156: Chapter 156 The Wind God Splits, the Thunder Beast Subdues the Demon

Once the Wind God Soul-Splitting Formation was formed, the auras of the Wind Shadow Archers instantly surged.

Just like the Xuanwu Return-to-Origin Formation, it also provided a threefold strength bonus.

It provided all-around enhancements in attack, defense, speed, and recovery.

Regarding this, Lin Xiao wasn't particularly surprised.

Whether it was the Xuanwu Return-to-Origin Formation or the Wind God Soul-Splitting Formation, what they had mastered was only at the entry-level Realm. The differences between these Advanced Formations had not yet fully manifested, and the biggest distinction lay mainly in their characteristics.

In terms of strength bonuses, there wasn't much difference.

Of course, different Troop Types had different advantages. Even if the attacks of the Black Armor Soldiers were tripled, they still fell far short of the Wind Shadow Archers. Similarly, even if the defense of the Wind Shadow Archers was tripled, it wouldn't equal a single strand of the Black Armor Soldiers.

As their strength increased, the Wind Shadow Archers were also full of confidence. Even with no one helping them block damage, they remained utterly fearless.

The Void Monsters that arrived first were naturally the flying monsters.

They blotted out the sky, covering the entire heavens.

"Open fire."

As soon as they entered range, Xue Ying immediately gave the order.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~"

Streaks of azure light, resembling thick beams of light, blasted toward the flying monsters.

Every single beam of arrow light could take away the lives of a large number of flying monsters.

Miraculously, every time an arrow light flew out, two identical arrow lights would appear beside it, and their power was not the least bit weaker.

This was the characteristic activated after mastering the Wind God Soul-Splitting Formation: Splitting.

It wasn't that the arrow light shot by the Wind Shadow Archers was split into three with a drop in power, but rather that under the blessing of the Formation, two identical arrow lights were automatically generated.

Shooting one arrow was equivalent to shooting three arrows.

Every attack consisted of three hundred streams of arrow light.

The attack speed of the Wind Shadow Archers was already extremely astonishing, and under the threefold arrow light, it became terrifying to the extreme.

The flying monsters filling the sky were cleared out by them in the blink of an eye.

Afterwards, they shifted their firepower toward the continuously surging Void Monsters on the ground.

Countless thick azure light beams frantically pierced through the monster horde, taking away the lives of countless Void Monsters.

Whether it was ordinary Tier 3 monsters or Tier 5 giant monsters, none could withstand a single arrow from them.

Such formidable power was not only due to the threefold strength boost from the Wind God Soul-Splitting Formation, but the Wind Shadow Archers' own powerful attributes—tens of times higher than the Tier 5 limit—also played an indispensable role.

They were instantly killed the moment they showed themselves.

Not a single Void Monster could approach them to launch an attack.

But, as the saying went.

The number of Void Monsters was simply too vast.

The defense of the Wind Shadow Archers was not strong; even if it was tripled, it was still just so-so.

They dared not let the monsters get too close; otherwise, given their defensive power, casualties could easily occur.

Therefore, often without waiting for their damage output to reach its maximum, they would immediately open fire.

After all, if too many Void Monsters were allowed to approach, a portion of them would be able to attack them, adding quite a bit of unnecessary risk.

However, doing this made the damage dealt to the Void Monsters somewhat insufficient.

Although the consumption of the Gale Arrow wasn't considered high, it still couldn't support them in shooting and killing tens of millions of Void Monsters.

The Wind God Soul-Splitting Formation certainly didn't have the powerful recovery ability of the Xuanwu Return-to-Origin Formation.

"Wind Spirit Form."

Xue Ying made his choice without hesitation.

One hundred Wind Shadow Archers instantly activated Wind Spirit Form, their auras instantly surging as violent wind Qi enveloped everyone within it.

Following that, they Advanced rapidly toward the Void Land.

Countless streaks of arrow light flew from their hands, shooting and killing all the Void Monsters that entered range.

