The Three Priests' Deadly Formation

Outside the City God Temple, killing intent solidified like ice.

Three figures, emanating powerful and eerie auras, stood like three malevolent peaks, blocking all escape routes.

Behind them, shadowy cultists and ferocious ghosts writhed in the darkness, like a tide eager to devour.

"Bald kid, hand over the sacred artifact's origin, and we'll leave you with your corpse intact!" From the front, the Ghost General Priest's voice rasped like two rusty bronze plates grinding together—dull and grating.

The zhanmadao in his hand, burning with eerie green ghost fire, was lifted slightly. Wailing souls coiled around the blade let out piercing shrieks, and the surrounding air temperature plummeted.

To the left, the Phantom Sound Priest lightly covered her mouth as she chuckled, her laughter echoing with a chilling, weeping resonance. "Why resist? Let big sis use this 'Soul Guiding Death Rat' to send you off into the most beautiful eternal slumber, won't that be nice?"

The crying staff in her hand dripped with viscous black liquid. Each drop felt like a stab to the heart, evoking the deepest sorrow and despair.

To the right, the shadows beneath the Insect Gu Priest's black robe writhed violently. His hoarse voice sounded like countless poisonous insects rubbing together, "Flesh and blood... are excellent insect nests..."

The viscous, churning black fog at his feet suddenly expanded. The buzzing of countless tiny venomous insects grew into a teeth-grinding cacophony, carrying a bone-corroding, soul-devouring miasma that silently permeated the area!

The peak Grade A auras of the three erupted and intertwined without reservation!

Phantom sounds to bewilder the spirit, insect gu to erode the body, and the ghost general to cleave the soul!

An invisible force field instantly formed, turning the space within dozens of meters of the dilapidated temple entrance into a forbidden zone! The air became thick and viscous, subjecting both mind and body to dual pressures!

At the center of the storm, Fang Gang's clothes fluttered and snapped in the violent energy currents.

His left hand still tightly gripped the section of pitch-black broken horn. Dark gold blood patterns flowed along the horn, continuously infusing his left arm with wild, cold power.

The branded dark gold patterns had spread to his shoulder blade. It felt as if living things were squirming beneath his skin, bringing a strange sensation of burning pain and rising strength.

Facing this deadly situation, which would make even an S-class expert take extreme precautions, Fang Gang's eyes showed no ripple of emotion, only extreme battle intent and a hint of... mockery?

"Is that all you've got?" His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly pierced through the phantom sound's weeping, the insect gu's buzzing, and the ghost general's shrieking, carrying a detached indifference, as if looking down on ants.

Before his words even faded, the three attacks arrived!

"Ghost Cry! Soul Split Slash!" roared the Ghost General Priest!

The eerie green ghost fire on the zhanmadao surged, transforming into a massive blade energy that tore through the night sky. Entwined with countless wailing souls, it carried a soul-freezing chill and a mountain-shattering might as it descended from above!

Where the blade energy passed, the ground was ploughed open into deep trenches!

"Soul Guide! Enter Dream!" The Phantom Sound Priest lightly shook her crying staff. A silent mental shriek mingled with the viscous black liquid, like an invisible poisoned dart, ignoring physical defenses and striking directly at Fang Gang's sea of consciousness!

Attempting to detonate his deepest fears and drag him into an eternal nightmare!

"Ten Thousand Gu! Corrode Heaven!" The Insect Gu Priest slammed his staff onto the ground!

The churning black fog and poisonous miasma surged like living creatures, instantly transforming into a torrent of countless tiny poisonous insects, glinting with metallic coldness. Carrying a pungent, foul odor and a toxicity that corroded all things, they swept towards Fang Gang from all directions like a black tide!

Wherever they passed, the ground hissed and emitted green smoke!

Mental attack! Energy slash! Physical poison! A trinity! Unavoidable!

"Come!"

Golden-red light erupted from Fang Gang's eyes!

The Nine Yang Qi and Blood within his body erupted like a volcano suppressed for eons!

Golden-red lava flowed beneath his skin, and his entire body instantly turned into a small, burning sun!

A scorching, overbearing pure yang aura spread wildly, instantly evaporating the thick, cold air around him!

The immense strength of the Dragon Elephant surged and roared within his bones and muscles, emitting dull, thunderous booms!

He didn't employ any complex martial techniques, simply pouring all his strength into his left fist!

On his fist, golden-red Nine Yang True Fire compressed and condensed. The vibrating force of the Dragon Elephant Thunder Sound merged into it!

The air was compressed and distorted by the extreme power, forming a visible, rapidly rotating golden-red vortex!

Pure! Overbearing! Breaking all laws with brute force!

"Break—!!!"

A roar, like the cry of a dragon from the nine heavens!

His left fist, burning with the golden-red vortex, was fiercely thrown out!

The target was directly aimed at the most imposing, descending eerie green ghost fire blade energy!

No dodging! No blocking! Only the most direct head-on collision!

RUMBLE—!!!!!!!

An indescribable collision!

