Free Web NovelChapter 510: Chapter 507: Array Formation
Mo Qi’s words made Feng Qing’s eyelid twitch sharply.
"What exactly do you know?" Feng Qing asked coldly.
Mo Qi drew his gaze back, a mocking smile on his face. "Are you sure you want me to say it out loud?"
Looking into Mo Qi’s knowing eyes, Feng Qing realized Mo Qi had probably seen right through his secret.
"Hmph, stop putting on an act. If you have such a great idea for getting us out of this mess, then let’s hear it!" Feng Qing quickly changed the subject.
Although he was the second son from the City Lord’s Mansion, he didn’t dare incur the wrath of the crowd.
The crowd might be looking to him for leadership now, but if his plan to sacrifice them was exposed, they would turn on him in an instant.
When that happened, he would meet a miserable end.
Mo Qi had no intention of exposing Feng Qing. ’It’s none of my business, as long as it doesn’t stop me from getting what I want.’
"As I just said, my Cultivation may not be high, but I’ve studied Arrays."
Mo Qi pointed to the surrounding highlands. "I’ve surveyed the area. We’re at the bottom of a valley, and the surrounding terrain is perfect for setting up an Array." freewēbnoveℓ.com
"With enough resources, I can set up a massive Illusion Array to cover the entire valley. It won’t be able to destroy these Abyssal Demons, but it will be more than enough to hide us from them. Then we can use the opportunity to escape."
Feng Qing let out a cold laugh.
"And here I was, wondering what brilliant plan you had. Turns out it’s just another Array. It’s not that I look down on you, but with your mere Vajra Realm Cultivation, what kind of Array could you possibly set up?"
Dai Zhen also shook his head. "An Array that can cover this entire valley would be incredibly difficult to set up. Not only that, but it would have to handle all those Abyssal Demons. We only have an hour. Kid, are you messing with us?"
If Mo Qi really had a better plan, Dai Zhen wouldn’t have minded siding with him.
The problem was that Mo Qi’s proposal seemed far too unfeasible.
It was pure fantasy.
The hopeful crowd shook their heads and sighed in disappointment.
Seeing this, Feng Qing shot a look at Sun Shou, who stood beside him.
’Since Mo Qi has seen through my secret, I can’t let him live.’
Sun Shou was Feng Qing’s lackey, as well as the heir to the Patriarch of the Sun Family in Yunfeng City.
At Feng Qing’s signal, Sun Shou immediately stepped forward, glaring at Mo Qi.
"Kid, what’s your game, constantly wasting our time? There’s a time and place to be a show-off! If I don’t teach you a lesson today, how can I face Feng Qing, who has been working himself to the bone for our safety!"
With that, he prepared to strike Mo Qi.
Mo Qi looked at Sun Shou as if he were an idiot.
’Did this guy get his head slammed in a door or something?’
’I’m trying to save you people!’
’Working himself to the bone? I guess that’s not wrong. But the only thing Feng Qing’s working so hard on is how to sacrifice every last one of you.’
Mo Qi’s feet shifted, and with a flicker of his body, he dodged Sun Shou’s attack.
"Are you sure you want to fight me right now?" Mo Qi asked, pointing up at the crumbling Pocket World Protection Umbrella.
Sun Shou froze. It was true that now was not the time for an internal fight, but he had no choice but to obey Feng Qing.
"Kid, you keep claiming you can set up an Array to cover the whole valley. If you can’t even beat me, wouldn’t that make you a complete joke!"
With that, Sun Shou attacked again, forming a sword-finger with two fingers and thrusting it toward Mo Qi’s chest.
Although the others felt this was wrong, no one stepped forward to stop him.
Perhaps, deep in their hearts, they still held some kind of expectation.
"Brother Mo, that’s Sun Shou, the heir to the Sun Family," Gu Peng sent via voice transmission from a short distance away. "The Sun Family is quite powerful, so whatever you do, don’t kill him."
After seeing Mo Qi defeat seven Void Realm experts from the Demon Sect in a single move, he wasn’t worried about Mo Qi’s safety at all. Instead, he was afraid Mo Qi might be too heavy-handed and take Sun Shou’s life.
"Alright, we’re running out of time. Stop fooling around."
Just as Sun Shou’s sword-finger was about to connect, Mo Qi casually raised his hand. Though he moved later, he struck first, grabbing Sun Shou’s head from the side and slamming it into the ground.
Before Sun Shou could even react, his world turned upside down as an irresistible force flipped him a full one hundred and eighty degrees.
BOOM!
Then, his vision went black, and Sun Shou passed out.
To the onlookers, Sun Shou seemed as fragile as a scarecrow. Mo Qi had planted him headfirst into the ground, leaving only his twitching body and legs exposed.
"So mischievous," Mo Qi said, clapping his hands to brush off the dust.
Sun Shou was merely at Early-stage Void Realm Cultivation. To Mo Qi, he could be described in a single word: weak.
He didn’t even need to use his Five Elements Dominating Body. His raw physical strength alone was enough to dominate Sun Shou completely.
The expressions on Feng Qing and Dai Zhen’s faces changed, while the others stared with their mouths agape, their faces filled with disbelief.
A Vajra Realm cultivator had defeated a Void Realm expert in a single move!
If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they would have thought they were dreaming.
"You hid your Cultivation?" Feng Qing’s expression turned grim.
Sun Shou’s Cultivation was lower than his, but he knew he couldn’t have defeated him as effortlessly as Mo Qi just had.
’Could it be that this kid is even stronger than me?’
Mo Qi gave a noncommittal shrug. "Don’t be so quick to jump to conclusions. Who says someone in the Vajra Realm can’t set up an Array to cover a valley?"
"Just watch me."
Mo Qi raised a hand, and hundreds, even thousands, of Array Flags flew into the air.
As his hands flew through a series of seals, some of the Array Flags settled in specific positions and sequences around the valley, while others embedded themselves in the empty air.
Most of the people present were Alchemy Masters and Artifact Refiners, so they all had at least some basic knowledge of Arrays.
They were far from experts, but they could still tell what was happening.
Mo Qi’s Array Formation technique was masterful, and the sheer scale of it was something that even the veteran experts in their own families couldn’t hope to match.
"Can he really pull it off?" Feng Qing’s brow was tightly furrowed.
He hated the feeling of the situation slipping out of his control.
"Array, activate!"
At that moment, Mo Qi stomped his foot hard, slamming the Array Seal he had formed in his hands into the ground.
RUMBLE!
The earth began to tremble violently.
A wave of white light radiated out from Mo Qi, connecting with each of the Array Flags.
SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
Beams of different colors shot out from every Array Flag, flying skyward and converging to form a massive, multi-colored sphere of light.
VWOOM!
The multi-colored sphere of light released a peculiar wave of Energy that quickly spread to cover the entire valley, enveloping even the Pocket World Protection Umbrella.
The Energy continued to spread outward, but it stopped after expanding less than ten feet.
To the crowd’s astonishment, within that ten-foot range, the Abyssal Demons, which had been in a state of frenzied violence, suddenly fell silent.
One could see that the eyes of these pacified Abyssal Demons were filled with confusion.
They began to wander about aimlessly, like walking corpses.
However, the moment they stepped outside that ten-foot range, the confusion in their eyes vanished, and they instantly reverted to their former selves, resuming their desperate assault on the Pocket World Protection Umbrella.
Yet, as soon as they re-entered the ten-foot zone, they would fall silent once more.
