Hong You wasn’t the only one, the other warlocks were moving in the same way. They looked like 12 marionettes that had been connected together.

A bulge appeared on the back of every single warlock.

“Ah!”

“Ah…”

“…”

After multiple cries, the eyes of the twelve warlocks turned blood red, as if there was actual blood flowing in them. This was a horrifying sight.

However, what was more horrifying was the fact that a gigantic head and two arms actually grew out of Hong You’s back.

“…” Fang Zhengzhi was speechless.

‘What the hell is that?!’

‘Two arms and a head grew out?’

Fang Zhengzhi was actually a little taken aback because it wasn’t just happening to Hong You. Arms and heads grew out of the other warlocks’ backs too.

It looked extremely bizarre.

‘Is this our young hero Little Nezha?!” (Nezha is a mythical hero in Chinese legends with three heads and six arms)

No!

Little Nezha had three heads and six arms, but the twelve warlocks each had two heads and four arms, so they were different. Furthermore, according to what he knew, Little Nezha’s extra heads and arms were part of his transformation.

However, for the twelve warlocks…

The extra heads and arms actually grew out of their bodies.

“Die!” The warlocks cried, and four weapons appeared in each of their hands as they charged towards Fang Zhengzhi.

“What happened to the Twelve Warlocks’ Formation? Isn’t there any structure?” Fang Zhengzhi was a little surprised because the twelve warlocks weren’t supposed to be so rash.

‘At the very least, they should attack from both front and back or form a few rows.’

‘However, attacking at the same time…’

‘Is a little unorthodox, isn’t it?’

Despite these thoughts, Fang Zhengzhi already began evading their attacks. Taking the combined attack of the twelve warlocks head-on was tough but meaningless, so he naturally wouldn’t do that.

He soared into the sky immediately.

The twelve warlocks followed after him at an astounding speed too.

Soon, the warlocks were by his side and 48 weapons slashed towards him in all directions.

Woosh!

Fang Zhengzhi disappeared, only leaving behind a sky blue radiance. Then, his body dropped downwards rapidly. He wanted to get behind the twelve warlocks with Heaven Dao and defeat them one by one.

However, as soon as he appeared behind one of the warlocks, he suddenly discovered that the warlock in front of him had disappeared without a trace instantly.

“What?” Fang Zhengzhi was a little startled. He had obviously missed his attacks before, but it never happened after he reached Godly State.

What was going on?

While he was trying to figure it out, he realized that the twelve warlocks had once again appeared around him and they were the same distance away from him as when they had surrounded him just now.

Even their positions were identical.

Meanwhile, Fang Zhengzhi was still right in the center of their encirclement.

“Teleportation? Space reversal? What… The hell is this?” Fang Zhengzhi thought of many possibilities, but he couldn’t confirm any one of them.

“Fang Zhengzhi, you can’t escape the encirclement!” Although it was Hong You who said that, the voice came out of all the twelve warlocks’ mouths.

All of the warlocks were talking, even the movement of their lips was identical.

“It’s twelve warlocks’ synthesis! Fang Zhengzhi, the Twelve Warlocks’ Formation allows the warlocks to combine their bodies and souls into one!” Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five explained.

“Really? This kind of formation exists?” Fang Zhengzhi blinked.

‘This is completely unscientific. How could twelve people become one? They aren’t Transformers, so how could they combine into one?’

Fang Zhengzhi was really a little speechless.

Of course, he also felt somewhat helpless because this world wasn’t based around science, so many things truly couldn’t be explained.

However, since the twelve warlocks were known as Chi You’s strongest force, it was understandable that they had unique abilities.

Though, since that was the case…

This wasn’t fun anymore.

The twelve warlocks weren’t overly powerful individually. Every one of them was just a little stronger than the average Godly Beast. However, they weren’t as strong as beasts like Qiong Qi.

Therefore, when Fang Zhengzhi saw the warlocks charging towards him, he actually thought that they were delivering ‘free kills’.

This was slightly awkward.

‘Does it mean that I have to fight 12 of them by myself?’

“You have to do whatever you can to create an opening and kill one of them. As long as you did that, their overall strength would decrease by 10%, and it would be much easier afterward.” Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five explained once again.

“That’s a good idea.” Fang Zhengzhi commended Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five’s suggestion.

