Chapter 636: Chapter 272: Bang
The moment they left, cracks spiderwebbed across the entire building. An instant later, it collapsed with a tremendous crash, burying Huang Lie completely within the rubble.
Fang Shuwen glanced at his own palm. It felt slightly warm, and he was a little surprised.
’Such overbearing Martial Arts.’
He could clearly feel that the True Qi he had just sent into Huang Lie’s body had been incinerated by a surge of Pure Yang True Qi the moment it entered.
It wasn’t completely ineffective, but the result was far worse than he had anticipated.
What Fang Shuwen didn’t know was that this was the Pure Yang True Body, formed from the Pure Yang Celestial Book.
The Pure Yang Flames were impervious to all techniques.
It was as if an eternal, unquenchable furnace burned within Huang Lie’s body. Pure Yang True Qi flowed through his limbs, bones, and all his meridians.
Any True Qi that invaded his body would be utterly incinerated by his Pure Yang True Qi.
It could even be converted into fuel, briefly enhancing his own Pure Yang True Qi.
Although Fang Shuwen was unaware of the specifics, it wasn’t hard for him to guess. He knew that a single palm strike like that was not nearly enough to kill someone of Huang Lie’s caliber.
He immediately pushed off the ground, preparing to give chase and finish the job.
Then he heard it—SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH! SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH!
The air tore with a series of piercing whistles. Fang Shuwen looked up to see a sky full of figures descending upon him.
A closer look revealed that there were thirty-six people in all.
Seeing this, Shui Tianxin suddenly called out:
"Young Hero Fang, I’ll help you!"
Fang Shuwen waved his hand dismissively.
"Protect Luo Shuqing."
Shui Tianxin froze for a moment, but then had no choice but to nod.
"We need to fall back, quickly."
But even before she could speak, Luo Shuqing had already led Zuo Xuan, his sister, Zhou Zhengze, and the others in a swift retreat, covering a great distance.
She was no fool, and her judgment was sharp.
She could naturally tell that these thirty-six newcomers were also masters from Hengyang Island.
They had arrived in formation. If she couldn’t enter the array and stand with Fang Shuwen, it was best to retreat far away to avoid getting in his way.
By the time Shui Tianxin arrived, the others were already standing on a rooftop in Purple Qi Mountain Villa.
She looked toward the center of the fray and saw that Fang Shuwen was completely surrounded.
Shui Tianxin’s expression darkened.
"This is Hengyang Island’s Six Yang Heaven-Incinerating Array!
"It’s formed by six people, but when you combine thirty-six, the arrays stack, and their energies merge into one seamless whole.
"It becomes Hengyang Island’s greatest and most unique formation: the Thirty-Six Prohibitions Sea-Boiling Grand Array!"
This Array is based on the Pure Yang Celestial Book, and all thirty-six men within it cultivate Pure Yang True Qi.
The Six Yang Heaven-Incinerating Array links the True Qi of the six individuals, allowing them to incinerate their opponent with Pure Yang True Qi.
With thirty-six people, it becomes the Thirty-Six Prohibitions Sea-Boiling Grand Array. This grand formation uses the structure of the Six Yang Heaven-Incinerating Array, stacking them on top of each other. The True Qi of all thirty-six men floods the entire area, with the principle of Forbidden All Things at its core.
For anyone inside the array who doesn’t cultivate Pure Yang True Qi, all their other Martial Arts will be suppressed by the Thirty-Six Prohibitions Sea-Boiling Grand Array.
Then, they will be smelted by the combined Pure Yang True Qi of the thirty-six men.
Even the strongest steel would be melted into a liquid.
"To incinerate the heavens and boil the seas" was, of course, an exaggeration, but its power was still enough to inspire awe and terror.
This sudden turn of events was far beyond anyone’s expectations.
After all, no one had expected that Hengyang Island’s absence was just them preparing a decisive strike. Not only had they arrived, but their Island Master had personally taken action. He led thirty-six of his Elders to deploy Hengyang Island’s greatest array, intending to burn the Human World Demon God alive.
For a moment, everyone could only watch from a distance.
This was especially true for those who had just been kneeling and begging for mercy. ’Did we kneel a little too soon?’ they all wondered.
Moments ago, they had been ready to worship Fang Shuwen as a god. That was because none of them were his match, and they had knelt to beg for their lives...
If Fang Shuwen were just an ordinary person, their actions would have been utterly shameful.
’But if Fang Shuwen truly is a god in the human world, then isn’t it only natural to kneel before a deity and beg for forgiveness?’
But the current situation left them with complicated feelings.
On one hand, they hoped Fang Shuwen’s Martial Arts were truly invincible. That would justify their kneeling.
On the other hand, some of them hoped Hengyang Island could utterly destroy Fang Shuwen.
Doing so would remove the towering mountain that weighed upon their hearts.
Fang Shuwen paid no mind to what the others were thinking.
He stood within the array, sensing the might of the Thirty-Six Prohibitions Sea-Boiling Grand Array, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
’The killing power of this Array doesn’t lie in its own profundity,’ he thought. ’Its true secret is simply linking the True Qi of its casters.’
’It’s a bit like the techniques used by that group in red from Undying Island’s Vermilion Bird Hall.’
’Only this is far more refined, and far more powerful.’
The true killing strike of the Array was the relentlessly pressing Pure Yang True Qi.
This True Qi saturated the very air, making it impossible to evade and impossible to block.
Even breathing could draw this True Qi into the body, where it would erupt into raging flames, incinerating the meridians and scorching the Dantian.
It made Fang Shuwen reflect on the fact that Hengyang Island’s Martial Arts were indeed quite formidable.
BOOM!!!
A deafening explosion erupted as a figure suddenly shot out from the ruins.
His robes were in tatters, and his wild red hair flowed freely.
It was none other than the Jiuyang Young Monarch, Huang Lie!
Just as Fang Shuwen had expected, that last palm strike hadn’t been enough to kill him.
Although his clothes were even more tattered than before, his body was completely unscathed.
His face was expressionless as he slowly walked to the edge of the grand array, his gaze fixed coldly on Fang Shuwen within.
The commotion drew Fang Shuwen’s attention, and he raised his eyes to meet Huang Lie’s.
Their eyes met. Neither of them spoke a word.
