Top-Tier Superpower Student-Chapter 687 - 659 Formation
A vast killing force emanated from deep within the forest, and Lin Tian saw from this killing force what seemed to be the aura of a Half-Step Fusion Realm master.
Could it be that the Li Family had invited another Half-Step Fusion Realm expert?
That couldn't be right, the Li Family couldn't possibly have that much influence!
Following that, spiritual power erupted in the sky, forming a faint phantom.
The phantom was formed by the condensation of superpower and True Yuan, slowly materializing.
It was a huge sphere, covered entirely with small holes, from which a terrifying ferocity emanated.
Lin Tian couldn't help but wonder what exactly this object was and how it could emit such formidable killing power!
Jian Cangsheng shouted from the sidelines, "This is a formation, there are thousands of formations in the world, I only know a little about them, and I do not know how to break the formation!"
Huo Shaotian added from the side, "Any formation, at the very least, requires a few people to operate, and at most, tens of thousands. Looking at this formation, it's incredibly chaotic and devoid of any scheme. The one operating this formation must be unfamiliar with it. For him to forcefully activate this formation and unleash such great power, he must be using the power of a treasure!"
Huo Shaotian's insight into this layer proved his understanding of formations was slightly better than Jian Cangsheng's, but only by a little, and he too did not know how to break the formation.
Lin Tian was shocked, he had already figured out that the Li Family had lured them into the small forest with an ulterior motive, or rather, he had already anticipated an ambush in the small forest.
He thought that the Li Family's ambush would merely involve more people and a few traps, but he never expected that the Li Family would even dabble with formations.
Where there are people, there is Jianghu, and where there are people, there is war.
Huaxia, having a civilization unbroken for thousands of years, is the only ancient country that hasn't seen an interruption of its civilization. Through conflicts of interest and dynastic changes, wars have never ceased.
Countless people have shed blood and sacrificed. After generations of research and exploration, people gradually invented formations.
A formation is a tool that gathers the power of few to complement each other, both in offense and defense, aiming for the greatest victory at the smallest cost.
In the Tang dynasty, the famous general Xue Rengui arranged the Great Dragon Gate Formation, defeating hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, securing decades of peace at the border.
In the Ming dynasty, Qi Jiguang, a general who fought against the Japanese, arranged the mandarin duck formation, sweeping through the Japanese and, after hundreds of battles, remained undefeated, wiping out the Japanese pirates who had plagued the Ming dynasty for decades.
Formations should not be underestimated; their lethal power is astonishing and horrifying!
However, in modern times, wars are fought with firearms, and formations have gradually disappeared from people's view. Even major sects like the Flaming Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect cannot arrange a proper formation. It's extraordinary that the Li Family managed to set up a formation to kill Lin Tian. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
While everyone was marveling, numerous short arrows, each over three inches long, suddenly shot out from the small holes on the sphere.
The short arrows were not tangible, but formed by the combination of Ability Source and True Yuan, they were incredibly sharp, extremely fast, terrifyingly lethal, and their power was not inferior to that of regular arrows.
A multitude of whistling sounds filled the air, causing distress and numbing people's legs.
"Sigh...!"
Lin Tian exhaled deeply, facing the dense, star-like short arrows, his heart turned cold.
This force was simply unstoppable; this wave of short arrows would kill all Half-Step Fusion Realm masters, and even a Fusion Realm master could only struggle for a few rounds before being pierced through the heart by the chaotic arrows and dying!
Unable to resist, yet having to withstand, even if facing death, one must die standing.
Lin Tian activated the Godslayer Sword, readying himself for the final resistance.
But as it turned out, Lin Tian didn't actually need to resist, because someone was resisting for him.
A familiar wave of superpower energy rose from not far away, and a golden battle spear came hurtling straight at them.
Dragon Emperor!
It was Dragon Emperor again!
Whenever Lin Tian was about to be killed, Dragon Emperor would appear.
And the first thing Lin Tian saw was his golden battle spear!
Lin Tian laughed, and a weight was finally lifted from his heart, knowing that with the Dragon Emperor intervening, they would be safe.
The golden battle spear, with the force of thunder, fiercely stabbed into the ground before Lin Tian. Then, the spear unleashed its fierce power, creating a golden surge that swept through the heavens, shaking the nine heavens and ten lands. It cut off all the densely packed arrows, shattered the sphere-like formation in the void, and a scream echoed in everyone's ears.
Dragon Emperor, with his dominating approach, directly crushed the formation and severely injured the person powering it.
Everyone was shocked, feeling both joy and anxiety.
The joyful ones were, of course, Lin Tian and his people, and those anxious were his enemies!
Dragon Emperor slowly emerged from the dense forest, his presence powerful and awe-inspiring.
All eyes were on Dragon Emperor as everyone made way for him, afraid to provoke this Godslayer.
Dragon Emperor slowly approached Lin Tian and dropped the man in black he had been holding onto the ground.
Lin Tian stepped forward, grabbed the black cloth covering the face of the man in black, and quickly pulled it off.
"It's him!" Lin Tian exclaimed in shock. This man was not unfamiliar to him—it was Dongfang Kun, the Gang Leader of the Qinglong Gang.
In Lingyue Town, Dongfang Kun had been beaten to the point of vomiting blood by Duan Sandao. Not only was he severely injured, but he had almost lost all his face. He couldn't swallow this humiliation and had been secretly monitoring Lin Tian's movements all the time.
A month ago, the Li Family had abducted He Qianqian and others. Lin Tian went to rescue them, and although he won a great victory, Dongfang Kun learned of the enmity between Lin Tian and the Li Family.
He began to plan, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge on Lin Tian.
A few days ago, Lin Tian had also annihilated the Ouyang Family. By chance, Dongfang Kun discovered the Tiger Charm of the Ouyang Family.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend, so Dongfang Kun quickly joined forces with the Tiger Charm and then allied with the Li Family to move against Lin Tian.
This time, the four or five hundred people surrounding Lin Tian included half from the Li Family, and the other half were members of the Qinglong Gang.
Dongfang Kun knew that with Duan Sandao as a powerful backer behind Lin Tian, he dared not personally attack him, lest Duan Sandao trouble him later.
So he had always been showing his face covered, afraid of leaving any clues for Duan Sandao to find.
In his earlier years, Dongfang Kun had obtained a piece of a broken formation map. The map required at least three Half-Step Fusion Realm powerhouses to activate it and unleash the power of the formation, but the Qinglong Gang had only one Half-Step Fusion Realm powerhouse, so Dongfang Kun could not activate the formation map.
A few days ago, he came to Wu'an City to check the situation and inadvertently found an unknown flower in this forest. Although he didn't know the name and use of the flower, its spiritual power was boundless, clearly a rare treasure of heaven and earth.
When he saw this flower, he was overjoyed. Knowing Lin Tian's strength, he feared that the four or five hundred assassins wouldn't be able to take down Lin Tian, so he used the power of this unknown flower to arrange the formation and lure Lin Tian into it.
