Chapter 724: 狂农捍阵

"This is... Phoenix Fire! I never imagined encountering a Phoenix bloodline successor in this place. What a great gain today, Prince!"

The mention of "Prince" immediately drew the attention of Xu Yang and his group. The one addressed with such deference was the leader of the Leopard Cavalry, a man of extraordinary height.

"Haha, gains naturally bring rewards. Form ranks, don't let these prey escape. Today, this Prince will bestow generous rewards. Oh, and don't forget to capture that escaped criminal slave!"

The Prince suddenly raised a black iron rod in his hand, which resembled a hoe. Though it seemed unremarkable, the subsequent sight greatly astonished Xu Yang and his companions.

The black iron rod emitted an incredibly dazzling black and gold light wave that instantly enveloped the entire sky.

In an instant, hundreds of Black Panther cavalrymen dispersed, forming a Qimen Jiugong formation, completely encircling Xu Yang's team.

"Hah! I can't believe these sloppily dressed fellows are masters of such profound and unfathomable formations. We truly underestimated them!"

Long Kun temporarily ceased his fire-breathing, observing their formation with interest. Its patterns were incredibly intricate and seamless. It seemed to subtly seal off all the energy within the battlefield, preventing its natural flow—a unique characteristic of this formation's sealing effect.

Sealing the spatial energy was akin to cutting off an army's water and food supplies. As long as they maintained continuous pressure with the formation's power, a protracted battle would be an unbeatable strategy for a steady victory.

Although every member of Xu Yang's team was a top master, as the saying goes, a lone tiger cannot defeat a pack of wolves. If they couldn't find a breakthrough and launch a breakout in a short time, Xu Yang and his group would be put on the defensive in this battle.

"You are completely surrounded. Our Qimen formation has never let a single prey escape. Kneeling in submission is your only option."

Before anyone else could speak, Long Kun burst into laughter. "Kid, do you even know who these people behind me are? How dare you boast to us with such arrogance? Do you believe your Grandpa Long Kun will beat you until you don't have a single hair left?"

The moment Long Kun finished speaking, an incredibly powerful devouring aura, without warning, bound his form.

Simultaneously, a stream of light rotated from the formation eye beneath a corresponding Black Panther cavalryman's foot. Long Kun was thus instantly displaced, his entire being transferred to hover directly above the cavalrymen's heads. Unprepared, he lost his team advantage and was completely isolated in an instant.

"Stab!" The soldier who performed the spatial transfer immediately became the initiator of the team's attack command. At his cry, everyone beneath Long Kun simultaneously unleashed incredibly powerful offensive auras, poised to utterly cripple Long Kun on the spot.

Dozens of unremarkable black hoes were raised again. Long Kun had initially dismissed them, but Xu Yang's chilling reminder instantly flashed in his mind.

"If you're careless again, you'll be riddled with holes. These people are not simple; they are highly trained, top-tier experts. You absolutely cannot be careless anymore!"

"Heh heh, don't worry, Boss, I get it!" Long Kun seized the opportunity, performing a mid-air spin and unleashing powerful Phoenix flames downwards. Simultaneously, he used the recoil force to propel his body in the opposite direction, narrowly evading the Black Panther warriors' first wave of attacks.

As his vision was directly facing downwards, Long Kun watched as the hoes clashed together, erupting in sparks like lightning. Even these tiny flickers of light contained power that astonished Long Kun!

"Good heavens, Boss, quickly check which plane system they're from! This is incredibly powerful! They're more terrifying than all those mages combined. I have no idea what kind of power they wield! But I know for sure that if they all strike me, I'll definitely have a huge hole poked through me!"

Hearing this, Xu Yang quickly issued a command for an offensive breakout to those around him.

At the same time, everyone moved in various directions. As the main combat force of Xu Yang's team, each member was full of passion and intense killing intent, aiming to distract as many Black Panther cavalrymen as possible to relieve pressure on Long Kun, who was trapped in the void.

As the absolute leaders of the two factions, neither Xu Yang nor the one called the Prince rushed into action.

Only when both sides were fully engaged in battle did the Prince strike his Black Panther mount, approaching Xu Yang with an arrogant smile.

"I can see that you are the soul of this team. Let's decide this, powerful one from the myriad realms!"

Xu Yang did not rush to act. He simply crooked a finger at the Prince before him. "After I subdue you, I hope to gain more knowledge about your clan. You can consider this a transaction, and you can certainly work towards it."

"Hahaha! Boy, you truly don't understand the depth of our God-Devourer royal lineage. But that's understandable; we are people from two different worlds. If we weren't trapped in this cursed place of the myriad realms, we wouldn't have met. It seems you are fated to fall before me."

Xu Yang chuckled. Just as the Black Panther beneath the Prince leaped into the air, an incredibly sharp boulder shot out from the ground without warning. Over a dozen sharp blades emerged consecutively, completely blocking every potential landing spot for the Black Panther.

"What?!" The Prince was shocked, never expecting Xu Yang to be skilled in such bizarre techniques. He thrust his black hoe into the ground, attempting to use the rebound force to evade the spiky boulders, but Xu Yang's second earth law again imposed its sanction.

Watching his Black Panther companion uncontrollably being pressed onto the spiky boulders, the Prince gritted his teeth. He was forced to sacrifice a pawn to save the king, stepping onto the Black Panther's back to escape the danger zone. The moment he landed safely, the Black Panther was impaled on the sharp points of the boulders and quickly ceased to breathe.

"You're dead! You killed my companion. Ten lives wouldn't be enough to repay this!"

Xu Yang sneered, "Its demise was not caused by me, but by you, the so-called high-and-mighty leader, who blindly made an enemy of me, thus killing your companion. After all, from beginning to end, you were the ones who initiated the attack."

"You!!" The Prince was speechless, rebutted by Xu Yang. All the bitterness in his heart transformed into furious rage. He suddenly let out a sky-rending roar and charged at Xu Yang like a madman.

It's worth noting that the fellow's movements were very deliberate. He didn't just blindly charge in one direction but moved in an incredibly eerie, serpentine path. Xu Yang immediately recognized this as a unique ability of the so-called God-Slayers from this lineage!
