C191 Three Talents Four Symbols Five Elements Array!(2)

During the recent duel, just as the final strike severed Quan Feichen's arm, Woo Zhengyang made a surprising discovery. His sword-shaped genuine Qi, infused with the power of icy cold, seemed to have a remarkable effect on this sword technique.

After several trials, Woo Zhengyang astonishingly broke through the barrier that typically only those at the minor achievement level could surpass, allowing him to execute the first move of the Ink Night Sword Washing Arts.

The sword-shaped genuine Qi and the Ice Crystal Fire Body played a crucial role. The No Life Sword, comparable to a top-tier spiritual weapon, was also vital. Without it, Woo Zhengyang's Qi couldn't have multiplied in power, leaving him unable to make any significant impact.

His aim wasn't just to handle middle or even advanced martial masters. Instead, he engaged in combat with the man wielding a blade to test the sword's power, and the results were highly satisfying.

Of course, this didn't mean Woo Zhengyang could now rival the peak martial masters; he merely gained the ability to defeat them. If the man with the blade had attacked first, Woo Zhengyang wouldn't have been able to withstand even a single blow, let alone counterattack. Even if they struck simultaneously, Woo Zhengyang's speed would still fall short of a peak martial master's.

Woo Zhengyang didn't elaborate further, and the others understood the unspoken rule not to press for more details. The man with the blade demonstrated his other techniques, while Woo Zhengyang focused on studying the group's coordinated formation.

This time, Woo Zhengyang chose a rather complex formation: the Three Talents, Four Symbols, and Five Elements Formation. This formation allows for seamless transitions between the Three Talents, Four Symbols, and Five Elements setups, corresponding to the combined efforts of three, four, and five people, respectively. When executed properly, a combined strike from five people could potentially take down even a strong opponent at the early Shape Gathering Stage.

After explaining the intricacies of this formation, the five of them began practicing before anyone else had the chance. Woo Zhengyang continued to refer to the four others by titles like Blade Man and Spearman for easier coordination, which also served as a tribute. He never knew the names of those four martial disciples.

An hour passed as the five familiarized themselves with the formation. By now, they were thoroughly convinced of Woo Zhengyang's mastery and were amazed by his leadership. Their confidence in reaching the end was unwavering.

Finally, all the martial masters' gates opened, signaling the arrival of the second wave of battle! As this wave approached, a peculiar power infused itself into the weapons of Woo Zhengyang and his team.

The Essence of Death!

With the Essence of Death enhancing their weapons, both speed and power increased significantly, boosting their combat effectiveness. However, this power would only remain as long as all five were alive; if even one fell, the Essence of Death would vanish.

In No Life City, a significant number of disciples from the four major factions gathered, along with many independent cultivators at the Reality Condensing Stage. While the number of Martial Masters was less than that of Martial Disciples, there were still over a thousand, with seventy percent wielding swords.

Woo Zhengyang faced the greatest threat, so his group insisted that unless absolutely necessary, they should not switch the Five Elements Formation, keeping Woo Zhengyang protected within it. However, Woo Zhengyang disagreed. He believed in using the Five Elements and Four Symbols Formations as much as possible, only switching to the Three Talents Formation in extreme danger.

From the beginning, Woo Zhengyang was preparing not for the second wave of slaughter, but for the third wave composed of experts at the Shape Gathering Stage.

As the first batch of cultivators arrived at No Life Square, it transformed into a world of chaos and bloodshed. Woo Zhengyang and his team of five quickly formed a unit, gaining a significant advantage. Even groups of several opponents couldn't match them, let alone individuals. Under the Five Elements Formation, even a Peak Martial Master could be defeated by their combined attack.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, No Life Square was deserted, and the reputation of the "Killing God Squad" spread rapidly. Woo Zhengyang and his team didn't pursue others. Most of the No Life weapons were in their possession, so even if another team captured the rest, they still held the upper hand, making things much easier.

Of course, this was unlikely to last. An hour later, another well-armed team of five appeared before them.

Everyone knew the rules and understood the power of Woo Zhengyang and his team's weapons. Yet, they felt compelled to take a risk. Their group had only one Peak Martial Master, and they believed that acquiring the weapons from Woo Zhengyang's team was their only chance to succeed.

The key factor was that someone, much like a gunman, had once guarded the outskirts of the canyon where the cave entrance was. They recognized Woo Zhengyang as a Martial Disciple, which presented them with an opportunity.

The moment this small team made their move, they aimed to eliminate Woo Zhengyang with full force. Woo Zhengyang, not daring to underestimate them, immediately switched to the Four Symbols Formation, launching an attack with sword energy.

Meanwhile, the other four members of Woo Zhengyang's team had a clear target: the Peak Martial Master in the opposing group. The small team was caught off guard by the seemingly casual formation of Woo Zhengyang's group, which actually concealed a strategic array. The Peak Martial Master was swiftly taken down by the combined assault of the four Blade Men.

With their strongest fighter defeated, the remaining four members posed little threat. Some even considered retreating, but ultimately, they were defeated one by one by Woo Zhengyang's team.

Following this encounter, more teams began to challenge Woo Zhengyang's group, even forming alliances. However, under the mysterious and unpredictable formation, none survived. From this point on, Woo Zhengyang's team truly lived up to their reputation as the "Killing Gods Squad."
