The Incompetent

"You all take good control of your respective Formation Flags and help me suppress this demon."

Elder Qi roared.

He is located in the east of the Four-Direction Demon-Subduing Formation, and the East Formation Flags he controls is the first and main Formation Flags this formation.

The Formation Flags hung in front of Elder Qi, and he continuously formed hand Method Formula, pouring spiritual power into the Formation Flags.

Within the formation, flames burst forth.

Countless palm-sized flames appeared out of thin air.

Flames fell like raindrops.

The Tidal Demon raised his hand, and a huge stream of water appeared, coiling and meandering above his head like Flood Dragon.

The fiery rain fell on the water dragon, splashing up water droplets.

The flames extinguished upon contact with water, releasing a large amount of water vapor.

Elder Qi's profound spiritual power flowed continuously into the Formation Flags.

Under his control, the fire rain within the formation poured down like a waterfall.

In contrast, Song Wen and his two companions, who controlled the Formation Flags on the west, south, and north sides, seemed much more relaxed.

The three's task was relatively simple: they only needed to cast spells to stabilize the Formation Flags and ensure that the array could continue to operate stably.

The formation's offensive was fierce, but the Tidal Demon also displayed formidable strength.

It summoned streams of water that danced nimbly in the air, blocking the relentless downpour of fire.

The water and fire collided violently in the air, making a hissing sound, and water vapor rose up, creating a hazy scene.

Seeing that the formation could not harm him for the time being, the Tidal Demon gradually calmed down from his initial panic and rage.

With its powerful water-based Demon Power, the Tidal Demon not only blocked all the attacks of the fire rain, but also repeatedly attacked the array's light barrier, trying to break free.

After a prolonged and unsuccessful attack, Xing Chang appeared somewhat anxious.

"Elder Qi, why have we been unable to subdue the Tidal Demon for so long?"

While controlling the formation, Elder Qi replied.

"Young master, the intelligence is incorrect. The Tidal Demon is not afraid of the Fire Element Technique Method attacks of the <Four-Direction Demon-Subduing Formation>."

Xing Chang seemed to lack experience in dealing with unexpected situations, and his expression became flustered when faced with the unforeseen turn of events.

"What should we do then?"

Elder Qi, "Young Master, rest assured, even if the Tidal Demon breaks free of the formation, I can still protect you."

Upon hearing this, Xing Chang's expression softened somewhat.

As time passed, the Tidal Demon became increasingly adept at maneuvering, controlling numerous water currents that raged like mad dragons within the formation.

The array's light barrier flickered under the powerful impact of the water flow, appearing precarious and on the verge of collapse.

Elder Qi looked solemn and shouted loudly.

"Young master, the Tidal Demons are powerful, and the formation won't hold for long. When I shout 'retreat,' you must immediately slip away."

"Wei Ding, Yu Da, you two are responsible for covering the young master's retreat. No matter what happens, you must ensure his safety. Absolutely do not allow the Tidal Demon to harm him in the slightest."

His voice was firm and resolute, revealing an unquestionable authority.

Looking at the ferocious Tidal Demon within the formation, Yu Da narrowed his long, narrow eyes slightly.

"Elder Qi, rest assured, anyone who wants to harm the young master will have to step over my dead body."

Song Wen also replied loudly, "I will do my utmost to protect Young Master Xing's safety with my life."

Upon hearing this, Elder Qi remained noncommittal.

After activating the formation once more and unleashing a rain of fire, he roared.

"Withdraw!"

The Xing Chang looked flustered, like a frightened bird, and turned to flee in panic.

With his escape, the Southern Formation Flags he controlled lost control, and the formation instantly ceased to function.

The array's light barrier shattered into pieces, like broken glass.

The Xing Chang escaped quickly, and Yu Da was not far behind.

This man, who had always been extremely obsequious to the Xing Chang, also turned away without hesitation the moment the Xing Chang fled, quickly disappearing into the distant horizon.

As for his earlier statement about vowing to protect the Xing Chang at all costs, that has long been Nine Heavens.

Elder Qi and Song Wen did not run away. Instead, they each summoned a flying sword and slashed at the Tidal Demon.

The former flying sword was sharp and fierce, its movement like a swimming dragon, as swift as a shooting star.

Song Wen's flying sword was considerably inferior.

However, neither of their flying swords managed to harm the Tidal Demon. Before they could even get close, they were blocked by the water currents unleashed by the Tidal Demon.

The Tidal Demon seemed to know that the Xing Chang was the leader of the four.

It abandoned Song Wen and Elder Qi, who were closest to it, and rode the waves to chase after Xing Chang.

Elder Qi watched as the Tidal Demon drew ever closer to the Xing Chang, and as Yu Da fled, and cursed under his breath.

Damn it!

Immediately afterward, he hurriedly activated his escape light and chased after the Tidal Demon.

At the same time, he didn't forget to activate his flying sword to attack the Tidal Demon.

On this vast ocean, the Tidal Demon has the advantage of home ground, and Elder Qi knows that he is no match for the Tidal Demon.

He only hoped that his attack could disrupt the speed of the Tidal Demon, buying Xing Chang time to escape.

Song Wen watched the three fleeing figures and couldn't help but curl his lip.

These three people came with a large force and had set up a formation beforehand. However, nothing unexpected happened, and they still couldn't defeat a single Demon Beast.

If all the cultivators in the entire Sea of Disorder were so incompetent, I would surely be able to thrive Sea of Disorder.

Song Wen rode his sword, following Elder Qi at a leisurely pace.

Elder Qi looked anxious and kept urging his flying sword to slash at the Tidal Demon.

However, the Tidal Demon did not entangle with him, but instead continuously stirred up the seawater to form walls of water, blocking Elder Qi's flying sword.

As the Xing Chang investigation team looked back at the approaching Tidal Demons, the panic and fear on his face intensified, revealing none of the dignity of Foundation Establishment Late Stage expert.

The previous arrogance and conceit had long since vanished, replaced by deep despair and anxiety.

He frantically urged his flying sword on, trying to escape the Tidal Demon's pursuit, but the Tidal Demon was like a persistent leech, following him closely.

Suddenly, the Xing Chang heard a piercing sound coming from behind him, and he was immediately terrified.

Without turning his head, he immediately activated a shield to protect himself behind him.

"Bang."

A thick water spear slammed into the shield.

The shield blocked the water spear, but the enormous impact of the spear sent the shield flying backward, slamming heavily into the Xing Chang's back.

"Puff!"

Xing Chang spat out a mouthful of blood, lost his balance, and fell towards the sea below.

"Elder Qi, save me!"

Like a naive and mischievous child, when faced with a crisis, Xing Chang's first thought was not how to save himself, but to call on his elders for help.

Elder Qi looked anxious, "You beast, don't hurt the young master!"

As he spoke, he once again urged his flying sword to slash at the Tidal Demon.

The Tidal Demon raised its hand, and the seawater below surged up, forming a water wall several meters thick behind it.

Elder Qi's flying sword once again failed to achieve its goal.
