Chapter 2326 - 1820: Nine Elements Locking God Formation

First update, asking for subscriptions and monthly tickets~~~~...

"Ah~~"

It wasn't until the person flew far away that this scream came delayed... A red line cut through the mid-air, which was quite dazzling, and made the eyes of the other Qingyi Iron Guards become even colder.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, is this your Qingyi Iron Guard? I think it's not much of anything..."

Song Yi and the others had long predicted this outcome, so they weren't surprised. Naturally, they didn't need to be stunned and immediately sneered with a sarcastic smile.

"Uh..."

Looking at the Qingyi Iron Guard who was knocked away by Qin Fang's punch, Cao Yuan was also a bit stunned, seemingly a little surprised by Qin Fang's strength, "No wonder you guys are so confident... Seems like I underestimated this young man!"

Of course, it was just a bit unexpected.

Thinking Qin Fang's age, grandmaster level cultivation was considered normal, being able to step into the grandmaster level was quite impressive... But just now, his subordinate was also at the grandmaster level but couldn't withstand Qin Fang's punch, meaning Qin Fang's strength was higher than his estimation, at least reaching late grandmaster level cultivation.

If it were on a usual day, seeing such a young late grandmaster-level expert, Cao Yuan would have been very happy, might even try to make friends, but now... Different stances meant they were destined to be enemies.

Such a talented young expert, Cao Yuan wouldn't mind cutting him off...

"But if you think such skill can resist my Qingyi Iron Guard, then you're really too naive..."

Cao Yuan's expression became even colder, and his aura was fully unleashed without any reservation, immediately starting to counter the attack from Song Yi and others... The loss of just one Qingyi Iron Guard wasn't much.

To ambush these great grandmaster-level experts, he had already prepared for heavy losses before coming... Now it was just the first one, and that young man's strength was strong, but he seemed not to reach the extent of killing a Qingyi Iron Guard with one punch!

Of course, this thought was his self-hypnosis... Qin Fang had a good grasp of his strength, that Qingyi Iron Guard wouldn't die but definitely lost all combat ability.

As for not killing him, it was just Qin Fang's intention...

"Kill!!!"

However, Qin Fang's goodwill did not earn the understanding of those Qingyi Iron Guards, instead making them more furious, their unified tone raised a terrifying wave of air, and then a dozen people quickly formed an encirclement, swiftly attacking Qin Fang's position.

"Huh... Is this the Nine Elements Locking God Formation?"

Qin Fang had been observing the reactions of these Qingyi Iron Guards. As they attacked, he paid attention to their formation, and indeed saw some insight.

"This combined strike battle formation is indeed a formidable formation..."

In all his experiences, Qin Fang had encountered some masters with good teamwork, but this formidable combined strike formation was his first time... Despite the formation, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Qin Fang might not have believed it.

But now Qin Fang believed it...

These Qingyi Iron Guards formed a very powerful Nine Elements Locking God Formation... Claimed to lock even gods, so its power was imaginable, saying it could kill any expert below Supreme Realm was definitely not arrogant talk.

Only...

"What a pity, what a pity... you actually ran into me! Then it's just your bad luck..."

Encountering other experts, this Nine Elements Locking God Formation would be unbeatable, rarely anyone could crack such a troublesome formation... But Qin Fang was definitely an exception, absolutely not among these people.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~~~

The Traceless Snow Stepping Technique fully unfolded, and Qin Fang became a black shadow, directly rushing into the Nine Elements Locking God Formation... Once inside, he felt like he entered another world.

His vision was no longer of clear skies, but a gray world, everything around was unclear, all appeared gray, like everything returned to chaos...

"Illusion..."

Others might be scared encountering this situation, but Qin Fang only scoffed with disdain...

As a Grandmaster of Thousand Techniques, Qin Fang's achievements in formations almost surpass most experts of the Thousand Gate, even outmatching the Thousand Doors Chess Expert Song Qianqiu whom Qin Fang once knew well.

Such a formation grandmaster, and also a very powerful martial arts expert, if he couldn't crack such a flawed Nine Elements Locking God Formation, he might as well go back to square one!

