Cui Yongshang's attack did not surprise the six, but they never expected his target to be Zuo Dao. A dignified Golden Core True Person actually launched a sneak attack on a Qi Refinement Stage Cultivator! If others found out, it would be utterly humiliating.
However, Cui Yongshang could no longer care about that. The three Golden Core experts below the peak were already showing signs of defeat, and they were up against a few Foundation Establishment Period novices, which he found hard to believe. At the same time, he began to reassess the strength of Zuo Wang Peak. He had long known that the disciples under Zuo Wang Peak were talented, but he never realized they had reached the level of monsters. One was understandable, but six was simply unacceptable.
They must die; there was absolutely no room for mercy. Moreover, he was already at odds with Zuo Wang Peak. He could not allow these individuals to grow stronger; they would undoubtedly become a great threat.
With all his strength unleashed in this attack, he was confident that no Qi Practitioner could withstand it. The power of this strike was enough to shatter mountains, and more importantly, it was silent. By the time Zuo Dao and the others noticed, the attack was already upon them. There was no way to evade it; Zuo Dao took the hit head-on and was sent flying.
Great Chaos Golden Hand – a Fifth-Stage Spell that could only be cultivated by those at the Golden Core Stage, primarily focused on offense with golden attributes. When used, magical energy coalesced into a giant hand to strike the opponent. The might of this spell at full mastery could pierce through a mountain.
Although Cui Yongshang's Great Chaos Golden Hand was only at completion stage, it was still beyond what ordinary people could endure. Zuo Dao was sent flying hundreds of meters away; even with his current physique, he struggled to withstand it. He felt a surge of golden magical energy coursing through his body, as if his meridians and flesh were being sliced by sharp blades. He couldn't help but feel relieved that he had been the target. If any of the other five had taken that hit instead, they would have been severely injured or even killed.
Yan Zhen and the others saw Zuo Dao being attacked and quickly rushed to his side after forcing back their opponent. Killing enemies could wait, but ensuring their comrade's safety always came first. Although Drunken Old Man had instructed them not to worry about Zuo Dao during battle, their instincts led them to gather around him.
With a loud crash, the ground was left with a massive crater from Zuo Dao's impact. Cui Yongshang felt confident in his strike; he had once obliterated a mountain with a single blow. A Fifth-Stage Spell wasn't something just anyone could master. Not only Qi Practitioners but even Golden Core True Persons would suffer greatly if they took a full-force hit from him without adequate defensive treasures.
Before the dust settled, a figure shot out from within, moving so fast that it left a trail of smoke behind. Upon closer inspection, it was none other than Zuo Dao.
Zuo Dao emerged with his robe tattered, revealing a set of golden armor underneath—simple yet majestic without any extravagant decorations. Through the torn fabric of his robe, one could faintly see a fierce dragon head emblazoned on the golden armor.
Cui Yongshang's heart tightened as he seemed to realize something important. Ignoring whether Zuo Dao was injured or not, he turned his gaze toward Yan Zhen and the others. His eyes flickered with light as if he were preparing some spell.
At this moment, the five had reached Zuo Dao's side and formed an unusual formation behind him.
"Six Harmonies Azure Dragon Formation." Cui Yongshang finally understood what Zuo Dao's golden armor represented.
He cast a fierce glance toward the direction of Gathering of Immortals Hall and finally comprehended why the six from Zuo Wang Peak had come to attack his Ling Peak while Law Enforcement Hall and other peaks remained inactive.
He sneered several times.
"Although I don't know what benefits you offered Jiang Chuan to make him withdraw and even give you some valuable treasures from Immortal Sect, it ultimately won't change your fate of death."
Now that the mask had been torn off, Cui Yongshang saw no need to show Jiang Chuan any respect and called him by name directly.
"The Six Harmonies Azure Dragon Formation is a remarkable thing, but it depends on who wields it. If you are all at the Golden Core stage, I wouldn't hesitate; I'd just turn and run. Unfortunately, your strength is insufficient to unleash the power of this treasure, so let me eliminate you and accept this grand gift."
