Chapter 1253: Chapter 1252 Twelve Zodiac Array Lin Dong followed the Master of Black Sorcerer Palace out of the cave. The reason both of them decided to battle outside the cave was to prevent its collapse! Although the cave was reinforced with Black Sorcerer formation, ordinary Earth Realm martial artists couldn’t destroy it with their attacks. However, if Lin Dong and the Master of Black Sorcerer Palace truly unleashed their full power, even the Black Sorcerer formation would be useless. It simply wouldn’t hold up! The Master of Black Sorcerer Palace didn’t want her sacrificial cave to collapse. As for Lin Dong, he didn’t want the collapse to affect the thousands of ’sacrificial goods’ inside. Moreover, inside the cave, experts like Lin Dong and the Master of Black Sorcerer Palace were restricted and couldn’t exert their strongest battle power. That’s why, without a spoken agreement, they both headed outside to engage in a fierce battle. After a moment, the two figures flew out of the cave. The Master of Black Sorcerer Palace, riding the Fire Thunder Blood Bat, stood above the sea. As for Lin Dong, he directly stepped into the void, floating in mid-air. "Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!!" The Twelve Zodiacs of Black Sorcerer Hall, along with dozens of Sect Masters, also rushed out. This battle was critical for their fate, so naturally, they wanted to watch at all times. They all left the cave and stood at the edge of the cliff, looking up at the Master of Black Sorcerer Palace and Lin Dong above the sea. After Lin Dong and the Master of Black Sorcerer Palace emerged from the cave, there was no conversation. They went straight into battle! "Oh spirits of water, heed my call, with your vastness, demonstrate your proud power, roar Water God!" The words of the Master of Black Sorcerer Palace chanting spells, deploying Black Witchcraft, and commanding the power of water. This was the wonder of witchcraft, which had moved beyond the scope of martial artists. Martial artists fought with Inner Qi, but witchcraft could manipulate the Force of Natural Elements with Spiritual Power as an attack method. Therefore, a powerful wizard could even defeat opponents of a higher realm. A Martial Arts Master who has mastered powerful witchcraft could leap over a major realm, killing a Sect Master! And a First Stage Grandmaster could, with powerful witchcraft, skip one or even two smaller realms and kill a Second Stage or even a Third Stage Grandmaster! Such deeds as leaping realms to kill were often performed by the host of the Black Sorcerer Palace in the past. As a Sect Master, she had killed Half-Step Earth Realm martial artists with Black Witchcraft. As a Half-Step Earth Realm martial artist, she killed Earth Realm martial artists with witchcraft. By the time she reached Earth Realm martial artist, a First Segment Grandmaster, she had killed a Second Stage Grandmaster... At the moment, she manipulated the power of water in the sea, making the water flow form a giant Water Dragon, roaring towards Lin Dong. Lin Dong, at this moment, did not use the methods of martial artists to counter. Instead, he also started using witchcraft! Having acquired the Legacy of the Sovereign Witch, Lin Dong was not inferior to anyone in his use of witchcraft. "Oh forces of water in the ocean and atmosphere, heed my summons, with your power bind my foe, halt his steps, Water Realm Dragon Binding Curse!" Lin Dong also chanted a spell at that moment. No sooner had the enchantment ended than a terrifying Spiritual Power was released, and the Power of Water in the sea and air began to be manipulated by him. The water converged into nine dragon-binding chains. The nine dragon-binding water chains entwined around the giant Water Dragon controlled by the Master of Black Sorcerer Palace, binding it firmly. The Water Dragon roared but couldn’t move an inch. What was once a rampant roaring attack turned into a pitiful, anguished scream after being bound. "Strangle!!!" Lin Dong shouted loudly, controlling the nine dragon-binding water chains, causing them to tighten! Terrible power was exerted on the giant Water Dragon that was bound. "Boom!!!" The giant water dragon exploded with a sound and was strangled to death by nine dragon-binding water shackles. The giant water dragon burst open instantly, turning into a vast rain that fell back into the sea! Seeing this, the twelve zodiacs of the Black Sorcerer Hall and the dozens of sect masters were all dumbfounded. Hei Tu couldn’t believe it and said, "He... he actually knows how to use witchcraft too! And the water-based witchcraft he used is even more powerful than that of the host!" Bai Long’s face also turned pale, "Just now, in the battle with me, he probably didn’t even use one percent of his strength. If I were the one strangled by those nine dragon-binding water shackles, my end would be just like that giant water dragon..." Bai Long was certain that he, a Second Stage Grandmaster, simply couldn’t withstand the strangle of the dragon-binding water shackles. The power was too terrifying. "Isn’t he just too against the heavens? Is this the Master Lin Dong from Dragon Country? No wonder his notorious reputation has spread far and wide on the Martial Arts Dark Web. No wonder the Dragon Country Martial Arts World has called him an unrivalled juggernaut that hasn’t appeared in five thousand years!" Lü Gou muttered to himself, thinking about how he had dared to challenge such a person before. His face couldn’t help but turn deathly pale. It was only because the other party felt that the time was not right that he did not make a move, otherwise, he could be pinched to death with just two fingers! At this moment, the Master of the Black Sorcerer Palace also had a gloomy face. She had finally confirmed something. "Surely you are the one who has inherited the Legacy of the Sovereign Witch from the Divine Martial Hall! Unexpectedly, the thing that your father didn’t manage to do, you have accomplished." "Good, if I capture you, I can get those ancient witchcraft spells from the Sovereign Witch out of you." "If I can obtain all the ancient witchcraft from the Sovereign Witch’s legacy, then it’s just a matter of time before my Black Sorcerer Palace sweeps across the entire world!" Thinking of this, her eyes burst with excitement, and then she shouted loudly: "Master Lin, you can use witchcraft to break my water-based witchcraft!" "But can you break this, the Twelve Zodiac Array that I have created!" As she said this, her mouth murmured incantations, and her hands formed weird hand seals. Immediately after, she said each word deliberately and roared: "Twelve Zodiac Array, arise!!!" As soon as she finished speaking, there came a strange noise from within the Sacrifice Hall. The statues of the twelve zodiac that had been standing inside the hall began to tremble violently. After a moment, they all lifted off the ground and charged out towards the cave as if they had come to life. A Red Giant Rat Statue approached with thundering steps! A Giant Gray Python Statue came roaring with its mouth open wide! A Lü Gou’s giant statue came with a hideous bark! A Giant Black Rabbit Statue came leaping through the air. A Gold Giant Bull Deity Statue came charging headlong! A Giant Silver Horse Statue came galloping through the void! A Giant Purple Sheep Statue, graceful as an antelope, came with leisurely steps! A Giant Blue Chicken Statue came flying with outspread wings! A Giant Orange Pig Statue came shaking its body! Lastly, the giant white dragon statue came roaring through the clouds. At this moment, the statues of the twelve zodiac ’came to life.’ They took up positions corresponding to the Twelve Earthly Branches, surrounding Lin Dong within the formation. "This is the host’s Twelve Zodiac Array; it’s too terrifying. I can feel that each of these twelve statues is emitting a power that is not weaker than mine!" "Oh my god, this is like an array formed by twelve Earth Realm martial artists not inferior to a Second Stage Grandmaster. Can Master Lin withstand this array?" Bai Long exclaimed in shock, deeply stunned by the Twelve Zodiac Array displayed by their host of the Black Sorcerer Palace. At this moment, the spectators from the Black Sorcerer Palace burst into cheers. As if at this moment, their host was already close to victory.
