Chapter 131: The King of Demonic Beasts

  Hundreds of people simultaneously tapped the top of the Flame Lion, and the Flame Lion's body shook, quickly moving according to direction, instantly forming a mysterious and complex formation diagram. Zhu Tianlei's body shook, and he returned to his original position in an instant.

  With Guo Fei's current understanding, it was naturally apparent that this was a military formation technique that was no weaker than the Six Ding Six Jia Phantom Kill Formation. The pattern of the formation contained the power of heaven and earth, and as soon as it was formed, the sky suddenly darkened, as if the sunlight in this space had been absorbed into the formation. The knight on top of the Blazing Lion's body flashed with red light, and the Wolf Tooth Club emitted waves of crimson light, instantly forming a cluster of flames above it. The flame clusters converged to form a majestic lion, which let out a long roar towards the sky.

  "Hahaha, from now on, my Flame Lion Squad will make a name for itself throughout the continent!" Zhu Tianlei laughed loudly towards the sky, his face revealing an arrogant expression as he looked at Tang Yi behind him. At this critical moment, the troop formation that had never made progress before surprisingly formed the Flame Lion for the first time, and with the array imprint complete, its attack power increased exponentially.

  The military formation's ultimate skill, either imitating objects or shapes, or borrowing the power of heaven and earth, uses the power of yin and yang and the five elements to form a large array. The formation method is mainly defensive or offensive, each with its own wonderful use. Moreover, the formation method is also divided into fixed attribute and non-fixed attribute.

  The Flame Dragon Departing from the Fire Formation is a top-tier technique of the Ming Empire's Earth Stage, while the Flame Lion Heavenly Fire Formation is an intermediate-level formation. The highest realm of the Earth Stage formations is to reach the state where one's will drives power and power follows one's will. However, the higher the level, the more difficult it is to cultivate to perfection. Moreover, both formations are directional formations that must be composed of fire-attribute cultivators.

  Zhu Tianlei cultivated the Flame Lion Heaven Fire Array, he wasn't unwilling to cultivate the Flame Dragon Departing Fire Array, but according to the rules of the Ming Empire's imperial family, as a prince, he also had to have corresponding status and treatment. He wanted to cultivate the Flame Dragon Departing Fire Array for a long time, but the emperor refused him on the grounds that his cultivation was not enough and the Imperial Guard's combat strength was insufficient, leaving him with great resentment in his heart.

  Guo Fei lay on the rattan chair, his heart involuntarily filled with great anger. These royal families were truly rich, and the Six Ding Six Jia Phantom Kill Array he had obtained through hard work was only a defensive phantom array, far inferior to these offensive beast arrays.

  The Blazing Lion leapt into the air, its mouth aglow with a fiery red light. With a single bound, it landed on the rocky riverbank, flames dancing across its body as it charged towards Guo Fei, shaking its head and pouncing forward fiercely. The military formation's ultimate technique was indeed extraordinary, its power rivaling that of a fifth-level spell, and its attack strength varied depending on the level of the cultivators who formed the array, making it even more formidable and durable.

  The red glow on the wolf-toothed club of the Imperial Guard behind him was shining brightly, reflecting off the flames of the lion, and then rushed over.

  "Hush, it seems I haven't reached the Great Completion stage yet." Hu Xiaoyue patted her chest and let out a sigh.

  "Oh? Let's see?" Guo Fei smiled faintly and looked at Hu Xiaoyue, then waved his hand to let the Jiu Ling and Evil Spirit Battle Teams come forward.

  "I've seen it in the classics, introducing this Flame Lion Heaven Fire Formation. When cultivated to perfection, it can remotely gather energy. Now it seems that these knights still need to emit fire elements through their wolf-tooth clubs to nourish this Flame Lion, which is apparently far from enough and also restricts their own movements, requiring constant energy gathering. Secondly, the highest realm of the Flame Lion Heaven Fire Formation will produce a lion-like rolling flame ball, with an enormous power of scorching flames. Unfortunately, this Flame Lion can't even spit out firelight, let alone 'rolling flame balls', it's just a fancy framework, far too inferior. Do they think we're some country bumpkins, trying to intimidate us with such a battle formation?"

