I Have a Compass for Opportunity

Equivalent to Liou Yuan’s previous plan, the idea of hiding within the array and waiting for rescue has also fallen through.

Now, the only option is to step out of this Earth Mother Prison Array and join forces with Yan Yingsi to confront that Golden Core descendant.

The risks are undoubtedly great, but it’s not entirely without hope. It’s definitely better than waiting for Xu Hetong to break the array and face certain death.

"With the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array, and Yan Yingsi having a Foundation Establishment Magical Artifact, if I activate the Evil Eyes, my power can also increase significantly, perhaps not completely hopeless."

Liou Yuan’s thoughts raced as he assessed the strength of both sides.

He was about to fully grasp the Geng Metal Refining Form Skill.

Geng Metal Spiritual Qi had been refined to seven layers, and he could already utilize the advantages of Geng Metal Spiritual Qi, coupled with the Evil Eyes and a plethora of techniques, making it impossible for Xu Hetong to ignore him.

On the battlefield, any delay could impact the outcome of the battle.

While Liou Yuan’s mind was rapidly calculating, Xu Hetong had already pushed significantly forward, enduring the power of the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array, getting less than ten yards from the Earth Mother Prison Array.

Any further indecision, and they’d only be passively beaten.

"I’m going out with you!" Liou Yuan seemed to have made up his mind, the words squeezed out from between his teeth.

The dispute between Liou Yuan and Yan Yingsi was heard by the disciples of the Wind Chasing Division.

But regardless of whether it was Liou Yuan or Yan Yingsi, neither’s cultivation realm could be matched by the disciples of the Wind Chasing Division.

So they wisely remained silent, waiting for the strongest two in their Wind Chasing Division to make the decision.

When they heard Liou Yuan finally resolved to go out and fight, a look of anticipation, and of course, worry, flashed in the disciples’ eyes.

If they lost this battle, the Wind Chasing Division from the Fifth Branch of the Outer Sect Disciplinary Hall would be eliminated.

"Good!" Yan Yingsi was waiting for Liou Yuan to say this, and her eyes lit up upon hearing it.

Before leaving, she suddenly turned to sternly command those severely injured disciples within the array: "Wind Chasing Division disciples, heed my orders."

"Present!" Those disciples, even though barely breathing, stood up with all their strength, responding with the loudest voice they could muster.

"Enter the array."

Yan Yingsi pointed at several array nodes, casting a steely expression at the severely injured disciples: "Life and death are at stake, we either perish here or return victorious."

Forcing those disciples, who could barely stand, to enter the array as spiritual power suppliers was indeed excessive.

But this was a battle of no return.

In terms of danger, Yan Yingsi, stepping out with Liou Yuan, faced the greatest peril.

The disciples of the Wind Chasing Division understood this deeply, none of them objected, everyone struggled along to the array nodes.

Those whose legs had been severed by Demon Cultivators, unable even to stand, crawled with their hands to the array nodes, exerting their last efforts for this battle.

The Wind Chasing Division, all ten members, gathered as one.

With their continuous supply of spiritual power, the power of the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array increased once more.

Previously navigating the array effortlessly, Xu Hetong’s advance was visibly hindered.

"Indeed worthy as an elite congregation of the Five Extremes Mountain’s Wind Chasing Division, none falters in crucial moments." Liou Yuan observed all this, feeling slightly moved.

Meanwhile, Yan Yingsi turned her head, gazing at Liou Yuan.

The latter instantly understood, pointing a finger at the array barrier of the Earth Mother Prison Array, tearing a gap open.

Liou Yuan and Yan Yingsi slipped through the gap, which closed again once they were through.

Standing outside the array barrier of the Earth Mother Prison Array, Xu Hetong was now less than five yards away.

This Golden Core descendant, who had withstood the onslaught of the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array’s power all the way to the Earth Mother Prison Array, looked at Liou Yuan and Yan Yingsi emerging voluntarily, surprise flashing in his eyes.

Soon, his signature disdainful expression returned.

"Such commendable courage!"

"You’re not even at Foundation Establishment yet, how can you be so arrogant." Liou Yuan’s Evil Eyes locked with Xu Hetong’s dark golden eyes, directly confronting the Golden Core descendant’s sharpness, showing no trace of fear.

Seeing the brilliance flickering in Liou Yuan’s eyes, Xu Hetong squinted slightly, seemingly discerning the nature of Liou Yuan’s peculiar eyes, suddenly chuckling: "Interesting, this trip I even encounter such an anomaly like you."

"I’ll gladly accept those eyes of yours."

Xu Hetong’s expression revealed unconcealed greed.

"Take action!" Yan Yingsi was not one for chit-chat before battle.

Amidst Xu Hetong’s gaze fixed on Liou Yuan’s Evil Eyes.

The Red Robe Swallowing Dome Spell activated, Yan Yingsi transformed into a crimson trajectory, being the first to charge towards Xu Hetong.

The C-level skill turned into a crimson curtain covering all directions, attempting to swallow Xu Hetong within.

Xu Hetong slashed out with a blade, a dark radiance cutting through the air, seemingly about to tear the curtain apart.

Judging by the power of his blade skills previously attacking the Earth Mother Prison Array, Yan Yingsi might not be able to fend off this strike.

This was when Liou Yuan also made his move, his Canglan Sword was shattered, fortunately, he still had the Cold Star and Moonlight Bracelet, which transformed into a long sword in his hand with the infusion of his spiritual power.

His move was the Rain Curtain Stealth.

Treading Flowing Waves perfectly complemented the Silent Rain-Slaying Sword Skill, its speed allowing the sword technique’s power to be fully unleashed.

He embodied a blue flash of light, appearing before Xu Hetong in an instant.

Together with Yan Yingsi, they formed a pincer attack on Xu Hetong.

Xu Hetong’s eyes beneath his skull showed no fluctuation, holding a blade in one hand, while extending his other arm to deliver a punch towards Liou Yuan.

The dark golden rays oscillated, causing the air in front to vibrate with sonic booms.

Liou Yuan capitalized on his body’s technique speed, bypassing the range of the dark golden spell, drawing a blue arc trajectory, arriving close to Xu Hetong, his sword point aimed at his heart.

Yan Yingsi also compressed her curtain, dodging the black blade light, the Red Robe transforming into a crimson longsword slashing downward towards Xu Hetong.

Their coordination was flawless.

Clang! Liou Yuan’s Rain Curtain Stealth first struck Xu Hetong’s chest.

The sword light exploded on Xu Hetong’s body, yet the top-grade magical artifact failed to penetrate Xu Hetong’s Nether Bone, only leaving a dent of a sword mark.

This sight furrowed Liou Yuan’s brow, before he could react.

Following, a massive recoil force surged from the Moonlight Sword, spreading to his arm through the sword body, making his arms go slightly numb.

Clang! Yan Yingsi’s blood sword also failed to break the Nether Bone, instead was repelled by the Nether Bone.

Xu Hetong mocked and swung a blade in the direction Yan Yingsi was sent flying, the blade light splitting into over ten strands, sealing off Yan Yingsi’s options for evasion.

Simultaneously, Xu Hetong’s other palm extended towards Liou Yuan, drawing him through the air.

This caused Liou Yuan, who was prepared to retreat after a failed strike, to pause, his body uncontrollably drawn towards Xu Hetong.

What awaited him was Xu Hetong’s fist, charged beneath the coverage of Nether Bone.

On that fist, the dark golden light concentrated in one spot, emanating terrifying waves.
