Seeking the Flying Sword Path

“I’m doomed.” Palatial Lord Myriad Flower’s final sanguine light avatar was trapped by the vines.

Following that, the might of each and every vine erupted.

Bam! Bam! Bam!!!

Restrained avatars instantly exploded into smithereens in succession from the tightening grasp, leaving behind only a single avatar. Furthermore, Dharmic powers were injected into this avatar, rapidly sealing whatever strength it had.

“They are sealing me of my strength even when I only have one avatar left? They are really careful and aren’t giving me any chance of escaping.” Palatial Lord Myriad Flower was surprisingly calm at that moment. Since he had chosen to hunt in the spatial tide and prey on experts from other universes, he was long prepared… to one day die at the hands of an enemy.

“Oh?” Palatial Lord Myriad Flower suddenly turned his head to look in the distance. A silver flying boat was rapidly approaching.

“It’s Bohan Island.” A thought came to Palatial Lord Myriad Flower.

He shouted urgently, “The experts on that flying boat come from Bohan Island. You aren’t their match!”

“Bohan Island?” Qin Yun and company had also noticed the approaching boat; however, they had never heard of Bohan Island.

“As long as you agree to spare me, I can give you information on Bohan Island. I even know the experts on the boat as well as vital information about them,” said Palatial Lord Myriad Flower eagerly. “I can also bring you to hide inside Myriad Flower Palace to avoid the pursuit of Bohan Island. I only have one request—spare me!”

“Spare you?” Goumang shot him a glance.

“Bohan Island? Never heard of it!” said Hou Yi as well, his tone filled with confidence.

They were obviously filled with confidence. They showed no fear towards any assault from powerful enemies; instead, they felt anticipation.

“Qin Yun, be careful,” Hou Yi exhorted. Although he sounded confident, he still warned Qin Yun. Qin Yun was crucial in their defense against enemies!

“Don’t worry.” Qin Yun carefully made preparations as he made the Misty Rain Array envelop their surroundings, spreading the domain outwards.

Kong Xuan’s Five-colored Divine Light domain also enveloped a vast region.

When the silver boat got right next to the Five-colored Divine Light domain, it stopped. Six figures flew over after the flying boat was put away.

“They have been hiding in a corner and know of Kong Xuan’s means,” said Goumang solemnly. “Furthermore, there are six of them. We must not be careless.”

“The more the merrier. The more enemies there are, the more treasures we will get when killing them,” said Kong Xuan with a laugh. “After this round, we probably can make our way back.”

Qin Yun nodded.

He had obtained an expert’s corpse when dealing with the owner of the Nine Netherworld Ship.

Now that Palatial Lord Myriad Flower was captured alive, the sacrifice of a half-step Heavenly Dao realm expert… would receive more merit from the Three Realms. Just him alone was probably sufficient merit for him to attain his Merit Cardinal treasure.

Furthermore, there were now six additional ones in front of him!

“It’s as the saying goes—the clueless knows no fear.” Palatial Lord Myriad Flower secretly shook his head when he saw this scene. “To not even have heard of Bohan Island, they will soon be begging me when they end up suffering.”

“Set up the array!” Mochen bellowed.

Although the five experts behind him remained silent, their bodies emitted a glow as the surface of their skins suffused array formation patterns. The five experts raised the array formation with their bodies making up the array… Immediately, faint white light enveloped half a million kilometers, easily repelling the Five-colored Divine Light domain and Misty Rain domain.

“That Island Lord has unfathomable strength. His attainments in array formations exceed even mine. The moment this array formation domain is released, even half-step Primordial realm experts would have their strength reduced to only thirty to forty percent,” thought Palatial Lord Myriad Flower secretly.

The array formation’s purpose was to create a massive domain to suppress the enemy. By reducing the enemy’s strength drastically, it made escape more difficult.

“Oh?” Although the Misty Rain Array protected their surroundings, the white domain continued seeping in as it enveloped Qin Yun and company.

The quartet felt their bodies turn heavy; it was extremely oppressive.

“It’s a domain.” Qin Yun wore a nasty expression. “It’s more powerful than Brother Kong Xuan’s Five-colored Divine Light domain. It can penetrate anything and suppress every spot. My Misty Rain Array can withstand other means, but it cannot block this domain from infiltrating.”

Domains were best at infiltration.

However, very few domains could infiltrate Qin Yun’s Misty Rain Array.

“The domain can only suppress us.” Hou Yi stared at the five experts who were powering the array. “Using their bodies to set up the array? As long as one of them is killed, the array formation domain will crumble.”

“Boom.” From afar, Mochen charged over.

In the domain’s envelopment, he even had the confidence to enter a bout with a Primordial realm expert.

“You four, submit yourselves.” Mochen’s body phased and grew to a height of a hundred thousand feet. His potent aura quaked the surrounding space as it was fully released. It alarmed Qin Yun and company.

