Chapter 537 - 24: Trump Card (Part 2)
How can I miss it?
"Go." Fang Zheng nodded and reminded:
"Be careful!"
It is said that the Military Array is formidable, even to the extent of being the nemesis of cultivators, but he has yet to witness it firsthand.
Today,
Just an opportunity to try it out.
"Yes!"
Yang Meng was overjoyed by the order.
"Seven Stars Converge, Qi and Blood Azure Dragon."
"Release!"
With a low shout from her, the wind and sand swept across the scene, and a blood-colored dragon more than ten zhang long appeared out of thin air, enveloping Yang Meng and charging towards the Mad Daoist above.
The dragon roared, the terrifying sonic wave erupted first, and with its claws breaking through the air, it reached for the Cyan Rope Sword in the field.
"Zheng..."
Seeing the sword light soaring to the sky and dragon roars echoing, the Mad Daoist was forcibly pressed to the ground by the blood dragon.
Good!
Fang Zheng’s eyes brightened.
The Military Array is indeed formidable, and crucially, once the array is activated, it completely isolates the Heaven and Earth’s Qi Mechanism. Even Masters find it difficult to leverage the Power of Heaven and Earth to cast magic. Even if they manage, the power of the magic is greatly reduced.
They can only rely on their own skills to resist.
Relatively speaking.
Martial Arts Grandmasters, who are not good at leveraging external forces, might have some advantages facing the Military Array.
"Junior, you are going too far!"
Being suppressed by the Qi and Blood Azure Dragon, with the Cyan Rope Sword gradually letting out a mournful cry, the Mad Daoist couldn’t help but roar:
"It’s just an array, break it for me!"
He spat out, and a profound light emerged, initially as thin as a thumb, but in the blink of an eye, it expanded to the size of a bowl.
After extending a zhang, it transformed into a beam of light, fanning out and rushing forward.
"Be careful!"
Fang Zheng gave a low warning:
"It’s Cold Flame Profound Light, do not let it touch you, or it will cling to your Qi and Blood until you are completely burned to ashes."
"Roar!"
In the field, the Azure Dragon coiled as the Military Array transformed, instantly raising clouds and mist, twisting the profound light and reflecting it back.
This turn of events left the Mad Daoist flustered.
Hmm?
Fang Zheng showed a look of surprise.
The Military Array actually has such transformations?
He had consulted Yang Meng about the ways of the Military School, and the other party had not held back, but some variations are evidently not so simple to describe with just a few words.
"Go!"
The Mad Daoist dodged his own Cold Flame Profound Light, then tossed out another object, which turned into numerous cold lights shooting in all directions.
"Red Sun Divine Needle!"
Fang Zheng spoke again:
"This object is refined from Nine Heavens Pure Yang Qi, explodes upon contact, nothing can withstand it, its power is formidable."
"Do not resist directly."
"The Red Sun Divine Needle is a one-time-use magical treasure, once released it cannot be retracted, the longer it is out, the weaker its power."
Yang Meng followed the advice, transforming the Military Array, making the surrounding scenery appear real and illusory, avoiding the Red Sun Divine Needle.
"Junior!"
The Mad Daoist suddenly turned around, looking at Fang Zheng with surprise and uncertainty:
"How do you know these methods?"
Whether it’s Cold Flame Profound Light or Red Sun Divine Needle, though not uncommon at the level of a Master, they are not easily recognized by just anyone.
Fang Zheng not only recognized them but also knew their weaknesses, which is not the knowledge a country landlord should have.
"Who exactly are you?" the Mad Daoist shouted in anger and surprise:
"What is your background?"
"Hmph!"
Fang Zheng snorted lightly:
"You can’t even handle your own situation, yet you have the mind to ask about Fang Mou’s background?"
"Go!"
With a low shout, the Ghost King beside him suddenly disappeared, coordinating with the Qi and Blood Azure Dragon to launch a fierce attack on the Mad Daoist.
Already suppressed, with the Ghost King’s unpredictable nature and speed akin to instant teleportation, the pressure increased sharply.
A slight lapse with the Cyan Rope Sword led it to be sent flying a dozen zhang away by the Azure Dragon’s tail swipe.
"Ah!"
The Mad Daoist, bursting out of the ruins with a hideous expression:
"A bunch of juniors bullying too much, do you really think Song Mou is so easy to bully?"
"Break it for me!"
Before the words fell, a Thunder Pearl rolled out from his sleeve, spinning in the air and suddenly brightening.
Not good!
Fang Zheng inwardly cried in alarm and urgently recalled the Ghost King.
"Boom!"
The Thunder Pearl exploded, a silent roar sweeping in all directions.
This sound cannot be heard by ordinary people, only those with a strong Divine Soul can sense it slightly.
At the same time.
A force capable of destroying everything swept through the scene, collapsing all the houses along several long streets near the Gu’an County County Government Office.
Furthermore, living beings turned into clouds of blood mist and exploded.
Silent Divine Thunder!
A Dharma Gate of the Luofu Immortal Sect.
"Roar!"
The blood-colored Azure Dragon enveloping Yang Meng howled to the sky, its body blown to pieces by the explosion, barely holding on.
Hundreds of private soldiers couldn’t withstand the backlash of the array and died on the spot.
