"Attack together!" Zhang Hangkui suddenly shouted.
Of course, he was using a secret sound transmission technique, masked by the Array Plate, so neither Jack nor Ava heard him.
Almost simultaneously, the mouths of all the Golden Core Realm Experts flew open. A multitude of Flying Swords, brimming with overwhelming killing intent, shot forth and converged on Ava alone.
Meanwhile, Zhang Hangkui furiously swung his sword toward Jack's neck, intent on chopping off his head.
If they had been outside the Formation, Jack and Ava could have dodged easily. They could even have used their Telekinesis to block the Flying Swords. But inside the Formation, it was a different story.
"It's an ambush! Retreat, quickly!" Jack yelled.
He tried to be the first to pull back, but to his fury, the space around him suddenly solidified, as if he were encased in steel. Caught off guard, he was bound in place, unable to retreat even an inch. His body merely trembled.
He immediately summoned his immense strength to break free from the binding, but it was too late to escape, for Zhang Hangkui's sword was already slashing down upon him. He had no choice but to strike Zhang Hangkui's sword with all his might.
CRACK!
A terrifying sound rang out as Jack's sabre shattered. It was no match for Zhang Hangkui's Flying Sword. This was because Zhang Hangkui's Flying Sword was a rare Middle-Grade Magical Treasure, and it was supremely sharp.
The sword then continued its lightning-fast trajectory toward Jack's neck.
Jack was petrified. The Formation affected him, solidifying the very space around him and slowing his movements far below their usual speed. It was too late to flee or dodge. He had never dreamed that there would be people inside the Formation, let alone a supreme expert at the Nascent Soul Realm.
This was the end for him.
Just as his head was about to be lopped off, Sandra, who was providing support from outside, stepped in. She struck Zhang Hangkui's sword fiercely with her Plank Axe.
CLANG!
With an earth-shattering impact, sparks flew. Because she struck at the perfect angle, hitting the flat of the blade instead of the edge, Zhang Hangkui's sword was successfully blocked. Jack seized the chance to retreat out of the Formation.
Sandra had only taken a single step inside; her other foot was still outside. Thus, the rebound force immediately propelled her back out.
Ava, however, was not so lucky.
Over a hundred Flying Swords shot toward her. Hindered by the Formation, she couldn't retreat, nor was she fast enough to block them all. She only managed to parry a dozen or so before the rest pierced her body. Although she possessed a formidable Defensive Ability capable of withstanding Low-Grade Flying Swords, she couldn't possibly fend off so many at once. Her defense collapsed.
She was riddled with holes like a beehive.
"Ahhh!" Ava let out a bloodcurdling scream as blood jetted from the countless wounds that perforated her body, spilling onto the ground and staining it red. The thick scent of blood filled the air.
THUD!
She fell to the ground, face up, and drew her last breath, her body now devoid of life.
Hahaha... I killed one! Not bad, not bad at all! Zhang Bin shouted excitedly in his heart, his face radiating ecstatic joy. He knew full well how powerful and monstrous Ava was, with her penchant for devouring men's private parts. Killing such a demon was an absolutely great deed. Otherwise, who knew how many more men would be devoured by her in the future.
"Ava!"
Jack and Sandra roared in grief and rage. They were mad with fury, yet they didn't dare to rush in. There were too many experts inside; if they entered, they couldn't guarantee they would make it out alive.
Expand! Zhang Hangkui's face turned icy. How could he be satisfied with killing just one SSS-Class Genetically Enhanced Human? He suddenly roared the command in his mind.
His thought had barely formed when the area covered by the Formation more than doubled in size, completely enveloping both Jack and Sandra.
"Kill!"
All the Golden Core Realm Experts roared, once again unleashing their Flying Swords. The majority attacked Sandra, while a smaller portion targeted Jack. Zhang Hangkui, however, once again swung his sword with all his might, aiming for Jack's waist to obliterate him completely.
"Aaaah!"
Jack and Sandra let out earth-shattering cries almost simultaneously. A light more brilliant than gold erupted from their bodies, and an overwhelming pressure and aura burst forth, actually shattering the Formation's bindings. After all, having already experienced the Formation's terror, they were now prepared. At the same time, they retreated like bolts of lightning.
However, the combat experience of the numerous Golden Core Realm Experts was vast. Their Flying Swords had already cut off all escape routes. Many even curved around to attack them from behind.
Sandra could only furiously wield her Cleaving Knife, transforming it into a dazzling sphere of light to fend off the assault. Jack once more retrieved a huge Cleaving Knife from his Space Ring, swinging it madly to block the Flying Swords coming at him from all directions.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
The rapid-fire sound of Magical Treasures bombarding each other filled the air. Numerous Flying Swords were knocked aside, but this also slowed Jack and Sandra's escape. The remaining Flying Swords shot rapidly toward Sandra, carrying a terrifying killing intent.
Meanwhile, Zhang Hangkui's sword caught up with Jack in the blink of an eye, still aimed at his waist.
Helpless, Jack had no choice but to viciously bring his sabre down on the sword. This time, his angle was good, so his weapon didn't break. However, he was struck by a tremendous recoil that sent the sabre flying from his grasp. As blood sprayed from his mouth, he used the momentum to hurl himself backward, finally escaping the Formation's bounds.
"Die!"
Zhang Bin seized the opportunity. His mouth flew open, and his Blood Fang shot out like lightning, slashing viciously toward Jack's neck.
Jack's expression changed dramatically. He instinctively raised his left arm to block the blade's edge.
CRACK!
A gruesome sound erupted as Jack's arm was instantly severed, sending blood gushing into the air.
"Ah! Another Middle-Grade Flying Sword?!" Jack roared in fury. He used the force of the blow to propel his escape, vanishing in a flash. He fled for his life, completely abandoning Sandra.
Sandra was now trapped in a desperate situation. She was struck by more than a dozen Flying Swords.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
Sounds like a hammer striking an anvil rang out. The golden light enveloping her body dimmed as her Defensive Power rapidly diminished. Then, two Flying Swords cleanly severed both her legs. Another pierced straight through her abdomen.
"Aaaah!" she let out a piercing scream, teetering on the brink of collapse.
"Capture her alive!" Zhao Dawei shouted excitedly. Capturing an SSS-Class Genetically Enhanced Human would be an immense boon to China's genetic technology research.
SWOOSH!
Master Tianlong flew over, striking Sandra's back with a heavy palm. She collapsed to the ground like a straw doll. Master Tianlong quickly subdued her with a Secret Technique, binding her with a special rope. Zhang Hangkui even placed a special Talisman on her back.
"Be alert! Zhou Tianyu is about to retreat to our position. Prepare to provide support!" Zhang Bin's voice, perfectly impersonating Chen Junheng, suddenly rang out in their earpieces.
