Breaking the Array, Lu Qing's Terrifying Archery

The swordsman was blasted away by the Black-robed Figure with a single blow, staggering backward for dozens of meters before regaining his footing.

Looking ahead, an incredulous expression appeared on his face. "Your realm clearly hasn't broken through; you're still at the Innate Lesser Completion. Why is your power so strong?"

"Hahaha, this is the power of the magic array. However, a frog in a well with such shallow knowledge as you cannot imagine its mysteries. Yan Tianhua, today is your death day! After I kill you, I will flatten your Silver Moon Sect and Hundred Flowers Palace, and my Flowing Cloud Sect will be able to take over the entire Cloud Province!"

The Black-robed Figure laughed heartily, his long staff vibrating as he attacked the sword-wielding man once more.

Sensing the imposing aura emanating from the other party, the swordsman's heart sank to the bottom.

They knew it was impossible to break the formation on their own.

If things go wrong, he might even lose his life here.

But he was unwilling to leave just like that.

Many of the sect's elite disciples and Sect Master, as well as a group of fellow cultivators from Cloud Province, are in the formation. If he were to leave now, they would all likely die inside.

"Damn it, that old woman from the Hundred Flowers Palace is too afraid of death and refuses to leave the sect. Otherwise, if the two of them joined forces, how could they not break this Evil Formation!"

The swordsman harbored resentment in his heart. Faced with the attack of the Black-robed Figure, he could only grit his teeth and begin to stimulate the major acupoints around his body with his Innate True Qi, causing his aura to surge.

He swept his sword across, blocking the long staff, without taking a single step back.

It turned out to be a match for the Black-robed Figure.

"Oh, so you've used an explosive secret technique?" The Black-robed Figure chuckled. "However, I have the power of a magic array to continuously support you. How long can your Innate True Qi withstand such an outburst?"

"As long as I can defeat you, that's all that matters. Enough talk, let's go!"

The man with the sword said coldly.

"Very well, let's see how stubborn you are after I trample you under my feet!"

The Black-robed Figure chuckled lightly, and without using any explosive secret techniques, he relied on the power of the magic array to fight him again.

He intends to slowly wear down his longtime rival, like toying with a mouse.

"Master, have you figured anything out?"

Lu Qing, who was watching the battle from behind a Shitou, asked the Old Doctor next to him.

Although they were not far apart, both of them had unique ways of concealing their presence, so neither the Black-robed Figure nor the sword-wielding man, both at the Innate Realm, were able to detect their whereabouts.

"Both of these two are at the Innate Lesser Completion stage of the Innate Realm, but the black-robed man's strength has greatly increased thanks to the power of the array behind him. The Innate Realm wielding the sword can barely hold on by unleashing a secret technique, but it won't be long before he is defeated."

The Old Doctor said in a deep voice.

"That's what I think too, Master. This man in black robes must be here specifically to guard the formation and prevent others from breaking it."

"It seems the Flowing Cloud Sect has a grand scheme within this formation. We must break it quickly," Lu Qing said.

Because of the obstruction of the magic array, Lu Qing and the Old Doctor could not clearly perceive the situation within the array.

There's no way to fully understand what the Flowing Cloud Sect intended by creating this evil formation.

"So what should we do now?" the Old Doctor nodded.

"That man in black robes is empowered by a magic array, making him difficult to deal with. If we attack together and kill him directly, breaking the array will be much easier."

Lu Qing had already used his Supernatural Ability to discover the identities of the two people opposite him. The man with the sword was the Grand Elder of the Silver Moon Sect, and the man in black robes was the Grand Elder of the Flowing Cloud Sect, who was also the great-grandfather of Mo Xuan, whom he had stomped to death.

Since that's the case, there's even less reason to talk to him about martial ethics.

"Good!"

Upon hearing the suggestion, the Old Doctor nodded without hesitation.

He had none of the arrogance of Martial Artist disdained sneak attacks.

As a healer, he always put saving lives first. The person opposite him had clearly fallen into the demonic path, so it would be best to eliminate him directly.

Without hesitation, the master and apprentice took action.

The Old Doctor silently drew his long sword, a sharp white light faintly flickering within it.

Lu Qing, standing beside him, also drew three arrows from the quiver behind him, nocked them, and bent his bow.

He was not yet at the Innate Realm and could not use sword or saber energy, so he could only launch sneak attacks with a bow and arrow.

After a moment of preparation, the Old Doctor flicked his wrist, and a dazzling white sword aura suddenly flew out, tearing through the air and instantly traversing a distance of dozens of feet, slashing in front of the Black-robed Figure.

