Chapter 316 - Limit Release (1/2)

Editor: Elitecoder

“It’s too soon to use it!”

Leng Wuchang sighed, “As far as I know, the kid is quite an expert in arrays. The longer the sealed space’s activation is put off, the better, as it would catch him off guard. But…”

“But Qingtian can’t hold on till then.” Huangpu Tianyuan smiled, “Sir Leng, does the punk have any chance of coming out of the array now that it’s activated?”

Leng Wuchang shook his head, “Even as an array grandmaster, his odds are slim at best.”

“It’s fine then. You’re just worried that with enough time he’d see through the array. Since his chances are mostly nonexistent, what’s there to be afraid of?” Huangpu Tianyuan said.

“No, when I move, I make sure to rob even the most minute chance of victory from my enemy. It goes double for increasingly dangerous opponents.” Leng Wuchang’s eyes held a savage glint.

Huangpu Tianyuan laughed mirthless. [A clash between schemers is far crueler than any cultivator’s fight…]

Microcosmic Orbit Array!

Zhuo Fan noticed the 365 Profound Heaven experts around him holding their hands in prayer and sitting down where the core of the array was. This was the 6th grade sealing array, Microcosmic Orbit Array!

Its only function was to seal off space. Set up according to the heavenly directions, a miniature world was formed, trapping anyone within.

Entering it, one would find himself in another world. The only way to escape was by employing dominating might to crush the heaven and earth of this miniature world. Anything less and it could keep even a Radiant Stage expert sealed inside for as long as the controller wished, no matter how much the victim raved.

With space sealed up, Zhuo Fan’s Shift was under lock and key. It was the first time since the start of his battle with Huangpu Qingtian that he felt danger.

This battle was now inevitable and only one outcome was viable, winning or dying. All other choices were now moot…

“Huangpu Qingtian!”

Zhuo Fan’s malice was directed at the snickering man. His fists clenched and purple lightning flashed as he charged.

Huangpu Qingtian did the same. Confident now that his plan was successful in sealing Shift. His eyes glinted sinisterly, meeting his enemy head on.

The two were at a stalemate again, but Huangpu Qingtian felt at ease. The earlier lashing had been miserable, robbing him of any chance to fight back. But now that he could display his overbearing might, he was filled with utter joy.

The two clashed for two hundred more rounds, with Huangpu Qingtian becoming increasingly bolder and Zhuo Fan finding himself strained.

The audience was stunned. [Weren’t they equals? Why is Huangpu Qingtian holding out strong after all this time yet Zhuo Fan looks to be reaching his limit?]

[Was Huangpu Qingtian holding back from the start?]

Worry wormed into their hearts. Xie Tianshang sighed, “Huangpu Qingtian is dreadful to hold back even against Zhuo Fan. “

But then a laughter resounded.

“Ha-ha-ha, he hadn’t. Zhuo Fan is the one who used too much stamina and had long surpassed his limit.”

All eyes turned to Fang Qiubai, “Don’t you see? The purple lightning has dimmed and his body is starting to give. He must’ve been relying on the purple lightning to raise his power when clashing with Huangpu Qingtian. But the toll exceeds the limit his body can bear. That strange art of his allowed him to fight back, but now that it is sealed by that array, he is on the ropes.

“He may seem to be meeting Huangpu Qingtian at every blow, but he’s spent. The outcome is a foregone conclusion by now.” Fang Qiubai sighed in regret.

Being pointed out, the others looked closer and noticed how Zhuo Fan was growing frantic. Wounds riddled his body and his blood was being added to the soaked mud. He couldn’t take much more punishment or his body would break.

While Huangpu Qingtian was getting more and more savage, his power was unbreakable.

[Soaring Demonic Dragon has no chance against Heaven-shaking Dragon Lord. This is providence!]

Everyone shook their heads, yet the one on the receiving end didn’t seem to care. Zhuo Fan still met Huangpu Qingtian head on, driven by the thought of killing his enemy even at the cost of his own life. His effort had earned him the audience’s respect.

It looked like a typical case of fighting against impossible odds, but everyone took it as the eulogy of a tragic hero…
