Chapter 128: Formation vs Formation

  Campsite.

  Su Fuyan, Baihegu, Fang Chun, and Su Dong gathered in the same tent. Su Fuyan cleared his throat and said to Su Dong, "Repeat what you just told me to them as well. We're all colleagues from the Divine Realm, it's no big deal."

  Su Dong nodded slightly and said, "I think that under the current circumstances it's not suitable to continue advancing northwards, it's better to first send out scouts to reconnoiter."

  Su Dong finished speaking, and both Bai He Gu and Fang Chun burst out laughing, with a hint of disdain. After all, Su Dong was too young, and he dared to stop the advance northward, which made them doubt the strategy of the command center.

  "The commander of the Second Legion, Bai He Gu Dao, said: 'Tell me your reason. Now that we have won all the way and cleanly, why can't we continue to pursue?'"

  Su Dong said faintly, "It's precisely because we've been too smooth sailing all along that we can't continue to advance recklessly. From what I know, the Dark Blood Clan isn't considered a particularly strong demonic force, but it's not like they're invincible either. These guys don't have brains and aren't afraid of death, but you've discovered that as long as it's close combat, they'll definitely retreat, and even organize a fairly weak resistance. This is very unusual."

  Fang Chun said in a deep voice, "The gap in strength is too great. Although we are all young warriors from various families, among us, Wei Ling, who has the highest rank, can even fight evenly with our three army commanders. Before the age of thirty, he can already seal his divinity in the Divine Realm!"

  "Such an army would be a top-notch force even in the realm of gods, those dark blood clans are not their match at all, it's strange if they don't flee."

  Su Dong shook his head and argued: "Things without thinking will never escape because of fear, they can only escape if someone gives an order or signals them to escape."

  "Oh, you're talking about Meng Lan. He's the king of the Dark Blood Clan. He found that he wasn't a match for us, so he had his subordinates retreat. It's not hard to understand. Now we've already killed more than half of the enemy army. We're just one step away from driving them back to the sky. If there weren't sufficient reasons, we wouldn't be stopping here."

  Su Dong said calmly, "Of course I have a reason. Firstly, I've seen Mian Lan before. If my judgment isn't wrong, his fighting power should be on par with yours, and he has a group of people around him, a group of unpossessed masters. Putting it all together, they have the strength to engage in an all-out battle with us, but why doesn't he do so?"

  "To know, the more he retreats, the more subordinates will be killed. If this continues, he won't even have the strength to fight a decisive battle. I don't think all enemies are fools. Suppose it's me, even if all my subordinates die, as long as I can take down one-third of the three major legions, that would be a heavy blow to the divine domain and also a kind of victory!"

  "Secondly, we are getting farther and farther away from the Wall of Gods. Although I have never been to the Divine Realm, I still have some basic knowledge about it. The Demon Realm is in the north of the Sky Continent, while the Divine Realm is south of the Wall of Gods. The farther away we are, the longer it will take for rescue to arrive."

  "Now we are very close to the Demon Realm, assuming we encounter a formidable enemy, asking for help from the Divine Realm would take a considerable amount of time to catch up with us, and if the Demon Realm sends reinforcements, they will arrive before we do."

  "If I were the commander of the opposing side, I would definitely find a way to destroy us. The young elite of the Divine Realm are very powerful, and as long as we eliminate this batch of people, it's equivalent to eliminating the future of the Divine Realm!"

  Fang Chun listened and frowned, saying: "Suppose you are the commander of the opposing side? Everyone is an individual, how can you make such a conjecture?"

  "Why can't it be? Since it's war, of course we must consider the problem from our own perspective, but also from the enemy's standpoint." Su Dong retorted.

  "What a pity, you are not the commander of the enemy!" Fang Chun said in a deep voice: "Fu Nian brother, I and He Gu have reached an agreement. Taking advantage of the enemy's chaos, we will speed up the pursuit. After resting for another hour, we will set out overnight. Your nephew's words are not unreasonable, but he is overthinking."

  There's a message in the words, Fang Chun is telling Su Fu Nian that even if the vote is two to one, the legion will still continue to advance and won't stop because of Su Dong's suspicion.

  Su Fuyan smiled slightly and said with a chuckle, "I was temporarily sent here, you guys discuss and handle these things yourselves. Su Dong, you've already said what needed to be said, let's head back."

  Having said that, Su Fuyuan stood up and bid farewell to the two of them, taking Su Dong out of the tent.

  All the way hard pursuit, these young warriors tired enough, lying in the tent, all sleeping very well.

  Su Dong couldn't help but frown at this scene, this was simply a tired and exhausted pursuer!

  Looking up at the sky, Su Fu Nian said in a low voice: "How confident are you that there will be an ambush ahead?"

  Su Dong said: "Nine out of ten."

  Physiognomy won't lie, Su Dong has already argued with reason and strength, just short of bringing out the Qimen secret technique. Of course, even if Su Dong brings out the Qimen secret technique, no one will believe it, after all, this is Su Dong's own thing.

  "Alright, I'll inform our clan to send reinforcements on the road. As for other families, we can't control them." Su Fuyan said in a deep voice: "You'll get used to it later, the struggle in the divine realm is so fierce, and many of the big families are mutually hostile to each other."

  Su Dong was taken aback, Su Fuyuan's trust in him was unconditional, which moved Su Dong.

  Su Dong thought for a moment and said, "Uncle, I have something with me that might come in handy."

  "What is it?" Su Fu asked curiously.

  "Perhaps something that can save our lives." Su Dong's hand gently wiped the oversized spatial ring, saying in a low voice.

  The gathering horn blows again, and the warriors, exhausted, once more set foot on the road to pursue northward.

