It was said that in order to prevent the destruction of the clan, the crown princess consort had requested a grade-3 pinnacle formation from the Xuanyuan Kingdom Formation Master Guild to guard the Lin Clan's residence, ensuring that no one would dare to invade the clan.
It was precisely because of this news that Mo Tianxue didn't dare to make a move even after the guardian beast had reached Zhizun realm.
Previously, he was still thinking that no one would be able to activate this formation. Who could have thought that not only would Lin Ruotian activate it instantaneously, he would even trap all of them within it.
This was a grade-3 pinnacle Slaughter Formation!
Different from a Confinement Formation, one would be assaulted by all kinds of bizarre energies upon falling into it. Even a Zhizun realm expert might die within!
"Haha, all of you, die …"
Countless sharp blades seemed to have gathered in the air after the formation was activated, and they would descend from the sky at any moment to kill everyone. Lin Ruotian's eyes reddened in excitement, and he roared.
This formation was left behind by Lin Long back then, and it could only be used once. Unless the Lin Clan was on the brink of destruction, it could only be used once.
Liu Cheng had gone too far, and Hall Master Liao was definitely not a match for them. Without any hesitation, he activated it.
Didn't you want to kill me?
Fine, I'll kill all of you here!
A grade-3 pinnacle formation was something that could trap and even kill a Zhizun realm pinnacle expert. So what if you were formidable?
You would still die!
"It's over... To think that we would die here!"
"To think that the Lin Clan would have such a trump card. It's no wonder the royal family didn't dare to make a move..."
"It's worth it to die under such a formidable formation..."
...
Despair appeared on the faces of those trapped in the formation.
Formation master was one of the top occupations in the Upper Nine Paths. Their formations wielded boundless fighting prowess.
Trapped, there was no way they could escape!
"Pavilion Master Jiang, given your understanding of formations, can you bring us out?"
No one knew who shouted.
Everyone immediately turned their gazes over, as though they had seen their savior.
As a 2-star master teacher and a 2-star formation master, Jiang Shu might have a way out.
"I... There's nothing I can do either. This formation has already surpassed the limits of my understanding!"
Shaking his head, Jiang Shu smiled bitterly.
He was only a 2-star master teacher and a 2-star formation master. Even he was helpless before a formation of this level.
"We're really doomed then..."
Hearing that even he couldn't do anything, everyone's despair deepened.
"Haha, a grade-3 pinnacle formation. Unless one is a 3-star formation master, no one will be able to break it..."
Taking in the despair and panic, Lin Ruotian roared frenziedly with a savage face.
However … before he could finish his roar, an untimely voice rang out.
"Other than a 3-star formation master, no one will be able to break it? I don't think so! "
His voice was indifferent.
Hurriedly turning over, the one who spoke was Guild Leader Liu.
At this moment, the young man looked over helplessly. He suddenly took a step forward and kicked out.
Buzz!
The air immediately froze, and the formation that could kill them at any moment stopped in midair.
The spell formation stopped!
As if he had done something insignificant, Zhang Xuan clapped his hands and said, "Isn't it broken?"
"You …"
The smiling Lin Ruotian widened his eyes in shock. His body swayed and he nearly breathed his last.
That was a grade-3 pinnacle formation! Even a 4-star formation master would find it hard to stop it easily... and yet, with a single kick...
F * ck!
Is there still justice in this world?
Previously, Great Elder Lin Tao had said that President Lin could stop the spell formation. He had thought that it was a coincidence that he was familiar with the spell formation that trapped the Gold-tailed Lion, but this spell formation …
Even he only knew a little about it. The reason why he was able to activate it was due to him controlling the core of the formation. If he were to set it up, he wouldn't have been able to do so.
A physician and an outsider stopped it with a single kick...
Lin Ruotian's body twitched, and his hair nearly fell off.
"This … this …"
"The formation stopped?"
"It was stopped with a single kick?"
Pavilion Master Jiang also felt his head cramping.
A grade-3 pinnacle formation, an existence that even a Zhizun realm expert would have their skin peeled off, stopped with a single kick...
Painting, pill forging, beast taming, master teacher, physician... and now, a formation!
Brother, just tell me what you don't know!
"Stopping it with a single kick?"
Mo Tianxue and Mo Yu stared at one another, and their bodies trembled.
Was this really a formation capable of killing a Zhizun realm expert?
Why did it seem like child's play to the other party?
How in the world did he do it?
"Run!"
While everyone was dumbfounded, Lin Ruotian finally recovered from his shock. Gritting his teeth, he turned around and dashed back into the residence.
At this moment, no matter how foolish he was, he knew that it would be a blessing if he didn't get killed, putting aside killing the other party!
He had to inform the princess consort of this matter as soon as possible and have her send someone over. Otherwise, the destruction of the Lin Clan was inevitable!
Hu!
As soon as he entered the residence, he immediately activated the formation. Mist rose once more, shrouding the entire Lin Clan within.
As the headquarters of the Lin Clan, it was impossible for them to only set up a single formation. However, since their strongest formation had been destroyed by the other party, the only thing they could do was delay their entry.
But of course, this little bit of time was more than sufficient!
"Trying to escape without apologizing?"
Seeing the other party turn around and leave, Zhang Xuan shook his head. "I've already said that if you don't apologize, I'll beat you until you do... Lu Chong, get in!"
Returning the sword to Zhao Ya, Zhang Xuan chuckled lightly before walking forward. Standing in the middle of the residence, he stepped forward once more.
Weng!
The formation in the residence stopped once more.
The duo entered the residence.
