"That fellow must be Zhang Xuan in disguise!"
At this moment, the Goldenleaf King finally realized what was going on. His face turned livid, and he felt so furious that he could explode on the spot.
Just as they were thinking about how they could capture that fellow, who could have thought that the other party would disguise himself as a tribesman and secretly release a formation plate right in front of them?
If they had been prepared in advance, there was a good chance that they would have destroyed the formation with brute force. However, since they had activated the formation right in front of them, it would be much more troublesome for them to destroy it.
"Humph! A grade-7 formation plate might be formidable, but I specialize in formations. I don't believe that I won't be able to break it! "
The Goldenleaf King roared furiously, but he knew that this wasn't the time for him to lose his temper. Thus, he turned to look at Zhang Xuan intently.
Of all the Kings present, he was the one who had studied formations the most, and that was also the reason why he was able to pass through the seal. Even if the other party had used a Seven Star pinnacle formation to trap him, it would have taken him quite some time to break through the seal. On the other hand, a formation plate that had yet to reach its pinnacle … it would be nigh impossible for the other party to trap him!
Zhang Xuan leaped into the air, but even after flying for a few breaths, he still found that the area before him was still hazy. Thus, he quickly came to a halt and circled the area around him.
"This formation is quite powerful. It's able to turn the surroundings upside down, making it impossible for one to discern the direction of one's surroundings!"
Zhang Xuan thought grimly.
After circling the area, he realized that the formation wasn't as simple as it seemed.
He was confident that he could decipher it, but it would be difficult for him to do so within a short period of time.
Ah!
Flicking his wrist, Zhang Xuan took out a geomantic compass. Just as he was about to examine the location of the Life Gate in the formation, he suddenly heard a scream of agony from the depths of the formation. Following which, he heard the sound of something crashing into the ground.
"That fellow is attacking our tribesmen?"
Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes in astonishment.
Beguilement Formations didn't possess the ability to kill, so it was fine even if one was trapped. This was especially so for a formation plate, as it was extremely taxing on one's zhenqi. Even if it was able to exert great might for a short period of time, it would still be able to escape unscathed. On the other hand, those who activated the formation plate would end up losing their fighting prowess.
Zhang Xuan had thought that he had plenty of time, but who could have thought that the other party would be able to kill his tribesmen while activating the formation plate?
That was truly courting death!
Zhang Xuan swiftly made his way over to the source of the scream, and as he expected, he saw one of his tribesmen being pummeled to death with a single punch. His storage ring had been snatched away as well.
"Ahhh!"
Just as he was about to rage, he heard another scream of agony. Another clansman had been killed.
After receiving the order, the 200 or so people split up and went out to search. Those who were building houses here were those who had gone out to search, and there were about 50 or so of them who hadn't been able to find anything.
Looking at this guy's appearance, he wanted to catch all of them in one fell swoop!
To allow these clansmen to pass through the seal, the clan had to pay an unimaginable price.
Even the death of one of them would be a great loss, yet he actually wanted to kill all of them? That was simply a dream!
Flicking his wrist, Zhang Xuan took out a jade token.
The unique sensory jade token of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe!
As long as he had this thing, he would be able to easily sense the people closest to him and help him.
Whoosh!
As the jade token flew out of his hand, Zhang Xuan hurriedly rushed over to take a look, and his eyebrows shot up.
He saw a corpse lying on the ground. It was obvious that this clansman had been killed.
Furthermore, his opponent's attack speed was only one step faster than his.
Thus, the Goldenleaf King continued his search. After seven to eight consecutive searches, the Goldenleaf King's face twitched in frenzy.
Every single time, his clansmen would be perfectly fine. Yet, as soon as they arrived, they would be killed. It was as if the other party knew his whereabouts and movements beforehand.
"Not only is that fellow capable of activating the formation plate, his comprehension of formations must have reached a level on par with a Seven Star formation master as well …"
With a livid expression, the Goldenleaf King finally realized how fearsome his opponent was.
If he had only activated the formation plate without knowing the structure of the formation, the most he would have been able to do was to hallucinate his opponent. On the other hand, the other party was able to move freely within the formation without the slightest restriction. On top of that, he was able to predict his movements ahead of time. This meant that the other party's comprehension of formations was on par with his!
Or perhaps … even stronger!
"Damn it, you better pray that I don't catch you. Once I do, I'll make sure to kill you …"
Gritting his teeth furiously, the Goldenleaf King was in the midst of roaring furiously when he suddenly felt a powerful killing intent surging into the air. Following which, he felt the aura of a battle.
"It's the Greenleaf King!"
The Goldenleaf King's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly rushed over.
He had fought with that fellow named Zhang Xuan back when he was impersonating him, and his strength was on par with his. If the Greenleaf King were to face him, he would surely be able to hold the other party back. As long as the two of them made a move together, it wouldn't be too difficult for them to kill the other party.
Hula!
In the blink of an eye, the Goldenleaf King arrived at the location where the sound had come from, and as expected, he saw the Greenleaf King fighting with another fellow.
That fellow was the Otherworldly Demon who had just reported the news to them and released the formation.
The two of them were clashing, and their might was overwhelming.
"Greenleaf King, I'll help you!"
With a roar, the Goldenleaf King rushed over. However, upon seeing the Goldenleaf King charging over, the fellow named Zhang Xuan immediately turned around and fled, vanishing into the Beguilement Formation in the blink of an eye.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Just as the Goldenleaf King was about to rush over, the Greenleaf King's voice suddenly sounded. "Don't rush over. He was the one who released the formation, so he's the one controlling it. He can escape as he pleases.
"That's right!"
