Chapter 279: Nine Nether Earth-Sha Formation

On the competition stage, over a hundred "Li Feis" were constantly emitting white steam, with majestic momentum!

These steams connected into one piece, making the space above the competition stage "cloudy and misty."

On the other side, Gan Jingcheng stood there "all alone."

It was hard to imagine this was a one-on-one match...

Gan Jingcheng's mouth twitched, wanting to say something.

Before he could speak, Li Fei already had new movements.

Over a hundred "Li Feis" quickly surrounded Gan Jingcheng, each standing at a specific point.

Immediately afterward, Earth-Nether Primordial Sha Qi surged from every "Li Fei," and they quickly connected together.

Gan Jingcheng had a bad premonition and couldn't help but open his mouth:

"Not like this, brother..."

Li Fei didn't pay attention to him and continued his arrangement.

He wanted to control these clones to form a formation!

With many people, one had to fully exert the advantage of having many people!

Forming a formation required everyone in the formation to cooperate tacitly; Li Fei naturally couldn't split his mind into "one hundred and eight" uses.

What he relied on was the perfect combination of "Danger Perception" and "Ghost Shadow."

Every clone possessed individual perception ability and could perceive the situation of other clones around it.

With all clones focused together, Li Fei could very easily perceive the situation of all clones!

Thus, through this comprehensive perception ability, he viewed all clones as a whole, viewing them as one hundred and eight "acupoints," and all he needed to do was control the innate primordial Qi to flow through these one hundred and eight "acupoints" in a specific way and order.

In this way, the difficulty of Li Fei setting up the formation was greatly reduced; instead, it was easier than having one hundred and eight people set up the formation.

After all, one hundred and eight people couldn't achieve unity of mind.

On the field, strands of Earth-Nether Primordial Sha Qi connected together, and a powerful formation quickly took shape.

"It's been so many years, and this is the first time I've seen such a thing as one person forming a formation in a Dao Foundation stage martial artist."

On the main spectator stand, Principal Qi Zhou of Tianqu University exclaimed in admiration.

Previously, he had only seen Martial Arts Masters possessing clone supernatural powers form a formation by themselves!

His tone was somewhat gloating; reaching this point, no one felt Gan Jingcheng was guaranteed to win this round anymore.

Beside him, True Person Xuan Chen's face looked ugly.

This disciple of his, Gan Jingcheng, was good at everything, except that he loved to show off (act cool).

Originally, when facing an opponent weaker than himself, showing off was nothing, and it could indeed display the demeanor of the Shangqing Sect.

But seeing that the opponent was already so unreasonable, and Gan Jingcheng still didn't launch a preemptive attack, this made True Person Xuan Chen somewhat unable to bear it.

In fact, Gan Jingcheng was also hesitating at this time.

He had said at the beginning that he would let him have thirty moves; going back on his word would be too shameful.

But if he let Li Fei continue to mess around, he really couldn't imagine what kind of tricks this "First in History" could play...

Soon, a piece of black Sha Qi shrouded the sky above Gan Jingcheng's head.

Black clouds pressing down on the city!

"Nine Nether Earth-Sha Formation?"

Gan Jingcheng recognized the grand formation Li Fei had set up.

This was a grand formation suitable for earth Qi and Sha Qi; the difficulty of setting it up was not low, and even if one really found one hundred and eight Qi-Transformation stage martial artists, they would have to practice for many years to successfully form the formation.

Gan Jingcheng didn't expect Li Fei to successfully set up the formation by himself!

The moment the formation was completed, Gan Jingcheng felt that the space in all directions was sealed, and the world before his eyes became pitch-dark, with no sun to be seen.

The Nine Nether Earth-Sha Formation was best at sealing, just happening to restrain his "Ethereal Cloud," and he didn't know if Li Fei had deliberately cultivated this formation for him?

He finally began to feel pressure.

If it were really one hundred and eight Qi-Transformation stage martial artists forming this formation, it would be enough to threaten or even kill a powerhouse at the peak of the Dao Foundation stage!