"Demon Dao!"
Yang Meng gritted her teeth and roared in anger:
"Die!"
She flipped her body, manipulating the private soldiers to change the array. As seen in the field, smoke surged, and flood dragons appeared one after another.
Nine Dragons Devouring Body Array!
The nine flood dragons shrieked together, charging at the Mad Daoist, their might not a bit weaker than before.
Sure, here’s the translated text:
"Hmm?"
The Mad Daoist’s eyes twitched in surprise:
"The Qi and Blood of the private soldiers killed earlier hasn’t dissipated, but was instead consumed by this Military Array."
"This is..."
"The methods of the Hu Ben Army!"
Usually, a Military Array is composed of people; when people die, the array breaks, and fewer people make for a weaker array. That’s common sense.
But there are certain battle arrays, or top-tier military experts, who can refine the Qi and Blood of those who die in the array.
And unleash more powerful might within a short period.
Thus,
The more they kill, the stronger they become!
In nearly a hundred years, the Mad Daoist recalls that only the Military Array of the Hu Ben Army possesses this capability.
"Roar!"
The Nine Dragons roared and spiraled, instantly suppressing the Cyan Rope Sword completely.
"Go!"
The Mad Daoist stepped back and flicked his fingers forward.
"Swish!"
An object emerged out of thin air, swelling in the wind, transforming from the size of a thumb into a bizarre banner several meters long in the blink of an eye.
Wind and Cloud Banner!
As soon as this banner appeared, it first stabilized the surrounding mist, then winds and clouds surged, with gusts of violent wind bursting from it.
"Bang!"
The Ghost King appeared, ignoring the gale as he approached the Wind and Cloud Banner, stretching his hands to tear it apart.
"Good beast."
The Mad Daoist’s eyes twitched:
"You really think I have no tricks up my sleeve?"
He formed a seal with his hands and his body lightly shook, splitting into three, with three Mad Daoists appearing on the scene.
"One Qi Transform into Three Pristine Ones?"
Fang Zheng looked surprised, then shook his head:
"No!"
"This is not the One Qi Transform into Three Pristine Ones from the Celestial Master Dao, a false imitation; no wonder you’ve gone insane."
In a certain sense, all three Mad Daoists were real.
That is to say, the Mad Daoist divided his Primordial Spirit into three parts, with none as the dominant entity.
Splitting one’s spirit,
How could one remain normal?
"You even know about One Qi Transform into Three Pristine Ones?" One of the Mad Daoists turned back, his gaze flickering:
"Looks like you truly were the one who killed Song Ji; hence, I cannot let you live!"
He swung his hand, and the remaining two Mad Daoists each controlled the Cyan Rope Sword and the Wind and Cloud Banner, battling against the Military Array and the Ghost King.
He himself flashed forward, charging at Fang Zheng.
Indeed, the reason the Mad Daoist was insane was greatly related to splitting his Primordial Spirit into three parts.
However,
The three of them did not oppose each other, and when facing an adversary, they would cooperate wholeheartedly, unleashing power far beyond that of one person.
This,
Is the fundamental reason why the Mad Daoist’s power surpasses that of ordinary Masters.
"Swish!"
The Mad Daoist flew closer, flicking his finger lightly.
Spirit Rhinoceros Finger!
"Bang!"
Where the fingertip pointed, the solid ground silently exploded, even the Thousand-Forged Refined Steel could not withstand the force of the finger.
Fang Zheng flashed back, a Magic Altar already appearing beneath him.
"Thunder!"
"Thunderous Strike from Heaven!"
"Boom!"
Blinding lightning descended from the sky, instantly engulfing the Mad Daoist.
His power, enhanced by the Magic Altar and not restricted by the battle array, already rivaled that of a Master.
"I said, this is Gu’an County."
Fang Zheng looked calmly at the Mad Daoist enveloped in lightning as if he were looking at a dead man rather than a Magical Sage:
"Even if it’s a Rogue Immortal, if Fang wishes, he can kill!"
"What arrogant words!"
The Mad Daoist sneered:
"With just you?"
"It’s impressive to train thousands of private soldiers and refine a Ghost King, but how long do you think they can hold?"
"I can fight for a whole day and night, but can your private soldiers maintain their formation? Can you control the Ghost King to battle me for a day and night?"
"No!"
Fang Zheng gently shook his head:
"There’s no need."
He retreated again.
His steps seemed small, yet each was over ten meters; after a few flashes, he arrived at the rear courtyard of the Fang Mansion.
Then.
Fang Zheng stomped, shattering the ground, revealing the object beneath.
Close-in Defense Cannon!
Modified version!
More terrifying than the current 1130 on aircraft carriers, with an attack range of several kilometers and a firing speed of over twenty thousand shells per minute.
And because it is a modified version, what it fires are not armor-piercing shells but specially made high-power explosive bullets.
"Bang!"
Fang Zheng stretched out his hand, lifting the 2030 Close-in Defense Cannon that weighed over ten tons, aiming at the Mad Daoist.
The next instant.
A terrifying tongue of fire emerged in the thick fog.
"Rat-tat-tat-tat..."
One second.
Over three hundred explosive bullets.
The most advanced Close-in Defense Cannon from another world bared its fangs here, charging towards a Magical Sage.
