"Listen up, you lot! You can come in, but that little lady is for us brothers to have some fun with," the leading guard yelled from atop the city wall.
As he spoke, his narrow eyes roamed greedily over Ye Yuhan, his desire unconcealed.
Ye Yuhan, standing below the city, shivered instinctively at the guards' gazes and took two steps back.
"Don't panic, brothers. Don't forget we're inside a formation. How could these two rogue cultivators, who appeared out of nowhere, possibly break through the formation of the Sun Base?"
"Exactly! They're just a bunch of clowns, not worth mentioning!"
...
The next moment.
Under the horrified gazes of the guards, the fire dragon rapidly smashed towards the formation on the city wall.
With Ye Yuhan's reminder, Li Mingbo controlled the fire dragon at a height, generally level with the guards standing on the city wall.
"Sister Yuhan is right. This formation leans towards defense, so we'd best not attack head-on!" Li Mingbo instructed Liu Qichao while controlling the fire dragon.
"I know. Later, we'll directly infuse our elemental energy into the city wall and use the fire dragon's self-detonation for splash damage against those scumbags on the wall."
As they spoke, the thirty-foot-tall fire dragon had already soared into the air.
Under their deliberate control, the fire dragon avoided contact with the base's formation. Even as flames erupted and scattered, the falling flames were consumed by self-combustion before they could touch the formation.
And so.
A bizarre event was about to unfold.
The guards within the base eagerly awaited Li Mingbo and the other's attack to trigger reflected damage and cripple them. As the fire dragon's pressure intensified, the guards' anticipation grew stronger.
However, despite its immense pressure, the thirty-foot fire dragon did not touch the formation at all. It slowly ascended into the air, brushing past the formation.
"What are these two bumpkins up to?"
"They summoned a fire dragon but aren't attacking the formation. Are they just trying to scare us?"
"Scare us? I wasn't born yesterday. Speaking of which, the flames on this fire dragon – red, yellow, white – they're truly brilliant."
As if understanding the guards' conversation, the fire dragon in mid-air began to twist in a peculiar manner.
With each rotation, the various colors within the flames gradually became transparent, leaving only red and white.
"I have a bad feeling about this!"
The changes in the fire dragon in the air captured the attention of all the guards. One guard, gazing at the crystal-clear fire dragon, couldn't help but say.
It wasn't just this guard who noticed the anomaly; in fact, as the fire dragon's colors shifted, everyone's gaze was drawn to it.
At that very moment, the fire dragon in mid-air had completed its final transformation.
"Roar!"
The fire dragon raised its massive head, let out a low roar, and then ascended directly above the guards.
The guards within the formation felt a bad premonition.
Because the yellow and white fire dragon, exuding immense pressure, instantly produced a violent explosion!
First, there was a deafening boom, and countless blade energy fragments exploded!
Bang bang bang!
Blade energy fragments continuously struck the air above the base's formation, triggering the formation's reflection function. It absorbed the damage, condensed the blade energy, and then shot it out again.
The period of reflected damage was not long, but the guards caught in the center of the explosion felt it was an eternity.
With just this single blast, the deafening roar instantly rendered them deafeningly deaf, and those with lower cultivation levels directly fainted.
Even the leading guard, possessing some initial Grandmaster realm strength, had a grim expression.
Others might not understand the operational principle of the base's formation, but as the guard commander, how could he not?
Although the formation could absorb attacks and reflect damage, it was all based on the formation's control.
This meant that if the cultivation of the martial artist controlling the formation was insufficient, they would inevitably suffer a backlash.
By the time the explosion subsided and silence returned, the leading guard found that more than half of his elemental energy had been drained by the formation.
