A spatial crack formed, unleashing a storm that created chaotic energy currents, sucking in everything in its path. The city lord and the elders hurriedly summoned a massive energy shield to protect themselves from the incoming punch wave that followed the crack.
However, as the punch wave met the shield, it shattered instantly like glass, continuing forward toward the giant battle formation avatar. The elders tried to raise their defenses, but the avatar collapsed the moment it was swept by the punch, which then struck the heart of the formation.
Pui!
All the elders spat out a mouthful of blood, a side effect of the destroyed avatar. The destruction of the formation, combined with the punch wave, caused all the marquess-stage elders to faint, while the others sustained fatal injuries. Their organs shook, and their energy became unstable—this was the drawback of using a battle formation.
