Slaying demons and eliminating evil, a martial saint among mortals.

Qin Lie is now standing next to Pei Jinghan and Shen Shuyan, holding a knife.

He now has to ensure that these two people are not disturbed in any way.

Shen Shuyan, who was standing to the side, reached into his robes and took out a large seal.

The large seal was only the size of a palm, and it didn't look new; there were many dents and scratches on its edges and corners.

But as soon as this seal was taken out, Qin Lie felt that the city wall beneath his feet had shrunk considerably.

He even thought it was his imagination.

Shen Shuyan tossed the large seal into the air, where it hovered above Duanfeng Pass.

Pei Jinghan looked at the large seal, his voice somewhat hoarse.

"You actually brought the Zhenguan Seal back?"

Shen Shuyan gave him a disgruntled look.

"When did you start talking so much nonsense? How can you activate the Wind-Severing Formation without the Town-Suppressing Seal?"

Pei Jinghan twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Shen Shuyan ignored Pei Jinghan, formed a hand seal, and streaks of bluish-white light flew from his fingertips, striking the Zhenguan Seal in mid-air.

hum!

The seal of the town suddenly trembled.

The next moment, the entire Broken Wind Pass began to shake.

Qin Lie kept adjusting his posture to avoid falling.

"What's that noise?"

Shen Shuyan explained as he performed the hand seals.

"The entire Broken Wind Pass is made of special materials; it is actually the external manifestation of the Broken Wind Array."

"Once the Wind-Breaking Formation is activated, the spiritual energy in the city wall materials will be extracted, so some shaking is normal."

Qin Lie couldn't help but admire the genius who built the Broken Wind Pass, or rather, created the Broken Wind Formation.

This step was conceived from the very beginning of the construction of this great formation.

After the seal of the town was suspended in mid-air, the broken swords, tattered spears, and fragments of armor on the city wall began to slowly fly up from the ground.

In the end, even the corpses of the dead soldiers of the Broken Wind Camp were lifted up by an invisible force.

Qin Lie originally thought that the soldiers were still holding their weapons when they died in battle, which is why they flew into the air.

Later, he saw the unarmed corpses also fly up, and realized he was wrong.

Qin Lie felt a chill run down his spine.

"Isn't this a human formation? Why are they even using the corpses of their own people?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Lie regretted it.

Now that we've reached the point of no return, why should I still worry about these things?

Pei Jinghan had nothing else to do, so he turned his attention to Qin Lie.

"Qin Lie, what do you consider to be a human race's formation?"

Qin Lie was taken aback by the question.

Pei Jinghan continued speaking.

"Do you think that human formations should be clean, aboveboard, and ideally, a golden light should fall and kill all the demons?"

Qin Lie didn't speak, because that was indeed what he had just thought.

"Then you're mistaken. Nothing on the battlefield is that clean."

"They signed a blood pact from the moment they joined the Broken Wind Camp."

"Although they died in battle, what they left behind, including their weapons and the last breath they had left behind, belong to Duanfeng Pass."

After listening, Qin Lie felt a mix of emotions.

"Do you think I sacrificed them to complete the formation?"

"Actually, I'm just fulfilling their last wish, letting them continue to guard the pass."

Qin Lie listened without hesitation and nodded.

"I see!"

No matter what the process is like, as long as the final result is good, that's fine.

Wugu Luo, who was outside the city, also saw this scene, and his face immediately turned ashen.

"Shen Shuyan, you actually dared to activate the Wind-Severing Formation! You're going to make Pei Jinghan suffer eternal damnation!"

Wugu Luo raised his hand to manipulate the blood array.

"Charge! Charge forward! Kill Shen Shuyan, kill Pei Jinghan, and destroy that seal!"

The blood-corpse demon puppets below the city wall immediately pressed towards Shen Shuyan and Pei Jinghan.

The ground trembled whenever each blood-corpse demon puppet moved.

The soldiers of the Broken Wind Camp could not stand by and watch these blood-corpse demon puppets approach their general!

Although they were no match for the Blood Corpse Puppet in a one-on-one fight, they did not retreat.

Several soldiers formed a small formation. They couldn't kill the Blood Corpse Demon Puppet, but they could cause it considerable trouble and delay its arrival at the city wall.

Even if it's just for a moment, that's enough.

Qin Lie previously thought the Blood Corpse Demon Puppet was very strong, but now it seems that it is only around the second rank.

For ordinary soldiers, it was indeed ridiculously strong, but with the support of the formation, it was still no problem to hold them off with our lives.

Shen Shuyan didn't look in that direction, not because he was cold-blooded, but because it was pointless to look there now; he couldn't let these people's sacrifices go to waste.

In mid-air, the flesh, armor, and broken blades beneath the Zhenguan Seal had completely merged together.

Under the seal of the town, it was continuously compressed and slowly turned into the shape of a nail.

Qin Lie looked up and counted; there were eight in total.

Each nail is about the length of an arm, completely black, and wreathed in dark red blood patterns.

Shen Shuyan raised his hand, and eight nails slowly fell, hovering in front of him.

At this moment, his face was frighteningly pale, but his hand movements were very steady.

Pei Jinghan looked at the eight black nails and said in a low voice, "Let's begin."

"It will hurt a lot if a nail is driven into your body!"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"You...you deserve to be in so much pain!"

Although Shen Shuyan said that, Qin Lie could still tell that his eyes were already red.

He and Pei Jinghan have been friends for so many years. Now, having to personally drive all these nails into Pei Jinghan's body is probably more painful than him enduring those eight nails himself.

But Shen Shuyan had no choice, and neither did Pei Jinghan; they had no choice but to take this gamble.

Shen Shuyan raised his hand and pointed, sending the first black nail flying out.

The nail drove directly into Pei Jinghan's left shoulder, and Pei Jinghan's body jolted violently.

The demonic energy that was surging on his left arm seemed to be pressed down by a large hand, and instantly receded.

However, the price was also obvious: Pei Jinghan's entire left arm was hanging down, looking as if he couldn't exert any strength at all.

Shen Shuyan's movements did not stop, and the second black nail flew directly into Pei Jinghan's right shoulder.

Now he can't move either of his arms.

Pei Jinghan looked down at his hands and twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Alright, now you're really a useless person!"

Shen Shuyan had a cold face.

"Shut up. You're still in the mood for jokes? Looks like I didn't hit you hard enough."

"You want to nail it harder, but do you have the strength?"

Qin Lie felt even more suffocated as he listened to their conversation.

Why pretend to be relaxed when it's clearly a painful thing?

Shen Shuyan then raised his hand, and the third and fourth black nails flew up at the same time.

puff!

puff!

Two black nails were driven into Pei Jinghan's legs.

This time, Pei Jinghan couldn't hold back and knelt down, his knees slamming heavily onto the floor.

The floor that was in contact with the knees cracked directly.

Shen Shuyan's voice continued.

"The fifth nail locks the Qi Sea."

The fifth black nail flew up and pierced directly into Pei Jinghan's abdomen.

Pei Jinghan suddenly tilted his head back, and a black and red demonic aura spewed out from his mouth and nose, only to be forcefully suppressed back by the black nail.

Qin Lie, using his Qi Observation Technique, could see most clearly that the most chaotic part of Pei Jinghan's body was his Qi Sea.

If the Qi Sea is sealed, it's equivalent to destroying the most important source of power for a martial artist.

Pei Jinghan gritted his teeth, squeezing out the words through his clenched teeth.

"continue."

Shen Shuyan's eyes darkened.

"The sixth nail, locks the heart."

The sixth black nail remained suspended in mid-air, not falling immediately.
