Chapter 463 - 245: Breaking into the Grand Array, I’ve Given You Face
"After trekking for days, all for the sake of dying?"
Jiang Li’s expression turned grim. He initially thought that the envoy from the Martial Alliance would come to mediate the vendetta between him and Wei Fan, but the envoy had been blown apart by Wei Fan’s arrow, leaving no trace.
The Extreme Martial Sect must still face Wei Fan’s assault.
Wei Fan retrieved the Dragon Horn Arrow he fired and bent his bow again, aiming at Jiang Li within the array.
Jiang Li gritted his teeth, "You’ve forced my hand!"
Even after Wei Fan slaughtered Li Gui Ping from the Beidou Sword Sect, Jiang Li realized Wei Fan was dead set on exterminating the Extreme Martial Sect, leaving no room for negotiation. Unless he disbanded the Extreme Martial Sect, only one of them could survive.
He unfurled the Big Banner in his hands, countless saber shadows materializing, slashing towards Wei Fan like a torrent!
Boom!
Wei Fan released his fingers, the massive thunderbolt piercing through the saber shadows, hitting the light curtain. In an instant, from the Dragon Horn Arrow as the center, a web of cracks spread rapidly, as if the array’s light curtain was about to shatter the next moment.
The disciples of the Extreme Martial Sect, connected to the grand array, trembled, their Qi Blood surging with discomfort etched across their faces.
"Blocked it!"
Jiang Li gasped, the power of the Divine Bow was genuinely terrifying, almost piercing the Martial King Array.
However, the Mountain Protection Array held firm, with cracks fading swiftly, repelling the Dragon Horn Arrow.
This gave Jiang Li immense confidence; with Wei Fan unable to break the array, he was rendered powerless against him, holding an unassailable position.
"He can’t be allowed the chance to grow further; he must be killed today!"
Since Wei Fan was intent on annihilating the Extreme Martial Sect, the only solution was preventing Wei Fan from leaving alive. Otherwise, even if Wei Fan couldn’t destroy it now, he would return when he had the capability.
Jiang Li made his decision, shouting, "Everyone channel your power into the grand array, assist with vanquishing the Extreme Martial Sect’s great enemy!"
He unfurled the Big Banner in his hands, with the array rising, thousands upon thousands of saber shadows emerged, engulfing Wei Fan.
In an instant, Wei Fan was faced with overwhelmingly dense saber shadows like a downpour.
Under these circumstances, he could either withstand the shreds from the Martial King Array or retreat.
The array was static, capable of attacking enemies only within a certain range; stepping out of this range rendered it powerless.
"Wei Fan, have the guts not to flee; whatever grievances, let’s settle them today!" Jiang Li roared.
He feared Wei Fan might retreat if the Martial King Array couldn’t be broken. If Wei Fan withdrew, the only chance to confront him would be personal combat, giving no certainty of killing Wei Fan. Thus, he resorted to taunting Wei Fan while controlling the array’s assault.
He knew this kind of maniac in Wei Fan would undoubtedly go blind in a frenzy if provoked.
"Indeed, the Martial King Array is bothersome, with the Jiaolong Sunset Bow and Dragon Horn Arrow failing to penetrate it. Even if the Profound Yellow Tripod is brought out, it’s likely ineffective. Unless the Human King Bell is used!"
Wei Fan reached to seize the Dragon Horn Arrow and stowed away the Jiaolong Sunset Bow.
He intended to keep the Human King Bell as a surprise for the Demon King, playing his trump card only when absolutely necessary.
Moreover, he wasn’t truly hapless against the Martial King Array, as his earlier strikes merely tested its defense.
The defensive capability was indeed strong, perhaps there was hope to break it by force upon achieving the Golden Body Ninth Forging, but for now, it’s nearly impossible!
"No need to provoke me. I said I won’t leave unless the Extreme Martial Sect is wiped out today!"
Facing the engulfing saber shadows, a golden light curtain shielded Wei Fan, protecting him.
Simultaneously, his power surged forth, vigorous Blood Qi erupting, dispersing the clouds.
He charged forward under a veil of blood mist, punching the sky blanketed with saber shadows.
Boom!
Power akin to raging waves blasted forth, crushing countless saber shadows, reverting the energy to the earth.
Yet, the saber shadows were too many; with one shattered, more descended like raindrops, impacting the protective light curtain.
In an instant, thousands upon thousands of saber shadows fell, causing the curtain to ripple, densely embedding saber marks.
Crack!
With his second punch, the curtain was torn apart by the saber shadows, exploding with a bang.
Jiang Li revealed a delighted expression, "The protective curtain is broken!"
He hadn’t expected Wei Fan genuinely not to flee, still imagining resisting the shredding force of the Martial King Array.
It was the Martial King Array, if it couldn’t shred even a Martial Venerable, it wasn’t worthy of the name.
His main concern had always been not Wei Fan surviving the shredding but whether Wei Fan might retreat when sensing defeat, avoiding confrontation with the array. As long as Wei Fan didn’t flee, he believed he could shred Wei Fan.
"Such formidable Golden Body!"
Jiang Li was stunned, his eyes wide.