"Wait a moment..."
Seeing them leave, the surrounding crowd stared at them with bizarre gazes. How could Hall Master Liao Xun and the Great Herb King dare to stay any longer?
...
As the few of them disappeared, the crowd outside fell silent.
"Looks like... the Lin Clan is finished!"
Looking at the convulsing elders lying on the ground, as well as the fleeing Lin Ruotian, everyone couldn't help but sigh in awe.
When they heard the pleas of their juniors, they thought that it was inappropriate for them to argue with the Lin Clan. Only now did they realize... how laughable their thoughts were.
Trampling over the Lin Clan and crushing the entire capital!
This was something they didn't even dare to dream of.
What kind of fearsome existence was that fellow to be so powerful?
"Teacher..."
In contrast to the astonishment of the crowd, the eyes of Mu Xueqing and the others glowed, and they clenched their fists in excitement.
At the same time, a voice reverberated in their minds — — He is... my teacher!
My teacher destroyed the formation with a single step and even defeated the Lin Clan of the Hegemonic City!
My teacher wields a powerful sword qi that surpasses his cultivation realm, rendering a Half-Zhizun helpless...
How fortunate and proud I am to have such a teacher!
Just as they were feeling agitated, their eyes suddenly fell on a few other people.
They were Zhao Ya, Zheng Yang, and the others.
"Zhao Ya, I know that Zhang Shi is formidable as well, but is there anyone like my Liu laoshi who wields a powerful sword qi, rendering a Half-Zhizun helpless with a single strike, and rendering a grade-3 pinnacle formation ineffective with a single step?"
Placing her hands behind her back, Mu Xueqing's eyes glowed in excitement.
Zhang Shi might be formidable, but he had only reached Zongshi realm a few days ago. On the other hand, our Liu laoshi is not only a Zongshi realm pinnacle expert, he is also the expert who defeated Lin Ruotian!
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the number one expert in the kingdom.
How can your Zhang Shi stand a chance against such a person?
"Liu laoshi... is indeed formidable!" Zhao Ya said calmly.
"Zhao Ya, why are you..."
Seeing Mu Xueqing's gleeful expression, Zheng Yang and the others gritted their teeth furiously. They thought that Zhao Ya would refute their words, but never in their dreams did they expect her to admit to it. Their faces flushed in anxiety.
"It's fine. Even though Liu laoshi isn't weak, our Zhang Shi... isn't inferior to him either!"
Knowing that Liu laoshi and Zhang Shi were the same person, there was no need for them to argue. Since their teacher had intentionally concealed his identity, it wouldn't be good for them to expose him.
Harrumphing softly, Zhao Ya suddenly turned around.
Boom!
The aura of a Zongshi realm intermediate stage burst forth from her body like a tidal wave.
"Zongshi realm intermediate stage?"
"Wasn't she still at Pixue realm a few days ago? How did she jump two realms in a single go? "
"Is this the effect of Zhang Shi's teachings?"
...
Upon seeing the aura emanating from Zhao Ya, a commotion broke out among the crowd.
Most of them knew that Zhao Ya was only at Pixue realm two days ago, but in just two days, she had already reached Zongshi realm intermediate stage...
Wasn't her cultivation speed way too fast?
"You..."
Mu Xueqing's eyes narrowed.
Initially, she felt indignant for losing to the other party in the second duel. She thought that since she had reached Tongxuan realm, she would be able to defeat the other party easily. Never in her wildest dreams did she expect that the other party would improve as well. Furthermore... by a greater margin!
She had even broken through Tongxuan realm to reach Zongshi realm intermediate stage!
This... How were they supposed to fight against her?
Could it be that Zhang Shi's teachings were so formidable that she was able to achieve so many breakthroughs in just two days?
"It's nothing much. That Lu Chong was only at Dingli realm primary stage five days ago, but he has already reached Zongshi realm intermediate stage!"
Meng Tao harrumphed.
"He advanced from Dingli realm primary stage to Zongshi realm intermediate stage in just five days?"
Before the crowd could recover from their shock, they were stunned once more upon hearing the news.
Liu laoshi and Zhang Shi, aren't you two way too monstrous!
Just by raising a small realm under the guidance of another, they were already overwhelmed with excitement. Yet, you two managed to advance several realms in a single go...
"Looks like Liu laoshi is as talented as Zhang Shi!"
"Indeed, the two of them are equally matched. They are both top-notch geniuses!"
"Personally, I think that Liu laoshi is more formidable. To be able to raise a Dingli realm primary stage cultivator to Zongshi realm pinnacle in just five days, it is clearly more difficult than raising a Pixue realm cultivator to Zongshi realm in just two days!"
"More importantly, he is also stronger than Zhang Shi. Even though Zhang Shi is talented in many aspects, his true strength is only at Zongshi realm primary stage!"
"I think that Zhang Shi is even more formidable! In the Mingshi Tang examination, he was able to render many tests useless and break countless records. Just based on this point alone, there are many geniuses who are unable to match up to him. More importantly, he is still young and has a bright future ahead of him... "
Many loyal fans of Zhang Shi and Liu laoshi emerged from the crowd, and they began arguing with one another, unwilling to give in to the other.
...
Fleeing in panic, Zhang Xuan soon arrived at a secret chamber. There was nothing in the room other than a white wall.
With a flick of his finger, a droplet of fresh blood flew out and fell into a groove on the wall.
Weng!
A light flashed, and the wall came to life.
Similar to the Physician Guild's Wall of Dilemma and Apothecary Guild's Wall of Pill Formulae, it was the Communication Wall!
