Chapter 440 - 343: Grand Array’s Divine Might, Annihilation of Black Tiger Hall (Part 2)
Besides Hall Master Zhu Hu, there were eight other leaders, all of them valiant and skilled in battle. The second and fourth leaders were both mighty Early Stage of Void Refining cultivators.
The other leaders were all at the Late Stage of Divinity Transformation.
"What? Third Brother and Sixth Brother were killed by the people from Moon Worship Manor? Those bastards from Moon Worship Manor have some nerve. Big Brother, let’s go massacre Moon Worship Manor and avenge Third and Sixth Brother right now!"
The Second Leader flew into a rage the moment he heard the news.
He too was burly and muscular, his whole body packed with muscle, gripping a Yanyue Saber in his hand, giving off the aura of a one-man army blocking a thousand men.
"That’s exactly what I had in mind. I called you all back here today to avenge Third and Sixth Brother. We and Moon Worship Manor have been bottling up this grudge for years. Today, we end it once and for all!"
"All members, heed my command! Follow me to Moon Worship Manor. Kill all the men, leave the women alive for the brothers to enjoy, and once we take down Moon Worship Manor, you’ll all get your share of elixirs and Immortal Crystals! Move out!"
As Zhu Hu’s shout rang out, everyone’s morale soared.
"Kill—!"
"Kill—!"
With roars shaking the air, over thirty thousand members of Black Tiger Hall marched toward Moon Worship Manor.
The two places were just two hundred li apart. With so many cultivators flying across the sky, it only took moments to arrive.
.....
Moon Worship Manor.
Lin Chang’sheng distinctly felt a powerful aura quickly closing in their direction.
"They’re here!"
Lin Chang’sheng muttered to himself, then stood up and walked out of the great hall.
Jin Guangren and the other Elders also got up together and headed outside.
Moments later, a vast black cloud could be seen surging on the distant horizon.
But as it drew closer, they realized—it wasn’t a cloud at all, but the army of Black Tiger Hall.
Tens of thousands of members blanketed the skies above Moon Worship Manor, blotting out the sun like storm clouds hanging over their heads, creating a suffocating pressure.
The disciples of Moon Worship Manor who saw this scene were stunned speechless.
No one expected Black Tiger Hall to go all-in so quickly, throwing their entire force at Moon Worship Manor.
"Black Tiger Hall is clearly here to fight us to the death!"
"Yeah! Looks like they’re all in this time. There’s no way they’ll back down. I wonder what’s behind it?"
"How can you not know? I heard today the Fifth Elder went to the Guiding Platform to pick up disciples from the Lower Realm, and he ran into Black Tiger Hall people. The Fifth Elder killed them all on the spot!"
"Just killed them? Seriously? Looks like our Moon Worship Manor finally stood up for itself!"
"Well, if that’s how it is, then let’s fight! I’ve had enough of Black Tiger Hall’s crap."
...
Some disciples of Moon Worship Manor grew terrified seeing the Black Tiger Hall army in the sky, while others burned with fury.
Most likely, they had all suffered under Black Tiger Hall before.
"Hall Master Zhu, what is the meaning of this?"
Jin Guangren stepped forward, hands behind his back, radiating a fearless attitude.
No matter if they could win or not, their imposing manner must never falter.
"Jin Guangren, you’ve got a lot of nerve, daring to kill my Third and Sixth Brothers! Today, I’ll wipe Moon Worship Manor off the map to avenge them!"
Zhu Hu roared, unable to contain his rage.
"Oh? Why haven’t I heard about this? I bet your two dear brothers tried to abduct some women and got killed by a major sect when they were found out. Don’t go trying to blame us for your filth!"
Jin Guangren mocked, making Zhu Hu bristle with anger—the guy was clearly refusing to admit anything.
"You—"
"Big Brother, enough with the talk. Let’s just kill them all!"
Zhu Hu wanted to say more, but Second Brother Zhu Bao cut him off. He’d had enough of Moon Worship Manor too, and today was the perfect chance to destroy them.
"Jin Guangren, don’t act so cocky! Today is the day your Moon Worship Manor falls! Brothers, listen to me, attack—"
"Hold it!"
Just as Zhu Hu was about to give the order, Lin Chang’sheng stepped forward and shouted.
"Who are you? Are you some bug from the Abandoned Land?"
Zhu Hu narrowed his eyes at Lin Chang’sheng, sensing this was someone unfamiliar.
"Maybe you haven’t heard, but I’ll tell you straight: I’m the one who killed your Third and Sixth Brother! Their bodies are still in my Storage Bag. If you want revenge, come get it from me!"
As soon as Lin Chang’sheng finished speaking, all the hatred immediately shifted onto him.
