Free Web NovelChapter 543: Chapter 27: Rescue (Part 2)
Opportunities abound, making breakthroughs easier.
The Central Plains are in turmoil,
which is a great calamity for those seeking a stable life, but for cultivators, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Of course,
there’s no shortage of dangers during this time.
But who would be willing to pass up such an opportunity?
Besides, do you think hiding in the deep mountains will let you escape the impending disaster?
History has proven this is just wishful thinking. Those who hid in secret places have also been affected by falling calamities, driven to madness.
Since there’s no avoiding it, one might as well actively participate; there might be an opportunity for even greater gains.
"I see."
Fang Zheng understood:
"Speaking of which, the Yin and Yang Dao Soldiers of the Little Night Palace are unique. I wonder if I, Fang, will have the chance to see them."
"The Dao Soldiers of the Immortal Sect, though small in numbers, are precise and cannot compare to the Military Array." Ling Shan shook his head:
"The Yin and Yang Dao Soldiers have been passed down for thousands of years with hardly any change, while the Military Array has undergone numerous evolutions."
"Ten thousand form an array, unstoppable!"
"A million elite soldiers can sweep across the world!"
"This is truly great momentum!"
He admired the Military Array, and it was indeed so. When the Great Wei rose to conquer the world at its peak, they had an army of millions. At that time, the prestige of the Wei Dynasty’s Imperial Court was such that many major factions of the Immortal Sect had to submit, and none dared defy the court’s orders.
Unfortunately...
"Hmm?"
Fang Zheng suddenly looked up, a look of joy on his face:
"I sense Heng’Er’s presence!"
He had left a backhand on Fang Heng, and as long as they were within thirty kilometers, he could sense him.
Now,
this confirmed that Li Yingxuan’s information was true, and Fang Heng was nearby.
But in the next moment...
"Rustle!"
The Wind and Cloud Banner in Fang Zheng’s hand trembled violently. He refocused his mind and squinted at the empty road ahead.
His face suddenly turned serious.
"Hyah!"
With a low shout, Fang Zheng squeezed the horse’s flanks with his legs, and the strong horse charged forward, leading the private soldiers.
"Charge!"
"Clang..."
The private soldiers, though unclear of the situation, grasped their swords, spears, and halberds at the sound.
A murderous intent condensed into form.
"Rustle..."
The Long Banner in Fang Zheng’s hand shook rapidly, rolling towards the long pole, instantly transforming into the shape of a spear.
"Kill!"
Fang Zheng shouted lowly.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Thirty-six riders shouted in unison, their furious energy surging, accompanied by Fang Zheng’s abrupt thrust of the spear forward.
"Boom!"
In the void,
it seemed as if a massive hole had been pierced by this thrust. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
A visible shockwave surged along the direction the ’spear’ pointed, rushing towards the road ahead.
In an instant.
The hundred-meter-long official road trembled violently.
The solid ground seemed plowed, with numerous fissures appearing, and the terrifying qi swept in all directions.
Dozens of assassins hidden on both sides of the road were thrown into the air, already covered in wounds before they hit the ground.
Not just the assassins.
On a distant hillside, three cross-legged Mages spewed blood, perishing from the backlash of the array.
"Go!"
Fang Zheng retracted the ’spear’, his face serious:
"Be careful, there’s an ambush."
"My lord," Lu Zhi frowned, confused in his tone:
"How could there be an ambush?"
"Never mind that," Fang Zheng shook his head:
"Be careful!"
Before he finished speaking, a warning surged in his heart. He flexed his fingers, and a Turtle Shell suddenly expanded and charged forward.
"Crash!"
"Crack, crack..."
One by one, the threads were snapped by the Turtle Shell.
Ahead, invisible to the naked eye, strings of steel wires had somehow been drawn across.
No!
They should be spider silk.
Spider silk is so fine it’s almost invisible, yet extremely sharp.
Even the sturdy Profound Turtle Shell, when cut by the spider silk, was covered in cracks, becoming unusable in a blink of an eye.
If it were a person...
They would likely be torn apart by the spider silk!
At this sight, everyone’s faces turned pale, filled with dread, and even the battle array showed signs of chaos.
"Cackle..."
At this moment, a strange howl sounded.
As a dense fog descended, a grotesque figure lunged towards Fang Zheng.
The Celestial Spider Ascendant shrieked:
"Fang brat, meet your doom!"
"Humph!"
Before he finished speaking, a cold snort suddenly rose beside him, followed by endless darkness entering his senses, and a hint of sharp Sword Intent appeared.
Not good!
The Celestial Spider Ascendant’s heart pounded, letting out a fierce roar, and visible soundwaves blasted from his mouth.
A streak of dark sword light appeared amidst the soundwave.
"Boom!"
The soundwave and sword light collided, and two figures simultaneously retreated.
"Dark Star Unwarranted Sword!"
The Celestial Spider Ascendant shook his cloak, revealing a massive spider phantom behind him, baring its fangs and claws:
"You are from the Little Night Palace!"
"Indeed." Ling Shan appeared above the spider at some unknown time, stepping on Qingfeng and watching the other:
"Disciple of the Spider Emperor, Celestial Spider Ascendant, I’ve long heard of your great name. Finally seeing you today, it truly lives up to the reputation."
"It’s me." The Celestial Spider Ascendant shifted his body:
"Knowing my master’s name, you still dare to take me on?"
"Humph!"
Ling Shan snorted coldly:
"The Spider Emperor is impressive, but you, sir, may not be. Aren’t you just the defeated subordinate of the Commandery Princess!"
"You..."
The Celestial Spider Ascendant showed anger, suddenly pouncing as if to strike, but then turned and fled.
He was inherently cowardly, always bullying those weaker than himself.
Even when dealing with Fang Zheng, he resorted to ambush tactics. Now sensing something amiss, he first thought of fleeing.
"Swipe!"
A phantasm appeared before him, and a dark Ghost Claw abruptly reached out.
"Bang!"
Arms clashed, and the Celestial Spider Ascendant’s face changed dramatically:
"Ghost King!"
The Ghost King hovered in mid-air, surrounded by dim voids, as if devouring the sunlight, with an awe-inspiring might.
"Swipe!"
The Celestial Spider Ascendant turned again, but his movements paused.
"Since you’ve come, why be in a hurry to leave?" Nearby, the void rippled as Li Yingxuan stepped out, holding a Jade Ruyi:
