Chapter 130: The Might of the Battle Formation, the Appearance of a Great Master at the Innate Realm

Boom!

The clash of the knife and spear created a powerful wave of energy.

A few days ago, Wei, the grand commander, had just broken through to the Great Perfection of the Internal Organs Realm. Now, he felt a tremendous force transmitted from his spear, causing his body to tremble.

Fortunately, he was within the Silver Moon Battle Formation, his Qi mechanism connected with the other Silver Moon Guards.

As the force reached him, it was swiftly dispersed and distributed among the other Silver Moon Guards.

This allowed him to maintain his grip on the spear without sustaining any injuries.

However, although he was unharmed, Wei, the grand commander, was still astonished.

As expected of the Great Perfection of the Internal Organs Realm, this strength was truly fearsome.

Even with the boost of the Silver Moon Battle Formation, he had almost failed to withstand that attack.

"Damn!"

The burly man was also pushed back two steps by the powerful collision.

Seeing that Wei, the grand commander, had fearlessly taken the full force of his blade without injury, he knew that he alone might not be able to break through this Silver Moon Battle Formation.

Although he felt reluctant, he commanded his subordinates, "All of you, spread out and attack this formation from different angles."

His men immediately dispersed, surrounding the entire Silver Moon Battle Formation and attacking together.

Meanwhile, the burly man continued to charge towards Wei, the grand commander.

The two sides clashed once more.

The group from the Tiancang Sect outnumbered Wei's Silver Moon Guards, and their overall strength was superior.

Logically, the Silver Moon Guards should have been on the brink of defeat by now.

However, something unexpected happened.

The Silver Moon Battle Formation of the Wei family was incredibly exquisite.

Once activated, it was relentless, with the hearts and minds of dozens of people connected as one.

With their Qi mechanisms intertwined, each Silver Moon Guard could draw upon the power of the formation.

As a result, after fighting for a while, it was the Tiancang Sect's side that began to retreat.

"Is this the Wei family's Silver Moon Battle Formation? It's incredibly powerful!"

In the corner, on the edge of a roof, a figure stood watching the battle in the courtyard below. Amazement filled his eyes—eyes as beautiful as a phoenix's.

"As the rumors say, the Silver Moon Guards of the Wei family are raised together from a young age. They eat and live together, cultivate the same set of martial arts, and train as one. Only then, after many years, can they achieve this level of unity and perfectly execute the Silver Moon Battle Formation."

"In the past, some people doubted the Silver Moon Battle Formation, but now it seems that its power is undeniable. It is indeed a top-notch protective tool for the clan."

"With this battle formation, any clan can ensure their prosperity for a hundred years!"

At this moment, the burly man was also filled with a mixture of surprise and anger.

Although he had a high estimation of the Wei family's protective battle formation, he hadn't expected it to be this exquisite.

Even with him leading so many martial artists, they still couldn't break through the formation.

"Damn it! If it weren't for the deaths of my second and third brothers, with their help, even if this Silver Moon Battle Formation is this exquisite, it would have been broken by now!"

At this moment, the burly man once again felt bone-deep hatred towards the hidden force.

His second and third brothers were both powerful martial artists who had achieved Minor Completion in the Internal Organs Realm. Their strength was not to be underestimated.

If they were still here, leading separate teams of martial artists in a three-pronged attack, even this Silver Moon Battle Formation would not have been able to withstand such immense pressure.

But now, they were always just a step away, lacking that little bit of strength to break through the formation.

"We must think of something!"

The burly man's heart couldn't help but feel anxious.

As the battle dragged on, he noticed that the Silver Moon Battle Formation was becoming more and more cohesive.

It was like an indestructible, resilient ball that couldn't be hammered or broken.

It possessed both toughness and tension, a perfect balance of offense and defense.

Unknowingly, casualties began to appear on their side.

Meanwhile, the Silver Moon Guards remained unscathed.

If this continued, they would ultimately be the ones to lose.

With this thought, the burly man's strikes with his battle knife became even more fierce.

Boom!

Once again, Wei, the grand commander, took the full force of the burly man's swift and mighty blade. He skillfully redirected the power to avoid injury.

After fighting for so long, he had become increasingly adept at leading the Silver Moon Battle Formation.

Seeing casualties on the opposing side boosted his morale, and he saw a glimmer of hope for victory.

If they could defeat these martial artists, they could go support the clan head and kill the old man with the red face.

By then, the Wei family's crisis would be mostly resolved.

The other Silver Moon Guards also realized this, and their spirits were lifted. The offensive of the Silver Moon Battle Formation became even more fierce.

"Could it be that the Wei family is going to win?"

