Chapter 87 - Seven Stars Murderous Array (2/2)
“Lin family?” Lin Xuanzhi narrowed his eyes.
The cultivation level of these few cultivators weren’t considered very high, but they were all of the Hardened Body stage which was above the Foundation Stage. If this situation had occurred in the past, Lin Xuanzhi wouldn’t have even given them a second glance. But now, he was a mere Foundation Stage cultivator, and he was a craftsman to boot. All the offensive power that he could dish out with his soul force was just a joke to the people in front of them now.

In the cultivation world, a difference of one stage is akin to the difference between the heavens and earth.
Just as light reflected off one of their swords, Lin Xuanzhi shouted in a cold tone, “Aren’t you guys going to come out yet?”
The men in black paused. Yan Tianhen forcefully threw his Ground Splitting Hammer out and smashed one of them to death.
Duan Yuyang shouted, “Lin Xuanzhi didn’t you say that you still have a few bodyguards? Where are they? Honourable me hasn’t even seen a single hair on their body since the beginning!”
Lin Xuanzhi was inwardly furious as well. Not one of those cultivators that Fifth Elder had dispatched to secretly protect them showed up at this critical juncture!
The man in black who was in the lead couldn’t stop laughing and said, “Your words don’t seem to be of any use! Lin Xuanzhi, do you really think that the people Fifth Elder dispatched for you are under him? Brothers, come out and keep Lin Xuanzhi here!”
He clapped his hands and the cultivators who were dispatched to protect Lin Xuanzhi actually came out one by one from god knows where and appeared in front of Lin Xuanzhi.

They wielded their swords in silence and formed a sword array with the tips of their swords pointed at Lin Xuanzhi.
“Dage–”
“Don’t be afraid.” Lin Xuanzhi said.

Lin Xuanzhi understood their situation with absolute clarity. He dismounted his horse and cast an indifferent glance over them, then said, “Since the one you want to kill is me, my Didi has nothing to do with this.”
“And it has even less to do with honourable me! I’m not even that familiar with them!” Duan Yuyang called out.
Lin Xuanzhi’s eyes swept over him. Duan Yuyang shrunk his neck and said, “We aren’t really familiar with each other in the first place anyway…”
The man in black sneered and said, “We need to nip all plants in the bud and kill all witnesses. Duan young master, while you’re at it, you should probably stay here too ba.”

When he finished speaking, the man in black’s sword flashed and emitted a sword will with majestic Qi, then he swung it at Lin Xuanzhi’s head.
Lin Xuanzhi flipped his hand over and stabbed the Chasing Sun horse’s butt with a knife. The Chasing Sun horse was instantly agitated and started running away like it was mad.
Yan Tianhen was almost thrown off the horse, so he instinctively held onto the horse’s neck tightly.
“Dage!” Yan Tianhen shouted at the top of his lungs.
“Ah Hen, go ahead first and wait for me!” Lin Xuanzhi suddenly took out a few top-grade forged stones and dodged his way to Duan Yuyang’s side, then somersaulted onto his horse.
Right when Lin Xuanzhi landed, Duan Yuyang smacked his horse’s butt and looked toward the back. “Fuck, our target has shrunk!”
Lin Xuanzhi said, “How many more Blasting Skies talismans do you have?”

“We’ll use them till we die.”
Lin Xuanzhi said, “Take your talismans out.”
Duan Yuyang sighed, then pulled out a thick stack of Blasting Skies talismans.

Lin Xuanzhi said, “Throw them out.”
“Ah?”
“Throw all of them out.” As Lin Xuanzhi spoke, he grabbed the whole stack of talismans and threw it behind them.
The yellow talismans flew all over the skies and it looked as if yellow rain was falling.

The sword’s light hacked onto the horse’s leg; the Chasing Sun horse stumbled and nearly fell to the ground.
“Are you crazy?!” Duan Yuyang roared.
As he saw countless sword lights that were about to land on them, Lin Xuanzhi’s eyes turned grim and he quickly formed a hand seal, uttered a magic seal and made an “open and close” gesture with both his hands. Then he threw out a top-grade forged stone that whooshed through the air.
In the instant when the forged stone was floating in midair, Lin Xuanzhi shouted “open!” and the forged stone immediately detonated the rain of yellow talismans that were drifting in the air.
The talismans looked like they were being guided by an invisible force as they were all sucked towards the forged stone that was closest to them.
“Seven stars murderous array!” Duan Yuyang shouted in astonishment.
“What?” The moment one of the cultivators spoke, he was struck by a powerful thunderbolt that could split darksteel into pieces from head to toe and turned into a burnt corpse.

The rest of their pursuers were extremely frightened. The Seven Stars Murderous Array is a huge array specifically designed to kill that can only be activated by a craftsman that had achieved a certain realm with the amalgamation of his soul force, magic tools and hand seals. Seven forged stones will assume the form of the Big Dipper as they spread out above the enemies’ heads.
If the magic tool used is of a fire attribute, the Seven Stars Murderous Array will turn into a conflagration that fills the skies; if it has an ice attribute, the Seven Stars Murderous Array will cover everything within 10,000 miles with frost and instantly freeze anyone within the radius into a frozen rod.
And this kind of thunder attribute is even rarer.

After a round of loud and sharp cracks of lightning rang out, there wasn’t a single person who was alive underneath the Seven Stars Murderous Array.
And the Duan Yuyang who stood outside the range of the Seven Stars Murderous Array couldn’t help but stare agape, his heart filled with astonishment.
He had to force himself to gulp down his saliva, then patted his chest and said, “The Seven Stars Murderous Array…isn’t it an array that can only be used by a primary-level cultivator? You’re only a Foundation Stage cultivator, and your soul force is far from enough to activate this array.”
Lin Xuanzhi also heaved a sigh of relief, then cast a glance at Duan Yuyang and said, “21 Blasting Skies talismans, 7 top-grade forged stones, coupled with all of my soul force and top-grade hand seals, it really wasn’t easy to activate the Seven Stars Murderous Array.”

Duan Yuyang laughed cunningly and pointed at Lin Xuanzhi, “Esteemed Lin young master, it looks like you have quite a lot of secrets don’t you? You probably don’t just have a fire elemental soulfire ba?”
If he only had a single soulfire, then even if he had expended all the soul force in his body, it definitely wouldn’t have been enough to activate the array. Unless, Lin Xuanzhi didn’t have just one kind of soulfire in his body.
Actually, most craftsmen were like cultivators and didn’t have just a single, pure spiritual root. If cultivators can have three spiritual roots, then craftsmen can also have three soulfires.
