Much obliged!
General Zhi Yao was a Sovereign-realm expert, while Nie Yun was merely in the middle stage of the King Realm. How could he possibly obey the general's orders? Nie Yun had already prepared for the worst, even deciding to reveal certain matters to win his trust. Yet before he could speak, Miss Bi'er had persuaded him, and he could not help letting out a breath of relief.
"Since the general could stand here, you must have already deduced that this is the very center of the Five Elements Light-Veiling Formation. What I need you to do is simple... strike the ground with all your strength!"
Knowing that, as a general, his word carried great weight, and that since he had agreed to follow his instructions he would not go back on his word, Nie Yun did not stand on ceremony and spoke directly.
On the way here, Nie Yun had already calculated that the place where General Zhi Yao stood was precisely the center of the Formation, where the Five Elements were most balanced. For him to find this place, it seemed this general also possessed a profound understanding of Formations.
"Strike the ground with all my strength?"
General Zhi Yao's hawkish brows furrowed.
Rather than figuring out how to break the Formation, why attack the ground?
Though puzzled, he did not refuse. He nodded. "All of you, retreat beyond the blank area!"
After saying this, he drew a deep breath and raised the long spear in his hand, sparks of lightning seeming to flicker in his eyes.
Nie Yun and the others knew that a Sovereign-realm expert's full-force strike was no trifling matter. Even the aftershock was beyond what they could withstand, so they immediately retreated.
General Zhi Yao leaped up and slowly rose into the air.
