Chapter 823: To make it in this world, you have to rely on wealth, you have to rely on power, and you have to use your brain

The outside world.

"It's changing!"

"It's about to emerge!"

A series of exclamations rang out across the entire Yixian City and Xiaoyang City.

Crack, crack, crack!

A sound like an eggshell shattering echoed between heaven and earth.

Everyone watched intently, only to see that the massive blood-colored cocoon now had cracks appearing on it.

Rays of even more scarlet and brilliant light burst forth from these fissures.

An increasingly dangerous aura emanated from within the blood cocoon.

Xia Hanzhou could not help but clench his hands, surging waves churning in his heart.

Blood Brand, the fifth-ranked divine artifact in the world, was about to belong to Li Zhiyi.

All the experts of Great Xia watched this scene, all revealing expressions of excitement.

"The divine artifact belongs to Great Xia; this is undoubtedly another great boost!"

Someone laughed out loud.

Chen Qi swept a glance at the crowd and looked at Xia Hanzhou again:

"Are you very happy?"

Xia Hanzhou ignored Chen Qi.

"Hahaha!" Chen Qi suddenly laughed.

This laughter came too abruptly.

"What are you laughing at?" Chen Qi shook his head slightly:

"I am laughing that you, Xia Hanzhou, are at least one of the pillars of Great Xia, so why don't you harbor any suspicions?

Or is it that the existence of something has caused you to lose your original caution and reason?"

Xia Hanzhou's brows furrowed, and his eyes suddenly turned dark.

Chen Qi looked toward where the Pool Master was, then looked at Xia Hanzhou again and said:

"If you make a move, not only will the Pool Master come, but my Lord of Chen Prefecture will also arrive.

The Five Clans are not afraid to perish together with your Great Xia..."

Boom!

A terrifying spear soul erupted from Xia Hanzhou's body.

Xia Hanzhou stared fixedly at Chen Qi with a hawk-like gaze, saying word by word:

"What exactly are you trying to say?!"

Chen Qi sneered.

But it was also at this moment.

Boom!

A heaven-shaking loud noise!

Chen Qi's pupils shrank as he looked toward where the sound came from.

Rumble!

In the south of Yixian, the earth suddenly trembled, and four pitch-black walls rose from the ground without warning, the wall surfaces gleaming with a cold, hard matte finish, reaching the sky as if cast from ink.

They closed in toward the center with the force of a thunderbolt, tightly wrapping the scarlet cocoon that exuded viscous blood light, not letting even a trace of blood color leak out.

Chen Qi's eyes widened instantly, and before he could speak, Xia Hanzhou roared first:

"Zhang Xing, what are you doing?!"

Where the black walls were, Zhang Xing roared out:

"King Xiayue, it's a trap!"

The Sky-Splitting Sun-Shooting Bow appeared in Zhang Xing's hand:

"I saw through the cracks in the blood cocoon that the Blood Brand is devouring Li Zhiyi!"

Zhang Xing's voice fell.

Xia Hanzhou's expression changed instantly, and the eyes of all the Great Xia military guards erupted with anger.

"What did you say?!" Xia Hanzhou roared, his aura having completely changed; the moment he thought of Chen Yan having a problem, he felt as if his head had been struck hard.

But that was Chen Yan.

That was definitely Chen Yan!

He could not have seen it wrong.

All his thinking was based on an underlying logic.

That was that Chen Yan was the Master of Will.

Only Chen Yan could allow his own power of will to surpass his former self.

How could Chen Yan be devoured by an artifact?

"Did you actually see it or not!" Xia Hanzhou roared.

Zhang Xing's eyes narrowed slightly; of course he hadn't seen it, but this was something that would definitely happen.

Moreover, he had to act in advance because Zhang Wang sensed that Chen Youqing's aura had changed.

Perhaps, it was about to completely merge with the scabbard.

"I saw it!" Zhang Xing roared.

"Impossible!" Xia Hanzhou immediately shouted in anger.

The fifth divine artifact under heaven is indeed powerful, but Chen Yan is an existence who did not die even when killed by a Ninth Rank!

"Absolutely impossible!" Xia Hanzhou was so furious his hair stood on end.

But the one even more furious was Chen Qi.

"Audacious scoundrel!"

Fierce light erupted from Chen Qi's turbid eyes, and he roared instantly:

"Five Clans, hear my order: exterminate Zhang Xing!"

In an instant.

Boom—!

Streaks of light flew toward Zhang Xing.

The first to shoot over were golden laser beams fired from thunder-serpent turrets.

"Hahaha!"

Zhang Xing laughed out loud, the arm gripping the pitch-black longbow suddenly tensing.

