Even Xie Daoyun, who was proficient in formations, felt a sense of admiration. As the emperor's personal guards, the Imperial Guards naturally possessed top-notch formation skills. This was because those capable of threatening the emperor's safety were usually people with extremely high cultivation levels, so the formations focused on defending against very powerful attacks.
However, there are advantages and disadvantages. Although the attack power that can be defended in a single attack is very high, each defense will consume a lot of resources.
This monk, though seemingly rough, was actually quite astute. He discerned the weakness in their formation from his subordinates' earlier attacks and launched a targeted counterattack.
As expected, the stones, like a shower of flowers from a celestial maiden, continuously struck the Imperial Guard's defensive formation. Soon, many Imperial Guards turned pale; the energy expenditure was simply too great.
Wang Bolin and Zhang Zijiang were both shocked and furious. They tried to stop them, but could only stop a portion of them. It was too late.
Seeing that the army formation was about to collapse, and that once it was breached, these hundred men would likely be quickly divided, surrounded, and slaughtered.
The two acted decisively, charging directly at the large monk. He had just thrown out half a mountain peak and used so many fancy tricks, so he must be in a weakened state. If they could capture the leader first, the rebels would likely collapse immediately.
To their surprise, the monk stood still without flinching or dodging, showing no fear whatsoever.
Both men were suspicious, but with the die already cast, they had no choice but to charge at each other, though they both held back some of their strength in case of unforeseen circumstances.
Just then, a scarred face emerged from behind the monk, a cruel smile playing on his lips. Then, a flash of cold light appeared, and Wang and Zhang felt the hairs on their bodies stand on end.
Fortunately, the two still had some strength left, and hurriedly swung their weapons to defend themselves. With a crisp sound, both of their weapons were shattered, and a cloud of blood mist appeared on their chests. The two were sent flying back.
Xie Daoyun quickly formed a hand seal, and a gentle force blocked the two behind her, helping them to absorb much of the impact.
The two men barely managed to stand, and looked down at their shattered armor and breastplates. They were both horrified. As deputy generals of the Imperial Guard, their armor was naturally top-of-the-line, especially their breastplates, which were theoretically capable of withstanding a full-force attack from a ninth-rank expert. Yet now, their breastplates and armor had been shattered by a single blow from their opponent.
"You're a Grandmaster?" The two men's eyes were filled with both fear and confusion. Even in the imperial court, a Grandmaster was enough to be a regional lord. Why would he be so foolish as to join the rebel army?
Xie Daoyun's face turned deathly pale. She had already struggled to fight the monk, and now there was a grandmaster among them. Was she doomed?