Gan Jingcheng catalyzed his Long Sky Leaning Cloud Strength; the azure strength transformed into soft clouds, wrapping his entire body, and his body gradually became ethereal, as if he had already jumped out of the Three Realms and was not among the Five Elements.

Dao Strength—【Leaning on Clouds in the Sky】!

Facing the huge pressure brought by Li Fei, Gan Jingcheng unleashed Dao Strength a step ahead.

The next second, the black clouds above his head began to change, gradually turning into a giant palm the size of a mountain peak.

Nine Nether Earth-Sha Formation—Nine Nether Great Handprint!

The black palm pressed down toward Gan Jingcheng below; the air became solidified, and the space seemed to be constantly compressed.

【Leaning on Clouds in the Sky】 seemed to have jumped out of the Three Realms, but that was just an illusion caused by the mental level, making people unable to lock onto him.

Li Fei didn't think about locking onto the opponent at all; he just directly locked this piece of space, and then forcefully suppressed it!

No matter how Gan Jingcheng moved, he couldn't escape the range sealed by the grand formation, and would eventually be found.

Boom—

The giant palm pressed down, and the ground shook violently, as if a mountain peak had really fallen from the sky!

Swish swish swish swish swish!

Strands of sword light suddenly erupted from the black palm, and the mountain-like black palm disintegrated accordingly.

Dao Strength—【Heaven Splitting】!

"Junior Brother Li, so many clones attacking together can be considered as having already made one hundred and eight moves, so I must also strike back!"

Gan Jingcheng's voice followed, spreading throughout the arena.

Facing the huge pressure given by Li Fei, he finally couldn't just defend and not attack.

If he really lost like this, he would be scolded to death after going back!

So after explaining himself, he decisively struck back, unleashing the Dao Strength 【Heaven Splitting】.

Countless sword lights erupted, breaking open the Nine Nether Great Handprint that was like a mountain peak.

This sword could break clouds, could open the sky; breaking open a mountain peak was naturally not a problem!

Li Fei didn't respond to Gan Jingcheng, continuing to control the grand formation.

The disintegrated Sha Qi transformed into copper walls and iron bastions, squeezing toward Gan Jingcheng in the center from all directions!

The power of the Nine Nether Earth-Sha Grand Formation was elevated step by step; as Gan Jingcheng shattered the Nine Nether Great Handprint, more earth Qi was drawn in by Li Fei.

Gan Jingcheng had a solemn expression and thrust his sword out.

Roar—

The giant dragon roar resounded throughout the arena.

The azure strength transformed into a sea of clouds; within the sea of clouds, a giant dragon appeared and disappeared, swaying its body at will, causing the sea of clouds to surge.

Above the Nine Heavens, a divine dragon suddenly appeared, the sea of clouds surging like a tide, spreading toward the surroundings.

The powerful sword intent headed straight for the clouds, as if echoing with the divine dragon in the sky.

Dao Strength—【Nine Heavens Cloud Dragon】!

Hunyuan Light-Splitting Sword was the sword technique with the strongest defense of the Shangqing Sect.

Nine Heavens Clear Cloud Sword was the sword technique with the strongest attack of the Shangqing Sect.

Gan Jingcheng had cultivated both sword techniques!

【Nine Heavens Cloud Dragon】 was the move with the most majestic momentum and also the most overbearing in the Nine Heavens Clear Cloud Sword, which would make the opponent feel as if they were heading straight for the clouds, their soul flying out of the sky.

It was just that the impact on the mind was locked by the Nine Nether Earth-Sha Grand Formation, failing to cause any influence on Li Fei and the clones.

But the unparalleled sword Qi contained in the sea of clouds was still overbearing and unparalleled; the "copper walls and iron bastions" squeezing from all directions immediately disintegrated, and the entire Nine Nether Earth-Sha Formation also began to fluctuate!

Li Fei had only cultivated this grand formation for a short time after all; even if all clones were of one mind, he still hadn't managed to exert the power of the grand formation to its strongest.

The eighteen "Li Feis" in the front row suddenly moved.

