Chapter 43: The Demon-Subduing Four Cardinal Directions Formation

  Du Fei rushed to the location of Li Zhen and his group at an extremely fast speed, with Jin Kou Bao Lei Ya following closely behind him. Sometimes, when he was a little ahead of Du Fei, he would launch a Thunderbolt attack, making Du Fei not dare to slack off. After flying for almost half a time unit, Du Fei finally arrived at the location where Li Zhen's students were.

  At this time some students sat together chatting and laughing, twenty-five young people, who were also the future forces cultivated by those five people for Mo Tu Zong.

  Suddenly a loud shout came, and everyone looked up at the sky, only to see that someone was being chased by a huge crow in the sky. The person being chased was getting closer and closer to where they were standing. Before anyone could figure out what was happening, Du Fei had already landed on the ground. Everyone stared at Du Fei in shock, a young man about their age who could fly through the air. At this time, envious glances kept looking towards Du Fei, but then a small woman's voice came: "It's him, I recognize him, don't let him get away, he's the one who ambushed us that day." Everyone was confused and looked at each other in confusion, but soon the crowd surrounded Du Fei. Seeing everyone surrounding him, Du Fei calmly said: "Everyone be careful."

  At this time, the Golden Beak Thunder Crow had already discovered Du Fei's location. Seeing that Du Fei was not moving on the ground, the Golden Crow hovered in mid-air, flapping its wings fiercely, opening its large beak and shooting a powerful electric current at Du Fei on the ground. Du Fei seemed to have known this would happen all along, suddenly jumping up and escaping from the encirclement of the crowd, flying away. However, the crowd that had been attracted by Du Fei couldn't disperse in time, only staring blankly as Du Fei flew up again. Some alert people discovered something was wrong, at which point the thunderbolt had already struck. "Boom boom" explosions erupted everywhere, blasting the people on the scene to fall to the ground, cries of pain filling the air. Fortunately, these students were cultivators with excellent physical quality, so there were no deaths, only some students who were closer to the explosion point being more seriously injured, several students now lying on the ground in agony, blood flowing from their bodies. Other students with lighter injuries immediately got up and prepared for battle, while some students helped those with heavier injuries to a safe place.

  The Golden Beak Thunder Crow saw a large crowd of people on the ground and let out a frantic screech, because the Yuan Beast had always been extremely disliked by humans, and now there was a large group of people in front of it. The Golden Beak Thunder Crow was abnormally enraged and no longer targeted Du Fei alone, attacking anyone it saw, with each attack more ferocious than before. The entire small forest was filled with wails and explosions, some brave students dared to fight back, while the injured students could only hide. The scene was chaotic, but the mastermind behind the whole event, Du Fei, had long since escaped.

  Yang Sen and others heard the explosion sound from the small forest, also shocked. Just as they were about to rush back, a student suddenly appeared in front of them, covered in bloodstains. Seeing Yang Sen and others, he couldn't help but burst into tears, crying: "Teacher, you must... go take a look, something big has happened." Yang Sen was startled when he saw his own student, saying: "Don't be in a hurry, what's wrong?" The student who came to report the news was now sobbing uncontrollably on the ground, pointing at the small forest with a painful expression, clearly experiencing this kind of dangerous scene for the first time.

  Yang Sen and the others quickly rushed to the small forest, only to see the Golden Beak Thunder Crow in the sky launching a fierce thunder attack on the students on the ground. The master brothers quickly dispersed their students, and at this time, two or three students had already lost their lives after being hit, their bodies blown beyond recognition. Li Zhen saw the dead bodies on the ground and was furious, shouting: "I'm going to kill you!" He immediately flew into the sky and launched a fierce martial arts attack on the Golden Beak Thunder Crow. The others, after dispersing the students, also flew into the sky and surrounded the Golden Beak Thunder Crow, their anger unrelenting. The Golden Beak Thunder Crow saw that everyone had flown up to surround it and stopped its attack, letting out a long, fearless cry: "Hmph!" It was unclear who initiated the attack first, but when the Golden Beak Thunder Crow saw that its opponent was attacking it, it counterattacked, and the two sides began fighting.

  Dufy returned to the forest where Jin Zui Bao Lei Ya was earlier to find another helper.

  "Haha, this time you few old turtles don't have the good luck as last time, I'll see if you can withstand a mid-level Yuan Beast." Du Fei said with some complacency.

