Chapter 209: Chapter 196: Avenge Humiliation (Part 2)
"Three Elders, what is the meaning of this?"
The men’s expressions shifted. They had long heard of the Three Elders’ fame, but only now, facing them directly, did they understand the true terror. The colossal divine statue had solidified from illusion into reality, like the true form of a Yang Spirit. All its attacks struck the spirit directly. An ordinary person would be forced to their knees in worship upon seeing it. To be touched by the statue meant having one’s spirit assaulted by its terrifying aura, causing instant brain death.
In ancient times, a cultivator who reached such a level would have been no different from one of the Deities.
"What is the meaning of this? Since you’ve all come together, it’s only natural that we have a proper chat."
An incredibly vast and majestic voice echoed through the courtyard like rolling thunder. The speaker wasn’t any of the Three Elders, but the colossal, deity-like true form that their auras had manifested from illusion into reality!
For a moment, a chill ran through everyone’s hearts.
...
...
「Outside the Martial Arts Association Headquarters.」
From four different directions, the waiting crowd clearly saw the strange phenomenon emanating from the compound.
A silver radiance shot upward, forming a dome of light that enveloped the courtyard. It was far too conspicuous.
’Have they made their move?’
The waiting men narrowed their eyes.
With the Three Elders making their move, the Power of Feng Shui for the Grand Array within the Martial Arts Association Headquarters would be heavily drained. This was the perfect time for them to act.
"The Grand Array’s power is weak, and the Three Elders can’t afford any distractions. Once you’re in the back courtyards, form pairs and disperse immediately. The moment you find the target’s location, give the secret signal. Don’t let the target escape! Move out!"
The leaders of the various factions swiftly gave the order. From four directions, they moved out at nearly the same time. Everyone vaulted over the compound’s three-meter-high walls, pouring into the estate from all sides.
WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!!
After landing, the figures scattered according to their pre-arranged groups, fanning out to surround and search the entire estate.
VMMMM!!
Just then, something unexpected happened.
The originally dim starlight within the estate suddenly flared, forming individual domes of light that enveloped the different courtyards.
The men from the Three Great Warlords and the Neon Nation now inside the estate found the starlight dazzling. Their five senses were instantly affected, and their perceptive range was drastically suppressed. The weaker among them even began to hallucinate, feeling the scenery shift around them as if they had lost all sense of direction.
’An Array?’
’The battle with the Three Elders has already begun, yet the Array in the estate can still exhibit this much power?!’
For a moment, everyone was surprised. The estate’s very design already conformed to the principles of Feng Shui, a labyrinth of winding paths and secret passages. Now, with their senses disrupted and starlight obscuring everything, their search became even more difficult.
’The Heaven-Locking Array, Chaotic Heaven and Mysterious Clouds!’
’You think this little trick is enough to stop our search?!’
’The Three Elders aren’t controlling this personally. Let’s see how long an Array activated to this degree can last!’
BOOM!!
The experts unleashed their auras, resisting the influence of the Heaven-Locking Array.
Meanwhile, in a courtyard deep within the estate, Lu Yuanxiang sat cross-legged atop a giant stone that rotated like a Compass. Countless Silver Needles were embedded in his flesh as he operated various Secret Techniques. The veins and arteries all over his body stood out in sharp relief, his temples bulged, and his eyes were completely bloodshot. Blood had even begun to trickle from his seven orifices, a clear sign of the immense pressure he was under.
He snatched a palm-sized Jade Bottle from beside him and poured the Golden Willow Jade Liquid within down his throat.
"Everyone, I’ve already told you the identities and locations of the main attackers. With the Dragon Jades in hand, you won’t be affected by the Grand Array. You need to move quickly. I can’t hold on for much longer."
Lu Yuanxiang said through clenched teeth. Even if he put his life on the line, and even if he had an entire pool of Golden Willow Jade Liquid to recover with, his Spirit wouldn’t be able to hold out for much longer.
After all, there was still a wide gap in power between him and the Three Elders.
Upon hearing this, the group exchanged glances and nodded grimly. Then, with a push of their feet, their figures flickered and they scattered, racing off to find their respective targets.
The enemy outnumbered them and had more experts. They had to use this brief window of time while Lu Yuanxiang controlled the Grand Array to seize the advantage.
In one of the estate’s many courtyards, a tall figure in a loose Neon-style kimono was feeling his way around.
’It’s not here, either?’
The courtyard was enveloped by a powerful magnetic field, which appeared in Ye Jian Mountain’s eyes as a cascade of shimmering lights. He couldn’t tell where the exit was at all.
His particular brand of aura specialized in defense, not aggressive oppression, so he found it difficult to dispel the Array’s effects. He could only continue to feel his way around slowly.
He looked up, thinking of leaping into the air and dropping down outside the courtyard to escape. But he was wary that the Array might have a trap prepared for just such an obvious loophole.
’If I can’t find a way out, I’ll just smash one open!’
A vicious glint flashed in Ye Jian Mountain’s eyes. His body suddenly writhed as his muscles began to grow wildly, as if released from some restriction. His clothes instantly burst apart, leaving only a white loincloth. The muscles covering his body were as grotesque as tumors, enough to make one’s stomach turn.
He stood in the center of the courtyard, legs spread in a low squat and arms braced against the ground. His entire upper body was nearly parallel to the floor. He seemed to be preparing to charge and smash his way straight through the courtyard wall.
Hm?!
However, just as he was about to unleash his power, his expression froze.
The sound of rushing air cut through the courtyard. A tall figure then passed through the wall of light, descending from the sky to land a short distance in front of him.
Wild hair whipped around a resolute, masculine face. His aura was immense.
