Afterwards, several simplified arrays fell on Lu Hongwei, fortifying him, while spiritual arrays fell around, suppressing the strength of the Liang Family Ancestor.
Li Zhiqing's arrays were akin to buffs in a game. Compared to mere buffs, arrays had more functions and effects. The most update n0vels are published on ɴo(v)elFɪre.ɴet
Boom! The spiritual array on the Liang Family Ancestor exploded with surging spiritual power. Li Zhiqing wasn't surprised; he hadn't intended for a few simple array patterns to affect the Liang Family Ancestor.
Li Zhiqing held the universal array plate in his left hand, while his right hand continuously grabbed items from his backpack and scattered them around. He was setting up a real array, enabling an array master to defeat powerful enemies.
Before this, Lu Hongwei would buy him time by holding back the Liang Family Ancestor.
Bam! The soil above the corridor flew up, revealing the underground treasure site. Under Lu Hongwei's deliberate control, the stone door remained unharmed.
The Liang Family Ancestor followed Lu Yu's order to slay the two. His internal spiritual power burst out, transforming into various strange beasts that lunged at the two. This was the technique he cultivated — the Hundred Beasts Technique.
He could refine the souls of strange beasts into his attack methods. As long as his spiritual power wasn't depleted, he could continuously release strange beast attacks against the opponent.
Each strange beast's strength equaled that of a Martial Cultivator at the third level of the Qi Sea realm. Dozens of strange beasts launched a frenzied attack on Lu Hongwei.
Lu Hongwei fully activated a pair of ring-shaped sharp spiritual weapons, crazily slicing the attacking strange beasts, while also forming a spiritual power flood dragon to surround himself, blocking the strange beast attacks and protecting Li Zhiqing.
The sounds of battle from the back mountain startled the town's residents in Meishan Town. Frightened children cried, and the townsfolk worriedly watched the distant explosions, fearing those strong fighters might come into town and impact Meishan Town.
Shopkeeper Wu hadn't slept, waiting for Lu Yu to return. Seeing the distant explosion light, he felt a bit anxious.
Such might couldn't be unleashed by a Qi Control realm expert. If the battle affected Meishan Town, no one would be able to withstand it.
Fights between Qi Sea realm experts mostly revolved around spiritual power depletion. Unless one can burst forth with damage exceeding a Qi Sea realm expert's defense limit, the battle ultimately becomes a contest of endurance.
The Liang Family Ancestor, while holding an advantage, couldn't quickly defeat Lu Hongwei. Despite feeling significant pressure, Lu Hongwei felt confident as Li Zhiqing hurriedly set up the array behind him.
The only concern was whether Huang Lao San and the others could handle the cloaked figures invading the treasure site.
Entering the stone door, Lu Yu removed the Shadow Cloak upon seeing it close.
The Shadow Cloak wasn't a defensive spiritual treasure, and it's relatively fragile, easily damaged in battle.
Lu Yu didn't want to break the Shadow Cloak, which could only be bought once a month.
Wu Ping was shocked seeing the cloaked person's true face, exclaiming, "Lu Yu!"
Huang Lao San narrowed his eyes, carefully observing Lu Yu's strength.
He noted Lu Yu's spiritual power wasn't strong, but he felt no relief.
Because he sensed the abundant Qi Blood flowing within Lu Yu, merely standing there and confronting Lu Yu made him feel some stagnation in his Qi Blood, experiencing a strong oppression.
Cao Hong and Liu Feng were also taken aback, not expecting the cloaked person to be their previous target. They became vigilant, especially Liu Feng, who almost got shot by Lu Yu and greatly feared him.
Liu Feng tightly watched Lu Yu's hands, ready to dodge whenever necessary; he didn't want to be shot again.
Though his current strength compared to before has greatly improved, he remains apprehensive of the unstoppable arrows propelled by spiritual power, moving too fast to be seen.
The two Qi Cultivation novices, feeling irrelevant, utterly confused about what was happening, wondered why all the teammates knew the opponent, while only they remained clueless. They exchanged a glance, feeling a shared bond.
After their shock, Wu Ping's face lit up with ecstatic joy, "Lu Yu! I didn't expect you to come right to me. I thought I'd never have the chance for revenge!"
As he spoke, he took out a Bronze Short Spear, infusing it wildly with spiritual power; this was his Spirit-Breaking Flying Spear prepared for Lu Yu.
The Spirit-Breaking Flying Spear, a third-grade spiritual treasure, could pierce through the protective spiritual armor of Qi Control realm Martial Cultivators.
Forbidden weapons, exclusively used by the Great Zhou Dynasty's military, part of the Spirit-Breaking series of spiritual weapons.
In the army, the Spirit-Breaking Flying Spear is considered a spiritual weapon, but externally, it's merely a spiritual treasure due to the absence of the secret cultivation techniques for unleashing its true power.
While Spirit-Breaking series weapons might leak from the military, the techniques for mastering them wouldn't spread externally.
The Spirit-Breaking Flying Spear absorbed over 800 points of Wu Ping's spiritual power, hovering in mid-air, aimed at Lu Yu.
With a swish, the Spirit-Breaking Flying Spear hit Lu Yu before he could even hear the sound.
The profound aura surrounding his body, capable of withstanding peak Qi Cultivation attacks, was completely ineffective.
Seeing the Spirit-Breaking Flying Spear strike Lu Yu, Wu Ping initially smiled, but as he saw the spear stuck in Lu Yu's body, his smile gradually froze.
Poof! Lu Yu pulled out the Spirit-Breaking Flying Spear.
Everyone's eye corners twitched, wondering what kind of abnormal body this was!
When the Spirit-Breaking Flying Spear hit Lu Yu, he barely managed to grip the back half, his palm hurting from the rough bronze shaft.
The blood hole in Lu Yu's chest was closing tightly, without a drop of blood flowing out. The Spirit-Breaking Flying Spear that punctured his skin and chest muscles got lodged between his ribs, stuck and clamped by muscles, unable to advance further.
