Chapter 224: Chapter 146: Lure the Enemy into the Trap (Part 2)
Having contemplated the causes and consequences, Liou Yuan did not immediately take out the array disc from the storage bag to destroy it.
Since he had already been exposed, he thought about what he could do with the array disc in his pocket.
Soon, Liou Yuan came up with a plan.
"Those two guys definitely know about my purchase of the array disc. The reason they’re hesitating at the canyon entrance, refusing to come in, is because they’re wary of my formations."
"Heh, there will come a time when you can’t hold back."
Liou Yuan’s purchase of the array disc being exposed also meant his study of arrays was exposed.
Therefore, the reason why Liou Tao and the other had hesitated at the canyon entrance was also clear.
Thinking of this, Liou Yuan utilized the Night Concealing Mask for invisibility and slipped into the depths of the canyon through the dark shadows.
Several hundred feet from the canyon entrance, Liou Yuan used the Celestial Calculation Skill for Taming Objects to send all the array discs from the storage bag shooting toward the depths of the canyon.
He didn’t even bother to see where those discs landed.
Turning around, he swiftly dashed back toward the canyon entrance.
As Liou Yuan was tossing the array discs,
Liou Tao, who was blocking the canyon entrance, furrowed his brow.
For as the array discs shot out, the silver compass he carried, which locked onto the tracking array mark, also started to swing rapidly.
"Liou Yuan must have detected us and is now fleeing deeper into the canyon."
Liou Tao put the compass back into his pocket, gazing into the canyon’s depths, an endless abyss.
He was also worried the canyon might have another exit.
If Liou Yuan escaped, getting him next time would be troublesome.
"Go in!" Liou Tao hesitated only for a moment before making a decision.
Liou Fang, having long grown impatient, would have rushed in if it weren’t for Liou Tao’s status.
Upon hearing the order, he no longer hesitated, shooting into the canyon entrance first.
At the same time, Liou Yuan returned to the dark shadow where he had previously hidden.
Seeing the two finally couldn’t resist coming in, a sinister smile appeared on his brow.
"I guessed right, it really is about the array discs."
Using the invisibility of the Night Concealing Mask, Liou Yuan used the array discs as bait to successfully lure Liou Tao and the other into the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array at the canyon.
Outside, one against two, Liou Yuan might not stand a chance.
But inside the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array, it was a different story.
Such was the deterrence of an Array Master, setting up in advance and inviting foes in, able to exert power far exceeding his realm.
Neither Liou Tao nor Liou Fang had any understanding of arrays.
They couldn’t even see the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array that Liou Yuan had hidden at the canyon entrance.
Both swiftly advanced directly into the array’s range.
Liou Fang, relying on his position as a body cultivator, led the way, with Liou Tao several paces behind.
Having suffered under Liou Yuan’s hand before, whether deliberately or not, Liou Tao intentionally slowed his pace.
Liou Fang noticed it, too, but he didn’t mind; instead, he secretly scorned Liou Tao’s caution.
"Just a reckless person born with a silver spoon, enjoying the privileges of a prestigious family," he thought.
"Without that background, Liou Tao is nothing special."
While Liou Fang sneered inwardly,
"Something’s wrong!" he shouted, his steps in the canyon abruptly halted, his face rife with hesitation.
The canyon floor where he stood was strewn with gravel, reddish-brown stones scattered about, seemingly unremarkable.
Upon entering this area,
The scattered stones began to crack.
Crack, crack, crack! Amidst a dense shattering, countless stones exploded on the ground, turning to dust.
And from those shattering stones, golden beams flashed.
Initially encircling Liou Fang, as he noticed the peculiarity of the golden light,
He found himself surrounded by golden radiance.
"Damn, an array!" Liou Fang roared, about to retreat along his path.
Yet the golden radiance left no gaps in any direction.
Liou Fang’s movement,
Whish, whish, whish! incited the golden beams to attack him simultaneously.
As a Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer body cultivator, Liou Fang’s aura was already exposed.
Finding no escape, he gritted his teeth, raising his aura to create a defense around his body. freewebnovёl.ƈom
Clang, clang, clang!!!
After a dense rain of hits, Liou Fang’s body was flung by the golden beam’s power, crashing hard into the array barrier of the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array.
In the darkness, Liou Yuan’s eyes were fixed on Liou Fang’s every move.
Seeing him repeatedly forced back by the array’s power, yet without a trace of joy on his face.
Liou Fang, though seemingly in a sorry state, bore no injuries.
At this rate, he could endure the array’s assault for some time.
"Indeed, this simplified version of the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array struggles to kill a Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer cultivator."
"Especially since this guy is a physically formidable, defense-oriented body cultivator, making him even tougher to kill. I’ll have to intervene personally."
With this thought, Liou Yuan placed his hand on the Canglan Sword but did not move, his gaze fixed beyond the array, on the sullen young figure there.
Liou Tao was cunning, deliberately keeping a distance from Liou Fang.
Thus, when Liou Fang entered the array, Liou Tao was still some distance away.
