As Fang Chen approached the stone men, they seemed to sense him. They immediately opened a path for him, then closed ranks and surrounded him as soon as he flew into the formation.
The moment they closed ranks, Fang Chen felt a powerful pressure bear down on him, making his body tremble.
"What crushing pressure!"
Fang Chen was secretly shocked. He finally understood why these Glazed Sword Sect disciples had been pinned down so completely.
Yan Ziyi and the Glazed Sword Sect disciples inside the formation froze when they saw Fang Chen suddenly charge in.
Yan Ziyi stared at him and asked, "Fellow cultivator, who are you?"
"Roar, roar, roar..."
The stone men let out low growls, then attacked Fang Chen together.
Fang Chen offered Yan Ziyi no explanation. He tossed the Jade Slip to Yuan Ziyi, unleashed a powerful aura, and stepped into the Misty Turtle Step. His body became an afterimage as he rushed at the stone men.
The stone men swung their stone spears, sending streaks of light shooting toward him.
Fang Chen's gaze sharpened. He swung the Floating Immortal Sword and slashed hard into them.
Boom, boom, boom...
The stone men exploded one after another. Runes peeled from their bodies in great numbers, and surges of scorching energy poured from the Floating Immortal Sword into Fang Chen.
Fang Chen moved so quickly that the light fired from their spears could not touch him. Wherever he passed, sword light flashed and stone men burst apart.
The stone men shattered earlier by the Glazed Sword Sect disciples had quickly reassembled and rejoined the fight. But after Fang Chen shattered them with the Floating Immortal Sword, their bodies lay scattered on the ground. Though the Formation Runes on the broken stones still flickered, they reassembled much more slowly.
