I Am Supreme-Chapter 1069 - The Nine Peaks Formation

A malicious look flashed in the eyes of the six other disciples when they heard Han Kongqun’s whisper.

There were different types of formations, each having its own clever functions, and could be roughly categorized into illusive formations, trapping formations, and killing formations. The main function of an illusive formation was to confuse the target’s five senses; its lethality was relatively weak, and it was usually used to stop the enemy from advancing. The lethality of a trapping formation was greater than an illusive formation, but its main function was to trap the enemy, and it was withdrawn once the enemy was defeated most of the time. It was also the type of formation commonly used by Han Kongqun and his fellow disciples.

The third type—killing formations—pushed the art of formation to its extreme, and their only function was to slaughter.

Even though the battle of the Celestial Luck Banner had the magical power to resurrect the dead, when anyone suddenly experienced death, the blow to his mind and heart was by no means easy to overcome. Many people’s hearts would be flawed because of such a blow, which would make their path of cultivation ahead bumpier.

The side effect was especially obvious in the younger disciples. No matter how gifted, the mind and heart of young people were inevitably much weaker than those of adults, and many of them would die halfway through their cultivation.

Therefore, if it were not necessary, the disciples of Thousand Mountains Sect, who was famous for their formations, rarely used a killing formation to avoid a failure to stop and bring themselves a great enemy for no reason.

So, when Han Kongqun told his fellow disciples to deploy a killing formation, it meant that he wanted to completely destroy the future of the younger disciples from Residence of Nine Supremes.

At that moment, Yun Xiuxin shouted from across him, “Nine Peaks Formation!”

The moment the nine disciples of Residence of Nine Supremes landed, they quickly split up and each stood in a different direction. Their formation was clearly very different from the standard ones. Sun Mingxiu was in the center while the other eight formed a circle around him, with Yun Xiuxin facing the opponent’s Seven Stars Formation. There was a disciple between Bai Yexing and Yun Xiuxin, and another one between Hu Xiaofan and Bai Yexing.

If one just looked at the three disciples, they formed a triangle shape.

Unlike Han Kongqun, who whispered to his fellow disciples, Yun Xiuxin shouted her command in a voice that was loud and full of killing intent, “Killing formation!”

“We are invincible! Kill all enemies!”

“Understood!”

Her eight junior brothers and sisters thundered in unison. Opposite to them, the faces of the seven top disciples darkened.

‘While we have to make the battle plan in secret, they shouted out their intention for all to hear! How arrogant!’

Fuming, Han Kongqun pointed his sword forward and said, “Kill us all? How ignorant! We’ll see who will be wiped out later!”

Almost at the same time, Yun Xiuxin pointed her fair little hand out as if she was too impatient to wait and roared, “Attack!”

The next moment, two formations crashed into one another. It was also at this moment that Sun Mingxiu, who took the center position, suddenly cried out, “The sword of the same breath and branches!”

Before his voice had died away, he extended his hands to either side. Meanwhile, Bai Yexing and Hu Xiaofan each grabbed one of his hands and placed the empty hand on the shoulder of the fellow disciple next to them while Cheng Jiajia rested one hand on Yun Xiuxin’s shoulder.

Yun Xiuxin roared, yet her body did not move as she struck out her sword.

Han Kongqun had fought many battles of formations, so he knew they were using a technique to gather everyone’s strength. He snorted in disdain and then said in a deep voice, “The scattering stars!”

The Seven Stars Formation split up. At a glance, it seemed the seven disciples were running in disorder, but in fact, they had avoided the sharp tip of Residence of Nine Supremes’s formation and trapped the nine disciples within their formation. It was merely a cover-up technique for them to reform the formation.

‘How are you going to deal with the attacks from the seven of us when your so-called Nine Peaks Formation only has one sharp tip?’

Inside the Nine Peaks Formation, a faint hint of a smile appeared in Sun Mingxiu’s eyes. “Sweeping across the world!”

At his command, eight disciples pulled back their hands that were joined with their fellow disciples. However, they were not truly pulling back their hands. Instead, as soon as the hands were pulled back, they struck out once again.

All of them struck out their palms, and the force that came with them was overwhelming.

The force was too powerful to defend against, and it should not be something that a group of junior disciples could casually unleash. How was that possible?

The people of the various sects around were people with rich experience and keen eyes. They saw what happened in an instant, but could not figure out how that had happened.

Even if a formation was so magical that it could greatly increase the fighting strength of those within it, there was always a limit to everyone’s true strength. So, why were the attacks of the eight disciples so powerful?

They were several times stronger than their actual strength!

The spectators did not know that the key to this sudden change lay in Sun Mingxiu, who was surrounded by eight other disciples. At this moment, he looked perfectly normal and was standing firmly, but a careful glance at him would reveal that there was steam rising from the top of his head, and his face was pale and bloodless.

It turned out that at that moment just now, he had ‘lent’ his entire mystical Qi to others! That was what allowed the eight other disciples to unleash a volley of attacks that far exceeded their limits!

The attack of the eight disciples shocked the entire audience, but it also turned Sun Mingxiu into an empty shell. However, his efforts were enough for them to reel in the victory.

At this moment, each of the eight disciples around Sun Mingxiu attacked with a strength beyond their limits and the fifty percent strength added by the formation.

Yun Xiuxin took the lead and confronted Han Kongqun, their swords clashing fiercely. Han Kongqun was about to roar to show his existence and strengthen his morale when he felt that the attack from his opponent poured over like an avalanche, pushing his roar right back into his stomach.

Knowing that the situation had turned to the worse for him, he mustered all his mystical Qi to defend. As the disciple who took the leading position, if he failed to defend against the opponent and took a step back, the Seven Stars Formation would collapse and what awaited him would be a total defeat!

Although his response was correct, defending with all his might without being careless, he was now facing a formidable power that was more than he could cope with. So, even though he tried his best to resist and even pushed back, blood still spattered out of his seven orifices.

But, he was still in the best condition compared to the other members of the Seven Stars Formation. The others were also facing the same level of power, but their fighting strength was obviously not as good as his. He could still fight back while the others could not.

As a result, painful grunts could be heard ringing out from all around him.

With just this attack alone, the Seven Stars Formation, which Thousand Mountains Sect had the full confidence in and was claimed to be invincible, was severely damaged!
