Chapter 1896: Assault

Translator: Legge 

Wind Flame rode on the alpha and broke free from the chaotic army. He was already in a sorry state with a terrible expression.

“Screech!”

A series of piercing cries sounded from midair!

Hundreds of goshawks swooped down in succession towards the cultivators beneath Snow Wind Ridge.

However, the barrier outside Snow Wind Ridge did not only defend against the 100,000-strong army at the front, even the skies above Snow Wind Ridge had a dome-like barrier!

When the goshawks struck the dome, they merely caused ripples on the barrier and could not break through.

On the contrary, the goshawks were dizzy from the collision.

Some of the goshawks fell and were drowned by the 100,000-strong army before they could take off, dying on the spot!

The cultivators of Snow Wind Ridge were all pale.

Some of the cultivators were so close to the 100,000-strong Evil Wolf Army and Goshawk Gang that their faces turned pale.

There was only a single barrier as thin as cicada wings between them.

However, that barrier blocked all 100,000 cultivators!

“Hahahaha!”

Duan Tianliang could not help but burst into laughter and shout, “Everyone, don’t panic. This is a trump card left behind by Boss Su to deal with these bandits!”

Xia Qingying heaved a sigh of relief as well with a sense of trepidation.

After destroying Blood Sun Valley, Su Zimo cultivated while comprehending a formation.

It was only after ten years that Su Zimo managed to set up the formation around Snow Wind Ridge.

Thereafter, Su Zimo imparted the formation to Yue Hao and Xia Qingying.

However, neither of them had deep attainments in array formations.

The two of them had only learned the Dharmic art to activate the formation when the change in the abyss of the Dragon Abyss Star occurred and Su Zimo left.

Actually, prior to this, even Yue Hao and Xia Qingying did not know how powerful this formation could be.

To think that this formation could defend against an army of 100,000!

Of course, it was also lucky that Yue Hao sensed something beforehand and strengthened their defenses, even sending Shen Fei to patrol within a radius of five kilometers.

If not for Shen Fei’s warning, the 100,000-strong army would have arrived in the dark night. Even with this formation, Snow Wind Ridge would have suffered immense losses!

At that thought, Xia Qingying was alarmed and ran towards Yue Hao and the others.

Yue Hao laid in Shen Fei’s embrace. His face was pale and he frowned. There was a huge hole in his abdomen that was still flowing with blood.

“Husband, h-how… are you?”

When Xia Qingying saw Yue Hao like this, her eyes reddened and tears streamed down her face.

“It’s fine, I won’t die,”

Yue Hao grinned and forced a smile.

The Silver Giant at the side sprawled on the ground with a menacing wound on his back. His flesh was overturned and it was a shocking sight!

Gu Wenjun was healing the Silver Giant bit by bit.

If not for the Silver Giant, Yue Hao and the other two would have died!

Outside the formation.

The 100,000-strong army was in a mess and many people were injured or dead from the trampling.

Cang Ya’s gaze was dark.

Wind Flame was enraged as well and could not help but roar, “Listen to my orders! All of you, stop!”

That voice drowned out the clamor of the 100,000-strong army.

The Evil Wolf and Goshawk cultivators gradually calmed down and began to retreat, regrouping and reorganizing their formations.

“To think that there would be an immortal formation in Snow Wind Ridge,”

Cang Ya murmured softly, feeling troubled.

Those who were proficient in array formations were extremely rare to begin with.

Even some Formation Grandmasters of the lower worlds would have difficulty coming into contact with the immortal formations of the upper world.

Wind Flame declared loudly, “Anyone who is proficient in immortal formations, step forward!”

A moment later, a skinny old man at the Level 3 Black Essence realm stood out hesitantly.

“Boss, I know a little about array formations. However, I don’t know much about immortal formations and I don’t know if I can dispel it,”

The skinny old man laughed dryly.

“It’s fine!”

Wind Flame waved his hand and said in a deep voice, “As long as you can dispel this formation, I’ll reward you handsomely for your contribution today!”

“Alright, I’ll do my best!”

The skinny old man was invigorated.

Wind Flame said in a deep voice, “Evil Wolf Army, listen up! Everyone, disperse and surround Snow Wind Ridge! Not an ant is allowed to leave Snow Wind Ridge!”

Cang Ya nodded slowly as well. “Brothers of the Goshawk Gang, do the same! Once the formation is broken, we’ll wash Snow Wind Ridge with blood and kill every single one of them!”

“Kill! Kill! Kill!”

Many bandits roared excitedly with ferocious gazes.

The 100,000-strong army moved and surrounded Snow Wind Ridge layer by layer before long.

Many cultivators of Snow Wind Ridge were alarmed.

If the immortal formation was destroyed, they would not even have a way out!

Through the barrier, a skinny old man from the Evil Wolf Army began to patrol the surroundings of the formation. From time to time, he squatted down to check and stopped in his tracks, frowning in deep thought.

Two hours.

Four hours.

In the blink of an eye, half a day had passed.

Everyone from the Evil Wolf Army was getting impatient. As for everyone from Snow Wind Ridge, they were even more nervous, afraid that the skinny old man would break through the immortal formation!

Xia Qingying and Yue Hao had only learned how to activate the formation but they knew nothing else.

Against that, everyone from Snow Wind Ridge could only wait silently.

After an entire day, the skinny old man was still sweating profusely as he lingered outside the immortal formation without any activity.

The impatience on Wind Flame and Cang Ya’s faces intensified.

Finally, Wind Flame could not wait any longer and asked slowly, “Can you do it or not? How long will it take to dispel this immortal formation?!”

“I-I don’t know either,”

The skinny old man nearly broke out in sweat and said with a trembling voice, “The formation of this immortal formation is truly complicated. I haven’t found the formation eye yet…”

“In that case, you can’t dispel this immortal formation?”

Wind Flame’s expression turned cold as he interrupted with a sinister tone.

“I-I definitely can!”

The skinny old man shuddered in fear and could only grit his teeth and agree.

Wind Flame said expressionlessly, “Give me a deadline.”

Gulping, the skinny old man probed, “A year…”

The moment he said that, he felt his body turn cold!

The skinny old man glanced at Wind Flame only to see the latter’s face filled with killing intent. He changed his words hurriedly, “H-Half a year!”

“Damn you! Half a year won’t do either!”

Unable to hold it in any longer, Wind Flame cursed and slashed forward with his saber!

Pfft!

The saber beam descended and sliced the skinny old man into two, spilling blood and organs all over the ground!

Wind Flame and Cang Ya were filled with killing intent—how could they endure for another half a year?

“Hahahaha!”

Duan Tianliang could not help but burst into laughter and mock, “Half a year to dispel an immortal formation? I’m dying of laughter!”

“Don’t be smug,”

Wind Flame glared at Duan Tianliang who was laughing and said coldly, “I’ll kill you first after I dispel this immortal formation!”

“Evil Wolf Army, Goshawk Gang, listen up! Attack in shifts day and night!”

Wind Flame and Cang Ya ordered at the same time.

Wind Flame looked at everyone from Snow Wind Ridge with a murderous aura and said sinisterly, “Let’s see how long this lousy formation can last!”
