"The Yan Clan is going to lose the first battle."
The eyes of the spectators gleamed with sharpness, their hearts were as clear as a mirror.
Yan Zhong and the other experts of the Yan Clan could also tell that Di Tian's formation-breaking methods were extremely powerful. He directly summoned a heavenly hammer that seemed to be born from the forging of an astral soul. It could directly imprint runic diagrams into an attack, directly using it to break formations. Also, because it was proficient in suppressive energy, it was extremely suitable for breaking formations.
And as expected, not long after, the formation was completely sealed. The formation grandmaster of the Yan Clan was defeated in the first battle.
However, things weren't so easy for the Yan Clan's expert. First, his emperor light was sealed. After that, boundless sealing light poured into his body, sealing away his law energy. In fact, even the energy flowing through his body was sealed, causing his combat prowess to weaken unceasingly. Those outside the formation didn't experience this personally, they naturally wouldn't understand.
"Grandmaster Di, victory and defeat have already been decided. Is this enough?" Yan Zhong spoke, indicating for Di Tian to release the Yan Clan's expert.
"He is already trapped within the formation. It's already too late." Di Tian spoke. As the sound of his voice faded, numerous sealing swords manifested, directly penetrating through the body of the Yan Clan's expert. That mid-stage immortal emperor actually felt his limbs being restrained, allowing the countless swords to penetrate through him. After that, he collapsed within the formation, dying.
At this instant, silence filled the air. Everyone stared in shock at Di Tian. He actually killed the Yan Clan's expert.
This Grandmaster Di actually killed a mid-stage immortal emperor from the Yan Clan. Not only that, the Yan Clan was also a grandmaster of formations. Also, this was done in the Yan Aristocrat Clan. This was simply audacious.
"Impudent!" The experts of the Yan Clan all had cold expressions on their faces. Someone berated. In fact, there were even several experts who stepped out.
Di Tian glanced at them as he calmly spoke, "Can't you guys afford to lose?"
"Step down." Yan Zhong berated, stopping everyone. The expressions of the Yan Clan's experts were extremely ugly to behold as they stared fixedly at Di Tian.
"Grandmaster Di, I invited you to challenge us. But by doing this, are you planning to become enemies with my Yan Clan?" Yan Zhong's voice was cold to the extreme. A mid-stage immortal emperor grandmaster was a great loss to his Yan Clan. In addition, he was killed in public. One could very well imagine how he was feeling right now.
"A straightforward person doesn't need to resort to insinuations. Why must you be so hypocritical? Back then when I was cultivating at home, members of your Yan Clan directly came to provoke me, acting all high and mighty and even injuring my serving girl. I naturally came here to seek justice. Before I even entered the Yan Clan, there was already an array platform waiting for me. Now that you say this is a sparring match, you actually set up a killing array. What is the meaning of this?" Di Tian straightforwardly spoke, "If it wasn't so, I, Di, wouldn't have added a killing formation into the formation. If the person who died earlier was me, I believe the Yan Clan wouldn't have the slightest bit of sympathy. They would only think that I was courting death, overestimating my own capabilities."
Everyone felt their hearts trembling when they heard Di Tian's words. His words weren't wrong, the truth was as such. The Yan Clan laid down a killing formation, their intentions were clear without words. Sadly, Di Tian directly broke it apart and the people of the Yan Clan died instead.
Although the logic was as such, this was still the Yan Aristocrat Clan after all. It was only natural for the Yan Clan to do so. Di Tian directly replied in such a domineering manner, speaking so frankly. This was simply too brazen.
In addition, did Di Tian really come to the Yan Clan just to seek justice for his serving girl?
Although she knew that it was fake, that serving girl of the immortal king Di Tian still felt touched in her heart. She stared at the back view of that arrogant figure as pride flashed in her eyes.
Di Tian directly tore apart the pretense of cordiality. Yan Zhong's expression turned heavy as killing intent gushed forth from him.
"Since you said this, don't blame my Yan Clan for being ruthless. How do you intend to fight the second battle?" Yan Zhong coldly asked.
"Martial formation." Di Tian calmly spoke. Yan Zhong then called out, "Yan Mu, you will fight this battle."
"Right." A voice rang out from afar. After that, a figure walked out from the Yan Clan.
"Grandmaster Yan Mu." The eyes of everyone flashed. This Yan Mu was extremely famous. His attainments in formations were extremely high and he had been famous for a very long time. Before this, he didn't come here because he originally didn't intend to fight. However, he was forced to fight by Di Tian.
"Grandmaster Yan Mu's formations are already extremely powerful, able to instantly form a formation. Di Tian will be in danger if he fights for the martial battle. This Yan Clan is truly bullying the weak." Everyone mused silently. Naturally, they didn't dare to say anything. Since all pretense of cordiality was already torn apart, the Yan Clan naturally wouldn't be polite to Di Tian. It was only logical that they sent out a powerful character to fight.
Yan Mu was very old and his hair was white. However, his cultivation base was extremely profound and his aura was extremely powerful. He stood in the air as his long robes fluttered despite there being no wind. His imposing eyes were filled with spirit as he stared at Di Tian, "Junior, how can you succeed if you don't know how to keep a low profile? My Yan Clan has been established for so many years, how can you dare to provoke us?"
Di Tian's eyes were as cold as ever. He stared at Yan Mu, "You are old."
