Chapter 607: All the Way North

From the fifth day onward, the casualty rate in the great formation suddenly dropped sharply.

By the tenth day, the number of fallen martial artists was only a few hundred.

In other words, the vast majority had already adapted to such combat.

However, for most people, they could only pass the initial stages; handling three against five should not be too much of a problem.

But for a few elites, like Chu Shi's trio, their progress was very noticeable.

By the tenth day, Chu Shi's heat-dissipation group could already handle nineteen phantom martial artists without losing.

This rate of progress also surprised Ye Yuan quite a bit.

On the tenth day, Ye Yuan finally withdrew the great formation. Those martial artists, one by one, looked as if a great burden had been lifted, feeling as if they had seen the light of day again.

These ten days had been more agonizing than ten years.

Most of them were rogue cultivators; when had they ever endured such perverse training?

In ten days, nearly ten thousand martial artists had been lost.

However, after emerging from the Asura Three-Pronged Formation, the temperament of these martial artists had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Ye Yuan looked at everyone with blazing eyes and said coldly, "I know many of you think I am very cruel, but when we break out, you will know how merciful I am. I don't want to say more. The breakout operation will officially begin at midnight today. By then, you will feel how worthwhile this training was. Now, rest where you are and recover your primal power."

...

"Kill!"

A deafening roar of battle cries suddenly rang out as tens of thousands of martial artists surged out from the north gate of Redlight City.

However, the Wildwind Realm army was not as chaotic as imagined; they actually carried out their defense in an orderly manner!

"Damn it, we've fallen into an encirclement by the Wildwind Realm army!"

"Ah! They were prepared for this. We're done for!"

"Fuck, isn't this like delivering sheep into the tiger's mouth? That kid tricked us all!"

Under Ye Yuan's orders, the martial artists in Redlight City all thought they could catch the Wildwind Realm army off guard.

But who would have thought that the Wildwind Realm army seemed to have been prepared long ago, quickly surrounding these tens of thousands of people.

This situation was far beyond the expectations of these martial artists. They felt they had been set up by that kid Ye Yuan, and one by one they began to curse.

Soon, the two armies clashed at close quarters, and the Wildwind Realm martial artists quickly seized the initiative.

Their combat strength was very high, and with the advantage in numbers, the Boundless Realm martial artists soon felt despair.

Inside the central army tent, Deng Sheng laughed loudly, "Lord Shangguan's calculations are brilliant. You knew they would break out within these two days! Now these turtles in Redlight City can't escape our blades!"

Shangguan Lingyun smiled and said, "With Ye Yuan's intelligence, he would never sit idly in the city waiting for death. Lord Yunrong will arrive here at the latest within these two days. If they don't break out now, they'll have no chance."

"Hehe, with our strength, once these people leave the city, they are like fish on a chopping board, at our mercy. That kid Ye Yuan thinks he's clever, but in the end, isn't he still Lord Shangguan's defeated opponent?" Deng Sheng said smugly.

"Heh, don't celebrate too early. Ye Yuan is very strong; among the army, probably only I can handle him. Leave the other martial artists to you. Once Ye Yuan makes a move, I will intercept him. As soon as Lord Yunrong arrives, he will surely die!" Shangguan Lingyun said.

Shangguan Lingyun had no intention of fighting Ye Yuan head-on; what he wanted to do was stall for time, waiting for Shangguan Yunrong to arrive.

...

Although these Boundless Realm martial artists had undergone high-intensity training in the formation, when they actually faced the Wildwind Realm martial artists, their hearts still pounded with fear.

After all, humans were different from phantom martial artists; humans had their own thoughts and emotions, completely unlike during training.

Soon, the Wildwind Realm army took absolute initiative, cutting the Boundless Realm martial artists into scattered pieces.

"Haha, you fools, you walked right into the trap!"

"With strength like yours, you're only fit to be turtles!"

"Die in peace. Blame that kid named Ye Yuan for pushing you into the fire pit!"

The Wildwind Realm martial artists held absolute dominance; their strength was formidable.

In the chaos, the Boundless Realm martial artists quickly collapsed.

However, the training in the great formation was somewhat effective after all.

After ten days of high-intensity training, these people had developed a bond of camaraderie with each other.

No matter how fierce the Wildwind Realm martial artists' attacks were, the three-person groups remained intact.

Even elites like Chu Shi's trio were flustered at first.

But after the initial panic, Chu Shi finally came to his senses.

"Old Zhu, Old Qian, are you dreaming? Have you forgotten how we trained in the great formation?" Chu Shi roared.

"Old Chu, shut the fuck up! Do I need you to teach me how to fight?" Zhu Changzhi said.

"Too much nonsense! Kill!" Qian Si said succinctly.

Chu Shi's trio had performed the best in the great formation training; their strength as a trio was already terrifying.

When they got serious, they soon discovered that the Wildwind Realm martial artists around them had become vulnerable!

After ten days of training, the three of them no longer needed words to communicate.

Even in the dark, they could sense each other's intentions through their aura.

"Kill!"

With a fierce shout, Chu Shi cut down two Soul Sea mid-stage experts beside him.

Suddenly, Chu Shi's trio found that those originally powerful Wildwind Realm martial artists had become fragile.

Chu Shi's trio took the lead, charging through like cutting melons and vegetables.

And their actions resonated with the other groups.

Thus, like a spark, Chu Shi's trio instantly ignited the entire battlefield!

On the Boundless side, every three-person group suddenly saw their combat power soar.

"Hahaha... I thought you bastards were so tough, but you're actually this pathetic!" Chu Shi laughed wildly.

Zhu Changzhi cut down a Soul Sea realm martial artist and said with satisfaction, "Fuck, I've been stifled for so long, finally I can kill to my heart's content! You whelps have killed so many of our comrades; today I will avenge them!"

Qian Si remained silent, but his hands were not slow, directly cutting down two Soul Sea realm martial artists.

"Brothers, kill! Young Master Ye said, all the way north, don't look back. Let's kill our way through!" Chu Si infused his primal power, his voice spreading across the entire battlefield.

The encirclement, originally layered thickly, was forcibly torn open a huge gap.
