"Bang!"

The astonishing speed and strength left Elder Liu with no time to dodge. He took a direct kick to the face and fell off the flying sword.

"Not good!"

"Elder Liu, be careful."

At this moment, many cultivators reacted and exclaimed in surprise.

Some reacted extremely quickly, forming a spell and charging towards the assailant.

However, the person who made the move was Xu Que. The speed of the Three Thousand Thunder Movement was incredibly fast. After hitting the target with one strike, he rode the lightning and instantly landed on the top of the mountain behind Panshan Village.

He burst into loud laughter.

"Haha, old bastard, dare to curse me behind my back? Let me give you a kick first, no need to be polite."

“Bastard!” Elder Liu steadied himself, trembling all over with anger.

On the face that once exuded an ethereal and sage-like aura, there was now a shoe print, making it look utterly ridiculous.

The remaining cultivators were also furious, pointing at Xu Que and shouting:

“Despicable scoundrel, attacking by surprise.”

"You dare harm the elder of our sect, you're finished."

"Come out and fight if you dare!"

The disciples of Elder Liu's sect were also furious, pointing at Xu Que and cursing loudly.

Xu Que shrugged his shoulders, looking innocent as he said, "How is this a sneak attack? I came openly and honestly. It's just that you guys are too slow, your eyes can't keep up with my speed."

"You little bastard, you're courting death," Elder Liu said, his face extremely grim, gritting his teeth in anger.

Xu Que was also angry: "Old bastard, watch your mouth. Who the hell taught you to speak like that? Do you have any manners at all?"

Upon hearing this, everyone twitched at the corners of their mouths, and Elder Liu almost fainted from anger.

Damn it, don't you also start with foul language?

"Let me put it this way, what the old geezer just said was right, you’ve been fooled. There are no experts stationed in Panshan Village at all. Oh, wait, I am the expert!"

Xu Que squinted his eyes and smiled.

An old man stepped out, his face gloomy, and said, "Hmph, whether or not there's a master present, today you're doomed to die."

"Is that so?" Xu Que's lips curled into a smile as he glanced at the light screen above his head and said with a laugh, "With you bunch of losers, let's see if you can even enter my formation first."

The crowd immediately became furious, each forming hand seals, ready to rush forward and fight with Xu Que.

Elder Liu sneered, "So it was you who set up this formation. No wonder it looks so pathetic. Although it makes quite a commotion, thinking it could stop us is nothing but a fool's dream."

Many disciples responded one after another:

"That's right, Elder Liu is correct."

"To think that this paltry little formation could stop us is sheer arrogance and courting disaster."

"Once we break through the formation, we will make you wish you were dead."

Xu Que chuckled, "Oh, oh, oh, you think you can break my formation?"

Elder Liu shook his head and sneered, "Ignorant child, do you think obtaining a small formation makes it a treasure? Do you really think you can stop us?"

"Hmm, it seems like you are the ones who are ignorant. I never intended to use this formation to block you, because..." Xu Que paused slightly, a glint of coldness flashing in his eyes, and continued, "I plan to use it to kill you."

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

Immediately, a burst of laughter erupted from the mountaintop.

"Haha, did you hear that? That kid said he wants to use this formation to kill us."

"What utter foolishness!"

"Ignorance is truly frightening."

"It's obvious this kid hasn't seen much of the world. If he were to see our sect's mountain-guarding formation, he'd probably be scared to death."

The cultivators burst into laughter, and Elder Liu wore a look of mockery, shaking his head as he said:

"You little bastard, let me tell you the truth. I have quite the expertise in formations. This little formation of yours, I can break it in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. Prepare to meet your end."

Xu Que was taken aback by everyone's reaction, feeling a bit uncertain himself.

Damn, could it be that the Eight Desolations Four Symbols Array really isn't that great?

It doesn't make sense, I spent a full eighty pretentious points to get it, and the formation description also mentioned that intruders below the Infant Transformation stage are to be killed without mercy.

Could it be that the cultivators in this world excel at setting up formations and have reached an extraordinary level of mastery in the art of formations?

Xu Que felt a bit suspicious in his heart. If the formation was really broken by this group of people, it would be a huge loss.

His eyes shifted, and he decided to give it a try first, then looked at Elder Liu and said:

"Old rascal, you said you could break the formation in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. Fine, I'll give you that time. Go ahead and break it."

