A sharp whistling sound rang out. An arrow shot from behind, and Li Xian dodged sideways, seeing the arrow’s swift momentum, deeply embedded in the mountain wall. He thought to himself: "The archer’s skills are formidable, though not as good as mine, yet the numerous opponents, and a volley of arrows, put us in a perilous situation. This tomb is winding, it’s better to avoid the brunt first." He shouted, "Run!"

As it turns out...

This place is a military camp named the "Elite Blood Army." It signifies the essence of Flying Dragon City, all elites, cultivated from childhood, undergoing special medicinal baths and cultivation. Many possess the "Chest Drum Thunder Sound," while "Immortal Mechanism in the Palm" and "Qi Circulation" are common sights. This is He Wentian’s trump card.

When the Lodge of Untroubled was still standing, if an enemy attacked, He Wentian only needed to call on secret sentries. The Elite Blood Army would advance along the boardwalk to the Lodge of Untroubled, hide in the secret mechanisms of the cabinets, and cooperate with the military and arrow formations inside. It was invincible, extremely formidable. Even Wen Caishang, who organized the "Linghu Grand Banquet" in the past, never set foot in the Lodge of Untroubled.

He Wentian once suggested, but Wen Caishang avoided with the reason "Young heroism should see the clear sky." Her intelligence was not common, yet the elders of the Sword Sect had no such concern, leading to today’s situation.

With the collapse of the Lodge of Untroubled, the Elite Blood Army remained highly vigilant, counting names and organizing formations every half a quarter hour, waiting for orders at all times. Li Xian had secretly killed four Elite Blood soldiers, naturally difficult to conceal for long.

It was soon detected, and the troops immediately pursued him, leading to this scene. Although Li Xian and others had strong Lightweight Skills, they were unfamiliar with the tomb passages and were quickly caught up, resulting in a fierce battle.

Li Xian pulled out his spear from his sleeve. Like a ghost python raising its head, murderous intent shot forth, stabbing at the approaching elite soldier. That soldier, clad in red armor, was valiant and skilled in battle, daring to be the first, naturally possessing considerable skill. He had already "Transcended with Food Essence," stepping into the Martial Arts First Realm.

He struggled to block the spear, but the long knife in his hand broke with a "bang." Li Xian took advantage of the situation, sweeping with the spear body, hitting the red-armored elite soldier’s chest. Li Xian’s waist trembled, the spear body changed from "hard" to "soft," bending like a wave. Within it, the Dark Force instantly threw him out. The momentum was as strong as an arrow leaving the bowstring; if it hit the stone wall, his organs would be shattered, bones completely broken. The two soldiers behind the red-armored elite immediately caught him from the sides. But the force was so great that it pushed all three flying together.

Following closely, three white-armored soldiers fully supported them. At this moment, the combined strength of six, with Inner Qi circulation, palms pressing against backs, backs against palms, stabilized like iron sheets, life subtly interconnected, hiding some kind of Martial Arts evolution. The backward flying momentum slowed considerably, their feet could touch the ground, changing to backward steps retreating.

Every footprint sank three inches into the mud. The steps were orderly, remarkably unconfused! Li Xian thought, "This formation is exquisite, and their skill is formidable!"

The six stepped back together, retreating swiftly for over ten yards until reaching the mountain wall. At this instant, six more white-armored soldiers leapt forward, all extending their hands to press against the back of the person in front. The retreating momentum further slowed but still couldn’t be fully stopped. Lastly, twelve more white-armored soldiers came to support.

At this point, twenty-four people had gathered, finally fully slowing the momentum. Twenty-four people stamped their feet together, their chests drummed fiercely, and uttered a "ha" sound, completely dissipating the spear’s great force. Surrounding debris scattered, smoke filled the air, all feeling a sweetness in their throat. The sound of soldiers’ heavy breathing could be heard, but all were unscathed.

The red-armored elite’s legs were weak, supporting himself with the long spear to barely stand. The twenty-four were both amazed and fearful, watching Li Xian stand with the spear slanted, no one daring to get close, the immense force between moments, truly shocking, beyond what an ordinary person could possess.

Li Xian furrowed his brows in thought: "What a formidable military formation. My previous spear strike, although not used with any Martial Arts, carried immense Qi Power, executed in one go, never underestimating. How could it be easily resisted? These twenty-four cooperated seamlessly, actually dissolving all my spear momentum."

"It’s like layer by layer peeling, stripping away my Inner Qi and strength bit by bit."

This was the "Human Element Transformation Array," evolved from a certain Martial Arts set. It uses the momentum of many people to layer by layer peel away the opponent’s Inner Qi, strength, Martial Arts evolution, resolving the mysterious and mysterious momentum. Then consolidate the Inner Qi to resist.

Looking around, similar scenes were everywhere. Lin Aoshan displayed the "Clear Willow Falling Leaf Sword," the Swordsmanship graceful, each strike, unable to be withstood by opponents. Yet the opponents, within formation, realizing they couldn’t resist, retreated with the momentum. There must be soldiers to help them resolve the remaining force. Their attack and defense alternated seamlessly, as if one body.

Wang Long used the "Dustless Swordsmanship," the sword emerged without sound, hiding the killing intent. With the characteristics of Swordsmanship, he had killed a red-armored elite soldier. However, when using the same tactic again, the enemy soldiers all held shields, forming a steel ball in blockade. Bouncing and maneuvering among the stone walls, making Wang Long’s Swordsmanship ineffective!

He lacked experience and had no battle experience. In one-on-one fights, he could rely on innate agility to deal with aberrations. At this moment, the opponents scattered as dozens of people, gathered into a large iron ball. Making it difficult for him to withstand; if not for his companions, he had already considered using "Mist and Rain Luo Sha Steps" to escape.

Han Qingshao used Palm Techniques. Although the Palm Force was thick and deep, there were still corresponding formations resisting, both sides in a stalemate, the sound of weaponry frequent, neither able to overcome the other.

As it turns out, He Wentian’s mind was profound and thorough. Battlefield slaughters are certainly important, but defeating Jianghu experts is also indispensable. The Elite Blood soldiers have three categories: "Red Armored Elite Soldiers," "White Armored Followers," and "Black Armored Uniques." From childhood, they consumed Essence Soup, practiced only formations, not Martial Arts.

If separated, the Red Armored Elite Soldiers are just ordinary people with mere cultivation. If combined, randomly forming formations, quickly changing with utility. Even opponents with higher cultivation become entangled, ultimately captured, caught by surprise.

Li Xian thought, "Fighting them in prolonged combat is ultimately harmful and unprofitable. Even if we wipe them out, reinforcements are sure to arrive. In this situation, better to capitalize on advantages rather than fight recklessly!" He said, "Everyone, the situation forces us, let’s act separately!"
