Chapter 1027: Battle Array Showdown
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Three deafening cries of ’kill’ echoed throughout Willow Manor. Within the battle array formed by over forty people, an overwhelming and terrifying wave burst out, like the collapse of heaven and earth, making hearts tremble!
The injured Jiang Yunxuan and the others gripped their weapons, staring at everything in front of them, unsure of what to do, placing all their hopes on Liu Zixuan.
But Ya Fei frowned, "If it doesn’t work, just run. There’s no shame in that!"
Liu Zixuan’s lips moved slightly, "In my dictionary, there’s never been the word ’run’!"
"But..."
Just as Ya Fei was about to say something, she saw Liu Zixuan tiptoe and leap into the air, a flash of golden light appeared in his hand, and the Nameless Sword suddenly emerged!
The sword’s edge pointed down, gripping the hilt tightly, he suddenly plunged towards the ground from mid-air.
Swish!
The blade pierced directly into the ground, and then, Liu Zixuan suddenly shouted, "Form the array!"
Xiao Bin solemnly nodded, and the numerous shadow guards behind him quickly dispersed to the sides. Soon, they presented the shape of a fan-like battle array!
"This... this is also a battle array!"
Originally intending to persuade Liu Zixuan to leave, Ya Fei was suddenly stunned, murmuring in shock.
Not only was he shocked, but Venerable Wen and the old ancestor of the Willow Association were also extremely astonished.
"When... when did he acquire such skills?" The old ancestor of the Willow Association stammered with wide eyes.
The shock on Venerable Wen’s face flashed quickly, as if deliberately restrained, he feigned calm and shouted, "It’s nothing but a trick. How could a guy in his twenties possibly learn to control a battle array? It must be some peculiar attack array!"
"Xiao Bin, he’s accusing you all of trickery!" Liu Zixuan teased towards Xiao Bin.
Xiao Bin gave a cold glance at Venerable Wen, then shouted to the shadow guards beside him, "Brothers, Brother Xuan brought us here to feast, so sharpen your knives and forks and open your mouths wide, lest you say it’s not satisfying when we get back!"
"Kill them!"
As Xiao Bin’s words fell, the shadow guards directly attacked the elites of the Primordial Battle Array.
Although the two battle arrays didn’t add up to a hundred people in total, the martial artist struggle was exceptionally grand in momentum. This fight seemed like thousands of troops battling right in Willow Manor.
Indeed, when Liu Zixuan revealed his battle array, it surprised Ya Fei and Venerable Wen.
But now, any discerning person could see that those martial artists in the Primordial Battle Array had already elevated to the Emperor Realm through special secret techniques like elixirs; they were over forty Emperor Realm powerhouses fighting.
On Liu Zixuan’s side, besides him, there were very few in the battle array who broke through to the Acquired Emperor Realm!
Thus, the odds were not in their favor!
Ya Fei sighed, "Originally, I was here to help you with transactions, but I didn’t expect the Netherworld Hall to directly send Venerable Wen with the battle array. We probably can’t help you much now."
Ya Fei valued the transaction with Liu Zixuan.
But now, her words carried more worry and apology.
After all, she promised Liu Zixuan that she would help him deal with the Celestial Dao Alliance. Although she helped a bit just now, Venerable Wen’s arrival rendered them unable to assist. It still depended on Liu Zixuan himself.
The current situation remained very critical, and what Ya Fei could do was to stay and help as much as she could. As for the transaction... maybe this time, it’s not feasible!
Watching the parties engage in battle, the feigned calm on Venerable Wen’s face gradually faded, replaced by a solemn expression.
According to Ya Fei’s thinking, he should be reveling in pride right now.
Because the strength of his battle array far exceeded that of Liu Zixuan’s side. But that’s because Ya Fei didn’t understand battle arrays.
A battle array is a type of array, but it’s more akin to a person.
It requires the body’s parts to reach complete synchronization to efficiently accomplish tasks.
His Primordial Battle Array is very strong, but after a round, he also noted the advantage on Liu Zixuan’s side.
That is the cooperation of the numerous shadow guards is more harmonious; in the battle array, the realm advantage isn’t significant! A more important factor is the battle and the array, where the battle is the harmony of people, whether the unified strength can be maximized post-collation.
The so-called array is the Battle Array Map. The Primordial Battle Array Map is just an ordinary map, while after observing, Liu Zixuan’s battle array map is deeper and more profound.
"He is indeed a tough opponent!"
After a while, Venerable Wen said in a low voice.
The old ancestor of the Willow Association frowned, "Could it be that even you cannot..."
Venerable Wen immediately raised his hand to interrupt him, snorting coldly, "Are you questioning the strength of the Netherworld Hall?"
"I dare not!" The old ancestor of the Willow Association instantly broke into a cold sweat, feeling the intense killing intent in Venerable Wen’s tone!
Venerable Wen watched the engaging battle arrays, suddenly let out a low roar, brought out two weapons, and charged directly towards Liu Zixuan.
"What? Feeling you’re going to lose and jumping in desperation?" Liu Zixuan teased with a smile.
Venerable Wen snorted coldly, "Though I don’t know what kind of luck you stumbled upon to acquire such a profound battle array map, you should have not been in contact with this battle array for long!"
"What do you mean?" Liu Zixuan frowned and asked.
"The one who leads the battle array can merge with the battle array’s full power!"
As Venerable Wen spoke, he had already reached the front of the mixed battle array, suddenly shouted, and the martial artists turned direction, channeling their inner strength towards him.
At this moment, the scene was equivalent to earlier when everyone combined their power for attack, but now this power was being transferred to Venerable Wen!
Venerable Wen’s aura suddenly surged, an immense and terrifying presence blanketing the entire manor, like he could destroy everything here with a wave of his hand.
Feeling this mighty energy, Venerable Wen glanced at Liu Zixuan from high above, "No matter how strong your battle array map is, the battle array without a soul is still a dead thing! Now that I’ve controlled the entire Primordial Battle Array, killing you is like squashing an ant."
As he spoke, Venerable Wen showed a sinister smile, "Don’t worry, after your death, I will safeguard your battle array map and will kill all your people, and definitely won’t spare those martial artists within your Relic Pearl either!"
"Demon!"
Hearing his words, Liu Zixuan instinctively cursed under his breath.
Someone who doesn’t regard human life as human life, what else is he but a demon!
"Hahahaha!" Venerable Wen laughed heartily, "Yes, I am a demon, if it allows me to ascend to the emperor’s throne and unify the Martial Realm, what of rivers of blood and heaps of corpses!"
Liu Zixuan gripped the Nameless Sword tightly, filled with rage, he immediately drew the long sword and charged towards him!
