Chapter 625: Arriving at the Array Department

Hearing the words of the Out-of-Boundary Cultivator leader, Wang Jianqiang's expression turned cold.

"Insulting people, are you? And with such filth?"

The Out-of-Boundary Cultivator leader was stunned, failing to react in time.

Just at this moment.

Wang Jianqiang waved his palm.

Small flags flew out one after another, vanishing into the void.

This patch of heaven and earth trembled.

A strange power rapidly permeated the area.

The expressions of all the Out-of-Boundary Cultivators changed in unison.

Their cultivation bases had actually all been suppressed, dropping by one First-tier simultaneously!

Sixth-Order Will Stage dropped to Fifth-Order Will Stage.

Seventh-Order Will Stage dropped to Sixth-Order Will Stage.

Eighth-Order Will Stage dropped to Seventh-Order Will Stage.

Even when they unleashed Intent Power to resist, they were unable to neutralize it.

"A Four-tier Advanced Array, yet its power far exceeds the Four-tier category; you really are Ye Lingyun!"

The leading Out-of-Boundary Cultivator looked at Wang Jianqiang, the killing intent in their eyes instantly intensifying to the extreme.

"Do you really think that by suppressing our cultivation, you can stop us?"

"Kill!"

As their icy voice fell.

More than a dozen figures behind them charged toward Wang Jianqiang and the others simultaneously.

"Kill!"

Seeing the Out-of-Boundary Cultivators make their move, everyone rushed to meet them.

In the blink of an eye.

A great battle erupted.

Except for Wang Jianqiang and the Out-of-Boundary Cultivator leader, everyone joined the fight.

Wang Jianqiang crossed his arms, watching the battle all around.

His expression did not change in the slightest.

On the other side.

The Out-of-Boundary Cultivator leader's expression gradually turned ugly as the battle continued.

They discovered.

Their companions were actually being firmly suppressed!

That Ninth-Order Will Stage woman had extremely fierce combat power.

Fighting four Seventh-Order Will Stage cultivators who possessed Intent Power single-handedly, she did not fall into the slightest disadvantage.

Although this was thanks to the assistance of the Array.

The opponent's combat power still made them feel somewhat incredulous.

Besides that.

Those women, who were beautiful beyond belief, also had incredibly exaggerated combat power.

Although their cultivation bases were only Sixth-Order Will Stage and Seventh-Order Will Stage, their combat power far exceeded their own levels.

Especially one who possessed a strange clone ability, one carrying a long sword on her back, one possessing Fox Clan bloodline, one capable of controlling gravity, and one with golden hair and golden eyes.

The combat power of these five women was particularly exaggerated.

Those companions who were originally Sixth-Order Will Stage and had dropped to Fifth-Order Will Stage under the suppression of the Great Formation.

Even though they had pushed their Intent Power to the extreme, they had little power to fight back against these five.

Their brow immediately furrowed.

What kind of dumb luck did this Ye Lingyun have?

To have gathered so many heaven-gifted beauties capable of fighting above their level by their side.

If this continued.

It would not be long before their companions were all slaughtered.

"I underestimated these people."

Their expression was gloomy.

Their gaze shifted, landing on Wang Jianqiang.

A flash of intense killing intent crossed their eyes.

This Ye Lingyun must die.

To be safe, they had to kill them first.

Then go to support their companions and slaughter Ye Lingyun's companions!

Thinking of this.

Their figure flickered.

They charged directly toward Wang Jianqiang.

The women and Mo Wuming and the others were very clear about Wang Jianqiang's strength, and upon seeing this scene, their expressions did not change in the slightest.

Su Chao and Feng Yichen felt their hearts tighten simultaneously upon seeing this.

The five Spirit Transformation Stage cultivators who had damaged their own cultivation bases were even more shocked.

"Daoist Friend Wang, be careful!"

They gritted their teeth, braving the consequences of taking the enemy's attacks head-on, and forcibly broke free from their opponents to block in front of Wang Jianqiang.

The next moment.

The Out-of-Boundary Cultivator leader flew over.

As he approached.

A wave of Darkness Power instantly enveloped the five people.

This Darkness Power could not only obscure vision but could also block Spirit Sense.

The five people instantly lost all perception of the outside world, spinning around in that area like headless flies.

Unable to walk out.

The Out-of-Boundary Cultivator leader sneered.

He did not go near the five people.

Although his Darkness Will Realm could block the five senses of those five people to the greatest extent.

But his cultivation base was suppressed after all.

It was somewhat unlikely to kill these four people in a short time.

Rather than that.

It would be better to deal with that Ye Lingyun first.

He drove his Darkness Will Realm to the limit.

The Darkness Power spread rapidly, like a large dark mouth; in the blink of an eye, the area where Wang Jianqiang was located was swallowed in one gulp.

Wang Jianqiang's vision went black, as if he had become blind.

Although his Spirit Sense could spread out normally, it could only perceive a patch of darkness.

A look of panic appeared on his face.

Seeing this, the Out-of-Boundary Cultivator leader had a sneer rise on his face.

He bypassed the obstruction of the five people and merged his body into the darkness.