At this moment, the Wind Shadow Archers were terrifying to the extreme, sweeping in like a violent storm with even more astonishing movement speed.

Looking down from a high vantage point, one could see a violent mass of wind rapidly flying toward the Void Land, with countless arrow lights shooting out from it, obliterating everything around them.

When they finally came to a stop, all the Void Monsters had been thoroughly shot and killed, and even the monster nests deep within the Void Land had been blasted apart by their arrows.

"Using offense as defense, not bad."

Lin Xiao nodded.

The third to take the field was the Dragon Cavalry.

Facing the surging tide of monsters coming like a tidal wave, they also immediately formed a military Formation.

Vast power reverberated as a massive exotic beast appeared above the military Formation; it was shaped like a Kui ox, with its body wreathed in endless thunder light—precisely the thunder beast corresponding to the military Formation.

The bonus given to the Dragon Cavalry by the Thunder Beast Subjugation Formation was similarly threefold.

The characteristic activated after mastering the Formation was Cleansing Demons.

"Charge with me."

Unlike the Black Armor Soldiers and Wind Shadow Archers who waited for the monster horde to surge forward,

taking the initiative to charge was their style.

Led by Zhang Yu, the one hundred Dragon Cavalry charged without hesitation.

"Thunder Stomp."

Violent thunder Qi emanated from their bodies, transforming them into a majestic ray of thunder that fiercely plunged into the monster horde.

Under the blessing of the Thunder Beast Subjugation Formation, their impact force at this moment was not the least bit inferior to their previous full-strength burst.

Not only that, vast and violent thunder light gushed out from them, covering a radius of several hundred meters.

The Void Monsters within this range were instantly pulverized, as if they had endured the direct frontal impact of the Dragon Cavalry.

The Dragon Cavalry rampaged back and forth through the monster horde at will; even giant monsters over a hundred meters tall were smashed to pieces by a single head-on collision from them, forcefully carving out a passage of flesh and blood hundreds of meters wide right through the monster horde.

Cleansing Demons referred to area-of-effect attacks.

No matter how unstoppable the charge of the Dragon Cavalry was, their strongest point of attack remained on themselves, and what the surroundings bore was merely the aftermath, making its power much smaller.

But under the blessing of Cleansing Demons, they seemed to transform into behemoths hundreds of meters wide and tall, vastly increasing their attack range.

If they collided with an ordinary army of tens of thousands, the entire army would be wiped out.

The Void Monsters on the ground were swept away like withered weeds and smashing dry wood, and the flying monsters in the air did not escape disaster either.

One could see the charging Dragon Cavalry suddenly leap up; the violent thunder light they had transformed into shot straight into the sky, violently crashing into the flock of flying monsters. Terrifying thunder light poured forth, instantly obliterating all the flying monsters within a radius of several hundred meters.

This streak of thunder light raced through the air at extreme speed, and wherever it went, all the flying monsters were smashed into fine powder.

"Thunder Spirit Form."

Finally, Zhang Yu led the Dragon Cavalry into their strongest burst.

Increasing terror in violent thunder light gushed from them once more, their killing range surged again, and their charging speed was matchless, smashing all the Void Monsters and monster nests into flying ash.

"Xuanwu never dies, Wind God splits, Thunder Beast cleanses demons."

Lin Xiao took the performance of all three troops completely into his eyes.

The fastest at killing enemies and the most unstoppable was naturally the Dragon Cavalry, the strongest output came from the Wind Shadow Archers, and the steadiest were the Black Armor Soldiers.

Under the blessing of the military Formations, the three armies possessed astonishing power, but each had its own shortcomings.

The Military Formation Technique they currently mastered was only at the entry level.

They had only just condensed the projection of the military Formation, and their combat style was still the same as before. If they wanted to be like Lord Gao Mu's Tier 7 army—fusing everyone's power into one entity and unleashing unimaginable terrifying attacks—they would have to Cultivate the Formation to the Minor Achievement Realm.
