Chapter 475: Chapter 473: Casually Slaughtering Ten Thousand Enemies
CLANG! A sword cry echoed through the Nine Heavens. This was a supreme, emotionless strike, like a sword from the Supreme Above the Nine Heavens, cleaving through the mortal world, leaving nothing behind. It was majestic, ultimate, and mercilessly lethal.
PFFT! The sword swept past, creating a ghastly, spectacular scene. Heads flew into the air, one after another, as pillars of blood shot toward the sky like fountains. A rain of blood began to fall.
As their heads soared far, far away, the victims could still see their own bodies, could see the blood fountaining high from their necks. The heads rolled across the ground, their eyes wide open. Even at the moment of death, they never saw what that sword strike looked like.
Everyone was stunned by the sight. A thousand slain with a single sword. The blood that splattered on the ground gathered into rivers, flowing toward lower ground and staining the earth red.
“Activate the array!” The expressions of Prince Shen Ran and the others changed drastically. The Ghost Monk immediately summoned an Array Map, and boundless black energy instantly enveloped the Oasis. The Ghost Monk, Qing Jinzi, the Hundred Schools’ Sons, and Prince Shen Ran were drawn into the array, with the four of them each taking charge of a corner of the Grand Array.
The captured Qiu Rong Wanxue was also swept into the array. Prince Shen Ran and his group, intending to lure Li Qiye into their trap, had imprisoned her in the center of the Grand Array—the most dangerous location.
The entire Grand Array seethed with a sinister Ghost Qi, yet within it, the chanting of a Buddha’s name could be heard, and it even emanated a faint Buddha Light.
This scene sent a chill down the spines of all who watched, as if a ghost Buddha had crawled out of Hell.
In fact, there were indeed ghosts. One by one, monks clad in kasayas appeared within the array. They had no flesh or blood; they were all skeletons. Chanting the Buddha’s name, they formed a massive Yin Array.
“The legendary Supreme Zen Secret Array of the Ghost Zen Clan!” someone recognized the Grand Array and cried out in shock.
The other cultivators outside the Oasis paled and immediately retreated far away. Legend had it that the Ghost Zen Clan’s Ghost Zen Supreme Secret was an extremely heretical Secret Technique, and it was this very technique the Ghost Monk cultivated. As for the Ghost Zen Supreme Secret Array, it was even more terrifying. Rumor had it that once trapped inside, even a living person would be subject to Refinement and turned into a puppet.
“Li! If you want to save her, come in! Otherwise, within three quarters, she will become a puppet!” Four colossal Yin Buddhas materialized at the four corners of the Grand Array. They were gigantic and radiated a vast, sinister energy, like ghost Buddhas from Hell itself.
These four Yin Buddhas were the transformed Prince Shen Ran and his three companions. They used the power of the Grand Array to transform, all while fueling the entire array with their own torrential Blood Qi.
“AHHH—” Qiu Rong Wanxue’s panicked scream echoed from within.
“Just a petty trick.” Li Qiye’s lips curled. The space around him seemed to tremble, and with an unbelievable speed, he vanished, instantly rushing into the Grand Array.
His speed was simply too fast; no one saw how Li Qiye charged into the Grand Array.
Outside the Oasis, the cultivators from various clans drew in a sharp breath. One of them couldn’t help but say, “Charging into a Ghost Array like that is just courting death. If he gets trapped by the ghost monks, he’ll be turned into a puppet within three quarters!”
“He’s too rash. Being desperate to save someone is one thing, but this is suicide.” Although Li Qiye’s feat of slaying a thousand enemies with one sword was breathtaking, in the eyes of many, his act of charging into the Ghost Array was simply a death wish.
At the center of the Ghost Array, Qiu Rong Wanxue was already surrounded by a large group of skeleton monks. Facing the billowing Ghost Qi they spat out, her face turned pale with horror, and she hurriedly used her powerful Blood Qi to form a halo of light to protect herself.
In that fleeting moment, the terrified Qiu Rong Wanxue suddenly felt her body lighten as someone swept her into their arms. The shock nearly scared her out of her wits, but as she fell against that solid chest and smelled that familiar scent, her heart, which had been in her throat, immediately settled.
Li Qiye’s speed was too fast. With his Flying Immortal Body, not even the Ghost Array could trap him. The array’s reactions were far too slow to keep up with his speed. He had instantly rushed to its center and embraced the trapped Qiu Rong Wanxue.
The speed of the Flying Immortal Body was unbeatable. Time and space around Li Qiye seemed to slow by a beat. This massive Ghost Array simply couldn’t stop him, allowing him to move as if through unmanned territory.
“Kill him!” Prince Shen Ran and the other three were both shocked and enraged. With a furious roar, they poured all of their Blood Qi into the Grand Array. The four colossal Yin Buddhas instantly sealed off the sky and descended with an unparalleled, sinister killing intent.
However, Li Qiye, at the center of the Grand Array, had no intention of escaping. He simply shouted to Qiu Rong Wanxue in a low voice, “Hold on tight!” As his voice fell, his great foot stomped down viciously.
Qiu Rong Wanxue hurriedly obeyed, clinging tightly to him. As she wrapped her arms around her Young Master’s strong waist, she felt an unprecedented sense of security.
In that instant, the light of the Prison Suppressing Divine Body flared brilliantly. Silken strands of Law coiled around him endlessly, erupting with an invincible posture.
The sky itself was blotted out by Li Qiye’s enormous foot. The Nine Heavens cracked and the stars were destroyed. Even if heaven and earth were vaster, they could not withstand this terrifying stomp.