  "Xiao Yue sister, do you think our team can stop his Imperial Guard?" Liang Tie looked at the Jiu Ling and E Ling teams as they charged forward, a cold grey mist churning around them, surrounding the Flame Lion's body which was constantly being invaded by flames, its body gradually becoming thinner. The Imperial Guard knights were desperately swinging their wolf-tooth clubs, shooting red lights onto the Flame Lion's body, allowing it to continuously replenish its dwindling flames.

  "It's probably going to be tough, after all the Imperial Guard has over a hundred cultivators, while our team only has twenty-four. Although our cultivation is much higher than theirs, ghost cultivators are most afraid of flames, so it might be difficult to resist." Hu Xiaoyue sighed.

  "Haha. I was going to let them play slowly, probe their bottom line, but it seems that their formation is not yet complete, and it's just like this. Let's end the battle quickly!" Guo Fei's eyes turned cold, his hand stretched out, and the Xuan Tie sword leapt out of its scabbard, entering Guo Fei's hand.

  "Slash!" Guo Fei sat upright in his rattan chair, a sword aura shot out, directly targeting one of the Imperial Guards in front.

  "Be careful!" Zhu Tianlei shouted loudly, the wolf-toothed club flashing, a fiery red light blocking Guo Fei's sword.

  "Hum!" The sword tip pierced through the red light in an instant, and in another instant, it slashed onto the body of one of the Imperial Guards. This person fell to the ground, spitting out fresh blood as he died.

  The flame lion's body, which was flashing with flames all over, suddenly became a bit duller.

  "Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!" Liang Tie fired four arrows in a row, shooting at the Imperial Guard. In an instant, he killed three people, and the three fell to the ground. The Flame Lion grew even dimmer, almost disappearing.

  "Retreat, charge!" Zhu Tianlei finally realized that his own troop's ultimate skill was not proficient enough and couldn't achieve the desired effect. He secretly regretted that he had only been indulging in romantic affairs and hadn't seriously trained his subordinates, resulting in the troop's ultimate skill never reaching perfection. Facing the giant spirit and evil spirit war teams with their own troops, the intimidation effect was lost, and Flame Lion was instead trapped by the gray mist.

  The Imperial Guard scattered and charged forward, these Imperial Guards were all carefully selected fire-attribute cultivators of the Empire, naturally talented and clever, under the nurturing of the Empire's cultivation resources, they had all reached the level of a Venerable, able to release Yuan Qi attacks. Unfortunately, since following Zhu Tianlei, they had experienced very few battles, but had indulged in food, drink, and pleasure instead, and due to being nurtured by large amounts of cultivation resources, their foundation was weak.

  However, the combat strength of these people cannot be underestimated. The hundreds of Taoists are currently the strongest opponents that Guo Fei has encountered.

  "Kill!" Guo Fei shouted loudly, and the Golden Retriever beside him as well as the Earth Spirit Battle Team nearby quickly joined the battle.

  "Out!" Guo Fei smiled slightly, and the Double-Headed Jiao was summoned out as well. This Jiao dragon had been cultivating in the space of the military symbol since it sank into it, and under Liang Tie's battles, it had risen to a fourth-level bow rider. With these energy injections, the Double-Headed Jiao devoted itself to cultivation and finally opened up most of its meridians. Not only was its injury completely healed, but its cultivation also greatly increased, and it had half-stepped into the ranks of the King-level demonic beasts.

  "Roar!" The two-headed crocodile suddenly appeared, letting out a long howl. The Flame Lions quickly retreated a step, their instincts telling them that the enormous creature before them was far more powerful than they were. Instantly, fear flashed in their eyes.

  "King of the demonic beasts!" Zhu Tianlei was shocked, he knew that this time he had kicked an iron plate. The demonic beast, the later it transforms, the higher its level, the stronger its attack power, and once it reaches the king level, although it has not transformed, its attack power will be unparalleled.

  Guo Fei naturally knew this principle, so he was fearless. Unless they had a master of the ethnic group or a large-scale military formation, otherwise it was not an opponent at all.

  "Come on, kid!" The Double-Headed Crocodile let out a loud roar, and Liang Tie hesitated for a moment before leaping onto its back. As soon as they merged, a pale blue vortex flashed, tightly connecting the two together.
