Chapter 332: Nine Mystic Heavenly Firmament Formation
All the ordinary disciples of Fen Tian Gate withdrew, because even if they went up, they would simply be throwing their lives away. At this moment, those besieging Yun Che were all middle-level figures in the Earth Xuan Realm, but their encirclement was not much different from mere suicide. Under Yun Che's heavy sword, they were like piles of rotten wood, crushed into pieces one after another. Their only effect was... The old man who had spoken earlier—beneath his violent and unmatched power, the surrounding air was instantly forced apart, and the space in front of Dragon Gate caved into a faint, almost imperceptible arc.
The momentum of this sword caused the old man's expression to change drastically, but it immediately calmed down. The nine men surrounding Yun Che simultaneously moved, nine Heaven-Burning Blades attacking from different directions with scorching waves of heat that nearly melted space itself.
Clang!!
The resounding clash was almost enough to shatter eardrums. Six Heaven-Burning Blades struck Yun Che's Dragon Gate at the same time, and a fierce storm of profound energy exploded instantly. Yun Che was knocked back four or five steps, a slight numbness in his wrist... Meanwhile, opposite him, all six were sent flying at least a dozen paces—but they were merely knocked back, suffering no substantial harm. And as Yun Che's body briefly lost balance, three streams of cold aura lunged from behind, and three Heaven-Burning Blades simultaneously slashed across his back.
Pfft...
Blood sprayed from Yun Che's back, and three half-foot-long, half-inch-deep bloody gashes were carved into his back. A sharp pain shot from his back, instantly igniting his ferocity. He let out a furious roar, and Dragon Gate swung backward with an angry dragon's howl. With a loud crash, three Heaven-Burning Blades snapped in two and flew out of their wielders' hands, and the three Fen Tian Gate elders who had wounded him were all sent flying far into the distance.
The combined strike of those six had nearly completely neutralized his heavy sword's attack, and the attacks from the three behind him had all dealt him not-inconsiderable external wounds... Yun Che's brow furrowed slightly, his entire profound energy boiling like raging hot water—this formation was far more formidable than he had imagined.
While Yun Che was mildly surprised, Fen Tian Gate was utterly terrified.
Though they had managed to wound Yun Che in a single exchange, the combined attack of the six not only failed to gain the upper hand but had all been repelled by him. The three full-powered slashes from behind had only cut three insignificant bloody gashes!!
These nine men were no ordinary Heavenly Xuan experts! Under the Nine Mystic Heavenly Firmament Formation, they had gathered the full power of thirty Heavenly Xuan cultivators!
They couldn't believe that Yun Che's strength and physique were so horrifying.
Despite their immense shock, they were fully convinced that once the Nine Mystic Heavenly Firmament Formation was unleashed, no matter how strong Yun Che was, he would never leave alive today. Because, aside from the reclusive Supreme Elders and Supreme Gate Master, this was the most powerful force Fen Tian Gate could muster! And under this mystic formation, Yun Che—who had been invincible until now—had indeed been wounded in one encounter.
