The problem is getting serious
His entire body blazed with scorching flames, and his fists, adorned with Supreme-Grade King Rank gauntlets, continuously blasted out enormous fireballs over twenty feet in diameter, like a descent of heavenly fire, their power terrifyingly astonishing.
Each time he threw a punch, it triggered a violent explosion.
Boom boom boom....
Under his attack, Five Elements Giants disintegrated one after another, and the mountains along the way were shattered, unleashing horrifying tidal waves of fire.
In an instant, they swept in all directions, causing the temperature within the Great Formation to continuously skyrocket.
The earth and rocks turned into dark red lava, incinerating countless trees.
This person was none other than the City Defense Army Commander, Fang Nantian.
He possessed Martial King Level 9 cultivation.
Although Fang Nantian only had Martial King Level 9 cultivation, his combat power had also reached Martial King Level 10.
If the amplification from his Supreme-Grade King Rank gauntlets was factored in, his combat power was almost about to step into the Quasi-Emperor Rank domain.
The last elder was Wu Yuanhai, the Wu Family Head, with Martial King Level 8 cultivation.
He wore a set of dark green Supreme-Grade King Rank battle armor and wielded a green poisonous staff, continuously unleashing Origin Qi imbued with potent venom to attack the Five Elements Giants from all directions.
However, the Five Elements Giants were inanimate objects and were not affected by the poisonous Origin Qi, which also meant that Wu Yuanhai's attacks posed the least threat to them.
"Brother Li, this Five Elements Trapping Kill Array can continuously absorb Origin Qi from heaven and earth to replenish itself. If this continues, we will eventually be depleted of Origin Qi."
Fang Nantian punched and exploded more than a dozen Five Elements Giants, his expression serious.
In fact, even if their Origin Qi wasn't completely consumed by this Great Formation, as long as it dropped to a certain level, the Golden Crown Giant Serpent King and other Beast Lords who had been secretly observing them would make their move.
They were already few in number, and now they were being worn down by the opponent's Great Formation, making their situation increasingly difficult.
Li Cangjian also unleashed his sword qi, destroying more than a dozen Five Elements Giants, and frowned, saying:
"We must destroy the Great Formation's core. As long as we can get out, even if we want to leave, the Golden Crown Giant Serpent King won't be able to stop us."
"I wonder how Yao Jinlei is doing. It would be great if he had his Instant Movement secret technique."
Fang Nantian thought of Yao Jinlei at this moment.
For the first time in his life, he envied Yao Jinlei's Instant Movement secret technique so much.
However, as soon as Fang Nantian spoke, a cold, mocking voice came from outside.
"Fang Nantian, don't even think about Yao Jinlei."
"He is currently trapped by the Silverback Bear King's Spatial Sealing Great Formation. He can barely protect himself, let alone come to save you. You should just enjoy the taste of this Supreme-Grade Emperor Rank Five Elements Trapping Kill Array!"
The owner of this voice was none other than the Golden Crown Giant Serpent King, who wanted to use this to strike at the confidence of the three.
Upon hearing this, Li Cangjian and Fang Nantian's expressions changed.
At this moment, Wu Yuanhai, who was not far away, also approached, frowning and saying:
"City Lord, what should we do now? My Origin Qi is very effective against living beings, but its effect is greatly reduced against these energy constructs."
Wu Yuanhai's face was bitter.
Facing these lifeless Five Elements Giants, his cultivation seemed to have dropped by a minor realm.
Li Cangjian also had no solution, but he didn't want to discourage his teammates, so he simply said:
"Then you retreat behind me and Nantian. That way, your pressure will be lighter."
"However, you must use this time to find the core location of this Great Formation. Only by breaking the core of this Great Formation will the Golden Crown Giant Serpent King and the others be unable to do anything to us."
"Alright, then I'll be responsible for finding the Great Formation's core. City Lord, Commander Fang, you two be extra careful."
Since Li Cangjian said so, Wu Yuanhai did not act politely.
He directly retreated behind the two, striking out attacks to deal with the few scattered Five Elements Giants rushing over, while observing the entire Five Elements Trapping Kill Array.
The area of this Great Formation was very large, and there were mountains and forests everywhere, and because it had been affected by Origin Qi energy, it was badly damaged.
So, finding the core of this Great Formation in these places was not an easy task.
Furthermore, the higher the Great Formation's level, the more subtly hidden its core would be.
Even Great Formations that reached the Saint Tier would have spiritual cores that could move on their own, making them difficult to locate.
Although the core of this Emperor Rank Great Formation could not move, it was still not that easy to find.
Boom boom boom....
The battle within the Great Formation was still ongoing.
With one less person to share the burden, Li Cangjian and Fang Nantian felt even greater pressure.
But their strength was immense; each attack could take down dozens of Five Elements Giants.
However, very quickly, this Great Formation once again condensed many Five Elements Giants, and their numbers grew with each instance.
Fighting to this point, Li Cangjian and Fang Nantian both realized a serious problem.
Fang Nantian's expression changed; he saw that even after the Five Elements Giants they killed disintegrated, their dissipated energy was once again utilized by this Great Formation to condense into new Five Elements Giants.
In addition, this Great Formation could continuously absorb Origin Qi from the outside world to condense Five Elements Giants.
This made their pressure increasingly immense.
Although the strength of these Five Elements Giants was not very high, only at the Martial King Level 2 or 3, their advantage lay in their large numbers and their almost "undead" nature.
An enemy that was destined to be inexhaustible and only grew in number.
It was only because Li Cangjian and Fang Nantian's wills were extremely firm.
If it were anyone else, they would have long since lost heart.
"Mr. Wu, please find the core as soon as possible."
Li Cangjian could only place his hope on Wu Yuanhai, the Wu Family Head, at this moment.
"City Lord, rest assured, this old man will do his utmost to find the core location!"
Wu Yuanhai responded, and then he sped up his gaze, searching all parts of the Great Formation.
But he looked and looked throughout the entire Great Formation area and still could not find the core's location.
With the core still unfound and the number of Five Elements Giants continuously increasing, Li Cangjian and Fang Nantian's pressure grew heavier and heavier.
The two exchanged glances, both realizing that if this continued, they would surely die.
"Damn you, Golden Crown Giant Serpent King, if you have the guts, come out and fight me one-on-one! I promise not to skin you alive."
Feeling that the Origin Qi in his body had dropped significantly, Li Cangjian shouted in all directions, hoping to provoke the Golden Crown Giant Serpent King into coming out.
He knew that instead of waiting for death in the Great Formation, they might as well try to kill their strongest enemy.
That way, they might still have a glimmer of hope.
The Golden Crown Giant Serpent King saw Li Cangjian's purpose and coldly refused, saying, "Li Cangjian, I have endured your suppression for so many years, and I don't mind enduring a little longer."
"At that time, I will personally meet you. I just hope you don't turn into a weakling then, ha ha ha...."
The Golden Crown Giant Serpent King laughed heartily, seemingly not taking Li Cangjian's taunts to heart at all.
"Golden Crown Giant Serpent King, you are truly a cowardly snake! And the Red Maple Mountain Forest's number one Lord? I think you are more like the Red Maple Mountain Forest's number one coward! If I were you, I would have found a piece of tofu to smash my head against and die, to avoid disgracing the beasts!"
