Chapter 557 Kill! Leave no one alive!

Xiang Kuang had previously arranged several Saint King Realm experts near the Azure Firmament Merchant Guild to observe the movements of the guardians.

Upon learning that the guardians had left the city together again, he immediately led his people into Hang Prefecture.

However, fearing detection, the trackers did not get close and did not know their exact location, only that they were in the North Sea Islands.

"They went to the North Sea again? That's perfect, we'll get our revenge there!"

Recalling the ambush last time, Xiang Kuang was furious. When had their Seven Kings City ever suffered such a loss? They had to fight back!

At this moment, Xiang Kuang and Liu Lian were accompanied by over twenty people, all of whom were experts from Seven Kings City. Ten of them were at the Saint King Realm Perfection like them, and the remaining dozen or so were all in the Saint King Realm.

Such terrifying combat power, as long as Emperor Realm experts did not appear, could sweep away any force below the overlord level.

Xiang Kuang and his group lined up in a single file, their powerful Divine Sense fully unleashed, covering everything within a million-mile radius like an overwhelming tide, leaving nothing to hide.

They searched the North Sea Islands in this manner, carpet-style.

Xiang Kuang and his group were fast enough, and with enough people, the vast North Sea seemed relatively small to them. So, it wasn't long before they discovered Xu Hao and the others' whereabouts.

"Found them! Kill! Leave no one alive!"

Xiang Kuang roared sharply, Killing Intent soaring into the sky, almost tangible.

The experts accompanying Xiang Kuang and Liu Lian were mostly descendants or friends of the Seven Kings. They were, in essence, a part of the strongest lineup of Seven Kings City's middle-aged generation.

They were still far from a full-scale deployment, as this was only to deal with the guardians of a single branch of the Azure Firmament Merchant Guild, not a situation requiring their entire force.

Upon discovering Xu Hao and the others' whereabouts, they surrounded the entire small island in an instant.

To prevent any fish from slipping through the net, they immediately took out jade pillars inscribed with Formation patterns and set up an ancient Formation to seal off the Void Realm under this heaven and earth.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

When streams of light connected, forming an inverted giant bowl that enveloped the small island from above.

Xu Hao and the others, who were enjoying their drinks, belatedly realized something was wrong.

In an instant, they sobered up considerably, all soaring into the sky and roaring angrily.

"What kind of rats dare to disturb our drinking?"

"You're courting death!"

Soon, the figures of Xiang Kuang and his group appeared before them, and when they looked closely, their faces all changed drastically.

Because the opponent's lineup was too powerful!

Ten Saint King Perfection, fourteen Saint Kings, with the weakest being at Saint King Fourth Stage.

With such combat power, even if they doubled their numbers, they would not be a match.

Being unable to win was secondary; as long as they could escape alive, it would be fine. But while they were drinking, the other party had already set up the ancient grand Formation. Now, they couldn't win, nor could they escape!

"What is the meaning of this?" the Bald Strongman asked in a deep voice.

He spoke words of feigned ignorance, yet his mind was racing, pondering how to escape with his life.

Xiang Kuang sneered, "What meaning? Have you forgotten so quickly how you ambushed me here and chased after me with your blades?"

Xiang Kuang had been robbing for so many years and had never been as disheveled as he was that day.

He absolutely had to avenge this humiliation!

Liu Lian reminded him, "Brother Xiang, stop wasting words with them. Let's just act; delay breeds trouble."

After all, Seven Kings City was quite remote from here, and the Azure Firmament Merchant Guild had branches in many large prefectures.

Once they sent out a call for help and other guardians arrived, it would be uncertain who would win.

Xiang Kuang waved his hand.

"Brothers, kill!"

Liu Lian and his group said little, all charging in to kill.

With the ancient Formation in place, the people of Seven Kings City could enter and exit freely, but the guardians of the Azure Firmament Merchant Guild could not escape. Thus, the experts of Seven Kings City were in an invincible position.

"What should we do?" Xu Hao asked via sound transmission.

A Earth-Rank Guardian skilled in talisman drawing replied, "I have a top-tier Formation-breaking talisman. You all hold them off with all your might first. Once I break open the grand Formation, we'll have a chance to escape!"

"How can we hold off so many Saint King Perfection opponents?" the Bald Strongman subconsciously retorted.

The guardian who drew talismans roared, "Then we'll all die here!"

"Pfft!"

The Ren Zi Offering at the very front was instantly wiped out in a single encounter.

The remaining people were all drenched in cold sweat, realizing that it was indeed a critical moment of life and death.

Thus, they dared not hold back or be negligent in the slightest, pulling out all their treasured trump cards and treasures without hesitation.

Driven by the fear of death and the desire to live, coupled with the unrestrained use of various trump cards and treasures, they erupted with unparalleled power, temporarily holding off the opponent's first wave of attacks.

However, Xu Hao, the weakest among the guardians, was already heavily injured and spitting blood.

But the others had no intention of helping Xu Hao bear the pressure. If they could run now, they would undoubtedly throw Xu Hao aside to attract attention, making it easier for themselves to escape.

"Don't let them break the Formation!"

Xiang Kuang shouted loudly because he saw a guardian had already cast a Formation-breaking talisman into the Formation, and the Formation patterns had begun to shatter, and the light curtain forming the grand Formation was slowly dimming.

If they were allowed to hold on for a little longer, break the grand Formation, and scatter, no one could guarantee that they would be able to keep them.

"Rumble!"

Liu Lian and their second attack struck, causing the world to change color. Streams of brilliant light, like a pouring celestial river, descended, and the terrifying pressure crushed the island below.

"Pfft!"

"Bang!"

In the second wave of attack, five Ren Zi Offering were instantly killed, and one Earth-Rank Guardian was severely wounded.

Before they could even catch their breath, the third wave of attack arrived.

"No!"

Watching the sky-obscuring attack descend upon them like a collapsing heaven.

Feelings of powerlessness and despair spread through their hearts. Fortunately, these emotions did not last too long, as they had already perished, unable to withstand the terrifying and peerless attack.
