Chapter 863: Attacked

Once Ou Yangming and his companions cleaned everything up, they continued forward.

The fallen leaves beneath them had decayed, and the drifting dead Qi in the sky became richer. The forest was dark, and it was quiet everywhere.

“Younger Brother Tianrui, we’ve already left the Forest of Death’s periphery, so we must be more careful.” Xue Boren had a grave look on his face. If he had not witnessed Ou Yangming slaughtering a top-grade ferocious beast with his formation, given the young fellow’s cultivation base, he would have thought thrice about entering the depths of the forest. This was because in the elder’s words, the forest had many hidden secrets and dangers, and it could not be explored by someone of his rank.

Xue Xuanle followed behind Ou Yangming like the most gorgeous red flower in summer and was extremely dazzling. She looked at the young fellow with gentle eyes and vaguely had a special feeling inside her heart.

As the 3 of them continued with their journey, Ou Yangming was suddenly moved. He glanced at a left area ahead half-intentionally but immediately looked away and continued to walk calmly.

After a brief moment, a light flashed in that direction. An intense sword-light appeared out of the blue to slash Xue Xuanle’s head, and it carried a penetrating chill. It looked like a bolt of white lightning that zoomed from the sky as it was incredibly fast.

Concurrently, a cold voice was heard coming from deep inside the forest. “Get down!”

The sword locked on to Xue Xuanle’s Qi momentum, by which she could not use her body technique nor skills and could only face it head-on.

When the sword-light suppressed Xue Xuanle, her mind trembled, and she felt like her soul had been frozen. She could not react to the situation at all.

Nonetheless, Ou Yangming roared and turned his wrist to retrieve a spear from his interspatial bag. The spear was not like the Blood Condensation Spear, but it was unordinary. As the young fellow clutched his weapon hard and lifted his right arm, he brushed it across the sky and released a domineering path intent from his body.

He gave off a valiant aura as if he could destroy anything in the world with his spear.

This was a tyrannical belief where he could slash anything on 3 mountains and 10 seas—this was a powerhouse’s heart.

Spear shadows overlapped and rushed into the sky like a vicious tiger coming out of a mountain or a dragon emerging from the sea.

When the sword-light and spear shadows clashed, it looked like fire and snow had come into contact with each other. Consequently, the sword-light was defeated and scattered in the sky. It would be fine if that was all, but the spear shadows did not stop as they instantly reversed to where the sword-light came from.

Xue Xuanle finally came back to her senses. She quietly glanced at Ou Yangming as though she was infatuated, and she felt at ease.

In the dark, 2 men in luxurious clothes looked at each other and were surprised.

The older man pressed his arm down. A fleeting cold light appeared on his longsword, then the sword-light was released as if the sword was attacked from his heart.

Once again, the spear shadows and the sword-light clashed. After being in a deadlock situation for a brief moment, the violent spear shadows faded away like frosts.

The men in luxurious clothes clapped their hands and walked out slowly. “Not bad—no wonder you could kill Teng Xiaoyun. Heh, an Advanced Spiritualist and 2 Rudimentary Spiritualists, one of whom can black my sword. Not bad indeed.”

They were 2 burly men, and they each held a 1-meter-long longsword. They looked quite similar, but they were hideous as their faces were covered with packs.

Xue Boren furrowed his eyebrows. After pondering for some time, his pupils shrunk inward as he exclaimed, “You’re Teng Mingze and Teng Mingxu—the 2 brothers?”

A bloodthirst look could be seen in Teng Mingze’s eyes, but it disappeared after a split second. He was surprised. “I didn’t think that the Xue family has anyone with a great eye, but it doesn’t matter. Once we kill them later, everything will be clean.”

The brothers chatted with each other happily and did not bother about the 3 people in front of them at all. If they knew the young fellow that blocked their sword had once killed an Advanced Spiritualist in an instant, they would not be so calm.

Xue Boren looked bitter as he sighed and thought, ‘Brother Tianrui used his formation to kill a top-grade ferocious beast just now, but it was a ferocious beast without wisdom, after all. As for these 2 brothers, they’re skilled at cooperating with each other. The combined power of their swords can increase by more than 30%. I’m afraid that they can even exchange several blows with a top-grade Spiritualist. If we were to confront them head-on, we’ll have a slim chance of defeating them.’

He exhaled deeply and noted, “Younger Brother Tianrui, they’re skilled at the Joint Attack Art and won’t be easy opponents. Trap them with your formation first while we come up with a way!”

Ou Yangming responded calmly, “Senior, you’re right!”

Following that, as he turned his wrist, the Illusion Formation Boards flew out with the wind and scattered like the most splendid light streams.

Teng Mingze and Teng Mingxu exchanged glances and grinned. “A caster?”

They were not worried and were elated instead. “Let’s kill this old man from the Xue family first. This young lady has good looks, so she can be used as a child bearer. Look at how cold she looks—let’s see if she’ll beg for mercy if we put her on the bed! As for this young fella, he’ll surely be useful if we capture back to the clan,” Teng Mingxu spoke in a mocking tone.

Xue Xuanle was infuriated when she heard what they said, but she gritted her teeth without saying a word.