‘However, the underlying condition seems to be killing one of them. That’s actually stating the obvious since it would naturally be much easier if I can kill one of them.’

‘The problem is if I can kill one of them or not!’

Without overthinking, Fang Zhengzhi decided to give it a try since trying never made anyone pregnant, just like how it wouldn’t go in if you were just rubbing against the entrance.

“Die!” The twelve warlocks rushed towards him once again.

This time, Fang Zhengzhi was going to take it head-on. He held on to Xuanyuan Sword tightly with a faint radiance in his eyes, and he looked extremely serious.

They were getting closer and closer!

He could even feel the chill from the weapons in the warlocks’ hands.

Boom!

A black flame started burning furiously in the center of their encirclement. The surrounding air was hissing due to the heat.

“Where is he?!”

“Fall back!”

The warlocks didn’t manage to instantly locate Fang Zhengzhi. It was as if he had suddenly disappeared without warning. They were slightly alarmed and decided to back away as a cautionary measure.

As the saying went, ‘Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee’.

That could probably describe how the twelve warlocks attacked and retreated simultaneously.

However, they obviously weren’t getting away this time.

That was because multiple different;y colored chains flew out of the black flame right after they started moving back. They were headed towards one of the warlocks.

Crack!

Crack!

That warlock was hit almost instantly and he stopped moving.

Although the other warlocks weren’t hit, they couldn’t move their bodies either. They stopped in the air just like the warlock who was struck.

“Hmph, Near-Life Dao. Do you think we are Monsters? Open!” Hong You opened his mouth and the voice came out of all the warlocks simultaneously.

In the meantime, the chains started breaking rapidly.

The twelve warlocks had combined as one.

One of them was as strong as the twelve of them combined. Their power was interconnected, and so were their minds, and even their visions.

Crack! They broke off another chain.

Then, one after another, the chains broke.

When the last chain was almost broken, twelve shadows appeared from the black flame, and each of them was holding a Xuanyuan Sword.

“Dragon!”

“Conquers!”

“The Eight!”

“Seas!”

They heard Fang Zhengzhi’s voice.

“You want to defeat the twelve of us simultaneously with one move?! Naive!” Hong You’s expression turned cold. As the shadow approached him, a metallic radiance appeared on his body.

However, his eyes went agape when the shadow was in front of him.

That was because the sword didn’t fall… Like how he had expected.

Instead, it was a ball of snow-white powder?!

“What?!” Hong You was shocked. He wanted to back away, but he hadn’t broken off the last chain yet. He felt pain coming from his eyes before he managed to fall back.

“Eyes, my eyes!”

“Eyes, my eyes!”

“…”

All of them warlocks uttered at the same time.

That was because they experienced the same fate as Hong You. The shadows threw lime powder at their faces without any warning.

The twelve warlocks were simultaneously ‘blinded’.

Of course, it was just temporary for them. It wouldn’t actually affect them, and their visions would recover shortly.

However, despite that…

They still realized quickly that their opponent wasn’t just incredibly powerful. He would utilize shameless tactics that common masters wouldn’t even bother with!

“Quick, fall back now!” Hong You didn’t hesitate. He could predict that their temporary blindness could likely create an opportunity for Fang Zhengzhi.

Although he wasn’t sure how Fang Zhengzhi was going to break through their combined defense, he’d rather be safe than sorry.

They fell back.

The warlocks flew backward rapidly.

Then, Hong You felt a sharp pain coming from his asshole.

“Ah?!” The intense pain coursed through Hong You’s powerful nerves, and he didn’t know what words he should use to describe the pain.

Meanwhile, the surrounding Godly Beasts and Demons…

Were completely dumbfounded.

“…”

“…”

‘What on earth?!’

‘What happened to the pride of a master?’

…

Pride?

Fang Zhengzhi never cared about pride. He only knew one thing for certain – Since their defense was interconnected, then, their pain was naturally interconnected as well.

Poking one asshole was equivalent to poking 12 assholes…

How could he pass up on such a good deal?

Since he wanted to break through their combined defense in one go, he’d naturally be as ruthless as possible. He didn’t need to care about anything else.

In fact, he didn’t poke Hong You’s asshole.

The victim was another warlock, but it was super effective. All the twelve warlocks, including Hong You, felt the sharp pain.

“Break up!” Hong You finally said something, he couldn’t endure this pain anymore.

