Taking Over
Fang Yu strolled through the Autumn Moon Mountain Market, accompanied by Zhuang Xian face was solemn.
Suddenly, Fang Yu's heart stirred, and he looked in the direction of Chen Cheng's cave abode. The Cloud Net Concealment Array had been activated, and the rolling clouds and mist quickly closed the formation.
"Chen Cheng has already made his move; now it's up to us!"
Fang Yu uttered a word, his figure soaring into the sky, his aura of the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection erupting, the liquid Law Power within his body flowing continuously, and fire dragons appearing and swimming around him, growing thicker and thicker, the scorching flames illuminating the entire Autumn Moon Mountain Market as bright as day.
In an instant, the nine layers of Law Power within Fang Yu's body transformed into nine fiery dragons. With the fluctuation of Fang Yu's Divine Sense, five of them rushed towards the five key points of the "Lesser Thousand-Needle Nether River Formation".
"Boom..."
A series of deafening roars echoed as the five array bases were reduced to ashes in an instant.
A slight smile appeared on Fang Yu's lips.
These five array points should normally be suppressed by cultivators, with at least one Foundation Establishment presiding over them. However, all the Foundation Establishment have gone to celebrate Chen Cheng's birthday, leaving only Qi Refining Realm cultivators behind.
How could a Qi Refining Realm cultivator withstand his thunderous strike? With just one blow, nearly half of the entire formation was destroyed. All he needed to do was take over the central array eye, and the entire Autumn Moon Mountain Market would be under his control.
As Fang Yu headed towards the central array eye, Zhuang Xian also began his work, and warnings echoed throughout the entire market:
"Foundation Establishment stage must abstain from this battle. A curfew is to be imposed immediately on Autumn Moon Mountain Market. All cultivators are to return home immediately and are forbidden from leaving without orders. Those who disobey will be executed without mercy!"
As the sound echoed, the Zhuang Household of the Zhuang family who had entered the market ahead of time quickly gathered and then indiscriminately killed all the cultivators in the streets and alleys.
Screams, cries, and sounds of fighting erupted from all directions.
The miners and cultivators were all terrified and desperately rushed into the building, because they discovered that the unfamiliar cultivators only chased those who were in the streets and alleys. Once the other party escaped into the building or cave abode, they stopped chasing them.
After Zhuang Xian personally took action and killed several Qi Refining Late Stage cultivators, Autumn Moon Mountain Market quickly entered a curfew.
Cultivators, unaware of what had happened, hid inside the building, secretly observing the groups of cultivators outside who were indiscriminately killing anyone they saw. Listening to the occasional screams, they were all terrified and made wild guesses. Some even closed their doors and windows tightly and set up protective barriers, fearing that those people would rush in.
Fang Yu arrived at the cave abode dwelling of the Fairy Crimson Refinement. The fiery dragons relentlessly attacked, forcibly destroying the cave abode's restrictions one by one.
This place is not only the cave abode of Fairy Crimson Refinement, but also the core hub of the entire grand formation. If Fairy Crimson Refinement were inside the cave abode at this time, Fang Yu would have to put in a lot of effort. However, since she is now trapped by Chen Cheng, it is much easier for him to break through this restriction, which is at most at the second level.
After the last fiery dragon exploded, the restrictions on the cave abode were completely broken, and Fang Yu escaped into it, arriving at the central point of the formation.
He flipped his hand, and a pre-prepared central array appeared.
His Divine Sense fluctuated violently as he sensed the entire formation through the central core of the formation. He then severed the spiritual energy nodes at various points, completely paralyzing the entire formation.
"Now all we need to do is replace the core array base and restart the main array!"
Fang Yu murmured something and quickly got to work.
Chen Cheng held the array plate in his hand, and mid-grade Spirit Stone appeared around him. He continuously drew spiritual energy from them to maintain the operation of the array.
But as the Fairy Crimson Refinement and the others grew stronger and stronger, their indiscriminate and violent attacks breaking through the formation, his expression grew increasingly grave.
But after sensing Lü Bu's terrifying fire elemental power, he felt a little relieved. After all, Lü Bu had already made his move, and he had not been abandoned.
Suddenly, a buzzing sound appeared, and the array plate in his hand, which was spinning rapidly, cracked open with several gaps. The operation of the entire array immediately slowed down, and the clouds and mist in the sky began to dissipate. This second-order array was about to be forcibly broken by the person inside.
"They're coming out!"
Chen Cheng's voice rang out, and he could no longer maintain the formation. He transformed into a streak of light and headed towards Fang Yu's location.
Almost immediately, a dark cloud flew out from the mist, and amidst the swarm of mosquitoes, the Fairy Crimson Refinement's incredibly shocked and furious eyes appeared. She had already sensed through the array plate that the great array had been broken, and at the same time, the connection between the array plate and the core of the great array had been severed. This meant that even if she returned to the core of the great array, she would not be able to restart it.
Most importantly, only a quarter of an hour has passed since he was trapped until now. The fact that the formation could be broken in such a short time means that even with the presence of the despicable traitor Chen Cheng, there must be at least one formation Master among the attackers. Otherwise, how could the formation have been broken in such a short time?
Now that the great formation has been broken, and there is a terrifying aura of Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator in her cave abode, and unfamiliar Foundation Establishment cultivators and a large number of Qi Refining cultivators have taken over the market, it means that the newcomer was well prepared. She is only a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator. Without the great formation as her support, how can she deal with a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection expert?
The next moment, Fairy Crimson Refinement merged into the black clouds, frantically fleeing towards the edge of the market. 'This high-grade spirit ore in Autumn Moon Mountain belongs to my master, but my life is mine. Now that the tide has turned, I can only run for now. I'll make further plans once I find my senior brother.'
The black cloud moved with incredible speed, reaching the edge of the market in just a few breaths. Just as it was about to depart, a voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
"Where is the fairy going!"
In an instant, countless mosquitoes emerged from the ground, forming a terrifying black tide in front of her, blocking her escape route. At the same time, streaks of blood-red light shot into the sky, transforming into an invisible light shield that quickly closed.
"Oh no!" Fairy Crimson Refinement exclaimed in shock, her heart trembling. 'How is this possible? How could the other party have taken direct control of the great formation? Could it be that the Array Master Zong has betrayed our master?!'
The next moment, the black tide engulfed her, and countless mosquito corpses fell from the sky like a torrential rain. In just a short while, the black tide dissipated, leaving only a Storage Bag in place.
In the distance, the other five Foundation Establishment who had just emerged from the Cloud Net Concealment Array were filled with terror and despair as they looked at the Fairy Crimson Refinement body had been reduced to ashes.
Even the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Fairy Crimson Refinement, couldn't escape. How could these Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivators possibly escape? The mid-grade Spirit Stone mine in Autumn Moon Mountain is about to change hands again. It's just unknown which force it will be— the Yellow Sand Sect or the Heavenly Strategy Manor —and whether they will have any chance of survival.
Just then, Chen Cheng's voice rang out. "Fellow Daoists, there is no need to panic. Fairy Crimson Refinement is dead. As long as you are willing to surrender, your lives are not in danger, and you will also have an immense fortuitous opportunity."
As soon as the words were spoken, three red lines shot from the horizon, accurately stopping beside the three Foundation Establishment cultivators, revealing three high-grade Spirit Artifact.
"These three superior Spirit Artifact were a gift from our old friend Lü Bu. Hurry and accept them!"
The three Foundation Establishment cultivators who were on good terms with Chen Cheng were all shocked upon hearing this. Of course, they all knew Lü Bu, and they had all sought him out to forge Spirit Artifact in the past.
