Chapter 772 Young General
Chapter 772 Young General
After many days of preparation, the Four Symbols Heavenly Demon Formation was finally activated. Countless array symbols that Ye Kang had buried underground simultaneously emitted light, connecting with each other to form a magnificent array.
The dragon's roar swept away all the demons and monsters, and the Azure Dragon flew down from the clouds, opening its mouth to spew out white waves of cloud.
Hu Gang squinted, realizing he had fallen into a trap.
This kid deliberately fled here; he clearly set up a trap to deal with me long ago.
However, it would be too naive to think that a mere formation could stop them.
His cultivation level of Nine Luminaries was beyond his comprehension!
"Tail wag!"
Hu Gang shouted, and nine phantom tails appeared behind him. With a dragon's tail swing, the phantom tails blasted out, smashing down like a giant hammer.
The cloud waves spewed out by the Azure Dragon were instantly shattered, and the phantom tail continued its sweeping momentum, unsurprisingly throwing the Azure Dragon around the waist.
A mournful cry rang out as the Azure Dragon landed, rolling out in boundless dust.
Ye Kang twitched his fingers slightly, and immediately a roar of a tiger echoed from behind Hu Gang. The white tiger's claws suddenly pounced out, heading straight for Hu Gang's back.
The latter curled his lips into a smile, and with incredible agility, Phantom Tail swung around again.
Even the White Tiger's massive body couldn't withstand this attack, and it was sent flying far away.
Ye Kang remained calm and unmoved. The so-called formation relies on the continuous flow of spiritual energy to deplete the opponent's strength.
It all boils down to one word: perseverance!
With a thought, Xuanwu rose from the ground and crashed into Hu Gang with its mountain-like body. Hu Gang, however, did not care at all. He pushed out with one hand and easily blocked Xuanwu in place, and they began to fight!
The fox demon's physical body was weaker than that of ordinary demons, but his cultivation made up for it. Countless demonic energies rose from Hu Gang's body, and the nine phantom tails behind him rose high and grew larger and larger. With a lash of his tail whip, the Xuanwu's heavy body actually turned upside down on the spot.
Ye Kang remained unmoved. The Azure Dragon and White Tiger charged out again, attacking Hu Gang from both sides. However, the latter's phantom tail was even more agile than his hands, responding with tremendous force. The four divine beasts could not get close at all.
On the contrary, Ye Kang had already exhausted the spirit crystals needed to maintain the formation, so he could only loudly ask Jiang Yi for help.
"Senior! Quickly send me some spirit crystals! I need to maintain the formation! Otherwise, if the fox demon breaks into Lingyun Town, everything will be over!"
Jiang Yi frowned, partly because she was amazed by Ye Kang's mastery of formations.
Surprisingly, this guy was actually able to block the Nine Luminaries Fox Demon's attack.
On the other hand, she was even more speechless. Why didn't you say you didn't have any spirit crystals?
She immediately threw all the spirit crystals she had at Ye Kang. These were necessary losses for carrying out the mission, and she could apply to the Three Departments for compensation in the future, so she didn't feel bad about it.
Unexpectedly, Ye Kang shouted angrily, "Not enough!"
Jiang Yi gritted her teeth and could only look at the group of constables and hunters from Lingyun Town behind her.
"Immediately send reinforcements to Lingjing! This is to protect Lingyun Town!"
Everyone stared at each other, clearly aware of the situation. If they didn't invest heavily now, the Nine Luminaries Fox Demon might actually get in!
Compared to spirit crystals, life and home are more important.
Therefore, without saying much, they immediately mobilized all the townspeople, especially the wealthy families in the town, to throw out spirit crystals.
With a thought, Ye Kang gathered the spirit crystals with his true energy and poured them all into the formation.
The aura of the Four Symbols Heavenly Demon Formation surged, and a phoenix cry resounded through the clouds.
