"Next!" Steven shouted, and the formation masters activated the next formation.
Spikes of earth coated with Metal Qi rose from the ground, skewing the beasts above them mercilessly, creating an image of gore and blood. Dozens of beasts died directly from the spikes themselves while hundreds were slowed down due to the changed terrain and were stamped to death by those behind them.
"Next!"
Steven gave another command soon when multiple beasts of the fifth rank charged through the spikes, breaking them and flattening the ground again.
With the last command, the third and last formation was activated, and poisonous gas came from the ground. It was invisible and odorless, and even the disciples of the Phoenix Feather Sect thought there was a problem with the next line of defense.
