Of course, Wang Wudao and the others are not foolish. Although their actions are currently greatly restricted, they will not just sit and wait for death!
A Blade of the Deathly Abyss with a skull at the hilt and nine rings appeared out of thin air. As soon as the deadly blade emerged, even Wang Long could feel the overwhelming sharpness emanating from it. The mountain winds borrowed by this formation were completely severed by the blade's fierce aura.
The wind was relentless, yet it could not overcome the might of this blade.
The entire formation came to a halt.
Ying Sang and the others trembled in shock.
Although they initially did not expect to kill two elder-level experts with just the three of them, being caught in such a passive situation right from the start after careful preparation was still a heavy blow to them.
"Steady your minds, do not lose confidence," Wang Long said coldly. "The wind element is obstructed, but you still have other means!"
With Wang Long's reminder, Ying Sang and the others quickly regained their composure.
The Windstill Stone activated.
The dense Earth Elemental Power enveloped that terrifying large blade. No matter how sharp its Blade Qi was, being tightly bound by this Earth Element stone meant that its power could not be unleashed!
Moreover, this wind-earth trapping formation was far more flexible than Wang Wudao had anticipated. After completely encasing that fearsome blade with earth element stones, the wind blades surged forth again!
However, Ying Sang and the others were still significantly weaker and could not fully unleash the power of this formation. After two transformations of the formation, controlling the movements of both individuals with Wind Elemental Power had already weakened considerably. Wang Wudao and his companion quickly broke free, simultaneously shouting coldly and pointing towards the Blade of the Deathly Abyss. The blade's ferocity expanded wildly; although it still could not harm those Earth Element spirit stones, it affected the entire formation.
Boom!
The three of them struggled to maintain their position for a short while, but ultimately their Spiritual Essence was insufficient, leading to their defeat. The entire grand formation trembled as it seemed on the verge of collapse!
Wang Long knew that they had reached their limit. He quickly inserted himself into the Earthly Array, and the formation, which was on the verge of collapse, stabilized immediately with Wang Long's powerful Spiritual Essence support. Meanwhile, Wang Wudao and Mo Wuqing, who had just felt a surge of confidence, once again sensed a strong wind pressing in from all directions.
The wind was heavy and unyielding!
The mixed elemental energies of wind and earth increased the feeling of heaviness by dozens of times, making it extremely difficult for the two to maintain their current state of levitation.
At this point, they realized that this array had only exerted about twenty percent of its power!
Wang Long reflected on how Ying Sang and the others had performed when using this array. Now that he was personally using it, he felt its power, its application of Primordial Power, and its shortcomings—yet the opponent Wang Long faced was not someone he took seriously at all.
Although Wang Wudao and Mo Wuqing had nearly shattered the Earthly Array, exhausting so much Spiritual Essence while already heavily injured was tantamount to overextending their combat capabilities.
Now, as they were once again ensnared by the combined elemental forces of wind and earth, every movement felt incredibly weak until Wang Long sensed that he could no longer extract more from them.
"I'll give you both a chance to serve me!" Wang Long coldly looked at them. Through a small-scale Shen Walking Dragon Technique, he could turn them into keys to break through the Twin Sword Sect's defenses. However, their strength far exceeded that of Old Six, so they needed to lower their guard against him.
"Not a chance!" Mo Wuqing decisively rejected Wang Long's proposal. "We have been part of the Twin Sword Sect for nearly a thousand years. Even if you kill us, you won't make us betray our sect!"
"Do you think you have already secured victory? Let me tell you, we will never surrender!" Wang Wudao suddenly abandoned his nearly powerless Blade of the Deathly Abyss. With his right hand clenched in a fist, he summoned an earthy mystical energy that formed a more ancient-looking but remarkably sharp Treasure Blade!
"Dual Sword Convergence!" Seeing his senior brother preparing to unleash a powerful move, Mo Wuqing did not hesitate to extend his left hand, channeling his robust Primordial Power directly into Wang Wudao, significantly boosting his strength!
"Earth-Shattering Sword!... Ugh!" As Wang Wudao felt the surge of external power and prepared to strike with his strongest blow against Wang Long for a mutual defeat, he suddenly saw a flash before his eyes and felt a sharp pain in his chest!
Then... there was nothing more.
"Why go through all this? Have you not realized that your speed within this Earthly Array has slowed down to that of a stone?" Wang Long sighed lightly as the Thunder Element Sword in his right hand became intangible. Behind him, as the mountain wind blew gently, Wang Wudao and Mo Wuqing collapsed to the ground, unable to rise again.
Victory came so suddenly that even though there was already enough confidence in Wang Long, it still surprised Ying Sang and the others.
"Did... did you really just kill them like that?"
"Of course! The divine clan, regardless of whether it's a major sect or a minor sect, is always very loyal to their own faction, right? We already gave them a chance, but they still chose to resist to the death. Should we not kill them and leave potential future troubles?" Wang Long felt frustrated by their reaction after such a clean and decisive victory.
"No, what we mean is that those two were elder-level experts from the Twin Sword Sect. They were taken down by you in just one move?" Now they were increasingly unable to gauge Lord Wang Long's true strength.
Could it be that the gap between major sects and minor sects was this vast at higher levels? Wasn't he just a newly emerged disciple from the Holy Divine Gate?
"Ahem, it's not entirely because my strength is greater than theirs; you all played a significant role as well." Wang Long began to speak irresponsibly, "First of all, they were unaware of our presence and suffered serious injuries from our ambush. Then, they were further weakened by this formation. Finally, my successful strike was also because this formation had already reduced their speed to the lowest point, leaving them unable to react at all. If any one of these conditions had been missing, this battle wouldn't have been so easy. We had the advantage of timing, location, and support; they didn't even have the strength to resist."
"Uh, can it really be calculated like that?" For Ying Sang and the others, who had only ever been to Fire Village and only encountered real 'battles' since the great war began there, Wang Long's explanation felt as profound as a heavenly book.
Of course, with the 'battle results' right before their eyes, they would never question Wang Long's words again. They silently committed these lessons to memory. Even if they could never reach such heights in the future, they would teach everything they knew to A-Yun and Little Tiger; they were the future of Alin Village!
Wang Long reached out his right hand and retrieved several Jade Slip Spirit Talismans that had already been placed around him.
