Chapter 1569: Chapter 1569: A Formation Traps a Powerful Enemy

“Twenty Golden Pill Experts actually besiege two Nascent Soul High Rank Experts, it’s pure folly and asking for death!”

Seeing Li Muyun and the other twenty Golden Pill Experts surround the two Supreme Elders of Zixia Manor and adopt an attacking stance, Chao Gaishi couldn’t help but laugh heartily, his expression full of contempt.

“It’s over!”

Fan Luoying closed her eyes in pain.

In her view, although the disciples of Flower Pavilion, led by Li Muyun, were commendable for their courage, even if they joined forces, their strength was far from being a match for the two Supreme Elders of Zixia Manor.

Once the two sides engaged, Li Muyun and the others, twenty in total, would likely be annihilated within a few moves.

Li Muyun and the twenty others were from Flower Pavilion’s direct disciples and core disciples, the strongest at Golden Pill Perfection, and the weakest at High Rank Golden Core.

Such a formation might barely contend with two Nascent Soul Initial Stage Experts, would struggle against two Nascent Soul Mid Stage Experts, and stood no chance against two Nascent Soul High Rank Experts.

Of course, this was all in Fan Luoying’s mind.

Including Chao Gaishi, many martial artists held similar thoughts.

Although Fan Luoying and others didn’t have confidence in Li Muyun and the others, the reality turned out to be far beyond their expectations.

Positioned in the array formed by Li Muyun and the twenty, the two Zixia Manor Elders first noticed something was amiss.

They initially thought Li Muyun and the twenty were preparing to besiege them and were dismissive, but it wasn’t until Li Muyun and the others changed formations to form an array that completely surrounded them that they realized something was wrong.

Though well-versed and somewhat knowledgeable in formations, the two Supreme Elders of Zixia Manor found the array set by Li Muyun and the others to be entirely novel and unprecedented.

They charged left and right, trying to break free, but to no avail, only then appreciating the array’s vastness and intricacy.

They also observed that the combined strength of the twenty Golden Core disciples from Flower Pavilion had, surprisingly, increased by several folds.

Thus, the originally overmatched twenty Golden Core disciples from Flower Pavilion now possessed strength to contend with them, albeit eventually they could prevail, it would be a long time coming.

The two Supreme Elders of Zixia Manor were secretly astonished, wondering who the mastermind teaching them this formation was.

“Five Elements Immortal Extermination Grand Formation! Attack!”

Fang Bai appeared alongside Lu Liyu outside the formation formed by Li Muyun and the others, standing in mid-air, eyes flashing with cold light, fixed on the two Supreme Elders of Zixia Manor, suddenly shouting loudly.

The formation currently assembled by Li Muyun and the twenty was the “Five Elements Immortal Extermination Grand Formation”, whereas their previous practice involved the “Five Elements Immortal Extermination Formation”, a smaller array composed of five people.

Considering this life-and-death confrontation between the two sects, Fang Bai realized that for the Flower Pavilion side to seize a surprising victory, they first had to defeat the two Supreme Elders of Zixia Manor, hence he had Li Muyun and the others practice forming the “Five Elements Immortal Extermination Grand Formation”.

Once the two Supreme Elders of Zixia Manor were slain, Li Muyun and the others could then split the “Five Elements Immortal Extermination Grand Formation” into four smaller “Five Elements Immortal Extermination Formations” to deal with other Zixia Manor experts.

With Fang Bai’s shout, the “Five Elements Immortal Extermination Grand Formation” swiftly transformed, the twenty Golden Core disciples from Flower Pavilion simultaneously attacked the two Supreme Elders of Zixia Manor trapped within the array.

Trapped within the “Five Elements Immortal Extermination Grand Formation”, the two Supreme Elders of Zixia Manor dared not underestimate their opponents, summoning their spiritual artifacts to engage fully.

“How could this be?”

Observing the situation from afar, both Fan Luoying, the Tower Master of Flower Pavilion, and Chao Gaishi, the Manor Master of Zixia Manor, were incredulous.

However, Fan Luoying was soon filled with joy, while Chao Gaishi felt somewhat dejected.

Chao Gaishi’s dejection stemmed from the fact that in this battle, the two Supreme Elders of Zixia Manor were the absolute mainstays. If they were held up for a short time, all was well, but if delayed long enough, neither the high-ranking members of Zixia Manor nor its ten thousand elite disciples could withstand the tens of thousands of Flower Pavilion disciples.

If Zixia Manor’s ten thousand elite disciples were entirely lost, even if they ultimately emerged as victors, it would be a Pyrrhic victory, meaningless, and might provide an opportunity for other sects to capitalize and surpass them.

Fan Luoying’s joy was naturally from seeing the hope of turning the tide and winning.

“Haha, I knew my disciple was extraordinary! This bizarre and formidable formation must have been taught by him to those girls. Tower Master Fan, with this grand formation, today’s battle has no worries!”

He Wujie, watching Fang Bai directing the “Five Elements Immortal Extermination Grand Formation” in attack, was greatly pleased and laughed out loudly.

His spirits soared, his attacks became suddenly fierce, quickly gaining the upper hand over the Zixia Manor high-ranking member he was fighting.

That Zixia Manor high-ranking member, seeing the two Supreme Elders trapped in the opposing array, inwardly cried out in alarm, panicked, unable to concentrate, he suddenly felt something flash before his eyes, sensing something seem to be behind him.

Immediately, that Zixia Manor high-ranking member felt his back hairs stand on end, a strong sense of crisis hit. Before he could turn, his body was cleft in half by a long blade from head to toe, falling on the spot.

This was the first Nascent Soul Realm Expert to fall after the intense conflict between the sect’s tens of thousands of disciples began.

Consequently, the morale of the Flower Pavilion disciples soared, their spirit unstoppable, their shouts of battle much more resounding.

On the other hand, Zixia Manor’s morale took a major hit, and within an instant, over a hundred disciples were either injured or perished, suffering heavy losses.

Zixia Manor was counting on its two Supreme Elders. As long as they could destroy the Myriad Flowers Tower and publicly defeat the two severely injured and unconscious Supreme Elders of Flower Pavilion, the victory was within reach.

However, plans could not keep up with changes.

Zixia Manor never expected Flower Pavilion’s disciples to employ a damned “Five Elements Immortal Extermination Grand Formation”, trapping their two Supreme Elders, rendering them incapable of playing their roles.

This completely shattered Zixia Manor’s plan to swiftly and decisively secure victory with its two Supreme Elders.

This time, Zixia Manor only brought ten thousand elite disciples, unable to match Flower Pavilion in quality, and far outnumbered. If the two Supreme Elders couldn’t break the formation in time, most of them would perish on this Peony Island.

Yet the “Five Elements Immortal Extermination Grand Formation” under Fang Bai’s command became increasingly skillful and potent, with the two Zixia Manor Supreme Elders mostly on the defensive, having pitifully few opportunities to attack, making escape through breaking the formation in a short time utterly unrealistic.

“Flower Pavilion disciples, bravely follow me into battle! If we can annihilate the ten thousand Zixia Manor disciples, victory is within our grasp!”

Fan Luoying fiercely inhaled a breath of spiritual energy, shouting aloud, her voice instantly spreading across the entire Peony Island, stirring every Flower Pavilion disciple who heard it, their blood boiling, their fighting spirit high.