Upon seeing this, the 2 brothers from the Teng family became more presumptuous, and they clapped while they laughed. They were not bothered about the formation boards at all, and they thought, ‘He’s just a young fella. Even if he started learning formations as soon as he was born, how high can his level of attainment be?’

Ou Yangming’s face turned cold, and he sneered. “You’re courting death!” He did not expect them to be so arrogant and simply ignored him, hence he decided that he would definitely make them regret this.

The young fellow was not aware that the people from the Teng family were used to being domineering in Donglin City, where they treated everything and everyone lightly.

Furthermore, the most important reason was Ou Yangming was too young indeed. Given that he was in his early twenties, he would have just started learning rune nodes, which was why the 2 brothers from the Teng family were so careless.

The tadpole-like runes on the Illusion Formation Boards danced and emitted bright light threads that connected and formed a net.

“Woosh, woosh…”

Ou Yangming focused and pushed his right hand down. Subsequently, the Illusion Formation Boards scattered like light streams and enveloped a 1 to 1.3 kilometers area. If one looked from far, one would see a black curtain, which was formed from intersecting rune nodes, falling from the sky.

The brothers from the Teng family were not in a hurry at all. They kept watching with smiles, and Teng Mingze even asked, “Young Brother, why don’t you appreciate how I’ll break the formation with my sword?”

“Big Brother, I’ve always envied your skills,” Teng Mingxu responded with respect and gestured to his older brother to go ahead.

At this moment, the Illusion Formation had been completely laid out, by which the feeling of the universe spinning hit their heads. They felt their heads become heavier while their cells screamed. It was very uncomfortable, but they could not break free at all. By the time they opened their eyes again, they had entered a white world.

Mists drifted amidst the dim environment, and soft snowflakes fell from the sky. The universe was dark and cold.

When the cold winds blew, Teng Mingxu froze and breathed out some cold air. “Elder Brother, why doesn’t this feel right? It’s too cold!” The hair on his temples was covered in frost by the time he was done talking.

Teng Mingze brushed 2 of his fingers across his longsword, causing his weapon to ring. He turned to look at his young brother and comforted him confidently, “Young Brother, don’t be startled. Watch me lift my sword and break the formation.”

Before Teng Mingze’s voice was gone, the spiritual Qi inside his dantian surged, and his Qi momentum was continuous. His spiritual Qi flowed into his longsword through his meridians, resulting in striking green lights to flash on it. The man then raised his sword at the sky, where sword-lights burst out and spread at lightning speed. Wind and thunder could vaguely be heard in the air during the process. The sword-lights then transformed into a savage tiger with teeth as sharp as sabers, and it charged at the sky with a majestic momentum.

Teng Mingxu’s eyes lit up as he thought, ‘No wonder Older Brother’s confident about breaking the formation. Turns out that he has cultivated the Air-striking Ferocious Tiger such that he could perform it with ease.

Inside the formation, Teng Mingze was proud and certain that he could shatter the formation with his sword.

This sword had not only represented how he advanced courageously in martial arts, but he also put in all of his energy, essence, and spirit. In a way, this was the most stunning attack that he had made with his sword as an Advanced Spiritualist.

The sword-lights surged violently and grew with the wind as if they were going to pierce the sky.

“Crack!” A soft sound was heard when the sword-lights and canopy of the heavens connected. Subtle ripples were seen in the sky.

The ferocious beast that was formed from sword-lights disappeared right away without a sound nor color.

Teng Mingze was dazed, and he could not think about anything else other than when his sword dispersed just now.

He came back to his senses after 10 over breaths, and he stammered, “H-how’s that pos-possible? He’s only in his early twenties, so how can he have such a cultivation base in formations?” The luster in his eyes vanished, which was evident how shocked he was.

Teng Minxu opened his mouth and widened his eyes. Monstrous waves were surging in his heart. ‘The Air-striking Ferocious Tiger’s considered one of the top skills in the Teng family, but it wasn’t effective at all. What exactly is this formation?’

He forced himself to suppress his fear, and a bloodthirst look could be seen in his eyes. As the man grabbed his longsword tightly, the spiritual Qi inside his dantian boiled. Quickly after, an intense light was released and enveloped him. He waved his sleeve and swung at the air, then his longsword danced up and down like a dragon that was charging at the sky.

However, the exceptionally fierce sword had only dispersed the falling snowflakes in the air, where its sword-lights disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The 2 brothers stared at each other in despair, and they felt like they had fallen into an icehouse. Especially when they recalled how they underestimated the young fellow just now, they felt like they had just been slapped hard in their faces.

Inside the formation, Ou Yangming had entered the integration of Heaven and man, as well as the thoroughly meticulous state. He released his mental power like an overbearing ruler, and he scanned the ground with his seemingly vague aura.

Xue Xuanle’s lips parted slightly when she looked at the 2 Advanced Spiritualists that were trapped inside the Illusion Formation. She was taken aback, which made her look 70% sexy and 30% adorable. It was clear that her eyes were gleaming when she looked at Ou Yangming after that.

On the other hand, Xue Boren was knowledgeable, but he also looked shocked.

Waves were undulating inside his heart, and he could not calm down anymore. In fact, his body began to tremble. The elder became more certain that the young fellow was the Xue family’s opportunity. If they could seize this chance, the Xue family would be able to rise again and even advance further.
