While Zhang Chao did not recognise Qi Wei, seeing the reactions of Kang Maosheng and Kang Jinyuan, he knew that he was an expert of the Grand Xuan Dynasty.
When Qi Wei had set up the formation, Zhang Chao instantly recalled that this was that formation grandmaster who had encircled Yan Zhaoge and the Radiant Light Sect martial practitioners in the Heavenly Inheritance Region and the Suffering River Region back then.
This made Zhang Chao feel much more at ease.
But before he could calm his heart down, he saw the fierce lightning strike towards him!
Only now did he suddenly recall that Yan Zhaoge was similarly extremely proficient in formations.
According to Tang Yonghao and Meng Wan, this was a person who had dominated the Eight Extremities World with his proficiency in formations when he had been a Martial Grandmaster and a Martial Grandmaster.
Now that Yan Zhaoge had long since Transcended Mortality and entered Sainthood, what level of attainments would he have attained in controlling and breaking formations?
Zhang Chao no longer had the time to continue thinking.
He, who was already heavily injured with a broken arm, faced Qi Wei's Green Firmament Demon Subduing Array, he had a slim chance of survival!
Zhang Chao did his best to dodge to the side, but half of his body was still engulfed by the heavenly lightning.
Amidst the violent crackling of electric currents, Zhang Chao groaned miserably. His flesh was badly mangled and charred!
Yan Zhaoge laughed loudly, "Zhang Chao, your Tortoise Divine Art is pretty good, finally giving you the chance to reign supreme over all those experts of the same generation as you who have survived till the very end. Do you feel that you have survived till the very end, thus laughing till the very end?"
The Glorious Rainbow Sword in his hand carried a brilliant sword-light as it hacked straight towards Zhang Chao, "A pity that my Broad Creed Mountain will take you in at the end of the day. While Ancestor Hantian will let you off, I will not!"
Qi Wei's face was livid. Having already heard from Kang Maosheng about Zhang Chao's defection, he immediately wielded the formation to block Yan Zhaoge.
"I'll protect this person. I won't tolerate your impudence!"
Yan Zhaoge's sword did not cease in its momentum as he simultaneously locked down the changes in Qi Wei's grand formation with the Extreme Yang Seal before striking out with the Yin Yang Finger once more.
The power of the formation that was originally obstructing him immediately struck towards the brothers Kang Maosheng and Kang Jinyuan.
Qi Wei had no choice but to protect the Kang brothers first.
Yan Zhaoge let out a long laugh, "Just now, who did you say you were going to protect?"
Where the sword light passed, Zhang Chao, who was already heavily injured and on the verge of death, was instantly beheaded!
A large head flew into the sky, its eyes wide open.
The number one expert of the Sacred Sun Clan who had once commanded the wind and summoned the rain in the Eight Extremities World, the Purple Sun Martial Saint Zhang Chao, had died with remaining grievances!
Not only did he die with a grievance, but Qi Wei's eyes were practically spitting fire.
He, a lofty expert of the fifth level of the Martial Saint realm, the mid Seeing Divinity stage, had actually been unable to protect a single person!
What was even harder for him to accept was that the person who had killed him right before his eyes was shockingly a mid Merging Avatar Martial Saint.
At this moment, Qi Wei, who had always been gloomy, could only feel his anger rising to the top of his head, almost uncontrollable.
However, Yan Zhaoge's strength left him even more shocked.
He had once clashed with Yan Zhaoge at the first level of the Martial Saint realm. While he had felt shocked then, it had not been as shocking as it was now.
As compared to others, as compared to Qi Wei himself, as compared to the various experts he knew such as Kang Ping, He Dongcheng, Gu Zhang, King Xuanmu and the others, Yan Zhaoge was just so different.
Every time he took a step forward, his strength seemed to increase more than other people's breakthroughs.
More than he had expected.
Qi Wei just felt that under normal circumstances, while Yan Zhaoge's strength should have increased from the first to the second level of the Martial Saint realm, it should not have been this massive.
The experiences of others would definitely not be applicable on this youth before him.
Kang Maosheng and Kang Jinyuan looked at Yan Zhaoge with complex expressions on their faces, finding it hard to understand.
