Chapter 281 Division, Wheel Formation
Faced with the extreme arrogance and swagger of the fallen, Lin Yuan, who was surrounded and imprisoned by the sky, showed no panic or seriousness on his face. Instead, he gave a sneer of extreme indifference.
He stood tall and straight, his golden dragon aura contained and dormant, not displaying overwhelming power, but possessing a transcendent aura that surpassed all evil. No matter how the demons from all directions pressed and approached, he remained as steady as Mount Tai and did not move an inch.
"It will always be you who die."
Lin Yuan's voice was calm, yet carried a chilling certainty that pierced through the demonic mist; each word resounded, shattering the atmosphere of despair created by the Fallen Ones.
"You dare to spout nonsense, relying on treacherous traps and despicable encirclements to survive? Today, all of you worthless trash will become dry bones under my sword."
With a single, understated sentence, he completely shattered the false confidence of the fallen ones who relied on the formation.
The next second, the eight Fallen Ones were enraged!
A monstrous burst of violent demonic energy erupted from the eight people's bodies, and dark demonic waves surged into the sky, crashing against the dark sky above them, causing the entire confined space to tremble slightly.
The broken bricks and tiles in the streets and alleys were lifted into the air by demonic energy, and then shattered under the crushing force of the malevolent energy. Instantly, a strong bloodthirsty killing intent filled the entire desolate ancient town.
"You fool! You're about to die and you still dare to talk back!"
"Tear them apart! Make those two arrogant bastards pay a terrible price!"
Several hoarse and violent roars rose and fell, and eight black figures tensed up, their demonic energy surging wildly, their fingertips flashing with demonic runes and condensing murderous aura. They could no longer suppress their rage and were ready to pounce and kill the two people in the formation at any moment.
The leading fallen dragon demon was the most enraged; all the scales on its head stood up, gleaming with a cold black light, and the green light in its vertical pupils grew increasingly dark and piercing.
He knew that his side had an absolute advantage in terrain and formation, so there was no need for a direct confrontation. He had already planned a foolproof hunting strategy.
"You're asking for it!"
The Flood Dragon roared, and the jet-black command flag floating in its palm suddenly trembled violently!
Om-! ! !
A strange, heavy demonic sound exploded across the heavens and earth, and the pitch-black sky above, which had imprisoned the entire town, instantly changed.
The originally smooth and thick black curtain shattered and reformed with a roar. Countless streams of dark light crisscrossed like a tide, tearing apart the entire space and instantly dividing the area beneath the sky into two independent and isolated void barriers.
A spatial barrier suddenly formed, a stark black and white void that stood in the distance, forcibly separating Lin Yuan and An Xin, who were standing side by side, and isolating them at both ends.
In an instant, the two were each occupied with their own independent void space, their vision blocked, unable to communicate or provide support, and completely isolated in a situation where they had to fight their own battles.
Within the barrier, the demonic energy was empty and the space was dark. There were no streets or ruins, only an endless black void, completely cutting off any possibility of coordination, breakout, or reinforcements.
The moment the battle was divided, the leader of the Flood Dragon Demons immediately issued a deep order, precisely allocating his forces:
"Splitter the two and kill them one by one! You two go and subdue the woman with the gun; finish her off quickly! The rest of you, follow me and surround and kill this brat!"
As soon as the words fell, two agile and extremely fast humanoid fallen beings stepped forward. Their demonic energy was condensed and light, and they were good at surprise attacks and close combat. They turned around and stepped into the void barrier where An Xin was imprisoned, instantly sealing off the entire space, preparing to encircle and kill An Xin who was sniping from a distance.
The remaining five Fallen Ones surrounded the leader of the Flood Dragon Demons, tightly encircling the void space where Lin Yuan was located, setting up layers of defenses and locking down the entire area, giving Lin Yuan no chance to make any move.
Seeing the two completely separated and isolated, the leader of the Flood Dragon Demons could no longer suppress his smugness and arrogance. He threw his head back and let out a hoarse, wild laugh, the sound echoing under the dark sky, full of sinister intent and certainty.