The Twelve Warlocks’ Formation could assemble and disband at will. Once assembled, they would be combined as one. They could also disband and endure the pain individually. They wouldn’t feel the pain from before after assembling the formation again.

This was one of the Twelve Warlocks’ Formation’s huge advantages.

They were incredibly tough when they were combined. However, if something was too much for them to endure, they could split up instantly and look for another opportunity to re-assemble afterward.

However, Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes lit up instantly.

‘They split up?!’

‘That makes things easy…’

After poking the bottom, it was naturally time to poke the top.

Poking both the top and the bottom was the true essence of poking!

That was the ultimate truth.

Fang Zhengzhi descended from the sky, and Xuanyuan Sword exuded an extremely dazzling golden radiance in his hand. It dawned upon the warlock that was enduring the pain just like a bolt of lightning.

Hong You regained his vision partially at this moment, and when he saw the golden radiance falling from the sky, he quickly uttered, “Crap, assemble now!”

However, it was too late.

That was because Fang Zhengzhi was too fast.

Slash! Xuanyuan Sword penetrated his head.

Its sharp blade was more than what any of the warlocks could handle individually. Once they split up, each one of them would be fighting by himself.

“Boom!” Blood gushed out.

Till his death, that warlock couldn’t believe that the Twelve Warlocks’ Formation would actually be broken by Fang Zhengzhi with such ‘simple’ and ‘shameless’ tactics.

He first threw lime powder at their eyes and blinded them.

Then, he took advantage of the opportunity to ‘backstab’ them.

Finally, he immediately dealt a killing blow to one of the warlocks after they had temporarily separated. Each one of his tactics was something that any master with pride would never do.

However, when those tactics combined…

They actually broke up their Twelve Warlocks’ Formation!

“Ah! Lan Ling!”

“Ah! Lan Ling!”

“…”

The eleven remaining warlocks uttered simultaneously, and all of them looked extremely furious.

They lived together since ancient times and had never been separated before, yet now, Fang Zhengzhi killed Lan Ling?!

“Kill him!”

“Kill him!”

“…”

All of the eleven warlocks’ eyes were extremely red. After losing one of the warlocks, their strength went down by 10%, but that didn’t affect their determination to kill Fang Zhengzhi.

“Actually, even if I killed one of them, when the eleven remaining ones combine… They are still pretty strong, aren’t they?” Fang Zhengzhi’s lips curled into a faint smile.

In that case, he’d try it again.

After all, if the first try didn’t her pregnant, more tries wouldn’t necessarily get her pregnant either.

“Die!” Fang Zhengzhi yelled and leaped up above the eleven warlocks.

‘Traceless…’

‘I finally understand why you are called Traceless.’

‘That’s because you ARE Traceless!’

‘Your name is Traceless, and your blade turns into Xuanyuan Sword!”

Buzz! Xuanyuan Sword let out a loud buzz as if it sensed Fang Zhengzhi’s heart. A terrifying radiance burst out of its golden body.

Then, it grew bigger rapidly.

One inch, two inches… Ten inches, a hundred inches…

“Traceless, let’s do this together…”

“God-Killing!”

“Slash!”

Fang Zhengzhi’s gaze turned sharp all of a sudden, then, he headed towards the eleven warlocks who were charging towards him, with the gigantic golden Xuanyuan Sword in his hand.

At this moment, there weren’t any other colors in the sky.

There was nothing but the golden radiance.

“God-Killing… Slash?!” Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five’s eyes were also glittering with a golden radiance at this moment. He gazed at the golden radiance that lit up the sky, as well as the vivid flowers, trees, mountains, and rivers that were flowing on Xuanyuan Sword. It was as if ancient history had appeared right before his eyes once again.

‘Yes…’

‘He really is Xuanyuan!’

Boom! The sword radiance landed right in the center of the warlocks. Millions of spots of light dispersed and brightened the entire sky just like the sun.

Boom!

Boom!

“…”

One after another, streams of golden radiance fell onto the ground with a bang.

Bright red drops of blood splattered in the air and rained down from the sky like a bloody rain. Then, they fell onto the ground and disappeared without a trace.

Cracks started appearing on the ground where the blood fell, and it seemed like magma was overflowing.

“The ground has… Cracked open?” Everyone’s attention was in the sky, except Yun Qingwu, who was looking at the ground.
