Book 2: Chapter 47: Fu Xue

Inside the First Song Sect:

“There’s an intruder—” a cultivator started shouting.

Bang!

Suddenly, an arrow pierced that cultivator’s throat.

Several evil men immediately charged over. Then, Gao Xianzhi looked at the two evil men who had been fighting with that First Song Sect disciple earlier.

Gao Xianzhi said seriously, “Be careful!”

“Legate, this place is extremely tightly guarded. It looks like we should be close!” an evil man said excitedly.

“Move quickly. We do not have much time left!” Gao Xianzhi said anxiously.

“Yes!”

——

Outside, at the Twenty-Eight Line-Pair World Ritual Array:

“Release the arrows!” Scar commanded loudly.

Bang!

Suddenly, thousands of arrows shot out of the ritual array interwoven with red and white fog, streaking towards the black-robed man in the air.

“There are quite a lot of people? Go!” the black-robed man shouted coldly. Then, he extended his hand and formed a wall out of energy.

Boom!

The thousands of arrows immediately exploded, and the shards fell back to the ritual array.

“Continue shooting!” Scar’s voice rang out again.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Arrows continuously shot out. The black-robed man blocked the arrow rain time and time again as he looked at the ritual array sullenly.

Whoos.h.!.+

The fog in the ritual array seemed to be spinning. The black-robed man’s poisonous fog could not penetrate, slowly squeezed out as the fog spun. The ritual array blocked it all. After the ritual array squeezed out the poisonous fog, the poisonous fog scattered into the surroundings, even reaching the First Song Sect disciples.

“Ah! Choke! Choke! Choke! Choke!” Some of the First Song Sect disciples held their throats in pain, their faces flus.h.i.+ng.

Not far away, some of the ordinary people breathed in some of the poisonous fog, and their entire bodies turned purple; they foamed at the mouth, then stopped breathing. The ordinary people immediately died on contact. After a while, hundreds of people died.

“Primogenitor, I’m poisoned. Save me!” a First Song Sect disciple exclaimed.

“You all have my essence blood; you won’t die. Humph! Tras.h.!.+” the black-robed man said coldly.

When the black-robed man turned his head to look at the strange ritual array and the arrows shooting over, he felt even more frustrated.

“Humph! You are just a bunch of ants overestimating yourselves. Heavens, send rain!” the black-robed man shouted coldly.

Boom!

Suddenly, dark clouds covered the sky, blocking out the sun and instantly shrouding the entire ritual array.

Rumble!

Thunder rolled, and lightning flashed in the dark clouds. Torrential rain fell amid bright flashes.

Whoos.h.!.+

Torrential rain fell on the ritual array, appearing like a waterfall pouring down.

“He really is a flood dragon?” The expression of Shangguan Hen, who was in the ritual array, changed.

Whoos.h.!.+

As the torrential rain poured, Gu Hai controlled the Go-board-shaped ritual array, slowly adjusting it.

Cras.h.!.+

Gu Hai blocked the rain from entering the ritual array. The water level rose in the surrounding valley, but none of it could enter the ritual array.

“What an excellent ritual array! It is indeed an excellent ritual array. Brat, you are qualified to know my name. Remember, I am called Fu Xue. As for the Elite Hall Master, she died long ago! Hahahaha!” the black-robed man laughed coldly.

As Fu Xue spoke, he finally made a move, thrusting out his hand to launch a palm strike at the ritual array. A red palm manifested in the air and pressed down, trying to smash the ritual array.

The manifested palm shook the air, kicking up surging winds in the surroundings and blowing the water everywhere.

Far in the distance, the First Song Sect disciples showed horrified expressions.

“The primogenitor is actually this strong?”

“I have never seen such a strong aura, even from the sect master!”

“Can he break the ritual array?”

Rumble…!

The palm looked like it would hit the ritual array soon. The surging wind stirred the fog in the ritual array.

“I have the strength to pick up mountains, and my might conquers the world!” A roar came from the ritual array.

Then, a halberd soared into the sky.

s.h.i.+ng!

Boom!

