Chapter 402: Whoever wins, we help them; the array is broken, the people are dead, we fight for our lives

The first day of the anti-Luo army's attack ended with the Luo Tian Society's array master, Elder Min Longyu, displaying great might and beheading ten Foundation Establishment cultivators.

They had arrived with aggressive momentum, but the result was heavy losses.

This situation left the Tianlan cultivators in an uproar.

Amidst the clamor, watching the Zheng family set up a large-scale spirit-gathering array, many guessed their intentions.

Before the array was completely broken, Zheng Xian and the others dared not step into Danxia Peak at all.

To destroy the Luo Tian Society, they first had to break the array.

And now, setting up a large-scale spirit-gathering array clearly meant that since a direct assault had failed, they were preparing for a protracted war of attrition.

This combat strategy also fit the stereotypical impression cultivators had of duels between major powers in the cultivation world.

There was no such thing as achieving success in one stroke; there was only planning slowly.

Back then, the Min family of Danxia had also been worn down for a full year before the enemy dared to kill their way in completely.

Now, it was merely history repeating itself.

That was fine too!

At the very least, they could watch the show for a while longer.

And among them, some quick-witted individuals faintly discovered an opportunity within it.

Within the crowd, a strange old man pretended to be unintentional as he whispered to the person beside him: "I saw Wei Bufan of Mount Xuchen fall into that Colorful Clouds Array earlier."

"Indeed, Fellow Daoist, were you on good terms with him?"

"Hehe... I mean, Mount Xuchen only had Wei Bufan as a Foundation Establishment True Person. Now that he is dead, doesn't that mean Mount Xuchen has lost its pillar of support?"

"Uh..."

"This old man is off!"

After a brief conversation, the old man carefully left the crowd; his friend hesitated for a moment before hurriedly following.

Such a scene appeared secret.

But how sharp were the spiritual senses of cultivators!

The two of them had not been communicating via spiritual sense, but by word of mouth.

Therefore, quite a few people had overheard them.

For a time, there was a small commotion among the onlookers.

Among the batch of Foundation Establishment True Persons who had fallen earlier, it wasn't just the Wei family of Mount Xuchen!

Black Leopard Mountain, Changliu Gorge, the Feathering Gate, the Tan family...

At this moment, they were all leaderless!

Even if some forces still had one or two Foundation Establishment True Persons left, a few rogue cultivators calling on friends and companions could always scrape together a decent small squad.

They might not be able to storm cities or seize strongholds, but picking up scraps was never a problem.

Not even half a day had passed.

One-third of the onlookers had already left, each heading toward their own targets.

Such unusual movements naturally fell into the eyes of many interested parties.

When Luo Feng, who was hiding his tracks, saw the old man who had deliberately whispered earlier—but was actually plotting loudly—return, a mocking expression appeared on his face.

Beside him, the Chen family female cultivator from the Heavenly Garment Workshop, Chen Xiuli, felt curious seeing this expression.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, do you know that old man at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment?"

"Naturally, I do!"

Luo Feng quietly transmitted his voice via spiritual sense; with their late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, they didn't need to worry about being eavesdropped on.

He smiled: "That person is the head of the Kang family from Taishan Market, Kang Dongyue! Years ago, I had met him a few times. It is said that his ancestors had some connection with the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect."

Taishan Market, Kang Dongyue?

Chen Xiuli frowned slightly; that was a fairly remote market.

Moreover, it was extremely far from Tianlan Xiancheng, and the neighboring sects were the Luoyun Sect and the Yan Alliance, so why had the family head run to Tianlan?

And, those words just now...

"It seems this Fellow Daoist Kang has completely boarded the Luo Tian Society's ship and is helping them share the external pressure!" Luo Feng sighed.

Chen Xiuli was puzzled: "Since they are vassals of the Sword Sect, why not help the Yan Alliance instead of the Luo Tian Society?"

"What can the Sword Sect vassals give them?" Luo Feng asked in return.

Without waiting for her to answer, he continued: "But the Luo Tian Society has a real, tangible interest relationship with them. The Kang family's Gold-Quality Jade Liquid has been selling well in Tianlan these years, and the Luo Tian Society deserves much of the credit."

