Despite his rage, Zhang Xuan still chose not to go. With a frown, he asked doubtfully, "Isn't the little princess engaged to the young prodigy of the Zhang clan? As an offspring of the Zhang clan, how could Zhang Chun dare to vie with the clan head? "
"Of course he wouldn't dare to vie with the clan head, but … hasn't the young prodigy been hiding all this while? I heard a piece of news! "
Yuan Xiao scanned the surroundings cautiously, and only after confirming that there was no one hiding in the corner did he heave a sigh of relief. Following which, he sent a telepathic message to Zhang Xuan, "If the young prodigy doesn't show up by the fourth month of next year, the Zhang clan won't go back on their word. Instead, they'll choose a pure-blooded descendant of the same age to complete the marriage … and Zhang Chun happens to be one of them. That's how it goes for clan marriages … "
"There's actually such a thing?"
Zhang Xuan's face reddened in fury.
Even though he was displeased with the marriage between the young prodigy and Ruoxin, it was still acceptable for him to accept the fact that both of them were top-notch geniuses and possessed the purest bloodlines.
Yet, not only did the young prodigy not show any respect for the clan head, he even dared to look for someone else to marry …
This was intolerable!
Lozosy wasn't a commodity! She wasn't worthy of any random person!
To think that the Zhang Clan was the number one clan on the Master Teacher Continent!
"If I have a chance, I'll pay the Zhang clan a visit. If I don't turn their world upside down, my surname won't be Zhang!"
Zhang Xuan roared furiously.
"This is just a rumor that I've heard, so there's no guarantee that it's true …"
"The little princess of the Luo Clan is an unparalleled beauty, and anyone who has seen her before would be infatuated with her. I've met Zhang Chun once before, so it's only natural for him to be fond of her … You should know that Luo Xuanqing is a man who dotes on his younger sister, so it's a good thing that he isn't killed for daring to covet his younger sister. Thus, once the battle between the two of them begins, no one will be able to stop them … "
Recalling the few times that he had seen the two of them fighting, Yuan Xiao couldn't help but cower in fear.
As invincible as his defense was, there was no way that Luo Xuanqing would be able to withstand it if he were to utilize his bloodline power!
In the Sanctum of Sages, the reason why this human-shaped tyrannosaurus rex was able to cause so many headaches for the disciplinary elders was not just due to its destructive prowess. More importantly, it possessed unparalleled fighting prowess.
"I got it. I'll set up the formation right here. Later on, as long as you lure the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast to where you are standing, I'll activate the formation so that it won't be able to escape anytime soon!"
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Zhang Xuan waved his hand.
Who dared to covet his girlfriend? Later on, he would definitely go and take a look. Just what kind of deity was this? If he was truly angered, he would first poison him to death!
He had just collected the venom of the Crimsontail Wasp King, and it was capable of killing even Saint 8-dan experts. Considering that the other party was roughly on par with Luo Xuanqing, it was unlikely that he would be able to withstand it.
"Alright!"
Yuan Xiao nodded with a solemn look in his eyes. He lowered his body and rolled toward the cave like a ball.
He walked to the entrance of the cave and got stuck on it. After struggling for a long time, he finally squeezed his way in.
Seeing that Yuan Xiao had entered the cave, Zhang Xuan took a deep breath and waved his hand. Several hundred formation flags floated around him.
With his current strength, he was only able to set up grade-8 primary formations. Even a grade-8 intermediate formation would be a little lacking.
However, if he wanted to trap a Saint 8-dan beast, he would need to reach grade-8 intermediate pinnacle or even advanced stage.
"I'm still a little too weak …"
In terms of his comprehension of formations, he was able to set up grade-8 pinnacle or even grade-9 primary formations without a problem. However, if his cultivation was still lacking, no matter how deep his comprehension of formations was, it would be futile.
In order to set up a grade-9 formation, he would have to have a deep understanding of the Phantasmal Space realm. Otherwise, no matter how much zhenqi one had, it would be useless.
"It's indeed impossible for me to set up a formation that can trap the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast for an entire hour … However, I should be able to do it with the Owlet Confinement Formation!"
In the blink of an eye, a formation appeared in his mind.
Even though the Owlet Confinement Formation was only an 8-star low-tier formation, it was as if one had stepped into the darkness of the night. It was capable of sealing one's five senses and six senses, such that one would be unable to extend one's Spiritual Perception into it. As long as one fell into it, it would be as if one had fallen into eternal darkness, unable to find anything at all.
Legend had it that the elder who designed this formation had captured 108 Owlet Saint Beasts that were adept at flying in the night, and after the formation was completed, not a single one of them managed to escape. Thus, it was named the Owlet Confinement Formation.
It would not be easy for humans to trap them with the help of a compass, but it was extremely effective against saint beasts. While he might not be able to guarantee that he would be able to trap them for an hour, it should not be too difficult for him to do so.
"I'll choose this one then!"
Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment, and eventually, he came to a conclusion that this was the most suitable formation he could set up at the moment. Thus, he flicked his finger.
Sou sou sou sou!
In the blink of an eye, the formation flags were shot out in all directions. Under the immense impact, they burrowed into the crevices of the earth and rocks, disappearing without a trace.
Regardless of whether the formation flags were placed on the surface or underground, as long as they were placed at the center of the flow of spiritual energy, they would be able to achieve the same result.
After all of this was done, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief as he waited patiently for Yuan Xiao to come out.
