Because they both value each other highly, they are extremely cautious, trying to force the other to reveal a weakness first. As long as the other party reveals a weakness first, the other can seize the initiative and gain the upper hand.
Just as Wang Hao and Yin Yi were facing off, the combined attack formation of Yan Bing, Li Bo, Yan Qin, and Qing Ran clashed with the Thousand Blade Star Formation formed by 236 black market warriors.
Among the 236 black market warriors, there were 18 experts at the early stage of the Heaven Realm, and the rest were all at the Great Perfection of the Earth Realm.
With so many powerful individuals gathered together, two hundred and thirty-six pillars of light immediately shot out from the formation, and everyone's power seemed to converge towards the center of the pillars.
"Thousand Blade Waterfall Wind!"
Within the Thousand Blade Star Formation, two hundred and thirty-six black market warriors roared simultaneously, continuously channeling their true energy into the formation's jade stones. The formation's patterns converged, condensing into thousands upon thousands of energy blades.
Some of these energy blades were over ten zhang long, like waves of blades; others were only three inches long, like a white flying knife. All the energy blades converged together, forming a river of blades, and slashed towards Yan Bing and his companions.
Yan Bing stood at the center of the formation, holding a golden dagger. With the combined strength of the four people, he fully activated the array patterns within the golden dagger.
"break!"
He raised both arms and swung them suddenly.
The golden dagger transformed into a giant blade tens of feet long, cleaving through the river of blades and breaking through the attack of the Thousand Blade Star Array.
Li Bo was overjoyed and said, "Continue the attack and tear the great formation apart."
Yan Bing, Li Bo, Yan Qin, and Qing Ran are all considered top-tier experts among the Heavenly Realm warriors, each comparable to the level of Jin Chuan.
The four of them formed a flat, round formation, like a giant millstone, that kept spinning as it crashed into the Thousand Blade Star Formation.
"Whoosh!"
Yan Bing continuously slashed with his golden short sword, unleashing the full power of this top-tier spiritual weapon.
The black market warriors in the Thousand Blade Star Formation were no weaklings either; each one was a master, constantly unleashing bursts of qi blades, engaging in a fierce battle with Yan Bing and his group of four.
Wang Hao and Yin Yi were also quite nervous, as the outcome of the battle between the black market martial artist and Yan Bing and the other three would affect their final showdown.
If the Thousand Blade Star Formation breaks the combined attack formation set up by Yan Bing and the other three, then the black market warriors will continue to rush over to help Yin Yi and suppress Wang Hao.
If the combined attack formation set up by Yan Bing and the other three breaks the Thousand Blade Star Luo Formation, then the four of them, including Qing Ran and Xia Xiaoyi, will rush back to help Wang Hao and surround and kill Yin Yi.
Therefore, the head-on collision between those two formations could very well determine the life or death of both sides.
"boom!"
A moment later, a loud bang came from the area where the two formations were located.
Under the relentless attacks of Yan Bing, Li Bo, Yan Qin, and Qing Ran, the Thousand Blade Star Formation finally shattered, and the black market warriors were sent flying backward.
Of the 236 black market warriors, at least 20 were killed by the golden dagger wielded by Yan Bing the moment the formation shattered, their bodies torn into pieces by the blade energy.
After the formation was broken, Yan Bing, Li Bo, Qing Ran, and Yan Qin immediately rushed out, unleashing a series of martial arts techniques to clear out the black market warriors and prevent them from continuing to gather together to set up formations.
No one expected that Wang Hao and his group would be so powerful, each of them a remarkable expert. In just a short while, they resolved the killing trap that Yin Yi had carefully set up.
Just like each one of them is an unparalleled genius from the Holy Academy.
Seeing the Thousand Blade Star Formation broken, Yin Yi's heart sank, and he cursed it inwardly as utter trash. A formation composed of over two hundred martial artists couldn't even stop four people. What else could it be but trash?
Now, Yin Yi was completely on the defensive.
They had already laid a trap, intending to easily eliminate the students from the six academies, but unexpectedly, Wang Hao broke the trap with ease.
Without the formation, the black market warriors were completely powerless against Yan Bing and his group.
In just a quarter of an hour, nearly a hundred corpses of black market warriors were left on the open ground below the hill.
The river turned blood red, its bottom littered with mutilated corpses and severed limbs, transforming into a terrifying, hellish world. Anyone with a weak constitution would have fainted at the sight.
Wang Hao keenly sensed that Yin Yi's mentality was fluctuating. In that instant, Wang Hao rushed over and reached Yin Yi in a flash, slashing at Yin Yi's legs with his sword.
They came so fast.
Knowing he had lost the initiative, Yin Yi did not confront Wang Hao head-on, but decisively retreated to avoid the sword strike.
"Whoosh!"
Wang Hao followed up with a series of attacks, taking three steps forward and unleashing another sword strike aimed at Yin Yi's neck.
Yin Yi stretched out his claws and blocked forward.
"Bang!"
The Yin-Yang Xuan Iron sword core, weighing nearly seven thousand catties, struck the gauntlet, sending Yin Yi flying backward.
If Yin Yi wants to change his disadvantage, he must fight back.
"Ghost King's Seal".
Yin Yi clenched his middle finger, forming a hand seal, and then unleashed a claw strike, creating a four-meter-long black claw mark that hurtled towards Wang Hao.
The claw mark didn't look like a human hand; it looked like a dragon's claw, a ghost's hand, or a demon's hand.
This is a move from the claws of the Hell Demon King!
A point of light appeared between Wang Hao's brows, and the sword intent heart in his dantian continued to rotate, releasing a surge of sword intent power to control the Yin-Yang Profound Iron Sword Embryo.
"Break!"
Wang Hao joined his index and middle fingers together, forming a sword gesture.
The Yin-Yang Profound Iron Sword Embryo transformed into a beam of light, flying out and traversing a distance of ten zhang, piercing through the black claw and stabbing towards Yin Yi's chest.
"Innate demonic energy."
Yin Yi stood still, his hands supporting him, and a ball of black demonic energy surged from his pores, forming a spherical demonic domain with a diameter of ten zhang.
From a distance, it looked as if a giant black sphere enveloped Yin Yi's body. The surface of the black sphere was covered with strange demonic patterns, constantly rotating and emitting a whistling sound.
"Whoosh!"
When the Yin-Yang Profound Iron Sword Embryo came into contact with the Heavenly Demon Domain, it was like rushing into a swamp, its speed constantly slowing down.
The Yin-Yang Profound Iron Sword Embryo floated in the demonic energy, its body constantly rotating and emitting a piercing sword cry, breaking through Yin Yi's Heavenly Demon Domain step by step.
The two forces clashed, creating streaks of flame in the water.
Yin Yi cultivated the "Heavenly Demon Primordial Diagram" from the ancient "Heavenly Demon Stone Carvings". When he reached the Heavenly Realm, he had already transformed the true energy in his body into "Primordial Demonic Energy".
The so-called "innate demonic energy" actually still falls under the category of true energy.
However, the innate demonic energy is several times more powerful than the true energy of other martial artists of the same level. Once released, it can easily crush the opponent.
Only martial artists who cultivate extremely advanced techniques can develop even more powerful true qi.