Chen Xiuli still didn't quite understand.

Even if there were business dealings, they shouldn't ignore their own backer!

She didn't know that between Luo Chen and Kang Dongyue, besides business dealings, there was also a life-saving grace involved.

Back then, when Kang Xianqiong came to Tianlan to buy medicine to treat her grandfather, it was thanks to Luo Chen that she successfully bid for the third-grade healing spirit medicine at the Tianlan auction.

This time, Kang Dongyue had come alone, without bringing any Kang family cultivators, which indicated it was his personal action.

Shaking her head, Chen Xiuli cast this doubt to the back of her mind and looked toward the high mountain being attacked in turns.

"Are we going to help the Luo Tian Society?"

This question made Luo Feng feel a bit troubled for a moment.

Several months ago, they had met with the Luo Tian Society's president, Sima Hui Niang.

At that time, the other party had asked them to take action to resist the great enemy, but they had stalled and given no direct answer.

Now, the thing the other party feared had truly happened.

It was time for them to make a decision.

Luo Feng suddenly asked: "Fellow Daoist Chen, who do you want to win?"

Chen Xiuli smiled slightly: "That would naturally be the Luo Tian Society. The various spirit silkworms they raise in their sect have already reached a considerable scale and are one of our Heavenly Garment Workshop's important raw material suppliers. If they were truly destroyed, my Chen family's current business would shrink by at least twenty percent."

The magic clothing business was far easier to conduct than the magic tool business!

In this day and age, defensive magic tools and treasures were hard to come by, so magic clothing with simple defensive attributes naturally became the undisputed choice among cultivators.

It could even be said that even if one had defensive items, no one would be stingy about buying one or two pieces of magic clothing.

Even Luo Chen, after arriving in Tianlan back then, had spent a large sum of money to purchase a top-grade Fire Cloud Daoist Robe from the Heavenly Garment Workshop.

Later, after Gu Caiyi reached Foundation Establishment, she also personally bought him a brocade white long robe.

In between, Luo Chen had also bought a piece of magic clothing for Sima Hui Niang.

And this was just for three people.

Spread across the entire cultivation world, from Nascent Soul and Core Formation down to Qi Refining cultivators, the magic clothing business was almost omnipresent!

Chen Xiuli asked in return: "Then what about you, Fellow Daoist Luo? Your Luo Sha Market also has business connections with the Luo Tian Society, right!"

"Who do I hope wins?"

Luo Feng gave a mocking laugh.

"I naturally hope the Luo Tian Society wins, but not for the sake of business; the business with the Luo Tian Society is merely a small part of my Luo Sha Market."

"Oh, then why?" Chen Xiuli was puzzled.

Luo Feng pursed his lips, indicating a direction.

The woman looked over and saw from afar the one-eyed man surrounded by several Foundation Establishment True Persons of the Xia Hou family.

She instantly understood.

The Silver Gorge Xia Hou family!

These were the Luo family's old rivals; years ago, because of a small mineral vein, they had fought fiercely and forged a deep, bitter hatred.

In recent years, they had fought several more times.

Even that eye of Xia Hou Kun's had been forcibly blinded by Luo Feng leading people to set an ambush.

If one were to ask who wanted the Xia Hou family to die the most, it would certainly be the Luo family.

After understanding, Chen Xiuli immediately asked: "Since we both hope the Luo Tian Society wins, when shall we take action to help?"

"Help?"

Luo Feng shook his head again.

"Let's put aside private grudges and old grievances for now!"

"This time, our two families joining forces is not to assist the Luo Tian Society."

"When the time comes, whoever wins, we help them!"

Chen Xiuli was puzzled: "If the Yan Alliance vassals win, how can we help? I'm afraid they won't appreciate it!"

Luo Feng said confidently: "Why would we need their appreciation? When the time comes, you and I will join forces, lead our men to charge up the mountain, grab the spirit silkworm resources your Chen family needs and the things I want, and then retreat leisurely—wouldn't that be fine?"

Chen Xiuli opened her mouth, speechless for a moment.

Indeed.

This was also a way to recoup the losses their businesses would suffer after the Luo Tian Society's destruction.

It was just that this appeared a bit treacherous.

