The six from the Moon Cold Sect had two above the Foundation Establishment realm. What they feared, naturally, was Ren Yuanhao’s Taiyi Sword. At this moment, Ren Yuanhao had not drawn the Taiyi Sword, so their pressure immediately lessened.
Moreover, they had heard from Sect Leader Mo that drawing the malevolent sword would severely deplete one’s true qi. Even if the monster standing before them possessed strength no weaker than the Aperture Opening realm, it was likely only at sixty to seventy percent of its power now. If that were the case, with their combined strength, they could definitely contain this monster.
Not only that, but among them, they actually possessed a trump card that would be enough to wear down this monster.
Ren Yuanhao stood firm, his six companions behind him, clad in flowing white robes with extraordinary presence. Coupled with Ren Yuanhao’s own handsome features, the scene was so captivating that the female disciples of the Twilight Cloud Sect and even the Moon Cold Sect members alike yearned for it, their cheeks blushing.
“What, only you have drawn your blade? Are the six wastes behind you preparing to spectate?”
The leader of the Moon Cold Sect, and also their strongest, was named Huang Yue. He wielded a Miao Dao, his stance peculiar, clearly indicating mastery of Western Region blade techniques. His true qi was also not weak; though slightly inferior to Yuan Che, it was by no means negligible.
Ren Yuanhao twisted his neck, a smile still lingering on his face. “Since I am ranked seventh, I am naturally the weakest among my senior brothers and sisters. If you wish to fight them, you should first get past me, shouldn’t you?”
Huang Yue was startled, his brow furrowing. “Are you saying you want to fight all six of us alone?”
To everyone’s surprise, Ren Yuanhao dug his ear and then nodded heavily. “Mm, I suppose so. Weren’t you just discussing with that fellow surnamed Mo? I’m guessing his idea is to have you wear me down. Here, I’m giving you the opportunity. You should seize it well.”
“Damn it, you bastard, you’re underestimating us too much!”
“Do you really think you can be so arrogant just because you tricked your way to victory against Yuan Che with that malevolent sword?”
“Don’t you cry later!”
After uttering fierce threats, several of them drew their blades and swords, their true qi surging, their formations suddenly becoming exceptionally profound!
“It’s the Six Heavenly Constellation Array!”
“The Moon Cold Sect’s sect-protecting formation, is this a miniaturized version?”
“Even a miniaturized version, its power cannot be underestimated. One must know that a hundred years ago, six Foundation Establishment realm experts, using this very formation, managed to kill an Aperture Opening realm expert!”
“That being said, let’s see how well they execute it.”
From below the stage, some knowledgeable observers immediately recognized the formation, whispering to each other with solemn expressions.
After all, the formation’s fame had long echoed throughout the Western Wasteland Desert.
Ren Yuanhao twirled his saber. Tang Feng whispered beside him, “Brother, this is the Six Heavenly Constellation Array. Six individuals as one, offense and defense as one, its techniques are extremely sharp.”
“Relax.”
Ren Yuanhao remained unperturbed, even feeling like lighting a cigarette.
Regarding breaking formations, Ren Yuanhao had taken the opportunity to peruse a portion of the records in the Ji Family Ancient Tower. He had indeed encountered the Six Heavenly Constellation Array before.
As soon as the words left his mouth, the six split into two groups, forming an advantageous pincer, like sharp spears piercing straight at Ren Yuanhao. The first person acted as the spearhead, their true qi naturally the most potent and overbearing. Combined with Huang Yue’s already formidable true qi, this move sent ice shards flying, the momentum becoming quite wild.
Instead of retreating, Ren Yuanhao advanced, holding his saber with one hand. He understood in his heart that the pincer formation relied on integrated offense and defense, not reckless head-on attacks. Therefore, they had definitely held back some countermeasures. Thus, even though this spearhead appeared overwhelmingly powerful, it was by no means the desperate gambit of a suicidal warrior.
Understanding this crucial point, Ren Yuanhao did the opposite, employing a reckless style with the technique “Igniting the Sky” from his Blazing Heavens Saber Art. Up close, he directly slashed upwards diagonally. The moment their true qi collided, Huang Yue was struck by the saber energy and staggered back several steps.
The two individuals in the pincer position, primarily defending, saw the ‘spearhead’ defeated. They immediately drew their swords and slashed diagonally, showing no signs of panic. Even more astonishing was that as the first spearhead failed, the second wave of the spearhead had already entered Ren Yuanhao’s attack range!
This strike, like a trident, arrived suddenly. On the surface, it appeared extremely perilous. Moreover, these individuals were all proficient in the Bewitching Immortal Evasive Body Technique. With this formation’s agility, coupled with their elusive movements, the three streams of energy slammed into Ren Yuanhao. On the surface, it seemed unavoidable.
The audience below the arena gasped, but Ren Yuanhao not only possessed the Drunken Moon Gaze Step but also saber techniques integrated with his footwork. While this move appeared perilous, the six from the Moon Cold Sect had always kept countermeasures in reserve, thus unable to achieve an absolute attack. Ren Yuanhao seized the opportunity and, with a similar gambit-like move, his long saber suddenly slashed out with “Wildfire Spreading”!
True qi surged. Although the three’s momentum was incredibly strong, before Ren Yuanhao, it was like children playing house. They were immediately stunned by his saber technique. The four consecutive attacks were all ineffective, and being held back by just him, the six had already turned pale.
The women in the stands were already hearts fluttering wildly, a mixture of tension, relief, and exclamations, their faces slightly flushed.
Wuli Ti glanced at the situation below and knew that the incomplete Six Heavenly Constellation Array could not contend with that peculiar young man. He immediately blew the whistle around his neck.
As the whistle sounded, the six on the field understood that their Saintess was ready for them to use their trump card.
The exchange between the six and Ren Yuanhao had actually only lasted two moves. Although perilous, neither was enough to restrain Ren Yuanhao. According to the original plan, they were to first use the Six Heavenly Constellation Array to deplete Ren Yuanhao’s stamina and true qi. However, as things stood, that plan had completely failed.
Huang Yue’s gaze shifted, and he retreated with the other five, a fierce glint in his eyes. “Kid, we originally intended to save this move to cripple you. However, since the Six Heavenly Constellation Array could not handle you, we can only let you witness something even more terrifying!”
Ren Yuanhao was certainly not easily intimidated. He held his saber horizontally, his true qi surging back, the pressure so immense that it made the six extremely uncomfortable.
“I know you want to wear me down, but I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you. I don’t have many abilities, I can’t do much of anything, but there’s one thing I find rather interesting, and that is, my true qi is outrageously powerful!”
Huang Yue sneered, “Very good, you’ll soon see what our true strength is!”
The six roared in unison, a horrifying heat surging wildly!
And at this very moment, Ren Yuanhao’s brow furrowed, because from this wildly surging heat, he smelled a frequency exclusive to ability users!
In other words, the six individuals standing before Ren Yuanhao were all ability users.
