Chapter 699: Breaking the Yinhuai Confusion Array with an Axe
September 25, 2017
Lu HaiKong's tolerance, combined with his own terrifying strength and status, led the Qin people to choose a temporary retreat, averting a war that neither side particularly wanted.
In this situation, where both sides had their concerns and made compromises, Lu HaiKong was aware that the Qin people were still monitoring his team, but he chose to turn a blind eye.
After the Qin people retreated, Lu HaiKong ordered the members of the Black Wind Legion to set up camp nearby, and then he directly plunged into the Yinhuai Confusion Array.
Although the current situation was somewhat complex, for Lu HaiKong, whether it was the night raid on the Qin people or their covetousness, none of it compared to the importance of his trusted aides Li Xiong and Zhao Er. At this moment, the most pressing task was to conquer the Yinhuai Confusion Array before him.
Lu HaiKong had a vague premonition that Li Xiong might be inside this Yinhuai Confusion Array.
Since Lu HaiKong entered the Confusion Array alone, and the members of the Black Wind Legion were camping about a hundred meters away from it, his approach to the Array was quite noticeable. Those secretly monitoring nearby were well aware of the strangeness of this Yinhuai Confusion Array.
They knew that once someone entered this place, it was extremely difficult to get out. Out of ten people who entered, only five might manage to escape, and even then, they would emerge thinner than before and usually wouldn't survive for long.
The Qin people referred to this area as a ghost land and considered it one of the forbidden places in Wind Spirit Valley.
When they saw Lu HaiKong plunge into the Yinhuai Confusion Array, the monitoring Qin people, after their initial shock, immediately relayed this news back.
Lu HaiKong was unaware of the Qin people's reaction to seeing him enter the Array. At this moment, he didn't have the time to worry about such things. After entering, he immediately felt a chill of negative energy wash over him.
Even though it was just past noon, and the sun's rays were intense, within the Array, Lu HaiKong couldn't feel any warmth at all. Instead, he felt a chill that seemed to emanate from his very bones.
"Such strong negative energy. If Moonshadow were here, she'd be in her element," Lu HaiKong remarked as the system notification appeared.
[You have entered the Yinhuai Confusion Array!]
As the system notification sounded, Lu HaiKong hadn't had the chance to properly observe his surroundings when a mist began to envelop the area.
The mist seemed to appear out of thin air, starting as thin as silk but quickly thickening. Within a short time, Lu HaiKong was surrounded by a white haze, unable to see his fingers in front of his face.
In this situation, Lu HaiKong quickly turned back, wanting to test if he could exit from the direction he had entered.
Lu HaiKong had deliberately controlled his movements, and he hadn't ventured far into the Array, only about ten meters or so. Logically, it should have been easy for him to leave, a simple task.
However, after retreating several dozen meters, Lu HaiKong still didn't find himself outside the Array. At this point, he realized that he had unknowingly lost his sense of direction.
"Is this the power of the Yinhuai Confusion Array? Interesting!"
Far from being nervous about the situation, Lu HaiKong's lips curled into a smile, full of curiosity. He wanted to see just how capable this so-called Yinhuai Confusion Array was.
"This Yinhuai Confusion Array is formed by these Yinhuai trees. Does that mean that if I cut down all these trees, I can destroy the Array?"
Lu HaiKong, this wild fellow, had the Celestial Eye Technique at his disposal, but in this situation, his first instinct was to use the most violent solution.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu HaiKong sprang into action, swinging the Savage Axe in his hand and starting to chop down trees like a lumberjack within the Confusion Array.
To be honest, the Yinhuai trees were very close to each other, with the furthest apart being no more than two meters, and the closest being less than one meter. In such an environment, it wasn't easy for Lu HaiKong to fully extend his arms, and he couldn't exert his full strength.
