The few of them walked forward, but formed a circle, with the white-robed youth standing in the middle.

If one were to look down from the sky, they would see that their formation was shaped like nine palaces.

With a distance of fifty meters, the nine of them arrived in less than a minute. Their eyes were burning with passion as they looked at the Green Spirit Fruit tree on the cliff.

Of course, they didn't forget that there was a half-step Demon General level beast guarding this place. Each and every one of them was incomparably vigilant.

Finally, they saw the glaring Purple Eyed Mantis in the grass. Its blade-like arms gave off an extremely sharp aura.

"Assemble the formation!" The white-robed youth let out a loud shout. Instantly, the seals formed by their hands rapidly changed, creating a series of afterimages. Their auras slowly merged together, as if they were a single entity.

A powerful aura burst out, and an illusory image of the nine palaces appeared above their heads, enveloping them within. A bloody and murderous aura filled the air.

However, it could be seen that the circulation of their spirit energy was slightly obscure, and wasn't unimpeded.

"Roar!"

At this moment, the Purple Eyed Mantis let out an angry hiss and jumped in front of one of the youngsters. Its blade glinted with a sharp luster as it slashed horizontally.

If this strike was solid, with the young man's cultivation, he would have been cut in half at the waist, and would have lost his life.

"Humph!"

The young man snorted as he held a mottled bronze lance in his hands. A terrifying aura burst forth from his body, sweeping up the surrounding flowers and plants. His long hair fluttered in the wind as his clothes rustled.

His cultivation was only at the late stage of martial arts, but his aura could already be compared with that of a martial artist who had just begun his first attack.

Feeling the dense spirit energy in his body, the youth fearlessly looked at the incoming saber arm. The bronze spear trembled and a spear appeared. It was sharp and flickering with a cold luster as it pierced forward.

Ding ding dang dang!

The sounds of weapons colliding sounded and sparks flew in all directions. The Purple Eyed Mantis roared and the young man harrumphed. His face paled and he retreated backward at the same time.

The Purple-eyed Mantis could not help but be stunned as it felt the pain coming from its arm. It could not believe what had just happened. Why did that human with a weak aura suddenly erupt with an aura that was on par with it?

The teenager shouted angrily as he stepped forward. His steps were strange and ethereal. In a flash, he appeared in front of the wolf. He stabbed the spear at its belly, which was covered with green scales.

Fresh blood with a vicious aura spurted out along with the pained howls of the Purple Eyed Mantis.

The pain finally brought the Purple Eyed Mantis back to its senses, and a strange red color emerged in its purple eyes.

Violent demonic energy exploded from its huge body, directly sending the spear-wielding youth flying away with his spear. As he was in the air, he spewed out a mouthful of blood. The other eight youths all had pale faces due to the close connection of their auras.

"The Purple Eyed Mantis is going berserk!" The white-cloaked young man's expression changed slightly. Seeing the furious Purple Eyed Mantis pouncing towards him, he immediately shouted: "Change the formation!"

The nine youngsters simultaneously took strange steps as their figures became illusory, leaving afterimages. Their positions changed as they charged towards the spear-wielding youth's huge body, charging into the formation.

From its perception, the formation was like a continuously spinning millstone that was going to strangle it. Its eyes locked onto the white-robed youth standing in the middle of the formation.