For the Chen family, which had always believed in harmony bringing wealth, it was a bit hard to accept.

Seeing her struggling, Luo Feng laughed freely: "Of course, if the Luo Tian Society shows signs of victory, we can also add flowers to the brocade, do the favor of pushing the boat along, and help them!"

So, it still returned to that statement.

Whoever wins, help them!

It wasn't just the Chen and Luo families who had such thoughts.

At this moment, there were quite a few Luo Tian Society allies mixed in among the rogue cultivator crowd.

There were weak female cultivators whispering to old men beside them.

There were those with sword-like brows and bright eyes, their sharpness exposed, looking toward Danxia from afar with tangled expressions.

There were also resolute female cultivators who tried to take action but were called over by Yin Yuehua of the Ice Fortress and ordered to remain still.

Over these years.

The Luo Tian Society had developed crazily in Tianlan Xiancheng, offending many opponents and enemies, but they had made even more business partners and friendly allies.

Among them were some existences that even Luo Chen himself didn't quite recognize.

But under Sima Hui Niang's contact over the past few months, they had all gathered nearby.

Because of various reasons—interests, favors, opportunities... these people were all waiting!

Waiting for a turning point that would distinguish victory from defeat.

By then, some might disregard everything and choose to help, while others might defect and take away what they sought.

Everything depended on the direction of this battle!

Boom!

A deafening roar sounded once again.

That was five hundred Qi Refining cultivators, cooperating with five Foundation Establishment True Persons, jointly releasing a large-scale magic spell.

If it were usual times, such a vast and atmospheric attack would inevitably draw many gasps.

But these days, everyone was already tired of watching it.

It could even be said that some people were no longer optimistic about the anti-Luo army.

"It's already been five days!"

"The Luo Tian Society is holding firm and not coming out, and Zheng Xian and these great cultivators still can't take down the Danxia Array; I'm afraid the incident of the Min family being besieged for a year back then will happen again."

"But the Luo Tian Society isn't some isolated party; they have the Ice Fortress's Jueqing lineage behind them. If this drags on, the Ice Fortress will never sit idly by."

"Tsk tsk, when that time comes, it will be Zheng Xian and the others' turn to suffer."

Amidst the waves of discussion.

Zheng Xian, who was looked down upon by everyone, also had a gloomy expression on his face at this moment.

Watching the five hundred Qi Refining cultivators return to the spirit-gathering array and begin to meditate and regulate their breath.

He muttered: "We can't drag this out any longer!"

The longer it dragged on, the harder it would be for the Yan Alliance to regain the face they had lost.

If they really waited for people from the Ice Fortress to arrive, this hastily assembled coalition army of theirs would likely suffer greatly.

By then, the Yan Alliance's Core Formation True Persons might not necessarily come forward to protect him.

In the end, he wasn't a Yan Alliance disciple, just an abandoned one.

But an abandoned disciple didn't want to become an abandoned pawn!

Beside him, Xia Hou Kun also had an anxious expression.

Over these days, he had already received news about the Wei family of Mount Xuchen and the Chang family of Changliu Gorge.

Some rogue cultivators were taking advantage of the fire to loot and killing their way up to the sect gates.

After burning, killing, and looting, they left leisurely.

They didn't care at all about the relationship these families had with them.

Now, the longer it dragged on, the more unfavorable it was for his Xia Hou family as well.

He came to Zheng Xian's side: "Fellow Daoist, if you have any means, it's time to bring them out!"

Zheng Xian naturally had means, but his gaze swept over the other few great cultivators.

Song Fengzi smiled slightly: "It's dragged on for too long; I have an item that can release a full-strength strike from a Core Formation True Person. Why not let me go first?"

For the sake of the Core Formation secret technique, he was going all out!

Zheng Xian showed a satisfied expression: "Since that's the case, let no one hide their private means; everyone prepare your methods!"

"Within these few days, we must break the array and kill our way up to Danxia Peak!"

The peak of Danxia.

The stone house door was pushed open, and a man and a woman walked in.

"Master!"

"Master!"

Elder Min Longyu, whose face was slightly pale, opened his eyes: "How is the situation with the array?"

