Master and Disciple Join Forces

The Exotic Races commander, at the Profound Connection Realm Late Stage, gave an order. The hundreds of Exotic Races soldiers behind him charged towards the Vanguard Camp like hungry wolves. They wielded various bone weapons, their faces contorted into ferocious smiles, clearly not taking the Vanguard Camp seriously.

Fang Yan's eyes sharpened. Just as he was about to order his men to meet the enemy, he suddenly felt a powerful aura from behind him. His heart stirred, and he spun around. A figure clad in green was speeding from afar, moving as fast as lightning, and instantly appeared by his side.

"Master!" Fang Yan exclaimed in surprise. The arrival was none other than Elder Wu of the Mystic Martial Pavilion, his master, a powerhouse at the Martial King Sixth Layer.

Elder Wu wore a green robe, his hair streaked with white, but he was full of vigor. He looked at Fang Yan and nodded, "Not bad, kid. You've broken through to the Martial King Third Layer in such a short time, and even learned a new Martial Skill. You haven't disappointed me."

"It's all thanks to Master's teachings," Fang Yan said respectfully. With Elder Wu here, his confidence soared.

Upon seeing Elder Wu, the Exotic Races commander's expression changed drastically. He could feel the powerful aura emanating from Elder Wu, the pressure of a Martial King Sixth Layer, far surpassing his own. However, relying on his superior numbers, he gritted his teeth and said, "Who is this old geezer, daring to meddle in my business! I'll deal with you too today!"

Elder Wu let out a cold laugh, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes. "You ignorant fool. How dare you act so arrogant in front of me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his body flickered, and he instantly appeared before the Exotic Races commander. Before the commander could react, Elder Wu unleashed a palm strike.

"Bang!" With a deafening sound, the Exotic Races commander didn't even have time to let out a scream before being sent flying by Elder Wu's palm, crashing heavily onto the ground. He spat blood, clearly on the verge of death.

"The Commander is mighty!" Seeing Elder Wu instantly kill the Exotic Races commander with a single blow, the soldiers of the Vanguard Camp cheered in unison.

The remaining Exotic Races soldiers were terrified and turned to flee.

"None of you will escape!" Fang Yan roared, leading his soldiers in pursuit. Elder Wu wasn't idle either. He casually unleashed several palm winds, each capable of killing several Exotic Races soldiers.

Under the combined efforts of master and disciple, the hundreds of Exotic Races soldiers were quickly annihilated.

After dealing with the Exotic Races soldiers, Elder Wu looked at Fang Yan and said, "Kid, the situation here is more serious than I imagined. This Exotic Races city is likely not simple."

Fang Yan nodded, "Master, I also feel this city is not simple. There are many powerful auras inside, including quite a few at the Profound Connection Realm Late Stage."

Elder Wu pondered for a moment. "We cannot attack head-on. A frontal assault would result in too heavy casualties. I will infiltrate the city first to scout the situation and see if I can find their weakness."

"Master, that's too dangerous!" Fang Yan quickly said. There were many Exotic Races in the city, and powerful experts were stationed there. Elder Wu infiltrating alone was far too risky.

Elder Wu smiled, "Don't worry, kid. With my strength, they won't be able to discover me if I infiltrate. You wait here and don't make any rash moves."

Before Fang Yan could say anything else, Elder Wu's body transformed into a green afterimage, instantly vanishing from his spot and infiltrating the Exotic Races city.

Fang Yan watched in the direction Elder Wu disappeared, a sense of worry in his heart. But he also knew Elder Wu was right; a frontal assault wasn't feasible. They had to understand the situation first.

He ordered his soldiers to stand by, closely monitoring the movements of the Exotic Races city. At the same time, he silently prayed for Elder Wu's safe return.

Time ticked by, and Fang Yan grew increasingly anxious. Just then, he saw a green figure rush out of the Exotic Races city – it was Elder Wu.

"Master!" Fang Yan quickly went to meet him.

Elder Wu's expression was grave. "Kid, the situation is not good. This city is an important stronghold for the Exotic Races. Inside, there is an Exotic Races leader at the Martial King First Layer, over ten commanders at the Profound Connection Realm Late Stage, and tens of thousands of soldiers. Furthermore, they have set up a powerful formation in the city called the 'Black Wind Formation,' with infinite power."

Fang Yan's heart sank. "A leader at the Martial King First Layer? And tens of thousands of soldiers? This is going to be difficult."

Elder Wu nodded. "Indeed. We have no chance of winning in a frontal assault. However, I discovered a weakness. The core of the 'Black Wind Formation' is in the center of the city. As long as we can destroy the formation's core, the formation will become ineffective. Then, when we launch our attack, it will be much easier."

"Then how can we destroy the formation's core?" Fang Yan asked.

