Chapter 11: Strikes to kill
Just as Zhang Brothers were attacking Taiyi Sect's Sect Protecting Formation, Zhen Ling (True Spirit) Daoist arrived outside Taiyi Sect with his disciple Li Jie. Seeing the Formation starting to operate and Zhang Brothers already rushing in, Zhen Ling (True Spirit) hesitated for a moment, then quickly made up his mind. He took out a token from his storage bag and gently waved it, causing a portal to appear within the Sect Protecting Formation. With a beckon to Li Jie, Zhen Ling (True Spirit) led him into the Formation.
Inside the Formation, Zhen Ling (True Spirit) once again waved the token. However, this time, the once effective token had no effect. The overwhelming yellow sand quickly enveloped the confused Zhen Ling (True Spirit) and Li Jie. As Taiyi Sect's former Sect Master Elder Profound Spirit's junior brother, Zhen Ling (True Spirit) had some control over the Sect Protecting Formation with the token in his possession. He thought that he could assist Zhang Brothers in breaking the Formation quickly, but unexpectedly, the token lost its effect once inside the Formation. During the attack launched by Meng Zhang to encircle Zhang Brothers, he had used the Sect Master seal to cancel Zhen Ling (True Spirit) Daoist's control over the token.
Feeling a bit panicked when he realized that the token was no longer functioning, Zhen Ling (True Spirit) Daoist took out a dust whisk. He waved the whisk, and countless thin threads on it danced, tightly protecting his body. As for his disciple Li Jie, he could only rely on his own luck.
On the other side of the Formation, Boss Zhang, after attacking for a while without much effect, felt that something was amiss. This Yellow Sand Hidden Trace Formation seemed different from the ones he had encountered before. It was unusually resilient, and despite using various methods, he couldn't shake the Formation at all. Little did Boss Zhang know that this seemingly ordinary Yellow Sand Hidden Trace Formation secretly contained the power of the yuan magnetic force, which caused its various changes.
Boss Zhang inwardly sighed, thinking he could save one Formation Breaking Talisman, but it seemed that it was impossible now. He took out a First Rank superior Formation Breaking Talisman from his storage bag, ready to use it at any moment. Formation Breaking Talismans were special talismans specifically designed to break formations. Among talismans of the same level, they were the most difficult to refine and extremely rare. While lower-grade Formation Breaking Talismans could occasionally be found on the market, higher-grade ones were not only more precious than talismans of the same level but also rarely available.
Once Boss Zhang activated the Formation Breaking Talisman in his hand, even if it couldn't completely break Taiyi Sect's Sect Protecting Formation, it could disrupt its operation and temporarily stall it. At that moment, Zhang Brothers could take advantage of the opening and completely massacre Taiyi Sect.
Meng Zhang's main focus was on Boss Zhang after using the Formation's power to trap the enemies in three separate places. Every move of Boss Zhang was carefully observed by him. The fact that Boss Zhang possessed a Formation Breaking Talisman was quite unexpected. When he was preparing to use the Formation Breaking Talisman, Meng Zhang knew that they were now at a critical moment of life and death.
Meng Zhang raised the Spiritsnake Spear, pointing it towards Boss Zhang, and activated the Lesser Yang True Qi within his body, infusing it into the Spiritsnake Spear. Sensing the familiar aura, the remaining spirituality of the Spiritsnake Spear was stimulated. A blazing light burst forth from the tip of the Spiritsnake Spear, ignoring the barriers of the Formation and accurately striking Boss Zhang's upper body. Boss Zhang's upper body disappeared, leaving only his lower half.
Zhang Lao San, who was trapped together with Boss Zhang, seemed stunned and stopped attacking the Formation. The power of the Spiritsnake Spear was so terrifying that even Meng Zhang was astonished. Even though Boss Zhang was a skilled Refining Qi stage cultivator, he was effortlessly killed without any resistance. One could only wonder how terrifying the full power of the intact Spiritsnake Spear would be.
Feeling somewhat unsatisfied, Meng Zhang was initially prepared to make another move. However, looking at the dimmed tip of the Spiritsnake Spear, he gave up on that idea. The previous strike had caused considerable damage to the Spiritsnake Spear, and he didn't know how long it would take to recover within the spiritual eye.
With Boss Zhang, the most formidable enemy, eliminated, the remaining enemies should be dealt with using the power of the Formation. The Yellow Sand Hidden Trace Formation was constructed with the support of Taiyi Sect's First Rank superior spirit vein, which provided the spiritual energy as the driving force. Normally, to avoid burdening the spirit vein too much, most of the functions of the Sect Protecting Formation were kept closed. Now that the enemies had come knocking on the door, it was no longer a time to be concerned about the burden on the spirit vein.
Putting away the Spiritsnake Spear, Meng Zhang began to fully activate the Sect Protecting Formation. Inside the Formation, numerous inexplicable forces of traction emerged, making those trapped within the Formation lose their balance and stagger around. Zhang Second, who was holding the golden knife, felt as if an unseen force was constantly pulling at his knife. Despite exerting all his strength to grip it, he felt that he was about to lose hold of the knife.
Concealed under the cover of the swirling yellow sand, the yuan magnetic force hidden within the Sect Protecting Formation was secretly activated by Meng Zhang. The weakest among them, Li Jie, who was at the Refining Qi Triple stage, was the first to be unable to withstand it. The unseen force of traction within the Formation made him lose his balance. After struggling for a while, he couldn't maintain his stability and fell heavily to the ground. The swarming yellow sand quickly engulfed his body, and before long, Li Jie lost all signs of life.
Soon after the influx of the yuan magnetic force into the Formation, the magic tools held by the trapped people, especially those made of metal, were immediately subjected to inexplicable traction, becoming difficult to control. Zhang Second screamed in agony as the tip of his golden knife was forcibly broken off, and the knife flew out of his hand. The true qi he had infused into the knife backfired, causing him significant injuries. The yellow sand containing the yuan magnetic force swept over him, wrapping around his body. Once the sand subsided, his mutilated body fell heavily to the ground.
Among the Zhang Brothers, Zhang Lao San survived the longest. Like Li Jie, he was buried alive by the yellow sand and met his end through suffocation.
Meng Zhang harbored the deepest hatred for traitor Zhen Ling (True Spirit) Daoist. Empowered by the yuan magnetic force, the yellow sand became extremely hard and fiercely powerful. Under Meng Zhang's control, it shot towards Zhen Ling (True Spirit) Daoist like bullets, continuously inflicting wounds upon him. Zhen Ling (True Spirit) Daoist's protective whisk was broken, and his body was riddled with countless holes, bleeding profusely.
Having completely annihilated the invading enemies, Meng Zhang still felt somewhat unsatisfied. He noticed that the three wind chasing horses ridden by Zhang Brothers had never left but were circling around the edge of the Formation, as if waiting for their owners' return. Wind chasing horses were valuable treasures, and there was no reason to let go of such spoils that came right to them.
Meng Zhang waved the Sect Master seal, and within the Formation, enormous forces of traction emerged, directly pulling the three wind chasing horses into the Sect Protecting Formation. Once inside, the swirling yellow sand and pervasive yuan magnetic force immediately disoriented the three wind chasing horses, completely trapping them.
