The old man estimated that they would lose at least ten people. But even if they lost twenty or thirty people, they still had to break the formation.
Hence, the old man gave the order to split into three groups and bring thirty people in. Then, they began to break the formation.
Breaking the formation was a complicated process. Old Jin, Old Yin, and Old Hu each brought ten people into the formation.
At the same time, Qinchuan ordered the Formation Devouring Beast and the people from the City Lord Residence to hunt and disrupt the formation.
The formation was very sturdy and impregnable. Without the so-called God's Eye, it was impossible to find any flaws. There was no hope of breaking the formation.
The longer time passed, the more shocked the three old men became. After a quarter of an hour, three people had died and the first formation gate was broken.
This was like a thousand-mile dike being destroyed by an ant's nest. The first gate was like an enlarged ant's nest. Once this gate was broken, it meant that the formation was definitely going to be broken.
Another one struck and another formation gate was destroyed. This time, however, five people died.
Old Jin and the rest frowned. This formation had a total of nine gates, but they had to break five of them before the formation would collapse.
Two formation gates had directly lost eight people.
"Break the formation!" The three old men no longer had a path of retreat. They increased the speed of breaking the formation.
The City Lord Residence also increased the intensity of their attacks. Especially the Formation Devouring Beast, it was like a fish in water within the formation. With the help of the others, at least a third of the credit would go to it. Otherwise, it would only be able to kill ten people at most.
But now, without thirty people dying here, they could forget about breaking the formation.
Huyan Jie sent another twenty people. His brows were already tightly knitted together. This small City Lord Residence was actually like a dragon's pool and tiger's den. So many people had died to a formation.
He really couldn't believe it. Old Jin and the other two were formation masters. They were the top formation masters in the entire Jianglang County. But now, the three of them had joined forces, and with a treasure, they had actually suffered such heavy losses.
Who was this formation master of the other party? If they could win him over, the strength of the Jianglang County Residence would rise to another level.
* Rumble … *
The formation was already on the verge of collapse. But with thirty-three experts from the Jianglang County Residence dying here, the formation was broken.
Both sides were now facing each other head-on. There were also dozens of people in the City Lord's Mansion.
At the same time, the formation was broken.
He launched a ferocious attack!
Qinchuan had already activated the Ten Flowers Deity Position and the Sacred Buddha Five Elemental Formation. He had also summoned a few demonic beasts and treasure beasts.
The moment the formation was broken.
Golden Earth Dragon Thrust!
Great Earth Marsh!
Divine Eye Immortal Might!
Yin Yang Hand Covers the Sky, Divine Dragon Seal!
Soaring Dragon!
Godly Hole Drilling!
…
At the same time, Patriarch Fei Xue Long, Fei Xue Hongji, and the other strongest members of the Fei Xue Clan all unleashed their most ferocious attacks under the amplification of the Ten Flowers Divine Seat and the formation.
One side was caught unprepared, while the other side was hastily prepared, while the other side was fully prepared.
Huyan Jie's expression changed. He had been too careless. He had been too careless. He had never imagined that his opponent would be so fierce in the face of death.
In Huyan Jie's eyes, this was a final struggle before death.
In just a single exchange, Huyan Jie's side had lost over a dozen people. Over a dozen people had died, and over a dozen others had been injured. Some were seriously injured, some were lightly injured. For a moment, they were in an incomparably sorry state. One of the unlucky experts had been directly killed by the Diamond Rat Treasure.
Activate the formation!
With a roar, the illusory image of a water dragon enveloped the remaining people, stabilizing the situation. As for the people from the city lord's estate, after their successful attack, they immediately retreated.
The two sides faced off. Huyan Jie's face was incomparably ashen.
Of the three elders, Elder Jin, Elder Yin, and Elder Hu, one had perished.
At the level of these three elders, every single one of them was a treasure.
Huyan Jie stared at the leading elder.
The elder's face was currently glowing, and his expression was one of excitement. There was no hint of fear on his face. This didn't seem to be a final struggle. It seemed as though he had been prepared for this all along.
"Huyan Jie, you've gone too far!" Fei Xue Long roared at Huyan Jie.
"Fei Xue Long, you don't know what's good for you. Our Riverwave Prefectural Estate has agreed to a marriage alliance with you because we think highly of you. Yet, you actually killed my people first!" Huyan Jie roared back, his eyes cold.
"I killed your people first? If it weren't for the fact that you didn't give my Silksnow clan a chance to survive, I would've done it. Ah well, there's no point in talking about this now. Even if my Silksnow clan is exterminated, it'll be worth it, "Fei Xue Long said loudly.
His voice was filled with boldness, without the slightest hint of disappointment. He had come to terms with everything. Whether it was a blessing or a curse, it didn't matter. If he stuck his head out or hid his head, he'd still have to face the blade.
"Now that the formation has been broken, I want to see just what you'll use to fight me. Right, Fei Xue Long, I didn't expect your Silksnow clan to be able to invite such a powerful formation master. Who might it be? Let me, Huyan Jie, pay my respects."
"Me!" Qinchuan smiled as he walked out.
"You?" Huyan Jie looked at Qian Chuan, frowning.
He was too young. So young that he couldn't believe it at all.
"You're just a kid who still smells of his mother's milk, yet you still dare to boast shamelessly. Step aside," Huyan Jie said impatiently, feeling as though he had been played.
"I said that the Huyan Clan might disappear. What do you think?" Qinchuan said coolly.
Huyan Jie's eyes narrowed, and his heart trembled. He himself wouldn't believe what he was saying, but when he heard that the Huyan Clan was about to disappear, he couldn't help but feel his heart tremble.
Every member of the Huyan Clan was filled with an unparalleled sense of honor. They were proud to be members of the Huyan Clan, and in the Jianglang Commandery, the Huyan Clan was like the heavens. They could do whatever they wanted, and anyone who saw them would have to treat them with respect. That was because they were members of the Huyan Clan, and they had a towering tree supporting them.
If the Huyan Clan disappeared, he simply couldn't believe it.
A general's success was built on the bones of ten thousand people. For a clan to rise to prominence, it had to trample over the corpses of countless other clans. There were quite a few who would pull up weeds by the roots, but there were even more who couldn't. If you had power and influence, then it wasn't a big deal. But if you lost power and didn't have enough power, then the entire clan would be destroyed.
"You're courting death!" Huyan Jie looked at Qinchuan.
"I know that you think that the Huyan Clan is amazing, and that they are the rulers of the Jianglang Commandery. But you should know that this is only on the surface. Haven't you heard that there is no such thing as an everlasting clan, and there is no such thing as an everlasting dynasty? How many years has the Huyan Clan been around for? Three thousand years, right?
"Attack, kill him!" Huyan Jie's heart was in chaos. He didn't know why, but sometimes, people were like this. The more they cared, the more they would worry about personal gains and losses.
