Chapter 227 - Grand Killing Array
Chapter 227 - Grand Killing Array
King Huai of the South was enveloped in extremely robust corpse qi and still had his cultivation and martial prowess from his living days.
“Earth Splitting Slash!” roared the king, and a blade light darted toward Chen Fan.
The solid ground trembled violently under the attack as if the blade light would split it.
The blade light instantly arrived in front of Chen Fan.
Clang!
Chen Fan shattered the blade light with a casual palm strike. Following this, Chen Fan unleashed an earth-shaking punch; it flew toward King Huai of the South.
King Huai of the South was caught off guard by Chen Fan’s strength. His opponent had countered his attack and retaliated with an attack so powerful that it created gales strong enough to make his withered skin crease further.
Swish!
Swiftly evading Chen Fan's assault, King Huai flew, transforming his guandao into a green dragon that descended on Chen Fan with a roar.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The blade light had yet to descend, but the terrifying qi had already made web-like cracks appear on the ground.
“Undefeated King’s Fist,” Chen Fan said softly. Six primeval force arms sprouted on his back, swinging wildly.
Every punch and every palm strike contained devastating might. The force rushed out, shaking heaven and earth, leaving the spacious tomb shaking.
Rumble!
The Undefeated King’s Fist clashed with King Huai of the South’s guandao, generating a sharp sound as a formidable force struck the blade's surface.
The tremendous force sent King Huai of the South flying, and it shook like a twig when it stood back up.
Ghostly flames burned in his dark, empty eye sockets, emitting an eerie aura. There was something evil in his gaze as it remarked, “You’re no ordinary Yuanfu realm martial artist. Your strength rivals that of a fifth-level expert. You must be a talented disciple from some sect, an extraordinary genius.”
“Hmph!”
Chen Fan snorted coldly, his eyes radiating an even icier glare.
“Nevertheless, you will meet your end here soon. Your journey here must have depleted your strength considerably. The jiangshi army encountered along the way has likely drained a significant portion of your primal force and stamina. How are you holding up?”
King Huai of the South laughed sinisterly, his cackling echoing through the tomb.
“Is that right?”
Chen Fan smiled coldly, unleashing his aura that was so strong that it created a fierce wind.
"A Corpse King like you will meet his demise at my hands—consider yourself lucky. Now, embrace your fate!" Chen Fan roared, devouring the surrounding qi like a fierce tiger.
Autumn Slay erupted violently with a terrifying sword light, tearing the air in front of him apart and slashing toward King Huai of the South.
Bang!
A resounding bang echoed as King Huai of the South countered with his guandao, shattering the sword light but being repeatedly pushed back by the powerful impact.
Chen Fan stepped forth ferociously, closing in on King Huai of the South. His six arms struck out, generating powerful winds that swept out, rumbling.
Poof, poof, poof!
King Huai of the South wielded his guandao ferociously, his corpse qi sweeping out. Every swing was heavy and powerful, with great strength behind it.
Still, he was repeatedly beaten back by Chen Fan, who was going all out. His corpse qi stormed out, the ghostly fire in his eye sockets flickering.
Bang!
A terrifying sword light tore through everything and landed on King Huai of the South. Sparks immediately flew as if the sword light had struck steel.
King Huai of the South was thrown back, slamming into the bronze coffin.
“With the ground as mountains and rivers, and the sky as the stars, Mountain River Stars Grand Array, activate!” King Huai of the South quickly activated the tomb’s grand array.
Numerous lights illuminated the ceiling, and gemstones embedded in the tomb shone like celestial bodies.
Simultaneously, the ground's mountain and river grand array came to life as the earth and the water stream formed a deadly momentum, launching attacks at Chen Fan.
This tomb was a grand array King Huai of the South had spent countless years to set.
With its activation, nefarious qi and corpse qi from heaven and earth converged in the tomb, whistling through the air. It seemed as if demons from hell had been unleashed, aiming to trap and kill Chen Fan.
In life, King Huai of the South was not only a powerful aristocrat but also someone proficient in arrays. The Mountain River Stars Grand Array, set up in his tomb, harnessed the abundant nefarious qi, corpse qi, and ghostly qi in the Fiendish Corpse Mountain Range. The array gave him enough strength to even fight against experts at the fifth level.
Swish, swish!
Within the grand array, streaks of a qi substance formed from the mixture of various types of qi. It transformed into all kinds of weapons, spinning in the air, and darted toward Chen Fan with strong tearing power.
The array would remain strong as long as it had an endless supply of the various types of evil qi.
“Keke, brat, did you think you could survive after walking into my tomb? There's no escape, not in heaven or hell. You're fated to become a jiangshi general under my command."
King Huai of the South laughed sinisterly, seeing the grand array in operation and supplying him with terrifying powers.
“It is somewhat troublesome.”
Chen Fan’s six arms struck out continuously from within the grand array, smashing the weapons into pieces.
However, those weapons were all condensed from the endless nefarious qi, corpse qi, and ghostly qi. Once shattered, they reformed into the qi substance, transforming into weapons again, creating a vicious cycle.
“You do have some tricks up your sleeves. The strength of the grand array can threaten experts in the fifth and sixth levels, borrowing the qi from heaven and earth to launch endless attacks. If one cannot break through this grand array, they would be slowly exhausted to death.”
Chen Fan’s eyes shone brightly.
He had robust primeval force, so he wasn’t worried about the corrosion of the nefarious qi and corpse qi. However, the grand array seemingly had endless powers and could slowly chip away at his strength.
“Too bad, this grand array just isn’t enough.”
Chen Fan chuckled lightly and shook his head. Closing his palm, the Heaven Piercing Spear condensed in his hand.
Buzz!
A berserk aura spread from Chen Fan, making the king stop laughing abruptly. Its array was trembling.
To the king’s horror, Chen Fan effortlessly tore apart the grand array with a single move of his spear. The various types of evil erupted chaotically, creating a tumultuous scene with explosive force.
Bang, bang, bang...
“Not good!”
King Huai of the South cried out at the sight. It immediately moved, flying into the passageway, trying to escape.
“Die!”
There was no way Chen Fan would let him escape.
With a swish, he appeared above King Huai of the South.
The Heaven Piercing Spear produced a popping sound as if it punctured through the void, stabbing the back of King Huai of the South’s head and nailing him to the ground.
Bang!
King Huai of the South exploded under the terrifying force.
With a clang, his guandao fell to the ground. A jade pill, about the size of an eye, and a fist-sized corpse core also flew out.