But who was Lu HaiKong? With his incredible strength, even if he couldn't fully unleash his power, it wasn't a problem. His casual swings, combined with the legendary-level Savage Axe, still produced astonishing power. Cutting down these Yinhuai trees should be a simple task.
However, what Lu HaiKong did not expect was that these Yinhuai trees were even harder than he had anticipated. When he swung his axe onto the Yinhuai tree, Lu HaiKong even felt as if he were chopping into an iron block.
Despite their hardness, Lu HaiKong was not at all hindered. Even with the astonishing nature of these Yinhuai trees, he was still able to take them down.
With Lu HaiKong exerting all his strength, it took only about ten minutes to successfully chop down a tree that required two people to encircle with their arms.
This should have been a delightful sight, but as he felled the tree, Lu HaiKong felt something was amiss.
He couldn't pinpoint what exactly was wrong, but he had a distinct sense of discord, a very faint one.
This feeling of discord made Lu HaiKong stop his initial plan to continue chopping and, without hesitation, he closed and opened his eyes, using his ultimate technique.
Celestial Detection
As Lu HaiKong let out a soft cry, his eyes suddenly opened, and in that instant, they seemed to absorb all the light in the world.
His vision transformed, no longer the hazy white fog nor the original scene before the fog rose, the Yinhuai Confusion Array, but a realm composed of colorful lights, a fantastical sight.
This fantastical realm was not something Lu HaiKong saw every time he used Celestial Detection, but he was not unfamiliar with it either. At the very least, it always appeared when used in the mysterious cottage, and occasionally in the real world.
So, Lu HaiKong was somewhat familiar with this fantastical realm.
However, what surprised Lu HaiKong was that this fantastical realm, which usually didn't last long and sometimes appeared blurry, was now exceptionally clear in front of him. He could even see the finest of light lines.
In the 1691 book, there is no error!
At this moment, Lu HaiKong also felt that this realm could persist for thirty minutes.
This was an experience Lu HaiKong had never had before. Clearly, with repeated use, his Celestial Eye Technique had improved significantly, leading to this breakthrough.
This breakthrough was a wonderful thing for Lu HaiKong.
He didn't pay attention to whether his Celestial Eye Technique had leveled up, gained new functions, or had any other issues. All his focus was on the fantastical realm before him.
Even though the scenery was new to him, Lu HaiKong's body instinctively moved.
Following a peculiar light line, Lu HaiKong kept charging forward, moving at an unbelievable speed with all his might.
Even in this crisscrossing forest, Lu HaiKong's speed effortlessly maintained a sub-second 100-meter sprint.
As he charged forward, the fantastical realm's colors seemed to stretch infinitely, and the scenery became even more beautiful. Lu HaiKong felt as if he were in a magical fairy tale world.
However, Lu HaiKong had no desire to linger. At this moment, he followed the exquisite line ahead.
As he moved forward, Lu HaiKong's grip on the Savage Axe tightened. He knew that not far ahead was something that required his full strength.
Indeed, after charging at full speed for ten minutes, the intertwined colors in front of Lu HaiKong disappeared in large patches, revealing a space of several hundred square meters almost entirely white.
In the center of this space, Lu HaiKong saw a black light resembling a heart.
This black heart-like light was surrounded by countless other lights, but strangely, they couldn't conceal the black heart's radiance.
As Lu HaiKong saw this black heart's light, he immediately realized that it was the array's core, the Yinhuai Confusion Array's eye.
Without hesitation, Lu HaiKong unleashed his full power in that instant.
Purple Aura from the East Savage Force Dragon Force Mountain Splitting Axe
A purple light burst forth, and Lu HaiKong's Savage Axe smashed into the black heart's light.
Instantly, a crisp cracking sound echoed, and Lu HaiKong clearly saw a crack appear on the black heart, quickly spreading to cover the entire heart in a matter of seconds.
Then, the black heart exploded.
At that moment, a system notification sounded, and Lu HaiKong's eyes flickered as if absorbing energy.
