Chapter 1303: Pirated Ghost Valley Qimen Formation

After the young elk went berserk, its movement speed increased to an incredible degree. Although the elk clan isn't known for its strong offensive capabilities, their speed is top-tier.

After realizing its sneak attack had failed, the young elk quickly retreated, escorted by several larger elks.

They all vanished within seconds, and only then did the White Tiger youth realize he had almost stepped into a major trap.

"Holy cow, boss, what's going on? Those elks weren't trying to ambush us, were they?"

Before Xu Yang could respond, the Black Tortoise clone beside him let out a cold laugh.

"If I'm not mistaken, those elks, known for their speed, are likely acting as scout outposts in this vast wilderness. It won't be long before the Mad Oxen clan and other beast clan powerhouses from this wide plain start appearing. Our presence has been exposed; we've completely lost our escape route."

Roar! Sure enough, moments later, a deafening lion's roar echoed from all directions. Following this, a massive swirl of sand swept across the landscape, and a large group of Mad Lion beast powerhouses emerged, encircling Xu Yang and his companions from every direction.

A quick glance revealed over a hundred Mad Lion warriors in the encircling group, each emanating a combat aura far stronger than that of the previous Tiger King clan warriors.

Moreover, Xu Yang and his team had long sensed that the primordial life force belonging to the beast clans in this vast wilderness was significantly greater than in the other major domains. Beast warriors who survive in such a place are bound to possess a wilder competitive drive and formidable individual strength.

"Humans dared to trespass so brazenly into the extremely desolate northern region? Your audacity is truly astounding."

The Azure Dragon couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Do all of you from the Far North Wilderness clan share one brain? I've heard that line several times already; can't you offer us something new?"

Hearing the Azure Dragon's retort, the Mad Lion clan leader's eyes grew exceptionally grim.

"For despicable enemies like you, we only need to use the most powerful means to slaughter and then devour you. That's all; there's no need for any more pointless talk. Since you've come to this great wilderness, you are now our eagerly sought-after prey. If you have any last words, it's best to say them now."

The Black Tortoise clone chuckled, "Believe it or not, if we start fighting, you won't even be able to pinpoint our location. Yet you dare to spout such arrogant nonsense in this place? Truly shameless!"

As soon as the Black Tortoise clone finished speaking, without any further delay, he stomped his foot, and eight glowing formation projections swiftly appeared around his body.

Unbeknownst to them, this was a unique formation he had developed by combining his original array techniques with the inheritance of the Ghost Valley Qimen Array that he had received.

These eight formations simultaneously encircled Xu Yang's team. Each formation operated independently, instantly evolving into sixty-four basic variations (eight times eight). Every variation of the formations integrated with the aura of everyone in Xu Yang's team, meaning that if the Black Tortoise clone wished, he could use these formations for spatial transference for the entire group.

The Mad Lion clan was sharp; they had no intention of wasting time. Regardless of the formation Xu Yang's side had deployed, they unhesitatingly let out a furious roar and charged forward simultaneously from all directions.

The Black Tortoise clone sneered, then activated a change in one of the formation's focal points. At that very moment, everyone in Xu Yang's team vanished from their original positions.

When they reappeared, the group had completely broken free from the Mad Lion clan's encirclement, rendering their previous charge utterly meaningless.

"Hahahaha, Boss, your Ghost Valley Qimen Grand Formation truly has endless miraculous uses! This way, we'll never be caught in an encirclement again."

Xu Yang didn't say anything aloud, but inwardly, he was speechless at the Black Tortoise clone's words.

To use the Ghost Valley Qimen Array in such a manner was, in his opinion, the greatest insult to its legacy.

"Ahem, may I say that your application of this technique barely scratches the surface of the Ghost Valley Qimen Grand Formation?"

Hearing Xu Yang's verbal counter-attack, the team burst into laughter. The Azure Dragon, in particular, was most delighted to see the Black Tortoise clone put in his place. This left the Black Tortoise clone utterly speechless.

"Damn, do you have to be so dramatic? Then Boss, why don't you personally demonstrate how the Ghost Valley Qimen Array should really be used?"

Hearing the Black Tortoise clone's challenge, Xu Yang had no intention of holding back. He immediately gave him a live demonstration. Xu Yang pointed into the void, and in an instant, eight Ghost Valley Qimen Array focal points simultaneously condensed above the heads of the Mad Lion pride. Immediately, these fierce lions involuntarily began to stir restlessly.

As the formations above their heads operated, they completely lost their sense of direction within a very short time. Then, at the moment Xu Yang made his second move, these Mad Lions, disoriented, began to fight among themselves.

Countless individual Mad Lion warriors, over a hundred of them, frantically started attacking their own kind. The once orderly Mad Lion battle formation instantly devolved into chaos.

This unfolding scene utterly stunned the Black Tortoise clone, the Azure Dragon, and the others. Even Xiao Hua couldn't help but nod repeatedly at Xu Yang's display.

"Now do you understand how significant the gap is between you and the Boss?"

Xiao Hua's comment left the Black Tortoise clone speechless.

"It seems the Boss truly hasn't let down the power of the cultivation techniques we've inherited. It's simply astonishing! We'll have plenty to diligently study from now on."

After witnessing the true power of the Ghost Valley Qimen Array, the Azure Dragon, the White Tiger youth, and the Black Tortoise clone all displayed solemn expressions. They had genuinely not expected the inheritance Xu Yang had given them to be so profound. This also proved, in another sense, that Xu Yang truly considered them his own.

"Alright then, no matter what, we will absolutely never do anything to let you down, Boss. Consider this our gratitude for your guidance and help."

The Black Tortoise clone's words truly came from the heart, but this relatively stable battlefield situation didn't last long.

After more than a dozen rounds of infighting, the Mad Lion clan leader was the first to awaken, letting out a deafening roar that quickly roused all the surrounding Mad Lion warriors from their state of confusion.

"It seems you must be the absolute leader among these humans. I truly underestimated your strength; how interesting! From now on, everyone listen to my command: form pairs and select attack targets. Others, hold your ground and do not act rashly! These human powerhouses are skilled in array inheritance, so we should not attempt to encircle them on a large scale."