At the same time, the longbow in Lu Qing's hand also made a snapping sound, and three Thousand-Refined Grade arrows disappeared instantly, piercing the air and shooting towards the head, chest and abdomen of the Black-robed Figure.

"What!"

The Black-robed Figure, who had been tormenting the sword-wielding man with a relaxed attitude, never expected such a sudden turn of events, and his eyes widened abruptly.

He wanted to defend himself, but Lu Qing and the Old Doctor's ability to conceal their presence was simply too superb.

There was absolutely no warning before the attack was made, and by the time the Black-robed Figure noticed, it was too late to react.

They were about to be ambushed and killed by Lu Qing and the Old Doctor.

At the critical moment, black energy suddenly surged from the Black-robed Figure.

Boom! Lu Qing's three arrows and the Old Doctor's sword energy struck the Black-robed Figure without any deviation.

The overwhelming force not only shattered all the black energy on his body, but also sent him flying backward, spraying blood everywhere.

"Ah! What kind of scoundrel dares to ambush me!"

The Black-robed Figure flipped in mid-air, using the momentum of his retreat to disappear directly into the gray light curtain, filled with shock and rage.

His appearance at this moment was truly pitiful.

Between his chest and abdomen, there was a horrifying, diagonal wound, deep enough to expose the bone and even vaguely reveal his internal organs, almost cutting him in two.

He stared at the three long arrows in his forehead, chest, and abdomen, but they didn't penetrate deep enough to completely pierce through his flesh.

"He's still alive?"

Lu Qing was taken aback.

Although he hadn't used his full strength when he fired the three arrows just now, they were still something that an ordinary person with a naturally Innate Body couldn't withstand.

Unexpectedly, it was blocked so easily.

Moreover, even his master's sword energy failed to destroy it, indicating that the enhancement of the magic array's power was much stronger than he had imagined.

The sudden turn of events also took the sword-wielding man by surprise.

But when he saw the miserable state of the Black-robed Figure, he was overjoyed. "Who is the righteous one who has stepped forward to help?"

"It's you! Who are you?"

Now that Lu Qing and the Old Doctor had made their move, they could no longer hide their figures and were immediately spotted by the Black-robed Figure and the man with the sword.

Upon seeing this, both of them were shocked once again.

They never expected that it would be a teenager and an old man who would make the move.

More importantly, they couldn't even see through Lu Qing's and the Old Doctor's cultivation levels.

"Who are we? We are just passersby who saw injustice." Lu Qing said loudly, "The Flowing Cloud Sect set up a demonic array and harmed the righteous path in Cloud Province. This act has angered both heaven and man, and everyone has the right to kill them."

"Well said, young friend!" the sword-wielding man cheered loudly. "Gentlemen, please join me in breaking this demonic formation and rescuing our fellow cultivators from Cloud Province inside!"

"Trying to save them? You're dreaming! Let's see how you manage to do it!"

The Black-robed Figure sneered, pulled out the three long arrows embedded in his body, and threw them on the ground.

Immediately, black energy appeared within his body, and the wounds on his body began to slowly wriggle and heal.

The power of that magic array even had healing effects.

However, although his injuries were slowly healing, the Black-robed Figure dared not step out of the gray light barrier again.

Although Lu Qing and the Old Doctor's attack was a sneak attack, it was incredibly powerful.

Especially that white sword energy, which was extremely sharp, almost cut him in two. If it weren't for the protective power of the magic array, he would have almost died on the spot.

Let him know that the old man he can't see through has a cultivation level far above his own.

Even with the power of the formation, he probably wouldn't be a match for it if he went out.

"When did such a terrifyingly powerful expert arrive in Cloud Province?"

The Black-robed Figure was racing with thoughts, sensing that things were getting out of control.

"Master, do it!"

Lu Qing stopped wasting words and directly shouted.

The Old Doctor nodded silently, his long sword trembling. In the next moment, dozens of sword energies shot forward like a school of fish.

"How is that possible!"

Seeing the torrential rain of Innate Sword Qi sweeping towards him, the Black-robed Figure was terrified. Suddenly, a small flag appeared in his hand, and he poured his Divine Soul Power into it.

As the Array Flag were activated, a large amount of black energy was rapidly gathered around the light screen in front of the Black-robed Figure, instantly turning the originally gray light screen black and shiny.

A series of muffled sounds followed.

The Old Doctor's sword energy, without any fancy moves, bombarded the light screen.

The light screen trembled violently, ripples rose, and black energy scattered.

Unfortunately, even after the last wisp of sword energy disappeared, the black energy on the light screen, though mostly dispersed, held on and was not broken.

"Finally, we blocked it."

