He had just summoned around seventy people, forming the current Seven Shadows Assassination Formation.
As the Hall Master of the Red Buddha Society, Gong Zisheng naturally understood that while the Blood-Burning Combat Technique was immensely powerful, its drawbacks were glaringly obvious.
For the average person, using it was far too dangerous. If it wasn’t used to its fullest, they’d fail to win the battle at hand and still suffer the backlash of the technique.
If it was overused, even if they managed to win the immediate fight, the subsequent backlash from the Blood-Burning Combat Technique would be enough to leave them in a mutually destructive state.
Ever since Gong Zisheng had come into contact with the Blood-Burning Combat Technique, he’d been working on refining its application.
In the end, he combined it with his Seven Shadows Assassination Formation to create a unique and devastating power.
For Gong Zisheng, each of these black shadows contained ten people, like ten battery cells.
Though the true qi drained rapidly once the Blood-Burning Combat Technique was activated, as long as Gong Zisheng aimed for victory and disregarded the lives of those seventy men, he could vastly amplify the formation’s power, making it an unstoppable force, capable of slaying gods and Buddhas alike!
At that moment, even Xu Fei’s expression grew serious. Once the Seven Shadows Assassination Formation took shape, even he felt considerable pressure.
“Whether you’re a mule or a horse, let’s test you out first!”
The mysterious nature of these black shadows left Xu Fei unable to make a detailed or accurate assessment of the situation.
So, he decided to spar with them first and see what happened.
The fight ahead wouldn’t be easy. After all, Xu Fei was facing seven opponents alone, and these seven were enhanced versions at that.
The moment Xu Fei reached out, the seven black shadows moved at lightning speed.
Whoosh!
Xu Fei only caught a fleeting afterimage charging towards him. Unable to see clearly, he instinctively raised his arm to block.
The next second, a fist of tremendous force came straight at him.
Though Xu Fei managed to parry it with his arm, the sheer power forced him to stagger back two steps before regaining his footing.
“Blimey, that was just one of them. If all seven came at me together, I’d be done for!”
After steadying himself, Xu Fei let out a self-mocking chuckle, but Elder Sushui took it seriously.
Hearing Xu Fei’s words, he immediately spoke up, “Xu Fei, you little brat, since you know our Hall Master’s skills are unmatched, I suggest you wise up and surrender early. Today’s the Hall Master’s birthday banquet, so if he’s in a good mood, he might just spare your life!”
Xu Fei wouldn’t believe such nonsense. He’d always known one truth in his heart: fairness only existed between fists. Only if your own fist was big enough would you be treated fairly.
If Xu Fei surrendered in the face of such difficulty, he reckoned the next moment Gong Zisheng would have him seized, thrown into a dungeon, and then cheerfully report back to the Red Buddha Society’s leader.
“Less rubbish, old man. I’ve had enough of you already. Let’s start with you!”
No sooner had Xu Fei finished speaking than the silver needles in his hand shot out. Their trajectory was so fast that an ordinary person could hardly track them.
But Elder Sushui wasn’t to be underestimated either. Seeing Xu Fei shift his attack towards him, he immediately launched a counter.
With a surge of true qi in his body, Elder Sushui waved his hand, and a curtain of water appeared out of thin air, shielding him in front.
