RETURN OF THE RULER
108. Legend of the fire dome formation
"I invite you here just to remind you that you must not take over this kingdom and not to fight because after all you are no match for me. Blame your young master for acting arbitrarily in the territory of people," Yang Xuan said after killing the elder who suddenly attacked him.
Yang Xuan also did not expect the Li family to be on par with a large sect even more, because after all there must still be people living in their clan. The one before him alone was already nearly seventy elders. He did not know whether it was all from the Li family or not.
"Badjunk.... You think that as good as you are to want to kill people without guilt, now give your life for daring to harass the Li family. Remember.you have no right to govern the Li family" Snapped the head of the Li family but there was fear in his heart because after all the elders who had just died were already earth level ahir.
He had already tried to measure Yang Xuan's strength but he couldn't detect it so fear started to approach him.He thought Yang Xuan wasn't a small boy but an old monster who managed to manipulate his face.
"I've given you one last chance, so don't blame my family or my descendants if today I take your lives. I've given you a soft slap but you'd rather slap hard"
"We are not afraid of who is behind you, lives are paid for, that's the law" replied one of the elders.
The head of the Li family sent a telepathic voice to his group lest it be too rash, He was afraid that there was still a Yang Xuan group hiding within Hunan city.
The atmosphere grew even hotter when Yang Xuan killed one of them, originally the citizens of Hunan City thought Yang Xuan had gone mad, but after killing the earth level cultivator the city youth who previously said Yang Xuan had gone mad was immediately stunned.
Unlike the Hunan City Lord, he who saw hundreds of people from the Li family making him deathly pale and frightened, he hid among the people who had come to witness the debate from within the city protection array. Not only he would but everyone was curious as to how Yang Xuan would resolve the matter.
The City Lord thought hard if Yang Xuan could not face the fury of the Li family, it was certain that the Hunan city would become a ruin. But after he saw the young man's calmness, he was sure that Yang Xuan wasn't the crazy young man his son spoke of.
"Oh.. one more thing, do not involve the city of Hunan with this matter, for I have just arrived in this region from the northwest. This City Lord would not dare to harass that esteemed Li family, either, I only stopped here for a while to rest but I didn't expect your Young Master to dare harass me so much that he died horribly of his own stupidity" Yang Xuan said calmly and there was no fear visible on his face.
"Is it true like that? Aren't you bragging? All this time our Young Master did not have any bad behavior like what you said and also, do not arbitrarily slander others" an elder with a long beard opened his voice for the first time.
"Curriedly..... It should be you who know better what your Young Master is doing than anyone else, to me he is nothing more than a bug nuisance"
"Infragile" shouted the head of the Li family. He was furious that Yang Xuan kept calling his son an insect.
"Alright, since you guys have already forced me will not hesitate anymore..prepare" Yang Xuan said as he made a hand seal. Suddenly a fire dome formation appeared and locked them all away. Hot air slowly emanated from the walls of the fire dome formation and from the walls of the formation also appeared vortexes of fire.
The faces of everyone within the fire dome formation instantly turned ugly, their entire lives had never seen such a formation.
"Chairman. Is this a killing formation? Why is the fire ten times hotter than ordinary fire?" asked one of the elite disciples after struggling to channel Qi energy throughout his body continuously.
He asked not without a new reason for about a few minutes in the formation he felt his body was ripe due to the roast of the fire whirls. If it continued then he would run out of Qi energy.
"I don't know, but this won't be beneficial for all of us. Now we are in big trouble" the elder replied with a face of annoyance as his concentration was split. He had to divide his Qi energy to protect his body and partly to anticipate the attack.
Meanwhile within the city protection array an elder widened his eyes and ascertained whether he had seen wrongly or not.
"Chairman... Did I not see wrong?" asked one of the elders from hunan city while rubbing his eyes repeatedly.
"No elder, it was a fire dome formation from the primordial era, but it was not perfect as only two types of flames had just come out of the formation wall. Our ancestors once told me if it was perfect then from each wall the fire dome formation would come out ten different fire types and there were several colors"
"Right is what you said elder, but from where the young man learned it, wasn't the formation said to have disappeared thousands of years ago"
"We also have no idea where the young man came from, which is clear legend says whoever the owner of this formation is he will definitely be at the peak of cultivation, he said, we can only remind our descendants not to offend them"
"We'll see, is the legend true or not?"
"Right is what the elder said"
The two of them looked back into the fight seriously, as if they did not want to miss a second. Maybe in the whole city of Hunan only the two of them knew about the story.
The fire dome formation was the second formation after the sun ring formation. If Yang Xuan had already entered the ten fire pagodas then the fire dome formation would have unleashed ten types of flames. In the primordial times alone, the fire dome formation was one of the most feared formations of the ancestors of the solar clan. Because from the formation wall will appear ten fire whirls that will attack anyone inside and each fire vortex will issue one type of weapon.
"Thank you, since the Li family voluntarily became my training ground. This formation isn't perfect because I've just mastered it, you still have plenty of time to save yourself if you can find where the weakness is" yang Xuan said while guarding the formation pillar and laying down some spiritual stones to strengthen the formation. If only the heaven and earth origin energy would not be able to withstand the attacks from the Li family.
"Elder, shouldn't we just give up" said one of the elite disciples with a pale face.
"What did you say? you trash" shouted one of the elders while throwing his spear at the elite disciple.
"What are you guys doing? we must attack at the same point, no matter how strong this formation will definitely be destroyed as well" the Li family head said as he gritted his teeth. He saw one by one the elite disciples and low-level elders falling down just like that.
