Chapter 895: I, the Marquis, Break the Array, and You Shall Be Exterminated

Wuri Muhao felt that he was already old.

As one of the three great powerful tribes of the Northern Barbarians, the Wuri Tribe had always harbored the ambition to dominate the Northern Barbarians.

When Boerhu emerged, Wuri Muhao once believed that the Wuri Tribe's ambition of several hundred years was about to be realized!

As a result, the Great Elder died, and Boerhu was also severely wounded.

The tribe's fortune was damaged.

The tribe-protecting grand array was cursed!

These encounters caused Wuri Muhao to begin reflecting on whether he had done something wrong.

If they had safely and steadily guarded the tribe, many people could have avoided death.

This time, when uniting with the other tribes to launch an attack on the Great Lan Dynasty again, Wuri Muhao was opposed to it at first.

But he could not withstand his daughter's repeated pleas, and many young warriors in the tribe still had their hot blood uncooled.

An eagle that has not yet grown old truly should not guard its nest all day long.

Wuri Muhao ultimately handed over most of the tribe's elite to Boerhu, while he himself guarded the main camp.

"If you are defeated this time, you must come back alive; the sun of the Wuri Tribe will never set."

Before leaving, Wuri Muhao said this to Boerhu.

These words sounded somewhat ominous, but for those going out to struggle, having someone behind you to provide a safety net no matter what is a very reassuring feeling.

"Father, look, I hunted this!"

A young man wearing crimson martial attire with somewhat delicate features carried a horned leopard beast weighing over two thousand catties in one hand and came before Wuri Muhao.

A smile appeared on Wuri Muhao's face, and he beckoned for the other to come over.

The young man was named Wuri Botian, and he was Wuri Yanana's younger brother.

Influenced by Boerhu, Wuri Botian also liked to wear Central Plains clothing and liked exquisite grooming.

This made him appear somewhat out of place among his peers.

However, he had inherited the powerful bloodline of the Wuri Tribe and possessed extremely high martial arts talent.

At twenty-one years old this year, he was already a Tudu martial artist.

If such talent were placed in the Central Plains, he could be called a peerless prodigy!

In the situation where Boerhu had not left behind any heirs, it was almost a certainty that Wuri Botian would be the future chieftain of the Wuri Tribe.

"Father, when will Brother-in-law and the others return?"

Wuri Botian came to Wuri Muhao's side and asked.

"It should be soon."

Wuri Muhao said with a smile.

Wuri Botian curled his lips: "You say that every time; you should have let me go to battle with Brother-in-law. I am already a powerful warrior!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the corpse of the horned leopard beast on the ground.

This was a fifth-grade exotic beast; even for a Tudu martial artist, it was very difficult to hunt one alone.

"You are still young. When you become as powerful as your brother-in-law, you can participate in the battles you want to participate in."

Wuri Muhao was still smiling, looking at his youngest son with a kindly face.

Wuri Botian felt somewhat dejected.

He longed for battle, longed to clash with true powerhouses, and longed to be tempered by blood and fire, rather than hunting those exotic beasts that knew no martial arts under the protection of a group of people.

"Father..."

BOOM!!!!

A huge roaring sound interrupted what Wuri Botian wanted to say.

The ground suddenly shook violently!

"Has the earth dragon turned over?"

Wuri Botian steadied his figure with a blank expression.

Wuri Muhao, who was to the side, had his expression change drastically; he stood up abruptly and vanished from the room.

High in the sky, a figure stood in mid-air, standing before the sacred tree of the Wuri Tribe.

Directly in front of him, a gap appeared on the golden tree trunk, and magma-like liquid was flowing inside!

"Enemy attack! Activate the array—"

Wuri Muhao soared into the air and roared in the language of the Wuri Tribe.

At the same time, a force bloomed from within his body and poured into the sacred tree.

Hum—

This true towering tree seemed like a giant beast waking from slumber; surging power flowed within the tree trunk, and ten thousand zhang of golden light shone down from the canopy above the clouds!