A loud report rang out as the halberd swept across and shattered the red palm. Then, the halberd continued towards Fu Xue, sweeping ferociously.

“Huh?” Fu Xue’s face sank as he punched.

Boom!

As the halberd swept forward, Fu Xue quickly retreated.

Gu Hai forced back the flood dragon?

“Milord!” Chen Tianshan exclaimed in pleasant surprise.

“Don’t waste time speaking. Urge everyone on, quickly! This Fu Xue is even more incredible than Meng Tai!” Gu Hai said after turning his head.

“Yes!” Chen Tianshan answered.

A group of evil men entered the mine.

Gu Hai, on the other hand, slowly stepped onto the three-hundred-meter-tall Xiang Yu cloud beast.

Buzz!

The Xiang Yu cloud beast slowly emerged from the ritual array while wielding the halberd as he looked at Fu Xue coldly.

Fu Xue had been forced to move back, which made him feel sullen.

“Roar!”

Suddenly, a roar rang out, causing the dark clouds to stir and send a lightning bolt at the Xiang Yu cloud beast.

Boom!

Xiang Yu’s halberd soared into the air, and a huge halberd qi split the clouds in the sky apart, appearing like it could split the world apart.

Fu Xue roared, and his figure trembled, turning into a one-thousand-six-hundred-meter-long black flood dragon.

“Roar!”

As the flood dragon soared in the air, it roared at Xiang Yu. A storm-like aura erupted around it, prompting the First Song Sect disciples in the distance to kneel down in wors.h.i.+p out of fear.

“I already saw your ugly mug several months ago. Wild beast, are you ready for death?!” Gu Hai roared.

Boom!

The flood dragon swung its tail, suddenly causing five lightning bolts to strike down.

“Xiang Yu is here; break for me!” the Xiang Yu cloud beast roared while glaring.

Xiang Yu swung his halberd again.

Boom!

The lightning immediately exploded, and the halberd continued forward to clash with the flood dragon’s tail without losing momentum.

Boom!

This ma.s.sive impact shook the ground and mountains. While the flood dragon’s tail bounced back, the halberd bounced back as well.

Gu Hai still glowered at the flood dragon. However, it looked at its tail. Then, a furious expression appeared on its face, as this halberd strike had opened a small wound on its tail.

Although the wound was not big, the attack did manage to injure it.

The flood dragon glared at Gu Hai. Huge waves surged in its heart. It knew that the ritual array was ferocious and powerful, but it had not expected the ritual array to be this powerful.

Even though it possessed a strong physical body, the ritual array managed to wound it.

Although Gu Hai put up a ferocious front, he felt very anxious. The flood dragon was stronger than he had expected.

Gu Hai was confident that this ritual array could kill Nascent Soul Realm cultivators like Meng Tai or Li Wei in one strike. However, it only left a small wound on the flood dragon’s body.

The most important thing was that the spirit stones of this spirit stone mine could not support the Xiang Yu cloud beast forever. How long could it last?

The flood dragon seemed angered.

“Roar!”

A dragon roar rang out as the flood dragon tried to grab Gu Hai.

Gu Hai focused as he waited.

“I am the Hegemon-King of Western Chu. Insignificant fellow, how dare you be so impudent?!” the Xiang Yu cloud beast bellowed.

Rumble…!

Xiang Yu started brandis.h.i.+ng his halberd. The halberd strikes became like bolts of heavenly punishment, striking at the flood dragon and lightning intensely.

Rumble…!

Rain filled the sky, and mud flew everywhere. The entire battlefield turned muddy.

True to its nature, the flood dragon grew more ferocious the more injured it got. It sent out lightning over and over again as it pounced at Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu’s halberd danced around; like a meat grinder, it struck the lightning and the flood dragon over and over again. The battle intensified as time went by, even blasting some of the surrounding peaks.

The rain practically turned the surroundings into a sea.

“Ah! Quickly run!”

“Retreat!”

The group of First Song Sect disciples continuously moved back in horror.