After standing on the spot for ten minutes, Zhang Xuan frowned, but Yuan Xiao still hadn't come out yet.
Why did he take so long to pull the aggro of the monsters?
"I should head over to take a look!"
Zhang Xuan began making his way toward the cavern. However, before he could reach the cavern, he suddenly felt a sharp aura gushing toward him. Narrowing his eyes, he swiftly executed the Unbounded Voyager and dashed forward.
Peng!
Even so, he was still a step too slow. A powerful force swept toward him from behind, as if a massive wave crashing onto him.
Pu!
With a sweet taste in his throat, Zhang Xuan was sent flying. He crashed heavily into the cliff wall beside the cavern, creating a huge depression.
With a pale face, Zhang Xuan's body stiffened from the impact. He felt as if his muscles had been torn apart in many places, and his bones were on the verge of shattering. Excruciating pain shot up from his very soul.
If not for the massive improvement in his Heaven's Path Golden Body, which was comparable to half a Saint high-tier artifact, he would have died on the spot.
"Who is it?"
With a deep roar, Zhang Xuan drove his Heaven's Path zhenqi to recover from his injuries. At the same time, he pressed his palm against the wall and turned around to see who the assailant was. However, before he could turn around, he suddenly felt goosebumps rising all over his body. Another oppressive force was right before him.
The other party's relentless assault had left him no chance to turn around at all.
"Damn it!"
Knowing that he would be killed if he were to turn around, Zhang Xuan activated his Dominion, which he had comprehended through the Heavenly Art of Dimension Unravel. Having reached Leaving Aperture realm pinnacle, his Dominion was no longer just a meter wide. Instead, it was comparable to a Grand Dominion realm primary stage cultivator, reaching a radius of five meters.
On top of that, his Dominion was far stronger than that of a Grand Dominion realm primary stage cultivator.
With the appearance of his Dominion, the might of the other party's attack weakened significantly. Before Zhang Xuan could even heave a sigh of relief, he suddenly realized that the other party was like an egg being crushed by a massive boulder. Kacha! Kacha! Amidst the crisp sound, cracks began appearing on the wall.
The cracks grew larger and larger, and with a resounding 'boom!', the wall exploded.
Pu!
Yet another mouthful of blood spewed from Zhang Xuan's mouth as he was flattened against the wall, seemingly on the verge of being reduced to a meat patty.
"Too powerful! At the very least, his cultivation is at Saint 7-dan pinnacle!"
Zhang Xuan's heart turned cold. He had not been able to react to two consecutive blows at all. In fact, he did not even manage to see who his opponent was. A feeling of helplessness welled up in his heart.
It was a little similar to how he had met Luo Chengxin back then.
He had thought that he was not weak at all, but before the other party, his strength was completely useless.
"Who in the world is it?" Veins popped up on Zhang Xuan's forehead. He knew that he couldn't afford to waste any more time. Thus, he gritted his teeth and roared, "Puppets, stop him!"
Hula!
The hundred or so puppets he had placed in his storage ring immediately flew out.
They were the puppets that he had subdued back when he was taming Vicious' head in the Marshlands of the Northern Meadows.
While most of them were only at Primordial Spirit realm, their combined might was still frighteningly great!
Boom!
As soon as the puppets appeared, they swiftly formed a formation and charged toward the fellow who was attacking him from behind.
After becoming an 8-star formation master, Zhang Xuan had made some adjustments to the puppets' collaborative offensive formation. With the puppets working together, the surrounding air was immediately compressed by the formation, causing sonic booms to echo in the air. In the blink of an eye, an incomparably powerful might burst forth from the puppets.
These puppets had been able to defeat the Saint 6-dan primary stage Pavilion Master Yue with ease using the formations of the Combat Master Hall. Now that they had grown stronger, they could even put up a fight against a Saint 7-dan expert!
Sou sou sou sou!
The combined might of the puppets surged forth like an ocean. However, before the puppets could unleash their full might, they suddenly felt another attack from behind them. It was as if a boulder was crashing down from a tall mountain. No matter how they tried to resist, they were unable to change the outcome.
Peng peng peng peng!
A series of explosions sounded, and the formation collapsed. Following which, the puppets were sent flying, and they were embedded into the walls of the cavern, losing their fighting prowess.
Sou!
In the instant that the puppets were sent flying, there was a slight buzz in the air. At some point in time, a sword had materialized in the air, morphing into a faint blue ray of sword qi that pierced backward.
This sword qi had clearly been accumulating power for a very long time. As soon as it appeared, a massive vortex formed in the air, and in the blink of an eye, it appeared right behind Zhang Xuan.
Lingxu Sword!
Knowing that the puppets would not be able to withstand it, he had hidden this Saint high-tier sword within the puppets. It could be considered as his true killing move!
Even though he hadn't had the time to execute the Sea Severing Sword, the Lingxu Sword was still on par with a Saint 7-dan expert in the first place. Furthermore, it was a sneak attack, so it was able to display extraordinary might.
Weng!
Just as Zhang Xuan was thinking that the puppet who had launched a sneak attack from behind would surely be flustered by the Lingxu Sword, a nonchalant voice suddenly sounded.
Following which, the structure of the surrounding space seemed to have changed. In an instant, the Lingxu Sword seemed to have fallen into a folded space, and its connection with Zhang Xuan's soul disappeared.
"Saint 8-dan …"
Zhang Xuan's body stiffened as goosebumps rose all over his body.