For a defensive grand array like this, the most critical point lies in the activation speed.

If it requires too many people to coordinate, the activation speed is too slow, and it cannot defend against the surprise attacks of top-tier powerhouses.

As the chieftain of the Wuri Tribe, controlling the "authority" passed down through generations in the tribe, Wuri Muhao activated the tribe-protecting grand array with a single thought!

When the ten thousand zhang of golden light fell, Li Fei appeared before Wuri Muhao and struck with a punch.

The punch came out like a sword; all kinds of imagery were contained within this sword!

Wuri Muhao's expression was solemn, and his entire person instantly transformed into a golden sun, bathed in the golden light.

Divine Ability—【Sun Descent】!

Endless light and heat bloomed from within Wuri Muhao's body; all force and heaven and earth spiritual energy were thoroughly purified and merged into this great sun.

But after "stripping away" the outer layers of force and heaven and earth spiritual energy, Li Fei's gold-armored fist still smashed inside.

It was like a meteorite falling from the sky into an erupting volcano; before the meteorite could be melted by the magma, the terrifying impact force collapsed the volcano first!

High in the sky, the golden sun seemed to experience a solar eclipse; a shadow appeared in the center, then it continuously expanded, and finally, it became dim and lusterless.

BOOM!!!

As the roaring sound rang out, Wuri Muhao fell from the sky.

Blood was at the corner of his mouth, and he looked at Li Fei with a face full of horror.

Although he was only a Great Grandmaster of the Divine Derivation Realm, with the help of the power of the tribe-protecting grand array, he could block the attacks of a Prince-level powerhouse.

As a result, he was injured by Li Fei in a single move!

At this time, the golden light blooming from the Wuri Tribe's sacred tree had completely enveloped the main camp, and vast power poured out continuously from the tree trunk, forming a canopy above the main camp.

Only then did the various powerhouses of the Wuri Tribe react, running one after another toward the designated positions, preparing to input their own power into the grand array.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Muffled thunderous sounds rang out continuously in the air.

In the blink of an eye, Li Fei launched more than a dozen attacks at the Wuri Tribe's sacred tree; the majestic power, enough to destroy mountains and shake the seas, completely shook this sacred tree with a thousand-year history!

It is rumored that a thousand years ago, a ninth-grade exotic beast, the Great Sun Golden Crow, once perched on this tree.

Later, the Great Sun Golden Crow fell, and its body merged with this tree.

The Wuri Tribe took the Great Sun Golden Crow as their totem, and when establishing their main camp, they chose to build it next to this tree.

Thus, this tree became the sacred tree of the Wuri Tribe, and after hundreds of years of reinforcement, it is now the core of the Wuri Tribe's tribe-protecting grand array.

Li Fei knew he could not stop the activation of the tribe-protecting grand array, so he hammered the sacred tree directly!

The golden canopy shook violently.

Fallen leaves descended like rain, and before they could land on the ground, they burst into clusters of sparks.

It was as if countless fireworks had exploded above the Wuri Tribe's main camp, brilliant to the extreme.

But at this moment, no one was in the mood to appreciate this beautiful scene.

"Who are you?!"

Wuri Muhao stood inside the grand array and shouted in unpracticed Central Plains language.

"Jing'an Marquis of the Great Lan Dynasty, Li Fei—"

While Li Fei spoke, he struck the tree trunk again with a 【Not Knowing the Height of Heaven】.

A Creation Realm ultimate move that other top-tier powerhouses would use as a trump card had actually become a "common" move in his hands!

"He is Li Fei?"

Wuri Botian trembled all over as he looked up at the sky.

He dared to challenge the most ferocious exotic beasts alone, but at this moment, looking at Li Fei clad in golden armor, he felt uncontrollable fear.

In the hearts of all Wuri tribesmen, the sacred tree that was inviolable and could hold up this firmament was like a small sapling in a gale under the other's fist!

The other party used his actions to let the Wuri Tribe know that this sacred tree did not hold up the true firmament.

The sky was beneath his fist!

This is a powerhouse.