  In the search of the wordless heavenly book, another flying beast was found, named (Blazing Bird), its strength is slightly lower than that of the Golden Beak Thunder Crow, but it still belongs to a mid-to-high level yuan beast, with fire elements. Du Fei once again brought this Blazing Bird to the small forest from earlier...

  At this point, the battle situation had entered a critical state. Although Jin Wu Bao Lei Ya's strength was much stronger than that of the crowd, two fists were hard to defeat four legs. Under the joint efforts of Li Zhen and his five men, Jin Wu Bao Lei Ya did not gain much advantage either. The two sides were now fighting a difficult battle, and Jin Wu Bao Lei Ya's blood was thoroughly stirred up by several people. The power of the elemental attack used was also exceptionally fierce. However, the arrival of Du Fei's Lietian Bird completely changed the gap in strength between the two sides. Lietian Bird and Jin Wu Bao Lei Ya were originally somewhat hostile to each other, but now they had become common enemies with humans. The two birds stood on the same side without saying a word, with a sense of unity against a common enemy. Li Zhen saw Du Fei not far in front of him at this time, but he didn't have much heart to pursue Du Fei anymore. The two big birds in front of them were already making it difficult for several people.

  "We're in trouble, what are we going to do now? These two birds are not easy to deal with. Brother Shi, we have to think of a way out, or else I'm afraid none of us will be able to escape from these two beasts alive." Li Zhen panted heavily and said.

  "It's no use, we can only activate the large formation now." Yang Sen said with some helplessness.

  "It's... Ah, there's no other way. All disciples prepare, activate the (Demon-Sealing Four-Directional Array)." Li Zhen also hesitated and said to everyone.

  "Huh, the Demon-Subduing Four-Square Formation they mentioned is quite formidable, right? I saw that several of them seemed reluctant to use it." Du Fei had not left far and was standing on a secluded tree, watching the scene in the sky.

  "This Demon-Suppressing Four-Directional Formation is a relatively formidable killing formation, with astonishing power. However, it also causes great harm to the person who sets up the formation. Generally, very few people use this formation method, as it can instantly increase the strength of the person setting up the formation by more than double. According to their strength, they can maintain it for about ten minutes, but once that time is over, the user will be exhausted and won't be able to recover within a month or two. Even after recovering, there are certain limitations on future development. This is indeed an inferior formation where one injures oneself by eight hundred points while harming the enemy by a thousand." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  "Oh, so that's how it is. Well, I'm glad to see you greedy turtles end up like this." Du Fei said with a cold smile.

  At this time, several people floated in the air, making the same gestures, even their movements were identical. Their actions changed from slow to fast, and they muttered some sort of incantation. As their movements became faster, a faint blue energy emanated from their bodies, surrounding them. However, Lava Bird and Golden Beak Thunder Crow did not give them time to set up an array, continuously launching elemental attacks at the group. Just as the flames and lightning were about to strike, a sudden surge of energy appeared near the group, deflecting the incoming elements. A layer of pale blue protective shield materialized in front of everyone, blocking the birds' attacks. The energy shield rippled with waves as the two birds continued to attack it.

  Du Fei was also shocked and asked: "Oh, what's going on? The protective shields in front of these guys are so powerful."

  "You think others wouldn't anticipate a sneak attack when they're setting up their formation? At the moment they start, the primordial energy within them has already been released and gathered together to form this protective barrier. Otherwise, if the formation isn't successful, one would become the enemy's target instead - who would be foolish enough to do that?" The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  "Oh, I see." Du Fei nodded in sudden understanding.

  At this moment, several people also stopped their murmurs and actions at the same time, and their palms simultaneously struck out to both sides, meeting the palms of the people next to them. The five people simultaneously let out a loud shout: "Start!" Suddenly, a blue light burst forth from nowhere on anyone's body. The students on the ground had never seen such an incredible formation before, and they all stared blankly at the scene in the sky with their eyes wide open, as if they were seeing a divine being. Even the two large birds stopped attacking due to the intense light.

  In the time it took for a few breaths, the blue light flashed and then dimmed. At this moment, the momentum of several people in the sky was completely different. The bodies of several people occasionally had a faint yellow glow, each person looked spirited and stood in a row, their hair fluttering in the wind, looking very good. Yang Sen flew out of line slightly, his right hand pointing at the two birds: "You two beasts, today is your day of death, accept your fate."

  As soon as Yang Sen finished speaking, the several people behind him also shouted in unison: "Ah." One by one, they rushed towards the location of the two large birds.

  "The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote: 'Now, the true battle has officially begun...'"
