Chapter 1455 - 515: Evil Array Master
The speed of the mysterious red light was incredibly fast, even the speed of Little Wuya, a member of the Phoenix Clan, might not be able to surpass it.
It hovered above the Water Spirit Array.
Surrounded by the red light, it was difficult to discern whether it was a human or a beast beneath the glow.
It did not immediately activate the Water Spirit Array, seemingly hesitating.
Indeed, the red light felt strange. It had set up Water Spirit Arrays in eighteen villages within Fang Ah County.
Logically speaking, based on the distribution of the Five Spirits in those villages, the Water Spirit Array should only be able to condense a Water Bright Stone once.
However, as it passed through these villages by chance, it found that the Water Spirit Array in the village was reacting again, with fluctuations of the Water Spirit appearing in the sky once more.
Moreover, the newly condensed Water Bright Stone this time had better spiritual power compared to the previous ones.
It vaguely felt that something was amiss, yet upon further thought, these villages were all ordinary Human Clan villages carefully selected by it. Even demon hunters were scarce here, and the Jiu Provinces Alliance was unlikely to pay attention to this area. Nothing formidable should appear here.
Upon considering this, the red light felt reassured and began condensing the Water Bright Stone again.
The river was wide, and the red light hung over the Water Spirit Array like a Little Sun.
A strange chant came forth, although the voice was muffled, it could be clearly heard as a human chanting incantations.
As the chanting grew louder, a Water Bright Stone was forming within the Water Spirit Array.
"It really is an Array Master. Brothers, quickly seize him!"
The members of the Tian Jun team couldn’t hold back any longer. Seeing the opponent’s array, Captain An could no longer contain himself.
They sprang out from behind the boulders, pouncing like hungry wolves.
"Who dares to commit evil in Fang Ah County? I am An Qingxiao, captain of the Tian Jun representative team stationed at Fang Ah County."
Captain An bellowed.
"These fools!"
Little Wuya nearby saw this and almost fell off the tree in anger.
They were both team leaders of the Ninth-Tier Representative Team, but why was Captain An so foolish!
Captain An charged forward, and with that sharp cry, he rapidly moved and leaped into the Water Spirit Array.
He knew the "Array Master’s" target was the Water Bright Stone.
Assuming the Water Bright Stone must be something good too, Captain An’s greed surged, and he grabbed the Water Bright Stone in one swoop.
At the instant of grabbing the Water Bright Stone, Captain An’s face lit up with joy, but a cold, bone-chilling sensation spread through his hand.
The Water Bright Stone suddenly flashed blue, a deep cold Water Spirit burst forth from the Water Bright Stone.
Captain An’s hand holding the Water Bright Stone quickly froze over. He yelped, his right hand turned blue-green, and he couldn’t move it at all.
Captain An had no idea that this Water Bright Stone wasn’t an ordinary one. It was formed by the Spiritual Spring Water Spirit within Ye Lingyue’s Hong Meng Heaven, purified and condensed, its Water Spirit remarkably incredible.
Even an Alchemist at the Fang Venerate Level like Ye Lingyue would have to use spiritual power for protection to dare touch it. Someone like Captain An touching it recklessly was undoubtedly seeking death. "Foolish human! Dare to contaminate my Water Bright Stone."
Upon seeing the once pure Water Bright Stone become muddy and turn into a useless waste stone due to Captain An’s touch,
the "Array Master" within the red light erupted with rage, letting out a harsh, ear-piercing cry.
A massive amount of runes poured out from within the red light.
Those runes spiraled in mid-air, forming a Fire Spirit Array.
Within the Fire Spirit Array, the Fire Spirit was dense, and flames shot out.
The flames sprayed onto the members of the Tian Jun representative team, landed on the river stones, and some flames even flew into the village.
Once the flames touched them, the few team members screamed continuously, their bodies turning into fireballs in an instant.
Even the hard river stones were roasted into powder by the flames in the Fire Spirit Array, leaving not a trace behind, showing the dreadful power of the Fire Spirit Array.
The intensity of this Array Master far exceeded Captain An’s expectations.
In mere moments, it could set up arrays to attack enemies, clearly not what a low-level Array Master would be, but an Intermediate Array Master.
Going against an Intermediate Array Master was undoubtedly seeking death.
Upon seeing this scene, Captain An was scared witless. He abandoned the Water Bright Stone and his companions’ bodies, scrambling and tumbling down the mountain in fright.
"Damn it, dare to ambush me!"
After killing two team members in succession, the red light was still unsatisfied.
It manipulated the Fire Spirit Array, looking with malice towards Shou Village nearby, even contemplating setting the entire Shou Village ablaze in anger.
"Stop! Do not harm innocent villagers!"
Having watched all this unfold, Little Wuya could no longer hold back after seeing through the "Array Master’s" intentions, and flew out.
Amazed by a talking owl attempting to stop him, the "Array Master" within the red light first froze, then burst out in wild laughter.
"I thought it was something fierce, just a human clan’s beast pet. You dare confront me after witnessing the fate of those humans!"
The "Array Master" mistakenly assumed Little Wuya was a beast pet raised by the Tian Jun representative team.
His words were filled with contempt.
"Human clan? You’re not human?"
Little Wuya keenly picked up the anomaly in the opponent’s words.
The opponent wasn’t human, no wonder it was so inhumane, stealing the Water Spirit, and even contemplating burning down an entire village in rage.
Little Wuya grew up with Ye Lingyue, meeting people who were kind to her.
Thus, in her heart, humans and beasts were alike, all living beings, unlike typical Spiritual Beasts or demon beasts who harbored deep resentment towards humans.
"Of course, I am not human. These lowly human clan ants cannot compare with me. I changed my mind, not killing those humans yet, but I’ll kill you this human clan’s lackey first."
With a boom, an enormous Fire Spirit erupted within the Fire Spirit Array.
The fierce, scorching Fire Spirit seemed like countless fire snakes, flying towards Little Wuya.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the terrifying Fire Spirit fell into Little Wuya’s view.
Little Wuya’s pupils narrowed, charging forward.
She fiercely collided with the flames, simultaneously, a powerful spiritual power erupted from within her, red and blue spiritual power shattered the Fire Spirit Array.
The Fire Spirit Array exploded, fragments scattered, the Fire Spirit quickly dissipated.
"What! It didn’t work!"
The "Array Master" within the red light shuddered, seemingly witnessing something beyond belief.
At this moment, as daylight gradually broke, footsteps approached from the direction of Shou Village.
"Just you wait, I will settle this score."
The red light flashed and swiftly disappeared towards the western sky before the crowd could arrive.
