Sam is having trouble with the formation. Not because it is a high-level formation, rather it is pretty basic, the problem is that it is extremely layered and all the layers are made with many nodes. Even if there are some nodes missing, the formation will shift to a different form with almost the same output.

The formation destruction is not exactly difficult but it is time taking and persistent. Particularly in a battle, he would need to find that one point that would destroy the formation. As for the core of the formation, he couldn't find it. This is one of the coreless formations.

If not for the fact that he made the move while the formation is still activating, the temperature in the formation would have been far worse than what it is now.

The core disciple went after Sam without giving up and the rest of the people are being kept busy by the team.

The sect leader was stunned by the display of power from Sam's team.

They are in constant upper hand even though the environment is against them, but he didn't worry too much.

"Go defensive, don't try to kill or injure, just drag for the time."

The sect leader directly announced his instructions, he is still in a staredown with the Night Ghost, not starting the battle yet.

But the tension is building up and they are sure that the one person who loses patience will be the one to lose.

After half an hour, Sam noticed that the team is currently feeling a bit problematic with the ice elemental energy invading their bodies.

Sam felt the urgency. He activated fire elemental energy fusion and walked slashed the sword at the core disciple which left a large slash on his chest and then focused on the formation.

He took out a bunch of knives and moved around on the harbinger and started throwing them at different spots.

The core disciple who was slashed with the sword is suffering from the corrosion effect on the body as he rolled on the ground. His golem covered him with the humungous body and tried its best to block all the attacks.

The sect leader frowned for the first time.

He didn't that the core disciple would fare this bad. From start to finish, he didn't stand a chance against Sam. Every single attack Sam made landed and he is not even focusing on the fight. He is clearly focusing on the formation.

As he looked at the fiery knives landing on different spots, he had a bad premonition.

He wanted to make a move, but Night Ghost is giving him too much pressure. He has been in this cultivation level for a few decades and he could clearly sense tha
