123 Victory (1/2)
”Master Lu, something's not right!”
After a short while, outside the stone maze, the Bone Melting Sect Sect Master's expression changed. ”The array map is sucking in too much of my elemental force, I can only hold on for a while more!”
”How is this possible?”
Lu Renjia shook his head, surprised. ”Could it be that they are destroying the array from inside, forcing the spiritual array to start repairs and use up more elemental force?”
Although he was not an array master, he still roughly knew about it and did not use the array blindly; it was an accurate prediction.
”A single Wu Zong or spiritual knight cannot have such destructive power, they are combining forces!”
”What should we do?”
Bone Melting Sect Sect Master shouted. ”Master Lu, think of an idea!”
”I am an alchemy master, not a spiritual array master, how would I know?”
Lu Jiaren rolled his eyes. ”Even though they might be together, it would still remain difficult to break out of this spiritual array...”
”Ping!”
At the end of his sentence, a loud noise came from the top of the stone array.
”Heavenly fire shall burn the field!!!”
Liu Yan exclaimed, and green flames exploded, causing many large rocks to fly into the sky in all directions.
”Whoosh!”
After the large flame at the top of the array, the entire stone maze started to form web-like cracks spreading throughout the entire array. The spiritual array crumbled down with the sound of breaking wood, like a sandcastle.
”Ah!”
The Bone Melting Sect Sect Master screamed, and looked at the array map in his hands.
At this moment, a small fire grew from the centre of the map and spreaded across the entire map. In a short while, the entire map burnt into ashes.
This was not the doing of Liu Yan, but the one-off nature of the spiritual array map. After usage, it would be destroyed.
”Haha... Lu Renjia, you're good!”
Amidst the dust, Liu Yan stood out. ”Impressive that you could find an array map. If you used it during a battle, I'm afraid my brothers and I would die. Now, it seems like the Heavens want me to take care of you, and destroy you!”
Although he was brimming with confidence, he unknowingly looked at the calm and composed Fang Yuan.
The Secluded Mountain Prefecture Master knew that if not for Fang Yuan's ability to feel around within the array, even he himself would be trapped inside! He had no way to deal with his array.
It seemed that it was heaven's will that his newest alliance member was Fang Yuan, and not any other person!
”Let's go!”
Seeing how Liu Yan and company broke through the array, Lu Renjia and the Bone Melting Sect Sect Master were shocked out of their wits, and unanimously decided to run.
”Follow them!”
Liu Yan would not let this opportunity go, and commanded.
”Iron-tailed Black Eagle!”
Fang Yuan shouted into the sky. From the clouds, the Iron-tailed Black Eagle appeared and landed on the ground, allowing Fang Yuan to easily leap on its back.
”What a pity that my Wind Chasing Falcon is injured, otherwise...”
Taoist Mu Li mumbled to himself, but was not slower than Liu Yan as he sat on the eagle's back.
Even though the Iron-tailed Black Eagle was a spiritual beast and was rather large in size, the addition of three humans on its back made it tired. The remaining three Wu Zongs had to use their own Lightness Skill to chase after Lu Renjia.
”Haha... Lu Renjia! Where can you go?”
Liu Yan stood on the Black Eagle and shouted, while on the other hand as Lu Renjia witnessed this scene, he became desolated.
He never would have guessed that this spiritual eagle had such a spiritual property and would hide in the clouds and only come out once its owner was freed from the stone maze!
As the spiritual beast chased after him, it was almost impossible for him to get away.
”Chirp! Chirp!”
In a moment, the Iron-tailed Black Eagle landed in front of Lu Renjia and blocked his way.
Fang Yuan and Liu Yan jumped down from the eagle's back, and chose their opponents.
Using the analogy of picking the rotten oranges to squeeze, Fang Yuan was against the Bone Melting Sect Sect Master, leaving Lu Renjia to Liu Yan, his nemesis.
As for Taoist Mu Li, he sat on the eagle's back, as his body gave out spiritual light, as though he was preparing some spiritual techniques.
'You cunning old fogey!'
Fang Yuan scolded him in his mind, looked at his opponent, and was not worried a single bit.
Even though the name of Bone Melting Sect Sec Master was well heard-of in the Secluded Mountain Prefecture through the Bone Melting Palm technique used to counter rough techniques, but what more?
Even if his opponent was focused, Fang Yuan was still unafraid; this was disregarding the Sect Master's injury and his depleted elemental force. He was pale and seemed like he would fall without Fang Yuan even touching him.
”Do you have any last words?”
Fang Yuan shook his head and came straight to the point.
”I...”
Bone Melting Sect Sect Master could recognise Fang Yuan.
Among the enemies that he faced today, other than Liu Yan, it was this young man Fang Yuan who left the deepest impression in him.
He could disguise himself as a Wu Zong until he used his Ecstasy Spell, which revealed his identity as a spiritual knight, which showed that he had foresight.
Furthermore, Yellow Brothers Sect Sect Master, who was on par with him, also died under Fang Yuan's claw!
Now that Fang Yuan focused on him, together with the other three Wu Zongs, and another spiritual knight from above, he had nowhere to go!
He was in such a dire situation; Lu Renjia wasn't any better.
”Thief Lu!”
Looking at the desolate Lu Renjia, Liu Yan was excited. ”On the day when you betrayed me, did you ever think that this day would come?”
