A malicious look flashed in the eyes of the six other disciples when they heard Han Kongqun's whisper.
There were different types of formations, each having its own clever functions, and could be roughly categorized into illusive formations, trapping formations, and killing formations. The main function of an illusive formation was to confuse the target's five senses; its lethality was relatively weak, and it was usually used to stop the enemy from advancing. The lethality of a trapping formation was greater than an illusive formation, but its main function was to trap the enemy, and it was withdrawn once the enemy was defeated most of the time. It was also the type of formation commonly used by Han Kongqun and his fellow disciples.
The third type—killing formations—pushed the art of formation to its extreme, and their only function was to slaughter.
