Chapter 347: Chapter 345 Forbidden Space (For Reader Alliance Leader 1651189527222317056) _1
"Good!"
Fang Xi applauded admiringly, "As expected of a Core Formation cultivator from a major sect, with unparalleled experience in magic duels... You know better than to get entangled with me within the array."
"Ultimately, I’m still no match for you, sir. This Ten Thousand Ghosts Array is not merely a third-order formation; its foundation is incredibly solid... It actually seems to possess the Power of Earth Vein, constituting a Great Array with its own space. I presume the source of the magic power of the array is those Ten Thousand Living Souls?"
Wei Yingfan seemed to have given on breaking out of the array and opened his mouth again, as streaks of golden light emerged, revealing a set of nine flying swords floating in front of him, ready for action.
His expression was solemn, knowing he probably had hit a snag this time.
"Before we begin, I still have to ask."
Fang Xi glanced at Bi Yunzi, then at Wei Yingfan, and suddenly flashed a toothy grin, "May I know... the venerable ages of the two gentlemen?"
"Gladly..."
Bi, the old ghost, rolled his eyes, "I’m over four hundred years old, nearing the end of my lifespan... At this point, I am willing to risk it all! As for this Sir Wei, he is probably not yet two hundred years old, and he has hope for forming a Nascent Soul!"
What Cultivation World fears the most is not the newly established Core Formation cultivators.
After all, such cultivators might not even have their life-bound magical artifact, and are considered weak among their peers!
Instead, it’s these old Golden Core cultivators who are nearing the end of their lifespan and could pull someone down with them at any time.
Even if they are only at the early stages of Core Formation, their life-bound magical artifacts have been nurtured over many years, making their power truly formidable.
The elders of Tian Sha were also more avoided the closer they were to their lifespan’s limit.
Some major powers even like to hire such high-level cultivators for one last fight, which often could take down several Core Formation-level enemies or even one genius from the opposing side.
"I see... Then you can go die now."
Fang Xi nodded, and the Mysterious Fire Zombie suddenly pounced, followed by the Yin Yang Ghost King, attacking Bi Yunzi.
Such a frail old man wasn’t worth him expending his lifespan to unleash the Kuyong Mysterious Light.
And Wei Yingfan was too young; Fang Xi was reluctant to waste him as well.
"As I thought... in the end, I’ll have to do it myself."
Fang Xi stretched lazily, his aura of the Kuyong Skills concealing secret techniques dissipating in an instant.
Subsequently, a horrifying surge of magic power began to recklessly spread around him.
Roar roar!
He casually threw the Demon Pearl he held in his hand, and a Lion Tiger Beast leaped out from it, roaring before it no longer dared to attack its master, whining like a cat before glaring fiercely at the enemy.
"You’re already at the late stage of Core Formation?!"
Wei Yingfan’s face was filled with disbelief, his demeanor changing drastically as he spoke haltingly.
At that moment, with Bi Yunzi besieged by the Mysterious Fire Zombie and the two great Ghost Kings, he was already stretched thin.
The addition of the Lion Tiger Beast was like the last straw that broke the camel’s back!
The Mysterious Fire Zombie made a grab, and countless pitch-black Demon Fires ignited, trapping a magical net artifact in its hands.
The Lion Tiger Beast howled and in a flash of Wind Escape, appeared behind Bi, the old ghost, piercing through his protective magical aura with a single claw.
"Kek kek..."
Amid the ghastly laughter, the Yin Yang Ghost King stepped forward, grabbed the body of the man, and gave a tug.
Bi, the old ghost, immediately spilled blood on the spot and was devoured by the two Ghost Kings.
...
Seeing that a Core Formation mid-stage cultivator was dismembered by ghastly spirits in an instant, even Wei Yingfan couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his eyes.
His cultivation was only a bit more profound than that of the old ghost Bi, with no substantial difference.
He only managed to dominate the old ghost using the subtle and profound Daoist arts of the Void Sect.
But this ’Yun Jiezi,’ had he been hiding his power too deeply?
Not only did he have two mid-stage Core Formation Ghost Kings and a third-order Refining Corpses but also this Lion Tiger Beast...
However, Wei Yingfan had no time to ponder further.
After killing Bi, the old ghost, Fang Xi furiously urged his magic spell.
The Lion Tiger Beast roared first and charged like a whirlwind.
"Go!"
Wei Yingfan pointed at his life-bound Flying Sword, and three magical flying swords flew out in succession, forming a Three Talents Array to trap the Lion Tiger Beast within.
By then, the Mysterious Fire Zombie was also slowly approaching, each step seeming to pound on Wei Yingfan’s heart.
The zombie’s face was expressionless, and it suddenly opened its large mouth, emitting bunches of pitch-black corpse fire, carrying the might of flames that could burn the heavens and destroy the earth!
The black flames expanded wildly, transforming into a pitch-black fire dragon, baring its fangs and claws in a most terrifying manner.
Wei Yingfan clenched his teeth and manipulated his sword spell.
Three more golden flying swords emerged, merging into one in mid-air, transforming into a massive golden sword adorned with ancient patterns, emitting golden flames, and clashing with the black fire dragon.
Wuwu!
Just then, Wei Yingfan suddenly felt a chill at his back, his hairs nearly standing on end.
For a Core Formation cultivator, such a thing was almost impossible.
In the next moment, the Yin Yang Ghost Kings appeared behind him, their sharp claws striking down.
Hum hum!
At the critical moment, the Void Tower roared, emitting a layer of murky light, like a shield enveloping Wei Yingfan within.
Swish, swish!
Wei Yingfan gritted his teeth, launching two golden flying swords, leaving only his life-bound spirit sword to protect his body. His fingers flicked continuously, sending out streaks of golden sword Qi, fiercely battling the Yin Yang Ghost King.
