Chapter 677: Chapter 677
"Brother Zhang, rest assured, once this trapping array is set up, not to say tens of thousands of people, even if the entire White Tiger Sect pours out, I am confident that I can trap them all!" the White-clothed Young Master said seriously.
"Good! You’re in charge of setting up the array, and leave everything else to me," Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Hmm," the White-clothed Young Master nodded.
With a slap on his waist, he took out some flags used for setting up the array.
With a lift of his hands, he planted all the flags around him, followed by a flip of his palm, holding an array plate the size of a palm.
He struck a hand seal and roared, "Inverted Five Elements Great Array, arise!"
As his voice fell, streams of white mist rapidly rose from all around.
In an instant, the entire valley was engulfed.
"Brother Zhang, take this!" said the White-clothed Young Master.
He casually handed over a red, triangular small flag to Zhang Xiaohao.
"What’s this?" Zhang Xiaohao asked, puzzled.
"This is a command flag. With it on your person, you can ignore the effects of the surrounding arrays," the White-clothed Young Master explained.
"Hmm," Zhang Xiaohao nodded in understanding.
Rustle, rustle, rustle...
Just then, the ground began to tremble violently, as if a magnitude twelve earthquake was occurring, and a terrifying noise emanated from all directions.
The newcomers all stopped outside the white mist.
"They’re here, Brother Zhang. I must prepare now; the rest is up to you!" said the White-clothed Young Master.
"Good! With me here, you can rest easy. If anyone wants to harm you, they’ll have to get past me first!" Zhang Xiaohao said earnestly.
The White-clothed Young Master nodded.
Holding the array plate, he walked to the center of the Inverted Five Elements Formation and stopped.
He sat down cross-legged on the ground, his True Qi bursting forth, and his hand seal dropped quickly into the array plate in his hand.
Turning his gaze away, Zhang Xiaohao put the command flag in his pocket and looked indifferently at the disciples from the thirty-three major branches outside the white mist.
"Gentlemen, the remnants of the headquarters must be hiding in the array ahead. Now, what should you all do?" the leader of the Sky Dragon Branch said coldly.
"Hmph! A bunch of cowards! Even with an array to aid them, we’ll still slaughter them! Do they really think a measly array can stop the tens of thousands of us? It’s simply laughable!" the leader of the Sky Snake Branch said with disdain.
"We mustn’t delay! To avoid prolonging this any further, let’s have the thirty-three branches join forces and storm in! Even if those remnants have an array to aid them, they cannot withstand the furious onslaught of our tens of thousands," the leader of the Tianxuan Branch said murderously.
"Tianxuan Branch is right! We have so many here, a full ten thousand strong. The weakest among us are in the Foundation Establishment Realm, and there are over a thousand in the Hundred Veins Realm and Control Realm. As for us leaders, we are superpowers in the Void Transformation Realm! Are we really to be intimidated by a small array? Moreover, these remnants have just killed our brothers from the Heavenly Eye Branch; this blood debt must be repaid with blood!" a middle-aged man said with a chilly tone.
The signal flare earlier was set off by him.
"What does everyone think?" asked the leader of the Sky Dragon Branch.
"I have no objections!"
"I have no objections either!"
"With so many of us here, even a Cycle Palace Realm superpower would have to back down!"
The other branch leaders voiced their agreement.
"Since that’s the case, let’s charge in! Slaughter the remnants of the headquarters! And secure the outer perimeter of the mountain gate!" said the leader of the Sky Dragon Branch.
Thereupon, the leaders of the various branches swept their hands down commandingly.
As their command was issued, the disciples from the thirty-three major branches instantly charged into the Inverted Five Elements Formation laid by the White-clothed Young Master.
"Let’s go! We’re entering too!" the leader of the Sky Dragon Branch said.
As he spoke, a group of thirty-three took a step and dashed into the Inverted Five Elements Formation.
Inside the Formation.
The white mist suddenly swelled, encircling all the disciples from the thirty-three major branches who had rushed in.
It was as if a new small world had been opened.
The white mist obscured their vision, dividing them into countless distinct areas.
Standing in the middle of the Inverted Five Elements Formation, Zhang Xiaohao looked indifferently at this group of fools.
They were like headless flies, buzzing around inside the Inverted Five Elements Formation.
"Dammit! What is this crappy formation? It’s even blocking my vision!" the leader of the Sky Snake Branch cursed loudly.
"Everyone, don’t panic! Listen to my command, and let’s all use our strongest techniques to blast towards the center! I refuse to believe we can’t break through a mere formation with so many of us attacking it together!" said the Sky Dragon Branch leader, his voice teeming with murderous intent.
"Right!" the other branch leaders responded in unison.
Witnessing this scene, a cold light flashed in Zhang Xiaohao’s eyes.
"Thinking of making a move? Did you ask me for permission?" Zhang Xiaohao sneered.
With a tap of his foot, he executed the Twelve Heavenly Steps, dashing towards the Sky Dragon Branch leader like a phantom.
Within the white mist.
The leader of the Sky Dragon Branch suddenly furrowed his brows; as someone in the Void Transformation Realm, his sense of crisis was incredibly sharp.
He felt a fierce gust of wind charging at him and sneered in response.
"Vermin! Have you finally decided to show yourself? Die!" In the time it took to utter these words, the Sky Dragon Branch leader,
Gripping the black spear in his hand, released an overwhelming burst of True Qi, and a dazzling black Jiao Long sprang forth from the spear, savagely blasting towards the direction Zhang Xiaohao was coming from.
"Break for me!" Zhang Xiaohao snorted coldly.
His right fist, brimming with a tyrannical force and sheathed in black light, violently struck the incoming black spear.
The immense power instantly broke the black spear, and the punch’s momentum carried through, smashing into his adversary’s body.

His opponent was blasted into pieces, with blood and flesh raining down upon the ground.
"Ah! You little bastard, daring to kill our master, die!" The surrounding disciples of the Sky Dragon Branch, seeing this spectacle, roared furiously as they brandished their weapons and slashed at Zhang Xiaohao.
"Hmph! Insects daring to act recklessly before me! Die!" Zhang Xiaohao snorted coldly.
He violently pushed his right palm forward.
A brutal wave of palm force erupted from his hand, blasting into the onrushing Sky Dragon Branch disciples.
In just a single encounter, he had blasted the Sky Dragon Branch disciples into a bloody rain, their corpses falling to the ground.
"Quick! The remnant forces from the headquarters are over there, everyone attack! Follow my command and bombard that position with all your might!" the Sky Snake Branch leader growled.
