Now that you have betrayed the sect, who will still pamper you?.

"My name is Jiang Han."

"Jiang Han?" He was slightly startled, then said in surprise:

"But is it Junior Brother Jiang, the sect master's new disciple, the one who defeated Qin Menghe with his mid-stage Jindan strength?"

"It is me, may I know your name, Senior Brother?"

"My name is Han Cheng. How come Junior Brother Jiang is in Xuandao Mountain..."

Han Cheng was about to say something, but suddenly heard Fang Yun's slightly serious voice:

"Go back first and prepare to activate the formation!"

Everyone was startled when they heard this, and Han Cheng smiled apologetically at Jiang Han, then flashed and quickly returned to his seat.

At this moment, a buzzing sound came from the fog. The sound was very small at first, but soon it turned into a roar, and even the fog was shaken and surged.

By this time, no one understood that the plague was coming.

Many disciples saw this and felt uneasy and panicked, perhaps because it was the first time they had encountered such a situation.

Fang Yun and his companions' expressions darkened. It was obvious that they had anticipated this. Several sword energies shot up into the sky at the same time, instantly dispersing the fog above the valley.

The sword energy of the three Nascent Soul cultivators in the early stage was only five feet thick, but the sword energy of Fang Yun, who was in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, was as thick as thirty feet!

Seeing this, Jiang Han thought there was some deeper meaning behind this move, and quickly released his own sword energy.

"boom--!"

The inky black sword energy was twelve feet thick, and its momentum as it soared into the sky was extremely strong. It carried with it an endless sense of coldness, stirring countless scattered mists into black ice crystals that fell down in a rush.

Ice crystals fell on everyone, and the biting cold made them wake up instantly. The overflowing sword energy brought a great sense of security at this time, making many disciples feel much more at ease.

Many people secretly glanced at Jiang Han with more respect in their eyes. Now they finally understood why he could stand with Senior Brother Fang and the others.

The sword energy alone, which is more than twice as strong as that of the early Nascent Soul stage, is enough to illustrate the opponent's strength.

If the plague insects were not approaching at this moment, they would have pulled Han Cheng aside to ask him who this person was.

The other three early Nascent Soul stage cultivators were even more surprised, although they knew that Jiang Han was very powerful and was among the best in the Core Formation stage.

But no one expected that he would be so strong. He was only in the middle stage of Jindan, but his sword intent was actually stronger than theirs. Although the thickness of the sword intent does not necessarily indicate how strong it is.

After all, the sword intent of the Nascent Soul stage has been precipitated over a long period of time. Not only has it been integrated with their own artistic conception, they can also accurately control the power of every trace of sword intent. This method is definitely not comparable to that of the Jindan stage cultivators.

But the thickness of the sword intent can at least indicate to a certain extent that the opponent's strength, even if it is not durable enough, is definitely not weaker than theirs.

Fang Yun glanced at the black sword intent and was more surprised than the three others.

With his keen eyesight, he could naturally see the extraordinary nature of the sword intent at a glance.

Not only is his sword intent powerful, comparable to that of a sword cultivator at the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage, but his sword intent is also extremely condensed, and even has attributes unique to the sword intent itself.

That extremely cold power is definitely not something that ordinary sword energy can possess. At least, he has never seen the sword intent of any Yuanying stage sword cultivator with special properties.

Moreover, when facing the unknown tide of plague insects, Jiang Han did not panic like other Jindan stage disciples, but was extremely calm.

Based on this character alone, he could assert that this boy would become a great man in the future.

Thinking of this, he held his breath, put aside all distracting thoughts, and shouted, "Activate the formation!"

As he finished speaking, the spiritual power of more than a hundred Jindan stage disciples surged throughout their bodies, and thunders of various colors crackled and flashed endlessly, flowing along their arms and pouring into the formation in front of them.

Twenty beams of light, each ten feet thick, shot straight into the sky. At the same time, dozens of beams of light shot up from other directions, dyeing the sky a rainbow of colors.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth suddenly became extremely violent, and the thunder spiritual power in the air reached its peak at this moment.

"Boom--!"

Dark clouds covered the valley, and the sky turned black in an instant. Then, countless colorful thunders roared and flashed in the thunderclouds, and the dazzling lightning turned the sky and the earth into a colorful field.

At this moment, more buzzing sounds surged in from afar, and the fog outside the valley seemed to have fluctuated to its limit. Groups of white fog kept hitting the shield and were instantly melted by the lightning.

"Be careful, the plague insects have appeared." Fang Yun warned loudly.

Everyone's faces turned stern, their eyes like lightning, staring at the white fog.

“Haw—!”

Accompanied by a shrill scream, a dark golden ball the size of a palm rushed out from the fog.

It was not until this moment that Jiang Han saw the appearance of this plague insect for the first time.

It has two pairs of translucent cicada wings one finger long on its sides, and a patch of compound eyes the size of sand grains on its face, densely packed with no less than hundreds of eyes. It is covered with a dark golden shell, and its abdomen flashes golden light like a firefly.

Just one look at this strange appearance tells you that this guy is not someone to be trifled with.

As soon as the plague insect appeared, it rushed towards the shield impatiently, and then its face cracked open, revealing a mouth that occupied half of its face, revealing hundreds of fangs that were shining with cold light.

Before it could stop, it opened its mouth wide and bit the shield in front of it rapidly.

"Crack!" A bolt of lightning struck, the plague insect's body trembled, it screamed, and fell to the ground with a thud.

Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, more fog surged and fluctuated, and as screams rang out one after another, plague insects rushed out of the fog quickly. As soon as they appeared, they opened their mouths wide and pounced madly at the shield!

"Array down!"

Following Fang Yun's loud shout, the seals in the hands of many Jindan disciples changed, and the colorful thunder in the sky exploded with a rumble, and then fell down with a crack.

"Boom--!"

Thunder continued to fall like rain, completely covering the space in front.

As soon as the plague insect in the front showed its body, it was instantly submerged by thunder. Its body was flashing with lightning, and a large piece of it fell down with a crashing sound.

The thunder did not disappear after it struck, but instead bounced and flashed on the ground and in the air. All the plague insects that approached were swept down by the thunder and died on the spot.

But in just a moment, this place really turned into a prison of thunder. If the plague insects dared to step in, they would be killed by thunder.

"It's worthy of being a formation specifically designed to target plague insects. After the thunder strike, it can still condense and not disperse, and can even continue to attack nearby. Its power is truly terrifying!" Jiang Han exclaimed.

How great it would be if his Divine Thunder of Annihilation could be like this, not dissipating after one strike, but instead chasing the enemy and continuing to attack.

"Junior Brother Jiang is right. With this formation in hand, the insect plague tide should be stable this time." An early Nascent Soul cultivator nearby echoed.

At this moment, Fang Yun suddenly spoke up, "Don't be careless, this has just begun."
