My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 489 - 169: [Second Update]

Seeing Gu Qingqing using talismans, Si Lin and the others also remembered the talismans stored in their Qiankun Rings, and quickly took them out. After activating them with Immortal Qi, they threw them into the crowd.

For a moment, the town was constantly flickering with colors—from a high altitude, it looked vibrant and even somewhat beautiful.

However, the attackers were much less fortunate, some being frozen, some engulfed in flames, some struck by lightning, and others pierced by Wind Blades... the scene was chaotic and even a bit comical.

In comparison, the effect was great, as Gu Qingqing and the others eliminated over a hundred people.

Including the previous wave of attacks, dozens more lives were taken, quickly opening up space on the street.

Nan Hua’s hands never stopped moving from the start of the attack, one Array after another was birthed from his fingertips and tossed into the crowd, occasionally sending a pillar of light soaring into the sky, trapping dozens of attackers within.

Controlled and stripped of their thinking abilities, these people could only make simple evasions or continuous attacks, unable to break free, and were relentlessly slain by Killing Arrays, with figures falling continuously.

The frequent use of immortal power made Nan Hua’s complexion somewhat pale, but their cultivation technique differed from ordinary people’s, with more robust meridians, and more stored immortal power within their bodies. Naturally, they required much more immortal power during cultivation.

The advantages of the cultivation technique were evident now, even though he appeared pale, he still had nearly forty percent of his immortal power left, enough to continue crafting numerous arrays. To speed up the recovery of his immortal power, he also consumed an Elixir for replenishing immortal power.

Although the medicinal power couldn’t be fully absorbed during battle, it was enough for him to regain part of his immortal power and continue fighting.

Si Lin was the same, his Swordsmanship reached a point of utter simplicity but his moves carried immense power, with golden giant Sword Qi often taking four or five lives.

A Golden Dragon phantom circled him, occasionally opening its mouth to absorb Immortal Qi from the air and transfer it to Si Lin’s body. Although it couldn’t keep up with Si Lin’s consumption rate, it could still restore a notable amount of immortal power, preventing Si Lin from tiring easily.

Mu Chen moved swiftly among the crowd, with every thrust of the Red Flame Spear forming a fire line. Wherever the fire line passed, figures fell or were injured, creating open space around him, but he paid no attention and continued charging into the crowd.

His complexion was already quite pale, perpetually looking sickly. Now, with excessive expenditure, he seemed even more pallid to the point his lips were ghostly white, yet his speed did not slow down, remaining vibrant among the crowd, clearing the controlled individuals around him.

The silver scimitar darted back and forth through the crowd, each pass claiming several lives. Jun Wu’s expression remained calmly composed throughout, his gaze cold when looking at those intending to attack him. When they fell, he didn’t blink an eye.

Yue Zhao’s hands left afterimages on the Flowing Light Zither, producing a continuous kill-filled music. The invisible Sound Blades filled the vicinity, attacking those trying to assail him from all sides, his face pale and his smile at the corners of his lips increasingly sinister.

Originally protected by Si Lin and others, Gu Qingqing, as they all charged into the crowd, followed suit. The white Mixed Immortal Silk slithered like a Spiritual Snake among people, robbing lives before they could react. Her expression remained composed, a few drops of fresh blood splashed onto her cheeks, giving her an alluring presence.

The number of people in the town was too large, and even though Gu Qingqing and the others were formidable, they occasionally sustained injuries. After fighting for an hour, they had exterminated almost half the town, yet every one of them bore wounds.

They gathered again, warily watching the surrounding crowd.

"This won’t do, there are too many people here, and our immortal power is limited. If we continue fighting like this, it might prove disadvantageous to us." Si Lin remarked while attacking, directing his words at Yue Zhao and the others.

"Indeed, we must devise a strategy. If we continue like this, even if not killed, we’ll exhaust ourselves to death!" Mu Chen said earnestly while killing a man charging toward him with his spear.

"Third brother, is there a way to break the array? We can cover you." Gu Qingqing turned to Nan Hua, frowning as she inquired.

Nan Hua was the most knowledgeable about Arrays among them. Now trapped here, they needed to break the array to escape, then board the Flying Boat to leave.

"I’ll give it a try." Nan Hua’s eyes flickered, speaking cautiously.

He didn’t feel confident, but as Si Lin and the others stated, without devising a method out, staying engaged with these controlled people offered no advantages at all. Controlled, they lacked intellect and pain awareness, and unless fatally struck down, they would crawl tenaciously toward you.

After speaking, both his hands moved rapidly, drawing an array for himself, enveloped by a golden pillar of light. He sat with legs crossed within the pillar, closed his eyes to calm himself, and commenced exploring the array.

Meanwhile, Gu Qingqing and the five refrained from charging into the crowd, instead forming a protective circle around Nan Hua, similar to how Si Lin and others had shielded Gu Qingqing, preventing anyone from approaching him.

All five faced different directions, immediately neutralizing any enemies attempting to close in. There was no chance for anyone to reach them.

Gu Qingqing even awakened the slumbering Little Yu, placing it directly outside Nan Hua’s pillar of light to protect him, should the five prove inadequate in their vigilance.

Nan Hua trusted Gu Qingqing and the others deeply, confident in their protection, thus devoting his entire mind to locating the flaws or the eye of the array.

For an Array Master, discovering the array’s eye allows easy dismantling of the array. Though some arrays can be disassembled without finding the eye, this is only possible when the Array Master’s level surpasses the person who set it.

After probing the entire array, Nan Hua quickly grasped some insight into the setter. This wasn’t arranged by an Array Master but an individual likely having acquired the array map or arrangement method, evident from unfamiliarity with certain details.
