Da Xuan Martial Saint-Chapter 715 - 402
Chapter 715: 402
Another head-on clash occurred, and this time Hou Cheng also staggered back several steps. Although, like Liu Qingyan, he managed to block Ling Huan’s attack, everyone’s faces were not looking good.
“Cough…”
Yan Hong, holding the main Formation Flag of the Earth Fiend Formation, struggled free from the embedded rock layer. Without any hesitation, she reached out to grab a green pill from somewhere and swallowed it, finally bringing some color back to her somewhat pale face.
But her expression was just as grave as everyone else’s.
On the side.
Yan Zhengyang also coughed up a trace of fresh blood, quickly regulating his disordered Inner Breath. His expression was equally ugly.
The Spiritual Ancestor of the Spirit People Race, a true Blood Exchange Realm powerhouse, struck with ferocity and brute strength. A single hit left him and Yan Hong significantly injured, and had it not been them but rather one of the weaker Grandmasters from their team who was attacked before the Earth Fiend Formation could solidify, it would’ve been possible to suffer instant death on the spot!
This is the horror of a Blood Exchange Realm master, even top Grandmasters barely have any “margin for error” against them!
Now that the Earth Fiend Formation was in place and capable of blocking the enemy’s attacks, it was clear from the brief clash that they were at a pure disadvantage, with no chance of equalizing the situation!
One reason was their current lack of manpower. Even with the support of the Earth Fiend Formation Flags to form a battle array, the formation also had its drawbacks; no one could use their preferred techniques or their Spirit Weapons, they could only rely purely on Yuan Gang True Essence to face the enemy, and by linking everyone’s Yuan Gang, they restricted themselves to some extent.
Secondly,
Yan Zhengyang and Yan Hong were already injured from the Spiritual Ancestor’s initial assault. Although their injuries were not severe and could be fully healed in a few hours, how could Ling Huan possibly afford them the time to recuperate and rest?
Ling Huan narrowed his eyes. Without any pause, he vanished and reappeared next to another Grandmaster, pointing a finger directly at them.
The Grandmaster was shocked and did not dare to hesitate. With a shout, he used the Earth Fiend Formation Flag to conjure Yuan Gang, transformed into the Power of the Earth to meet the attack. He pushed up with a palm, and upon contact, felt a tremendous force wash over him, forcing him to retreat several steps as well.
This time, Ling Huan did not stop. He stepped forward and pointed his finger again, intent on forcefully killing the Grandmaster.
“Ha!”
Wei Shuxian, who was closest, gave a cold shout. His entire body surged forward to intercept, although not as fast as Ling Huan, he managed to arrive in time, taking some pressure off the Grandmaster.
By now, Ling Huan had clearly understood the structure of the Earth Fiend Formation, attempting to break through from one person. However, Wei Shuxian and the many Grandmasters present were all too aware of this and naturally wouldn’t allow Ling Huan to succeed. Currently, they were barely parrying Ling Huan’s aggressive attacks; if any of them were to be severely injured or killed, the situation would likely collapse immediately!
“Some skill.”
Ling Huan, seeing Wei Shuxian and the others defending against his offense by relying on the formation and cooperating with each other, spoke with an indifferent tone. The language he used was not that of the Spirit Clan but the language of the Outer Sea, which everyone present could understand.
Despite receiving Praised by Ling Huan, none of those present showed any happiness. All had solemn expressions, and almost in the next moment, Ling Huan launched another fierce attack, this time targeting Yan Zhengyang, who had been injured first!
“Sever!”
Yan Zhengyang’s eyes flickered. With a shout of “sever,” he transformed Yuan Gang into the Power of the Earth. Then, he controlled the Earth to condense into a sword blade and slashed horizontally. Clearly, he had wielded the Earth Fiend Formation Flag more than once, with skills and proficiency far surpassing the others.
Despite his injuries, he still managed to fend off Ling Huan’s attack.
Ling Huan glanced at Yan Zhengyang and disappeared from the spot. When he attacked again, he went after Yan Hong, who was several yards away. With a sweep of a palm, the overwhelming Power of Heaven and Earth surged forward, condensing into an ancient-looking, blue palm imprint that nearly suffocated everyone with its oppressiveness.
At that moment, Yan Hong’s gaze hardened. She waved the main flag of the Earth Fiend Formation, and instantly, a light of the Earth’s power rose up and collided with the palm imprint in the Void. After a thunderous explosion, her body shook slightly, but she managed to shatter the palm imprint and block Ling Huan’s attack.
“…”

Ling Huan watched this scene, his eyes slightly narrowed.
His seemingly chaotic attacks were actually probes, testing the potency and techniques of the Earth Fiend Formation assembled by Yan Hong and others. In just a few moves, he had nearly fully figured it out.
This formation… couldn’t stop him!
“Good.”
A trace of coldness flashed in Ling Huan’s eyes.
If he could bury Yan Hong and her group here, then his previous inaction—watching coldly from the sidelines as more than a dozen large settlements underground were destroyed, and tens of thousands of Spirit People died—would all have been worth it!
Boom!!
Ling Huan struck again.
His previous moves, although merciless, were more about probing. But now his attacks were even sharper, as if catching the flaws of the Earth Fiend Formation, bypassing the strongest like Yan Zhengyang and Wei Shuxian, relentlessly striking at the slightly less powerful, like Hou Cheng and Liu Qingyan!
Although connected by the Earth Fiend Formation Flags, making everyone part of the formation and able to command the same Power of the Earth, each person’s mastery over that power was not the same!
