"How can this be? The Sect Master of the Soul Infant Sect has actually mastered that demonic art?"
While most people felt a sense of relief, there were also many who burned with anger and worry in equal measure.
These people were naturally the ones who had previously stood behind Ying Mingchao, even betraying their own forces to follow him and continue their war against the Soul Infant Sect.
They were the ones who firmly believed that the Soul Infant Sect was nothing more than a demonic cult, and they naturally hoped Ying Mingchao could defeat its Sect Master.
"Everyone, would you be willing to lend Senior Ying your strength in battle?"
At that moment, Chu Feng turned around and posed the question to those people.
"Of course!" the crowd answered in unison.
"Then let us all help Senior Ying together!!!"
After speaking, Chu Feng spread his arms wide, and a magnificent barrier formation surged forth from within his body.
Right behind him, Zi Xunyi likewise opened her arms, and a second majestic barrier formation materialized.
The moment the two formations overlapped, they quickly merged into one. Most importantly, as Chu Feng and Zi Xunyi channeled their power, the formation swiftly enveloped all those who had chosen to follow Ying Mingchao.
"Benefactor Chu Feng, this formation... could it be that all we need to do is relax ourselves?"
At that moment, Master Koudai couldn't help but ask, his voice brimming with astonishment.
As a Spirit World Master, he could sense the wonder of this formation. They didn't need to do anything at all — simply relaxing would allow their power to flow into it.
But he still wanted to confirm whether that alone would truly help Ying Mingchao.
"Everyone, there's no need to do anything. Just focus on helping Senior Ying."
As Chu Feng spoke, he formed seals with one hand while extending the other toward Zi Xunyi.
Zi Xunyi did the same — forming seals with one hand while reaching her free hand toward Chu Feng's outstretched palm.
The moment their palms joined, a tremendous power surged between them. Then Chu Feng and Zi Xunyi simultaneously pointed their fingertips toward Ying Mingchao.
A brilliant golden beam of light shot forth from between them, streaking through the void like a golden dragon traversing the sky, before ultimately merging into Ying Mingchao's body.
Once the beam entered him, Ying Mingchao's figure not only radiated a jade-green aura but also blazed with golden radiance.
Most importantly, in that instant, Ying Mingchao's aura surged dramatically stronger once more.
Empowered by this boost, Ying Mingchao immediately broke free from the stalemate and seized the upper hand.
"Deploy the formation!!!"
But just then, the members of the Soul Infant Sect activated a formation of their own.
However, compared to Chu Feng's, their formation was far simpler.
One could even say what they had deployed was not a single great formation, but tens of thousands of them.
Every member of the Soul Infant Sect was a formation unto themselves. Black aura erupted from their bodies and surged straight into the sky, merging into the Sect Master's sky-shrouding darkness.
Without a doubt, the dark aura radiating from each member of the Soul Infant Sect carried the wailing of infants — a grand formation woven from the power of the demonic art they cultivated.
As the combined strength of the Soul Infant Sect merged into his aura, the Sect Master's power soared dramatically, threatening to overwhelm Ying Mingchao's own.
SPLASH— Without warning, a spray of blood burst from Ying Mingchao's left shoulder. The Soul Infant Sect Master's Ancestral Weapon had pierced clean through.
SPLASH SPLASH SPLASH—