A true powerhouse!

This is power.

True power!

Wuri Botian's heart was shocked beyond words.

He had heard stories of Li Fei and knew that the other was the most formidable prodigy of the Central Plains.

He had once thought that he would eventually surpass Li Fei.

But now, he could only tremble under the other's fist!

Rumble—

A few minutes later, the trunk of the Golden Crow Sacred Tree was covered in cracks.

The golden canopy shattered with a roar!

The clan-protecting array had been smashed open by Li Fei!

Wuri Muhao spat out blood as he fell from the sky, his face full of bitterness.

If not for the fact that the previous battle had damaged the clan's fortune, and the clan-protecting array had been cursed by a peak-level powerhouse, causing severe impact.

Li Fei would certainly not have been able to break the array so quickly today.

In the distance, Wuri Botian glared with wide eyes, watching his father fall from the sky.

He watched his father unfold his Martial Dao Domain, blooming into a sea of fire in the air, with towering trees growing from the sea of fire, the silhouette of a Golden Crow flickering in and out of existence.

Immediately after, a war god clad in golden armor descended from the sky, tearing through the sea of fire with irresistible force and shattering the ancient trees!

Wuri Botian knew that in the next moment, Li Fei would kill his father, thereby completely breaking the Wuri clan's clan-protecting array.

He could not help but feel his blood boil.

The young warrior did not fear death; he felt ashamed of the fear he had just felt!

"Li Fei!!"

"I am the Young Clan Leader of the Wuri clan; if you have the ability, come and kill me—"

Wuri Botian channeled his strength, using the Central Plains language that Boerhu had taught him, to transmit his voice over.

However, Li Fei did not even glance in this direction.

A streak of brilliant heavenly light, all-encompassing, like a divine sword, completely pierced through Wuri Muhao's Martial Dao Domain.

It also pierced through Wuri Muhao's body!

"No—"

Wuri Botian screamed frantically, rushing toward that side regardless of everything.

In the air, Wuri Muhao, his body run through, was covered in blood and filth; he turned his head to look, wanting to speak to stop him.

But in the next second, his neck was gripped, a blood sword pierced into his consciousness, and his mind was invaded by boundless killing intent!

Li Fei gripped the Wuri clan leader's neck with one hand and turned to look at the crowd below:

"The Northern Barbarians have invaded our borders, wantonly burning, killing, and plundering, treating the citizens of my Great Lan Dynasty like food!"

"Today, this Marquis breaks your array, and you shall be exterminated—"

As his words fell, Wuri Muhao, whose neck he was gripping, had his body burst like a shattered tomato, flesh and blood flying everywhere!

Afterward, he turned himself into a sword, turned around, and raised his arm to sweep across.

The brilliant sword radiance, carrying the vast landscape of the Great Lan Dynasty, slashed across the Golden Crow Sacred Tree behind him!

Crack—

A gap first appeared where the Golden Crow Sacred Tree was struck, then the gap continuously expanded, the sound of crumbling incessant to the ear!

As the clan-protecting array was forcibly broken by Li Fei, coupled with having been struck by Qiming's curse earlier, the interior of this Golden Crow Sacred Tree had become very fragile.

In the desperate gazes of tens of thousands of Wuri clansmen, their sacred tree snapped!

A thousand-year-old sacred tree, severed by a single sword!

A shadow like a mountain peak shrouded the Wuri clan's headquarters.

"Ahhhhh!!"

Tens of thousands of people screamed in despair; Wuri Botian and many Wuri clan warriors completely collapsed.

Li Fei looked up at the distant horizon, where a golden river was rapidly sweeping over.

The River-Suppressing Heavenly King and Boerhu were almost here!

Rumble—

Like a mountain peak crashing down from high in the sky, dust erupted like a volcano.

The earth tore open, the earth dragon turned over!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of explosions occurred; this was the clan-protecting array being destroyed along with the Golden Crow Sacred Tree.

Because Wuri Botian was near an array point, he died in the explosion of the array at the first moment.

