Chapter 473: Chapter 468: Array Unleashes Its Power (Combined Chapter 4k)_2 "Even if he uses defense magic, he can hardly protect himself!" On the field, Pei Shuheng looked confidently at the opponent. He knew the defense magic from the Corpse-Driving Sect typically involved the Yin Light Shield. However, the Yin Light Shield’s advantages and disadvantages are quite obvious—it has a wide range but weaker individual defense. Against his own magic, it would surely end up full of holes. Then, he would definitely burn him to the ground, making a big fool out of him! Under everyone’s watchful eyes. Lou Yi gently waved his hand, summoning seven or eight grey, semi-transparent arrows as thick as an arm, each inscribed with complex runes. With a thought. The arrows shot in different directions, precisely intercepting the fire sparrows coming his way. All that was heard was a continual series of explosions, ’bang, bang, bang’. The fire sparrows, supposed to subdue Yin Qi, were swallowed by the Yin Qi Arrows one by one. Surprisingly, the Yin Qi Arrows weren’t exhausted much; only their tips were dulled slightly. Then, each arrow reflected toward Pei Shuheng, forcing him into a frantic and embarrassing situation. "This...to condense Dao patterns...magic mastery or even perfection?" "His control is simply divine, intercepting the opponent’s magic one by one!" "Being noticed by the three beauties simultaneously, it’s obvious he’s not an ordinary person..." In the arena, as Pei Shuheng finally managed to block the Yin Qi Arrows with a defense magic shield. He exhaled a sigh of relief, prepared to retaliate with stronger magic. But upon glancing across, his eyes widened sharply. In front of him, there suddenly appeared hundreds of Yin Qi Arrows. Each positioned differently, but all aimed right at him, sending a chill down his spine. How could he defend against this? How could he possibly protect himself! Just as the Yin Qi Arrows were about to strike, Pei Shuheng shouted: "I concede!" Then, the Yin Qi Arrows dissolved into nothingness, with some reverting as spiritual power back into Lou Yi’s body. Such exquisite control made everyone present gasp in amazement. Bi Yaoyao’s eyes sparkled brightly, and Shi Caifeng grinned widely, thinking ’Brother Shu’ was just as omnipotent as ever. ’No way a Qi Cultivation Middle Stage opponent could be his match!’ All the cultivators came to the same realization in their hearts. "I am Zhang Fusheng of the Red Sun Sect, Fellow Daoist Lou please honor me with a lesson!" A Qi Cultivation Eight Level cultivator from the Red Sun Sect entered the field, but dared not treat Lou Yi lightly, speaking more politely. Yet he was still quite confident, given the significant advantage in cultivation level—eight versus five. However, as soon as he entered the arena, before he could cast any magic. A richly glowing array map unfolded in front of him, effortlessly enclosing him within. "Not good!" Zhang Fusheng hurriedly shifted his position, trying to escape. Only to find that the array map, often deemed uncontrollable by others. In the young opponent’s hand, was smoother than any magical artifact, shadowing his every move, preventing escape. Moments later, several dark figures projected into the array, landing precisely at the array base. They were expressionless assistant corpses, all staring at him, surrounding him completely. ’Boom!’ As the runes beneath the assistant corpses activated simultaneously, Zhang Fusheng’s vision was engulfed in a mass of grey. Everything went dark, losing all awareness. Once Lou Yi retrieved the array map. Zhang Fusheng lay unconscious on the ground like a dead pig, appearing pitiful in everyone’s eyes. "Manifesting an array on the spot, such formidable array dao cultivation!" someone exclaimed. This battle by Lou Yi seemed effortless. Yet whether it was arranging an array map instantly, controlling numerous assistant corpses. Or dynamically adapting the runes based on varying environments and opponents, each step posed high complexity. Requiring extraordinary spiritual sense, meticulous control, and profound understanding of array dao. This was the challenge of instant array manifestation. Pre-arranging an array, many cultivators familiar with array dao could manage. But live-manifesting an array in combat had immensely high thresholds, even among array masters, few could achieve it. As the saying goes, laymen watch the spectacle, experts see the intricacies. Lou Yi’s single