323: Chapter 323 Dimensional Reduction Attack: Shadow Legion, Dismantle It!

Above the warship, the astral winds howled fiercely.

Xu Chen looked down at the overbearing foreign woman on the altar below. The curve of his lips gradually widened, carrying a hint of a predator's excitement and cruelty.

Helian Yue thought she had cast an inescapable net, but she didn't know that in the face of Xu Chen's Heavenly Dao Divine Pupils, this so-called Ten Absolute Black Water Illusory Sea Formation was simply riddled with loopholes.

"A shrinking turtle?"

Xu Chen chuckled softly, and the flicker of dark black Law at his fingertips stopped pulsing.

"Grand Elder," Xu Chen withdrew his gaze and spoke indifferently.

"This old one is here!" The Grand Elder immediately stepped forward, his expression tense. Although he couldn't see through the mysteries of the Formation below, he could feel the terrifying fluctuations sufficient to strangle a Saint.

"Order the Shadow Assassin Camp to intervene in the battlefield fully."

Xu Chen's tone carried a cold intent to kill. "The targets are not those soldiers charging the front lines, but all the Formation controllers hidden underground and around the altar."

Hearing the words 'Shadow Assassin Camp', the Grand Elder's pupils shrank suddenly.

This was one of the Xu Family's most mysterious and lethal trump cards.

These thousands of assassins were conjured out of thin air by the Young Lord a few days ago using an extremely Heaven-Defying method.

They felt no pain, had no emotions, and even their life auras were so weak they were almost non-existent. They were born with the mastery of the Law of merging into the Void Realm; they were natural killing machines.

"Young Lord, although the Shadow Assassin Camp excels at concealment, the Black Water Illusory Sea Formation below has already taken shape. If they force their way in, I fear they might also be deceived by the illusions," the Grand Elder reminded with some concern.

"Illusions?"

Xu Chen sneered. The golden light in the depths of his eyes shot out like a physical substance, turning into countless tiny golden runes that merged directly into the Void Realm.

"This Young Master has already used the Divine Pupils to lock onto the positions of all the Formation eyes. These runes will point the way for them. In the face of absolute physical demolition, even the most exquisite Formation is just a pile of scrap metal."

Xu Chen raised his right hand and casually snapped his fingers in mid-air.

Snap.

This crisp snap of the fingers was like a key opening the gates of Hell.

In a patch of shadow behind the Xu Family warship, the Void Realm rippled without warning.

Thousands of ghost-like figures peeled away silently from the shadows. They were entirely shrouded in black tight-fitting clothes, wearing blank masks without any facial features, and holding pitch-black short blades coated in potent poison.

The moment these thousands of Shadow Assassinss received the guidance of Xu Chen's Divine Thought, they were like ink dropping into the ocean, instantly merging into the surrounding space and disappearing completely.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield below.

Helian Yue's Ten Absolute Black Water Illusory Sea Formation was already operating at its peak.

Nangong Waner and Lin Qingxue stood back-to-back, trapped at the edge of the Formation. Around them was black water so thick it wouldn't disperse, and various hideous and terrifying phantoms constantly surfaced on the water, attempting to tear apart their sword hearts.

"Sister Qingxue, this broken Formation is too bizarre; my Sword Intent actually can't burn through this black water!" Nangong Waner gritted her silver teeth, shouting as she swung her sword to shatter a phantom beast pouncing toward her.

Lin Qingxue's face was also somewhat pale, but her gaze remained firm.

"Sister Nangong, guard your heart! This is just an illusion. As long as we don't lose our composure, it cannot harm us. The Young Master is watching from above; he will surely find a way to break the Formation."

Before Lin Qingxue could finish her sentence, a bizarre fluctuation suddenly came from deep within the Formation.

On the altar.

Helian Yue was toying with the wine cup in her hand, admiring the sight of the two women struggling within the Formation.

"Still counting on your shrinking turtle Young Lord? This Commandery Princess's Formation has as many as three hundred and sixty Formation eyes, and they change positions at any time. Unless he can destroy the entire earth pulse for thirty miles around in one strike, no one can save you."

Helian Yue's words were filled with absolute confidence.

However, this confidence of hers lasted for less than ten breaths of time.

Pfft!

A slight yet hair-raising sound of a sharp blade slitting a throat suddenly rang out beneath a giant beast bone on the left side of the altar.

There sat a foreign Early Stage Saint warlock, cross-legged, responsible for controlling the Formation eye hub.

The warlock didn't even have time to scream before his head flew into the air. Black tainted blood sprayed onto the white beast bone, a shocking sight.