His two disciples immediately replied: "Under our inspection, the array base is severely damaged, and the spirit stones are being consumed excessively."

This was bad news.

The array was not naturally generated.

It involved too many things.

Array pattern engraving, array base construction, the trend of mountains and earth veins, and even the driving of energy sources, etc.

He had used great means to bury twenty-one magic treasure flying swords as items to suppress the array base.

But such means could only suppress and intercept a fraction of the sword intent within them.

With his strength, he naturally couldn't drive those twenty-one flying swords.

If the array base were destroyed, under the chain reaction, these magic treasure flying swords would instead affect his control of the great array.

"What does Hall Master Duan Feng say?" he asked again.

The two disciples looked at each other, and the male disciple whispered: "The senior brothers from the Casting Hall are already doing their utmost to help repair the array. But Hall Master Duan said that relying on the materials the Luo Tian Society has accumulated over these years, it can maintain it for at most four more days."

Four days...

Elder Min Longyu muttered this time, his gaze sweeping over the spirit stone powder that was full of gray-white dust beneath him, a worried expression appearing in his eyes.

The crisis didn't just come from within.

There was also the outside world!

He could perceive that recently, the spirit energy the Colorful Danxia Array was extracting and plundering from heaven and earth was becoming less and less.

So much so that it had to rely on the spirit stones accumulated by the Luo Tian Society to maintain the array's operation.

The appearance of this situation should be related to the anti-Luo coalition army forcibly setting up a third-grade spirit-gathering array outside.

The other party wasn't just consuming the Luo Tian Society's foundation; they were also performing that act of draining the pond to catch the fish!

Was he too arrogant?

The ten-day period he had mentioned earlier was ultimately unreachable.

Just at this moment, his expression suddenly changed!

He looked up abruptly, looking toward the outside world.

Outside Danxia, a wild wind swept through, and the sound of pine waves was constant.

Amidst those sky-filling pine waves, a cyan giant wood, a hundred zhang long, was slowly taking shape.

The giant wood was deep cyan all over, and its head looked as if it had been chiseled by a knife and axe, presenting a sharp, round state.

As far as the eye could see, it was like a battering ram in the mortal world!

But the majestic spiritual pressure blooming upon it made it impossible for anyone to ignore its existence.

Seeing this, Elder Min Longyu was furious.

"Quickly go report to the president!"

"Send people to do their utmost to maintain the array!"

The two disciples didn't dare to delay any longer and hurriedly went down the mountain.

In fact, even before they could report, Sima Hui Niang had already discovered it.

She looked at the vast giant wood outside the mountain with a worried face; behind her, Gu Caiyi and Murong Qinglian were also pale with fright.

Could the Colorful Danxia Array block such an attack?

"Try your best to stop it a little!"

A low, light drink came to her ears.

The next moment, Wang Yuan walked out of the great hall, reached out his hand, and a large bow fell into his hand.

It was actually a magic treasure-grade longbow!

There were also three black long arrows inserted into the hard ground in front of him.

This kind of strange magic treasure came from Chu Kui's spoils of war and was now just right for Wang Yuan to use.

Drawing the bow and nocking the arrow, surging blood energy circulated.

Wang Yuan's posture was a bit strained; he had obtained this item too recently, and in just a few months, he couldn't refine it completely at all.

But some things, even if one knew they couldn't be done, had to be done.

When the longbow was drawn halfway, Wang Yuan found it hard to continue.

He no longer forced it and released the bowstring.

"Go!"

A stream of light pierced through the clouds and sun, heading straight for Song Fengzi, who was driving the battering ram outside the mountain.

Facing this abrupt arrow, there was a moment of surprise outside.

But Song Fengzi, who was driving the talisman, didn't care at all.

He knew someone would help block it.

Sure enough.

The next moment, Zheng Xian leaped out from the crowd, waved his hand, and a large sheet of fire flew out.

That stream of light escaped into the fire, wandering constantly like a swimming fish.

Not long after, it finally flew out of the sky-filling stream of light.

But at this time, the blood energy wrapped around it was already almost gone.

Zheng Xian snorted coldly and grabbed with one hand.

Hum!

The black feather arrow fell into his hand, struggling constantly, but it no longer posed any threat.