Golden-red and eerie green light, like two small suns, fiercely collided!

An explosion erupted with a roar hundreds of times more terrifying than before! A violent energy shockwave blasted outwards like a tsunami!

The ground, like fragile biscuits, was peeled up and shattered layer by layer!

The shockwave violently slammed into the dilapidated walls of the City God Temple. The already precarious temple groaned under the unbearable load, and large sections of the walls collapsed with a thunderous roar!

The expected stalemate did not occur!

That seemingly indestructible ghost fire blade energy, entwined with countless vengeful souls, let out a piercing "crack" sound like fragile glass the moment it came into contact with the golden-red vortex fist!

The crimson vortex spun and ground like a millstone!

The percussive force, imbued with the Dragon Elephant Thunder Sound, shattered the blade's structure from within! The Supreme Yang True Fire was the absolute nemesis of vengeful spirit ghost fire!

"Sizzle—Boom!!!"

The blade's energy lasted only half a second before it exploded into pieces!

Countless ghostly green fires and wailing vengeful spirits were instantly ignited and purified by the crimson true fire! They turned into foul-smelling ashes scattering through the air!

The Ghost General Priest felt as if struck by lightning. His massive body trembled sharply, and a section of his bronze-armored chest visibly caved in!

He grunted, thick black blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. His eyes were filled with incredulous horror!

His full-power strike had been shattered by a single punch?!

Meanwhile, Fang Gang's fist, after shattering the blade's energy, only paused momentarily!

The crimson vortex continued its momentum, carrying the residual power to crush everything, and slammed heavily into the Ghost General Priest's chest!

"No!!" The Ghost General Priest's soul almost fled his body. In a panic, he brought his great saber horizontally before his chest to block!

"Clang—Crack!!!"

A piercing shriek of metal clashing was accompanied by the crisp sound of bone breaking!

The heavy great saber was directly snapped by the crimson vortex! The broken blade, carrying immense force, smashed hard against the Ghost General Priest's bronze chest plate!

"Pfft—!!!"

The chest plate visibly dented and shattered!

The Ghost General Priest's colossal body was sent flying like a cannonball, as if hit by a high-speed train, spewing blood from his mouth!

He crashed violently into the writhing cultists and ghostly creatures in the distance, crushing a swath of them instantly! Their fate unknown!

Almost at the same moment the Ghost General Priest was sent flying!

The Phantom Sound Priest's silent mental shriek and viscous black liquid slammed into Fang Gang's sea of consciousness.

Within his sea of consciousness, the Heart Like Glazed Glass mirror radiated brilliant light. Its clear and resilient glazed radiance was like the purest crystal barrier!

"Buzz!"

The mental attack, capable of instantly shattering a Grade B expert, struck the mirror, vanishing like a stone into the sea.

It only stirred a few imperceptible ripples. The viscous black liquid, as if encountering its nemesis, emitted a "sizzling" dissolving sound under the glazed radiance, vanishing into nothingness instantly!

The pale oil paint on the Phantom Sound Priest's face contorted, and she let out a terrified scream, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Her aura instantly weakened!

Her mental attack had been completely immune and reflected?!

At the same time!

The surging torrent of venomous insects also slammed hard into Fang Gang's burning crimson qi and blood!

"Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!"

Like boiling oil on snow! Countless tiny venomous insects hit the Supreme Yang True Fire, failing to last even half a second before being instantly burned to ashes!

The highly toxic corrosive black mist was instantly dispersed and purified by the scorching qi and blood gale! It couldn't even get within three feet of Fang Gang's body!

The shadow beneath the Insect Gu Priest's black robe fluctuated violently, and he let out a hiss like a venomous snake spitting its tongue, clearly also suffering a backlash!

In a flash of lightning!

The ultimate killing formation laid by the three priests—broken!

Fang Gang stood in place, the crimson flames around him slowly retracting.

He lightly shook his left fist. Golden-red light flowed around his fist, completely unharmed.

His gaze swept coldly over the horrified Phantom Sound and Insect Gu Priests, then glanced at the mess caused by the Ghost General Priest's impact.

"I said," his voice, like the whisper of death, echoed across the silent battlefield, "one move... isn't enough."

From the shadows, the Phantom Sound and Insect Gu Priests exchanged glances, seeing the unconcealed fear in each other's eyes. This bald guy... is a monster!

However, just as Fang Gang was about to finish off these two priests!

Buzz—!

A data surge, far more intense than before and chilling to the extreme, descended like a galaxy pouring down from the nine heavens, precisely locking onto the pitch-black broken horn in Fang Gang's hand.

The Faceless Cult Master's synthesized voice, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, resonated across the entire battlefield with an unprecedented "solemnity" and "suspicion":

"Alert! Alert!!"

"Vessel origin... contamination level... abnormally soaring!!"

"Key... fusion process... out of control!"

"Detected... unknown high-level will... erosion fluctuations!"

"Danger level... exceeding threshold!!!"

"Initiating... highest order... eradication contingency!!"
