Chapter 319 The Boom!

The earth groaned, the air moaned.

Not a thousand troops, but only fourteen figures, yet they carried a terrifying power capable of changing the landscape, like fourteen falling stars, crashing down fiercely towards the core of the battlefield!

The two leading figures were Jin Dafu and Huang Chengshi.

Jin Dafu's figure resembled a moving mountain. His originally obese body now displayed the terrifying power of a martial artist's physique. He didn't deliberately run; instead, each step he took was like the trampling of a giant elephant, sinking deep into the ground. Accompanied by a dull, drum-like thud, the solid rock beneath his feet shattered and collapsed like a spiderweb the moment he landed, then turned to dust!
His massive body ruthlessly slammed through the air in front of him, creating a visible milky-white shockwave that spread outwards in layers. Wherever it passed, low hills were flattened, and trees as thick as bowls were uprooted and torn apart like fragile straw, thrown into the churning torrent of dust behind them. In his wake, he left a straight, utterly devastating trench, as if ravaged by a giant plow.

The other eighth-realm experts from the Jin family who followed closely behind, though not as astonishing as their own patriarch, still possessed an equally earth-shattering power as they ran at full speed.

Like ten drawn swords, their footsteps echoed like rolling thunder. The vibrations of the ten people in unison converged into a terrifying resonant force, causing the ground to undulate violently like water, spreading forward in waves.

Each time the group landed, it caused small-scale ground fissures, with spiderweb-like cracks spreading wildly beneath their feet.

The dust they kicked up was no longer just simple smoke; it was enveloped and compressed by the powerful aura emanating from their bodies, forming a towering, lead-like, earthen-yellow wall of energy that rolled forward with a roar! Wherever it passed, the ground was scraped down several feet, and stubborn rocks were crushed into powder.

The last two to hold the fort were two Ninth Realm experts from the Netherworld, namely Huang Chengshi and his friend. Their demeanor was even more detached, but they still exuded a suffocating sense of heaviness.

They weren't running on the ground, but sitting on the Ghost King's back.

The ghost kings were flying, hovering about a foot off the ground, speeding through the air. But in reality, every time a ghost king's toes touched the ground, the corresponding ground below would silently collapse, creating a huge, smooth-edged circular pit. The rocks at the bottom of the pit were pressed down by the extreme force until they were as smooth and reflective as glass.

The space around them seemed to be slightly distorted, and the light was strangely deflected at their sides. What they stirred up as they moved was not a gale, but a heavy "aura" like mercury. The air was as viscous as swamp, and any dust or gravel that came near them was crushed and stopped by this invisible "aura" several feet away from their bodies, and then silently turned into finer particles and drifted away.

Their very existence was like four moving, compressed mountains of power, heavily pressing down on the entire space, preventing the earth and rock turmoil stirred up by the ten eighth-realm experts behind them from crossing the invisible boundary around them.

Fourteen figures, carrying devastating physical power, tore through the earth and shattered the air, descending with an unstoppable force! Wherever they passed, they left behind shattered mountains and rivers, frozen air, and a deathly silent vacuum—a terrifying aura left by pure, overwhelming power that temporarily deprived even sound.

The space at the edge of the battlefield seemed to have been forcibly ripped open by their charging trajectory, creating a rift leading to destruction!
This was by no means a simple journey, nor was it a pointless display of power. Jin Dafu and Huang Chengshi, along with the twelve top experts behind them, were deliberately building up their strength with every step they took, their furious actions of stomping the earth and tearing through the air!

Their trajectory was not chaotic. Fourteen figures, with Jin Dafu's mountain-like body as the absolute core, surrounded the other thirteen like stars around the moon, their positions subtly shifting, their auras tightly intertwined, subtly forming a profound yet violent charging battle formation. Each time Jin Dafu's massive foot stomped down, shattering rocks and stirring up waves of earth, the immense energy emanating from his body did not truly dissipate. Instead, it was skillfully guided, compressed, and bound by the powerful strength of his companions closely following behind—especially the four ninth-realm experts!
This is a formation, a formation suitable for martial artists.
Through this accumulation, with Jin Dafu at the core, they will gather all the momentum for their advance, and in this way, they will crash directly into the border like a meteorite.

