Chapter 1726 - 1727: Eight Desolate Vermilion Bird Formation
The five elders of the Zhou family who had just rushed out, in the blink of an eye, were reduced to just the Fifth Elder holding a stick.
Just as Lin Chen's sword light flashed, he felt a strong sense of crisis.
So he didn't even think about retreating in panic like the other three.
Instead, he charged forward against the alien flame.
The stick in the Fifth Elder's hand swung swiftly, forming an impenetrable barrier.
Clang! Clang!
The sword lights were dispersed by his stick.
Golden fire chains continuously appeared on the stick.
And he actually carved a bloody path.
Breaking free from the constraints of the sword net, he leaped into the air.
The stick in his hand smashed down directly, head-on.
Boom!
The strike was powerful, landing heavily on Lin Chen.
Seeing this scene, the Zhou family and other sect masters all breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, they had taken down this kid.
But when the stick hit Lin Chen, the Fifth Elder's face changed.
Because he found that Lin Chen had disappeared.
An illusion!
"Watch out behind you," Zhou Guang's face changed as he shouted out.
However, before his voice fell, Lin Chen's blade had already risen and fallen.
"Crack!"
With a crisp sound, the Fifth Elder's head had been sliced off by Lin Chen's Tianyan Ancient Sword.
Blood splattered, and everyone's expressions became incredibly shocked.
"Such speed!" Everyone gasped.
Zhou Guang's face turned even more unsightly.
In the blink of an eye, the five elders of the Zhou family were completely wiped out.
Crash!
The head and body fell to the ground, splattering into a mass of bright red blood.
Suddenly, there was a silence surrounding Vermilion Bird City.
Everyone stared dumbfounded at this scene, knowing that five Immortal Emperors had been slain by Lin Chen in an instant.
The Zhou family's coalition army was now somewhat wary of Lin Chen.
The contempt and disdain in their eyes had long vanished without a trace.
Originally, they thought that with five Immortal Emperors, Lin Chen would be no match and would certainly die.
But in just the blink of an eye, five people had already died at Lin Chen's hands.
Moreover, Lin Chen seemed not to have exerted much effort.
A cold glint flashed in Zhou Guang's eyes; his son had been killed by Lin Chen, and now five elders were dead at Lin Chen's hands. Zhou Guang felt as if he was bleeding.
Especially the five elders, the cornerstone of the Zhou family, being killed by Lin Chen was like carving a chunk of flesh from their family.
Zhou Guang stared intently at Lin Chen, his eyes aflame with redness.
But more importantly, he was concerned about Vermilion Bird City in Lin Chen's hands.
Vermilion Bird City is a major city in the Immortal Realm. Capturing it would be worthwhile, even at the cost of five elders.
Zhou Guang resolved that no matter what, they must take Vermilion Bird City today.
Facing over three thousand martial artists alone, Lin Chen showed no sign of fear.
However, killing five people seemed not to have much effect in intimidating these martial artists.
Zhou Guang gritted his teeth and shouted to the coalition behind him, "Attack the city, and whoever captures Lin Chen will be rewarded with 20 million spirit stones."
In an instant, Zhou Guang doubled the reward.
This provoked the martial artists' ferocity even further.
The next moment, everyone surged forward collectively, like dense swarms of hornets, blotting out the sky and sweeping towards Vermilion Bird City.
At this moment, Lin Chen seemed like a lone boat on a stormy sea.
In everyone's eyes, Lin Chen was just like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
Eight Wastes Vermilion Bird Formation!
With an angry shout, Vermilion Bird City suddenly trembled.
In the next instant, dazzling halos appeared at the eight corners surrounding Vermilion Bird City.
These halos rapidly converged, forming a giant fire phoenix in the sky.
"Caw!"
With a phoenix's cry, an ancient force instantly enveloped the area surrounding Vermilion Bird City.
This is!
The faces of the three thousand martial artists instantly changed.
"A formation? You think you can stop us with just this formation, kid? How naive," Zhou Guang sneered and shouted, "Charge!"
In Zhou Guang's eyes, even with a formation, Lin Chen couldn't block his three thousand martial artists.
"Destroy his formation for me." Zhou Guang shouted angrily as attacks rained down on the Eight Wastes Vermilion Bird Formation.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Over three thousand martial artists attacked like a storm.
These attacks landed on the formation, causing ripples.
Watching this scene, a sneer appeared on Zhou Guang's face.
No matter how strong Lin Chen's formation was, under the frenzied assault of more than three thousand martial artists, it would soon be breached.
However, ten minutes passed, twenty minutes passed, and the attacks dissipated, but the formation remained intact.
In an instant, a deathly silence fell over the scene.
The smile on Zhou Guang's face vanished, replaced by an undeniable shock.
Because they discovered that the fire phoenix within the Eight Wastes Formation was absorbing the energy from the attacks, meaning, their assaults not only had no effect on the formation but were actually fueling it.
"How could this be!"
Everyone was stunned.
A trace of disdain flickered at the corner of Lin Chen's mouth, "Are you done playing? Now it's my turn."
As he finished speaking, Lin Chen bit his finger, shooting two drops of essence blood into the fire phoenix's eyes.
In an instant, the fire phoenix seemed to come to life.
The fierce fire phoenix suddenly charged out of the formation, directly attacking the three thousand coalition martial artists.
"Stop it," Zhou Guang's face turned frantic.
Attacks swiftly fell on the fire phoenix.
But when the attacks hit the fire phoenix, they only caused ripples.
The next moment, the fire phoenix flapped its wings, shooting countless fire feather arrows like rain towards the three thousand martial artists.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
In the blink of an eye, the martial artists at the forefront were hit by the fire feathers and turned into nothingness.
In just one wave of attack from the fire phoenix, more than five hundred martial artists died on the spot.
But it wasn't over yet. With a phoenix's cry, the fire phoenix waved its wings and charged at the remaining martial artists.
"Oh no!" Everyone at the scene was aghast.
The remaining martial artists dared not resist anymore, fleeing frantically.
Those who ran slowly were devoured by the fire phoenix.
After one round of assault by the fire phoenix, more than three thousand martial artists were reduced to just over a hundred.
The hundred who remained had long lost any will to resist, scattering and fleeing.
Zhou Guang was almost dumbfounded watching the scene.
What kind of formation was this? It was simply too powerful.
At this point, he no longer had any thoughts of revenge, only one idea—to run.
But just as he started to flee, a figure blocked his path.
"It's you?" Seeing Lin Chen, Zhou Guang's expression changed.
"Weren't you just seeking revenge on me? Why the rush to leave?" Lin Chen mocked.
"Kid, you relied on that formation just now. Now that it's gone, do you think you can kill me?" Zhou Guang sneered.
"Oh really? We can try," Lin Chen replied calmly.