  Although exhausted, these young people are in high spirits. After all, they have killed too much this time! The Divine Realm does not allow slaughter, and this time everyone has killed enough to make a profit, killing until their hands are numb!

  Apart from the 6,800 young warriors, there were also many guards sent by families like Hua Xixi's, who no longer hid and followed their masters, showing off their might.

  The total number of people exceeded 10,000, and it indeed looked invincible, really powerful!

  Su Dong called Su Ning, Su Tingfeng, Su Tingyu, and Hua Yingyue to his side, being cautious. As for Qin Yin, she came uninvited, and seemed to be familiar with Hua Yingyue. Along the way, she showed off her three innate stars, Po Yin.

  Before long, it was already dawn. At this time, the three major legions had already entered the northern border of the frozen wilderness all year round, and the surrounding area was white and vast.

  The warriors from the south had never seen ice and snow, most of them looked very curious, grabbed a handful of snow to taste in their mouths, even started a snowball fight, the atmosphere was very relaxed.

  The troops ahead suddenly stopped moving, standing still in their tracks. Su Dong rushed to the front of the army and took a closer look, only to see that a military force had appeared in the distance. The defeated Dark Blood Clan puppets were gathering together, as if preparing for a final counterattack.

  The number of enemies was numerous, and their momentum was also very fierce. However, Su Dong furrowed his brow deeply because among these enemies, the Dark Blood Clan's King, Meng Lan, was still nowhere to be seen. Even those high-ranking commanders were not present.

  "No reason at all? If they really wanted to counterattack, why didn't they mobilize their strongest forces?" Su Dong muttered to himself.

  Qin Yue said, "Don't think you're the only smart person in this world. The several commanders are all very powerful figures in the divine realm. They wouldn't dare to do so unless they have a backing. It's been rumored for a long time that there is an internal line in the demon realm."

  Su Dong was taken aback and curiously asked: "Are you saying that someone in the Demon Realm is actually serving the Divine Realm? In other words, a spy?"

  Qin Yue said, "What's so strange about this? Don't you think that these warriors are the elite of each family, and they wouldn't dare to let them out to take risks without being sure? It's even possible that Cang Tian Xia has been monitored long ago, and if there's any movement over there, we'll definitely be the first to know."

  Su Dong stopped talking, of course he didn't believe that the leader of the three legions would be a fool, but his premonition wouldn't be wrong. The mysterious technique of Qimen was something passed down by ancestors for generations, and these warriors had an aura of evil on their faces, which was absolutely a sign of an impending group threat.

  Just as Su Dong was thinking, the Charge Number made a loud noise, and the three legions began to charge forward.

  "Kill these guys! They're the last of the defeated army!"

  "Kill them and it's a perfect ending to the battle! We'll be heroes of the Northern Continent!"

  "Hurry up and make a move! Who knows when we'll have another real battle again!"

  In an instant, the morale of the crowd was boosted. These young warriors were like killing machines, rushing forward with their lives on the line. In the blink of an eye, they found themselves entangled in a fierce battle with the remnants of the dark blood clan!

  Undoubtedly, the legion of the divine domain has a small number, but its level is high and its combat power is unmatched! These dark blood clan puppets are simply no match.

  It was strange that this time the enemy did not flee, even though they were being killed like falling flowers and flowing water, they still persisted with all their might.

  Something unusual must be an omen!

  Su Dongyue felt more and more that something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

  Suddenly, an abnormal change occurred!

  In the snowy ground all around, twenty-four black stone pillars suddenly rose up, each one over ten meters high, with strange totems carved on top!

  At the same time, an invisible boundary rose up, just like the boundary that confined Su Dong when the Creation God sealed off the sky. The difference was that this boundary was transparent and could still see into the distance.

  Along with the remnants of the Dark Blood Clan and the three major legions of the Divine Domain, they were all trapped! Su Dong speculated that those defeated generals were just bait, this was a long-planned conspiracy!

  A flash of lightning, and a figure appeared in mid-air, positioned right at the center of the twenty-four stone pillars, as if he was floating. He muttered to himself, his hands weaving an eerie pattern.

  "Oh no! This is a magic array! We've entered the enemy's formation!" Someone shouted in a fluster, snapping Su Dong out of his stunned state.

  Twenty-four black stone pillars stand in a row, isn't this an array gate! ?

  Each of the stone pillars had strange carvings on them, which shone brightly and seemed to have spiritual energy flowing through them, providing the necessary power for the formation.

  Formation!

  This is actually an array!

  Since his rebirth, Su Dong, who was skilled in array techniques, had encountered an enemy who was also skilled in array techniques for the first time!

  Pah! Su Dong pushed with both hands, pushing the people around him away! Even Hua Yingyue was ruthlessly pushed out of several meters, almost falling to the ground!

  Whoosh! With a flick of her wrist, Su Dong evenly arranged her magical instruments, forming a perfect layout - the Sixteen Gates Great Array!

  The enemy's formation is very powerful, controlling an area of tens of kilometers in diameter. Even Su Dong can't do it over such a vast distance! After all, the larger the formation, the more spiritual power is consumed, and the difficulty of controlling the formation will also increase accordingly.

  Judging solely by the formation and layout, the enemy's formation is undoubtedly much stronger than Su Dong's.

  With a loud "slap", both hands thrust the three large Dharma instruments into the soil, Su Dong's hands formed a strange gesture, and he sat down on the ground, as quiet as an old monk in meditation.

  The scene is very strange, with a person sitting in the sky and another person sitting directly below on the ground.

  Qimen formation against demonic formation! Twenty-four gate formation against sixteen gate formation!

  The war will break out at any moment!