There was no way to barge into the Twenty-Eight Line-Pair World Ritual Array. Furthermore, arrows continuously shot out. The intense shock waves from Gu Hai and the flood dragon’s battle swept the surroundings; they were not something to come in contact with casually.

Everyone goggled as they retreated. The battle before them surpa.s.sed all their expectations.

“Gu Hai…Gu Hai is indeed ferocious and strong!”

“Fortunately, I did not barge in earlier!”

“How great it would be if I could eat his heart and liver!”

“It must be delicious!”

The First Song Sect disciples marveled at the scene as they retreated.

Rumble…!

The center of the battlefield was chaotic; sand and mud filled the place, and stones flew everywhere.

The flood dragon grew increasingly ferocious the longer the battle dragged on.

Gu Hai’s anxiety escalated. With the protracted battle, the spirit stones from the spirit stone mine would soon be completely drained. Once the spirit stones ran out of energy, the ritual array would break, and it would be over for him.

At this moment, the flood dragon also felt horrified. Gu Hai had already inflicted more than one hundred wounds on it. Although these were all superficial injuries, it had rarely met with such an intense and miserable battle. That halberd seemed simply unrivaled.

The two kept their thoughts to themselves as they continued fighting.

——

At the Gold Armor Water Crystal Ritual Array, Gao Xianzhi silently led his subordinates out.

Now, the exit appeared even more chaotic than earlier. The flooded place was like a sea as stone and sand pelted down from all directions. A large number of First Song Sect disciples scrambled about like headless chickens.

Gao Xianzhi’s subordinates had just donned the First Song Sect’s uniform. Then, they took advantage of the chaos to make a speedy departure.

At this moment, even though there were many people, no one noticed.

Gao Xianzhi’s group slipped away quickly.

As Gao Xianzhi’s group left, the evil men could not help looking towards the center of the battlefield. That earth-shaking scene made them gulp.

“To think that Milord’s formation is so powerful?”

“That halberd is simply too ferocious, unrivaled!”

Everyone felt shocked and marveled at this sight.

“Cut the c.r.a.p. Hurry up and regroup with Milord!” Gao Xianzhi ordered seriously.

“Yes!”

As the evil men left, they encountered some First Song Sect disciples who felt suspicious of them. However, with Gao Xianzhi in command, everything went fine despite some surprises. The group quickly vanished from everyone’s sight.

Rumble…!

The battle continued for another hour. Gu Hai grew increasingly anxious, as the spirit stones’ energy was running out. The ritual array would not last for much longer.

Whoos.h.!.+

Suddenly, a flare soared into the sky from a distant peak.

This firework did not stand out amid the lightning, thunder, and wild battle. Only a few people noticed it, but they did not pay much attention to it. However, Gu Hai’s eyes lit up, as that was a firework he gave Gao Xianzhi.

“Hah!” Xiang Yu suddenly roared.

“Where are the sons of Jiangdong, my vast army?! Follow me and kill this prey!” Xiang Yu’s voice shook the world.

“Hoo-ah!”

“Hoo-ah!”

“Hoo-ah!”

“Hoo-ah!”

Suddenly, loud shouts came from the ritual array, sounding like a vast army appearing.

The flood dragon suddenly quivered, stopping its previously frantic attacks.

“Roar!”

Boom!

The flood dragon clashed with Xiang Yu again. Then, its figure flashed, immediately going far away.

Whoos.h.!.+

Xiang Yu suddenly stopped.

A ma.s.sive banner slowly emerged from the foggy ritual array as if a large mounted army was being summoned.

The flood dragon had heard the First Song Sect disciples describe the ritual array previously. A vast army?

It already found dealing with one cloud beast difficult. Now, a vast army was coming. Could it still flee if a vast army appeared?

“What ritual array is this?” the flood dragon roared in uncertainty and hesitation.

However, the vast army did not appear, and Xiang Yu did not give chase.

Xiang Yu glared at the flood dragon and said, “Beast, if you are that capable, then come back; don’t run. Fight another three hundred rounds with me!”

The flood dragon suddenly narrowed its eyes. “You can only remain there, unable to chase me?”