The weight of a single stomp from the Prison Suppressing Divine Body was equal to the weight of the Nine Realms, the weight of a hundred million mountain ranges. It could collapse the heavens and crush everything in the world!
BOOM! With a deafening roar, the four gigantic Yin Buddhas were instantly shattered by the stomp. Shards rained down from the sky as Prince Shen Ran and the others were violently thrown from the array by the immense force.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM— The rumbling was incessant, followed by the CRACKLE of breaking bones. All the skeleton monks within the array were stomped into bone dust. Finally, with a loud BANG, the entire Grand Array collapsed.
The four, including the Ghost Monk, were sent flying out of the array, spraying blood wildly in mid-air. Before they could even hit the ground, Li Qiye, moving ten times faster than lightning, instantly appeared before them.
The first was the Ghost Monk. While his body was still falling, Li Qiye suddenly appeared. He had no time to react before he was swatted away.
The second was the Hundred Schools’ Sons. He was horrified, but it was too late. Li Qiye, possessing the Flying Immortal Body, was simply too fast. A single finger jab was all it took to pierce through the skull of the Hundred Schools’ Sons.
The third was Qing Jinzi. Terrified out of his mind, he was just about to summon his treasure when he heard a CRACK. His entire skeleton was instantly shattered by the impact.
Finally, everything came to a halt. When everyone could see clearly again, one of Li Qiye’s hands was already clamped tightly around Prince Shen Ran’s neck, holding his entire body up in the air.
“AHHH—” Only at this moment did the Ghost Monk’s pained scream finally ring out. He had been swatted away, crashing heavily into the ground and exploding into a meat paste. His blood dyed the earth red as his final, agonized cry echoed through the clouds.
The Hundred Schools’ Sons, his head pierced, didn’t even have a chance to scream as his corpse fell heavily to the ground. As for Qing Jinzi, his gold skeleton was smashed to pieces, all of his bones turning into countless fragments. He too died without a chance to scream.
The Ghost Monk was reduced to meat paste, the corpse of the Hundred Schools’ Sons fell, Qing Jinzi was shattered, and Prince Shen Ran was held high in the air. It all happened in an instant, almost as if it had happened simultaneously, as if four Li Qiyes had attacked them at once.
It had all happened too quickly. Prince Shen Ran hadn’t even processed it until he heard the Ghost Monk’s scream and saw the corpse of the Hundred Schools’ Sons and the shattered remains of Qing Jinzi.
Prince Shen Ran was completely stupefied, so terrified he could have pissed his pants, his soul nearly flying from his body. He couldn’t believe any of it, frozen on the spot like an idiot.
The Prison Suppressing Divine Body and the Flying Immortal Body—when both appeared, they were simply invincible. Although Li Qiye’s Flying Immortal Body had yet to reach Minor Achievement, it was close. The Body Tribulation for his Flying Immortal Body was very, very near.
Two Immortal Bodies working in tandem was a terrifying prospect. Absolute weight combined with absolute speed meant he could destroy everything. His body was the most powerful weapon.
Moreover, the Flying Immortal Body possessed the world’s greatest speed. Nothing could catch it, and nothing could stop it.
With both Immortal Bodies unleashed, Li Qiye had no need for Cultivation Techniques or Emperor Techniques. He could kill his enemies just by relying on his Immortal Bodies.
If one only cultivated a single Immortal Body, their offensive capabilities would be somewhat limited. For example, the Flying Immortal Body was only unmatched in speed, while the Prison Suppressing Divine Body was only peerless in weight. But when speed and weight were combined, a straight-forward collision was the best form of Attack. There were no Techniques, no Cultivation Techniques, no Mysteries of the Great Dao. There was only the purest weight, only the ultimate speed. Under these two Immortal Bodies, everything became so simple.
Everyone was dumbfounded, utterly shocked. Whether it was the cultivators from the various clans outside the Oasis, or the young Ghost Race cultivators within it, they were all scared silly.
Slaughtering a thousand enemies with a single sword was already terrifying enough, but Li Qiye had then, in a flash, broken the Ghost Zen Secret Array and killed Qing Jinzi and the other two. Among the four of them, Prince Shen Ran was a bit weaker, but Qing Jinzi and the others were Little Saint Venerables, some even at the Great Perfection stage.
And yet, whether it was the supreme Ghost Zen Secret Array or a Little Saint Venerable at Great Perfection, everything was turned to ash in an instant.
Qiu Rong Wanxue was equally stunned. ‘I knew he was strong,’ she thought, ‘but I never imagined he would be *this* strong. Slaughtering a thousand with one sword, easily destroying the Grand Array, and killing Qing Jinzi and the others… this is clearly beyond the realm of a Little Saint Venerable.’
Before this, Qiu Rong Wanxue had been worried for her Young Master’s safety, afraid he would be overwhelmed by numbers. Only now did she understand that her worries had been completely unnecessary.
Everyone had originally thought Li Qiye would die inside the Ghost Monk’s supreme secret array. After all, the Ghost Zen Clan’s supreme secret array was a notoriously vicious formation. Once trapped inside, if one couldn’t break out within three quarters, they would be subject to Refinement and turned into a puppet.
In fact, with Little Saint Venerables like Qing Jinzi and his companions presiding over the Grand Array, forget a Little Saint Venerable, even a Great Saint Venerable would have found it difficult to break out within three quarters.
Therefore, everyone had thought Li Qiye rushing recklessly into the Ghost Zen Supreme Secret Array was simply courting death. They thought it was impossible for him to break the array within three quarters; the time was just too short.
