Open up and break into another world

Ding!

Two sharp swords simultaneously struck the same point on the great formation, like two steel needles piercing the inner wall of a balloon.

The membrane of the great formation was directly dented by the strikes.

"Break!"

However, after the great formation's membrane caved in by a foot, it rebounded back to its original shape.

The great formation didn't break!

"What!?" Qin Ran was shocked.

This confinement formation was much more resilient than she had anticipated; even with her near-Perfected Innate Realm strength, she couldn't break it open immediately.

"This is troublesome!"

With this type of confinement formation, if you can't break a gap with a single strike, then to get out, you can only slowly attack and exhaust the formation's energy.

"Hahahaha…" Long Batian laughed arrogantly, "The formation master who sold me the formation plate didn't deceive me; without Perfected Innate Realm strength, you can't break open a gap in this confinement formation!"

Gu Hanmo and Qin Ran both wore unsightly expressions.

At this moment, the five Late Innate Realm warriors had all arrived, and the two women no longer had the chance to properly accumulate power to attack the membrane of the great formation.

"Crap, Qin Ran can't break the great formation!" Xu Ming had thought that since he had managed to hold back the BOSS, Qin Ran should be able to bring Gu Hanmo and escape; but he didn't expect this confinement formation to be so sturdy.

"Boy, stop looking around; your opponent is me!" Long Batian's broadsword whistled as it aimed straight at Xu Ming, "I was careless and got tricked by you just now, but you won't be so lucky next time!"

The broadsword-wielding Long Batian was somewhat famous in the areas of the Hidden Kill Sect and the Savage Wilderness Sect.

Xu Ming, entangled by Long Batian, couldn't help Gu Hanmo break the formation either.

"It's a pity that the sneak attack just now alerted Long Batian at the last moment.

Otherwise, if the sneak attack had succeeded in instantly killing Long Batian, the situation would be much easier now!"

The reason Xu Ming didn't immediately take the opportunity to break the formation was because he considered that if they broke the formation and escaped, he and Gu Hanmo would definitely be able to escape, but Qin Ran would have a hard time.

Xu Ming knew about the relationship between Gu Hanmo and Qin Ran, and he also respected Qin Ran's character; if possible, Xu Ming would of course do everything in his power to bring Qin Ran away safely.

Therefore, Xu Ming's first choice at the time was—to sneak attack Long Batian!

As long as he instantly killed Long Batian, wouldn't Xu Ming be able to crush the entire field with his overwhelming strength?

Unfortunately, the sneak attack failed.

Since it failed…

"Long Batian, I'll have a good fight with you!" With his cheat activated and in full condition, what did Xu Ming have to fear from directly confronting a Perfected Innate Realm expert!

Boom!

Boom!

Long Batian's saber techniques were broad and open, each strike filled with unwavering resolve.

Xu Ming's spear techniques, on the other hand, were more balanced between offense and defense, seamless and flawless.

After a few exchanges, although Long Batian had been suppressing Xu Ming, he became increasingly alarmed as he fought: "How old is this kid? How did he cultivate to this level?"

Long Batian discovered that while Xu Ming was weaker than him in terms of strength, Xu Ming completely overwhelmed his own realm and saber techniques in terms of comprehension and spear techniques.

"Strength can be improved with the help of treasures!

However, comprehension and spear techniques must be slowly understood on one's own—this kid, at such a young age, already possesses such comprehension and spear techniques…"

Long Batian's jealousy grew even stronger: "He must not be allowed to live; he must be killed!"

Thinking this, the broadsword in Long Batian's hand became even more savage and domineering.

He wanted to use his strength to suppress Xu Ming until he killed him.

Gu Hanmo and Qin Ran, although in an even more critical situation, also glanced out of the corner of their eyes and saw that Xu Ming was colliding head-on with Long Batian, and was not at a disadvantage.

Although it looked like Long Batian was suppressing Xu Ming, Xu Ming's defense was watertight, showing no signs of defeat.

