Chapter 408: Whose Victory, We'll Support, Array Destruction, Life and Death Battle (Part 2)
"
Just then, Song Fengzi's voice reached them from behind.
"That's enough!"
"Fellow Daoist, please step aside!"
Zheng Xian immediately moved aside.
The next moment, the hundred-zhang giant tree rumbled forward with unstoppable momentum, slamming into the seven-colored light screen.
Upon contact, there was a moment of stalemate.
But in an instant, the seven-colored light screen tore like cloth.
The momentum of the city-breaking hammer didn't diminish, and it was about to collide with the Crimson Cloud Peak's mountain body.
In everyone's gaze, a figure suddenly soared into the sky, slapping out a massive handprint that blocked the city-breaking hammer.
Boom!
With a single palm, the city-breaking hammer remained unmoved, its forward momentum slightly halted, but it still advanced.
The person's face changed slightly, and he slapped out two more palms in succession.
Boom!
Boom!
With three consecutive palms, the city-breaking hammer's speed finally came to a stop.
Beyond the Rainbow Peak, Song Fengzi's face revealed a proud smile.
"But, it's still not enough!"
"Wait until this strike hits the mountain body, the grand array connected to the earth's veins will be affected, and at that time..."
But the next moment, his proud smile vanished.
A similarly gigantic staff suddenly burst out from within the Crimson Cloud Peak.
With pinpoint precision, it blocked the city-breaking hammer in front.
"Break!"
With a low shout, the city-breaking hammer finally disintegrated, turning into specks of spiritual light that dissipated within the Crimson Cloud Peak.
By this time, the people outside could see through the ten-zhang-wide light screen's hole and finally saw the two people who had joined forces to block the strike.
One of them wore coarse cloth and had black hair flowing behind him, moving without wind, deep and steadfast, like a generation's master.
The other had a tall stature, holding a golden and black staff that reached the heavens, and his face exuded an air of superiority.
"Blood Demon King, Yuan!"
"Heaven Summit Master, Chu Kui!"
Seeing the two of them, countless people voiced their names.
Song Fengzi's face changed slightly, and he quietly retreated behind the crowd, not wanting to expose himself to the two's gaze.
These two were strong!
He didn't want to be targeted by one of them.
Zheng Xian, however, was fearless, gazing at the two from afar with a sinister smile.
"Excellent!"
"This move of Fellow Daoist Song is enough to force the Luo Tian Association's three top experts to act together. No wonder you're a renowned loose cultivator in the Medicine King Domain and the current Hall Master of the Iron Sword Hall!"
Song Fengzi, who had retreated behind the crowd, was stunned for a moment.
Then, his face turned green and red, almost wanting to curse.
But in the end, he endured.
"My city-breaking talisman can only be activated once in a short period, so it's up to your methods from now on."
He said with resentment and then turned around, entering the Three-Tier Spirit Gathering Array to recover.
Zheng Xian coldly laughed, unconcerned with his displeasure.
He saw clearly that the seven-colored grand array had suffered a heavy blow from this strike.
Although the overall array hadn't collapsed, it wasn't suitable for a large-scale attack.
But!
They had other means.
"It's your turn, Fellow Daoist Xiahou."
Xiahou Kun nodded and said with some concern as he stepped forward.
"Our family's secret technique, although powerful, has a range limitation. If the Luo Tian Association's experts snipe, you'll need protection later."
Zheng Xian waved his hand, "Rest assured, I'll definitely protect you!"
Xiahou Kun breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, the four Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Xiahou Family behind him nodded.
The five of them arrived five li outside the Crimson Cloud Peak.
The four sat cross-legged, manipulating their spirit techniques.
Xiahou Kun was in the center, and his sleeves moved without wind, and in front of him, a large sword emitted a chilling aura.
As the five worked together, the large sword rose into the sky, and a vast sword light slowly took shape.
As he witnessed this, Zheng Xian's eyebrows furrowed.
Same-Origin Bloodline Secret Technique?
Ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators would find it impossible to fully unleash the power of a Magic Tool Treasure.
This involves the barriers of Divine Sense and Spell Power.
But at this moment, it seems the Xiahou Family indeed has its unique strengths.
Using the unified bloodline of their clan, they are jointly activating the power of this inherited Magic Flying Sword, a Treasure they have been refining for many years.
