Chapter 158: Formation Breach

At this moment, the torrent of Geng Metal blades was unleashed.

The blades rushed forth like a surging river, continuously pounding against the two ghost generals.

The numerous small blades relentlessly struck the black armor, creating massive impacts that caused the two ghosts to continually retreat, unable to approach Elder Li and the others.

The black armor made of ghostly energy began to disintegrate under the torrent's assault.

Seeing the effects, Elder Li's eyes lit up with surprise, and he shouted:

"Ding Fire!"

Before the Geng Metal blades had completely dissipated, a fire dragon several dozen meters long slowly took shape.

The fire dragon roared and breathed fire, its might impressive.

Li Jiangu's eyes flickered with a hint of panic.

Ding Fire was a form of celestial Yang fire with a touch of solar power. This type of pure Yang power was second only to lightning in its ability to harm ghosts.

Li Jiangu panicked, and the Li Family cultivators outside the formation also fell into chaos.

As soon as the formation barrier was erected, many Li Family cultivators launched a full-scale attack on the barrier, trying to break it and rescue their ancestor.

However, even with the five Foundation Establishment cultivators and a hundred Qi Refinement cultivators at the late stage, they could not forcibly break through the formation.

"Stop attacking!"

A female Li Family cultivator suddenly shouted.

"This formation is the Five Elements Rotating Formation. It has the power to convert the energies of the five elements. If attacks of mixed elemental energies hit the formation, they will be absorbed and countered by the formation."

"To forcibly break the formation, you must use attacks of a single element. Once the formation absorbs an excess of a single element's energy, it will disrupt the balance of the Five Elements, causing the formation to collapse."

Hearing this, the Li Family cultivators stopped attacking and looked at the female cultivator, clearly waiting for her instructions on which elemental energy to use.

The female cultivator shouted:

"Our Li Family is founded on water-based techniques. Use water-based spells to attack the formation barrier."

Upon her command, the cultivators began casting water-based spells and invoking water-type techniques.

Water columns fell from the sky, roaring water dragons, ice crystal arrows, freezing cold winds...

Various water-based techniques gradually formed and surged towards the formation barrier.

Countless attacks struck the formation barrier, causing continuous deafening roars.

The formation barrier flickered violently, as if it were on the verge of shattering.

Elder Li, who was controlling the fire dragon, suddenly staggered as if struck heavily. He felt a sharp pain in his chest and spurted blood, staining his front with red.

"Elder Li!"

Wang Yi exclaimed, his eyes filled with concern.

Elder Li's gaze remained sharp, his eyes fixed on the two ghost generals as he controlled the fire dragon in the air, roaring and charging forward.

"I'm fine. Focus on maintaining the formation."

...

Two miles away, Song Wen, who was focusing on devouring the bodies found by the black beetles, saw this scene and noticed the Li Family cultivators attacking the formation. His eyes flickered with killing intent.

"I can't let you ruin my plans. I'm counting on Wang Yi and the others to deal with Li Jiangu while I take the opportunity to grab the Xuan Yin Stones."

The seven black beetles scattered in various locations suddenly flew towards the Li Family cultivators on the edge of the battlefield.

The female Foundation Establishment cultivator attacking the formation barrier suddenly noticed several of her subordinates collapse without warning from a distance.

Before she could react, more of her subordinates fell.

Scanning with her spiritual sense, she discovered several tiny bugs as small as grains of rice.

The female cultivator quickly shouted.

"Everyone be careful! The enemy has hidden traps with tiny bugs as small as grains of rice controlling the attack."

Upon hearing the warning, the Li Family cultivators immediately became alert, expanding their spiritual senses to guard against the bugs. As they were distracted, their spellcasting slowed down, and their attacks weakened, reducing the pressure on the rotating formation.

Seeing that only a few people had been killed by the black beetles before being discovered, Song Wen, somewhat disappointed, recalled the beetles.

The black beetles were only at the Qi Refinement stage and could be easily killed if they got close to Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Within the formation, the fire dragon descended before the two ghost generals, opening its massive jaws to bite the green-faced ghost general and whipping its tail towards the red-haired ghost general.

The two high-level ghost generals, comparable to Foundation Establishment late-stage cultivators, seemed tiny before the giant fire dragon, yet they fought back fiercely.

Although it appeared to be a stalemate, the solar energy from the fire dragon was rapidly depleting the ghosts' ghostly energy.

After about thirty breaths, the solar energy was exhausted, and the fire dragon dwindled to mere sparks, dissipating.

Seeing this, Li Jiangu sighed with relief, knowing that if the fire dragon had lasted longer, the two ghost generals might have been gradually worn down.

Even with just thirty breaths, the two ghost generals had suffered severe depletion of their ghostly energy, and their ghostly armor had nearly vanished.

Before Li Jiangu could enjoy his respite, another fire dragon slowly took shape.

Li Jiangu's heart sank, and he quickly shouted towards the formation's outer edge.

"Hurry up and break the formation! I can't hold out much longer."

A dragon's roar echoed through the heavens and the earth.

The fire dragon attacked again.

Li Jiangu, unable to withstand the fire dragon with his mortal body, could only order the two ghost generals to block the fire dragon once more.

The severely weakened ghost generals were encircled by the fire dragon's massive form, suffering as if trapped in a fiery hell.

Their ghostly energy rapidly diminished, and their ethereal forms began to become transparent.

Seeing this, Li Jiangu's face turned frantic. If the fire dragon continued, the two ghost generals would be obliterated, their souls scattered.

He waved his hand, and the two ghost generals transformed into two gusts of Yin wind, drilling into the ghost-rearing bags at his waist.

Without the ghost generals blocking them, the fire dragon roared towards Li Jiangu.

A fist-sized transparent water droplet suddenly appeared in front of Li Jiangu. This droplet, extracted from countless rivers and lakes, was a rare water-elemental spirit treasure known as Kui Yin heavy water.

The water droplet formed a thin water curtain, creating a water shield in front of him.

"Boom!"

The fire dragon crashed into the water curtain, spewing intense flames and scorching heat.

It was as if half the formation was swallowed by a sea of fire.

However, the thin water curtain formed by Kui Yin heavy water blocked the raging flames.

Despite this, the powerful impact of the fire dragon pushed Li Jiangu rapidly towards the formation barrier.

"Bang!"

Li Jiangu collided heavily with the formation barrier, spewing a mouthful of blood and sustaining significant internal injuries.

Outside the formation, the Li Family cultivators grew increasingly anxious, using all their strength to cast water-based spells to attack the formation barrier.

Suddenly!

The flowing azure light on the formation barrier dimmed abruptly. The brilliant, multi-colored barrier instantly turned grayish-brown.

Like bubbles bursting on sharp objects, the formation barrier suddenly exploded into countless sparks, dissipating into the void.
