The Might of the Demon Presses Down on Mount Hui!
At the foot of Mount Hui, a grand formation had been laid by the Xuanyuan Family and Dragon Tiger Mountain.
The formation linked the family's fortune with the energy of Mount Hui's ley lines, and its defensive power was astonishing.
Li Chungang stood nearby, frowning slightly as a trace of gravity flashed in his eyes. He knew that with his current cultivation, forcibly breaking through the formation would be difficult to accomplish in a short time.
Yet Wang Ritain showed no fear. He raised the demonic saber high, and demonic energy surged over its blade like a raging tide. Its saber aura swept in every direction, seeming poised to tear the heavens apart. "Break!" Wang Ritain roared, bringing the saber down hard against the formation.
The Xuanyuan Family disciples and Dragon Tiger Mountain Daoists controlling the formation felt an irresistible force bearing down on them. Their faces turned deathly pale, and their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably. One after another, they spat blood, streaking the air with crimson trails. Their auras rapidly weakened, as if their life force had been drained away.
BOOM!
A thunderous crash, like heaven and earth splitting apart, rang out as the demonic saber slammed into the formation. Countless cracks appeared at once, spreading rapidly like a spiderweb. With another deafening boom, the formation shattered completely, dissolving into countless motes of light. The mountaintop where its core lay was blasted apart by the immense force, sending shattered rocks raining in every direction. Many members of the Xuanyuan Family couldn't get out of the way in time. Crushed by the falling stones, they dropped dead on the spot.
The onlookers trembled at the sight. Xu Fengnian stared wide-eyed at what had happened, utterly shaken. Could a person really do that? He's like a deity from legend—no, more like a demon unleashed! Wanwan stood nearby, equally stunned into silence. She had known Wang Ritain was powerful, but seeing him break this terrifying formation so effortlessly still exceeded anything she had imagined. Wang Ritain is actually this strong. No wonder Master thinks so highly of him. Her awe of him deepened.
Within the Xuanyuan Family, Xuanyuan Qingfeng felt the destruction of the formation more keenly than anyone. She recalled how powerful Wang Ritain had been when he left the family, and the difference between then and now was like night and day. In such a short time, Wang Ritain has grown this terrifyingly powerful. Just how far will he go? Xuanyuan Qingfeng marveled inwardly, filled with awe at his future.
Standing on Great Snow Plain, Xuanyuan Dapan stared at the formation Wang Ritain had destroyed, and a deep terror welled up inside him. Wang Ritain is even stronger than he was in Wudi City. With my current strength, I can't possibly stand against him. Xuanyuan Dapan's face was pale, and sweat covered his forehead. He knew that unless he found a way to stop Wang Ritain, he would surely lose his life.
"Quick! Hurry and set up a formation on Great Snow Plain! Use Mount Hui's ley-line energy to create a formation under my control. We have to stop Wang Ritain!" Xuanyuan Dapan cried in a panic, his voice trembling. The Xuanyuan Family members and the surviving Daoists of Dragon Tiger Mountain didn't dare slack off. They immediately set to work on the formation.
Wang Ritain's golden Nascent Soul appeared in the air, its golden eyes fixed on Xuanyuan Dapan. Holding the demonic saber, he walked step by step up the mountain. His demonic might shrouded all of Mount Hui, freezing the very air wherever he went. Those in the Xuanyuan Family with weak cultivation were so terrified by his presence that they collapsed to the ground, trembling.
"Wang Ritain, if you leave, I'll let bygones be bygones. I'll give you whatever you want." As Wang Ritain drew closer, Xuanyuan Dapan grew more and more afraid and couldn't help pleading for peace.
Wang Ritain let out a cold laugh, a look of disdain flashing in his eyes. "The Xuanyuan Family has long since rotted to the core. And you should go where you belong." His voice was calm, but filled with killing intent. With that, he swept into the Xuanyuan Family, wrapped in rolling waves of demonic energy.
When Wang Ritain reached Great Snow Plain and saw the formation being set up before him, a cold killing intent flashed in his eyes. Without a word, he swung his saber down. BOOM! Another thunderous crash rang out as demonic energy surged into the formation like a raging tide. The newly completed formation was as fragile as a bubble before that overwhelming force, and it was destroyed in an instant.
Everyone inside the formation, except Xuanyuan Dapan, was swept away by the demonic energy. The thick snow that had covered Great Snow Plain was blown away, and the ground was shaved down by an inch.
Xu Fengnian, Wanwan, and Xuanyuan Jingcheng were so shocked that words failed them. Wanwan finally understood why her master, Zhu Yuyan, thought so highly of Wang Ritain. His strength was enough to change the balance of power in the martial world. Xuanyuan Jingcheng looked at Wang Ritain, feeling both awe and satisfaction. He was in awe of Wang Ritain's strength, and glad that Xuanyuan Dapan had finally met his match and could no longer throw his weight around within the family.
