Chapter 468 - 389 Array Eye
Seeing Su Yuan doing some reconnaissance, Yang Song and others followed.
“Special Envoy Su, how is it?”
“No problem.” Su Yuan nodded. This barrier was just a fourth-level barrier. After understanding it, breaking it was not difficult.
“Oh?”
Yang Song and the others were somewhat skeptical.
They originally thought that Su Yuan, being so young, might not have the profound knowledge of barriers comparable to those Barrier Masters of the Miracle Workshop.
But unexpectedly, within such a short time, Su Yuan was confident he could break this barrier?
It was just uncertain if Su Yuan truly saw through it or was merely boasting.
Su Yuan didn’t waste words, directly telling them the solution.
“Starting from where I stand, at directions 315, 342, 15, and 30.
In these four directions, there are areas where the Power of Filth is highly concentrated, forming array eyes.
As long as we break these array eyes, we can directly breach this barrier.”
“Oh?” Hearing Su Yuan speak with such certainty, Yang Song and the others began to believe a bit.
They still vividly remembered the scenario earlier when Wang Xudong used the Blast Fireball to attack.
After thinking briefly, Yang Song asked, “So we still have to enter the array to break it, right?”
Su Yuan looked at Yang Song and the others, not answering directly but instead saying, “For non-Grandmaster Barrier Masters, I’m afraid there are no other methods to break it.”
This barrier was simple and crude. Four energy array eyes radiated throughout the barrier without much variation; thus, breaking it wasn’t difficult.
Even an ordinary third-level Barrier Master could provide this method if they could see through the energy fluctuations.
To really want other methods to break it, only a grandmaster-level could do it.
As for whether it was necessary to go inside the barrier to break it, it depended on the strength of the envoys.
If the attack power was strong enough, it could break the array eyes from the outside.
For example, Lin Chongyun’s Flying Thunder God’s Arrow combined with Green Divine Radiant Thunder Bamboo Arrow, such precise and powerful attacks might directly break the array eyes from the outside.
Wang Xudong frowned and said, “If it fails as you say, it will be difficult for us to figure out another solution.”
Yang Song said sternly, “Xudong, keep quiet!”
This concern was actually shared by both Yang Song and Tian Bulue.
After all, Su Yuan was an unfamiliar Barrier Master and so young. It was natural for them to have doubts.
But after having doubts, should they show trust or hesitate because of suspicion? What to say and do depended on oneself.
What Wang Xudong said showed his distrust in Su Yuan.
Su Yuan lightly said, “If you don’t trust me, leave this barrier and the people behind it to me. But all the credit will be mine. How about that?”
Yang Song forced a smile and said quickly, “Special Envoy Su, don’t be angry. Xudong is just impatient. Since you have a method to break the array, we should try it. At worst, we will just be injured.”
Yang Song and the others thought Su Yuan was speaking in anger. After all, it seemed unlikely that a newly appointed third-level Special Envoy could not only break the array but also defeat the enemies inside.
Tian Bulue followed up, “I also support attempting to break the array.”
Yu Qing added, “If it’s four array eyes, I would like to help if you don’t mind.”
Wang Xudong, seeing everyone speak this way, glanced at Su Yuan and finally snorted, “Then let’s try it. Hopefully, we can really break this array!”
Su Yuan wasn’t annoyed and further explained the exact positions of the four array eyes to them.
Finally, Su Yuan solemnly reminded them, “Another thing to note is that if the enemy senses we can break the array, they might interfere or even self-destruct the array eyes.
The energy in those array eyes is very high. If that happens, you must retreat quickly and avoid a prolonged fight.”
“Self-destruct the array eyes? Got it.”
Yang Song nodded and discussed with the others. Then, they activated their Star Power and charged into the Filth Formation.
Yang Song and the others were mere spectators earlier. Now, inside, they personally felt the power of this filth!
Just stepping into the array, the Spirit Light on their bodies visibly diminished under the filth’s black energy.
And because Star Power was weakened by the filth, resisting the mist’s attack became even harder.
“This filthy and misty air is too strong. Everyone, act quickly!” Yang Song said in a deep voice.
Wang Xudong and the others nodded, moving towards their targets together…
On the other side, noticing people entering the array, Pei Yuanming and Yao Bing’s expressions changed slightly.
A short-haired woman among them said coldly, “The Great Flame City Guard again? And this time they dare enter the array? Didn’t they learn their lesson?”
“No…” Pei Yuanming’s expression tightened. Using Qi Observation Technique, he said, “This time it’s a new group. It’s probably people from the Sky Patrol Department!”
“Sky Patrol Department?!”
Everyone’s face changed upon hearing this.
As Evil Card Masters of the Blood Soul Sect, they weren’t exactly weak. Though not too afraid of the regular City Guard, they were quite wary of the Sky Patrol.
