Starting as a Snake: Defying Heaven with Invincibility

Chapter 42 – Series of formations layered together



"Not good!"

Boom!

A sound like the sky collapsing and the earth shattering echoed as Yan Jing's sword light was brutally destroyed. The crimson longsword shattered with a "bang," and the remaining force mercilessly smashed into Yan Jing.

"Crack!"

The sound of bones breaking resounded as Yan Jing's chest completely caved in. He spat out a mouthful of black blood and flew backward, crashing into the ground and leaving a large pit, lying there like a dead dog.

That single strike shattered all his internal organs, instantly draining his life. On Yan Jing's pale face, there was still a look of shock. He never imagined that a simple strike could break through his Profound-level martial arts and kill him.

"You have killed a level 15 wild monster, gaining 11,000 experience points! (Level challenge bonus 100%, team reward 20%)" Xiao Long's experience bar surged significantly.

"How is this possible!" Xue Wuqing stared in disbelief at the scene.

Before Yan Jing made his move, he had considered many possible outcomes, even if Yan Jing was possessed by a strange flame and burned alive, he wouldn't be surprised.

But he never expected that the opponent would charge head-on and kill Yan Jing with a simple, unadorned strike.

The members of the Fire Cloud Sect were also dumbfounded.

"Elder Xue, this person's aura is very similar to a demon beast. I suspect he is a beast warrior from the Beast Taming Sect," said a white-haired elder beside him.

Xue Wuqing suddenly realized, his eyes narrowing, and noticed a tuft of brown hair on Huang Mao's arm.

We are ", find us on google.

"Indeed, a beast warrior. He must have used a secret beast transformation technique just now, which caused his power to surge!" Xue Wuqing said coldly.

"But the Beast Taming Sect is far from our sect, with no conflicting interests. I suspect it's the Hidden Poison Sect, framing us to provoke a conflict with the Beast Taming Sect," Xue Wuqing recalled the two vultures he had seen earlier, his gaze growing colder.

"Regardless, capture this person and search his soul. Any conspiracy will be exposed!" the white-haired elder said.

Xue Wuqing nodded.

"Li brothers, I'll trouble you," Xue Wuqing said.

"Leave it to us!" The two elders beside him cupped their hands.

These two had powerful auras, second only to Xue Wuqing in the crowd, both at the tenth level of the Qi Condensing Realm, and remarkably similar in appearance, none other than the famous Li brothers of the Fire Cloud Sect.

Without verbal communication, the two instantly charged out. One leaped up, aiming a palm at Huang Mao's forehead, while the other circled to the side, attacking Huang Mao's right arm. It seemed like a feint, but in reality, they were preparing a move, closely watching for any evasive maneuvers from Huang Mao, cutting off his escape.

Their coordination was flawless, sealing off all of Huang Mao's vital points.

Facing their pincer attack, Huang Mao still responded with a simple strike.

"Pathetic!"

Estimating the power of this strike, the Li brothers shook their heads. One aimed at the stick, while the other went straight for the face, determined to kill with one blow.

"Kid, in your next life, keep your eyes open. Not every force can be provoked..." The Li brothers hadn't even finished the word "crime" when their expressions suddenly froze as if they had seen something terrifying.

"Not good!"

"Retreat!"

"Ah!!"

Amidst everyone's gaze, a piercing scream rang out. A spiritual Qi blade flew from nowhere, slicing through the air, severing one of the Li elder's arms, then seamlessly cutting into the other Li elder's shoulder, slicing down to the waist, splitting him in half.

"Ahhh!!"

The bisected elder fell to the ground, his head and half his body shattered like a watermelon under Huang Mao's strike, exploding into a mess of flesh.

"Second brother!" Seeing this, the remaining Li elder's eyes turned blood red, his face twisted in grief and rage.

But in the next moment, his pupils froze.

Whoosh!

Like a gust of wind passing by, everyone saw the Li elder still in mid-air, but his head seemed to be sliced by an invisible blade, splitting in two, falling powerlessly to the ground.

"You have killed a level 20 wild monster, gaining 40,000 experience points! (Level challenge bonus 100%!)"

"You have killed a level 20 wild monster, gaining 40,000 experience points! (Level challenge bonus 100%!)"

As the bodies hit the ground with a heavy thud, the elders stood there in shock, eyes wide open.

The peak combat power of the elder council, the renowned Li brothers of Tianfeng Kingdom, were dead just like that?

Everyone struggled to accept this reality, but the Li brothers' bodies lay before them, undeniable proof.

"There's a formation!"

"It's a level ten killing formation!!"@@novelbin@@

The crowd suddenly realized that, given the circumstances, only a level ten killing formation could have killed the Li brothers.

"Retreat quickly!" Xue Wuqing shouted.

A level ten killing formation was no joke. Among the twenty or so elders, aside from him, no one could withstand it. If even the Li brothers were ambushed and killed, wouldn't the others be like fish on a chopping block, waiting to be slaughtered?

Just as Xue Wuqing's words fell.

The surroundings began to blur, as if enveloped in thick fog. Within two breaths, visibility dropped to zero, and even face-to-face, they couldn't see each other's faces.

Xue Wuqing tried to extend his spiritual sense, only to find it blocked.

"Level ten illusion formation!" Xue Wuqing gritted out the words through clenched teeth. Hearing these words, everyone's hearts sank.

In addition to the level ten killing formation, there was a level ten illusion formation!

It turned out this wasn't just one formation but a series of formations layered together!

When had such a grand scheme been laid here, waiting for them to fall into the trap?

Everyone from the Fire Cloud Sect huddled together, their expressions more serious than ever.

"Everyone, let's concentrate our attack on one point. Even a level ten illusion formation can't withstand so many of us attacking," someone suggested.

Swoosh!

As soon as the words were spoken, the sound of a blade slicing through flesh was heard, followed by a man's anguished scream.

"Ahhh! Don't kill me!"

"Elder Xue, save me!!"

"Ah!!"

It seemed the opponent was doing this intentionally, as the man's screams of being tortured echoed clearly for everyone to hear, his situation imaginable.

But under the level ten illusion formation, nothing could be seen, and they couldn't even protect themselves, let alone save others.

The next moment, they heard a series of horrifying sounds of flesh being torn apart. After one final wail, the screams abruptly stopped, as if the man had died.

The scene fell silent, not a sound to be heard.