The middle-aged man with phoenix eyes, the County Lord, who was standing on the corner of the roof, also noticed the shift in the situation below. Amazement filled his eyes.

"However, I doubt that person will let that happen."

As soon as this thought arose, the middle-aged man with phoenix eyes suddenly felt a chill rise from the bottom of his heart.

Chapter: The Terrifying Presence

An overwhelming sense of dread permeated his entire being.

His eyes widened in shock and awe as he looked towards the highest point of the opposite roof.

At some point, a figure had appeared there, exuding a terrifying aura that caused even a martial artist at the Great Perfection of the Internal Organs Realm, just a step away from the pinnacle, to tremble in fear.

A Precelestial Realm expert!

In an instant, the middle-aged man with phoenix eyes realized the identity of the figure.

Only an enigmatic and overwhelmingly powerful Precelestial Realm master could possess such an awe-inspiring presence.

The figure's appearance also caught the attention of the numerous warriors in the front courtyard below.

In that moment, everyone's bodies trembled, and they involuntarily paused in their actions.

There was no way anyone could ignore such a formidable presence.

Even Wei Xinghe and the red-faced elder, who were still locked in combat, abruptly separated and retreated to opposite sides, their eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty as they looked towards the roof.

"Master!"

The burly man's pupils constricted.

"Second Elder!"

The group of warriors who had come with the burly man also exclaimed in surprise.

"Master, Second Elder?"

Wei Xinghe's heart stirred, and he knew that the figure on the roof was the mastermind behind the disaster that had befallen the Wei family.

"Useless bunch!"

Wang Cangi's face turned gloomy as he looked at the situation below.

He hadn't expected that with so many followers, not only would they be unable to defeat the Wei family, but they would also show signs of defeat.

This was unacceptable to his arrogant nature.

The burly man's body trembled, and he immediately knelt on one knee.

"Disciple has failed, please punish me, Master!"

The rest of the disciples from the Tiancang Sect quickly knelt as well.

"Hmph!"

Wang Cangi coldly hmphed, his expression unchanged.

These useless disciples would definitely be punished, but not now.

His gaze swept over his worthless followers, then landed on the members of the Wei family, finally settling on Wei Xinghe.

"Are you the current head of the Wei family?"

Under Wang Cangi's intense gaze, Wei Xinghe felt a tremendous weight pressing down on him, as if a mountain had landed on his shoulders, making it difficult to breathe.

Fear rose uncontrollably from the depths of his heart, and he felt an irresistible urge to kneel and beg for mercy.

"No!"

Wei Xinghe knew that he was experiencing the influence of the Precelestial Realm's aura, causing him to hallucinate.

He tightly clenched his fists, digging his fingernails into his palms, and the pain helped him snap out of his fear, his eyes clearing.

"Yes, I am Wei Xinghe, the current head of the Wei family. Greetings to the Precelestial Realm master."

Wei Xinghe bowed respectfully, his posture humble.

"Impressive composure. You have potential. With your mental fortitude, given enough time, you might be able to forge your own soul power and enter the Precelestial Realm."

Seeing that Wei Xinghe had resisted his Precelestial aura, Wang Cangi's expression remained unchanged, and he even offered a rare compliment.

"I dare not," Wei Xinghe said, his heart trembling.

The more polite the Precelestial Realm master was, the more uneasy Wei Xinghe felt.

"Wei Xinghe, I now give you two choices. First, hand over that object, and I will spare your Wei family. Second, I will take action myself and wipe out your entire clan. Which of these two choices will you make?"

As expected, Wang Cangi's next words shocked Wei Xinghe.

He exclaimed in a hurry, "Master, the Holy Mountain has decreed that Precelestial Realm experts must not act against those below the Precelestial Realm. Are you planning to defy the Holy Order...?"

"Arrogant!"

Wang Cangi's face darkened, and a powerful aura surged from his body, causing a mighty storm of energy to sweep through the area. All the warriors below felt as if a mountain was pressing down on them.

Some with weaker willpower immediately knelt, their faces filled with terror.

As for Wei Xinghe, who bore the brunt of the pressure, he felt the weight increase exponentially, as if the heavens were about to collapse upon him, crushing even the thick stone slabs under his feet.

"This is an illusion, it's all an illusion!"

Wei Xinghe repeatedly reminded himself, refusing to kneel.

As the head of the Wei family, he had once felt the might of the Precelestial Realm from his ancestor and knew that this Precelestial aura could not directly harm him.

As long as his willpower was strong enough, he could withstand it without any harm.

With this constant mental reminder, Wei Xinghe managed to endure the oppressive aura, his body trembling as he stood his ground without kneeling.

"Oh?"

Wang Cangi's eyes narrowed at this display.

