A Sect from a Spirit Vein

Chapter 207: Chapter 175: Ashamed of My Own Inferiority

Divine Sense is like a mirror, every detail is visible, observing the array’s operation as clear as day, and initiating the array transformation swiftly and steadily.

Divine Sense is like a lake, with waves surging, making the fluctuations within the array clear at a glance, specifically targeting the enemy and the weaknesses and loopholes of the enemy’s array.

Once the ”Mirror Lake” is formed, the array transformation flashes out.

However, the twelve Xin Metal Divine Locks are fast, but Ling Xuzi’s escape speed is even more astonishing. Just as the divine locks entwined his body, he transformed into a ray of black light, and the divine locks missed their mark!

Xiao Tianci’s fingers holding the sword suddenly tightened. He could not see Ling Xuzi’s movements at all; only a phantom light trace remained before his eyes, and Ling Xuzi had already appeared on the other side in mid-air.

If he becomes my opponent, how should I respond?

Ling Xuzi lingered in mid-air for a moment, and in that blink of an eye, the shadow of a black python behind him completely merged into his body. He was shrouded in a black mist, his appearance indistinguishable, only the place where his face would be, a snake’s tongue flicked several times like lightning, chilling to the bone.

After that moment of pause, Ling Xuzi flashed again and disappeared into the Heavenly Torrent Spiritual Mist that already covered half of the field before the Xin Metal Divine Locks could return.

Xiao Tianci’s Divine Sense instinctively moved, wanting to penetrate the spiritual mist to see clearly. But as soon as his Divine Sense touched the mist, he suddenly felt the world spinning, his senses shifting, every direction turned upside down, the intense dizziness causing him to stagger as if about to fall to the ground.

What, what is this thing?!

Zhuang Qing looked at his pale face and chuckled, ”Sect Leader Lu’s Heavenly Torrent Spiritual Mist can disrupt the Divine Sense of Foundation Establishment Feather Scholars, so it’s not that easy to spy on.”

Xiao Tianci forced himself to withstand the nauseating feeling and lifted his head, his eyes wide.

Was this effect achieved with just a casual move?

Once inside the mist, despite his Divine Sense being completely suppressed, Ling Xuzi remained calm. His long snake tongue swept through the mist, and his once narrowed nostrils deeply inhaled.

Spirit Snake Perception, activated. The temperature, scent, and vibrations of all objects in the area were transmitted to his brain.

But he froze for a moment, why does it smell so fragrant?

In the field, a heavy fragrance suddenly filled the air, overwhelming Ling Xuzi’s mind, blocking his ability to detect any other scent. Despite the discomfort, he barely managed to catch a cold portion within the Heavenly Torrent Spiritual Mist with a shifting heat flow.

”Got you!”

He lunged forward, instantly appearing in front of Lu Qian. Under Lu Qian’s alarmed gaze, eight pitch-black snake heads sprang from the black mist surrounding him, biting down on Lu Qian’s neck, limbs, chest, and forehead, injecting pitch-black venom violently.

In the next moment, Ling Xuzi’s smile froze on his face.

Before him, Lu Qian dissipated like mist, quietly dispersing, and within that mist, a tiny spark flashed and quickly vanished.

The heat flow he had sensed earlier was actually this!

This is the Incarnation Secret Technique, able to evade the detection of Divine Sense. Lu Qian even used fragrance to obscure my most crucial sense of smell, confusing my temperature perception with a spark while I was dizzy and unable to examine carefully.

What a cunning little beast!

In that brief moment of hesitation, the dense mist behind Ling Xuzi suddenly surged, a brilliant golden light flashed, and a hundred strange Duo Chao surged through the mist sea, their sharpened aura making him shiver instantly. Accompanied by piercing hissing, the Duo Chao Geng Metal Divine Sword stabbed straight towards his back!

In the perspective of the audience outside the field, after Ling Xuzi had entered the spiritual mist, Lu Qian’s figure had flashed out. He stretched out his hand, a point of golden light flickered, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of flat-scaled golden bright strange Duo Chao took shape, rushing into the dense mist like a splendid golden river.