Hu Gang, who was entangled with the three divine beasts, looked up in astonishment and saw a fiery phoenix spreading across the plains, an unstoppable red figure spreading its wings and covering the sky.
Flames soared, crimson clouds rolled in, and the Vermilion Bird of the South let out a high-pitched, sharp cry, showering down countless fiery rains.
"Finally, something worth watching."
Hu Gang snorted coldly, and his phantom tail suddenly shot out towards the sky, piercing through the Vermilion Bird's body like a steel needle.
However, the Vermilion Bird was completely unaffected. Instead, it activated its divine fire, attaching and burning the Illusionary Tail, and the flames transformed into tongues of fire that surged downwards.
Hu Gang frowned, and with a sudden flick of his tail, he severed the Vermilion Bird in two at the waist. However, a burst of flames caused the two severed pieces of the body to heal instantly and become whole again.
The Vermilion Bird of the South possesses high attack and high health, and most importantly, it has the Nirvana technique, making it completely unafraid of mere physical injuries.
Hu Gang gritted his teeth, finding the bird extremely annoying, and was about to fly over and slash it.
However, the remaining three divine beasts would not give him this chance and immediately pounced on him again, launching attack after attack, entangling all of Hu Gang's phantom tails.
The latter became flustered and increasingly impatient.
"Human! You are provoking me. I had no intention of killing anyone. If you return my belongings, I can pretend none of this ever happened!"
Hu Gang's voice resounded throughout the entire formation.
Ye Kang remained calm and simply said, "The item is in my hands. If you want it, just come and take it."
"you wanna die!"
"I……"
Just as Ye Kang was about to make a sarcastic remark, a figure suddenly flew in from the horizon, causing Ye Kang's pupils to shrink sharply.
Jiang Yi, whose face was pale, immediately looked over, her eyes widening in surprise.
"That is……!"
Just as Hu Gang was about to use his ultimate move to break the deadlock, he suddenly felt an incredibly terrifying aura descend upon him, and his back instantly went cold, and he dared not move again.
A lazy voice drifted over: "Who's looking for death?"
The voice sounded like that of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, still somewhat immature, yet languid with a domineering and decisive quality.
Ye Kang narrowed his eyes and gradually made out the flying figure.
He was indeed a fair-skinned young man with short hair and a face as white as a child's. He carried a giant, round axe on his back, which he held in both hands and was taller and wider than others.
At this moment, he dared to disregard the flight altitude limit, stepping on a pair of rapidly spinning rings, and in an instant arrived above the Four Symbols Heavenly Demon Formation.
"Your humble servant Jiang Yi greets General Su!"
"General!"
Ye Kang was dumbfounded. This boy, who was even younger than himself, was a general?
What general?
Seeing Ye Kang's surprise, the young man waved his hand dismissively: "Hey you, take down the formation."
Ye Kang did not hesitate and immediately withdrew from the formation.
Although I don't know who the other person is, all I need to know is that he is a Nirvana master.
With people like this, there's no need to use formations at all.
Sure enough, Hu Gang seemed to recognize the young man as well. He gritted his teeth and whispered, "Su Wuxiang..."
"How dare you call me Su Wuxiang? People of Fox Mountain, do you not understand the difference between superiors and inferiors?"
The young man glanced up, and Hu Gang, who had been extremely arrogant just moments before, immediately trembled and lowered his head, saying, "Senior, you misunderstand. I am a descendant of the seventeenth ancestor of Fox Mountain. I was merely surprised by the general's appearance and had no intention of being disrespectful."
"You're smart enough to leave now. Take your clansmen with you. I'll spare you this time because of your great-uncle. But if you dare set foot in Lingquan County again, you'll be executed."
Su Wuxiang waved his hand again, his tone still indifferent and uncaring.
Hu Gang dared not disobey in the slightest. He cupped his hands in a fist salute, and Jiang Yi released all the fox demons she had captured. The group of foxes did not dare to utter a word and immediately slunk away.
This scene took less than twenty breaths.