“Damn it, we dragged it out and the Sky Patrol is here!” Yao Bing said angrily, looking at Pei Yuanming, “Pei Yuanming, I told you we were out of time. Why didn’t you hurry up Yu Runde?”
He looked towards Yu Runde, saying coldly, “Yu Runde, after so long, are you trying to get us killed?”
Yu Runde, adjusting the barrier with his back to them, showed a slight reaction, then explained, “There was just a breakthrough. It should be fully completed in half a day.”
Yu Runde activated two Spirit Lights into the barrier under him. Instantly, the mist in the valley began to disperse quickly. At this speed, it might be done in just a few hours!
“Oh?” Yao Bing’s face brightened, delighted, “Good, there’s still hope!”
Others were equally pleased.
Yu Runde continued, “Moreover, with the Ghostly Yin Filth Array in front, it should be easy to buy half a day… what?”
Yu Runde paused, showing surprise.
Yao Bing’s heart sank, “What’s wrong?”
“They… directly found the array eyes of my Ghostly Yin Filth Array?” Yu Runde looked towards the valley’s edge, frowning, “It seems quite a powerful Barrier Master has come…”
Yao Bing frowned, “What now?”
Pei Yuanming stepped forward quickly, “We’ll go block them.”
Yu Runde thought for a moment, then made several hand signs, sending them to everyone.
“Indeed, we need you to intercept them. These are Evil Extinguishing Seals. They can repel the filth’s corrosive power in the Ghostly Yin Filth Array.
You only need to resist the mist as usual; it’ll be much easier for you.
If the enemies are too strong, I’ll blow up the array eyes to release all the filth. Taking them by surprise should at least seriously injure one or two!”
“Good!”
Pei Yuanming and others brightened, grabbing a seal each. The seals grew roots, sinking tiny tendrils into their skin.
A chilling feeling spread from the seals—filth’s power.
Though uncomfortable, they noticed no other ill effects after checking.
Yu Runde urged, “Time is tight. Opponents are nearing the array eyes. Move quickly!”
Yao Bing coldly said, “Yu Runde, work faster, or we all die today!”
Pei Yuanming said, “We’ll block them and buy you time. Speed up, notify us once done!”
Yu Runde stood and bowed, “Rest assured, I’ll do my best!”
Pei Yuanming glanced at Yu Runde, then led Yao Bing and others into the distant Ghostly Yin Filth Array.
Yu Runde was left alone.
Glancing at the barrier, Yu Runde made a seal. A Spirit Light entered it.
Soon, a faint, evil-scented Blood Light spread, and the barrier changed.
Yu Runde looked again towards the valley’s dispersing mist.
Only Yu Runde knew these seemingly dispersed toxins were just temporarily compressed.
Like a blocked flood, the pressure building now would lead to a ferocious rebound!
…
Within the Ghostly Yin Filth Array, Yang Song moved quickly in the direction given by Su Yuan.
After some time, he found something different.
“Is that the array eye!”
Yang Song looked a kilometer ahead, where the filth was so dense it had liquified. There was an array eye resembling a ghostly face.
“How shocking…”
Resisting both filth and mist’s double corrosion drained his Star Power rapidly.
Inside this filth tide, his Star Power’s effectiveness would be even less…
This was the power of array barriers!
Without hesitation, Yang Song focused, made a seal with his left hand, and pressed it to his chest.
“Bloodthirsty Rampage, Sea King Shark!”
Luminous Water Light shone, and torrents burst out, clearing other energies within tens of meters!
The combination of filth and mist couldn’t approach, driven back by the torrents.
Clad in Sea King Shark’s Raging Current Armor, Yang Song sped into the filth tide.
“Sizzling” sounds echoed.
Within highly concentrated filth, Raging Current Armor dimmed rapidly.
“Unbelievable, this won’t last long…”
Shocked, Yang Song reached the ghostly face array eye.
The ghostly face, without consciousness, instinctively controlled the filth tide against Yang Song. But his armor held them back.
Yang Song raised his Longsword towards the ghostly face. Torrents spiraled onto the Longsword.
“Cang Liu Cannon!”
Blue light shone as Yang Song charged like a fierce shark at the ghostly face!
Suddenly, a stone fist struck from the side, growing wider with each move, reaching five feet in width in no time, hitting the Longsword’s edge!
Water Light slashed out, clearing mist within a kilometer, shattering the stone fist.
But it deflected Yang Song’s attack, the force slightly rebounding him.
Yang Song turned, seeing a burly man, Pei Yuanming, blocking the ghostly face array eye.
Around Pei Yuanming, a green glow shielded him from the filth.
“Evil Card Master?” Yang Song’s eyes turned cold.
Pei Yuanming nodded, “It’s an honor to meet the Great Flame Sky Patrol.”
Yang Song pointed his sword, sneering, “Killing you won’t be lucky for you!”
