Chapter 464: A Closer Chance
"Boom boom..."
As the two fat men launched their physical attacks, the formation outside the village began to shake more and more violently.
"Damn it, at this rate, the formation will be shattered by them in less than a quarter of an hour!"
The skinny formation mage winced at this violent method of breaking the formation.
He had spent a lot of precious materials to set up this formation.
If the formation wasn't destroyed, he could still recover these materials later.
But judging from the current situation, these materials were likely to be crushed into pieces.
"Let's use the formation to restrain them instead of confronting them head-on. Our reinforcements will arrive soon, and every minute we can delay is a victory!"
Ding San looked at the precarious situation outside and waved his hand to the others.
"I'll assist you in commanding. Listen to my orders and launch your attacks."
The skinny one, who knew the formation best, took the initiative to take on the command task.
The others had no objections. They all stood in the positions he indicated, gathering their spiritual power and preparing to attack at any moment.
"Ding San, launch an attack on position three, then retreat to position five..."
The skinny one assessed the situation and decisively commanded Ding San.
Ding San drew out a precious knife and suddenly launched an attack in the indicated direction.
Normally, the distance between where he was slashing and the two fat men was more than ten steps, making it impossible to harm them.
But as his knife struck, the next moment, the shadow of the knife appeared above the heads of the two fat men.
"Swish..."
"Ding!"
A dagger suddenly appeared above the heads of the two fat men, effortlessly blocking the massive shadow of the knife.
After Ding San finished his strike, he immediately left his original position and moved to the designated spot.
On the other side, the skinny one held a dagger in his hand, looking thoughtful in mid-air.
"Continue the attack, don't stop. Someone defend against their attacks on me."
"Okay!"
The two fat men agreed and continued to launch attacks on the formation.
At the same time, the small-sized formation mage, Ning Yu, commanded Lu Yu to launch an attack in a certain direction.
Lu Yu used the Heavenly Heart Sword Technique against the air, and then saw countless cold stars outside the formation piercing towards the two fat men.
The skinny one was not to be outdone. With a dagger only slightly larger than a fingernail in his hand, he seemed to have eyes on it. With a few random flicks in mid-air, he blocked all of Lu Yu's attacks.
At the same time, Ning Yu didn't stop either, commanding the other two senior brothers to launch their attacks.
This time, the attacks appeared directly beside the two fat men. The skinny one finally couldn't defend anymore.
"Bang bang..."
Two muffled sounds, these two attacks hit the two fat men solidly.
After everyone finished their attacks and retreated to another position, they looked towards the battlefield with solemn expressions.
Ning Yu's command was indeed exquisite, but even with the enhanced attack power from the formation, their attacks had no effect on the two fat men!
The fat on the two men's bodies acted like a natural cushion, easily deflecting their attacks.
"This is getting troublesome..."
Ning Yu frowned and continued to command the others to launch their attacks.
Fortunately, with the protection of the formation, Lu Yu and the others only needed to focus on attacking and didn't need to defend.
Otherwise, with their strength, they would be crushed into pieces by the opponent in minutes.
Their harassment clearly had some effect.
The formation, which was originally on the verge of collapse, surprisingly showed signs of stabilizing under their harassment.
Lu Yu and the others were happy, but the skinny guy outside had a displeased expression on his face.
"It seems that these guys from the Greedy Wolf Hall are quite tenacious, but they are all ants below the Nascent Soul realm!"
He originally didn't plan to take action, but if they continued to stalemate, who knows when the enemy's reinforcements would arrive.
After three years of bitter cultivation in the trial space, he had clashed with several experts from the Greedy Wolf Hall multiple times.
Although the three of them were in the Nascent Soul realm, they had never gained any advantage against the other side.
"Step aside and let me break this damn formation. Once I break the formation, all of you charge in, leaving no one alive!"
As he spoke, the skinny guy raised the dagger in his hand, which was only slightly larger than a fingernail clipper.
"Ten Thousand Slashes!"
Coldly calling out the name of the move, the people inside saw a burst of golden light shining from the tip of his dagger.
Countless golden sword qi flew towards the formation.
"This is bad! Even if my formation is ten times stronger, it won't be able to withstand such powerful sword qi."
Seeing the opponent using a killer move, Ning Yu's eyes revealed a look of despair.
Of course, his hands did not stop. Instead, he began to absorb the spiritual energy from Lu Yu and the others to replenish the formation, using it to defend against this super powerful move.
Lu Yu felt as if his body had been instantly emptied, giving him a sense of exhaustion.
This forcibly pulled out all the spiritual energy from his body, causing him to instantly become an ordinary person without a trace of spiritual energy.
On the other side, Ding San and the other two senior brothers were not doing well either.
After having their spiritual energy sucked away, Lu Yu quickly took out several high-grade Qi replenishing pills from his storage bag and threw them to them.
"Quickly replenish your spiritual energy, maybe there's still a chance..."
No one spoke, they silently accepted the Qi replenishing pills and quickly replenished their own spiritual energy.
At this moment, even a slight increase in spiritual energy might bring a glimmer of hope for survival.
Seeing the sword qi flying towards the formation, even though they were separated by the formation, Lu Yu could still feel the waves of killing intent coming from above.
"We're done for this time."
Lu Yu gently closed his eyes.
He was somewhat confident in escaping from a Gold Core realm expert, but compared to a Nascent Soul realm expert... he could only be killed, even running away was a luxury.
Just as he closed his eyes and prepared to gather his spiritual energy for a final desperate struggle, the pressure outside suddenly lightened.
"Huh?"
Ning Yu and the others also opened their eyes, only to see a woman with a fairy-like aura appearing outside, seemingly out of nowhere.
She was wearing a white long dress, which fluttered in the sword qi, giving off a truly ethereal feeling.
Her hands gently turned a few times in front of her.
The golden sword qi that had just been pressing down on Lu Yu and the others was easily dissipated by her.
"Another Nascent Soul realm expert?"
Although Lu Yu didn't see the woman's face clearly, he could guess from her movements that she was at least another Nascent Soul realm expert.
"It's Senior Sister Su Wen, our reinforcements have arrived! Hahaha, we finally don't have to die..."
When he saw the reinforcements arriving, Ning Yu, this guy, unexpectedly burst into tears.
Lu Yu couldn't help but sigh. The arrival of the reinforcements was truly a close call!