I fear that when they unleash its full power, it will be no less than a full-power strike from an early-stage Golden Core Cultivator!
Time slowly passed.
The four Xiahou Family Foundation Establishment Cultivators frantically manipulated their Spirit Energy, channeling all of it into Xiahou Kun.
Their faces also showed signs of exhaustion.
Zheng Xian's attention was still largely focused on Crimson Cloud Peak.
Through that huge hole, he could see Wang Yuan drawing his bow and arrow again, intending to stop this attack.
When the meteor-like arrow flew out, Zheng Xian laughed aloud.
"The same old trick, useless!"
A fiery light appeared, and he easily caught the black feathered arrow, just as he had done before.
However, before he could melt it away,
His expression changed.
"Something's wrong!"
He looked up and saw that on Crimson Cloud Peak, Wang Yuan and Chu Kui, with their powerful physiques, had forcefully pulled the Treasure-class Longbow to a nearly perfect state.
This strike! Unstoppable!
Zheng Xian quickly waved his hands, creating a large expanse of fiery light, while he himself retreated.
This left no one to block the path of Xiahou Kun and the others.
"Everyone, defend against this strike together!"
Xiahou Kun heard Zheng Xian's commanding voice, but it was already too late.
In his single eye, he saw only the arrow flying in from the sky.
His anger was so intense that he didn't have time to gather the power of his Magic Tool Treasure, and he forcibly teleported several zhang away.
But even so.
Boom!
The black light struck where he had been standing.
The surging Spirit Energy wave knocked him back dozens of zhang.
Ignoring the shaking energy within his body, he rushed towards his original position, shouting.
"Second Brother, Third Brother, Little Seventeen..."
There was no response.
Only broken limbs and shattered bones scattered around.
This arrow not only disrupted the joint attack of the five Xiahou Family Foundation Establishment Cultivators, but it also directly killed four of them.
Trembling, he stood up from the ground, looking at Zheng Xian in disbelief.
"You promised to protect me from snipers!"
Zheng Xian's face showed guilt.
"Sorry, I didn't expect that Magic Tool Treasure could be activated by two people."
"You didn't expect it?" Xiahou Kun gave a miserable laugh. The tragic deaths of four Xiahou Family Foundation Establishment Cultivators couldn't be brushed off with just an 'I didn't expect it.'
Zheng Xian's expression turned solemn, "However, you should be credited for this battle."
"Huh?" Xiahou Kun was puzzled.
But soon, he understood.
Tuobada Lingfei, Xiang Zhonghe, and another senior cultivator from the Zheng Family flew out together.
The three of them maintained the same posture, pushing forward.
A large black light flew out, emitting a nauseating stench.
As the black light swept, the seven-colored light screen covering Crimson Cloud Peak instantly turned pitch-black.
Initially, the black color was faint, but as the light screen trembled, trying to clear away the black light, it became increasingly intense.
The seven-colored light screen seemed to grow weaker.
Xiahou Kun's mouth hung open. At this moment, he realized that he had become the bait for this attack.
Tuobada Lingfei and the other two were the hidden main force for the assault.
Zheng Xian watched the black light spreading on the light screen, his face filled with excitement.
"With our Alliance's Withered Fire True Dharmic Demon, this array will be gone within three days!"
Below him, over a thousand cultivators were also greatly encouraged.
They shouted, "Break Crimson Cloud Peak, Destroy Luo Tian!"
Zheng Xian lowered his head and looked at Xiahou Kun, comforting him, "The ones who killed your Xiahou Family members were Wang Yuan and Chu Kui. After breaking the array, we will avenge you. If we obtain the Core Formation Secret Technique, you can see it first!"
Xiahou Kun gave a bitter laugh, but he was silenced by Zheng Xian's words, unable to say anything.
He walked into the Spirit Gathering Array amidst the grief and worry of the Xiahou Family's Qi Condensation Period Cultivators, his figure appearing more and more dejected compared to the others.
...
On Crimson Cloud Peak.
Pfft!
A mouthful of blood sprayed out, and Min Longyu's face turned deathly pale.
These days, controlling this array had already consumed a lot of his mental energy.
Today, the array had suffered heavy damage, especially from the Withered Fire True Dharmic Demon, which had a terrifying impact on his mental state.