As the bowstring hummed, thousands of golden arrow-lights instantly tore through the air, pouring out like a meteor shower, the arrowheads wrapped in blinding golden light, piercing straight at the laser beams.

Boom, boom, boom!

The streaks of light collided, and countless flashes of fire erupted between heaven and earth.

Zhang Xing's robes billowed as he laughed out loud:

"Continue!"

Above the firmament, a look of shock and disbelief instantly appeared on Chen Youqing's face.

Because, under the obstruction of this pitch-black giant wall, the connection between the Blood Brand and the Blood Brand scabbard...

Was severed.

"Damn it!"

Chen Youqing roared:

"Whoever exterminates Zhang Xing shall receive a god-level precious medicine!"

Chen Youqing could not sit still for a moment; she had not expected such a turn of events to occur.

That Zhang Xing had clearly prepared in advance.

Why would he know the secret of the Blood Brand?

However, the Blood Brand must absolutely not be seized by others.

Eighth Ranks not entering the battle is the rule of the battlefield.

But...

Chen Youqing looked toward Chen Zhou in an instant, wanting the Chen Lord to speak.

Even if it meant breaking the rules, she had to obtain the Blood Brand!

The situation changed suddenly!

Xia Hanzhou's white hair billowed, and at this moment, he also roared:

"Commence battle!"

In an instant, the Xiaoyang battle line began to fight again, and countless people collided in an instant.

Shouts of killing and roars rose to the heavens.

A cold sneer appeared on the corner of Zhang Xing's mouth.

This is good!

In a moment, once he completely devours Li Zhiyi's Blood Brand, it will be his.

This King Xia Yue of the Great Xia seems incomparably witty, but just now he had already clearly stated the conspiracy of the Five Clans.

Yet this Xia Hanzhou actually came out with an "impossible."

This made Zhang Xing want to laugh.

At the same time.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

In the sky, more laser beams shot over.

Zhang Xing stepped forward with his left foot, his right leg tensed behind him in a lunge, his waist and back arched slightly backward like a fully drawn bowstring.

Bang, bang, bang!!!

The divine artifact Heaven-Splitting Sun-Shooting Bow erupted with sounds like thunder, and golden streaks of light transformed into arrows, just about to be shot out.

In an instant.

Click!

Zhang Xing's pupils shrank; the fingers pulling the bowstring suddenly could not release.

"Who is it!"

Zhang Xing roared, blue veins bulging all over his face.

He was being controlled by a force.

Sun-Radiance Grade control array disk!

This scene happened suddenly.

The next instant.

Chen Youqing, Chen Qi, Xia Hanzhou, and others instantly noticed this scene.

"Ah!"

Zhang Xing was clearly bound by a strange force; as he struggled at this moment, his face flushed red, and the blue veins on his neck looked as if they were about to burst.

"Ahhhhhhh!!!"

The next instant.

Thousands of laser beams shot over in an instant.

Boom!

A thunderous roar erupted between heaven and earth, and endless firelight spread out.

An afterimage dragging black smoke flew out from the firelight; it was the utterly disheveled Zhang Xing.

At this moment, Zhang Xing's abdomen was a bloody mess, and his eyes were gloomy to the extreme.

Chen Youqing clenched his hands tight.

Someone else is plotting!

Who is it?!

The next instant.

Click-clack, click-clack!

Strange sounds rang out from above the earth.

Everyone looked toward the ground, suddenly pierced in the eyes by flashes of light.

Only to see.

The earth suddenly lit up with patches upon patches of array disc glimmer, the runes flowing across the disc surfaces suddenly becoming incandescent.

Array discs, array discs, all of them were array discs.

Moreover, the worst among them were Bright Moon-grade Grade A control array discs.

Who is so extravagant?!

"Who is down there!"

Zhang Xing roared in a low voice, one palm just about to strike down toward the ground.

Screech!

Fire phoenixes flapped their wings and rushed out from the red-light array discs, pouncing toward Zhang Xing.

Zhang Xing was just about to slap the fire phoenixes away, but rows of earth spikes shot out from rows of cyan-glow array discs and arrived first.

The next instant.

Swish-swish, clatter-clatter!

Countless vines wrapped and coiled from green-radiance array discs, surrounding and suppressing Zhang Xing like an ocean.

"Kill!"

Endless shouts of battle rang out.

Thousands upon thousands of soldier spirits rushed out from the remaining array discs, holding blades and soaring into the air with the vines to slaughter Zhang Xing.

At this moment, Chen Youqing and Chen Qi were already looking on with ashen faces.

They had originally thought their scheme was flawless.

They never imagined that it wasn't just this Zhang Xing plotting against them.