Heavy fire light emerged on Zheng Xian's hand, and the black feather arrow turned into a pool of molten iron before long, dripping onto the ground.

"Small tricks, daring to show off!"

Just at this moment, Song Fengzi's voice came from behind.

"It's ready!"

"Fellow Daoist, step aside!"

Zheng Xian immediately retreated.

The next moment, the hundred-zhang giant wood rumbled forward, smashing onto the colorful light curtain with an unstoppable momentum.

The two made contact, and there was a moment of stalemate.

But in just an instant, the colorful light curtain tore open like cloth.

The battering ram's momentum remained, about to crash into the Danxia Peak mountain body.

In everyone's gaze, a figure suddenly soared into the sky, slapped out a huge handprint, and blocked in front of the battering ram.

Boom!

Under one palm, the battering ram stood firm, its forward momentum paused slightly, but it still moved forward.

That person's expression changed slightly, and he slapped out two more palms in succession.

Boom!

Boom!

Three palms slapped in succession, and the battering ram's speed finally stopped.

Outside Danxia, a proud smile appeared on Song Fengzi's face.

"But, it's still not enough!"

"Wait until this strike smashes onto the mountain body; the great array connected to the earth veins will inevitably be affected, and by then..."

But the next moment, his proud smile vanished completely.

An equally huge long staff suddenly burst out from inside Danxia.

Breaking the surface with a point, it blocked in front of the battering ram.

"Break!"

Following a low drink, the battering ram finally collapsed, turning into dots of spiritual light and dissipating within Danxia Peak.

By this time, the people outside finally saw clearly the two people who had joined forces to block this strike through the ten-zhang-sized hole in the light curtain.

One was in coarse cloth and hemp clothes, black hair fluttering behind, moving without wind, standing like a mountain, looking like a grandmaster.

One was tall and sturdy, holding a gold-black Heaven-Equaling Staff, his face glowing with a domineering spirit of "who else but me."

"Blood Demon Wang Yuan!"

"Heavenly Tusk Chu Kui!"

Seeing the two, countless people called out their names.

Song Fengzi's expression changed slightly; he quietly retreated behind the crowd, not letting himself be exposed to their line of sight.

These two were very strong!

He didn't want to be targeted by either of them.

Zheng Xian, however, was completely fearless, looking at the two from afar, revealing a ferocious smile.

"Very good!"

"Fellow Daoist Song Fengzi's method directly forced the Luo Tian Society's three great experts to come out; he is worthy of being a famous rogue cultivator in the Yaowang Domain and the current Hall Master of the Iron Sword Hall!"

Song Fengzi, who had already retreated behind the crowd, was stunned.

Then his face turned green and red, almost wanting to curse out loud.

But he ultimately held back.

"My battering ram talisman can only be driven once in a short time; next, it depends on your methods."

He said hatefully, then entered the third-grade spirit-gathering array without looking back to recover his state.

Zheng Xian sneered coldly, not caring about his unhappiness.

He saw very clearly that the colorful array had suffered heavy damage after this strike.

It was just that the whole thing hadn't collapsed yet, so it wasn't very suitable for a large-scale slaughter.

But!

They had other means.

"Fellow Daoist Xia Hou, it's your turn."

Xia Hou Kun said "um," and when he stepped forward, he said worriedly.

"Our family's joint secret technique, although its might is not bad, has a limit on distance. If the Luo Tian Society experts snipe, you must protect us a little later."

Zheng Xian waved his hand: "Rest assured, I will definitely protect you!"

Xia Hou Kun breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he nodded to the four Foundation Establishment True Persons of the Xia Hou family behind him.

The five of them came together to a place five miles outside Danxia Peak.

The four sat cross-legged and pinched spiritual seals.

Xia Hou Kun resided in the middle, his sleeves moving without wind; in front of him, a large sword emitted a biting chill.

Following the five people joining forces, that large sword suddenly floated into the sky, and a majestic sword light was slowly taking shape.

Seeing this, Zheng Xian raised an eyebrow.

Same-source bloodline secret technique?

Ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators simply couldn't fully drive the might of a magic treasure.

It involved barriers like spiritual sense, magic power, etc.