“Beast, come over if you have the courage!” Gu Hai shouted.

The flood dragon went around the ritual array, and indeed, Xiang Yu refused to come out. It appeared that Xiang Yu could not leave that area.

“A ritual array will forever just be a ritual array! Humph!” the flood dragon scoffed.

After suffering more than one hundred wounds, the flood dragon now knew the horror of the ritual array, so it did not want to take any more risks.

“Humph! Coward!” Gu Hai sneered.

Rumble…!

Xiang Yu brought Gu Hai into the ritual array, hiding there out of everyone’s sight.

The flood dragon’s figure trembled, turning back into human form. Although he was ferocious by nature, it did not mean that he was stupid. What was the point of continuing a fight that he could not win?

——

Inside the ritual array:

After Gu Hai dismissed Xiang Yu, Scar and the others immediately came over.

“Milord, the spirit stones in the ritual array are almost drained!” Scar said with a complicated expression.

“How did it go?” Gu Hai asked seriously.

“We made it through. We dug a tunnel in this spirit mine all night and finally got through to the other side!” Scar said excitedly.

“Quickly, leave before the flood dragon comes back!” Gu Hai ordered seriously.

“Yes!”

The group of evil men followed Gu Hai, rus.h.i.+ng into the spirit mine.

Rumble…!

In the blink of an eye, everyone in the ritual array left.

Outside, the flood dragon circled the ritual array, trying to find a way to break it. It coldly studied the ritual array, but there seemed to be no way to break it, which gave him a headache.

“The Twenty-Eight Line-Pair World Ritual Array? From the Innate Puzzle World? From Old Mister Guan Qi? Old Mister Guan Qi indeed lives up to his reputation. There is no way to break this formation!” The flood dragon showed an extremely unsightly expression.

“Primogenitor, it’s not good! Primogenitor!” Suddenly, a shout came from the distance.

Fu Xue turned his head and saw a blood-covered spirit-a.s.similated man being carried out of the Gold Armor Water Crystal Ritual Array.

“Huh? Weren’t you supposed to be on guard?” Fu Xue asked coldly.

“Someone barged into the sect earlier and entered the prison!” that person said anxiously.

“What?” Fu Xue’s expression changed.

Whoos.h.!.+

Fu Xue stretched out his hand, and a suction appeared, pulling that spirit-a.s.similated cultivator over. Then, he grabbed that spirit-a.s.similated cultivator’s neck.

“What did you say? Long Wanqing’s guards fled?” Fu Xue demanded coldly.

“No…No, they are still there. Primogenitor’s ritual array locked them in; no one can bring them away!” that spirit-a.s.similated cultivator immediately a.s.sured.

“Get to the point!” Fu Xue glared.

“This subordinate recognized the invader. It was Gao Xianzhi, Gu Hai’s subordinate. He led a group of people into the ritual array earlier and killed all the guards. This subordinate managed to survive but fainted. When I woke up, they were gone. However, the prison was opened. They should have met with the prisoners!” that person quickly said in fear.

“Gu Hai’s subordinate? So, that was just a ruse earlier? To let him enter the prison? I fell for his trick?” Fu Xue said with a ferocious expression.

“It seems like it!” that person said bitterly.

“You can die now!” Fu Xue shouted.

Bang!

That person exploded.

Fu Xue suddenly charged towards the Twenty-Eight Line-Pair World Ritual Array.

“Break!”

Fu Xue tried sending a palm strike at the ritual array. The previously impenetrable ritual array exploded.

However, there was no one at all around or in the valley.

“How could this be?” the countless spirit-a.s.similated cultivators exclaimed.

Fu Xue waved his hand.

Bang!

The surrounding ground exploded, revealing pits filled with spirit stones. However, they were no longer spirit stones, just powder.

Countless spirit stones had been reduced to powder.

Only three pits still contained medial-grade spirit stones—no more than one hundred.

Only a small portion remained?

“Gu Hai tricked me earlier? He was already a spent force? The ritual array would have broken if I just charged over?” Fu Xue said hatefully, showing a ferocious and furious expression.