The faces of everyone within the fire dome formation grew more and more paled, they continued to attack the formation wall while minimizing the continuous hot aura emanating from the fire dome formation wall. As a result, their Qi was quickly depleted.
"I have just mastered this formation there are still many flaws, you who have the fire element should be able to find where the weaknesses of this formation are. Anyone who can get out of here then he will get a chance to live" Yang Xuan said laughing loudly and continuing to learn where the fire dome formation was heading while resisting the attacks from the Li family.
Hearing Yang Xuan's words, they continuously tried to attack the walls of the fire dome formation continuously with different types of attacks but all their efforts seemed futile. Though out of the eighty people in the formation there were around twenty people who had the fire element. Only so far they have not been able to find where the formation is.
"I'll end this game and get ready to meet the gatekeeper of hell. You should have a defensive formation instead, let alone the average of you having the same elements" Yang Xuan said while controlling the fire vortex that was on the formation wall.
From the walls of the fire dome formation came out thousands of fire arrows and fire blades then directly attacked like a storm. In a few times the attacks were still many who survived, only the longer they were cooped up their strength would decrease even more.
"Arrgh.... Where did this badjerkan learn this goddamn formation from...? use the defensive formation and create a water shield "cried the Li family head while setting up a defensive formation to withstand the attacks of firestorm arrows and fire storm blades"
One by one they began to fall because the fire arrow storm attacks and the fire knife storm grew fiercer, and never stopped.
Yang Xuan saw their faces blushing from exhausting Qi energy, they were so tormented that the attacks from outside the water shield were already like a tornado wind. the iron-like clang rang out loud as the fire arrow storm and the fire knife storm collided with the water shield, even so the Li family still tried to survive.
Yang Xuan gnashed his teeth when he saw the water shield was already as hard as steel, so he increased his attacks to threefold then he closed his eyes while hearing death screams every second.
In just a short period of time the Li family's land formation became a mess as their numbers were dwindling. After Yang Xuan stepped up his attack the head of the Li family along with his group fell down and died horribly. Instantly the place became silent, Yang Xuan opened his eyes while taking Baihu out of the continent sealing ring to clear the place.
"To achieve the goal then there must be a victim, right what uncle Dou Sheng said" muttered Yang Xuan while eliminating the formation.
After the battle was over Yang Xuan Directly spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood from his mouth, his face also paled as it was too self-imposing to control the Flame Dome Formation on its own. The effect of the attacks from the Li family that continuously forced to destroy the fire dome wall left him injured.
"Dam... My strength has not been able to control that damned formation yet" Yang Xuan muttered with a bitter smile then disappeared into the continent's sealing ring.
*****
"Arrghs... " A burst of death aura accompanied by a loud shout filled the central region of the Li clan along with the appearance of a blackish purple light misses from the clan forbidden grounds towards the clan hall.
"Li Zhun Hua's.... Stop.. "the sound of a hawk-like screech rang out with a blood-red light coming out of a building towards the Clan Hall.
"Are you getting old getting stupid...?" a woman snapped as she arrived in front of Li Zhun Hua.
He was furious when he saw hundreds of clan members lying everywhere and severely injured. A divine level death aura swept across the entire Li clan leaving the entire occupants tormented.
"Ah... I'm sorry my wife, I can't control my emotions" Li Zhun Hua replied laughing as if she felt innocent of her actions.
Li Zhun Hua could only laugh at the anger of his wife, he unintentionally let out his aura when he saw that many of his bloodline badges were cracked and shattered.
"Yan Shan gather all the remaining elders" Li Zhun Hua ordered as he stared intently.
"Good ancestor" Yan Shan replied in fear when he saw that his ancestor's eyes had already turned blood red.
After waiting for a while all that was left had arrived at the clan hall. They stared at ancestor Li Zhun with a paled face as those blood-red eyes let out light.
Li Zhun circulated his gaze throughout the hall with a fiery fury even as his head let out a white smoke as he said", Only you are left of the seventy high-level elder seats available"
"Right ancestor, there are still three more people to investigate this matter, and we have not been informed as to who has been offended by the young master" Yan Shan replied firmly.
"Basic useless, cursed offspring. Just waiting for a little more time, What was your job all this time until a hundred elders were killed? I wonder if they have brains or not? I've often reminded that we're in the east and not in the south"
Li Zhun was furious now, he had already cultivated for decades to break through to the heavenly level because he had the ambition to rule over the entire eastern region just like in his homeland.
"Close all missions, attract all clan members who carry out missions, tighten guard. There is no need to investigate who killed them and trash like they deserve it. Do you think this is the south? this eastern region holds so much power and mystery, next time don't offend others at will even if it's a brat" Li Zhun ordered and disappeared from there.
The remaining elders could only hold their breath looking at the anger of ancestor Li Zhun, he said, they had expected that, but the hundred elders were no different from trash to Li Zhun's ancestor angering them.
Li Zhun arrived at his wife's residence after coming out of the clan hall and went straight to see his wife" My wife, take care of this clan with your life" Li Zhun said suddenly.
"Are you going to investigate this matter" asked his wife.
"My wife... Are we just going to let this matter go? if I ever meet my sister and my sister. What answer should I give them if they ask me? the two of them had left their descendants to me before they died" Li Zhun explained.
"Alright, I'm letting you go but be careful because I don't want to lose you for now, I've been sad enough today to lose hundreds of clan members" he said, reminding Li Zhun to be ever vigilant.
Li Zhun disappeared from the Li clan like the wind without the other clan members knowing, he did not want to harm his descendants anymore. He had already considered it carefully, if he had come out in make sure other ancestors would also pop up. The water kingdom would definitely be turbulent and cause great shock to all its inhabitants.
