Playing with fantasy beasts in the martial arts world

Chapter 134 The Illusionary Beast Formation, Relentless Bombardment

"Retreat!" Guo Jing shouted, and the seven people separated at the same time, each taking their own corner. Although they were still surrounding the Prince of Leisure, they were now at least five or six meters away from him. If the Prince of Leisure intended to break through, such a large gap would be enough for him to run back and forth several times.

However, the carefree king clearly did not intend to leave so easily. The exchange just now had allowed him to figure out everyone's strengths and weaknesses.

So he said confidently, "Is that all you've got?"

"You can barely protect yourselves, but you can only escape, and you can't escape separately. At most, I'll be able to grasp the key to your formation in about two hundred moves, and then kill you one by one!"

Guo Jing took a few breaths and glanced at his father-in-law and Master Yideng, whose faces were slightly pale.

The two swallowed a pill of Impermanence at the same time, which not only restored their internal strength but also stimulated their energy, allowing their depleted energy to continue to flourish under the influence of the drug.

However, given their current age and physical condition, doing this is undoubtedly burning through their lives.

"Again!" With a shout, the seven surrounded the enemy a second time, and the battle continued.

Every ten minutes or so afterward, they would disperse, and the Carefree King would not take the opportunity to attack. Instead, he displayed great composure, allowing everyone to catch their breath.

This strategy was, of course, the idea suggested by Cha Nan.

The carefree king was a master of disguise; over time, he even fooled himself.

Before feeling threatened, he was happy to display the demeanor of a grandmaster, giving his opponent enough room to grow and recover. This not only demonstrated his magnanimity but also made him seem lonely and lacking in opponents, like a true martial arts fanatic.

The Big Dipper Formation, composed of seven people, could restrict him, but it lacked a real means to break through his defenses. Therefore, the Carefree King was willing to continue 'acting' like this until he saw through all the changes in the formation and felt bored... Only then would he begin to strike ruthlessly.

However, even he did not notice that with each gathering and dispersal of the formation, the location of the battle had long since moved from the city wall to inside the city, and then all the way south.

Many residential buildings were destroyed by the aftershocks of the fighting. If most of the people in Xiangyang had not been mobilized to defend the city, they would not have lived in these houses. If they had fought their way through, they would have likely harmed a large number of innocent people.

Bang!Bang!Bang!
The air surged and the powerful energy transformed into clouds.

Under the cover of darkness, the seven grandmasters who were besieging the Carefree King simultaneously groaned and retreated once again.

"Again and again... You think you can stump me with a mere formation based on the changes of the Big Dipper? How much do you underestimate me?" The carefree king's voice was loud but sharp, as if he no longer wanted to continue this entanglement.

He started to get bored!

However, this time the crowd that retreated dispersed much further away.

A dense sound of footsteps approached, and Xiaoyao Hou suddenly turned around to see a group of strange men dressed in black, masked, and wearing bamboo hats, all carrying iron rods and surrounding him.

"Tch! There are others?" The Carefree King didn't sense any danger, so he sneered.

These 'people' who surrounded him didn't possess the aura and spirit of a grandmaster, so the Carefree King didn't take them seriously at all.

Meanwhile, the sixteen black-clad 'men' wielding iron rods assumed their stances, and at the same time, a halo of gold and red light burst forth from their bodies.

These black-clad "men" were none other than Iron Fist Apes, and Iron Fist Apes who had mastered the Great Subduing Demon Fist and the Five Elements Eight Trigrams Staff Formation. A considerable number of them were even Kakarot's "offspring," inheriting Kakarot's "Diamond Body."

The staff formation was deployed, and the Iron Fist Apes charged forward fearlessly.

The carefree king possessed an overwhelming aura; his fists, palms, claws, and legs were all weapons comparable to peerless divine weapons, and with a few sweeps, he shattered these iron-fisted apes into pieces.

"They have good talent, but their skills are too shallow... They're just asking for death!" the Carefree King laughed.

Then his laughter stopped abruptly because... another group of men in black attacked.

These men in black didn't linger. They immediately emitted strange light and their aura surged as they launched a frenzied attack.

Once their aura subsided, they retreated without hesitation, allowing others to take their place, and then quickly disappeared around the corner.

After the carefree king repelled the current wave, another wave was already rushing up.

And so it went, wave after wave, seemingly endless.