This young warrior had longed for a war of blood and fire, but the cruelty of war far exceeded his imagination.

"Li Fei!!!"

A voice like angry thunder came from afar.

Boerhu exhausted all his strength, turning into a black meteor, rushing toward this side at a speed approaching seven times the speed of sound!

He stared fixedly at that figure in the distance, the rage in his eyes almost erupting.

Li Fei turned his head, locking eyes with Boerhu across the distance.

The tragic scenes in the village that Lan Yu and the others had rescued also surfaced in his mind.

Such tragic scenes were happening in many places in Beichuan Province at this moment!

There was also burning rage in Li Fei's eyes!

Just as Boerhu was about to arrive, he vanished from where he stood.

The black meteor stopped above the Wuri clan.

Boerhu's eyes were blood-red, looking at the ruins below and the corpses covering the ground.

Then looking at the severed Golden Crow Sacred Tree, his body began to tremble.

"Ah—"

Boerhu let out a long howl toward the sky, emitting a roar like a fierce beast.

Two lines of blood tears flowed from his eyes!

At this time, the River-Suppressing Heavenly King had also arrived; he swept a glance at the tragic state below with pitying eyes, pressed his palms together, and chanted a Buddhist name:

"Amitabha."

The two continued to pursue Li Fei.

Boerhu looked at the River-Suppressing Heavenly King with blood-red eyes and transmitted his voice: "If you do not use your full strength again, our cooperation ends here!"

He did not believe the other party had no backup plans; the methods of a peak-level powerhouse were definitely not limited to this.

The River-Suppressing Heavenly King looked at Boerhu calmly.

He indeed had not brought out his full strength.

The more people Li Fei killed and the greater the destruction he caused, the greater his own consumption would be.

The River-Suppressing Heavenly King would then have a greater certainty of being able to kill Li Fei.

If this one person is not killed today, more people will die in the future!

This was the compassion chosen by the River-Suppressing Heavenly King.

But now, the River-Suppressing Heavenly King could not ignore Boerhu's attitude.

The Pudu Temple had already established a nation, and they would still need the Northern Barbarians as an ally in the future.

"Benefactor has misunderstood; it is not that this seat is not trying his best, it is just that at least you need to be able to block Li Fei slightly for this seat to be able to seal and suppress him."

The River-Suppressing Heavenly King explained.

"Our people are already on their way, and we will join forces to surround and kill Li Fei next!"

Boerhu's voice was extremely cold.

Before the war began, he had divided the top powerhouses of the Northern Barbarian Allied Forces and the Ba Capital powerhouses into two groups, going to attack Polu City and Baisong City respectively.

It looked like it had dispersed the Great Lan Dynasty's power, forcing the other side to have to send powerhouses to support.

But in reality, four top powerhouses of the Northern Barbarians had only drawn away one top powerhouse of the Great Lan Dynasty.

Such a strategy seemed a bit stupid.

It was not that Boerhu had no brains, but that he also had his own schemes:

On this battlefield of Moyuncheng, with two peak-level powerhouses of the Buddhist school present, plus himself and three Great Arhats, it was already a sure-win situation.

There was no need to let the Northern Barbarian powerhouses take risks.

If any accident occurred and any top powerhouse died, it would be a huge blow to the Northern Barbarian Allied Forces!

And even if these Northern Barbarian powerhouses were truly needed for support, both sides had flying magic treasures, and each had two top-tier True Persons.

The two could take turns controlling the flying magic treasures, allowing them to bring their companions to arrive quickly for support with relatively less consumption.

When Li Fei headed toward the depths of the Northern Barbarians, Boerhu had used the long-distance communication methods prepared in advance to notify both sides at the first moment.

Letting the eight top powerhouses return from two directions to the Northern Barbarians, preparing to surround and kill Li Fei!

Hearing Boerhu say this, the River-Suppressing Heavenly King immediately said:

"That is excellent."

As the words fell, the Martial Dao river beneath his feet suddenly rushed into the void and completely disappeared.

PS: Happy holidays to everyone~