If Wei Xinghe could withstand his aura earlier, it could be explained by having a strong willpower.

But now, even with Wang Cangi's full release of his aura, Wei Xinghe still held on.

That meant his willpower far exceeded that of an ordinary Internal Organs Realm master at the peak of their cultivation.

Chapter: The Power of the Precelestial Realm

"Will!"

Will was intimately connected to the human spirit.

If Wang Cangi's previous words were seven parts false and three parts deception, then he was painting a picture of the Precelestial Realm for Wei Xinghe.

He wanted to diminish Wei Xinghe's will to fight to the death and offer up his treasure on the promise of reaching the Precelestial Realm.

But now, he felt that Wei Xinghe truly had a chance to enter the Precelestial Realm.

Especially after experiencing his aura, it wouldn't be long before Wei Xinghe comprehended soul power and stepped into the Precelestial Realm.

"This man cannot be left alive!"

With this thought, Wang Cangi's gaze turned fierce.

He raised his hand, and a white sword aura appeared out of thin air, speeding towards Wei Xinghe with deadly intent!

"What?!"

Wei Xinghe was shocked.

He never expected that a Precelestial Realm expert would actually be so shameless.

Not only was he attacking a Postcelestial Realm martial artist, but he was also doing so in a manner akin to a sneak attack.

Wei Xinghe wanted to dodge.

But the sword aura was too fast, and with Wang Cangi's aura still pressing down on him, he could only muster three to four tenths of his strength, leaving him unable to evade in time.

He could only watch helplessly as the sword aura was about to strike him.

"My life ends here!"

Wei Xinghe sighed inwardly and closed his eyes, resigned to his fate.

Two figures appeared in his mind's eye.

"My dear, An'er, I'm afraid I won't be able to find you myself."

Wei Xinghe braced for death.

The other martial artists stared wide-eyed at the unfolding scene.

But the next moment, something even more shocking happened.

Just as Wang Cangi's sword aura was about to strike Wei Xinghe, a red glow appeared out of nowhere, blocking the sword aura.

Boom!

The white and red lights collided, creating a powerful explosion.

The explosive force sent Wei Xinghe flying, and the nearby martial artists stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Wang Cangi, you're still as shameless as ever, resorting to a sneak attack against a junior Postcelestial Realm cultivator. You disgrace the name of Precelestial Realm experts!"

After the explosion of energy, a clear and loud voice rang out from above.

"Ancestral Elder!"

Having been sent tumbling by the blast, Wei Xinghe spat out several mouthfuls of blood. He ignored his injuries and looked up with joy.

There, on the opposite rooftop, stood a familiar figure.

A fierce and valiant elder with a battle sword on his back.

Another Precelestial Realm expert!

The martial artists below could sense the aura emanating from the new figure, and they knew without a doubt that he was a Precelestial Realm master.

And from Wei Xinghe's exclamation, they realized that this elder was the Wei family's Ancestral Elder!

"Damn, why is there another Precelestial Realm expert?!"

Amidst the tense atmosphere, there was one person who felt utterly terrified.

The middle-aged man with phoenix eyes cowered under the eaves, not daring to move.

"As I expected, I shouldn't have given in to my curiosity. If I had left earlier, none of this would be happening!"

The middle-aged man berated himself inwardly.

At that moment, he was caught between two Precelestial Realm experts, unable to move forward or backward. He could only hope that they would spare him due to his position as the County Lord.

He didn't dare believe that the two Precelestial Realm masters hadn't noticed him.

"Wei Shanhai, so you're not dead!"

Wang Cangi's face remained calm as he looked at the Wei family's Ancestral Elder and said flatly.

"Pah! I, Wei Shanhai, have a long life. You, a despicable villain, will die before I do!"

Wei Shanhai, the Wei family's Ancestral Elder, spat out, his face filled with disdain.

"Hmph, even if you didn't die, the sword energy I planted in your heart meridian hasn't been completely purged yet, has it? With your severely damaged foundation, how much of your strength can you really use?" Wang Cangi asked with a smile.

"I don't know about my strength, but it's more than enough to deal with a despicable and treacherous person like you." Wei Shanhai retorted with contempt.

"Is that so? Then let's find out."

Wang Cangi raised his arm, and a white sword aura formed in his palm.

"I'm not afraid of you!"

Wei Shanhai's eyes narrowed, and a blade of light appeared in his hand.

The collision of the two Precelestial Realm auras filled the martial artists below with a sense of suffocation and oppression, as if they were about to die at any moment.

A powerful sense of fear arose in everyone's hearts.

They could foresee that if these two Precelestial Realm experts started fighting, they would likely be caught in the crossfire.

"Are you two sure you want to battle here in the city?"

Just then, a calm voice sounded out.
