Toughness, Displaying Strength

What a blow—such a crushing blow.

Yet at that moment, Hua Meixi suddenly thought of something and cried out softly, "Th-this-this... isn't this the Bloodforged Army-Slaying Formation?"

The moment her words fell, everyone in the room shuddered violently.

They instantly realized it: when Sikong Jing had made his move in War Martial City before, he had used the Bloodforged Army-Slaying Formation. But what his subordinates were using now was not that—it was a second Army-Slaying Formation they had never seen before.

The Bloodforged Army-Slaying Formation had very distinctive traits. When deployed, blood clouds would fill the sky.

In an instant, everyone's gaze fell upon Sikong Jing. Their eyes bulged wide, their faces filled with shock and incomprehension.

Sikong Jing had long expected such a reaction, but instead of answering, he said to Sui Yu, "Not bad. You haven't slacked off in the two-plus months since I left. You've already entered the doorway of Army-Slaying Formations."

As he spoke, he turned to Old Mo and asked, "Old Mo, what do you think of the Army-Slaying Formation wielded by my subordinate generals this time? How well have they mastered it?"

Old Mo's pupils contracted slightly as he replied in a low voice, "Quite good, but this old man doesn't understand it very well."

Smiling faintly again, Sikong Jing continued, "I have quite a few generals like Sui Yu, and they are spread across every imperial dynasty and force in the Azure Dragon Small Domain. All of them are studying Army-Slaying Formations..."

The moment those words came out, Old Mo, Lang Zhengzhi, and the others' pupils shrank sharply.

Hua Meixi and the others from the Raging Flower Battle Team opened their mouths, desperately wanting to say, Are you bluffing?

But after glancing at Sui Yu, they could not bring themselves to say it.