Even with the boundless strength and profound cultivation of the Carefree King, such excessive consumption would eventually lead to exhaustion.

Under these circumstances, the Carefree King knew perfectly well that he had been tricked. He activated his protective aura, forcing back seven or eight Iron Fist Apes dressed in black. Then, with a flourish, he prepared to retreat.

However, the seven grandmasters who had been waiting for this moment came up again.

With these seven people working together, even if the Carefree King wanted to escape, he couldn't. He could only be trapped, and then the 'Iron Fist Apes' would take over again.

The Carefree King was utterly enraged. His inner energy transformed into sword energy, which he unleashed with unrestrained fury, striking and ravaging the Iron Fist Apes. Their bodies exploded, revealing their true forms. "Strange beasts?"

"So that's how it is!" When the carefree king saw the faces and tails of the Iron Fist Apes, his sense of unease deepened.

But before he could retreat, the masters came again, forcibly dragging him away and preventing him from breaking free.

Meanwhile, in a dark corner, some Moon Scythe Demons who had been waiting suddenly moved out. With a leap, they appeared beside the Carefree King, their sharp claws slashing at the Carefree King's protective aura with the overwhelming force of the Nine Yin White Bone Claw.

Although his defenses weren't breached, it still slightly startled the Carefree King.

It was yet another strange beast that had not appeared in the intelligence he had collected.

How could that kid named 'Cha Nan' tame so many strange beasts that I've never seen before?
The Moon Scythe Demons' sneak attack could only be considered a kind of tug-of-war.

The bomb birds' rapid swooping attack made the carefree king a little nervous.

He knew how formidable those bomb birds were.

He might not care about the power of a single self-destructing creature.

However, if multiple explosions occur simultaneously, he is not confident that he can completely prevent them all from exploding.

The carefree king tried to escape again, but the seven grandmasters pounced on him once more and pulled him away, preventing him from running away.

"Stop... Do you all want to die together?" The Carefree King roared in anger, slashing his palms repeatedly, trying to carve a path through the air.

The crowd turned a deaf ear.

All seven were Paru of Cha Nan, and no matter how strong the attacks of the phantom beasts were, they could not harm them.

This pattern of seven people mainly restraining and pulling the enemy, while the magical beasts mainly consume and attack, was established long ago.

"Guo Jing, aren't you worried that the city walls will be breached by Jinlun Fawang and his men while you're here?"

"All the grandmasters you could gather are here, aren't they?"

"Without a grandmaster on the city wall, how can we defend against the Golden Wheel Monk and Phagpa?" This was the only way that the Carefree King could think of to shake Guo Jing and the others.

His situation wasn't truly critical at the moment, but it wasn't optimistic. If this entanglement continued, his protective aura would be worn down, and he wouldn't be far from being truly breached.

However, the threat from the Carefree King did not shake Guo Jing and the others.

When the Golden Wheel Dharma King and Phagpa arrived together atop the city wall, they saw a burly man carrying a wine jar, standing alone on the wall, letting the fierce wind whip through his clothes and hair.

"who are you?"

"You think you can stop the two of us by yourself?" Jinlun Fawang said, looking at Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng did not answer the first question, but simply said, "I alone am enough!"

"Arrogant!" the Golden Wheel Monk roared, then lunged at Xiao Feng.

Guo Jing couldn't beat him, but this strong man in front of him, even if he was a grandmaster, how could he be so easily underestimated?

Roar!
With a deafening roar and a strong gust of wind, a golden, enraged dragon pounced and tore at the Golden Wheel Monk, sending him flying more than ten meters before crashing off the city wall.

Xiao Feng opened his arms wide, and the raging wind danced around him as if obeying his commands.

"Come!" he shouted, then rushed toward Phagpa.

Phagpa formed the lotus mudra with his hands, and his body shimmered with golden light.

When Xiao Feng punched him in the chest, it produced a sound like a great bell, and cracks like spider webs appeared on Phagpa's solid and hard lotus-shaped golden body.

"What domineering fist techniques, what domineering true energy, what a domineering person..." Phagpa said, taking a few steps back. His lotus golden body slowly retracted, and he looked at Xiao Feng with apprehension, waiting for the Golden Wheel Monk to return.

He knew very well that he was no match for the burly man in front of him on his own.

Although they were at the same level, the person before him seemed like a wrathful Vajra descended from the heavens, or a killing star descended to earth, and could not be judged by ordinary standards.
