The overwhelming Killing Intent suddenly erupted from the Four Beasts, and under its stimulation, the momentum of Qinglong and the other Four Beasts surged dramatically, unleashing a fierce aura that swept through the air like a storm.
Bang bang bang...
The sword shadows that had been shooting towards them were momentarily stunned before they could even approach the Four Beasts, impacted by this fierce force that swept through like a storm. It was at this moment that the massive bodies of the Four Beasts, led by Qinglong, suddenly moved.
With a gigantic dragon claw sweeping through the air, it struck down the incoming sword shadows with an almost brutal force.
Boom boom!
The numerous sword shadows that Zhao Ming had unleashed, which could have trapped the Four Beasts for half a minute, were all crushed in an instant by Qinglong's claw. Not only did they fail to trap them for half a minute, but they didn't even have the qualification to entangle them for a moment!
As Qinglong struck out with its claw, the other three directions—Baihu, Zhuque, and Xuanwu—also began to move. Almost without exception, amidst the rumbling sounds, all the sword shadows released from the Azure Rainbow Greatsword collapsed at this moment, unable to withstand the attacks of the Four Beasts.
From the moment the Azure Rainbow Greatsword transformed into countless sword shadows shooting towards the Four Beasts to when the Four Beasts suddenly emitted overwhelming Killing Intent and dramatically increased their power to destroy all those sword shadows, it seemed like quite some time had passed. In reality, it was less than half a breath, perhaps even shorter. For Zhao Ming and his group of ten, it was merely a blink of an eye.
However, in that brief moment, all ten of them felt a chilling coldness throughout their bodies, their faces devoid of color as despair enveloped them. The scene before them was far from what they had imagined.
Originally, they had thought that once those sword shadows trapped the Four Beasts, they could break through and enter Fang Residence to eliminate the one controlling the Spirit Array. But now, before those sword shadows could even trap the Four Beasts, they were completely shattered. They remained surrounded by the Four Beasts. Given their previous strength, they had no confidence in escaping; now with this surge of Killing Intent enhancing the Four Beasts' power, they had even less chance.
At this moment, for Zhao Ming and his group of ten, it truly felt like there was no way out—no way forward or backward. Surrounded by the Four Beasts, they could only wait helplessly for death!
"I refuse to accept this!" Zhao Ming screamed in despair. His gaze towards Fang Residence was filled with intense resentment. At this point, he still believed that this Four Symbols Killing Formation enveloping Fengyan City and playing with them was set up by a Spirit Array master from Ziyang Sect.
Although one side was Ziyang Sect and the other was Jincheng Sect—and they were technically invaders—it was still shameless for a Spirit Array master to ambush them here and bully these juniors!
"A dignified disciple of Jincheng Sect from Primordial Embryo Realm has traveled thousands of miles to this Fengyan City where even the strongest is merely at Alchemy Realm, attempting to destroy my Fang Family. Now that you have failed in your skills, you should be punished; what is there to refuse?"
A calm voice suddenly came from within Fang Residence.
At that moment, Zhao Ming and his group of ten suddenly focused their gazes as three figures emerged from behind the slowly opening doors of Fang Family.
These three were naturally Fang Zheng Tian, Fang Qingshan, and Fang Chen. As their eyes scanned over these three individuals, Zhao Ming and his companions quickly fixed their attention on Fang Chen. However, in the next moment, their expressions changed drastically as they stared wide-eyed at Fang Chen as if witnessing something incredibly unbelievable.
"The one controlling the Spirit Array is actually you?!" Zhao Ming exclaimed hoarsely.
He could not believe the scene before him. Such a powerful Spirit Array was actually set up by a young man who was merely at the Alchemy Realm level and clearly much younger than them. They had originally thought that this was arranged by a master of Spirit Arrays from the Ziyang Sect, but now this scene completely overturned their previous assumptions.
The one who could manipulate the Spirit Array was not necessarily the one who set it up, but at this moment, feeling the faint yet profound connection between Fang Chen and the Four Beasts beside them, Zhao Ming and the others were reluctant to believe it, yet they all understood in their hearts that this terrifying Spirit Array was indeed arranged by Fang Chen. Otherwise, there was no way he could have such a close relationship with it.
It was precisely because of this that Zhao Ming and the others felt an even greater shock.
At such a young age and only at the Alchemy Realm level, he had managed to set up such a powerful Spirit Array capable of easily killing Primordial Embryo Realm Martial Artists. Just how terrifying was Fang Chen's mastery of formations? The mere thought of it sent chills down their spines.
"Is this guy even human?" a disciple from Jincheng Sect beside Zhao Ming said bitterly.