Another wound appeared on Qin Ran's body.

"Xiao Ran…" Gu Hanmo felt extremely distressed, but was helpless—with her strength, she could only barely cope with one Late Innate Realm expert.

That is to say, Qin Ran had already been bearing the burden of four Late Innate Realm experts beyond her capacity!

And…

Gu Hanmo realized that Qin Ran already had several wounds on her body, while she herself was still unscathed.

"Xiao Ran has blocked too much for me…"

Whenever there was danger, Qin Ran would always protect Gu Hanmo behind her back at all costs.

"Hmm?" Although Gu Hanmo felt extremely distressed, she remained clear-headed and calm, "I haven't been injured, and it doesn't seem to be entirely because of Xiao Ran…"

Gu Hanmo discovered that these five Late Innate Realm experts had many opportunities to bypass Qin Ran and injure her; however, they had all given up these opportunities for nothing.

"They seem… to not want to hurt me?" Gu Hanmo suddenly realized.

As for why they didn't want to hurt her, needless to say, it must be the idea of Ao Tian, the Young Sect Master of the Hidden Kill Sect!

"If it weren't for Xu Ming's strength erupting today, I'm afraid I would have been captured alive without any power to resist!"

Although the situation was still difficult now, at least she could still resist a little, right?

Gu Hanmo silently paid attention to Xu Ming again.

With this look, she was even more shocked—she saw that Xu Ming was not only not at a disadvantage, but was also becoming braver and braver as he fought!

Although Long Batian's saber techniques were domineering and unmatched, he couldn't find any flaws in Xu Ming's flawless spear techniques.

On the contrary, Xu Ming fought steadily, and while defending, he often looked for opportunities to counterattack.

Each counterattack might not have an immediate effect, but with ten or twenty counterattacks accumulating, Xu Ming gradually gained an advantage.

Long Batian found it increasingly difficult to fight, and he also found it increasingly unbelievable!

If they continued to fight like this, wouldn't he be defeated after a while?

"I… can't actually beat a young brat?" Long Batian deeply felt the humiliation.

This was Xu Ming's humiliation to him, and it also seemed to be Heaven humiliating his talent!

Damn it!

Long Batian suddenly shouted: "You guys over there, speed up a bit and finish them off quickly!"

The five Late Innate Realm experts who were besieging Gu Hanmo and Qin Ran were stunned—speed up, why speed up?

We are suppressing them all the time now, fighting steadily, and victory must belong to us!

Speeding up, what if we reveal a flaw?

The five Late Innate Realm experts didn't understand what Long Batian was anxious about for a while; anyway, victory was in their grasp, so seeking stability was good, right?

Why seek speed?

However, when these five Late Innate Realm experts looked at the situation on Long Batian's side, they instantly understood what Long Batian was anxious about.

"Damn, am I seeing things? Brother Long is being suppressed by that kid!?!"

"Brother Long, a dignified Perfected Innate Realm expert, is being suppressed by a Semi-Innate Realm…?"

"Are my eyes playing tricks on me?"

…

The five Late Innate Realm experts were all in disarray—I say, Brother Long, can you be a little more reliable; you are a Perfected Innate Realm expert, and you can't even handle a Semi-Innate Realm…

They also understood why Brother Long wanted them to speed up and finish them off quickly—finish them off quickly so they could go over and help Brother Long!

"Uh…"

Dealing with a Semi-Innate Realm, one Perfected Innate Realm expert is not enough, and we still need to go over and help…

"Could it be that Brother Long is old? He's not working anymore?" the five Late Innate Realm experts all thought, "But that's not right; not long ago, Brother Long just fought 'Saber Maniac' Wang Yisheng for three hundred rounds, and he still won in the end…"

Then the five people thought again: "Could it be that Saber Maniac Wang Yisheng is also not working anymore like Brother Long?"

However, at this time, the five people didn't have time to think about it further.

Receiving Long Batian's "call for help," they shouted, "Brother Long, hold on! Hold on for a while, and we'll come to help you!"
