The chief guard, a great expert, pursued a renegade dragon, but it led him into a formation set up by the Su Clan. There, he encountered Ye Zhongming, who revealed his intent to kill the chief guard and create an opportunity for his allies to eliminate Prince Zimu. The chief guard, confident in Zimu's safety and his own abilities, prepared to fight.

Within the isolated formation, some golden lights flowed. As Ye Zhongming spoke, the light gradually intensified until the entire formation was covered in a layer of golden mist.

The chief guard's pupils contracted. The net in his hand earlier had disappeared, replaced by a shield and a three-pronged fork.

He had some vague guesses in his heart, but he dared not be certain.

Ye Zhongming's legs showed no visible movement, but his body had already sprung up. His hands pressed down slightly, channeling energy into the two metal pillars on either side of his body.

The Ten Great Formations required the array setter to control them to unleash their true power personally.

The entire formation came alive at this moment.

Those golden gleams, which had seemed so tranquil, suddenly surged upward with a roar, making the air itself feel sharp.

Within the golden light, blurry shadows began to appear. They were all in human form, looking somewhat bloated. But after they became slightly clearer, one could see that it was not bloatedness but thick armor they were wearing.

Not only that, the humanoid figures held long halberds in their hands, and all the shadows, regardless of direction, faced the direction where the chief guard stood.

"Gold Soldier Killing Formation?!"

The chief guard, who had remained relatively calm until now, cried out in shock.

He might not have eaten pork, but he had seen pigs run. How could the chief guard not recognize this formation, one of the Su Clan's Ten Great Formations?

Those golden humanoid figures were its hallmark.

His expression was extremely ugly. He truly had not expected that this Star-Eye clansman had actually brought the Gold Soldier Killing Formation here!

To have reached the realm of a great expert, one naturally belonged to the small group of the most outstanding among the cosmic races. The chief guard forced himself to calm down, looked at Ye Zhongming, and said, "All of this will become evidence. The Su Clan and the Star-Eye Clan will pay the price for this."

Ye Zhongming looked at him with an expression one would use to look at an idiot.

The meaning was extremely obvious: after having said he would kill you, you still have the mood to think about this? You really have a big heart.

With a slight movement of Ye Zhongming's hands, the formation became completely clear, and the solid golden soldiers began their attack.

There was no simultaneous war cry, nor any preamble. The long halberds in these golden soldiers' hands all stabbed toward the great expert at the same time.

It was hard to describe what that feeling was like. It was like the overwhelming rain of arrows in LOL, or like the monsters flowing down the stone wall in Warcraft: dense, oppressive, suffocating...

The chief guard raised his shield. A light black energy barrier immediately appeared on it, enveloping his entire body, even covering both sides. At the same time, the three-pronged fork in his other hand reached toward the back to parry.

In the formation, the golden soldiers existed not only in the front but also in the back. The chief guard had to deal with both front and rear. As for dodging, forget it; as long as one was within the formation, there was simply no way to dodge.

No matter which part of the formation the golden soldiers were in, their halberds all hit their target at the same time. From the front came a dang sound, while from the back came a series of connected ding sounds.

The halberds withdrew, and the first attack ended.

The chief guard discarded the now-broken shield and three-pronged fork without a trace of regret, and a smile even appeared on his face.

He took out two more items from his space: a piece of armor and a curved knife. Then he took one step forward.

The golden soldiers' halberds all stabbed out again.

The armor, used as a shield, was riddled with holes, and the curved knife was now only one-fifth of its original length.

The chief guard still threw them to the ground.

"Do you truly understand the Gold Soldier Killing Formation?" The chief guard suddenly spoke at this moment.

He looked at Ye Zhongming with a sneer and said, "The power of the Gold Soldier Killing Formation lies entirely in these golden-armored halberdiers. Because each of their attacks has the characteristic of having no blind spots, they are particularly difficult to withstand."

"Unfortunately, yours is not a real Gold Soldier Killing Formation, only a mini version. Otherwise, I probably could not have withstood even a single blow."

Perhaps the chief guard had been frightened by the reputation of the Gold Soldier Killing Formation earlier, but now that he found it was far from that, he had returned to his previous calm and composed demeanor.

"Moreover, when you activated this formation, it will only be controlled by you once, during the first attack. After that, it will no longer be under your control. It will only launch an attack when the target moves."

"So, when they cannot harm me, and I can walk up to you, you will die."

After speaking, the chief guard took his second step forward.

The golden soldiers launched their third attack. This time, the chief guard used two half-body armors to withstand them.

Then the chief guard took another step forward. Perhaps he had no more defensive equipment left in his space. This time, he took out two weapons.

After the attack, a wound appeared on his shoulder.

This was the first time the chief guard had been injured since the battle began. Clearly, even as a great expert, he could not achieve perfect defense every time.

But at this moment, he was only ten meters away from Ye Zhongming.

"Don't look at me with those eyes. Do you want me to launch an attack on you? I am not that foolish."

The Gold Soldier Killing Formation attacked dynamic targets within the formation. This 'dynamic' included not only movement dynamics but also dynamics such as the release of energy, etc.

If the chief guard launched an attack on Ye Zhongming, Ye Zhongming would counter with continuous counterattacks. He did not want to take that risk.

Glancing at the wound on his shoulder, the chief guard's relaxed.

"It really is a product with weakened materials. The power is not impressive."

He just could not dodge. It did not mean he could not defend. He already had an understanding of the power of this small-scale Gold Soldier Killing Formation.

It was only at the level of barely being able to break through his defense.

He took his fourth step forward, but the golden soldiers' attack did not arrive as expected.

The chief guard immediately took a step back.

The Gold Soldier Killing Formation he knew was not like this. The attack should definitely have come. He thought it was weird, so he chose a more cautious approach.

But he soon regretted this decision.

Some changes suddenly appeared within the Gold Soldier Killing Formation. Those golden halberdiers changed. They were no longer glittering gold; instead, some black, murky things appeared on them.

It was like... a clean, light-colored piece of clothing had been splashed with ink.

At the same time, the halberds also could not maintain their pure golden color. A layer of greenish tint appeared on them.

The chief guard had truly never seen such a Gold Soldier Killing Formation.

He did not move. Or rather, he had already moved. He had taken one step back and forth, but there had been no attack just now. Now, these 'dirty' golden soldiers all stabbed toward him at once, and not just once.

In haste, the chief guard pricked his forehead. Several drops of blood were drawn out by him, and then with a casual wave, the few drops of blood immediately transformed into four blood figures the same size as him, standing in the four directions around him: front, back, left, and right. At the same time, he took out two short daggers and swung them toward the front.

Faced with the now-unknown Gold Soldier Killing Formation, the chief guard brought out his specialty technique: Forehead Blood Method Phase!