These eighteen "Li Feis" broke away from the formation, holding giant straight slashing sabers, and slashed toward the sea of clouds in front of them.

Every clone possessed 30% of the real body's physical strength; after Li Fei took a bottle of Subduing Tiger Pill, even 30% of the physical strength could not be underestimated!

All eighteen clones slashed open the sea of clouds and rushed in.

Boom boom boom boom!

The next second, eighteen clones self-destructed simultaneously.

When the clones self-destructed, what they triggered was not only the Sha Qi inside the clones, but also a large amount of earth Qi drawn in with the help of the Nine Nether Earth-Sha Formation.

In the situation of forming a formation, the self-destruction of every clone was several times more powerful than a separate self-destruction!

This was originally the final desperate killing move of the Nine Nether Earth-Sha Formation—drawing earth Qi into the body, and using the Sha body to self-destruct to injure the enemy.

A move that was originally very tragic, when used by Li Fei with clones, seemed somewhat shameless.

The self-destruction of eighteen clones left eighteen huge holes in the sea of clouds, and the divine dragon that was appearing and disappearing within was also blasted into pieces!

【Nine Heavens Cloud Dragon】 was completely dissipated.

Before Gan Jingcheng could catch his breath, another eighteen clones rushed out from the formation, rushing toward him aggressively.

Gan Jingcheng swung his sword in a horizontal sweep; the sea of clouds reappeared, transforming into a tide, sweeping toward the eighteen clones.

But this time the eighteen clones didn't self-destruct, each raising their giant straight slashing sabers to block in front of them; the eighteen people seemed to transform into eighteen stone pillars, firmly nailed to the ground, blocking the unparalleled sword Qi.

The tide transformed into layers of ripples, finally dissipating.

Originally, the biggest weakness of clones was that their defense was not strong, but after forming a grand formation, every time a clone encountered an attack, it could disperse the power to the other one hundred and seven people, letting everyone bear it together.

This was originally one of the basic characteristics of the formation method.

The Nine Nether Earth-Sha Formation was best at sealing and banning, and its defense was naturally even more outstanding, capable of channeling the encountered attacks into the ground, to be borne by the boundless earth.

Gan Jingcheng finally saw it; if he didn't use Dao Strength, it would be hard to shake this grand formation.

And once he used Dao Strength, Li Fei would control the clones to self-destruct to resist.

"Competing in consumption?"

Gan Jingcheng raised his hand and struck with another sword.

The sea of clouds surged, and the dragon roar reappeared!

One of his core-level extraordinary abilities was called "Green God," a wood-attribute extraordinary ability, which could convert the wood-attribute innate primordial Qi, which was very thick and continuous and had a very fast recovery speed, into other innate primordial Qi according to the order of the five elements generating each other.

In this way, it was equivalent to Gan Jingcheng's five types of innate primordial Qi increasing by several times, which made the thickness of his strength several times that of martial artists of the same realm!

So he didn't fear competing in consumption with Li Fei.

The opponent could only maintain such a state by relying on medicine, which must have paid a price and could not last!

Facing the 【Nine Heavens Cloud Dragon】 surging over again, Li Fei indeed sent another eighteen clones rushing out.

Boom boom boom—

With a series of violent explosions, 【Nine Heavens Cloud Dragon】 was broken again.

"It's just using it eight more times."

Gan Jingcheng showed a confident smile.

But the next second, his smile froze on his face.

In the Nine Nether Earth-Sha Formation, several new clones appeared, filling the vacancies.

Li Fei was still continuing to manufacture new clones!

"Not..."

Gan Jingcheng almost couldn't maintain his graceful persona, wanting to curse out loud.

Didn't he take medicine, why was there no influence at all?

Even if the innate primordial Qi and earth Qi were sufficient, why could the Qi and blood and the power of intent be so thick?

Relying on taking medicine couldn't make one become so strong, right?!

In this battle, Li Fei constantly refreshed Gan Jingcheng's worldview.

Wishing everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, wishing everyone to be together with the people they think of in their hearts~

Asking for monthly tickets.
