Chapter 1712: Chapter 1710: Defeating Qin Cheng

Even an ordinary fourth-level formation master would find it difficult to break it, not to mention Qin Cheng, who had only recently reached the third-level formation master. He was simply unable to break the formation.

“Disperse!”

Then, Xiao Yifeng formed a seal with his hands, casting a ray of light into the Wind-Thunder Formation, uttering softly.

Immediately, the Wind-Thunder Formation dissipated automatically, vanishing into thin air, revealing Qin Cheng’s figure. At this moment, he was half-kneeling on the ground, his face pale, blood at the corners of his mouth, evidently suffering severe injuries, looking incredibly pathetic.

Seeing Qin Cheng in such a state, the people present all had flickering eyes, suddenly realizing that Qin Cheng not only failed to break Xiao Yifeng’s formation, but suffered greatly within it.

And Xiao Yifeng? Not only did he suffer no loss, he broke the formation in just three minutes, showing a stark contrast, with Qin Cheng being utterly defeated in this formation duel.

“It seems you are still lacking!”

Xiao Yifeng chuckled softly as he looked at Qin Cheng.

“You… you actually broke the formation?”

Facing Xiao Yifeng standing in front of him, Qin Cheng’s expression changed as he exclaimed in disbelief, finding it hard to accept that Xiao Yifeng had broken his formation.

“Your formation was quite good, managing to trap me for three minutes!”

Xiao Yifeng said lightly.

“Three… three minutes!”

Xiao Yifeng’s words were a direct blow to Qin Cheng, causing him to lose focus, unable to react for a long time, as Xiao Yifeng had taken only three minutes to break his formation.

On the other hand, he hadn’t broken the opponent’s formation and was injured by its attack. How could the disparity between the two be so immense?

“This… this is impossible, this can’t be true!”

Qin Cheng cried out in disbelief, his face full of denial, looking utterly deranged, his psyche nearly collapsing.

“Cheng’er, stabilize, control your mind!”

Zhang Huai’s voice resounded like a thunderous bell, clearing Qin Cheng’s frenzied mind instantly.

Qin Cheng’s eye flashed coldly as he glared at Xiao Yifeng: “Even though you defeated me in formations, I will make you suffer in martial arts, making you kneel before me begging for mercy!”

With those words, Qin Cheng unleashed all his power, attacking Xiao Yifeng, intent on reclaiming his lost dignity and face through martial prowess, confident that while Xiao Yifeng was superior in formations, he was no match in martial arts.

Nine Stars Tyrant Body Art!

Xiao Yifeng directly activated the Nine Stars Tyrant Body Art, unleashing the power of the Seven Great Spirit Pills and the Seven Great Acupoints, fully unleashing his physical body power as well.

Boom!

At that moment, Xiao Yifeng took out the mysterious stone stele he hadn’t used for a long time, a stele obtained from the ancient battlefield in Earth’s Miaojiang, though only half, was incomparably powerful.

It had always been Xiao Yifeng’s strongest weapon. After coming to the Ancient Realm, he’d rarely used it, but now, Xiao Yifeng brought it out again.

All his power surged into the stele, causing it to expand dozens of times, becoming a sky-reaching stele, releasing a terrifying pressure, smashing toward Qin Cheng.

Rumble!!!

The mysterious stele reappeared in the world, exuding terrifying momentum, rushing toward Qin Cheng. As the massive stele fell, his expression changed, quickly wielding his weapon, exerting all his strength to block.

As the two collided, Qin Cheng felt an unimaginable force coming at him, like a vast ocean, a raging torrent, overwhelming him.

Under the stele’s power, Qin Cheng, a sixth-layer Hollow Void Realm expert, seemed insignificant, unable to resist.

With a loud bang, Qin Cheng was sent flying by the stele, thrown tens of meters off the arena, crashing toward the ground.

“Cheng’er!”

Zhang Huai’s expression changed upon seeing the scene, and he shouted, rushing over to catch Qin Cheng.

Spurt!!!

Qin Cheng spat out a mouthful of blood, his face pale, clearly suffering severe injuries, his breath weak, many of his internal meridians broken.

“Huff huff huff~~”

After executing the strike, the stele returned to Xiao Yifeng, who was also half-kneeling, breathing heavily, having expended all his internal power, feeling an emptiness, his starforce completely exhausted.

Xiao Yifeng quickly took out two Spirit Gathering Pills to restore his starforce, using them for the first time and finding them effective, quickly restoring more than half of his power.

Though he didn’t have many Spirit Gathering Pills left, he would soon need to delve into alchemy.

Aiming to craft Heavenly Grade Elixirs, like the Spirit Gathering Pills, which were superior to directly absorbing Spirit Crystals.

Yet, the power unleashed by the stele this time surprised Xiao Yifeng greatly, not expecting such a formidable force from the stele now.

With the stele, he could easily handle sixth-layer Hollow Void Realm experts without using soul attacks.

Xiao Yifeng glanced coldly at Qin Cheng, disdainfully remarking, “In formations, you are inferior to me; in martial arts, you are even weaker!”

“You…”

Qin Cheng glared at Xiao Yifeng, spitting more blood in anger, fainting on the spot.

“Cheng’er, Cheng’er!”

Zhang Huai called out repeatedly, glaring angrily at Xiao Yifeng.

“Brat, dare to humiliate my disciple like this, I will not let you off!”

Zhang Huai remarked with a gloomy face, setting down Qin Cheng, moving to attack Xiao Yifeng.

Watching Zhang Huai charging at Xiao Yifeng, Deng Anxiong and Nie Jin’s expressions changed, preparing to make a move but stopped.

Bam! Bam!

At this moment, two dull sounds rang out, Zhang Huai was hit by two figures one after another, forcing him back, the attackers being Liu Sanming and Kong Hui, heads of the Formation Master Branch and Alchemist Branch.

“President, President Kong, you…”

Seeing the two intervene, Zhang Huai’s expression changed, looking extremely unpleasant.

“Zhang Huai, calm down, your disciple was injured during a normal competition, unrelated to others, and Xiao Yifeng is now part of the Formation Master Association. You cannot vent your anger on him and attack, otherwise, I won’t hold back!”

Liu Sanming addressed Zhang Huai directly.

“President, I…”

Zhang Huai showed a face full of unwillingness.

“Here’s an elixir for you, have your disciple take it, he’ll be fine!”

At this moment, Kong Hui threw a Sky Rank fifth-grade elixir to Zhang Huai, who caught it, thanking Kong Hui, “Thank you, President Kong.”