“This other-universe expert’s body is in no way inferior to the Ancestral Dragon’s. He’s another half-step Heavenly Dao realm expert of the Physical Establishing Sage lineage?”

People of the Physical Establishing Sage lineage were well-known to be powerful and difficult to deal with.

Yet, they had met one in the spatial tide.

“It’s been a while since I’ve fought.” Mochen smiled sinisterly as he extended his palm which brought with it powers that could destroy everything. Even the space surrounding his palm began the process of annihilation.

“Boom!”

A palm print struck the Misty Rain Array which shook gently, completely withstanding the blow.

“Oh? It held. This array formation is quite interesting.” Mochen thought nothing of it. He was confident that he could crack the array formation in front of him.

He often cracked the Dharma with overwhelming force.

“Swoosh!”

An arrow beam shot out.

It shot out of the Misty Rain Array and made Mochen turn his head. With a glance, he saw that the arrow beam had hit one of the envoys responsible for the array. However, the envoy had streams of light swirling over his body, fully blocking the blow.

“The arrow is rather fast, but it’s useless. We have long refined our bodies that they are like weapons. We have the array formation protecting us. You won’t be able to crack it.” Mochen thought nothing of it as he turned back to continue attacking the Misty Rain Array.

“Annihilate!”

Mochen growled softly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

He struck out palm after palm and, in a blink of an eye, he delivered ninety-nine strikes. To release all his strength in such a short span of time made the might extremely terrifying. It caused the surrounding space to warp into darkness.

“In terms of strength, it’s almost that of the combined forces of Fate’s thirty-plus controlled subordinates.” Qin Yun was secretly alarmed. “However, be it him or Fate, their full-powered blows are not concentrated. As for Hou Yi’s arrow… its might is focused.”

Mochen had the combination of ninety-nine palm strikes while Fate had the combined attacks of thirty plus subordinates.

Their strength naturally could not be focused.

“Whoosh.” The dark and deep Misty Rain Array continued churning as it diverted all the impact away.

“Oh? It still holds?” Mochen’s face fell. As he looked into the Misty Rain Array where Qin Yun was, he said, “From the looks of it, we made a wrong judgment and belittled this array formation of yours.”

“Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!”

At that moment, Hou Yi had already shot his fifth arrow.

He did not shoot at Mochen, but at the five envoys who were powering the array.

“His arrow’s might is increasing,” one of the envoys could not help but say. The fifth arrow was already sufficiently powerful.

“Can you hold out?” asked Mochen with a voice transmission.

“It’ll be hard to tell if his arrows continue to increase in strength,” replied the envoy with a voice transmission.

Mochen’s pupils constricted. He knew very well that even with him attacking at full force, he would spend ten minutes before having a chance of killing one of the five envoys while they powered the array. And that was under the premise that the five envoys did not flee!

“Begone!” Mochen grew in size again, turning more hideous. He appeared to have black dragons coiled around his body as his palm turned increasing incisive.

He burned his blood and pushed his powers to his limits!

He released ninety-nine palm strikes again at the Misty Rain Array.

Every palm appeared ordinary, but they were filled with a mystical charm upon more careful inspection. Combined together, the ninety-nine strikes formed a fusion array that blasted at the Misty Rain Array.

“Rumble~”

With Mochen releasing all his strength, he caused the Misty Rain Array to quake and rumble.

“It still holds?” Mochen wore a nasty expression. He had already done his best to no avail. That meant that he was probably unable to crack it. “The intelligence is ridiculously wrong. It even said the other two are very mediocre? My failure is all because of that array formation expert.” If he ended up charging in, Qin Yun was basically invincible when coupled with the domain’s suppression.

If he could not even crack the array formation, let alone being able to touch Qin Yun and company, how was he to capture them alive?

“Whew!”

Hou Yi’s seventh arrow shot out, striking one of the five envoys.

The envoy failed to withstand the blow as his chest was instantly penetrated. He lost his life immediately, causing the array formation to dissipate. The other four envoys had drastic changes in expression as they did not hesitate to flee in every direction possible! The five of them were responsible for setting up an array. With one gone… their attendance was meaningless.

“Escaping? Do you think you can escape?” Hou Yi drew his bow and strung four arrows at a time.

Whew Whew Whew Whew!

The four arrows shot out at the same time.

They streaked across space and flew in different directions. Instantly, they struck the four envoys who had their bodies penetrated instantly due to the lack of the array formation’s protection. All of them had their vitalities snuffed out as they died on the spot.

The five envoys were all dead.

“Whoosh—”

The Five-colored Divine Light domain enveloped Mochen.

“You are the only one left.” Hou Yi drew his bow once again as he looked at Mochen.

Mochen felt the suppression from the domain, but showed no fear. All he did was shoot a glance at the five envoy corpses floating in the spatial tide. “The five of you were completely controlled by Island Lord, losing even your free will. You were nothing but puppets of Island Lord! Now that you are dead… I guess you are free.”