According to the original plan, this would directly break through the border defenses, so as to avoid getting caught in a bloody battle with the border formations and start fighting directly from the beginning!

The vacuum passage cleaved open by Huang Chengshi has now become a high-speed channel for energy flow. The earth and stone walls erected by the ten eighth-realm experts are no longer simply destructive, but rather energy carriers that are being solidified and bound by the power of the formation. The heavy, mercury-like "momentum" of the four ninth-realm experts, which solidifies space, has become the most resilient container barrier, firmly binding and compressing all the violent and dissipating power in front of them!
The target is directly aimed at that majestic border post.

If a super formation can withstand a ninth-level opponent, does the Jin family not have a way to break it?

joke--

But Jin Dafu was enveloped in a viscous, liquid-gold-like, rapidly spinning compressed aura, his body seemingly expanding several times its original size, forming a destructive golden sun over ten zhang in diameter, trailing a long trail of lava! The air was completely ignited and ionized, emitting blinding white light and deafening explosions. Space in front of him twisted and caved violently, as if unable to withstand this superhuman physical force, about to be forcibly torn open!

Target—the very center of the border city wall!
Time seemed to freeze at that moment. The terrified faces of the city guards could be seen, and the protective array, which had just lit up and was shimmering with runes, rapidly magnified and became clearer in their field of vision.

These garrison troops were all Yang Ling's men. They were ordered by Yang Ling to guard this place, and they thought that with their strong formation, even if a large army came to attack, there would be no problem. But what they saw before them now filled them with horror!

"Stop them! Activate the great formation!" The general's roar trembled with despair. The city's protective formation hastily lit up, runes flowing, attempting to construct an indestructible barrier.

next moment!
Boom!
Just as this power reached its peak and was about to be completely unleashed—

A sudden change occurred!

Without any warning of energy fluctuations, without the brilliance of accumulated magical power, and not even a trace of killing intent was leaked beforehand, more than a dozen figures suddenly burst forth from the deepest part of the earth, from the solidified air itself, and from the spatial rift torn open by the power of Jin Dafu, Huang Chengshi, and the others!

They are Hu people from the Qilin tribe!
Their arrival was so sudden and illogical, like ghosts appearing out of nowhere.

However, they were by no means illusions. Their pure, savage, and extremely concentrated physical power, carrying the stench of wild beasts, tore apart the almost solidified "momentum" created by the fourteen experts!
"Roar--!"

There were no pre-battle shouts, only a collective roar that exploded from the depths of their chests, like rolling thunder! This roar itself was like an invisible heavy hammer, slamming hard into the viscous air, causing the space, which had been pressed down as heavy as mercury by the ninth-realm experts, to tremble violently!
The timing was impeccable, striking at the very moment before the fourteen men unleashed their full power, when they were at their peak and most vulnerable to changing tactics and retracting their strength. It was like swimming upstream at the height of a flood, gambling on that fleeting moment of hesitation in the power transition!

Instead of bypassing them, they crashed directly into the tangible 'aura' created by the four ninth-realm experts who were hovering in the air! The solidified space that would crush ordinary experts if they got close was, in their eyes, just a slightly viscous pool of water.

As for the method, it is naturally the purest form of the physical body!
Without internal energy to protect him, he was not a martial artist, nor did he have any magical aids. All he had were muscles as tough as cast iron, hot blood surging beneath his bronze skin, and the primal strength and resilience etched into his bones, honed through countless battles with sharp blades!
Crash! The foremost few burly Hu men, bare-chested, their qilin tattoos contorted like living creatures beneath their bulging muscles, roared as they charged at Jin Dafu's formation like mad rhinoceroses, using their shoulders as hammers and their backs as shields!

The moment they made contact, a teeth-grinding, muffled cracking sound erupted in the air, as if steel had been forcibly bent by a tremendous force! The skin of the giant Hu man was instantly dented and cracked by the invisible force, blood splattering everywhere, but Jin Dafu's charging momentum only faltered slightly!
He plowed deep trenches with his feet, using his flesh and blood to smash open twisted, visible ripples and cracks in that almost solidified area!

