The nine secret-line disciples took up positions around Ian Song in nine directions. Though it looked scattered, their arrangement subtly formed the pattern of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams. Their auras, while separate, quietly linked together into a single field.
At the center of the formation, Ian and Lyra Hale felt an enormous pressure bearing down on them.
In the real world, there are also joint attack techniques.
But compared to the formation these nine had assembled, those so-called joint attacks were nothing worth mentioning.
It seems this world has its own unique strengths.
Suddenly, the nine disciples began to move and shift according to a set pattern. As they circled, Ian and Lyra in the center realized the air around them had grown thick and sticky.
The nine sped up, moving faster and faster. The air grew more viscous, and a fierce sword aura pressed directly toward the two in the center.
"Pfft!"
Unable to withstand the sword aura’s pressure, Lyra’s face turned deathly pale and she spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Seeing this, Ian’s expression darkened. He had wanted to observe the secrets of the sword formation, but had overlooked Lyra’s cultivation—she simply couldn’t endure it.
There was no choice but to break their formation first, and interrogate them about its mysteries later.
Gravity Domain!!!
"Buzz buzz buzz."
A yellowish ring of light instantly expanded to cover a twenty-meter radius. The nine, still circling and building up sword momentum, suddenly felt a crushing force pressing in from all directions.
Caught off guard, all nine were hit at once.
They had practiced this formation countless times and knew it inside out. If one or two had slipped up, the rest could compensate, but now all nine had faltered—so the formation instantly collapsed. The sword momentum they’d built up violently rebounded onto them.
"Pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft!"
In an instant, all nine coughed blood and were flung backward, crashing to the ground—severely injured.
"Wh-what just happened?"
In front of the bronze mirror artifact, Sea God King Gerald Jiang and Dominic Donghuang could no longer keep calm—their faces showed utter shock and disbelief.
