Breaking the Formation
Black Creek Town...
Stroking his chin, Yang Tianyou pondered for a moment. He looked at the location of Black Creek Town on the map, feeling that something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
A moment later, Yang Tianyou nodded in agreement and ordered an attack on Black Creek Town!
Deep within the wide canyon, the sounds of hammering and clanging emanated from the cave, accompanied by gusts of hot wind carrying a faint metallic smell.
At the cave entrance, groups of Blood Servants of various appearances went in and out, carrying or lifting a kind of black ore outwards.
A narrow stream, about three or four zhang wide, flows through the middle of the canyon, with many houses built on both sides. These houses are exquisitely constructed, forming a natural contrast with the rugged style of the Barbarian Tribe.
Blood Race admire beauty and especially appreciate exquisite objects. The various items they create are often beautifully designed, especially clothing and jewelry, which are highly sought after by Human Race cultivators.
In the center of Black Creek Town stands a tall building, shaped like a spire, entirely made of red and white. Six wind chimes hang from the corners of each floor, making a melodious tinkling sound when a gentle breeze blows.
At the very top of the tower, three Foundation Establishment Blood Race sat lazily in their seats, each attended by three or four beautiful Blood Race maids, chatting and laughing happily.
"Brother Si Kong, I heard you acquired a top-tier Blood Servant a few days ago. Why don't you bring it out for us to see?"
The lazy Blood Race on the left chuckled as he pulled the pretty maid beside him into his arms and began to grope her.
"Don't even mention it! That Human Race woman is incredibly fierce. I've tried to train her for days but haven't succeeded. She's still locked up!"
Upon hearing this, the Blood Race named Si Kong's face darkened, and his tone became displeased.
"Why not just plant a blood seal on this kind of woman? Then we won't care what she thinks; she'll be completely at our mercy!"
The last Blood Race spoke nonchalantly. He was the most robust of the three Blood Race, with a scar on his left cheek and a fierce glint in his eyes.
"Hahaha, Brother Yin, you're mistaken. Everyone has a love for beauty. We should be more patient with beautiful women, letting them submit to us body and soul, willingly serving us. That feeling, tsk tsk tsk..."
The Blood Race on the left smacked his lips, a look of lingering satisfaction on his face.
"Let's not talk about that anymore. Anyway, the Blackblood Guards have already invaded Human Race territory. When they return, there will be as many female Human Race cultivators as we want." The Blood Race named Si Kong waved his hand, changing the subject.
At this, the other two Blood Race perked up immediately, especially the burly Blood Race named Yin Nakong, a member of the Blood Race Yin Household Lineage. He loved fighting, but unfortunately, he had been punished to serve as a guard here for making a mistake a few months ago.
"Our Blackblood Guards of Blackblood City are considered the strongest army among the nearby Golden Core Forces. If it weren't for Human Race Crouching Ox Pass blocking their way, they would have razed Dragon Valley County to the ground long ago."
Yin Nakong smiled proudly, his words revealing his high regard for the Blackblood Guard.
"Of course! If it weren't for our Blood Race's relatively poor reproductive ability, how could the Human Race have occupied such a large territory? Back then, Mo Province and Xuan Province were our Blood Race's territory, but now they've been occupied by the Human Race. Whenever I think about this, I can't eat or sleep!"
Si Kong's face was filled with anger. He drank the wine in his cup in one gulp, and the blood-red liquid flowed down the corner of his mouth, adding a touch of ferocity to his face.
Yin Nakong smiled slightly, exchanged a glance with another Blood Race, and a look of understanding flashed across their faces.
Si Kong's anger was not solely for the sake of the Blood Race; he likely harbored more personal motives.
As a major clan among the Blood Race, the Si Household Lineage's original ancestral home was located at the border of Mo Province and Xuan Province, a vast and beautiful Secret Realm.
Now, the ancestral land of the Si Household has fallen into the hands of the Human Race, where it has been wantonly ravaged and its resources divided up. Therefore, every member of the Si Household with a sense of Lineage honor will react strongly when this matter is mentioned.
"Brother Si Kong, please don't be angry. I've heard that this Cold Tide not only caused the fall of Crouching Ox Pass, but also caused the loss of many of the Human Race's passes. Perhaps this is our race's chance to reclaim Mo Province and Xuan Province."
"Brother Yin is right. According to a message from one of my clansmen, it seems that a powerful figure from the Blood God Hall has already arrived in the Human Race territory, accompanied by Nascent Spirit Tribe and Saint-level Spirit Transformation from the Demon Race, Spirit Clan, Ghost Tribe Barbarian Tribe, and Sage Manifestation Clan."
Is this really true?
"Of course, my cousin was chosen by the Blood God Hall a few years ago and is now an Inner Periphery disciple of the Blood God Hall. I can still find out this information."
Speaking of this, the Blood Race on the left chuckled, his words tinged with smugness.
While the Blood Race were talking, a Flying Boat Concealment flew in from outside Black Creek Town and stopped on a hill.
Outside, the world was covered in white snow, but Black Creek Town, protected by the Formation, remained green with clear waters, babbling brooks, and a thriving community.
As the Flying Boat landed, Yang Tianyou and Liu Changqing quietly appeared with dozens of Lineage cultivators. The former immediately activated the Great White Gold Eyes, his invisible gaze descending to observe the Black Creek Town before him.
As Yang Tianyou's cultivation improved, his Great White Gold Eyes became increasingly wondrous. He was now only one step away from Foundation Establishment, and he could even feel a mysterious and powerful force beckoning to him—that was Divine Ability!
"The Formation's level is too high; I've only identified two weak points, located at..."
Yang Tianyou pointed out the location to Liu Changqing and the other two Spirit Beasts.
"That's enough. The Blood Race aren't good at Formations. Once you find a weak point in their formation, it'll be much easier to break through."
Liu Changqing stroked his beard and handed a Talisman to the Wolf Ancestor.
"This is Second-Rank Low-Grade -Formation-Breaking Talisman from my Liu Household. Each of us will hold one, and we'll unleash it together, then attack in unison. We're sure to break the Black Creek Town Formation in one fell swoop."
Wolf Ancestor accepted the Formation-Breaking Talisman and nodded slightly.
Without further hesitation, the group split into two teams: one consisting of the Liu Household cultivators, and the other consisting of the Yang Household and Zhuang Household, resulting in a relatively balanced strength.
After carefully concealing himself, Yang Tianyou hid in the shadows and observed the group's actions.
"Now! Break it!"
A long howl pierced the sky. As the sound faded, two Formation-Breaking Talisman transformed into talismanic light and landed on the Formation. In an instant, the Formation in Black Creek Town began to shake violently, its very foundation shaken.
Immediately afterwards, the howls of wolves and the cries of eagles Yunxiao in equal order, and amidst the swirling snow, two Giant Beasts, one green and one gray, stood proudly.
Hundreds of Wind Blades transformed into Tornado Storm, sweeping outwards, while sharp wolf claws pressed down like collapsing mountains.
Rumble!
A sound like muffled thunder exploded, followed by a bang, as the sky burst into light and a violent surge of Spiritual Qi swept out, stirring up a blizzard that swept for miles around.
In an instant, the overwhelming momentum shook the entire Black Creek Town Blood Race. Swift figures rushed out from the town center one after another, led by Si Kong and two other Foundation Establishment Blood Race.
