Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 590 - 293: Melee_3

But when he saw Ba Qingzhu’s extremely serious expression, his tone immediately softened, and his demeanor became tense: "What, have you noticed something unusual?"

Upon hearing this, Ba Qingzhu remained silent, his expression becoming even more serious.

He slowly surveyed the surroundings, his eyes sharp as an eagle’s, missing no corner.

Everyone was instantly made nervously anxious by him.

The Foundation Establishment and Qi Cultivators instinctively tightened their grips on their Magical Artifacts, constantly looking around, fearing an enemy might suddenly appear.

"Something’s not right!"

Ba Qingzhu furrowed his brow and sniffed carefully.

"What?"

Everyone became even more nervous.

"You all..."

Ba Qingzhu sniffed again with a serious expression, "Did you smell anything?"

"Smell?"

Everyone was puzzled and subconsciously sniffed too.

"No!"

After a moment, everyone shook their heads blankly.

"Really?"

Ba Qingzhu nodded knowingly, "Then... maybe I was overthinking it."

The crowd...

At such a tense moment, could you not scare us like this?

Luo Tian glared fiercely at Ba Qingzhu but restrained his impulse to curse.

"Everyone, get on the copper pillars and activate the array!"

After giving the order again, he took the lead and stepped onto the largest copper pillar.

This copper pillar, located in the center of the basin, is the key hub of the Sect Protection Array, with the densest runes and requiring the most powerful Spiritual Power.

"Wait."

Ba Qingzhu shouted again, this time with Divine Sense fluctuation, successfully scaring everyone again.

"What now?" Luo Tian glared angrily.

"I forgot, I should be on that pillar!" Ba Qingzhu said in a deep voice.

"I... you..."

Luo Tian was really fed up, "Stop being so jumpy, don’t speak unless necessary, just do as I arrange!"

"Do as you arrange?"

"No problem, I’m the most obedient, but I fear you won’t hold out until then," Ba Qingzhu said faintly.

"!??"

Luo Tian was stunned, not understanding what he meant.

At this moment, "Thud, thud, thud..."

A series of heavy objects falling sounds rang out continuously.

All the Qi and Foundation Establishment Cultivators preparing to activate the array on the copper pillars fell like dumplings, one after another, plunging to the ground, creating chaos.

"You poisoned us???"

Luo Tian’s face changed drastically, eyes widening with rage and panic, staring intently at Ba Qingzhu.

He just tried to mobilize Mana to defend himself, but immediately felt dizzy and weak, almost falling off the copper pillar! 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"This Third Rank poison is colorless and tasteless, but it needs to be absorbed to take effect. Fortunately, controlling the array can’t maintain a Mana shield, otherwise it would’ve been difficult!"

Ba Qingzhu calmly watched Luo Tian, speaking faintly.

...

...

Southern battlefield of the Seed Puppet Sect.

"Gu Yuntao, you have a lot of nerve to brazenly tear up the contract and violently attack my Seed Puppet Sect!!" The Sect Leader of the Seed Puppet Sect, Cong Jie, stared with burning anger in his eyes, as if about to incinerate the oppressive young man in front of him.

One should know this contract was drafted personally by both parties under the Hundred Bamboo Sect’s witness.

Now, Gu Yuntao dared to brazenly break the contract!

"Contract?"

Gu Yuntao’s lips curled into a cold smile, "It was just a delaying tactic. Today marks your Seed Puppet Sect’s demise."

"Fine!"

Hearing Gu Yuntao’s arrogant words, Cong Jie’s eyes turned ice-cold, his voice brimming with killing intent,

"Since you broke the contract first, even if I kill you outright, the Hundred Bamboo Sect will have no complaints!"

"Too much talking!"

Gu Yuntao didn’t want to waste more words. As soon as he finished speaking, he acted without hesitation.

With a quick Magic Technique, over twenty Puppets’ auras connected, instantly forming a Puppet Array.

A quasi-Fourth Rank aura enveloped the battlefield, causing both sides to tremble with unease.

"This kid Gu Yuntao, the Puppet Array’s power has improved again!"

Cong Jie’s expression became serious, but soon turned into a cold sneer, "Do you think I’ve made no progress over the years?"

With a wave of his sleeve, Magic Techniques surged around him!

An array no less than Gu Yuntao’s Puppet Array formed suddenly.

What’s more shocking was, beside the Puppet Array stood a three-zhang-tall, lifelike Puppet.

Its aura had reached a quasi-Fourth Rank level, the massive body resembling a small mountain, exerting an invisible pressure.

"Attack!"

At Cong Jie’s Magic Technique command and mental prompt,

The Puppet Array and quasi-Fourth Rank Puppet immediately launched an attack on Gu Yuntao without hesitation.

"It seems you haven’t lived these years in vain, your Divine Sense reached Nascent Soul level!"

Though the opponent’s attack far exceeded his, Gu Yuntao’s face showed no panic.

To simultaneously control the Puppet Array and the quasi-Fourth Rank Puppet, the opponent’s Divine Sense must have reached the Nascent Soul threshold.

He calmly controlled the Puppet Array to protect himself firmly.

Boom! Boom!

Twisted crimson beams of destruction were fired from the Puppet Array and quasi-Fourth Rank Puppet, slamming into Gu Yuntao’s Puppet shield first.

The beams, filled with immense energy, crashed against the shield, producing a deafening noise, ripples spreading across the shield.

Then, the quasi-Fourth Rank Puppet flickered and appeared in front of the Puppet shield, raising a giant fist high before punching it heavily.

Crack!

The shield, having suffered two heavy blows, finally couldn’t withstand it and shattered with a crack.

Fragments scattered like snowflakes, and the entire Puppet Array was struck backward by the powerful impact.

However, under Gu Yuntao’s control, all the Puppets absorbed this energy separately, resulting in no substantial damage.