Elder Wu said, "The formation's core is guarded by two commanders at the Profound Connection Realm Late Stage, and there are many soldiers patrolling around. It will be very difficult to get close. However, I have a plan."

He leaned close to Fang Yan's ear and whispered a few words. Fang Yan's eyes flashed with understanding. "Good idea! We'll proceed according to Master's plan!"

Afterward, Fang Yan summoned Zhao Hu and Li Gang and explained the plan to them. Upon hearing it, both nodded in agreement.

According to the plan, Li Gang would lead a team to launch a feint attack on the left flank of the city, attracting the attention of the Exotic Races. Zhao Hu would lead another team to stand by on the right flank, ready to attack and pin them down once the main Exotic Races forces were drawn to the left. Fang Yan and Elder Wu would then take advantage of the chaos to infiltrate the city center and destroy the formation's core.

With everything prepared, Li Gang led his soldiers to launch an attack on the city's left flank. They shouted and charged towards the city gates, creating the illusion of a full-scale assault.

The Exotic Races in the city fell for the bait. The Exotic Races leader, at the Martial King First Layer, immediately ordered most of the soldiers and commanders to rush to the left flank to resist Li Gang's attack.

"Now!" Elder Wu grunted, and together with Fang Yan, they transformed into two afterimages, silently infiltrating the city.

They avoided the patrolling soldiers and sped towards the city center. Soon, they arrived at the location of the formation's core. It was a massive black altar, with a black spear planted in it. Dense black energy emanated from the spear, which was the core of the "Black Wind Formation."

Beside the altar stood two Exotic Races commanders at the Profound Connection Realm Late Stage, their weapons held alertly as they scanned their surroundings.

"Attack!" Elder Wu grunted and charged forward. He unleashed a palm strike towards one of the Exotic Races commanders.

The commander reacted swiftly, raising his weapon to block. "Clang!" With a loud noise, the two clashed.

Seeing Elder Wu attack, the other Exotic Races commander lunged towards Fang Yan. Fang Yan didn't dare to be careless. He circulated his Prison Heaven Sword Finger, and a sharp sword-finger beam shot out.

The Exotic Races commander hadn't expected Fang Yan's strength to be so formidable. He quickly dodged to the side, but the sword-finger beam was too fast, grazing his shoulder and leaving a deep wound.

Fang Yan pressed his advantage, unleashing several more sword-finger beams. The Exotic Races commander retreated repeatedly, gradually falling into a disadvantage.

Elder Wu's side also quickly gained the upper hand. After all, he was a Martial King Sixth Layer powerhouse, and dealing with a commander at the Profound Connection Realm Late Stage was more than enough.

"Pfft!" Elder Wu struck the Exotic Races commander's chest with a palm strike. The commander spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed on the ground, his life force completely extinguished.

After dealing with his opponent, Elder Wu immediately rushed towards Fang Yan. Seeing that the other Exotic Races commander was still resisting, he casually unleashed a palm wind, sending him flying.

"Quick, destroy the formation core!" Elder Wu urged.

Fang Yan nodded and immediately went to the altar. He raised his spear and thrust it towards the black spear.

"Clang!" The spear struck the black spear, emitting a loud noise. The black spear shook violently, and the black energy around it dimmed slightly.

Fang Yan didn't stop. He raised his spear again and thrust it at the black spear. After more than ten consecutive thrusts, the black spear finally couldn't bear the strain and snapped with a "crack."

As the black spear broke, the surrounding black energy instantly dissipated, and the "Black Wind Formation" became ineffective.

"We succeeded!" Fang Yan shouted excitedly.

Just then, a huge commotion erupted from the city. The Exotic Race leader, who was at the Martial King First Layer, discovered the formation had been broken and immediately led his soldiers towards the city center.

"Not good, they're here!" Elder Wu's expression changed.

Fang Yan said, "Master, let's go quickly!"

The two dared not delay and immediately turned, speeding towards the outside of the city.

As they rushed out of the city, Zhao Hu and Li Gang also led their soldiers in a retreat. Upon seeing Fang Yan and Elder Wu, they quickly went to greet them, "Commander, Elder Wu, how did it go?"

Fang Yan nodded, "It was successful! We destroyed the core of the formation, and the 'Black Wind Formation' is no longer active."

"That's great!" Zhao Hu and Li Gang exclaimed excitedly.

Elder Wu said, "Now that the formation is inactive, the Exotic Race leader at the Martial King First Layer is still here. We must quickly devise a new plan to break through this city in one fell swoop."

Fang Yan nodded, "Master is right. Let's return to the camp first and then make further plans."

Afterward, Fang Yan led the soldiers of the Vanguard Camp back to the camp. Elder Wu remained in the camp, researching the plan to attack the city with Fang Yan.

A more intense siege battle was about to begin.