At this moment, he was severely injured.
With difficulty, he took out a few pills from his storage bag and swallowed them hastily.
"I can't fall!"
"I must maintain this array for one more day. I have to buy more time for the President, or else the destruction of the Min Family a hundred years ago will repeat itself."
As he muttered to himself,
A gentle breeze blew nearby.
In a daze, a familiar figure appeared before him.
"You've done your best. From now on, preserve your energy for tomorrow's battle."
"Tomorrow?"
Min Longyu was taken aback.
The figure nodded, placing a hand on his head. A cool and soothing Spirit Energy flowed into his body.
Like a gentle spring rain, it silently healed the injuries he had sustained from controlling the array these days.
He closed his eyes, accepting the treatment without resistance.
But he asked softly, "President, can we really win this battle?"
"We can win!"
Luo Chen, who hadn't appeared in public for a long time, had bright eyes.
His gaze shifted from Min Longyu, penetrating the stone house, as if he could see the figure in the sky who wanted to kill him.
His wide sleeves fluttered without wind, and his confident voice echoed within the stone house.
"Even if we suffer heavy losses, even if Crimson Cloud Peak collapses, we will definitely win this battle!"
...
Night fell.
The rumbling sounds from the outside world continued.
These were the cultivators of the Alliance, trying their best to deplete the Crimson Cloud Peak array, hoping for its early demise.
Luo Chen sat in the Luo Tian Great Hall, pondering over the intelligence in his hand.
Footsteps approached from outside, and soon Sima Hui Niang joined him.
"Are we really going to dismantle the array early?"
Luo Chen put down the letter and sighed, "The Heartless Immortal is nowhere to be found. It's better to preserve Min Longyu's strength for later use."
"However, in a direct confrontation, the enemy still has eight powerful cultivators and sixteen Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Just the high-end combat power is enough to suppress our Luo Tian Association."
Sima Huiwang compared the strength of both sides and felt an immense disparity.
She spoke softly, "Kang Dongyue has used some minor tricks outside to deceive and lure away some loose cultivators, but in the end, it's still a situation where we're surrounded by a pack of wolves."
She was stating a fact.
On one hand, the anti-Luo coalition forces were powerful, and on the other, there were loose cultivators trying to take advantage of the chaos.
With both forces combined, if the Luo Tian Association showed any sign of weakness, it would be a disastrous situation of everyone ganging up on them! This was one of the reasons why the Luo Tian Association insisted on holding their ground.
Luo Chen spoke in a low voice, "What I'm worried about is not just these things."
Sima Huiwang softly asked, "Is it that mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, Qin Tai Ran of the Flame Alliance?"
Luo Chen nodded slightly.
Qin Tai Ran, the Enforcement Elder of the Flame Alliance, had a cruel and brutal temperament.
If it was just his temperament, it wouldn't be a problem, but he also possessed the formidable cultivation of the fourth layer of the Golden Core, far surpassing Di Wan Yun's initial cultivation.
For the Luo Tian Association to pass this hurdle, it would undoubtedly require Luo Chen to take action personally.
But if Luo Chen were to make a move, that Elder Qin would likely not let him off easily.
Currently, the other party was just trying to save face, and it wasn't certain if he was still in Heavenly Wave Peak or not.
"Tao Wan said she could get an elder from the sect to intervene and protect me once. But that Elder Long is only at the second layer of the Golden Core, and he's no match for Qin Tai Ran."
"The Elder from Ailao Mountain who's watching from the sidelines has an ambiguous attitude."
"If the Heartless Immortal doesn't show up, I'll be in a dangerous situation. Even with my powerful physique from the ancient third stage, facing a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator..."
Luo Chen's heart was filled with contemplation.
In the end, under Sima Huiwang's worried gaze, he said, "Go and rest. Tomorrow, you can just command from the rear during the battle."
Sima Huiwang opened her mouth to say something, but she felt powerless.
Only then did she realize that sometimes, just managing and developing a power was not enough.
Only by having sufficient personal strength could one turn the tide! In the past, Luo Chen had always been there to shield her from the storms.
But this time, even with Luo Chen's utmost efforts, the situation still seemed incredibly difficult.
What else could she do?
There was no time when Sima Huiwang hated her own weakness more than she did now.