Pa, pa, pa~~~

Within the Nine Elements Locking God Formation, everything was chaotic, with danger lurking at every moment. Sometimes it was flying sand and stones, sometimes it was a flurry of blade and sword shadows, and sometimes it was a terrifying burst of fist energy...

All of this was created by the Qingyi Iron Guards using the formation; it was not some illusion, but solid attacks. If hit, even someone as strong as Qin Fang would struggle to withstand it.

Yet these attacks, though sharp, could not reveal the shadows of the Qingyi Iron Guards... It was as if they did not exist within the great formation, making defense and counterattacks incredibly difficult.

But... could this really trouble Qin Fang?

Clearly, no!

Pa!!

Without any visible action from Qin Fang, he avoided the sudden lethal attack and casually punched into the void beside him... Instantly, a crisp sound reached his ears, faintly accompanied by someone's cry of pain.

Deep inside the Nine Elements Locking God Formation, Qin Fang could not see what was happening outside, only sensing a slight change within the formation, like a momentary pause in its operation.

However, those outside could see clearly. One of the Qingyi Iron Guards operating the formation was sent flying just like another before... His robust body traced a beautiful arc through the air, landing heavily beside his prior comrade!

Seeing this scene, Cao Yuan, who was struggling against Song Yi and the two others, couldn't help but have his eyes narrow...

Compared to the first Qingyi Iron Guard who was taken off guard, the second was indeed operating the formation yet was still blown away... Without replacements, the Nine Elements Locking God Formation would have nearly been broken.

"Hmph... It's just luck! I don't believe you can hold out for long!"

But Cao Yuan didn't believe that Qin Fang could keep going indefinitely.

Many experts had already testified to the terrors of this Nine Elements Locking God Formation, even grandmaster-level experts had fallen to it, not just one or two... Qin Fang's strength had already impressed him, yet all it was, was merely impressive — far from dismantling the Nine Elements Locking God Formation.

"Idiot..."

To Cao Yuan's self-consolation, Song Yi and the others exchanged a brief glance, internally muttering their disdain, but without showing it...

They knew that Qin Fang had just spared a casual move, without utilizing even a hint of his trump cards...

If he truly used those killer moves, those ten-odd Qingyi Iron Guards wouldn't stand a chance against him... The fact that not one had died showed Qin Fang didn't plan to employ his fiercest tactics yet.

Since Qin Fang wasn't in a hurry, neither were Song Yi and his two companions...

Cao Yuan was indeed formidable, and while holding his own against three, he made the trio feel some strain... But with their mutual support, they could hold him back, as their exhaustions were much less than Cao Yuan's.

Therefore, the longer it took, the worse it would be for Cao Yuan...

Maybe Qin Fang wouldn't need to wipe out all the Qingyi Iron Guards; they might already have Cao Yuan exhausted...

Without Cao Yuan, the Qingyi Iron Guards would lose their commander. As part of The Green Gang, they would only follow the highest-ranking Green Gang leaders present, like... Song Yi and his companions, who were direct descendants of the Six Major Families, and held considerable status within The Green Gang.

"Perhaps, Young Master Qin is playing this game..."

Song Yi and his companions couldn't help but think so.

Of course, whether the Qingyi Iron Guards would obey their orders was something they weren't entirely confident of... Cao Yuan's presence already suggested some questions, whether the Qingyi Iron Guards would continue to follow the orders of The Green Gang or the Six Major Families remained questionable!

For now, things remained unclear... As long as Cao Yuan was alive, he was the commander of the Qingyi Iron Guards, even the Gang Leader himself might not be able to command them!

Pa~~

Again, with a light punch, another Qingyi Iron Guard was blasted away by Qin Fang's fist, spurting blood and landing next to his two former comrades... Meanwhile, Qin Fang remained unscathed, navigating the perilous Nine Elements Locking God Formation with an ease that suggested a leisurely stroll.

Pa~~

Almost in succession, Qin Fang casually punched again, sending yet another unfortunate guard flying, landing heavily beside his predecessors...

These Qingyi Iron Guards were injured and rendered combat ineffective, yet not dead!

Upon careful observation, one might even notice... They all flew out in the same direction, and even the positions where they fell seemed as though they were queuing up on purpose! (To be continued.