He approached Wang Jianqiang silently.

He circled behind Wang Jianqiang.

He struck a palm toward Wang Jianqiang.

A mocking expression appeared at the corners of his mouth.

That an Array Master could actually cultivate to the Eighth-Order Will Stage was indeed somewhat beyond his expectations.

But compared to him, it was still too immature.

He had originally thought that killing this Ye Lingyun would require some effort.

Now it seemed he had overestimated him too much.

But thinking about it, that made sense.

The Array Path was so energy-consuming; for this child to have reached the Eighth-Order Will Stage in cultivation while practicing the Array Path was already very astonishing.

If his combat power could still keep up with cultivators of the same level, that would be too monstrous.

It was normal for him to be weaker.

Just the moment the sneer on his face began to spread.

Slap!

His wrist suddenly tightened, and the palm he was striking forward was grabbed firmly, unable to advance an inch.

Immediately following.

A faint voice reached his ears.

"Want to play hide-and-seek with Wang?"

"Are you thinking a bit too much?"

Hearing this voice, his expression stiffened.

He focused his gaze.

Then he saw a pair of eyes glowing with a golden luster.

The Out-of-Boundary Cultivator leader was shocked.

This guy possessed a peculiar Pupil Technique that could see through his Darkness Will Realm!

Thinking of this, he moved his intent.

The surrounding darkness suddenly squeezed toward Wang Jianqiang like flowing water.

Feeling the squeezing force constantly attacking from all sides, Wang Jianqiang frowned.

The Golden Light on his body instantly became dazzling.

Powerful physical strength erupted, forcefully resisting the oppression of the darkness.

Clang!

The next moment.

A sound of metal clashing suddenly rang out.

Wang Jianqiang raised his eyebrows and looked at his chest.

In the darkness.

A sharp blade formed from Darkness Power was pressing against his chest.

Because the blade was perfectly fused with the darkness, he would have been unable to discover it if not for his Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze.

"This..."

"You actually blocked my attack with just your physical body!"

The Out-of-Boundary Cultivator leader was greatly shocked.

Wang Jianqiang looked toward him, a flash of killing intent crossing his eyes.

This person's Darkness Will Realm was incomparably strange and impossible to guard against.

If it were not for him.

If it were anyone else present facing this person, they would certainly have been struck.

Even.

If one did not consider the consumption of power.

This person, relying on his own strength alone, could likely hunt down and kill everyone else present except for him!

This person was too dangerous; he must absolutely not be allowed to leave alive!

Thinking this, he grabbed the opponent's palm and squeezed hard.

Crack!

A sound of bone fracturing came from the Out-of-Boundary Cultivator leader's wrist.

At the same time, Wang Jianqiang's other hand formed a fist and smashed out.

Boom~

Before the fist could land on the opponent, a barrier seemed to suddenly appear in the darkness, blocking his punch.

At the same time.

Wang Jianqiang faintly sensed a vast aura of sharpness attacking from all around.

He subconsciously focused his mind to look.

Then he discovered.

Within the darkness, it was unknown when dense swarms of Darkness Power arrows had appeared.

At this moment.

Countless arrows were flying toward him.

He frowned.

He flung the Out-of-Boundary Cultivator leader away.

The Out-of-Boundary Cultivator leader had just flown out a few zhang, not yet having touched the Darkness Power arrows, when he suddenly merged into the darkness and disappeared.

Wang Jianqiang raised an eyebrow.

With a thought.

Five-Colored Spiritual Power surged forth, transforming into an ornate suit of armor on his body, covering his entire form.

A heavy aura permeated the armor.

Ding ding ding ding~~

The dense swarms of Darkness Power arrows were hidden by the cover of the darkness aura and could not be detected.

Only a series of dense collision sounds like raindrops rang out as those Darkness Power arrows landed on Wang Jianqiang.

A moment later.

The collision sounds ceased.

Wang Jianqiang's figure shook, and the armor on his body instantly turned into flowing water, gathering in front of him into a Soul Spear.

"Go~"

Following the word spat out from Wang Jianqiang's mouth.

The Soul Spear shot out.

Along its path.

The Darkness Will Realm was pierced through, and light from the outside permeated in, forming a long trail of light.

Puchi!

In the darkness.

A spray of blood suddenly splashed out.

The Out-of-Boundary Cultivator leader's figure manifested.

It was just that at this moment, there was a hideous, gaping wound through his chest.

The vitality of his physical body was completely dissipated.

Just as his physical body was falling toward the ground.

A flash of Spirit Light.

A palm-sized Nascent Soul flashed out, its face full of horror and disbelief.

"Impossible, I used a Secret Technique to stack the Darkness Will Realm; even a Spirit Transformation Stage Cultivator who practices top-tier Pupil Technique would find it hard to detect."

"Why could you locate my hiding place so easily!"

Wang Jianqiang smiled and took a step forward.

His figure suddenly vanished.

The Out-of-Boundary Cultivator leader's expression changed, and he hurriedly fled.

However.

Just as his Nascent Soul turned around, a palm suddenly appeared.