Tang Yonghao and Meng Wan were both momentarily dazed.
While they did not approve of Zhang Chao's actions, he was still the most legendary figure in the history of the Sacred Sun Clan at the end of the day.
To every disciple of the Sacred Sun Clan, he was a legendary existence, an existence even more supreme than the lofty Huang Guanglie who had ruled over everything that year.
Even though Meng Wan had already surpassed him with the Extreme Yin Crown, this impression was still not so easily removed.
Tang Yonghao and Meng Wan had not personally witnessed the deaths of Huang Guanglie and Huang Xu.
Now, however, personally witnessing Zhang Chao's death was naturally a huge blow to them.
"Senior apprentice-uncle Qi, someone came here just now who cultivates in a technique that is very similar to the Phoenix True Form Scripture of the Southern Exalt's lineage. This Yan Zhaoge is on bad terms with him," Kang Maosheng suddenly realised, seemingly recalling something as he quickly said, "That person claims to be surnamed Zhuang."
Qi Wei was taken aback, "Cultivates in the Phoenix True Form Scripture, surnamed Zhuang?"
A cold light shone within his eyes as he chuckled coldly, "There's actually such a thing? The silhouette of the fiery phoenix that entered the depths of the sea earlier indeed cultivates in the Phoenix True Form Scripture, just that I had not thought that he would actually be surnamed Zhuang. "
Hearing his words, Yan Zhaoge raised his brows slightly.
Tang Yonghao was jolted awake as well, regaining his wits.
Qi Wei smiled coldly as he looked at Yan Zhaoge, "You who have come from the lower worlds are indeed unclear on many things. I think that you still do not know that the Southern Exalt is surnamed Zhuang."
Hearing his words, Yan Zhaoge's expression did not change as he nodded slightly, "No wonder he already possesses a high-grade Sacred Artifact even before attaining the Immortal Bridge stage."
Looking at Qi Wei, he smiled relaxedly, "Then, of the Grand Xuan Dynasty's initial King Xuanwen, Shen Lingzi and Daoist Shi, which major figure is standing behind them? Can you tell me? "
Looking fixedly at Yan Zhaoge, Qi Wei could tell that Yan Zhaoge was not being tough on the outside but weak on the inside as he was indeed composed and composed.
"Even I have to say that I admire you," Qi Wei said slowly, "I wonder if you are fearless because you are ignorant or if you truly possess courage."
"Still, whatever it is, it is no longer important. Instead of staying obediently under Lin Hanhua's protection, you came running out to die. Now that you have walked right into my trap, I will grant you your wish!"
With that, Qi Wei formed a seal with each hand, simultaneously bringing them before his chest before pushing them forward in unison.
Thirteen earthen yellow flags fluttered in the wind, earthen yellow smoke surging into the air.
Dark clouds filled the sky densely with the light of thunder shooting everywhere.
The two great formations attacked from above and below, trapping Yan Zhaoge between them!
Yan Zhaoge's expression was composed as he wielded the Extreme Yang Seal.
Now, however, his heart suddenly jolted.
At the centre of the blood pool in the depths of the underground palace, the Northern Ocean Clone who was currently refining the Heaven Swallowing Sword Box and the Earth Devouring Burner abruptly opened his eyes.
The blood pool before him began heaving intensely, its originally stable rhythm being disrupted as it grew more and more hurried.
It was like his heartbeat had suddenly sped up.
The sacrificial refinement of the sword within the Heaven Swallowing Sword Box had already reached the final juncture. Affected by this, it instantly became unstable.
The entire underground palace was shaking intensely.
Yan Zhaoge realised, "The Immortal Bridge Martial Saints like Kang Ping and Gu Hong have encountered each other and are currently clashing within the underground palace. The disturbance caused by this is too great!"
The streams of light within the blood pool had originally intended to converge with the Heaven Swallowing Sword Box, unceasingly extracting spiritual qi for it.
Now, however, the sword box suddenly shook intensely.
The streams of light entangled upon it abruptly began circulating in reverse!
A massive suction force emanated from the blood pool, wanting to forcibly extract a certain existence from within the sword box! (To be continued.)