"If I had late-stage Foundation Establishment strength, I could share some of the pressure with him."
"Even if it was mid-stage Foundation Establishment, I could charge ahead and clear some obstacles."
"But unfortunately, I'm only at the third layer of Foundation Establishment."
Under the flickering lamplight, Sima Huiwang walked out of the Luo Tian Great Hall with a heavy heart.
Luo Chen had no time to pay attention to her, as his gaze was fixed on the water mirror in front of him, which was still maintained.
Faintly, some silhouettes could be seen appearing.
But at the higher altitudes, the figures were blurry, and their true appearances were not visible.
With a flick of his wrist, a black pearl appeared in his palm.
"A mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, huh?"
"In a life-and-death struggle, how much advantage can you gain?"
"That Ailao Mountain cultivator has a grudge against you. Will he let go of such a good opportunity?"
Muttering to himself, Luo Chen carefully placed the Thunder Immortal Pearl in the most eye-catching and easily accessible spot in his storage bag.
...
The next day, as the sky gradually brightened.
Suddenly, a loud voice rang out.
"Disperse!"
"That light curtain, disperse!"
In an instant, countless people turned their attention to Crimson Cloud Peak.
The seven-colored light curtain that had enveloped Crimson Cloud Peak for several days reluctantly descended as night turned into day.
Whoosh! A figure shot into the sky.
Zheng Xian's face was filled with joy; it was even faster than he had anticipated, taking less than the three days he had predicted.
After all, how could a small sect or faction withstand the methods of the Flame Alliance! However, the dispersion of the grand array was still too slow.
"We must not give them time to prepare!"
"Everyone, prepare to attack!"
His loud shout pierced through the clouds and mist, echoing in all directions.
At his command, teams of people emerged from the Spirit Gathering Array.
Tuobada Lingfei walked out of the camp, sighing to Xiang Zhonghe beside her, "The day we've been waiting for has finally come. It's going to be troublesome, really troublesome."
Xiang Zhonghe shook his head and smiled, "A force that the Flame Alliance's elders treat with such caution must have some real strength."
"Never mind, let's resolve this matter quickly and return to the Heavenly Fire Immortal City!"
Not far away, Song Fengzi suddenly opened his eyes.
Opposite him, two powerful cultivators were also ready to strike.
"Fellow cultivators, the annihilation of the Luo Tian Association and the acquisition of their Core Formation Secret Technique should happen today."
The two nodded slightly, "We will follow your lead. You decide how to proceed."
Song Fengzi chuckled, "It's simple. Just have the Iron Sword Hall cultivators charge ahead. We don't need to worry about casualties; at worst, we can retreat to the Medicine King Domain after success."
"Okay, I'll listen to you. But you're so carefree, it's a pity that we've just acquired the Iron Sword Hall."
In the Xiahou family's camp.
Xiahou Kun had already left the camp and was gazing at Crimson Cloud Peak.
At this moment, even with many elite Qi Condensation cultivators from the Xiahou family gathered around him, he still felt incredibly lonely.
"Only by annihilating the Luo Tian Association can we avenge our grudges!"
"Only by obtaining the Core Formation Secret Technique can our Xiahou family have a chance to rise again!"
"Otherwise, even if we return alive, Yin Xiang will no longer be a place where our Xiahou family can dwell."
"Zheng Xian..."
Taking a deep breath, Xiahou Kun adjusted his eye patch and waved his hand.
All the Qi Condensation cultivators from the Xiahou family set out.
...
Aside from the anti-Luo coalition forces' camp, the loose cultivators who had lingered also gradually noticed the commotion.
One by one, they rubbed their hands in anticipation, ready to pick up some bargains later.
Some of them even activated their sound transmission methods to inform companions who had left a few days earlier, urging them to return quickly.
Everyone knew.
This prolonged battle, which had attracted the attention of countless cultivators in the Heavenly Wave Immortal City, would come to an end today.
Would the once-prominent Luo Tian Association still dominate and wield influence in the Heavenly Wave Immortal City? Would the Zheng family, Iron Sword Hall, and Xiahou family rise to power in this opportunity?
Would the Golden Core elders disregard their dignity and personally enter the fray? All these questions would be answered today.
The only pity was.
"It's a shame that the main character, Dan Chenzi, is not present at such a grand occasion."