Aside from Zhang Xing, there was actually another person.

At this moment.

Zhang Xing was already surrounded by heavy firelight, the Heaven-Splitting Sun-Shooting Bow erupting with blinding golden radiance, and as the bowstring vibrated, it shot out streaks of spiral arrow light.

Wherever the arrows passed, the fire phoenixes wailed and exploded, and the vines shattered into powder.

Boom!

One fire phoenix still slammed into Zhang Xing's body, and in an instant, Zhang Xing was set ablaze.

"Seeking death!"

Zhang Xing roared, dodging continuously in a rather disheveled state.

Clatter-clatter!!!

The radiance of rows of array discs pressed down instantly, and Zhang Xing's movements became slower and slower.

Following that, more and more bombardments arrived.

Pfft, pfft, pfft!

Even for Zhang Xing, multiple severe wounds had appeared on his physical body by now.

"Come out!"

Zhang Xing roared with disheveled hair.

He struck out with a palm, a palm print as massive as a mountain peak slamming into the earth.

Boom!

The earth caved in.

But more and more control array discs appeared, and the array-manifested objects like fire phoenixes and soldier spirits also grew more numerous, as if endless.

"Damn it!"

A fire phoenix pierced Zhang Xing's brow and eye; Zhang Xing was covered in blood, striking out with his palms frantically.

Boom, boom, boom!

His palms, wrapped in violent Qi, slammed into the earth like falling meteors, every strike causing mountain ranges to crumble and rock strata to collapse.

He's gone mad!

Zhang Xing was now striking completely without purpose, and the land for a hundred miles around began to shatter continuously.

The world was like the apocalypse.

At this moment, some people were already stunned into stupidity.

Because there were too many.

The hidden person was exposing more and more Array Discs in order to suppress and kill Zhang Xing.

It could completely compare to a great battle involving one hundred thousand people.

Wealthy.

Too wealthy.

In the distant Iron Province.

The Ji Master saw this scene, gritted her silver teeth, and her aura became unstable.

Because she was familiar with all these Array Discs.

These were the inventory of her Ji Province.

"Come out, I will definitely kill you!"

Zhang Xing roared aloud and blasted out a palm strike; the dust and smoke rolled like angry waves, and the mountain range stretching for dozens of miles turned into a deep pit amidst the rumbling.

Yet, it was also at this moment.

A figure suddenly appeared on the distant horizon, dressed in black, handsome in appearance, but with a trace of evil between the brows.

His appearance instantly drew everyone's attention.

"It really is him!"

In the land of Iron Province, the Ji Master looked as if she were about to vomit blood.

It is this person!

It was this person who, right before her eyes, stole all the treasures from her Ji Province treasury!

Chen Youqing, Chen Qi, Xia Hanzhou, and others also noticed Zhang Huizhi at this moment.

"Who is this person!" Chen Qi looked at Xia Hanzhou instantly.

Xia Hanzhou was also silent, his eyes filled with gravity.

Who the hell is this?

How could the Ji Master's illegitimate son bring out so many Ji Province treasures?

Seeing Zhang Huizhi's appearance, Zhang Xing's eyes were already filled with killing intent.

"It's you!"

Screech!

A Fire Phoenix attacked, and Zhang Xing punched it away, but he was invaded by the firelight and looked extremely disheveled.

"What are you squawking about?"

High above in the firmament, Zhang Huizhi walked leisurely, a wicked smile on the corners of his mouth:

"To get by in this world, you have to rely on financial power, rely on influence, and use your brain!"

Zhang Xing's expression had turned cold to the extreme, and the next instant, he charged toward Zhang Huizhi.

"Idiot!"

Zhang Huizhi sneered, waving his arms repeatedly, and hundreds of streaks of light flew out from his sleeves one after another.

Sun-level and Moon-level Array Discs poured down like a rainstorm, unfolding complex runes in mid-air.

They instantly formed endless phenomena, pressing down toward Zhang Xing.

Zhang Xing's body, flying in mid-air, suddenly stalled, and seeing this scene, he finally could not hold back:

"Is there no end to this!"

Zhang Huizhi smiled faintly:

"An idiot who has never seen the world, this is only... the beginning."

He smiled faintly, and in the incredulous gaze of everyone, he tossed out hundreds more Array Discs.

Each one could be treated as a clan-protecting treasure for families like the Gong family or the Luo Chen family.

Yet now, they were being scattered by Zhang Huizhi as if they were worthless.

Even Chen Qi watched in silence.

Looking at the boundless phenomena transformed by the Array Discs, Zhang Xing instantly roared in panic toward Shen Yiwei and the others:

"Come and save me quickly!"