Because when he said, ’Without losing a single man, I’ll wipe out Black Tiger Hall,’ it wasn’t a joke.
After speaking, Lin Chang’sheng motioned for Jin Guangren, the Elders, and the disciples to leave—he’d handle things here.
Jin Guangren wasn’t sure just how much confidence Lin Chang’sheng had, but if he was this self-assured, then they’d leave for now.
If he couldn’t handle it later, they’d step in.
Streaks of array light flickered, and Jin Guangren and the other Elders and disciples vanished instantly.
When they reappeared, they were fifty li outside of Moon Worship Manor.
Right now, Zhu Hu didn’t care to search for them—every ounce of his fury was fixed on Lin Chang’sheng.
"Brothers, kill them! Flatten Moon Worship Manor!"
Zhu Hu bellowed, and in an instant, all Black Tiger Hall members surged down at Moon Worship Manor like a tidal wave of black clouds.
But as soon as they landed, they found Moon Worship Manor was already empty, its people long gone using the Teleportation Array—all traces vanished.
"What... What the hell is going on?"
The Black Tiger Hall crowd was baffled. Just a moment ago, they were all here, and in a blink, Moon Worship Manor’s people had vanished into thin air?
"It’s a Transmission Array!"
Zhu Bao suddenly realized something was off!
"Big Brother, something’s wrong—we might’ve fallen for their trap! Shouldn’t we pull back?"
The Fourth Leader warned, suspecting outside help—after all, who set up this Transmission Array?
He didn’t buy that Moon Worship Manor could deploy such an array by themselves!
But right now, Zhu Hu was fixated on Lin Chang’sheng and had no intention of retreating.
"Let’s butcher this little bastard first and avenge Third and Sixth Brother!"
Zhu Hu roared, smashing a fist toward Lin Chang’sheng.
In his eyes, Lin Chang’sheng was just a nobody from the Abandoned Land—how strong could his Cultivation be?
At best, Late Divinity Transformation. Zhu Hu was a Void Refining expert. Killing a Divinity Transformation cultivator was as easy as squashing a bug.
One punch should be enough to erase him.
"Want to run now? Too late!"
Lin Chang’sheng stamped his foot on the ground—and instantly, the Celestial Array of Thunder Flame Heaven-Burning World Destruction activated.
Layer upon layer of thunderclouds shrouded the land, silver serpents of lightning coiling and rolling across the sky and surroundings.
At the same time, countless tongues of Undying Flame surged up from the ground, transforming the terrain into a sea of fire.
"Aaargh—"
Some Black Tiger Hall members were caught by the flames. No matter how they slapped at the fire or channeled their magical power, they couldn’t put it out, burned clean through and died screaming.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!—
At the same moment, Celestial Thunder rained down from the sky, blasting enemies from the air one after another.
People dropped from the air like dumplings into soup, killed on the spot and crashing to the ground.
The punch Zhu Hu threw landed on the Array Barrier in front of Lin Chang’sheng, creating only a thunderous boom—with no other effect at all.
"This..."
Zhu Hu was stunned, a chill running down his spine—something was terribly wrong.
Clearly, the other side had been plotting this long in advance, waiting for them to walk into the trap.
Otherwise, why set up a grand array right here?
"Retreat, now!"
Only now did Zhu Hu realize just how grave the situation was, and tried to escape the array.
Too late—
But before he could even reach the outer edge of the grand array, he was blasted backward by streak after streak of Celestial Thunder.
He looked utterly pitiful and battered.
Out in the Land of Evil, even Gu Ji had spent a lifetime trapped and unable to escape. That said a lot about the terrible power of this array.
Now, with Lin Chang’sheng combining several arrays into the Celestial Array of Thunder Flame Heaven-Burning World Destruction, its power was even more terrifying. How could Zhu Hu ever hope to escape?
Zhu Hu was already so miserable—never mind the rest of the members.
Anyone who touched Celestial Thunder or Earth Fire met certain death, instantly turned to corpses and killed on the spot.
In mere moments, more than half of Black Tiger Hall’s thirty thousand members were dead, as torrents of spiritual energy flooded from the Array Hub straight into Lin Chang’sheng.
Lin Chang’sheng activated the Void Divine King Technique and instantly refined that energy.
"This array is actually that terrifying?"
Jin Guangren, witnessing the array’s might from afar, couldn’t help but be deeply shocked.
The divine power of this array—even if he were surrounded inside, he probably wouldn’t make it out alive.
Good thing he’d stuck to his guns and followed Lin Chang’sheng’s advice. Otherwise, they really could have missed this chance to truly annihilate Black Tiger Hall.