But it wasn’t over.

Lu Qian’s right hand made a virtual grip, and the spiritual mist covering half the field suddenly contracted and collapsed, leaving only a small part enveloping Ling Xuzi. With a wave of his left hand, the Earthly Branch Xin Metal Divine Lock made a beautiful arc, and in the blink of an eye, it had surrounded that small portion of the mist, suddenly tightening inward!

This sequence of moves flowed effortlessly, with skill and grace.

They say the uninitiated watch the fun, while the initiated watch the technique. The audience was so enthralled, they marveled at what they were witnessing, while beside Han Wen, a short middle-aged cultivator jumped up, his mouth wide open in astonishment.

”This is impossible!”

Han Wen quickly asked, ”Honored Guest Zhang, what do you mean?”

This Honored Guest Zhang was a Foundation Establishment Early-Stage Array Cultivator recently hired by the Shahe Gang at great expense, possessing refined skill in array techniques and formidable combat ability. Han Wen was usually very courteous to him. With Lu Qian’s public challenge, he quickly brought Honored Guest Zhang along to evaluate Lu Qian’s true strength.

”To use such a proficient utilization of Foundation Establishment level transformations with Qi Cultivation Perfection cultivation is already far beyond most Array Cultivators.” Honored Guest Zhang’s face turned white, looking like he had suffered a significant blow, ”This could be explained by him possessing a Consciousness Collection and having prerecorded the transformations in the Array Map.”

”However, the instant creation of the Array Realm and transformation earlier, and now reducing the originally large covering spiritual mist to surround the enemy to minimize consumption of spiritual qi and Divine Sense, while simultaneously controlling two other Foundation Establishment level transformations to achieve such precise coordination and effect, is... is truly unheard of.”

”Each Foundation Establishment level transformation can match the full force of a Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Even with a sequence, such technique is exceptional, indeed terrifying...”

Han Wen’s face grew solemn, unable to resist asking, ”How does it compare to Honored Guest Zhang?”

Honored Guest Zhang helplessly sat down, muttering in a low voice, ”Oh, truly the younger generations are formidable; I am no match for this young one.”

At this moment, on the Jade Array Map in front of Lu Qian, three Spirit Crystals quietly turned to stone powder.

Based on Lu Qian’s current Qi Cultivation Perfection cultivation with a five-inch Spiritual Root, his spiritual power is sufficient to trigger one Triple Transformation. But with just this one transformation, it would definitely be far from enough to defeat Ling Xuzi. Fortunately, with recent abundant earnings from the marketplace, and the additional ten Spirit Crystals paid by Ji Yunrou last time as a fine, employing financial power comes without hesitation.

And with his current Divine Sense surpassing that of an ordinary Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment, he could sustain triggering three Triple Transformations. Yet, until now, he has only been using the transformations recorded on the Array Map, without truly engaging his own Divine Sense.

A roar echoed from within the spiritual mist, Ling Xuzi’s figure flashed as he accelerated to evade the Duo Chao Geng Metal Divine Sword’s attack. Yet as his body moved, chains shattered the spiritual mist, coming from all directions, unavoidable, binding him tightly.

Lu Qian commanded with his Divine Sense, hundreds of Geng Metal Divine Swords pierced into Ling Xuzi’s body!

With a tearing sound, the sharp Geng Metal Qi surged, and even at such a distance, the audience felt their faces turn cold. Among the spectators, Xiao Tianci’s knuckles turned white with pressure.

Could he withstand that formidable Geng Metal Sword Tide soaring to the sky, unmatched in its sharpness? Could his own sword measure up?

The dazzling golden light faded, mist dissipated, leaving the Xin Metal Divine Locks cut into tatters.

Lu Qian had just relaxed, but the figure bound in the center of the divine locks caused his face to drastically change.

A roaring cry echoed throughout, and the Xin Metal Divine Locks shattered inch by inch!