These few simple words contained a strong sense of contempt. Yan Mu's expression turned even colder. Dazzling emperor light shone down and landed on his body. He soared into the air and flew towards the sky.
Di Tian similarly flew up as astral light cascaded down on him. Both of them were extremely dazzling. Even in places extremely far away from the Yan Clan, these two silhouettes could still be seen.
Yan Mu was also proficient in sword-attributed energy. Swords were proficient in killing. Formations grandmasters were proficient in sword formations and wouldn't be at a disadvantage when it came to attacking formations. This was especially so for powerful sword formations.
Since this was a battle between formations, it naturally couldn't be purely based on innate techniques. Each and every attack had to be a formation.
Yan Mu pressed his palm into the air. In an instant, boundless emperor light cascaded down, interweaving into a resplendent divine inscription diagram that took the form of a sword. There seemed to be a formless' sword 'character in the air, slashing down from the heavens and earth. Even space itself was about to be sliced apart by this sword formation.
The might of this sword formation was about to descend upon Di Tian's body.
Around Di Tian, boundless sword light also cascaded down, unceasingly converging into runic inscriptions. The sharp swords actually transformed into numerous sealing gates, sealing the space he was in. When the terrifying might of the sword formation slashed over, the sealing gates were still incomparably sturdy.
Yan Mu naturally wouldn't give up this opportunity to attack. He stretched his hand out in the air, only to see that in that space, boundless runic light interweaved together to form a terrifying hole. There seemed to be countless sharp swords brewing within, transforming into a terrifying storm of sword qi that gushed towards Di Tian.
Di Tian's hands unceasingly formed seals as constellations appeared behind him. In an instant, in the boundless space, boundless law energy drifted about, resembling snowflakes drifting down. There was no might contained within, but Yan Mu felt that something was wrong.
"Seal." Di Tian spoke. The drifting law energy suddenly transformed into runic inscriptions, forming a formation with a single thought. A terrifying prison of sealing appeared in the air, sealing this entire battlefield within. Yan Mu's eyes narrowed, he could no longer sense astral light. The outside world was sealed but Di Tian wasn't affected at all. Because, this was his seal. The astral light from the heavens unceasingly descended upon the prison of sealing, strengthening it.
"SLASH!" Yan Mu controlled the terrifying sword formation, wanting to slash apart the prison. However, he only saw Di Tian walking out from the sealing gate. Di Tian pointed his finger forward as the formation actually started to shrink. The prison of sealing shrank unceasingly, but its power grew even more terrifying as it rapidly enveloped Yan Mu.
Yan Mu's sword formation had no way to break the seal. With a loud roar, Yan Mu seemed to have forgotten the agreement that he had to use his Dao of Formations to fight against Di Tian. He released other types of energy but the sealing formation was already right before him. It grew smaller and smaller, directly enveloping him within.
"Yan Mu." Yan Zhong's expression changed. From afar, a few powerful auras gushed forth. After that, the crowd only saw the prison of sealing directly transforming into a speck of light. With a thunderous boom, it exploded apart and Yan Mu's body also vanished along with the destruction of the prison. He was killed on the spot.
From the Yan Aristocrat Clan, a famed expert in the field of formations was killed by Di Tian.
Numerous tyrannical auras gushed forth. There were actually several peak-stage immortal emperors stepping out, their auras incomparably terrifying. Their killing intent towered up into the sky as they stared at Di Tian with incomparable coldness.
After all, Di Tian was only an initial-stage immortal emperor. Although he had some fame, the fact that an elder of the Yan Clan came out to deal with him was already enough for the Yan Clan to take this matter seriously. However, they didn't expect that they actually failed and even lost two of their experts.
Although the Yan Clan was an aristocrat clan that specialized in formations, they couldn't afford to suffer such a loss. This was especially so for Yan Mu. He originally had an extraordinary status in the Yan Clan but he actually died in a battle of formations.
Those spectators who came to the Yan Clan to spectate felt their hearts pounding as a thought appeared in their minds.
Di Tian was about to become famous. Also, it wasn't just a little bit famous like before. At the very least, his name would shake the entire central city regions of Lifire City. Such a formation grandmaster was already worthy of many major powers wanting to recruit him.
This Grandmaster Di truly had strength and was very confident in himself. Hence, did he choose the Yan Clan as the place where he became famous?
Naturally, there was also a possibility that the disrespectful words spoken by the experts of the Yan Clan back then became the fuse.
In any case, with Yan Mu's death, Grandmaster Di's fame could no longer be concealed.
Although he lost the third battle, he had already won two battles and could be considered to have defeated the entire Yan Clan head-on. Also, he relied on his own strength to issue three challenges: breaking formations, martial formations, and battle formations. From this, one could see that his attainments in formations were above the vast majority of the older generations in the Yan Clan. What was laughable was that the Yan Clan still wanted to gather people to participate in their gathering and only the most outstanding ones would be able to become guest elders. How ironic, it was no wonder Di Tian was angered.
Many experts of the Yan Clan stepped out, wanting to surround Di Tian and kill him.
Di Tian's eyes flashed, his black eyes were as cold as ever. His hair was as black as ink and the mask on his face caused people to feel the coldness radiating from him.
It was true that he came here for the sake of fame. For a formation grandmaster, only by becoming famous would he be able to receive more attention. No matter where he went, he would be able to receive better treatment and become an esteemed guest of the peak powers of Lifire City.
The Yan Clan, an aristocrat clan that specialized in formations, just happened to bump into him!
