Chapter 1874 - 1867: Knock Out a Few of His Teeth
"Calling reinforcements?"
Everyone showed a helpless expression.
Where would we get reinforcements? It’s not that we haven’t seen this before; when Zhang Menglong previously called for reinforcements and announced he was going to dismantle the Divine Profound Hall, they ran faster than rabbits and dogs. Who would dare to offend the Divine Profound Hall?
"Clan Leader, where else can we get reinforcements? You don’t expect our Sunset Sect to recklessly go to battle against the Divine Profound Hall, do you?"
"Perhaps not the Divine Profound Hall, but there are so many superpowers besides us and the Divine Profound Hall," Zhang Menglong said. "If one superpower isn’t enough, we can call for several!"
Everyone rolled their eyes again. While the Divine Profound Hall is indeed dominant, if several superpowers united, they could definitely restrain it.
In fact, if the remaining 17 superpowers banded together, it wouldn’t be impossible to uproot the Divine Profound Hall entirely.
But who would be willing to help Zhang Menglong? The Sunset Sect has always played the role of the aloof outsider among the 18 superpowers, not actively creating conflict nor building close ties with the others.
Even the elders and the sect master of Sunset Sect wouldn’t easily get support; could they really count on Zhang Menglong to call out for help, expecting everyone to rush to assist?
"Hahaha, kid, your thinking is too optimistic. You don’t expect other superpowers to come to your rescue, do you?" Mo Tianye taunted, "None of them dare to directly offend our Divine Profound Hall."
"Why is he still yapping?" Zhang Menglong rolled his eyes. "Make him shut up!"
"But Clan Leader, we can’t beat him! We’ve barely managed to trap him; we can’t just let him out!"
"Who said anything about letting him out? Could you use your brain for once?" Zhang Menglong said, frustrated. "I’ve already said this formation’s energy comes from his life force. Attacking this formation equates to attacking him, and your attacks on this formation also equate to attacks on him."
"Is that possible?" Everyone’s eyes lit up.
"If you directly attack him, you might struggle to break through his defense, but attacking this formation deals real damage. Although it isn’t much, it truly affects his life force. If you hit hard enough and long enough, it is possible to defeat him."
"Understood!"
"Got it!"
"My fists are itching, let me do it."
...
"Nine Nether Sunset Art!"
Utilizing the Nine Nether Sunset Art, the power level of nearly everyone in the Shamate Clan reached near Dao Realm standards.
The first person approached the formation and punched it.
Mo Tianye’s face subtly changed; this direct attack on his life force left him unable to make any defensive moves. However, given his vast life force, this attack seemed negligible, even slower than his life force’s recovery speed.
As for the sensation it brought, it was akin to being bitten by a mosquito.
But as long as it’s effective, that’s enough. One person might not be sufficient, but they have over eight thousand people here!
Immediately, hundreds of people sneered and started frantically attacking the formation.
When these hundred attacks combined, the result was far beyond mere mosquito bites; Mo Tianye even felt wave after wave of intense pain throughout his body, though he couldn’t pinpoint where exactly it hurt.
"Hit it hard, when you’re tired, switch out and keep attacking. We’ve got enough supplies!"
Zhang Menglong extravagantly laid out a pile of elixirs on the ground; even if they attacked non-stop for years, they could easily manage.
"Let’s see how long you can survive!" Mo Tianye screamed in agony while still menacingly threatening them.
Understandably, Xuanyun City is only a few cities away from the Divine Profound Hall. At the speed of Dao Realm experts, it would only take a few minutes to reach.
Accounting for the issuance of orders and the gathering of personnel, within an hour, all eighty thousand elders of the Divine Profound Hall could arrive, in front of whom Zhang Menglong and his group would be unable to resist!
"Clan Leader, the situation is dire," someone came forward to report, "I have a relative in the Divine Profound Hall who informed us that eighty thousand elders have already assembled, and can be here in minutes. We’re overwhelmed! Should we make a run for it?"
"What do you mean? Coming to someone else’s city, beating up their City Lord, then running away—that’s petty theft!" Zhang Menglong declared righteously. "What did we come here for? We’re here to confront them head-on; I didn’t plan on leaving!"
"What are we going to do? We aren’t a match for eighty thousand elders!" Suddenly, they remembered something, "Clan Leader, do you have a plan? Did you save your strength?"
"I also think, with that axe just now, even their Hall Master would offer the first cigarette to Clan Leader, right?"
"Perhaps Clan Leader has some kind of massive weapon, one shot taking out ten thousand elders."
"Give me a break, I don’t have that ability," Zhang Menglong said, "I can’t handle eighty thousand elders either. We can only call for reinforcements."
"Huh?"
"But you’re right, they will soon be at our doorstep; we need to ensure our own safety before the reinforcements arrive!"
"Will they really come?"
"I’ll ask in a moment!"
"Ask in a moment?"
"What the—so hasty? I thought Clan Leader was so confident, already called for help, turns out no one’s called yet!"
"Damn, Clan Leader is unbelievable."
...
"Now the question is, even if we call for rescue, how do we survive until then?"
"I’ll set up a formation first," Zhang Menglong said, pulling out a square piece of paper filled with unknown drawings that looked dense and intricate.
"Will it be ready in time, boss? We’ve only got half an hour!" Everyone was a little anxious.
"Let me tell you, this is my latest research," Zhang Menglong said, holding the paper. "I can shrink the formation onto a vessel and then easily set it up someplace else, even mass-produce it. Impressive, right?"
Zhang Menglong knew that unless he showed them, they wouldn’t believe it; he infused energy into the paper in his hand, and the paper quickly ignited.
A surge of energy shot into the sky, forming a circular light in mid-air above Xuanyun City, and within the light, formation patterns automatically started to inscribe themselves. In less than a minute, a complete formation was constructed.
It was a colossal formation over a hundred kilometers in diameter, the largest Zhang Menglong had ever constructed, with nine dragons roaring and swirling over the formation’s plane.
With a dazzling flash, the formation plummeted into the very center of Xuanyun City...
"Is it over?"
"Is setting up formations like this now?"
"That’s brutal, huh?"
"Does that mean anyone can become an Array Master if they just spend some money in the future?"
"Boss, is this formation sturdy?" Though it looked impressive, without testing, no one knew if it could withstand an attack.
"Don’t worry," Zhang Menglong confidently replied. "Even if the Hall Master of the Divine Profound Hall came, I could knock out a few of his teeth!"