It gripped him tightly within its palm.

Before he could react.

Golden Light flared on the palm, and it squeezed fiercely.

He let out a miserable shriek, his Nascent Soul body instantly suffering heavy damage.

Immediately following.

A series of Restrictions landed upon his Nascent Soul body.

Everything went black before his eyes, and his consciousness vanished completely.

Outside.

The great battle was still continuing.

Xiao Keke was fighting four opponents alone; not only was she not injured in the slightest, but she had actually heavily wounded all four Seventh-Order Will Stage cultivators who were affected by the Array.

By now.

The four of them could only struggle to hold on, retreating steadily.

In other directions.

Under the leadership of Mu Lingxi, Liu Qing'er, Tu Shan Youyou, Qingcheng, and Nangong Yu, the group had also gained the upper hand across the board.

At this moment, more than half of the Out-of-Boundary Cultivators had already fallen.

The battle had already fallen into a one-sided state.

If it were not for the hope they still held for their leader, these Out-of-Boundary Cultivators would likely have begun to flee long ago.

"The leader has killed that Ye Lingyun!"

Just at this moment, a voice filled with surprise suddenly rang out.

All the Out-of-Boundary Cultivators looked simultaneously toward that area shrouded in Darkness Power.

Mu Lingxi and the others pulled back, also looking toward that area.

Under the gaze of the crowd.

The darkness slowly dissipated.

In just a short moment.

That area shrouded in darkness was completely restored.

Revealing the six figures that had been shrouded by the darkness.

Seeing these six figures, the Out-of-Boundary Cultivators were stunned.

Then, their gazes fell upon one of them, and their expressions changed drastically all at once.

Ye Lingyun!

He actually hadn't died!

Where was the leader?

They searched for a moment, then saw a corpse that had already lost its life force at the feet of Wang Jianqiang.

Immediately, they all revealed expressions of disbelief.

The leader had fallen!

How could this be possible?

The leader's Artistic Conception was the extremely rare Darkness Will Realm.

It was eerie and powerful.

Before shattering his own Nascent Soul, although he was at the Spirit Transformation Late Stage, his true strength could even rival an ordinary Spirit Transformation Stage Perfection cultivator.

He was a genius capable of fighting above his level.

Although his cultivation had fallen now, relying on this powerful Darkness Power, his strength could still rival an ordinary Transformation Stage cultivator.

How could he possibly die at the hands of a mere Nascent Soul Stage cultivator!

At the same time.

Those five cultivators sent by Nian Qinghe, Su Chao, and Feng Yichen also revealed expressions of amazement.

They only knew that Wang Jianqiang had astonishing talent in alchemy.

They never expected his combat power to be this exaggerated!

Was he even human?

However, the women, along with Mo Wuming, Bai Wuqing, and Nancheng Kong, had long since grown accustomed to Wang Jianqiang's monstrous nature.

They had no reaction to this at all.

They were also the first among the group to come back to their senses.

"Kill!"

Following a low shout from Mu Lingxi, the group attacked the Out-of-Boundary Cultivators once more.

Those Out-of-Boundary Cultivators were suddenly jolted awake.

With the fall of their leader, they had completely lost their will to fight.

They were single-mindedly trying to escape.

Because of this, their combat effectiveness was even more pathetic.

In an instant, they were beaten into a state of total collapse.

It didn't even require Wang Jianqiang to take action.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the group had slaughtered all of these Out-of-Boundary Cultivators.

Wang Jianqiang collected the Nascent Souls seized from the others, looked at the faintly visible Array Department courtyard, and waved his hand.

"Let's go."

A moment later.

The group arrived outside the Array Department.

A layer of light curtain was shrouding the sky above the Array Department.

Through the light curtain, one could see inside.

Many figures were standing in the main courtyard of the Array Department.

Among them were members of the City Defense Army, as well as Array Masters from the Array Department.

Upon seeing someone appear outside the Array Department, the people within the Array Department clearly became nervous.

Immediately following.

When they saw Wang Jianqiang.

Their originally nervous expressions suddenly froze, and then they revealed looks of surprise and joy.

Wang Jianqiang had once publicly practiced Alchemy in Wenxian City.

Almost every Cultivator in the entire Wenxian City had asked him for help with Alchemy, so how could they not recognize him?

They recognized him at a single glance.

"Master Wang!"

"It's Master Wang!"

"Quickly withdraw the Array and let Master Wang in."

Just as exclamations were ringing out from the crowd, an excited voice suddenly came from behind the crowd.

Before the voice had even faded.

An old man had already walked out from the crowd in excitement.

The old man was none other than the person in charge of the Array Department, Mu Lao.

Others only knew that Wang Jianqiang was a brilliant Alchemist.

But Mu Lao knew very well that compared to Alchemy, Wang Jianqiang's attainments in the Array Path were equally astonishing.

Now, the Wenxian City Protective Array was severely damaged.

Wang Jianqiang coming here must be to repair the City Protection Array.

The others in the Array Department naturally recognized Wang Jianqiang as well.

Like Mu Lao, they all revealed looks of excitement.

They immediately opened the Array.