The Six Harmonies Azure Dragon Formation is both a treasure and a formation device, consisting of six pieces: the Dragon Head, four Dragon Claws, and the Dragon Tail. When combined with the appropriate positioning and incantations, it can form the Six Harmonies Azure Dragon Formation, capable of overwhelming opponents beyond their level—truly a devastating weapon. A formation composed of Golden Core True Persons can easily annihilate figures at the Nascent Soul Ancestor level.
However, the requirements for using the Six Harmonies Azure Dragon Formation are extremely high. Since the establishment of the Immortal Sect, it has only been used once. The cost was three of the top talents within the Immortal Sect, who were consumed by the backlash of the formation, turning to ashes. It was also that time that they completely wiped out their invading enemies, establishing the authority of the Immortal Sect.
Cui Yongshang, as a Peak Master, could not possibly be unaware of this; he simply never expected to see such a thing in front of these six individuals.
Kill.
Cui Yongshang channeled his energy and struck first. His flying sword unsheathed with a flash of silver light, slicing through the air toward Zuo Dao and his five companions, demonstrating the might of a Pinnacle of Golden Elixir.
Zuo Dao shouted loudly.
"Dragon Head rise."
A faint dragon shadow appeared above the six, tilting its head back to roar and blocking all sword light. Then its massive mouth opened wide, spewing forth a burst of light aimed at Cui Yongshang. Before the attack could reach him, another command was issued.
"Dragon Claw manifest."
"Dragon Tail emerge."
The dragon shadow deepened in color, transforming from illusion to reality into a Golden Dragon nearly a hundred feet long. Its enormous eyes stared expressionlessly at its enemy.
The Six Harmonies Azure Dragon Formation was complete.
A vast dragon might surged forth like an overwhelming tide, causing Cui Yongshang to feel a halt in his internal potential; this dragon might was not to be trifled with. But dragons can also be slain.
Though the six lacked the strength to unleash the full power of the Six Harmonies Azure Dragon Formation, they still posed a threat to Cui Yongshang. He swung his sword, unleashing countless golden blades toward the giant dragon.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The air filled with the sound of metal clashing. The six had surrounded Cui Yongshang, with Zuo Dao as the formation's pivot; he had to deal not only with their immediate enemy but also remain wary of several Golden Core True Persons from Ling Peak approaching from ahead.
The battle had to be swift and decisive; the power consumed by the Six Harmonies Azure Dragon was immense. If the opponent wasn't dealt with quickly, it would only be a matter of time before their own magic energy ran dry, leading to their demise.
Without hesitation, he forced out a mouthful of essence blood and sprayed it around, forming a Blood Mist.
"Senior Brother, Dragon Claw attack!"
The Golden Dragon soared, its four claws raised high as it charged through the Blood Mist, its entire body shining even brighter.
Cui Yongshang was not to be outdone; he surged forward like a fierce deity, sword in his right hand and the Great Chaos Golden Hand in his left, launching a fierce assault against the giant dragon. The Dragon Claw collided with the sword light and palm shadow. A shockwave erupted from the point of impact, spreading chaos across the battlefield, gouging the ground to over a foot deep.
"Great Dragon!" With residual force still lingering, Zuo Dao delivered another heavy blow, sending the golden dragon roaring toward the opponent. Cui Yongshang swiftly set up layers of defensive walls in front of him and shifted his sword technique.
"Taibai Star Sword, slash!"
A brilliant beam of sword light appeared out of thin air, tearing through the surrounding air. At the same time, a massive magical hand reached out fiercely toward the Golden Dragon.
The defensive walls were shattered in an instant, and Cui Yongshang's attack struck home on the Golden Dragon. The Taibai Star Sword directly hit the giant horn of the dragon, while the massive hand grasped its body tightly, attempting to crush the dragon alive.
Aside from Zuo Dao, Yan Zhen and the other five were all spitting blood under this devastating strike.
