughed.
He also greatly liked the Bull Demon King's character.
It was certain that the Bull Demon King was a man of straightforward nature.
"Haha, great, you truly are a loyal person, young brother. From today onwards, you are my brother, Bull Demon King," the Bull Demon King said, clapping Xu Nian on the shoulder.
Xu Nian was taken aback!
"We're brothers just like that?"
"The Bull Demon King is being far too rash, isn't he?"
"Is he not afraid that I, too, am here to snatch that Token and am approaching him on purpose?"
But upon further thought, with the Bull Demon King's simple mind, he probably couldn't think that far ahead.
The three Saints standing nearby looked at Xu Nian, who was conversing with the Bull Demon King, their eyes filled with rage.
These two were conspiring together, which was extremely disadvantageous for them!
"Yuan Feng, kill them. We absolutely cannot let them escape," instructed the elder at the Peak of One-star Body King.
"Big brother, rest assured. Once I make my move, there's no way they can escape," the previously talking elder responded and then turned his head to look at Xu Nian, his eyes filled with killing intent.
He had just clashed with Xu Nian.
To his surprise, Xu Nian had blocked his palm strike, which greatly annoyed him.
Him, a One-star Battle Saint, was actually blocked by a youth who was not even a Nine-star Battle King.
If word of this got out, where would he put his face?
"Xu Nian, you killed so many from our Desolate Hall; today, there's no escaping for you," the elder said with a cold snort.
"Ha-ha, I never intended to run. It's probably you who should be worried about escaping," Xu Nian laughed heartily. He was far from retreating in the face of the Saint's threats; instead, he carried an air of arrogance.
"Such arrogance, you're courting death!" Yuan Feng roared in anger, and the aura of a Saint burst forth from his body.
A strong oppressive force surged towards Xu Nian.
Yet, Xu Nian stood his ground, immovable.
No matter how turbulent the elder's momentum was, Xu Nian was like a massive rock in a violent wind, unshakable.
"Brother Xu, let me handle this. You're no match for him," said the Bull Demon King.
He could see that Xu Nian's cultivation had not reached the Battle Saint Realm.
The gulf between a Battle King and a Battle Saint was insurmountable.
So, he simply assumed Xu Nian was no match for the elder.
"Brother Niu, just watch from the side. Leave these three to me," said Xu Nian with a smile.
With that, Xu Nian stepped forward.
The Bull Demon King was taken aback but seeing Xu Nian's serious expression, he quietly stepped aside.
He was already seriously injured and no match for these Saints.
His offer to step in was, in fact, nothing more than a desire to not implicate Xu Nian.
"Hmph, so full of yourself. Today, I'll show you just how powerful a Saint really is," snorted the Battle Saint.
Then, he charged at Xu Nian with a terrifying momentum.
Xu Nian smiled faintly and stepped forward.
The apparition of the Immortal King Laurel Map instantly appeared behind him.
His own aura surged explosively in an instant.
Xu Nian immediately drew his sword and slashed at the elder.
The sword light was fierce, and the Azure Dragon roared.
Two beams of Azure Dragon Sword Qi burst forth from the sword, charging fiercely at the Battle Saint.
"Hmph, petty tricks, be shattered!"
With a disdainful snort, the Battle Saint slapped with his palm.
The two beams of Sword Qi that Xu Nian had released were instantly shattered.
The remnants of the broken Sword Qi turned and surged toward Xu Nian.
Xu Nian's gaze sharpened.
He immediately struck out with his sword!
Heavenly Slash cleaved through the mountains, smashing all the incoming Sword Qi into dust.
"Hmph, boy, prepare to die!"
As Xu Nian dispelled the onslaught of Sword Qi Storm,
The elder's figure shot through the storm towards him.
He struck down viciously towards Xu Nian's chest with his palm, which contained a powerful force. This palm was unstoppable by anyone below the level of a Saint.
Obviously, the elder intended to end Xu Nian with a single strike.
However, he had still underestimated Xu Nian.
As his palm came down, Xu Nian's entire body instantly turned into black mist.
"What? A Dark Avatar again?"
The elder was shocked and confused about how Xu Nian had managed to escape right under his nose.
What do you think?