The resentment in Zhao Ming's heart had transformed into intense shock and horror as he stared wide-eyed at Fang Chen. Suddenly, something clicked in his mind: "With an Alchemy Realm cultivation at such a young age, this person seems to be the one... Fang Chen from Ziyang Sect!"
"The latest True Disciple of Ziyang Sect, who caused quite a stir in the Colorful Sacred Realm and seemed to have done something remarkable, the one that made Ancestor furious—Fang Chen?!" Upon hearing Zhao Ming's exclamation, those around him quickly realized, and their gazes toward Fang Chen suddenly ignited with fervor.
Ever since Fang Chen killed the projection of Jincheng Ancestor's Divine Consciousness in the Colorful Sacred Realm, it had stirred up a huge uproar among the highest ranks of the Seven Sects Conference, and within Jincheng Sect, the waves caused were even more intense.
Although many disciples and elders of Jincheng Sect did not know exactly what Fang Chen had done in the Colorful Sacred Realm, there was no doubt that he had deeply angered Jincheng Ancestor. In fact, high-ranking figures within Jincheng Sect had already placed bounties on Fang Chen's head, with rewards so generous that countless disciples were shocked; even elders were astonished and eager to take action.
In the eyes of everyone from Jincheng Sect, Fang Chen was no longer just a disciple of Ziyang Sect; he had become a walking treasure trove. As long as they killed him, they could almost instantly obtain vast resources for their sect. If it weren't for the great distance between Jincheng Sect and Ziyang Sect, even without this incident, disciples would have come to hunt Fang Chen long ago.
Although Zhao Ming and his ten companions came to destroy Fang Family, they naturally hoped for good fortune in encountering Fang Chen during this process so they could kill him while completing their mission. And indeed, they had encountered him.
The fiery excitement in Zhao Ming's group quickly faded away, replaced by deep bitterness. Before meeting Fang Chen, they could never have imagined that someone with merely Alchemy Realm cultivation could be so terrifying.
Not to mention anything else; just being able to arrange such a lethal Spirit Array against Primordial Embryo Realm Martial Artists meant that without Heavenly Realm cultivation coming here, no matter how many came, they would not be enough to fall into his traps. And they were clearly about to become the first batch of unfortunate souls to be trapped by Fang Chen.
"It should come to an end," Fang Chen said softly as he looked indifferently at Zhao Ming and his group of ten at the entrance of Fang Residence.
At his words, all Four Beasts surrounding Zhao Ming suddenly let out a simultaneous roar. Immediately after, a frenzy of Killing Intent surged forth from within them like an overwhelming tide. Amidst the chaos, the Four Beasts went wild and charged fiercely toward Zhao Ming's group.
On one side stood beings powerful enough to rival peak Primordial Embryo Realm fighters—manifested by the Spirit Array—whereas on the other side stood only one late-stage Primordial Embryo Realm fighter among Zhao Ming's group of nine mid-stage Primordial Embryo Realm fighters. This battle had been doomed from the start; now with the Azure Dragon Four Beasts fully frenzied, it would undoubtedly hasten this inevitable conclusion.
Under such a vast disparity in strength, it wasn't long before casualties began to appear among Zhao Ming's ten members. One person's entire head was crushed by a massive dragon claw. Soon after, another person had half their body bitten off by the Black Tortoise.
Boom!
In mid-air, a continuous rumbling sound echoed, occasionally interrupted by one or two cries of despair. Each cry almost represented the fall of a disciple from the Jincheng Sect. Blood constantly flashed amidst the brilliant shockwaves of Vital Energy.
After about a minute, only Zhao Ming, a late-stage Primordial Embryo Realm cultivator, remained alive from the originally imposing group of ten. The other nine had all been ruthlessly slaughtered by the Azure Dragon Four Beasts. Zhao Ming's situation was dire; not only was his Vital Energy depleted, but his body was also severely damaged.
Bang!
With the final strike from the White Tiger, Zhao Ming completely fell. The entire group of ten was thus annihilated in Fengyan City.
"It’s over." Looking at the bloodstains still lingering in the air and the scent of blood wafting around, Fang Chen said calmly.
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the massive Azure Dragon Four Beasts that had seemed to cover the sky suddenly dissipated in mid-air. The oppressive atmosphere that had enveloped Fengyan City also faded away.
Witnessing Zhao Ming and his group’s complete downfall since their entry into Fengyan City, Fang Qingshan and Fang Zheng Tian were already stunned into numbness.
Those were ten strong cultivators of the Primordial Embryo Realm; any one of them could sweep through all of Fengyan City. Yet now, they had been effortlessly exterminated by Fang Chen.
In ancient times, powerful beings could turn clouds and rain with a mere gesture, causing rivers and mountains to run red with blood in mere conversation while their formidable foes turned to dust. Now, they felt a similar aura emanating from Fang Chen!
