Chapter 1005: The Five Stunned Ancestors
The five Emperor Realm ancestors attacked simultaneously, forming the strongest lineup Liu Zixuan had faced since responding to the enemy.
Although all five had suffered injuries to varying degrees, in this situation, their presence couldn’t be underestimated.
Watching the Nameless Emperor Realm experts launch attacks together, Liu Zixuan shouted to Zhao Yi, Ye Lianyi, and others: "Hurry and leave!"
At that moment, Ye Lianyi and others truly wanted to fight alongside Liu Zixuan.
But they also understood that if they went head to head, it would inevitably end in mutual destruction, which was extremely unfavorable for Liu Zixuan’s side against the Celestial Dao Alliance at the moment.
Fortunately, the Shi Family ancestor remained somewhat calm, directly pulling Zhao Yi and Ye Lianyi to one side.
A crisp sword clang sounded out as the Nameless Sword unsheathed abruptly, transforming into several sword beams, attacking the five Emperor Realm ancestors first.
"A firefly dares to compete with the bright moon!"
The Zhong Family ancestor sneered, as a weapon suddenly appeared in his hand, shattering a sword beam before piercing through the air towards Liu Zixuan’s chest.
Seeing this, Liu Zixuan’s eyes hardened, with the sword’s clang turning into a dragon’s roar.
The Power of the Dragon Veins infused the Nameless Sword, causing Liu Zixuan’s aura to surge wildly.
Indeed, he had reached the Innate Emperor Realm, but not by breaking through using the Power of the Five Elements, rather by the strongest Power of the Dragon Veins!
The dragon’s roar echoed throughout the valley, and the terrifying gust of energy instantly halted the Zhong Family ancestor’s attack.
Touched by the scene, the other four ancestors paused significantly, furrowing their brows, and then directly surrounded Liu Zixuan.
In an east-south-west-north alignment, with the Zhong Family ancestor as the main attacker, they launched a direct assault towards Liu Zixuan.
There was simply no escape in any direction, front or back, up or down.
"Do you really think this young master is easy to crush?"
A grin appeared on Liu Zixuan’s lips, and several Ghost Gate Needles suddenly shot forth from his fingers, instantaneously forming the Nine Dragon Qiankun Array in its strongest defensive state!
Clang!
Clang!
A series of attacks were repelled by the array, leaving the surrounding ancestors with looks of surprise!
"No wonder this Liu Zixuan has survived pursuit by the Celestial Dao Alliance for so long, he really has a lot of tricks up his sleeve!"
Cold light swirled in Liu Zixuan’s eyes as he scanned the surrounding Nameless Emperor Realm ancestors, "So, do you think you can still kill me today?"
"You think you’re the only one with tricks?"
The Zhong Family ancestor exchanged a glance with the other ancestors: "He’s using an array, then we shall too. Array against array, even if we can’t kill him, we can severely injure him!"
"Alright!"
The figures of the other four ancestors immediately became ghostly, quickly moving around Liu Zixuan.
With a loud cry from several ancestors, Liu Zixuan suddenly felt a powerful pressure sweep towards him.
The array positioned by several ancestors was an attack array, using themselves as the array’s eye, with Liu Zixuan’s Nine Dragon Qiankun Array as the array base.
Undoubtedly, this was a move that made Liu Zixuan’s efforts in vain.
If Liu Zixuan continues to use the array, they will utilize the advantage of the attack array to deplete Liu Zixuan’s inner strength.
But if he withdraws the array, he will immediately be subjected to the most violent attack from several ancestors!
Seeing Liu Zixuan’s expression become more grim, the Zhong Family ancestor sneered: "What? Are you angry that the array you painstakingly arranged is being used by us?"
Liu Zixuan wasn’t angry; this was within his expectations.
Although he hadn’t anticipated them using his Nine Dragon Qiankun Array, with his current strength, defeating five Emperor Realm experts was a complete impossibility. Liu Zixuan never thought he could overpower and defeat the five Emperor Realm ancestors.
What he just did was merely buying time for Ye Lianyi and the others to leave.
Of course, it was also a probe into these ancestors’ strengths, knowing oneself and the enemy assures one of success in a hundred battles, only by truly understanding the enemy can one find the chance to defeat them!
Seeing Liu Zixuan remain silent, the sneers on the faces of several ancestors grew even more pronounced.
They felt Liu Zixuan’s demise was approaching.
Immediately, they exchanged glances and poured their inner strength into the array to continue attacking Liu Zixuan.
Forcing him to withdraw the array would quickly spell his death in this world.
Feeling the ever-increasing pressure, Liu Zixuan furrowed his brow slightly, formed a seal with both hands, and infused the Nameless Sword with the Power of the Dragon Veins once more.
The Nameless Sword flew out of his hand, under the control of the Sword Spirit, helping him fend off the attacks, while Liu Zixuan freed his hands and quietly retrieved all the Ghost Gate Needles.
Secretly, he flicked the Ghost Gate Needles to the edge of the array!
Once all was done, Liu Zixuan’s face briefly showed a strange smile, directly waving his hand and dismissing the Nine Dragon Qiankun Array.
Several ancestors looked up, immediately burst into laughter.
The Zhong Family ancestor mocked: "What? Prepared to surrender and face death after being unable to defend?"
"So let’s see if you can kill me!" Liu Zixuan laughed mockingly.
"Now that he’s without protection from the array, seize this chance to kill him!"
The Zhong Family ancestor shouted.
"Unfortunately, if you had attacked before speaking just now, you might have posed some threat to me, but now... it’s too late!"
As Liu Zixuan’s words fell, the Ghost Gate Needles originally shot to the edge of the array emitted a blinding light, and an immensely powerful fluctuation directly surged towards the ancestors.
It was like a giant wave rising on the ocean, instantly destroying the attack array set by several Emperor Realm ancestors, followed by the wave-like fluctuation transforming into an array that directly attacked the ancestors.
"This... how is it possible!"
"When did you set up another array!"
Several Emperor Realm ancestors stood dumbfounded.
While the Nameless Sword autonomously helped Liu Zixuan resist their attacks, Liu Zixuan secretly used the Ghost Gate Needles to set up another array, which was the Big Dipper Killing Array from the Star Map, a powerful array that was part of Lingxiu Village’s formation.
To be sure, the array the ancestors had set up was based on the Nine Dragon Qiankun Array. When Liu Zixuan withdrew the array, the array base disappeared, causing the array to destabilize. In that instant, he immediately activated the array, and this killing array devoured the ancestors’ array, turning into a counterattack force, directed at them.
They were shocked, not because this array could cause them lethal damage, but surprised by Liu Zixuan’s mastery over arrays.
After all, these elderly people who had lived almost a hundred years could not set up arrays consecutively in an instant, so how could Liu Zixuan, who just entered the Innate Emperor Realm, manage such a feat!
But in reality, it played out differently, Liu Zixuan not only accomplished it but did so with spectacular success!
Watching them stare blankly, Liu Zixuan smiled playfully: "Messing with arrays in front of me, does not seem to you like performing a stupid act in front of an expert?"