"Hmph, looking for trouble."

Elder Liu let out a cold snort, maneuvered his flying sword, and his figure suddenly soared into the air. With a wave of his arms, a flame instantly gathered before him.

Boom!

The flames spread out before him, splitting into fiery swords, majestic and suspended in mid-air.

"To break your formation, I don't even need to find the core; I'll shatter it directly."

Elder Liu finished speaking and shouted in a deep voice.

"Break it for me."

Instantly, the countless fire swords transformed into streams of light, falling densely like a sudden rain towards the back mountain of Panshan Village.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The fire sword pounded heavily on the light screen, emitting a series of dull thuds.

Everyone's eyes were also focused on the light screen, eager to witness the moment the formation was broken.

Elder Liu's face also revealed a confident smile.

However, after a cup of tea's time, the bombardment of fire swords ended, the fireworks dissipated, and the light screen still enveloped Panshan Village without a scratch, as if nothing had ever happened.

The scene fell into a deathly silence.

The smile on Elder Liu's face completely froze.

Xu Que was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Haha, break the formation? And in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea? Old geezer, are you joking?"

Elder Liu's face immediately turned red with anger, utterly furious.

The other cultivators behind him also looked embarrassed; this matter was simply too humiliating.

It's just that... how could this happen?

Elder Liu's mastery of formations is already quite remarkable, how could he possibly fail to break this kid's formation? Could there be something strange going on?

"Ah, the loneliness of a master!"

At this moment, Xu Que sighed and began to gaze at the sky with a sense of wonder.

"You say you can't even break this trivial little formation, yet you dare to boast outside about wanting to kill me?"

"Tsk tsk, why don't you come over? I'm waiting for you to kill me."

"Don't all stay silent, come on, isn't it enough if I offer my neck for you to kill?"

Faced with Xu Que's mocking words, the people on the opposite mountain were already driven to madness.

One of the young disciples immediately shouted angrily:

"If you have the guts, come out and stop hiding in the formation like a coward."

"Exactly, don't hide inside and talk tough. If you truly have the strength, come out and fight."

"That's right, if you've got the guts, come out. I'll give you a hand."

The eyes of many disciples lit up, thinking they had found a way to counter Xu Que's words, and they began to provoke him one after another.

Several elders nodded slightly, agreeing that this method was good.

Young people are full of vigor and competitiveness, and they certainly can't resist provocation.

As soon as Xu Que dares to step out of the formation, they will immediately capture him with thunderous means.

But Xu Que's demeanor was very calm.

Leaning leisurely against a big tree, he sat down, crossed his legs, tilted his head back, nostrils flaring towards the sky, and said with an air of arrogance, "Do you have the qualifications to fight someone as skilled as me?"

Everyone immediately fell silent, and several elders were so angry that the corners of their mouths twitched.

Damn, I've never seen someone so shameless!

A mere Foundation Establishment stage, yet dares to call themselves a master in front of a Golden Core stage!

Elder Liu snorted coldly and said:

"Hmph, since you don't dare to come out, then just keep hiding. From now on, we'll have people stationed here, making sure you and those villagers can never escape this place for the rest of your lives."

Xu Que started to laugh.

"Haha, I wasn't planning on hiding. I just wanted to test the power of this formation. After all, this formation is not something your so-called mountain-protecting arrays can compare to."

"By the way, don't think that just because you're standing outside the formation, you'll be safe and sound."

"Because... you are all within the attack range of my formation!"

As the words fell, he suddenly pulled out an object from his bosom, which was precisely the formation disk of the Eight Desolations Four Symbols Array!

With two fingers pinched together, gently press down on the position of the Vermilion Bird formation eye in the direction of Nangong.

Boom!

Immediately, a beam of white light shot up into the sky from the mountainside closest to him!

The vermilion bird totem, formed from the blood of birds and fowls on the ground, slowly began to wriggle, gradually taking shape and merging into the beam of light.

"Screech!"

After counting breaths, a piercing screech echoed all around!

The numerous cultivators were suddenly startled, unable to suppress a shiver.

Following closely, a vermilion bird enveloped in flames burst out from the mountain under the astonished gazes of the crowd.

Its form was somewhat ethereal, like a fleeting illusion, yet it exuded a majestic aura, carrying with it blazing flames as it charged directly at the crowd!