maneuver showcased his formidable array dao cultivation. Moreover, array masters are known in the cultivation realm for turning the tables against stronger foes. Now, no one dared view Lou Yi merely as a Qi Cultivation Middle Stage fighter. "I am Huang Xiaodong of the Red Sun Sect, please guide me!" A Peak of Qi Refining cultivator from the Red Sun Sect stepped down, drawing even greater attention. His cultivation stood at the ninth level pinnacle of Qi Cultivation, just one step away from Foundation Establishment. Unfortunately. Facing Lou Yi’s unreasonable Hundred Corpses Diagram, despite deploying a powerful top-grade defensive magical artifact and using wind magic to keep moving. He only lasted slightly longer than Zhang Fusheng, just two or three breaths, before being captured by the Hundred Corpses Diagram. Being a Peak of Qi Refining cultivator, Lou Yi added extra assistant corpses to the array map. With a minor activation, once spaced, Huang Xiaodong lay on the ground like a ’dead dog’. "Is this the extent of the Red Sun Sect’s genius?" Lou Yi chuckled, shaking his head. Hatred brimmed instantly, enraging all Red Sun Sect cultivators. They always looked down upon the Corpse-Driving Sect members, yet now faced disdain themselves? "Damned brat, what are you boasting for, let me take you down!" "I’ll beat you until your own mother doesn’t recognize you!" Soon, those disdainful Red Sun Sect cultivators sprang forth in challenge. But confronted by the unreasonable array map, they quickly fell silent, following their predecessors’ footsteps. Lou Yi, with a Qi Cultivation Fifth Level, wielding the Hundred Corpses Diagram, overwhelmed all Red Sun Sect geniuses, leaving none to last over five breaths! "This, I haven’t even used full strength, why are you all down?" Lou Yi stated calmly, making several people gnash their teeth in frustration. Since offending these individuals already, why not be more arrogant, utterly defeating them? The commotion from the competition on Guest Welcoming Peak quickly spread within the Corpse-Driving Sect. Many cultivating on other peaks rushed over for the spectacle. "Did you hear? A junior brother of our sect is involved with Junior Sister You, Junior Sister Bi, and a female prodigy from the True Blood Sect, now being challenged!" "What, this brat dared such audacious deeds, I must teach... see what’s going on!" "Did you hear? A junior brother from our sect named Lou Yi is engaged to the True Blood Sect’s female prodigy, but also entices our Junior Sisters You and Bi..." "Damn, such shamelessness, I must challenge him too!" "Did you hear? That scoundrel Lou Yi not only seduced the True Blood Sect’s female prodigy but also impregnated our two junior sisters..." "Outrageous, utterly outrageous, I’ll skin him alive!!!" In a moment, Guest Welcoming Peak became densely packed as everyone gathered to witness the duel. Of course, the disciples of the Corpse-Driving Sect only spoke of teaching Lou Yi, naturally not challenging a fellow sect member to undermine him. Nevertheless, Lou Yi struggled to win support among his own, proving too controversial. Even in victory, the place turned into a chorus of boos. "That guy only bullies others with arrays!" "So despicable, truly despicable!" Listening to this, Lou Yi frowned, his forehead lined with annoyance. How could an advanced skill like array manifestation become associated with despicability? "Fellow Daoist Lou’s array cultivation is astonishing and admirable, yet this array map is clearly not ordinary stuff. My daughter possesses a spiritual artifact flying shuttle, but using it would be unfair. How about we both refrain from using any external objects for a fair contest?" Qingluan Palace’s female prodigy Wei Rou stepped up. She was a renowned Spirit Communication Body, long groomed to be the sect’s successor. The woman was very clever, immediately asking Lou Yi not to use his array map, effectively tying his hands. The reasoning was so well-rounded it left no room for objection. Yet Lou Yi knew, though spiritual artifacts were powerful, harnessing them would yet yield minimal advantage. The array map was different; it was crucial for leveraging strength over weakness. If both were not used, he’d actually suffer a loss. But the words ringing in his ears, ’coward’, ’he’s scared’, ’he surely doesn’t dare’, kept coming. Lou Yi raised an eyebrow, decisively withdrawing the Hundred Corpses Diagram, and gestured: "Fairy Wei, please go ahead." ...