But looking at it now, the Xia Hou family indeed had its unique aspects.

Using the Foundation Establishment power of a clan's same-source bloodline to jointly drive this inherited flying sword magic treasure that had been refined for many years.

I'm afraid that when fully driven later, it wouldn't be inferior to a full-strength strike from a Core Formation early-stage cultivator!

Time passed slowly.

The four Foundation Establishment True Persons of the Xia Hou family frantically mobilized their spiritual power, all adding it to Xia Hou Kun alone.

Fatigue also appeared on each of their faces.

Zheng Xian's attention still had a large half falling on Danxia Peak.

Through that huge hole, he could see Wang Yuan drawing his bow and nocking an arrow again, wanting to stop this strike.

When that meteor flew out, he laughed loudly.

"Repeating the same old trick is useless!"

Equally scorching fire light emerged, and he easily grabbed the black feather arrow just like before.

However, before he could melt this item.

His expression changed.

"Wrong!"

Looking up abruptly, above Danxia, Wang Yuan and Chu Kui acted together, using their powerful physiques to forcibly pull the magic treasure longbow to a state close to perfection.

This strike!

Unstoppable!

He hurriedly waved out a large sheet of fire light, while he himself retreated.

In this way, there was no one left to block Xia Hou Kun and the five people before.

"Everyone attack together to block this strike."

The sound of Zheng Xian issuing orders came to Xia Hou Kun's ears, but everything was already too late.

In his single eye, there was only that arrow flying from beyond the sky.

Furious, he couldn't care about condensing the magic treasure killing move anymore and forcibly moved several zhang away.

But even so.

Boom!

The black stream of light slammed into the place where he had originally been.

The surging spiritual energy fluctuation blew him over dozens of zhang away again.

Unable to care about the shaking blood energy in his body, he rushed to the spot, his mouth shouting urgently.

"Second brother, third brother, little seventeenth..."

No response.

Only severed limbs and broken bones remained, splattering all around.

This arrow not only interrupted the accumulated power of the joint strike from the five Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Xia Hou family, but also directly annihilated four of them.

He stood up from the ground, trembling all over, looking at Zheng Xian in disbelief.

"You promised to block the sniping for me!"

Zheng Xian showed a look of guilt.

"Sorry, I didn't expect that magic treasure could actually be driven by two people together."

"Didn't expect?" Xia Hou Kun gave a miserable laugh; his Xia Hou family's four Foundation Establishment True Persons had died tragically—how could a simple "didn't expect" clear the relationship?

Zheng Xian's expression became solemn.

"However, you should be credited with a great achievement in this battle."

"Hm?" Xia Hou Kun was puzzled.

But soon, he knew the answer.

Tuoba Lingfei, Xiang Zhonghe, and another great cultivator of the Zheng family flew out together.

The three maintained the same action, pushing forward.

A large sheet of black light flew out, the fishy smell within it almost nauseating.

As that black light was sprinkled, the colorful light curtain covering Danxia Peak was instantly stained with a touch of pitch black.

This color was extremely faint at first, but as the light curtain trembled, trying to clear this light, it became increasingly thick.

Su Su Yinyin, the colorful light curtain became more and more fragile.

Xia Hou Kun opened his mouth wide; by this time, how could he not know that he had become the bait on the surface.

Tuoba Lingfei and the other three were the main forces of the attack hidden in the dark.

Zheng Xian looked at the pitch-black light constantly spreading on the light curtain, an excited expression appearing on his face.

"With my Yan Alliance's Withered Fire True Evil, this array will vanish into smoke within three days!"

Below him, thousands of cultivators were also excited.

Shouting the sound of "Break Danxia, destroy Luo Tian."

Zheng Xian lowered his head, looking at Xia Hou Kun, comforting him: "The ones who killed your Xia Hou family members are Wang Yuan and Chu Kui. After breaking the great array, we will definitely avenge you. If we can seize the Core Formation secret technique, Fellow Daoist, you can view it first!"

Xia Hou Kun gave a miserable laugh, but he was blocked by words and couldn't say anything.

Amidst the sorrowful and worried welcome of a group of Xia Hou family Qi Refining cultivators, he walked into the spirit-gathering array.