A dozen or so figures of Qilin Tribe experts, like blood-red javelins shot from nothingness, were precise, resolute, and carried the tragic fate of mutual destruction. They pierced the "point" where Jin Dafu and the other fourteen people were at their peak and most vulnerable—the momentary stagnation before the transition between old and new powers and the full release of the array's power!
Their target was none other than the four ninth-realm powerhouses suspended in mid-air, their heavy "force field" binding and guiding the destructive energy! These Qilin warriors completely ignored the invisible barrier capable of crushing steel. Without internal energy protection, without the circulation of qi, only pure, extreme physical power roared within their blood! Their muscles bulged like enraged dragons, their bronze skin instantly covered in fine beads of blood from the unimaginable pressure, their bones creaking under the strain. Yet, their speed did not falter in the slightest!

puff! puff! puff! puff!
A series of dull, heavy sounds, like the pounding of a drum, rang out! It wasn't the clang of metal against metal, but the explosive roar of flesh and blood smashing through solidified barriers!
Several Qilin Tribe experts who were at the forefront of the charge experienced their skin and muscles visibly crack and collapse the moment they came into contact with the heavy "force field," as if they had crashed into an invisible wall of steel! Blood gushed out like squeezed berries, instantly staining the distorted air red.

However, their sacrifice was not in vain!
This pure, savage collision, imbued with the last vestiges of life, forcefully shook the "power field" painstakingly maintained by the four ninth-realm experts! The space, which had been solidified as if it were a physical entity, was rippled and cracked by these fearless "humanoid beasts"! The invisible container that held the destructive energy began to fluctuate violently!

"You're courting death!" A ninth-realm expert, who was holding the fort, was both shocked and furious, a hint of disbelief flashing in his eyes. He subconsciously mobilized his power, trying to suppress these intruders and stabilize the situation.

It's now!

The subsequent Qilin Tribe experts showed no grief for their fallen comrades, only a beastly resolve and meticulously calculated calm. Using the gaps created by the flesh and blood of their vanguard, they slipped in like slippery sharks! Their target was no longer the ninth-realm expert himself, but the solidified, earthen-yellow energy wall erected by the ten eighth-realm experts behind them, serving as an energy carrier!
"Roar——!"

With a roar, the bodies of these Qilin warriors suddenly swelled up, their veins bulging like earthworms, as if they were about to burst! They didn't use any techniques, just the most primitive and savage thing—hugging and ramming!

Like several human-shaped bombs, they used themselves as hammers to smash into the solid, lead-like, yellowish-brown air wall!
boom! boom! boom! boom!
Blood and flesh flew everywhere! The terrifying power of blood and qi, mixed with the extremely compressed essence of life, exploded the moment it came into contact with the qi wall! This was not an explosion of internal force, but a savage release of the source of life! The scorching blood mist, carrying the stench of savagery, instantly stained the entire earthen-yellow qi wall red, and the violent impact was like countless heavy hammers slamming into the qi wall from the inside!
This energy barrier, which embodied the power of ten eighth-realm experts and served as a crucial energy carrier for the "meteorite," was violently distorted and fluctuated under the sudden, brutal impact from within, and could no longer maintain its stability! The energy flow that constituted the formation was instantly interrupted and disrupted!
A chain reaction erupted instantly!
Ahead, Jin Dafu was taking that final step, a step that combined the combined power of fourteen people and was enough to shatter the void! The liquid golden aura around him had been compressed to its limit, and was about to transform into a destructive golden sun that burst forth from the sky!

However, the violent upheaval of the foundation of the array behind was as if the most crucial cornerstone had been violently removed! The "momentum field" that the four ninth-realm experts had tried their best to stabilize was cracked by the impact of the Qilin tribe, and the energy wall of the energy carrier behind was on the verge of collapse due to the impact of the self-destruction. The entire martial arts array that was transforming the momentum of the rush into the destructive impact was abruptly stopped at the critical point of the power explosion!
Jin Dafu felt a surge of blood rush to his throat! The destructive energy about to leave his body, like a flood bursting its banks, had nowhere to go and instantly backfired wildly within him! His massive body trembled violently, and the liquid golden aura on his skin abruptly froze, flickering and dimming violently, even collapsing slightly inward! The perfect build-up, the "meteorite" impact that could pierce through everything, was forcibly interrupted at this moment, its power drastically reduced!

We can't break through the great formation!