Behind his corpse, a faint phantom flickered and vanished, merging back into the darkness.

With the death of this warlock, the entire Ten Absolute Black Water Illusory Sea Formation shuddered violently, and a clear stagnation appeared in the previously flawless operation of the Formation.

"What happened?!"

The laziness on Helian Yue's face vanished instantly. She stood up abruptly, an unbelievable light flashing in her narrow fox-like eyes.

This warlock's position was extremely well-hidden and protected by layers of illusory Formations. How could he have his throat slit silently?

Before she could react, the same scene began to play out simultaneously in various corners of the battlefield.

Pfft!

Pfft! Pfft!

The dull sounds of blades entering flesh rang out one after another in the black mist.

Those Formation controllers hidden deep underground or behind layers of protection from the foreign army fell into pools of blood one by one, as if they had been marked by the God of Death.

Shadow Assassin Camp!

Under the precise navigation of Xu Chen's Heavenly Dao Divine Pupils, these emotionless killing machines bypassed all the fancy illusions and peripheral defenses. Like precision-guided missiles, they aimed directly at the core personnel of the Formation for physical elimination.

So what if your Formation is exquisite? So what if your Formation eyes change quickly?

I'll just slaughter everyone controlling the Formation; let's see how your broken Formation continues to operate!

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

Helian Yue felt the Formation eyes she had set up being destroyed at a terrifying speed, and her proud spirit finally showed cracks.

She frantically activated the purple rune on her forehead, attempting to use the Origin power of the illusory sea spirit fetus to find those killers hidden in the Void Realm.

But the Shadow Assassinss existed between reality and illusion. Coupled with the cover of Xu Chen's spatial Law, Helian Yue's proud illusions couldn't even touch the corners of their clothes.

Rumble!

As the last few dozen core warlocks were eliminated by the Shadow Assassinss, the massive Ten Absolute Black Water Illusory Sea Formation finally began to collapse entirely due to the loss of energy support.

The black miasma filling the sky dissipated rapidly like a receding tide, revealing the blood-stained battlefield below.

Nangong Waner and Lin Qingxue, who were still struggling in the Formation, felt their vision clear as those annoying phantoms vanished instantly.

"The Formation is broken?" Nangong Waner's peach-blossom eyes widened in surprise, and she let out a long sigh of relief.

Lin Qingxue raised her head, her gaze bypassing layers of obstacles to accurately find the man standing with his hands behind his back at the bow of the warship.

On the altar.

Helian Yue looked at the corpses of the warlocks lying in pools of blood around her and then at the completely disintegrated killing Formation. She trembled with rage and kicked the table in front of her into pieces.

"Bastard! You Central State natives, you don't follow the rules!"

Helian Yue roared through gritted teeth.

She had spent countless efforts to set up this Formation, even going as far as using her own soldiers as bait. She originally thought she could use her intelligence to crush this group of natives who only knew how to use brute force.

But she never expected the opponent to be even more ruthless and even less honorable than her!

Sending high-level assassination units directly for physical demolition was simply the greatest insult to her as a Formation Master!

"Rules? In this Central State territory, This Young Master's word is the rule."

A lazy yet infinitely domineering voice suddenly rang out above Helian Yue's head.

Helian Yue snapped her head up.

She saw that Xu Chen had left the warship at some point. He walked through the air, and with every step, a circle of silver-white ripples spread through the Void Realm beneath his feet.

Like a deity inspecting the mortal realm, he walked step by step to the sky above the bone altar, looking down from a height at this exasperated foreign Eldest Commandery Princess.

"Your Formation isn't bad. Unfortunately, your brain doesn't work very well."

Xu Chen looked at Helian Yue's glamorous face, flushed with anger, and a teasing smile curled at the corners of his mouth.

"Now, all your trump cards are exhausted. Do you plan to surrender obediently and return with This Young Master to be a bed-warming maid, or do you plan to resist stubbornly and be taken back after I break your limbs?"

Facing Xu Chen's undisguised teasing and contempt, Helian Yue's proud self-esteem suffered an unprecedented provocation.

"Arrogant native! You're looking for death!"

Helian Yue shouted angrily, her Early Stage Saint cultivation erupting without reservation.

A flash of light appeared in her hand, and a crimson long whip emitting a thick scent of blood appeared.

The long whip let out a piercing sonic boom in mid-air, turning into a venomous snake and lashing fiercely toward Xu Chen in the sky with terrifying power that tore through space.

She wanted to let this high-and-mighty man know that she, Helian Yue, was not just a Formation Master, but also a warrior capable of drinking blood on the battlefield!
