Chapter 426 - The Birds Formation
Chapter 426 The Birds Formation
Multi-armed King Kong ignored Big Yellow’s barks. It looked coldly at the goshawk.
It knew Ou Yangming had high combat power, unlike ordinary human cultivators, so he would be unlikely to die from the goshawk’s sneak attack even if the big yellow dog and it were not there to protect him.
Nonetheless, knowing was one thing, the real situation was another thing.
If Ou Yangming actually suffered misfortune, Multi-armed King Kong could not imagine how it would end. It could not survive for sure because of the soul contract.
Multi-armed King Kong’s attitude toward the fight between the Humans and the Birds was previously ambiguous, but it had an entirely different standpoint now. It stood up straight and struck its chest with all eight of its arms, then it let out an earth-shattering roar. “Roar…”
The sound spread far and wide, and everyone could tell that it had gone extremely mad. Multi-armed King Kong leaped up to the sky in a flash.
The goshawk flapped its wings quickly and soared faster than Multi-armed King Kong coming for it.
It dared not get close to King Kong no matter what. Nevertheless, it was very confident about its abilities, so it was sure the enraged King Kong could not touch it at all. Even if King Kong performed unique and powerful skills, the goshawk was certain it could deal with them.
Having said that, the goshawk widened its eyes next.
It noticed that Multi-armed King Kong did not pursue it but jumped straight into the city.
Given Multi-armed King Kong’s build, the city would be damaged if it went inside. Despite that, it was well-prepared before it jumped inside, by which it landed on two main streets. Although the streets ended up in states too ghastly to look at, at the very least, nobody was harmed.
At the same time, Multi-armed King Kong swung its arms in the sky. Each time it waved them, there would be great bloodshed.
Multi-armed King Kong did not attack the ordinary birds previously, but it could not be bothered anymore because the goshawk attempted to kill Ou Yangming. ‘If you want to kill me, I’ll kill you first! If I can’t kill you, I’ll kill your followers!
The giant spirit beast displayed its strong will through its actions.
Once the massive creature joined the war, the situation took a turn. No birds could resist its attack, so much so that even half-spirit beasts, which were somewhat equivalent to Supreme Great Ancestors, were weak against its indestructible arms and were crushed into meat pastes. Countless birds shrieked and tried to flee, but Multi-armed King Kong let out a thunderous roar at the sky with a savage look on its face.
Even though the people would be affected by the sound to a certain extent, in comparison, the birds suffered worse losses. In particular, the inadequate birds shuddered with fear and fell from the sky.
Multi-armed King Kong became quick-tempered as it attacked, so it rubbed its palms and caused sparks to be generated. All of a sudden, it raised its arms, releasing four large electric balls in different directions. Following that, the electric balls exploded in the air, forming an electric net with a circumference of several meters. Consequently, every bird trapped in the electric net was bombed, resulting in a bloody rain.
Ou Yangming and the others were struck dumb because they truly experienced the mightiness of a spirit beast.
In actuality, as they spent more time together with Multi-armed King Kong, it kept surprising them. Wu Hanning took a deep breath and remarked, “Brother Ou, I’m so glad that you’re here!”
The princess lamented for the second time. If the Humans had to slaughter Multi-armed King Kong, nobody knew what it would cost. Most likely, it could not be eliminated even after the people gave their all.
“Shriek…”
The goshawk’s sudden cry filled Heaven and Earth. Upon hearing it, the birds, which were still fighting the humans from above the city, immediately rose higher into the sky.
“Walking beast, you made me do this!” The goshawk yelled fiercely.
It sounded mournful, but it spoke loudly with anger.
Multi-armed King Kong raised all eight of its arms and roared at the sky. It wondered, ‘Regardless of your tricks, I’ll deal with them.’
Subsequently, the goshawk let out piercing cries, and it slowly cried louder and more frequently. As it cried, the birds in the sky underwent odd changes. They flew in different directions but did not go far away; they hovered around an invisible circle.
Eventually, the birds circled in an orderly manner. If the people looked up from the ground, they would notice densely packed birds of different sizes forming a gigantic circular pattern under the goshawk’s command.
Inside the circle, there was a mysterious aura, which seemed to come from ancient times. The people felt like a big hill was being formed above them, and that it would be dropped at any time.
