Just before the white light hit, the captain assassin took out a shield and raised it in front of him to block the white light. This shield was a treasure and could block the attack of a Peak Sovereign Profound Realm cultivator. After the light faded, the people saw the man unscathed. Turned out the shield was a really good defense treasure.
The main didn't stop and attacked again, increasing the power this time. He attacked the formation a few more times, repeating the same routine, attack and defend.
A few minutes later!
The formation was still standing firm, the leader of the assassins group had launched dozens of attacks but couldn't break the formation. Actually, he was a little afraid of the formation's rebound attack which was the reason why he didn't go all out.
