Chapter 1314: Thousand Ox Formation

Xiao Hua, standing beside him, merely offered a slight smile. She thought to herself, "How could a mere Cloud Dragon Heavenly Emperor compare to Xu Yang? Perhaps there isn't a second person on the entire Yingzhou Continent who can rival Xu Yang's strength."

As expected, though the Mad Ox exuded an unmatched arrogance and fearless drive, he was certainly not a mindless brute who only knew how to cause trouble.

After his punch failed to inflict any substantial damage on Xu Yang, he decisively pulled back, allowing Xu Yang no opportunity for a defensive counterattack.

At the same time, he began to reconsider how to choose other combat strategies to effectively strike Xu Yang.

"You must be one of the rare top human powerhouses. That last palm strike seemed formless and intangible, but it actually contained a power rooted in fundamental rules. Before I find your weakness, a blind, forceful attack on you would yield no benefit."

Xu Yang couldn't help but laugh, looking at the Ox King before him. "You are also one of the beast race powerhouses with exceptionally high combat intelligence I've encountered.

I must admit, your current decision is very wise. If you were to repeat your previous attack pattern, even if you exhausted yourself to death here, you absolutely wouldn't be able to inflict the slightest harm upon me."

The Ox King likewise curled his lips into a chilling smile. Simultaneously, he began to unleash a special roar unique to the Mad Ox clan. The deep, rumbling sound and its frequency, emitted by the Ox King, were distinctly different from the roars of the other Mad Ox warriors. This was more like a signal, or a unique call to gather his kin, akin to a celestial wolf howling at the moon.

As expected, this continuous sound wave, reminiscent of a vast river or sea, surged in layers, spreading to every corner of the surrounding area.

Meanwhile, more and more Mad Ox warriors surged from all directions across the vast wilderness.

All the Mad Ox warriors continuously increased their speed in a frenzied charge, building up the momentum of impact generated by their own bodies. "Holy cow, these oxen aren't going crazy, are they? They're all bursting with such terrifying speed; surely they're not coming to ram us?"

The Black Tortoise avatar was startled by the sight of countless ox-headed warriors charging madly. Soon after, not far away, the Azure Dragon also couldn't help but furrow his brow.

"I'm afraid your guess is correct, but these guys aren't just coming for us. Their seemingly wild charge also contains an extremely tight formation structure. This must be a group attack mode unleashed by the Ox King against us."

"Since I cannot find a weakness in you, I can only target your entire team. Taste the power of our Mad Ox clan's Thousand Ox Formation.

Thousands of Mad Ox warriors will simultaneously launch an encircling attack on you. No matter the direction, you will be unable to break free from the Thousand Ox Formation's directional blockade.

Furthermore, the berserk aura emanating from each Mad Ox warrior will create a certain blocking effect on your mental energy release.

This will ensure that none of you can possibly escape the Thousand Ox Formation's encirclement."

As more and more Mad Ox warriors appeared in their sight, shadows of at least dozens of Mad Ox warriors charging madly surged from every direction around them.

Gradually, three of the four divine beast envoys felt a deep sense of fear welling up within them.

This was no longer a simple fear of power, but an innate panic that welled up from deep within everyone under such an immense tremor. They found themselves unable to control their emotions and remain calm as waves of roaring reverberated, shaking the members of the team.

"Boss, what should we do now? I'm afraid with this formation and our current state, there's no way we can break it. We can only rely on you to help us turn the tide."

The Azure Dragon wasn't actively seeking to rely on someone stronger, but merely stating their group's current predicament. Although no one knew much about the mysterious masked girl, the other three divine beast envoys truly had no solution whatsoever.

Although Xiao Hua had remained silent, there was no doubt that she carried two legacies of the Beast Emperor clan within her. Due to their foundational nature, she absolutely could not make a move easily unless it was a last resort.

This was because if she acted carelessly and involved the foundational power of the Beast Emperor's legacy within her, it could lead to an uncontrollable state, rendering all their previous efforts futile. At this critical moment, apart from the others, the only one they could truly count on was Xu Yang.

"Don't panic; there is a way. However, if I personally take action, you few might have to endure some hardship."

As soon as Xu Yang finished speaking, Xiao Hua understood instantly and, without hesitation, unleashed her Angelic Domain. Although Xiao Hua knew that no matter how powerful her Angelic Domain was, it couldn't withstand the terrifying power Xu Yang was about to unleash,

this Angelic Domain could still provide a certain degree of protection for everyone. It was better than nothing. Golden light enveloped the group, covering an area of about ten meters around their location.

Xu Yang finally made his move the next moment. He stepped into the air, once again suspending himself in the void. This allowed him to minimize the aura emanating from his body from affecting his companions.

Immediately afterward, a pale red light quickly condensed around Xu Yang's body. As time passed, this initially pale red light rapidly turned deep red in a very short time, its color intensifying further until it became a dark crimson.

Finally, it astonishingly transformed into a suffocating blackish-red. When this materialized blackish-red killing intent finally appeared, Xu Yang himself was already like a malevolent god from hell.

Every wisp of his aura instilled a despair-inducing fear in all beings on the continent. The blackish-red color was currently the most powerful state of killing aura Xu Yang could unleash.

Xu Yang's ultimate goal was to condense pure black killing intent; at that point, he would be on the verge of his killing limit.

The blackish-red light enveloped Xu Yang's body, almost completely covering every contour, revealing only a pair of blood-red demonic eyes that could pierce through everything in the world.

The red-black light emitted from these pupils, the moment it locked onto the Ox King's body, instantly made the incredibly violent Ox King fall silent. He, too, felt a deep fear emanating from Xu Yang's aura. As he was thoroughly intimidated by Xu Yang, the Ox King ceased his frantic calls.

The thousands of Mad Ox warriors, gathered into the surrounding Thousand Ox Formation, also gradually slowed their steps due to the fluctuations of the killing intent released by Xu Yang. The berserk aura on each Mad Ox warrior rapidly dissipated in a very short time.
