Chapter 759

Military city.

Wu Tie watched as the Mysterious Dark Elders laid out the grand formation.

Nine Heavens Supervising Talisman Mysterious Dark Grand Formation, its formation's essence is very simple—transform Mysterious Dark into the laws of heaven and earth, then use those laws to forcibly alter heaven and earth, letting heaven and earth become a Mysterious Dark world, letting terrifying cold intent, letting thick ice frost, become the masters of all things.

Within this grand formation, any other laws are not allowed to exist.

Absolute, extreme, overbearing, ruthless.

Such a grand formation is also a secret transmission of the Wu tribe.

Besides the Nine Heavens Supervising Talisman Mysterious Dark Grand Formation, the Wu tribe's Zhurong lineage has a similar Twelve Capital Heavens Mars Grand Formation; the Wu tribe's Gonggong lineage likewise has a similar Innate Ren-Gui Vast Sea Grand Formation; even the Wu tribe's Xingtian lineage has a similar Pangu One Qi Slay Heaven Grand Formation, etc.

But……

"He's a cripple!" Wu Tie looked at the grand formation and coldly laughed without cease.

In the secret place of the military city, Wu Prison and the other Wu tribe elders also laughed strangely again and again. The Nine Heavens Supervising Talisman Mysterious Dark Grand Formation—within the Wu tribe, it has a complete transmission. The Wu tribe, however, is a complete transmission preserved from the ancient mythological era, akin to a civilization seed.

The Mysterious Dark Elders considered their formation exquisite and overbearing, but in Wu Tie's eyes…… it was just a cripple.

And the cripple formation's flaw…… hehe.

Wu Tie looked toward that relatively short and thin ice pillar. Within that ice pillar were forty-nine struggling tribe elders. These Academy Tribe elders each had cultivation reaching the Fifth Heaven of the Divine Realm or higher, and they had all received the empowerment of the Ice Spirit Divine Clan's supreme divine artifact, the trident.

However, compared to the Mysterious Dark Elders, their forty-nine combined strength was still far weaker.

Moreover, they completely did not understand the Mysterious Dark Grand Formation, merely passively standing within it, passively serving as a formation base pillar. They fundamentally could not coordinate with the eleven Mysterious Dark Elders' mana circulation and divine ability usage, merely barely propping up this grand formation.

The leader of the Mysterious Dark Elders was covered head to toe in thick ice frost, large sheets of rune-shaped ice crystals constantly spraying from his body, howling as they scattered in all directions, turning everything they touched into thick ice.

He pointed at Wu Tie's direction and shouted sternly: "Wuguo young lord, dare to fight? If you dare enter the formation and come out unharmed, the elders will immediately turn and leave, never again infringing on even a thread of Wuguo's land."

Wu Tie's pupils suddenly brightened; he leapt onto the city gate tower and stood firm, pointing at the formation's direction and sternly rebuking: "Not enough, not enough, I, the king, will wager my life to play with you; besides having you drag all your dog offspring back north, you must also leave behind all the Wuguo civilians you have plundered."

"All wealth, all grain, all weapons and armor, all left behind!"

Wu Tie exerted his full mana, his voice shaking ten thousand li; countless tribe warriors heard his words.

Many elders and warriors of the mid-sized and small tribes' faces turned grim…… asking them to abandon spoils of war and flee so dispiritedly back north? Impossible!

The Mysterious Dark Elders laughed simultaneously, each one's face twisting as they snarled: "Good!"

Countless mid-sized and small tribe elders and warriors' faces suddenly darkened; in their hearts, they inexplicably developed great resentment toward these elders who were not their direct lineage.

If it weren't for insufficient strength……

Perhaps, someone on the scene would stab these Mysterious Dark Elders in the back or shoot hidden arrows.

Obviously, the Mysterious Dark Elders disdain to deal with them; thus, the grievances of these mid-sized and small tribes all surged toward the six strongest tribes. Who let them, for the blood sacrifice, the warriors of the six great tribes still slaughtered so many mid-sized and small tribe warriors?

