Chapter 1432: Controlling the Four Night Saints

The Four Night Saints had always maintained a low profile, but they had never failed in any mission before. They had eliminated countless enemies for the Imperial Teacher Residence. Now that they had been assigned to kill Xiang Shaoyun, they utilized the Four Divisions Formation to produce a terrifying attack that could kill even a peak Great Saint.

Of course, Xiang Shaoyun was no longer the same person. With his primal inception energy and Cosmos Dao Destroying Fist, nobody could stop him. Not even the Four Divisions Formation could do much to his fists.

The Four Divisions Formation launched attacks again and again as the Four Night Saints cooperated to flawlessly control the formation, foiling Xiang Shaoyun's attempts at locating their weaknesses.

The longer the battle dragged on, the more ferocious Xiang Shaoyun seemed as he fought with all his strength. His blood started boiling as he grew excited from the battle. Only such a challenge could pressure him, temper his new-gained strength, and help him advance further in his path of cultivation.

Numerous astonishing phenomena manifested in the sky as the four beasts and endless fists clashed against each other. The battle grew more and more intense.

Upon discovering that they wouldn't be able to defeat Xiang Shaoyun quickly, the four finally remembered Meng Youfang's warning that they should never underestimate Xiang Shaoyun. It would seem like Meng Youfang was right.

Four Divisions Resonance!

The four beasts roared at the same time, forming a resonance as their roars became a furious tsunami reaching the very depths of one's heart. This was an unstoppable formless attack.

Xiang Shaoyun felt his blood stirring restlessly and nearly started bleeding from his nose, eyes, lips, tongue, and ears. If it wasn't for the protection of his Nether Soul Dragon Headband, this attack alone was enough to deal him a great injury.

Four Divisions Revolution!

Next, the four beasts started shifting around repeatedly, making it impossible for one to see their exact position. Numerous attacks were unleashed again and again. The coiling dragon appeared unexpectedly, the fierce tiger descended the mountain, the vermilion bird spread its wings, and the black turtle breathed deeply.

This was a terrifying combination attack. It greatly weakened even Xiang Shaoyun's impressive fist intent. Attack after attack struck his body, assaulting him with great pain.

How terrifyingly destructive. This formation is definitely stronger than the Devil Subduing Formation, thought Xiang Shaoyun.

At this point, Xiang Shaoyun naturally couldn't hold back anymore. The energy around him swirled and shifted into the yin and yang energies. The Yin Yang Shield formed around him and deflected the incoming attack, greatly weakening the impact on his body. At the same time, he used his finger as a sword and slashed at the empty air, sending out an indescribable power.

Instant Tempo!

The dao of time was one of the strongest daos in existence. Wherever the finger sword reached, time seemed to stop, emptying the minds of all its targets before striking them.

Whoosh!

The attack struck the Four Night Saints, leaving terrifying sword wounds on their bodies and spilling their blood. That caused them to pause their formation for a split second, an opportunity Xiang Shaoyun grabbed to launch attack after attack at them.

As Time Goes By!

The moment this technique was used, the Four Night Saints sensed their life force and strength weaken. Boundless fear gripped their hearts. Yet another finger sword struck them, leaving even more wounds on their bodies. Even their bones became visible due to the deep wounds. Deep wounds were also visible on their necks. It was clear they had been very close to having their heads cut off.

Time Rewind!

Before they could recover, time changed yet again. They became younger, turning into teenagers and then eventually turning into children. They no longer knew how to react to this kind of attack. At this time, four finger swords flew through the air and cut through their necks, creating four pillars of blood.

"Four Divisions Body Construction!" The Four Night Saints were terrified. They had not expected that Xiang Shaoyun would be so powerful. All four of them roared and attempted to reconnect their severed heads before fleeing.

But how could Xiang Shaoyun give them the chance to do so? With a sneer, he said, "I'm currently lacking quality followers. You guys are perfect."

He then released his Imperial Nether Domain and trapped the Four Night Saints inside. Their bodies and heads were completely suppressed, making it impossible for them to reconnect their severed heads. With their incomplete bodies, they had no way of displaying the strength of Great Saints, much less maintaining the formation.

"Release us, or our master won't spare you! He is a God Realm expert!" threatened Ye Long, one of the Four Night Saints.

"That's right. However strong you are, you won't be able to escape our master. Release us, and we will plea for leniency on your behalf," said Ye Hu.

Ye Qiao said, "You will never be able to imagine what Gods are capable of. Release us, kid!"

Ye Gui said, "Let us go, and this will end here. We will pretend all this never happened."

The four were connected by heart and knew that they wouldn't be able to escape. The only thing they could do was threaten Xiang Shaoyun, hoping that he would release them.

After shackling them with numerous chains, Xiang Shaoyun smiled and said, "I'll be your master soon. Be patient."

He then started chanting the Nether Dragon Soul Curse, sending numerous ancient symbols flying toward their heads.

"Trying to enslave us? Dream on!" Ye Long roared as his powerful saint soul stirred, forcefully shattering the ancient symbols.

"I'm in charge here, not you. Gui Qi, come say hi to our guests," said Xiang Shaoyun with a smirk.

Next, Gui Qi, who had grown even stronger, appeared. The moment he appeared, he attacked Ye Long with his soul attacks. With his head separated from his body, Ye Long's soul had been greatly weakened. With the suppression of the Imperial Nether Domain, he soon failed to withstand Gui Qi's attack. Xiang Shaoyun took this chance to activate the Nether Dragon Soul Curse once again, forcefully branding Ye Long's saint soul with the curse and putting Ye Long under his control.

As for the other three Great Saints, they were completely helpless under Xiang Shaoyun's suppression. Without their bodies, they couldn't even self-detonate. After putting Ye Long under his control, Xiang Shaoyun used his curse against the three remaining Great Saints. After a while, the Four Night Saints had fallen under his control.

Together, the Four Night Saints were as strong as a pseudo-God. Nevertheless, they couldn't escape Xiang Shaoyun's control. Only after branding their souls with his curse did Xiang Shaoyun allow them to reconnect their bodies and heads.

After successfully joining their heads and their bodies, they regained their life force. However, due to their great exhaustion, they needed some time before they could return to their peak strength.

They wanted to escape Xiang Shaoyun's control, but they could no longer hide their intention from Xiang Shaoyun. The moment that thought crossed their minds, Xiang Shaoyun chanted his curse, tormenting them with great pain. Finally, they submitted fully.

"I'm now your master. Tell me, who sent you?" asked Xiang Shaoyun.

"Imperial Teacher Residence," the four answered at the same time.