“Wh-what’s going on?” Below the spiraling birds, numerous people questioned in shock. Their eyes were filled with unimaginable fear.
This was not the first Humans’ disaster. Though the common folks knew nothing about it because the higher-ups kept it a secret from them all these while, the elites were familiar with it.
However, nothing as strange as this was ever recorded in Feiya City’s history.
“This is the Birds Formation! Yes, it’s the Birds’ unique formation!” Wu Hanning had a grave look on her face. “But a bird has to at least be a high-rank spirit beast to be able to host the formation, and it needs to be assisted by many ordinary spirit beasts too. How can
it…”
Ou Yangming looked up and sensed a peculiar yet stable power above. “Equipment!”
“What?” Wu Hanning was surprised.
“This bird probably carries a piece of equipment, which can release a certain power to compensate for its shortcomings, allowing it to release the formation.” Ou Yangming exhaled deeply and continued, “I can sense the equipment’s aura, so I’m definitely not mistaken.”
“The equipment’s aura…”
Everyone else looked at each other and lamented.
If someone else had said that a piece of equipment had its aura, that person would have been ridiculed by many people. On the other hand, the people had unknowingly accepted the statement because it was Ou Yangming who said it. Besides, even if they could not notice the aura, they would never doubt the young fellow.
This was due to his abilities and status. Ever since he produced about 100 pieces of Skill Equipment, nobody dared to doubt him anymore.
“Shriek…”
The sky was filled with bird cries, and they were growing louder.
Moreover, the goshawk was not the only one crying because many birds joined it too.
It was worth noting that there was a strict hierarchy among the birds. When high-rank birds gave orders, low-rank birds could only obey them. That said, due to the power from a certain piece of equipment, every bird was obliged to contribute and had unknowingly cried as well.

Slowly but surely, when the formation in the sky took form, it released an unbelievable might.
Multi-armed King Kong finally looked grim. It rubbed its hands and released the thunderbolt power, but the power vanished into thin air when it got closer to the formation.
It was a formidable walking beast, after all, hence its physical power surpassed the thunderbolt power that it grasped.
If Multi-armed King Kong had a pair of wings and could fly toward the formation, it could at least crush the birds with its body. If it simply attacked with the thunderbolt power, it would be far from enough.
“Hehe, insignificant walking beast and humans, die!” As the goshawk spoke, a tornado was slowly formed beneath the formation.
The tornado was not huge at first. It seemed so tiny that it might disappear at any time. Nonetheless, it soon grew at an incredible speed.
It was because the overall power from the Birds Formation was continuously channeled into the tornado. The power was not only the accumulation from the birds but also the abundant universe’s spiritual power. Soon enough, the power gathered by the birds grew so much that it could not be resisted through normal means.
“Hehe, go to hell!”
When the tornado kept expanding and extended further, the whole city became seriously affected.
Innumerable unsecured things on the ground, as well as corpses and carcasses on the battlefield, were sucked to mid-air by the tornado’s power and entered the wind-gap. The wind-gap was like an enormous black hole, which could devour the entire world.
Multi-armed King Kong stood firm on the ground. After some time, it leaped out of the city and shouted at Ou Yangming, “Master, quickly leave!”
Ou Yangming’s face changed. “What?”
“This is one of their greatest formations, and I can’t resist it, but I can protect you so that you can leave safely!” Multi-armed King Kong responded without any hesitation. “Boom, boom, boom…”
Several explosions were heard in the sky. When the tornado became more forceful, some substandard houses were even blown away.
The frightened folks escaped from their houses, but they could not resist the tornado and ended up being sucked into it as well.
With that, the whole city seemed to have turned into hell on earth. Nobody could stay out of the horrible situation anymore.
Many Supreme Great Ancestors from Feiya City exchanged glances but were helpless. Faced with the mighty power, which had not been seen before, they began to lose hope.
Ou Yangming took a deep breath and looked at the growing tornado in the sky. For some reason, the Military Fire in his sea of consciousness became simulated at this moment. An intense rage, which seemed to have come from deep inside an unknown space, filled his mind.
It felt like an emperor was being offended by common folk, but it also felt like a potent figure was suddenly bitten by an ant and became infuriated. The feeling seemed to have been roused in the moment, but it also seemed like it was predestined.
Suddenly, Ou Yangming reached out his hand. He seemed to have spaced out as he pointed at the tornado.
