A shocking blow

"No!" the Qingfeng Sect Sect Master roared. He had just witnessed the power of the Formation and understood that it was not something they could handle; rushing up now would only mean throwing their lives away in vain.

Several Elders had long been overcome with rage and ignored the Sect Master's roar.

However, having just witnessed the power of the Formation, they also knew that they were definitely no match for it.

Exchanging glances, their Aura rose simultaneously, and surprisingly, they all used a Forbidden Art at the same time.

The scarred Martial Artist was terrified. This bunch of lunatics from the Qingfeng Sect—was it really worth risking their lives just because one of their Martial Kings was killed?

Everyone held their breath, watching the battle before them with undivided attention.

The Qingfeng Sect Sect Master knew their intentions and could not help but let out a sorrowful laugh. He also hoisted his Broadsword, his Aura surging throughout his body.

He, too, used a Forbidden Art.

The dark-skinned Martial Artist was somewhat shocked. He had not expected the battle to be so intense from the very beginning, with them resorting to a desperate, mutually destructive tactic.

Seeing this, the Qingfeng Sect Sect Master and all the Elders charged toward the Formation, moving forward with indomitable will.

"I am sorry, everyone. It is I who brought this disaster upon the Sect." Tears streamed down the Qingfeng Sect Sect Master's cheeks; the old man's death had dealt him a heavy blow.

"We have no regrets." Seeing the Sect Master following them, several of the Elders actually smiled.

The Qingfeng Sect Sect Master gazed firmly at the Formation and said with resonance: "I have failed the Qingfeng Sect, but I have no regrets in having known you all. I caused this, and I will bear the consequences." Having said that, he took the lead, standing in the very front.

"If you want to die, then come!" Although the scarred Martial Artist felt some trepidation, he refused to show any sign of weakness.

"Kill!" With a swift stride, the Qingfeng Sect Sect Master appeared directly in front of the Formation.

The Qingfeng Sect Elders behind him exchanged looks and followed behind the Sect Master.

The Qingfeng Sect Sect Master hoisted the Broadsword on his shoulder, gathered his Spiritual Qi, and slashed toward the Formation.

At the same time, all the Qingfeng Sect Elders unleashed their strongest attacks, striking toward the Formation.

For a moment, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi surged, and sand and stones flew through the air.

The combined force of their attacks caused a phantom image to appear in the sky, reaching the power of a full-force blow from an ordinary Martial Emperor.

"What a powerful attack! The Sect Master and the Elders will surely be able to break the Formation and annihilate them in one fell swoop." Expectation rose on the faces of the Qingfeng Sect Disciples. Such a strong attack was only targeting Martial Kings; although they were using a Formation, a Martial King was still just a Martial King and would certainly not be able to withstand it.

"What do we do? What do we do? We are going to lose." Seeing the combined strike from the Qingfeng Sect, the Demonic Sect Disciples lost all confidence; they were terrified, their morale plummeted, and they were on the verge of turning to flee.

"Hold the line for me!" The scarred Martial Artist felt a pull on his Qi. This was the 'Aura' inherent in an attack like that of a Martial Emperor. Under the pressure of this 'Aura', none of them could leave the Formation; they had no choice but to take the hit.

"I hope the Evil Young Master's Formation holds up, otherwise I am dead for sure today."

If they withstood this blow, they would live; if they could not, they would die.

Both sides had brought out their full strength to decide the outcome.

"Boom!" With a heaven-shocking roar like thunder, the Qingfeng Sect's strike finally collided with the Ten-Star Formation.

For a moment, rubble flew into the sky and the wind swept away the clouds.

Everyone could not help but close their eyes, because a blinding light erupted from where the two forces collided.

After the sound subsided, everyone opened their eyes and looked nervously toward the site of the battle.

The dust slowly settled, revealing a huge crater formed on the ground. Standing in the crater were ten men holding Broadswords, and in front of them, the Qingfeng Sect Sect Master stood proudly.

"How is it? What is the result?" Everyone wondered in their hearts.