...
"This person... his cultivation is quite good."
Fang Xi stood with his hands behind his back, watching the battle unfold, and casually made a comment.
"Combined with the Yin Yang Ghost King, he can fight against an ordinary Core Formation late-stage cultivator. Yet, he can hold on... Even though he hasn’t broken through, his cultivation has reached the peak of the Core Formation mid-stage... and his spells are exquisite, his life-bound magical artifact is top-tier, and the defensive Void Tower is not bad either."
"Unfortunately... You have exerted all your strength, and I haven’t made my move yet."
Fang Xi had not yet fully displayed the last Nascent Soul late-stage ghost king in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner or the true power of the ’Ten Thousand Ghosts Array.’
Let alone that, with his late-stage Core Formation cultivation, his Yi Wood Divine Light already surpassed the magical artifacts of many Core Formation cultivators.
Therefore, Fang Xi was not in a hurry at all. He simply sealed the surroundings with the Array and slowly whittled down the man’s magic power, concurrently practicing the various changes of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Array for himself.
"Roar, roar!"
Moments later, the Mysterious Fire Zombie roared, throwing both fists down hard upon the giant golden sword.
The golden giant sword immediately showed numerous cracks and finally let out a mournful sound, transforming into three smaller golden swords, flying back to Wei Yingfan’s side. He inhaled them into his body, turning slightly paler – evidently, his life-bound magical artifact had sustained some damage.
Meanwhile, another Three Talents Sword Array trapped the Lion Tiger Beast within it, still appearing to have the upper hand.
However, Wei Yingfan himself, who was fighting the Yin Yang Ghost King, was stretched thin and felt his magic power almost half depleted. His face darkened as he said, "Yun Jiezi, I’ll remember you. Once I break through to the late-stage Core Formation... No... after the Nascent Soul, I must kill you!"
Suddenly, he formed a hand gesture, recalling all his golden flying swords to swirl around him.
The Void Tower roared, a larger and thicker layer of grey light emerged to protect him within, allowing him to withstand the frenzied attacks of the Yin Yang Ghost King and the Mysterious Fire Zombie for a short while.
Seizing this opportunity, Wei Yingfan gritted his teeth and took out another jade talisman from his storage bracelet.
This jade talisman had an ancient design, dotted with signs of soil infiltration, as if it had weathered the passing of time.
At its four corners, it was covered with dense talisman patterns, and in the center was a silver seal script, resembling a bird about to take flight!
"Hmm?"
Fang Xi’s powerful Divine Consciousness was always focused on the movements of the enemy on the battlefield and naturally had noticed this action early on.
"A third-tier Array that can seal the Void... and yet he still produced this talisman, which means it must be capable of breaking through the Array, even sustaining me a heavy injury... Could it be a fourth-tier talisman?"
"Indeed, a Nascent Soul seed – how could he not have one or two life-saving items on him?"
"Though his words suggest they are mostly for preservation, I should still be cautious..."
Fang Xi immediately cast a talisman, leaving behind an extremely lifelike illusion of himself, while he disappeared into the layers of Ghost Mist of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Array.
As long as you’re within a third-tier Great Array, it’s very difficult for an Array Master to be injured unless the Array is broken!
The next moment, Wei Yingfan bit the tip of his tongue and sprayed his essence blood onto the jade talisman, starting to activate the talisman at the cost of his own Primordial Energy.
The jade talisman lifted off, the silver seal script within bursting into countless rays of light, actually tearing apart the space!
"It can actually break through the Void Sealing of a third-tier Great Array..."
Fang Xi’s pupils shrank slightly, suddenly thinking of something as he tossed something into the air.
A jade talisman was also thrown out, the damaged ’Void Jade Symbol’!
This talisman shattered as it entered the silver light, releasing a burst of Void Force...
And then... it seemed to disrupt the operations of the ancient talisman, completely scrambling the smooth flow of Void Force into a chaotic swirl of silver streams...
Seeing this, Fang Xi didn’t just retreat as if fearing venom, but he also manipulated the Mysterious Fire Zombie and his other subordinates to quickly back away.
"This is the twisting of the Void... Even magical artifacts can be directly damaged if they fall into it..."
"This Saint was probably trying to teleport to save his life with this talisman... Although my damaged Void Jade Symbol is almost useless, its inherent Void Force has disrupted the other’s Void Force, creating turbulent flows... If Wei Yingfan still dares to enter it, then I would truly admire him."
...
"Damn it!"
Indeed, seeing the original Void Passage transform into a twisting Void, Wei Yingfan’s expression that briefly showed a hint of pride instantly froze on his face, even revealing a trace of fear: "What kind of talisman is this, that it can stop the ’Grand Translocation Talisman’ of the ancient cultivators?"
"My self-created ’Prohibition Space Talisman’!"
Fang Xi laughed heartily, sending a magic spell into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
Wuu wuu!
Surrounded by the howling of ten thousand living souls, a terrifying ghost king appeared, its fluctuations in magic power turning Wei Yingfan’s face ashen: "Late-stage Core Formation... another late-stage, no, I’m so full of hate!"
But it was already too late.
Fang Xi waved the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, finally using the power of the Array.
Swish, swish!
A series of grey light pillars descended, trapping Wei Yingfan within, and a series of pitch-black chains formed, like steel dragons wrapping around Wei Yingfan!
Boom!
After withstanding several waves of attacks, the Void Tower let out a wail and cracked apart!
Wei Yingfan’s expression changed dramatically, and as he tried to locate Fang Xi, he helplessly found that spirits surrounded him on all sides – where was Fang Xi’s figure to be seen?
The Mysterious Fire Zombie roared, its iron fist heavily pounding on Wei Yingfan’s protective baoguang, making it nearly collapse...
