Chapter 2357: Chapter 2361: Are You an Array Master?

Buzzing!

Under everyone’s gaze, Jian Wuheng’s body began to tremble slightly, his complexion gradually turned pale, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a stream of grayish-black air flew out from Jian Wuheng’s body, merging into the surrounding air.

Opening his eyes, Jian Wuheng looked at Jiang Chen and revealed a helpless smile, ”No, I can’t do it!”

”Forget it, it’s not something you can force!”

Jiang Chen gently patted Jian Wuheng’s shoulder, smiling lightly to comfort him.

Jian Wuheng nodded, the look in his eyes towards Jiang Chen carrying a trace of admiration.

During his earlier attempt, he couldn’t even keep the Death Qi from corroding his Spiritual Power, let alone use it to refine it, which made him admire Jiang Chen even more.

Lin Shanshan and the others, seeing that Jian Wuheng couldn’t succeed, didn’t attempt it either. For them, it seemed impossible anyway. As for Jiang Chen saying it was possible, it probably required improvement in cultivation!

The group paused briefly, then set off on their journey again.

Buzzing!

Suddenly, the Spiritual Energy in the surroundings started converging towards the group.

”Be careful!”

Feng Qingyang warned, and everyone stopped in their tracks.

”No need to stop, just keep going.”

With a light laugh, Jiang Chen glanced at everyone, apologetically saying, ”It’s me refining Spiritual Power, sorry for startling everyone!”

Everyone was stunned to hear this and realized that indeed, the thin Spiritual Energy in the air was flowing into Jiang Chen, with strands of visible Death Qi among them!

”Jiang Chen, you can’t randomly absorb this Death Qi, if it corrodes you, it will cut short your lifespan!”

Liu Chang couldn’t help but remind him. Although their role was to intervene only if Jiang Chen and the others were in life-threatening danger, Jiang Chen’s actions forced him to speak up, as anything happening to Jiang Chen would be partially their responsibility!

”Senior Liu, don’t worry, I know what I’m doing!”

Jiang Chen laughed and nodded, his figure moving forward again.

Hearing this, they no longer tried to dissuade him and followed him.

On the way, Jiang Chen continued to absorb the Spiritual Energy around him, utilizing Death Qi to refine his own Spiritual Power, and with his actions, the others didn’t have to worry about the Death Qi invading them, thus speeding up their pace considerably.

After a quarter of an hour, the group stopped in a lowland area.

”Jiang Chen, stop trying, utilizing Death Qi to refine Spiritual Power is not impossible, but you need to at least reach the Virtual Refinement Realm Peak!”

Liu Chang watched as Jiang Chen absorbed Spirit Stones to recover his Spiritual Power and spoke softly.

Throughout the journey, Jiang Chen’s actions seemed to Liu Chang like an attempt to refine Spiritual Power.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, nodded gently, without offering further explanations.

By now, the destination was within reach, and Jiang Chen would no longer expend his Spiritual Power for refining.

Five hundred meters away was a towering stockade, with two black tigers carved on the enormous gate – the target of Jiang Chen and the others’ mission, the Black Tiger Stockade!

The group stayed here to absorb the Spiritual Energy from the Spirit Stones and adjust their state, striving to confront the upcoming sweep in their best condition!

”The Black Tiger Stockade is just ahead, what should we do?”

Once everyone recovered their Spiritual Power, Lin Shanshan softly asked, her expression inviting Jiang Chen’s guidance.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, giving everyone a glance, then adopted a serious expression, speaking softly, ”According to the mission’s data, the Black Tiger Stockade Master Li Kuiyong is a Divine Infant Realm Peak cultivator, his four deputy commanders are all at the Late Divine Infant Realm, and there are others at the Mid Divine Infant Realm and Divine Infant Realm Early Stage. If we rush in mindlessly, it’s definitely not going to work!”

”Five cultivators at the Late Divine Infant Realm and above aren’t something you can handle right now. Jiang Chen, what were you thinking when you accepted this mission?”

Liu Chang suddenly interjected, his eyes filled with deeper meaning.

Jiang Chen glanced at Liu Chang, a thought striking him, ”I guessed it right, you seniors aren’t only here to ensure our safety, but also for those five leaders, am I correct?”

”Oh? Why do you say that?”

Curiosity glinted in the eyes of Liu Chang and the others.

Feng Qingyang and the others exchanged a knowing smile, also having concluded the same.

Seeing their expressions, Liu Chang and the others were taken aback, then Liu Chang chuckled, ”You all figured it out?”

”Hehe, Senior Liu, sending five mid Divine Infant Realm students to fight a Divine Infant Realm Peak, and ones seasoned by years of licking blood from their blades, no way!”

Lin Shanshan giggled, ”In other team tasks, although they also have five seniors accompanying them, I’ve noticed they look at you with envy!”

”So those guys sold us out!”

Liu Chang shook his head helplessly, speaking softly, ”Indeed, we’re here for those five leaders, accepting this bandit clean-up mission ourselves, but our only targets are those leaders, we won’t make a move against anyone else!”

”That’s plenty!”

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, nodding lightly.

”Enough? There are over a hundred bandits there, how can you four possibly beat them?”

Wu Zhong looked at Jiang Chen in astonishment.

”Senior Wu, don’t you know? Remember the hundred Forest Wolf Demon Cores Jiang Chen had? Though I don’t know how he did it, I refuse to believe he defeated them one by one!”

Lin Shanshan smiled slightly, turning to Jiang Chen, showing a crafty smile like a little fox, ”Jiang Chen, shouldn’t you explain?”

”I’m an Array Master!”

Jiang Chen stated softly.

”An Array Master?!”

”You are also an Array Master?!”

”To have an array managing to deal with a hundred Forest Wolves, it would have to be comparable to a Virtual Refinement Realm cultivator, you’re a Virtual Refinement Array Master?!”

Liu Chang and the others’ pupils shrank, exclaiming in shock.

Feng Qingyang and Lin Shanshan revealed looks as if everything fell into place, secretly letting out a sigh of relief.

When choosing to team up with Jiang Chen, they had this suspicion. If Jiang Chen weren’t an Array Master, this mission might have failed, as the four of them couldn’t possibly eliminate over a hundred Black Tiger Stockade bandits on their own.

”No wonder you dared take on this mission!”

Understanding flashed in the eyes of Liu Chang and the others.

”Then without further delay, I’ll set up the formation. Senior Liu Chang, please distract those bandits!”

Jiang Chen smiled lightly, speaking softly.

”Alright!”

Liu Chang and the others nodded, and everyone leaped toward the distant Black Tiger Stockade.
