Even though they had witnessed Long Tianji's terrifying thods and knew he was no ordinary Heavenly King, they figured he might be able to contend with a single Martial Saint. But now... five of them had appeared at once!
How was he supposed to fight one against many?
Having already arrived nearby, Shaosiming, who was just about to reveal herself, was completely dumbfounded by the scene. She didn't dare move any closer, fearing she'd be caught in the crossfire, yet she was also ecstatic.
Haha! Talk about instant karma! Long Tianji is definitely done for this ti, right? Although he luckily escaped from a War God's grasp, he was utterly powerless during that confrontation. A Martial Saint is no match for a War God, of course, but five of them together… surely they aren't much weaker? They can definitely finish off that beast!
"More of those living dead Puppets from Langhuan Holy Land?" Lin Tang's Divine Sense swept over them. He imdiately realized they were of the sa nature as Martial Saint No. 7. Since there's a No. 7, it's only natural for a No. 6, No. 5, and so on to exist.
"As it happens, I was just thinking my subordinates are neither nurous nor strong enough," Lin Tang smiled, beckoning to them with a finger. "You've co at the perfect ti. I'll graciously accept this gift."
"Still talking tough at death's door?" the five Martial Saints sneered.
Ever since they lost contact with No. 7, the Saint Lord of Langhuan knew he had failed. Since the Saint Lord himself could not leave the Holy Land to personally capture Long Tianji, he spent so ti figuring out how to activate a precious Array Plate. It was called the Golden Light Demon-Suppressing Array, a Formation created by martial experts in Ancient Tis specifically to counter "demons"—that is, Cultivators. Powered by potent energy, it fused their attacks, evolving them into an exponentially more powerful force.
Originally, even without the Array Plate, he felt that five Martial Saints would be more than enough to sweep aside all opposition and successfully capture Long Tianji. With the Array Plate, their success was supposed to be foolproof, with no possibility of failure.
Unfortunately for him, he had still underestimated Lin Tang's thods.
Or rather, had he sent the five Martial Saints with the Array Plate to deal with Lin Tang from the very beginning, they most likely would have succeeded. Now, however, things were different. Lin Tang was far stronger than when he first encountered Martial Saint No. 7. He had also acquired auxiliary assets such as his flying sword, Vestnt robe, command arrows, and bow and arrows.
"Set up the formation!"
Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. The five Martial Saints didn't bother testing the waters, activating the Array Plate at once. It transford into layers of light and shadow, enveloping Lin Tang. The potent energy soared skyward, descending like a massive grindstone to brutally crush him. If left unchecked, it could smash all nearby buildings and people into pulp within a few breaths.
"You call this a Formation? Let show you a real one!"
Lin Tang likewise activated his command arrows, turning them into points of light as nurous as the sands of the Ganges, dreamlike and illusory. This was the Celestial Stars Formation!
Instantly, everything within a radius of several thousand ters was enveloped. The space itself seed to have been completely severed and shifted to a different dinsion. The grindstone-like energy was like a punch thrown into a sponge—ineffective and utterly useless. The buildings and people were all safe and sound, completely protected.
Seeing this, the five Martial Saints' faces fell. "He knows formations too?"
"Quick, increase the output and break it!"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The amplified energy channeled by the Martial Saints through the Array Plate transford, materializing as a hundred-ter-tall giant. With three heads and six arms, it looked terrifyingly lifelike. It roared as it unleashed a barrage of punches and various high-temperature light waves, annihilating the beams of starlight one by one. The scene was apocalyptic, as if the sky were collapsing and the earth were splitting apart.
Zhao Xinghe and the others swayed on their feet, trembling with fear, their hearts in their throats. They had thought they were about to be buried alongside Long Tianji. Yet, after a long while, they were still completely unhard.
"This..."
"It doesn't seem as terrifying as we imagined!"
"What are they doing?"
The crowd looked on with peculiar expressions. They watched as the hundred-ter giant was gradually engulfed by more and more starlight, shrinking until it completely disappeared. Then, they watched the five Martial Saints scramble around like headless flies, striking fruitlessly at the empty air. It was obvious they were lost but completely unaware of it.
How is this possible? Five Martial Saints were defeated? And so easily? They didn't even harm a single hair on Long Tianji's head! Shaosiming stood gaping, unable to believe her eyes.
"Hmph, get over here!"
Lin Tang had, of course, noticed her. With a point of his command arrow, Shaosiming was teleported directly in front of him.
She scread in fright and imdiately turned to run, but it was as if a treadmill had appeared beneath her feet. No matter how fast she moved her legs, she was just running in place. Finally, Lin Tang grabbed her by the collar, lifting her up so her feet dangled in the air.
"Pervert, let go of !" Shaosiming twisted her head with all her might, puckering her lips as if to spit.
Ning Yuexi watched, speechless. Could she have been defiled by Lin Tang, too? Why else would she call him that?
"Oh? It seems you didn't co to apologize and ransom your sister," Lin Tang teased.
Shaosiming froze. Right. I ca looking for him, so why am I running?
"Long Tianji, our Lady has temporarily agreed to your request for a truce! Now, give back my sister!"
"? Request a truce? You have it backwards! Enough talk, where are the hundred treasures I demanded?"
"Here, take them!" Shaosiming tossed the bracelet to him.
Lin Tang tossed her aside in turn. With a grasping motion, he made the bracelet levitate just above his palm. He wouldn't risk touching it before inspecting it thoroughly. What if it was another harmful item like a Tightening Spell? He wouldn't be so foolish as to suffer a great loss.
Scanning it inch by inch with his Divine Sense, Lin Tang confird the bracelet was also a Storage Magical Artifact. Only then did he carefully cover it with a wisp of True Qi, refining it with ease. Once the process was complete, he could "see" the space within, which was lined with rows of gleaming, translucent Spirit Crystals.