The aura of the entire Snow Plains Tribe Alliance army became strange; many warriors already lacked fighting spirit.

Wu Tie again gathered his mana and shouted sternly: "You swear, if I, the king, can enter the formation and still leave safely, you will abandon all spoils of war, roll back to the Snow Plains, and thereafter for all eternity never take another step south!"

The Mysterious Dark Elders grinned, each one laughing hideously: "We swear, we swear, we swear now, hehe, as you say, as you say……"

They immediately pierced their hearts, took out their heart's essence blood, and swore an extremely vicious soul blood oath.

The blood oath soul bead slowly floated to Wu Tie's face; the leader of the Mysterious Dark Elders eagerly roared: "Come, come, come, Wuguo young lord, hurry in. Ha, haha, if you alone dare not enter the formation, you may bring more people."

The Mysterious Dark Elders' eyes flashed with murderous light, hideously staring at Wu Tie, viciously sweeping over the Wuguo affiliates standing beside him.

Their seven old brothers have fallen, ah.

Seven brothers who shared life and death have perished at the hands of Wu Tie and company.

They have already laid out the Mysterious Dark Grand Formation, and they eagerly wish to use its power to kill Wu Tie and company entirely.

Wu Tie laughed loudly, taking large strides toward the Mysterious Dark Grand Formation.

Xi Wule spat a mouthful of phlegm heavily onto the ground, then shouted sternly: "Wu Tie, there are not just one hero under heaven……"

Holding a long spear entwined with electric light, Xi Wule was about to follow Wu Tie into the formation when Cang Hai Daoist appeared beside him via instantaneous translocation, lightly shaking his head to stop him.

"Cousin, between my true self and us, there is a secret method that draws us; even if we encounter danger, we can return instantly…… Do you have such a life-preserving secret technique?"

Xi Wule stared in astonishment at the Cang Hai Daoist.

He clenched his teeth and spat out a few words from between his teeth: "You guys, are you digging pits to trap people?"

If Wu Tie's true self and his three corpse incarnations had such a secret method allowing instantaneous return at any time…… then what exactly does the agreement previously reached between Wu Tie and the Mysterious Dark Elders amount to?

The Mysterious Dark Elders used the Snow Plains Tribe's proactive retreat to lure Wu Tie into the formation, while Wu Tie simply played a trick.

"You guys, you're really not interesting!" Xi Wule muttered resentfully.

As an introverted, steady person, Xi Wule likes solid, down-to-earth combat.

Even if the enemy is even stronger?

Combat that is bursting with hot blood, fervent passion, open and aboveboard, upright and proper, like that of a true hero—this is, in Xi Wule's heart, his entire understanding of combat.

But Wu Tie and those Mysterious Dark Elders are sometimes really not interesting.

However, Xi Wule is overly honest and simple, and he did not notice the flash of ruthlessness in the eyes of the Cang Hai Daoist, Yin Yang Daoist, and Five Elements Daoist.

Let these Snow Plains Tribe warriors retreat unharmed back to the northern Snow Plains?

How could that be possible?

Those Wuguo civilians already dead, those Wuguo civilians slaughtered like livestock…… how could Wu Tie let their killers retreat so peacefully back to the Snow Plains?

Wu Tie strode forward toward the Mysterious Dark Grand Formation, while flying aloft, he shouted sternly: "I know what you old fogies are thinking. You want to behead me, the king, leaving Wuguo without a leader, plunging it into utter chaos!"

"But I, the king, am not afraid…… to dispel the flames of war, for the common people of the world…… I, the king, have come."

Cold light and Cold Qi rushed toward him; Wu Tie stepped one foot into the Mysterious Dark Grand Formation.

He immediately entered the icy world evolved within the formation.

A vast world spanning nearly ten million li in every direction, everywhere is icy snowscapes, everywhere thick profound ice; besides cold, one feels nothing else here.
