Chapter 1126: Array Traps the Heroes
Slaughter Pig Array!
Even a pig-brained person could figure out that Liu Zixuan was using the power of the array to mock this Dragon Spirit powerhouse as a pig.
In anger, the Dragon Spirit powerhouse clenched his fists and roared, "After I break the array, I will definitely butcher you!"
"No, no, no, even if you break the array, you can’t kill me. Your elder said to leave me alive!" Liu Zixuan said with a mocking smile.
What does it mean to be hoisted by your own petard, the Dragon Spirit powerhouse perfectly exemplified this saying. Initially, it was because he wanted Liu Zixuan alive that he personally took action, but now, though trapped in the array, he’s shouting that he wants to butcher Liu Zixuan, isn’t this contradictory!
His face flushed, he no longer wanted to converse with Liu Zixuan, then he put away his weapon and carefully inspected the array.
The Ghost Gate Needle transformed into a gaseous coil and formed an array, seeming both real and unreal, both true and false, making it temporarily impossible to find the array’s eye. Fortunately, the Dragon Spirit powerhouse realized the array seems only to be trapping him without launching an attack, otherwise, it would indeed be troublesome.
Liu Zixuan squinted slightly: "Don’t worry, after I trap this bunch of pigs into the array, you can all find a way to break it together!"
After speaking, Liu Zixuan looked down at the experts from three forces fighting alongside Zhao Yi, his lips curving slightly: "Old Zhao, take a break nearby, soon it will be dawn, it wouldn’t be good if you don’t have the strength for breakfast later."
Zhao Yi glared at Liu Zixuan with irritation: "Damn, now you remember me, you had your fun just now."
"Hehe, wasn’t this giving you a chance to practice with the saber!"
After Liu Zixuan finished speaking, a folding fan suddenly appeared in his hand, two golden rays shot directly towards the ’Slaughter Pig Array’, and in an instant, the array expanded rapidly, encompassing the entire courtyard.
Except for Gu Yu and Mo Chengfeng and the leaders from three forces, the other martial artists were all trapped in the array.
Zhao Yi took a deep breath and stood next to Liu Zixuan: "Only two difficult ones left."
"Shall we take one each?" Liu Zixuan asked.
"Alright!" Zhao Yi shrugged with a smile.
They leisurely chatted, while the experts from Netherworld Hall and Mo Hengqiu looked extremely grim.
Dozens of experts from three forces, just like that, were effortlessly trapped by Liu Zixuan in the array? What the hell, what a disgrace!
Hoping to use their greater numbers to capture Liu Zixuan and the others, they didn’t expect to be resolved so lightly.
The Netherworld Hall expert’s expression was solemn, and he asked in a low voice: "During the battle with Qian Nan Celestial Dao Alliance, Liu Zixuan already suffered from our hall master’s Nether Palm. Logically, he wouldn’t survive three months, and now it just happens to be over three months, do you know how he managed it?"
Mo Hengqiu frowned and shook his head: "I know he was injured by the hall master, but I’m not clear on how he’s alive now and even stronger than before. However, I think it has something to do with the old man from the Profound Sword Sect."
"Old man Qing?" The Netherworld Hall expert mused, suddenly recalling something: "During the Celestial Dao Alliance war, that old man Qing indeed appeared with many major figures from hidden families and sects. Could they have suppressed the Nether Palm poison with their cultivation to help Liu Zixuan?"
"But how did his cultivation improve?" Mo Hengqiu asked.
"Maybe those old fellows, while sealing the Nether Palm poison, helped him channel some cultivation, giving him a slight boost in power. However, he remains at the Innate Emperor Realm Second Heaven, the same level as during the Celestial Dao Alliance battle."
The Netherworld Hall expert raised an eyebrow and then whispered: "Let’s engage him first. If we’re not up to it, you block him; I have to report this situation to the hall master!"
"Me block him?" Mo Hengqiu was outwardly surprised, inwardly cussing.
His strength was not even as high as the Dragon Spirit powerhouse, and even that powerhouse was trapped in the array, how could he withstand Liu Zixuan?
The Netherworld Hall expert said seriously, "Now is also the time for you to show loyalty to Netherworld Hall."
Mo Hengqiu gritted his teeth, cooperating with Netherworld Hall was because they promised him significant benefits, like after the war, supporting him to become the number one among the hidden families and sects in Star Sea, meaning ultimately he would be the most formidable aside from Netherworld Hall.
He understood, in this situation, if he wasn’t careful, he might die at Liu Zixuan’s hands. At that point, he wouldn’t even be able to become the head in the Star Sea Martial Realm headquarters, it’d be a miracle to remain intact.
Seeing his hesitation, the Netherworld Hall expert coldly said: "Patriarch Mo, you are a smart person, you should know, the consequences of offending Netherworld Hall would be much worse!"
Indeed, if he defected to Liu Zixuan’s side, not to mention whether Liu Zixuan would accept him or not, just from Netherworld Hall’s standpoint, he can’t afford to offend them. Joining Liu Zixuan might only lead to death, but with Netherworld Hall’s involvement, it’d be worse than death.
The road was his choice, from the moment he stood with Netherworld Hall, the Mo Family ceased to be a hidden family in Star Sea and became a subordinate family of Netherworld Hall.
Clenching his fist, he manipulated himself directly into attacking Liu Zixuan.
"This is someone Cheng Feng explicitly requested, can’t kill, okay?" Liu Zixuan said with a playful smile.
Zhao Yi grinned, "I’ll try to leave him without losing any limbs!"
After speaking, Zhao Yi wielded the Celestial Spirit Saber and charged forward.
Meanwhile, Liu Zixuan looked at the Netherworld Hall expert, sneered, "Before fighting, how about creating a little commotion first?"
"What do you mean?" the Netherworld Hall expert asked in confusion.
Liu Zixuan smiled slightly, flicking another Ghost Gate Needle directly into the ’Slaughter Pig Array’.
In an instant, the originally binding array transformed into a powerful killing array, the entwining Ghost Gate Needle suddenly launched a strong attack, shooting towards the dozens of experts trapped within.
Soon, a series of screams, akin to those of slaughtered pigs, emerged from the array, and fresh blood seeped out, appearing exceptionally massive under the dark night.
Watching his disciples die one by one, the Netherworld Hall expert became increasingly furious, "Liu Zixuan, I know those old fellows like young Qing saved you, but our Netherworld Hall’s Nether Palm poison can’t be completely cured by you. When the poison acts up, let’s see how long you can maintain your smugness!"
"Idiot!" Liu Zixuan laughed and cursed, "Do I look like someone still poisoned?"
"You..." The Netherworld Hall expert scrutinized Liu Zixuan closely, he initially guessed those old fellows temporarily sealed the poison, but anything sealed within a martial artist, cultivation techniques, and such would have an impact, yet Liu Zixuan now, his aura was smooth, without any hint of being sealed.
But he couldn’t comprehend, the completely unsolvable Nether Palm poison, how did Liu Zixuan manage to cure it?
