Chen Ze stood quietly to one side, watching the battle with his arms folded across his chest, showing no intention of intervening. Lin Bingchun alone was more than enough to deal with this man.
Sure enough, Bi Yutao began moving his hands again, muttering incantations under his breath.
This time, the spiritual power around him resembled boiling water, surging and churning wildly.
The ground beneath his feet became the center of spreading, bizarre black patterns. Wherever they passed, bricks and stone crumbled into powder.
"Have a taste of the might of my Nine Nether Soul Devouring Array!" Bi Yutao roared.
Those black patterns instantly rose from the ground, turning into pillars of black light that interwove and trapped Lin Bingchun within.
Inside the array, the cries of ghosts and howls of wolves rose and fell, as though countless resentful souls were shrieking, sending chills down one's spine.
Streams of black energy coiled around Lin Bingchun like venomous snakes, seemingly intent on corroding his spiritual power and devouring his mind.
Yet Lin Bingchun stood within the array without the slightest fear, like a war god descending upon the world. He slammed his spear into the ground.
A golden ripple of spiritual power spread outward from him, colliding with the black currents and producing a series of sizzling sounds.
"Such paltry tricks, and you dare show off before me!" Lin Bingchun bellowed. His spear danced so swiftly that it formed an impenetrable curtain. As spear light flashed, he shattered the black pillars one after another, sending fragments flying everywhere.
Watching from outside the array, Chen Ze's heart stirred slightly. Others could not see the hidden mystery within Lin Bingchun's move, but he saw it with perfect clarity.
The golden spiritual power Lin Bingchun had released clearly contained a trace of Gold Law.