It was just that his back, compared to others, appeared increasingly desolate.

And on Danxia Peak.

Pfft!

A mouthful of blood sprayed out, Elder Min Longyu's face pale to the extreme.

Since these days, controlling this great array had consumed much of his heart and energy.

Today, the great array had suffered heavy damage in succession, especially the Withered Fire True Evil staining the great array, making his mind connected to it, receiving a terrifying impact.

At this moment, he was already seriously injured.

He struggled to take out a few pills from his storage bag and swallowed them into his mouth like a cow chewing a peony.

"I cannot fall!"

"This great array, holding on for one day is one day. We must delay enough time for the president; otherwise, the Min family's destruction a hundred years ago will happen again."

As he muttered.

A breeze moved beside him.

In a trance, a familiar figure was already in front of him.

"Master!"

"Master!"

Elder Min Longyu, whose face was slightly pale, opened his eyes: "How is the situation with the array?"

His two disciples immediately replied: "Under our inspection, the array base is severely damaged, and the spirit stones are being consumed excessively."

This was bad news.

The array was not naturally generated.

Heavy fire light emerged on Zheng Xian's hand, and the black feather arrow turned into a pool of molten iron before long, dripping onto the ground.

"Small tricks, daring to show off!"

Just at this moment, Song Fengzi's voice came from behind.

"It's ready!"

"Fellow Daoist, step aside!"

Zheng Xian immediately retreated.

The next moment, the hundred-zhang giant wood rumbled forward, smashing onto the colorful light curtain with an unstoppable momentum.

The two made contact, and there was a moment of stalemate.

But in just an instant, the colorful light curtain tore open like cloth.

The battering ram's momentum remained, about to crash into the Danxia Peak mountain body.

In everyone's gaze, a figure suddenly soared into the sky, slapped out a huge handprint, and blocked in front of the battering ram.

Boom!

Under one palm, the battering ram stood firm, its forward momentum paused slightly, but it still moved forward.

That person's expression changed slightly, and he slapped out two more palms in succession.

Boom!

Boom!

Three palms slapped in succession, and the battering ram's speed finally stopped.

Outside Danxia, a proud smile appeared on Song Fengzi's face.

"But, it's still not enough!"

"Wait until this strike smashes onto the mountain body; the great array connected to the earth veins will inevitably be affected, and by then..."

But the next moment, his proud smile vanished completely.

An equally huge long staff suddenly burst out from inside Danxia.

Breaking the surface with a point, it blocked in front of the battering ram.

"Break!"

Following a low drink, the battering ram finally collapsed, turning into dots of spiritual light and dissipating within Danxia Peak.

By this time, the people outside finally saw clearly the two people who had joined forces to block this strike through the ten-zhang-sized hole in the light curtain.

One was in coarse cloth and hemp clothes, black hair fluttering behind, moving without wind, standing like a mountain, looking like a grandmaster.

One was tall and sturdy, holding a gold-black Heaven-Equaling Staff, his face glowing with a domineering spirit of "who else but me."

"Blood Demon Wang Yuan!"

"Heavenly Tusk Chu Kui!"

Seeing the two, countless people called out their names.

Song Fengzi's expression changed slightly; he quietly retreated behind the crowd, not letting himself be exposed to their line of sight.

These two were very strong!

He didn't want to be targeted by either of them.

Zheng Xian, however, was completely fearless, looking at the two from afar, revealing a ferocious smile.

"Very good!"

"Fellow Daoist Song Fengzi's method directly forced the Luo Tian Society's three great experts to come out; he is worthy of being a famous rogue cultivator in the Yaowang Domain and the current Hall Master of the Iron Sword Hall!"

Song Fengzi, who had already retreated behind the crowd, was stunned.

Then his face turned green and red, almost wanting to curse out loud.

But he ultimately held back.

"My battering ram talisman can only be driven once in a short time; next, it depends on your methods."

He said hatefully, then entered the third-grade spirit-gathering array without looking back to recover his state.

Zheng Xian sneered coldly, not caring about his unhappiness.

He saw very clearly that the colorful array had suffered heavy damage after this strike.

It was just that the whole thing hadn't collapsed yet, so it wasn't very suitable for a large-scale slaughter.