The Black-robed Figure let out a soft breath, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

But I felt no relief whatsoever.

In just that one moment, one-fifth of his Divine Soul Power was consumed. If the old man could still unleash his berserk sword energy, his Divine Soul Power would probably be exhausted before the formation was even broken.

Left with no other choice, he could only secretly send a telepathic message: "Senior Brother, have you sorted things out yet? A tricky problem has come up, and I can't hold on much longer!"

"Almost there, just hold on for another quarter of an hour!" A voice rang in his mind.

"Another quarter of an hour?"

The Black-robed Figure a pang of bitterness in his heart.

But he also knew that things had come to this point and they had no way out.

If this plan fails, the Senior Brother will likely have no choice but to become fugitives.

"Fine, let's give it a shot. This old man is so old, he might not be able to unleash his attacks many more times!" the Black-robed Figure thought through gritted teeth.

"The black energy of this light barrier can actually dissipate my sword energy."

The Old Doctor was slightly surprised.

He could sense that although his sword energy had dispersed the black energy, it had also consumed most of its power, which was why the light barrier was able to withstand it.

The art of formations is indeed wondrous.

"Master, continue. He is using the Array Flag to mobilize the power of the array and concentrate it in one place to resist your attack. In this way, the defensive power of the light screens in other directions will be greatly reduced."

Lu Qing closed his eyes, his powerful spiritual senses enveloping the entire Flowing Cloud Town, carefully sensing the operation of the entire formation.

"This kid knows about formations too?"

The Black-robed Figure was startled, but he had no time to be surprised, because the Old Doctor unleashed that torrential storm of sword energy once again.

"Senior, let me lend you a hand!"

The swordsman standing to the side was also shocked by the Old Doctor's terrifying sword energy, but he knew that the most important thing right now was to break the formation.

He immediately swung his longsword, unleashing several sword energies at the light barrier.

The Black-robed Figure waved the Array Flag, and the black energy was gathered together once again.

Boom! A violent collision sounded, and the light screen shook again.

"It's right there!"

Just then, Lu Qing suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes, drew a sharp arrow from the quiver on his back, nocked it on his bow, drew the bowstring taut like a full moon, and shot it at a half-angled angle into the sky.

From the moment Lu Qing revealed the secret of his manipulation of the array's power, the Black-robed Figure had been keeping a close eye on him.

When he drew his bow and nocked an arrow, he became even more vigilant.

She thought he was about to launch another sneak attack.

Unexpectedly, Lu Qing shot the long arrow into the sky, which relieved him, but he couldn't help but laugh:

"Kid, your archery accuracy is terrible. You should go back and practice more..."

However, before the Black-robed Figure could finish his taunts, a loud boom echoed from the Flowing Cloud Town behind him.

His body jolted violently, and he immediately felt that the speed at which he mobilized the power of the formation had slowed down slightly.

The Black-robed Figure focused his mind on the Array Flag and immediately understood the reason.

He looked at Lu Qing in disbelief. "You can actually sense the array nodes of the Blood Flesh Soul Refining Array?"

Lu Qing waved the longbow in his hand and grinned. "While you were mobilizing the power of the formation to resist the attacks of my master and that senior, the other formation light barriers couldn't stop my arrows."

It turns out that Lu Qing's act of shooting the arrow into the sky was intentional.

Using a projectile method, one of the array nodes in Flowing Cloud Town was destroyed.

"Master, senior, keep attacking! Once I destroy eight more nodes, this formation will be broken!"

Lu Qing drew another long arrow from the quiver.

Upon hearing this, the Old Doctor and the man with the sword immediately activated their sword energy again.

The man wielding the sword, in particular, was even more determined when he saw that Lu Qing had a way to break the formation. He put in all his effort and unleashed more than ten sword energies in a row.

"Hateful!"

The Black-robed Figure was furious upon seeing this.

However, he was completely helpless against the attacks of the two Old Doctor and could only continue to mobilize the power of the formation to defend himself.

As the black energy gathered, Lu Qing fired another arrow, and unsurprisingly, with a loud bang, another array node was destroyed.

"How can this kid's archery skills be so amazing!"

The Black-robed Figure was shocked and furious, realizing that Lu Qing's actions earlier were not a coincidence, but rather that he truly possessed the ability to break the formation.

At the same time, they were also amazed by Lu Qing's archery skills.

It should be noted that Flowing Cloud Town is not small. The second array node that was destroyed was a full mile away from here.

Despite the power of the array and the obstruction of numerous buildings, it was still able to accurately destroy the array node a mile away.

Such archery skills were unheard of, even to the Black-robed Figure.

"This is troublesome!"

He realized that he was really in trouble!
