814: Chapter 803 All troops, heed my command—Break the formation!

At this moment, Holy Son Lu Xuanji could not be more excited.

In stark contrast to the joy on Yuntai Academy's side, the four major forces were currently somewhat bewildered.

They had originally thought this offensive and defensive battle would be as easy as in previous years—the defenders of Yuntai Academy were all just a motley crew, mostly Loose Cultivators, with weak strength; they believed they could easily secure victory once they launched a full-scale attack.

Unexpectedly, a possessor of Dark Spiritual Power had appeared out of nowhere; not only was he incredibly powerful, but he was also a Spirit Array Master!

A single Spirit Array had trapped dozens of them, disrupting their rhythm.

This turn of events had caught them off guard for a moment.

High in the sky behind the four major forces, the strongest Prodigies dispatched by the four major forces to attack Yuntai Academy were positioned here.

The four were Lu Wushuang of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Liu Qingyin of the Falling Clouds Valley, Zhao Xuan of the Mysterious Spirit Hall, and Feng Lie of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion.

Lu Wushuang was dressed in white, his expression cold and stern, with surging Sword Intent surrounding him;

Liu Qingyin wore a purple dress, her figure slender, her face beautiful, with colorful light swirling around her;

Zhao Xuan wore a green robe, his expression scholarly and elegant, with spiritual light flickering around him;

Feng Lie wore black, his features rugged, with wind and thunder circling around him.

The four stood high in the sky, looking down at the battlefield below, their expressions no longer as relaxed as before.

"Yuntai Academy has finally invited an interesting aid this year," Zhao Xuan said lightly, looking at Qin Yan below.

"He is not bad, but it is a pity that his strength is a bit weak," Feng Lie said, his voice rough and casual.

His gaze did not linger on Qin Yan for long; after a mere glance, he shifted his focus to the high altitude of Yuntai Academy!

The opponents there were the ones he was looking forward to.

As for that Spiritual Power Cultivator with Dark Spiritual Power below, he was still too weak and not worth his attention.

With a Rank 6 Peak cultivation base and Mental Energy that wasn't very powerful, no matter how many tricks he had, how strong could he really be?

He probably couldn't even withstand a single move from him.

"This youth cannot be underestimated. He is definitely a Prodigy from some major power."

Liu Qingyin was enveloped in colorful light, her voice carrying a hint of seriousness.

She had discovered that although Qin Yan's cultivation base was not high, his foundation was extremely deep—the quality of his Dark Spiritual Power was extremely high, his techniques for setting up Spirit Arrays were extremely skilled, and his judgment during battle was extremely precise.

Such a person was definitely not a Disciple of an ordinary power.

There must be a powerful force behind him.

"What do you mean by not to be underestimated? If this kid could Cultivate his Mental Energy to the Rank 7 Peak, perhaps he would barely catch my eye. Right now, he is still too weak."

Feng Lie said with a face full of disdain, his voice carrying a hint of contempt and impatience.

In his view, Qin Yan was just a young man with some talent who had not yet fully grown.

It was too early to pay attention to him now.

It would not be too late to fight him when he grows to the Grandmaster Peak.

"This guy can defeat Grandmaster Middle Stage opponents as if they were nothing without even summoning his Golden Body; his strength has definitely reached the Grandmaster Late Stage. If he activates his Golden Body, his terrifying strength won't be far from the Grandmaster Peak. I think we still need to be careful with this guy."

Liu Qingyin continued, her voice carrying a hint of persistence and seriousness.

She had a premonition—this guy would become the variable in this offensive and defensive battle.

"Women are so annoying, dithering and indecisive."

Feng Lie said impatiently, his voice carrying a hint of mockery and disdain.

He had always had a prejudice against women, believing them to be troublesome, indecisive, and full of drama.

In his eyes, Liu Qingyin was no exception.

"You—!"

Liu Qingyin's voice was full of anger, and the colorful light around her fluctuated violently, as if it would erupt at any moment.

The two immediately started arguing.

Liu Qingyin accused Feng Lie of being arrogant and contemptuous, while Feng Lie mocked Liu Qingyin for being indecisive.

Neither would give an inch, and the argument became more and more intense, their auras rising; it looked as if they might start fighting at any moment if things went wrong.

"Stop arguing."

At this moment, Lu Wushuang finally spoke. As his voice fell, a powerful aura surged from him, enveloping the two.

That aura was like an invisible mountain pressing down on them, causing their argument to come to an abrupt end.

After sensing Lu Wushuang's terrifying aura, the two finally stopped.

Lu Wushuang was a bit speechless seeing this scene.

He had not wanted to be the commander-in-chief, but his Sect had insisted.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and take on this task, while also having to coordinate these two teammates who loved to argue.

"I am the commander-in-chief for this offensive battle. I hope your two Sects can temporarily set aside your grievances and first conquer Yuntai Academy. After that, you can do whatever you want."

"If you do not listen to orders, I do not mind using my strength to make you obey."

Lu Wushuang's words were not polite at all, carrying a tone of command.

His gaze swept over Feng Lie and Liu Qingyin, carrying a hint of warning.

But upon hearing this, neither of them refuted him.

Firstly, Lu Wushuang was the commander-in-chief this time, and they had to obey his orders;

Secondly, Lu Wushuang was the strongest among the four, and he was also a Saint of the Heavenly Sword Sect!

There was an insurmountable gap between a Saint-level Prodigy and ordinary Prodigies.

The three of them were merely super Prodigies of their respective Sects, but they were still some distance away from the positions of Saint or Saintess.

Facing Lu Wushuang, they had no qualifications to bargain.

Seeing that the two had quieted down, Lu Wushuang continued.

"I have also observed this Spiritual Power Cultivator with Dark Spiritual Power; he is truly strange and needs to be dealt with as a priority."

Lu Wushuang's gaze fell on Qin Yan below.

"Liu Qingyin, I will leave this Qin Yan to you later. Go and take care of him while you're at it."

"Fine," Liu Qingyin said.

She had intended to take care of Qin Yan, and Lu Wushuang's arrangement was exactly what she wanted.

She could take this opportunity to see exactly how much strength this Qin Yan had, and incidentally eliminate this potential threat.

"Good, let us also make a move. The sooner we conquer Yuntai Academy, the sooner we complete the mission."

After Lu Wushuang finished speaking, he looked down, his voice carrying a hint of majesty.

"All troops, listen up—break the Formation!"

His voice echoed in the Void Realm like a thunderclap, reaching the ears of every Martial Artist on the attacking side.

What he intended to do was to have those Grandmaster Late Stage and Peak powerhouses break the Formation and rescue those Grandmaster Middle Stage Martial Artists trapped within it!

But Holy Son Lu Xuanji was no fool—he had already had his side's team guard the front of the Formation to prevent those Grandmaster Middle Stage Martial Artists from getting out!

He knew that the Thick Earth Trap Array must absolutely not be broken.

If the Formation was broken, those trapped Grandmaster Middle Stage Martial Artists would rejoin the battle, and the situation would fall back into passivity.

He had to hold the Formation and could not let the attacking side succeed.

Immediately, the powerhouses of the two sides confronted each other in front of the Thick Earth Trap Array!

The air was filled with intense Battle Intent.