The Goldenleaf King swiftly came to a realization. Halting his footsteps, he turned around and saw the Greenleaf King clutching his chest. There was a massive fist imprint two cun deep in his chest, nearly crushing his heart. He had sustained severe injuries.
"You … How did you sustain such severe injuries?"
The Goldenleaf King was astonished.
He was on par with the Greenleaf King, and the Greenleaf King was on par with him as well. Even if the Greenleaf King was caught off guard, there was no way the other party could have inflicted such severe injuries!
From the looks of it, if the Greenleaf King hadn't dodged in time, he would have died on the spot.
"Cough cough! That fellow … I was caught off guard when he disguised himself as you … "
As he spoke, the Greenleaf King spurted a mouthful of blood, and his face paled.
"He disguised himself as me?"
The Goldenleaf King clenched his fists tightly.
He had seen the other party disguising himself as him with his own eyes, and there were no flaws in the other party's disguise at all. In fact, the other party was even able to point out his flaws.
"Un. That fellow is able to alter his appearance at will, and his weapon is even able to imitate the aura of one's soul … You have to be careful too!"
The Greenleaf King instructed.
"Un."
The Goldenleaf King nodded.
It was impossible to see anything clearly within the Beguilement Formation, and the other party was able to disguise himself as well.
It could be said that as long as one saw a cultivator, one could very well be an enemy.
It would be difficult for one to successfully launch a sneak attack on a cultivator of the same cultivation realm. However, if the other party disguised himself as a friend and launched a sneak attack, even the Goldenleaf King wouldn't be able to avoid it.
"How about this? I'll make some adjustments here while you go and save the others. In order to prevent that fellow from disguising himself as me from launching a sneak attack on you, we can use a code when we meet. If we get it right, we'll be on the same side. If we get it wrong … we'll be in disguise!"
After a moment of hesitation, the Greenleaf King sent a telepathic message over.
"That's a good idea!"
The Goldenleaf King's eyes lit up.
In order to save his tribesmen, they couldn't possibly stay together all the time. If they were to split up, that fellow could very well launch a sneak attack on them.
"Un. I'll leave it to you to decide what to say. Once we meet, you'll say the first line, and I'll answer the second line. If we don't get it right, we'll sneak over and make a move!"
The Greenleaf King sent a telepathic message over.
"Alright!"
The Goldenleaf King nodded. "How about this? I'll say 'Slay master teachers', and you'll say 'Proclaim the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe'. If we don't get it right, we'll make a move!"
"Alright!"
The Greenleaf King nodded.
"It's settled then …"
The Goldenleaf King heaved a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to speak, another scream of agony sounded. You must be careful! "
"Don't worry, it won't be that easy for the other party to kill me again after that!"
The eyebrows of the Greenleaf King shot up in confidence.
"Un." The Goldenleaf King nodded. Stomping his foot on the ground, he rushed over.
He arrived at the location where the scream had sounded, and just like before, that tribesman had been slain as cruelly as before.
"This won't do. At this rate, we'll be in a passive position. We have to decipher the formation first …"
Seeing that the formation still showed no signs of crumbling even after such a long time had passed, the Goldenleaf King couldn't help but frown in displeasure. "Hmm?
As long as they didn't decipher the formation, they would be in a passive position. It was only a matter of time before they were defeated one by one.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Just as the Goldenleaf King was in the midst of studying the Beguilement Formation, he suddenly heard a furious roar. Following which, a figure charged right at him. Raising his gaze, he saw that it was none other than the Greenleaf King.
"Brother Yin, did you see anyone coming over earlier?"
Seeing that the Goldenleaf King was here, the Greenleaf King heaved a sigh of relief and asked anxiously.
"I didn't …" The Goldenleaf King shook his head as he turned to look at the Greenleaf King.
The Greenleaf King was completely unscathed, as if he hadn't been injured at all. However, the Greenleaf King's eyes were gleaming with lightning, as if he was trying to see through him.
"He wants to kill a master teacher!"
Without any hesitation, the Goldenleaf King sent a telepathic message to the Greenleaf King.
"Indeed. He wants to kill a master teacher. I have already confirmed that that fellow is a master teacher, and he even tried to launch a sneak attack on me earlier. It was fortunate that I reacted swiftly and dodged his attack!"
The Greenleaf King harrumphed coldly with a wave of his hand.
"We have to kill that fellow!"
Hearing the Greenleaf King's reply, the Goldenleaf King's eyes gleamed with killing intent. Nodding, he walked forward.
"Indeed!" The Greenleaf King nodded in agreement.
"That fellow isn't weak at all. Only by working together will we be able to defeat him … I happen to have something here. Take a look at it. It might be of some use to you in killing him!"
Harrumphing coldly, the Goldenleaf King flicked his wrist and took out a jade token.
"What's this?"
The Greenleaf King glanced at the jade token in the Goldenleaf King's hand doubtfully.
"This is …"
Seeing that the other party was caught off guard, a savage glint flashed across the Goldenleaf King's eyes. "I want you dead!"
Roaring furiously, he raised his fist and sent a powerful punch toward the Greenleaf King.
Hong long!
Due to the close proximity of the Goldenleaf King and his movement speed, by the time the other party realized what was going on, his fist was already right before his chest.
"Brother Yin, what are you doing?"
The Greenleaf King narrowed his eyes as he hurriedly infused his zhenqi into his body.
"What am I doing? How dare a master teacher like you try to fool me? Die! "
Hong long!
The powerful punch landed squarely on the Greenleaf King's body.
The Greenleaf King felt a resounding explosion in his chest before he was sent flying.
Pu!
Fresh blood spurted from his mouth.
