Chapter 677 - 511: Blood Tree Master
As the Yunshan disciples lined up in formation, Xiao Tianci sighed lightly at the front of the formation.
This matter does not align with my Sword Dao. However, for the camaraderie of the entire sect, I will compromise.
Yang Jiye’s expression was complicated. Tianci is actually quite right; our Yunshan Sect is a renowned upright sect and should not engage in such conduct. Whatever cause is planted, such will be the effect, and harming others for personal gain likely leads to considerable guilt.
Moreover, although there’s a degree of certainty, we cannot rule out unexpected events. If the losses are too great, how will we explain that to the Sect Leader?
But no matter what, Yunxing, this child, is still Senior Brother Tan’s successor. I’ve watched him grow up, how could I not care?
Li Da’s demeanor was tense as he stood in the center of the formation, waiting quietly for Yang Jiye to issue his orders.
After standing quietly for a moment, Tan Yunxing pleaded once more, "Elder Yang..."
Yang Jiye gritted his teeth and commanded in a low voice, "Attack as planned!"
"Form the array!" Li Da called out in a low voice, "Yushan Battle Array, Vast Sea Stars!"
At this moment, in the Sea of Consciousness of each of the hundred Inner Sect disciples of Yunshan, an "Array Core" dimly lit up. With each breath, everyone’s Spiritual Power gradually adjusted to the same frequency.
𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
A point of starlight lit up on everyone’s forehead, a hundred stars softly twinkled in the sky, and a faintly visible, silver-glowing network gradually emerged, linking these hundred Yunshan elite closely together.
The silver net gradually expanded, slowly forming a stretch of silver light. Power converged, cultivation merged, resonating at the same frequency, with their aura continuously strengthening.
With Li Da at the core, the power of a hundred disciples fused into one. This immense feeling made him feel elated, but he quickly suppressed it.
Still not enough. For many years, it’s been tested that two hundred elite disciples are needed to form a Battle Array that can stably exert the power of the Early Stage of Golden Core. Now, with only a hundred, facing a true Golden Core could only have a limited effect.
But since Elder Yang has already ordered, one can only hope for his methods.
"Attack!" Li Da waved heavily, and the Vast Sea Stars quaked in unison. A gigantic silver crescent of starlight shot out suddenly, striking heavily on the mountaintop’s Grand Array.
With a loud rumble, the Grand Array’s Spiritual Qi surged wildly, and layers upon layers of barriers shattered continuously. This Foundation Establishment level Six Harmonies Grand Array wobbled violently with just one strike, shaking the Array Realm continuously.
In an instant, deep roars sounded, and all the blood leaves on the mountain shuddered.
"Scoundrels! You’re courting death!"
Once action was taken, there was no room for retreat. Yang Jiye commanded in a low voice, activated the Dao Pattern, and with a flash of the Purple Qi Celestial Net, six Spiritual Artifacts flew through the air, striking heavily on the Grand Array.
Crystal Sword, Bone-Transforming Sword, Wind-Chasing Hammer, Star-Breaking Hammer, Cyan Thunder Saber, Jade-Breaking Saber.
Two swords, two hammers, two sabers. After advancing to the Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment, Yang Jiye could simultaneously control six Spiritual Artifacts through the Purple Qi Celestial Net!
Simultaneously, a clear green Sword Light flashed fleetingly, followed by a sharp, ear-destroying sword howl.
Raging and explosive, the unparalleled force was condensed within a three-foot long sword, with not a hint leaking out. All the sharp Sword Qi was compressed into a single point, gently swung by Xiao Tianci, yet carrying the momentum of thunder, heavily slashing on the Array barrier.
Rahu Fierce Sword: Wind, Fire, and Thunder!
Xiao Tianci had already stepped into the Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment, and after sparring with the Mingyu Sword Sect, his Sword Dao had advanced further, and his strikes became fiercer.
The booming explosions connected into a sequence, and from within the Grand Array came a roar like mountains howling and seas roaring. Looking closely, the trees and vines all over the mountains trembled wildly; the trees uprooted themselves, and branches twisted into arms and legs.
They reached out, turning nearby buds into round hammers, long grass into sharp swords, and vines into layer upon layer of whip locks...
The dense blood-colored forest turned into hundreds of blood-colored humanoid figures, charging at the Grand Array!
This blood-colored forest covering the mountains could actually turn into guardian-like entities, no wonder this Golden Core chose the Six Harmonies Grand Array.
However, as the Yunshan Sect launched a fierce assault, another crescent of starlight fell with a thundering crash, and just as those blood-colored tree-men were about to charge, with a tremendous roar, the Six Harmonies Grand Array was completely shattered.
"Kill them all!" the furious roar of the Golden Core echoed in all directions.
The blood-colored tree-men were silent, raising the hammers and swords in their hands, wielding the whip locks on their bodies, like a tidal wave, charging towards the Yunshan members.
These tree-men had extremely bizarre shapes. They stood three zhang tall, with very slender arms and legs, while their heads and torsos were very small, looking more like a large spider with just four limbs. Now, as they surged densely towards them, it made one’s scalp tingle with fear, and a coldness crept into their heart.
"Hold the line!" Li Da called out, "Attack!"
The Spiritual Power of a hundred Inner Sect elites merged, and with a swish, the twenty-zhang long Starlight Moon Blade shot into the ocean of blood-colored tree-men, with a crunching noise, branches flew, limbs shattered, instantly destroying dozens of tree-men.
It turns out the fluctuations of their body were varied in strength; the strong ones were Foundation Establishment level, while the weak ones had scattered Spiritual Pressure, not even comparable to Qi Cultivation. In terms of mass combat, the Yunshan Battle Array never feared!
This battle array formed by a hundred elites, though its might was far from Golden Core level, it was several times stronger than Foundation Establishment Perfection, thus when the Moon Blade slashed down, it cut down like withered wood, with few tree-men able to withstand it.
Yang Jiye and Xiao Tianci exchanged a glance, understanding that at this moment, the Yunshan Battle Array was the leading force. Immediately, the two of them spread their figures, flanking on the left and right, to cover the array, striking fiercely, pinpointing and killing the Foundation Establishment tree-men.
