Chapter 786 - 878 Xuan Kui
"Just you lot, a mere rabble."
The words of Chen Mo fell on the crowd’s ears, and they immediately became furious.
"Arrogant."
"Ignorant brat."
"Let’s go together, let’s give him a lesson."
Waves of surging True Qi erupted from their bodies.
Chen Mo let out a cold laugh and no longer paid attention to their taunts, his eyes slowly closing.
The disciples from various schools were taken aback by Chen Mo’s actions, but before they could say anything, they saw a blood-colored small flag, surrounded by thunder, appear in Chen Mo’s palms. He gently waved it and shouted softly, "Thunder Urgent Profound Kui Array, rise!"
With those words, the array banners previously buried by Chen Mo in the various parts of the forest, hidden in the void, all revealed themselves to the crowd, suspended between heaven and earth. These array banners shot out strands of lightning, connecting all the flags together.
Buzz!
In the next moment, ripples of True Qi spread out, causing the surrounding air to fluctuate.
A huge array appeared beneath everyone’s feet.
Crackle!
Instantly, the air above the entire forest began to rapidly distort, with dazzling silver arcs of electricity starting to spread through the air.
An unsettling aura filled everyone’s hearts.
"Together!"
Everyone exchanged a glance, disregarding any pride, and with a fierce shout, they rushed towards Chen Mo and his three companions, showing no mercy.
Buzz!
As Chen Mo opened his eyes, the array on the ground rapidly began to rotate, ultimately transforming into a nearly thousand-foot thunder array that sealed off this entire space, with countless lightning bolts spreading out.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Countless dazzling silver lightning bolts surged out within the Thunder Array, without any rules or warnings, causing the entire space to tremble under the waves of lightning.
Aaah!
Screams resonated, as these lightning bolts pierced through the sky, striking them fiercely. Everyone’s hair stood on end, their skeletal structure clearly visible under the lightning.
Streams of green light shot out from the green runes on their chests, enveloping them, and soon after disappearing, their figures vanished as well.
Evidently, some people with lower strength were judged by the runes that these lightning bolts posed a threat to their lives, and thus were transported out.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Once the Thunder Urgent Profound Kui Array was set, it wouldn’t stop easily, with countless silver lightning bolts permeating the array.
Visible True Qi shockwaves rippled out, seemingly dispersing even the air, causing strong winds that ravaged the forest and mountains.
Wang Di, Xu Yong, and their team, bound by the array, couldn’t approach Chen Mo and had to continuously guard against the majestic force carried by the lightning.
Their faces turned slightly pale.
Under such high-intensity bombardment, even Nascent Soul Realm experts found it somewhat unbearable.
Soon, among the two hundred people in the array, only about fifty remained.
These were all cultivators with Nascent Soul Realm cultivation.
Other contestants were all eliminated by the array.
This scene caused an uproar outside.
"Thunder Urgent Profound Kui Array! How is this possible, how can he set up such a large array!"
"Violation, this is a violation, the Thunder Urgent Profound Kui Array can trap even Divinity Transformation Realm experts, he’s merely a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, according to the rules, this is a violation."
"Disqualify him from the competition."
The contestants who were eliminated just now included disciples from various schools, so the public immediately expressed their dissatisfaction when they discovered the Thunder Urgent Profound Kui Array.
Zuoqiu Yiren took a long drink from a bottle before standing up to address the issue.
"Firstly, this is an array engraved inside an Initial Grade Dao Artifact, according to the rules, Initial Grade Dao Artifacts can be used. Secondly, although this is a Thunder Urgent Profound Kui Array, Chen Mo neither summoned the Profound Kui nor released Nascent Soul power lightning, how can it be considered a violation? If he truly violated the rules, they would have been eliminated the moment the array started." Zuoqiu Yiren said.
The crowd evidently did not believe Zuoqiu Yiren’s words and turned their gaze toward the Sect Leaders of various schools standing in the void.
Seeing that the thirty-six Sect Leaders were unmoved, it was clear that everything Chen Mo did was within the permissible range of the rules.
Upon seeing this, the entire venue was shaken.
Especially Han Zijing, of her three disciples, only Xu Yong was still struggling to hold on. If he were eliminated, her assessment for the Daoist Alliance would be a total failure.
Han Zijing’s face turned gloomy as she sent a transmission to Zuoqiu Yiren: "Was this all part of your plan?"
Zuoqiu Yiren cast a faint glance at Han Zijing and responded via transmission: "Brought it upon yourself."
...
"Profound Kui Suppression!"
A cool glint flashed through Chen Mo’s black eyes, and a low shout arose from within as his hands formed seals.
Boom!
Silver lines exploded with a dazzling dark light from the array, although the array was silver, the light was dark, resembling yin and yang, a massive dark beam shot out from the array.
Boom!
As the beam surged out, it pulsated and transformed into a human figure.
On this figure’s forehead was a talisman paper, with the words "Saint’s Decree" written on it.
"Profound Kui?!"
Xu Yong, as a young elite disciple of the Mixed Element Sect, naturally recognized the Profound Kui.
Legend has it that Profound Kui was crafted by a higher-up of the Maoshan Sect in Daoism, possessing an indestructible body, impervious to weapons, and understanding yin and yang because it was a dead object, unafraid of pain, swift as lightning.
Often used by the Maoshan Sect as Guardians to protect disciples from harm while venturing out.
The Profound Kui summoned by Chen Mo was determined by his power, to comply with the rules, and since there were two array banners he didn’t implant before due to the lack of arrays, the Profound Kui summoned this time had the strength of Nascent Soul Realm perfection.
"Go."
Chen Mo pointed at Wang Di, deciding to eliminate him first.
Since he dared to toy with him, he would target him first.
Boom!
The Profound Kui fully obeyed Chen Mo’s command, its speed was rapid, launching a punch towards Wang Di.
"Help me block it."
Wang Di’s face changed drastically, he detested Chen Mo.
He pulled out an Upper Grade Magical Artifact, it was his trump card.
It was a dark golden disc, into which he channeled all his True Qi.
The others, seeing this, quickly moved to intercept the Profound Kui, buying time for Wang Di.
But in the next moment.
With a crack, Wang Di’s dark golden disc shattered inch by inch, his face turning pale and shocked.
A black sword tip pierced through his Upper Grade Magical Artifact, then stabbed into his chest, green light flared.
"Merak Flying Sword!"
Outside, an uproar ensued.