Despite the protective curtain shattered within two breaths by the Martial King Array, with countless saber shadows landing on Wei Fan, he didn’t bleed at all, instead shattering numerous saber shadows.
"I want to see how long you can hold out; no matter how strong your Golden Body is, it will eventually be reduced to pulp!"
Jiang Li’s eyes gleamed coldly as he wielded more saber shadows tearing into Wei Fan.
Boom!
Once again, a punch clears a slice of saber shadows. Wei Fan has roughly tested the killing power of the Martial King Array. Although his flesh is currently unharmed by the saber shadows, it doesn’t mean he won’t get hurt eventually. At this moment, his Blood Qi is surging, and his body is transmitting tearing pain everywhere.
If this continues, the Martial King Array is enough to kill him. In the Martial Venerable Realm, probably few can withstand the killing of the Martial King Array.
"The test is almost over, it’s time to end this!"
Wei Fan suddenly raised his head, his cold and sharp gaze instantly locked eyes with Jiang Li, who was controlling the array.
Jiang Li was filled with suspicion: "Is he smiling?"
In Wei Fan’s gaze, he saw neither panic nor fear, but mockery and a smile.
The next moment, he saw Wei Fan disappear completely from the endless saber shadows after clearing a slice with a punch. The myriad saber shadows suddenly struck empty air.
"Not good!"
A chilling horror surged in Jiang Li’s heart, cold sweat spiking from his scalp. How could a living person disappear into thin air? He frantically searched but found no trace of Wei Fan.
"Are you looking for me?"
Wei Fan’s calm voice sounded from behind, and Jiang Li only felt his scalp exploding.
Wei Fan disappeared, and when he appeared again, he had bypassed the Martial King Array’s defenses and was behind him.
"Is he a Demon Fiend? How did he get through the Martial King Array’s protection?"
"Ha!"
As his body trembled with fear, the Big Banner in Jiang Li’s hand shook violently. This banner was also refined by a Martial King, capable of calling upon the grand array’s power to kill enemies, whether inside or outside the array.
Wei Fan threw a punch, his Power flowing like a torrent, muscle bulging piece by piece.
His Golden Body, even at the Seventh Forging, could heavily injure Niu Dingtian, whose strength is comparable to Jiang Li.
Now with the Golden Body Eighth Forging, crushing Jiang Li with a punch is not difficult.
Jiang Li hadn’t had time to turn or retaliate when Wei Fan’s fist, like a Great Sun across the sky, already punched out.
But the next moment, a brilliant ray erupted from Jiang Li’s body, flooding like a tide, enveloping both him and Wei Fan.
Boom!
The entire array and Jiang Li jolted, Wei Fan’s fist was blocked by a ray, three inches from his body, unable to advance further.
Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief, showing a mocking expression: "With the Array Banner in my hand, I’m one with the array. You can’t kill me unless you have the power to destroy the entire array!"
Since becoming the Sect Leader of Extreme Martial Sect, this was his first time using the array to resist, he almost forgot that the array had this capability.
As the array controller, as long as the array isn’t destroyed, no Power can harm him.
"I don’t know how you got in, but you came just right. To enter the array voluntarily, such ignorance, thinking close proximity will kill me. Do you consider the Martial King Array a waste?"
"Operate the array with full power and slay the Extreme Martial Sect’s great enemy!" Jiang Li roared excitedly.
Inside the array, its Power is more immense, making its use more varied. In this grand array, he can mobilize all forces to kill Wei Fan.
For a moment, he saw hope in slaying Wei Fan.
Boom!
The entire Extreme Martial Sect trembled, glowing everywhere, terrifying pressure fiercely rushed toward Wei Fan, trying to imprison him.
At the same time, the Big Banner in Jiang Li’s hand, like an axe, slashed toward Wei Fan with terrifying Power.
Such Power is enough to explode mountains and lay waste to landscapes. Wei Fan suddenly felt like he carried several mountains on his back, his movement greatly hindered.
The power of the Martial King Array inside and outside is a completely different feeling.
If not for the Extreme Martial Sect being one with this grand array, such power fluctuations would be enough to flatten the entire sect, erasing it from existence.
Wei Fan showed a mocking smile: "You really think I came to die?"
He naturally knew that being in the Martial King Array meant facing its true Power. But daring to enter with the Form Follows Heart ability, he was naturally confident he wouldn’t be killed.
Besides the Human King Bell protecting him, he wasn’t without other means—he still had the Sun True Flame Palm unused.
However, Wei Fan didn’t plan on using the Sun True Flame Palm, for he had something else.
Bang!
Wei Fan retreated, the banner sweeping past him, nearly cracking his Golden Body, his body like being crushed by a heavy object.
"What other means do you have? Can you produce a Martial King Divine Soldier? Even if you have one, it’s not something you can wield!"
Wei Fan dared not resist the Big Banner directly, while Jiang Li pressed his advantage, drawing more array power onto the banner, like a fierce dragon attacking Wei Fan.
Now with the Martial King Array’s power all upon him, even a Martial King Powerhouse would hesitate to challenge him, let alone a Martial Venerable.
"Let’s see!"
Wei Fan flipped his wrist, and the Divinity-Sealing Seal silently appeared in his hand.