"Hahaha! Arrogant fools, do you even know what a desperate situation is? We'll take you down one by one, slaughter you piecemeal. Both of you will die here today!"
He felt immensely pleased with himself, secretly pleased with his plan. With his unparalleled ability to sense killing intent, he anticipated the movements of his pursuers, patiently lay in wait, and laid a trap. Furthermore, by relying on the spatial division power of his command flag, he perfectly countered the opponent's tactical advantage of a two-man team.
He knew perfectly well that if the two of them joined forces to fight to the death, even if his side had the advantage in numbers, they would inevitably suffer heavy casualties, and might even be overtaken by the enemy and be trapped by the sky.
But now that the space is divided, the advantage has completely shifted to their side. Without long-range harassment and coordination, and without offensive and defensive support, the two are fighting alone and isolated, their combat power has been reduced by more than half, and there is no possibility of turning the tide.
The dragon demon's vertical pupils gleamed with cold light, its killing intent boiling over completely. It stared intently at Lin Yuan, who remained calm within the barrier, its eyes filled with the thrill of the hunt.
He knew very well that Lin Yuan was the greatest threat of the two. Once he killed him, the remaining women with guns would be no threat and could be easily eliminated.
However, he was meticulous and planned his actions carefully. He knew that although the power of the mutated demonic flag was strong, it had great limitations and was not invincible.
The core power of this pitch-black Heaven-Suppressing Banner was entirely used to stabilize the celestial imprisonment and maintain the separation of the two spaces.
The barriers and sky-sealing are extremely energy-intensive. If four or five Fallen Ones are sent into the same void space at once, the restlessness and conflict of magic energy inside will instantly disrupt the energy balance of the command flag. Not only will it fail to stabilize the encirclement, but it will also cause the sky-sealing to loosen and the spatial barriers to shatter, leaving the opponent with a flaw to escape through the void.
Therefore, the maximum capacity of the command flag is that it can only accommodate two to three people to enter a single void space for combat at a time, in order to perfectly maintain the stability of the formation and firmly lock down the entire battle situation.
It's a safe bet, but there's no solution.
There's no need for a full-scale assault; instead, entering in batches and taking turns fighting is the safest way to wear them down.
Even if the opponent is incredibly powerful, they cannot withstand the endless relentless battles and will eventually exhaust their spiritual energy and be defeated.
Having made up his mind, the leader of the Flood Dragon Demons no longer hesitated, and once again gave the order in a deep voice, his sharp gaze locking onto the two top-tier high-level Fallen Ones:
"You two enter the arena and engage in direct combat to hold him off! No need to rush; just wear him down. Once he's exhausted, switch to another person and wear him down!"
The two Fallen Ones who were named were burly and covered in thick demonic runes. They possessed immense physical strength and were adept at head-on confrontations and prolonged battles. They were among the most endurance- and combat-capable of the ambush troops.
Upon hearing this, the two men instantly revealed arrogant and sinister smiles, brimming with arrogance. Two against one, and with their opponent completely isolated and without any support, it was a certain death situation in their eyes, without the slightest suspense.
"Don't worry, Chief! He's just one person; the two of us can easily crush him!"
"Even if he's a formidable fighter, we'll take turns attacking him relentlessly, wearing him down until he's dead! Today, we'll definitely take his head!"
The two burst into loud laughter, their tone brimming with confidence, completely disregarding Lin Yuan inside the barrier.
They had already devised a strategy: by working together, pulling and alternating between offense and defense, they would continuously deplete the opponent's spiritual energy and physical strength. Once they were exhausted, they would immediately withdraw from the barrier and have their teammates take over. With this perfect war of attrition, they would wear down their opponents little by little and secure victory.
A chilling demonic aura erupted from their bodies, with pitch-black demonic flames swirling around them. Two black figures stepped out, their forms flashing as they pierced through the barrier of the void and entered the dark void where Lin Yuan was.
The two Fallen Ones, one on the left and one on the right, firmly blocked all of Lin Yuan's evasive angles. Their murderous aura locked onto him, and their killing intent filled the air as they stared intently at the seemingly calm and slender figure in front of them...
