Primordial Divine Emperor-Chapter 81 - 72: The Melee Begins, Fierce Array Battle 2
"Could it be that below lies a peerless demon fiend of the Array Dao who has been awaited by the old Peak Master for thousands of years?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire peak of Array Peak trembled instantly.
And in the Martial Arts Arena.
Boom——!
When Ye Xiaofan once again swung the apricot-yellow flag, a gigantic phantom Ancient Sword clashed with Lin Xuan’s great knife, causing a violent storm as infinite Power of Heaven and Earth exploded, terrifying to behold.
However, the Power of Heaven and Earth that exploded wasn’t from Ye Xiaofan’s enormous Ancient Sword phantom but from the enormous great knife gathered by Lin Xuan’s array.
In an instant.
"Pfft—."
Lin Xuan spewed a mouthful of blood, instantly suffering from the backlash of the array, with his internal energy churning.
"Impossible, impossible!"
Despite the array backlash, Lin Xuan couldn’t care less about his injury and kept shaking his head, his Dao Heart collapsing.
However, before he could accept the reality, Ye Xiaofan’s giant Ancient Sword phantom had already shattered his great knife phantom. Though both were formed by the Power of Heaven and Earth, it was like comparing heaven and earth.
Moreover, the terrifying aftermath instantly swept Lin Xuan away, and the array flags he had set in the void also surfaced one by one, burning into ashes along with the apricot-yellow flag in his hands with a sound of ’puff’.
The aftershock from the Ancient Sword phantom utterly blasted Lin Xuan away. Half-kneeling on the Martial Arts Arena, he looked with horror at the massive Ancient Sword phantom that continued to tear through the void, his face turning pale with fear.
Finally, the proud Lin Xuan suddenly extended his left hand, splaying his fingers, and shouted loudly, "Brother Ye, please show mercy."
As Lin Xuan finished speaking, the terrifying Ancient Sword phantom halted its killing momentum just short of his brow and dispersed into the heavens and earth with a wave of Ye Xiaofan’s apricot-yellow flag.
Seeing the spontaneously dispersing Ancient Sword phantom, Lin Xuan felt relieved, his entire body slumping down, hastily crushing an array talisman.
As Lin Xuan crushed the array talisman, waves of power surged around him, surrounding him with a gentle array power as he slowly vanished from the Martial Arts Arena.
It was evident that this was the supreme grand array set up on the Martial Arts Arena by Array Peak, which would autonomously teleport eliminated contestants from the Array Battle; Lin Xuan, having lost now and suffered a backlash from his own array, staying here would only result in being obliterated by the arrays of other Array Dao prodigies.
The array talisman Lin Xuan had just crushed was the same as one in Ye Xiaofan’s hand, sent to South Peak by Array Peak a month ago, given to all the disciples participating in the Array Battle before the competition as a life-saving measure in a critical moment.
Watching Lin Xuan get teleported away.
Ye Xiaofan shook his head helplessly, murmuring to himself, "Senior brother, you left out a common knowledge of the Array Dao, which is that there is a second method to break an array, and that is absolute power."
As long as the power far surpasses the might of the grand array, brute force breaking of the array is also a way to break it.
For example, the array set by Ye Xiaofan at this moment was far more powerful than Lin Xuan’s, which not only made his victory in the Array Battle seem easy but also directly destroyed all of the opponent’s array flags.
No matter how terrifying the array is, with absolute strength, it can still be shattered with a punch.
Just as Ye Xiaofan was sighing.
Suddenly.
Boom——!
A terrifying array power enveloped the entire Array Peak Martial Arts Arena, instantly pulling him in. When he reappeared, it was no longer the place where he fought with Lin Xuan, but a different location.
Not only was Ye Xiaofan moved, but almost all the people still standing in the Martial Arts Arena were scrambled and appeared in different positions.
It was obvious that the mixed battle had begun, and from this moment on, it would be a truly fierce Array Battle, with no opponents anymore, as everyone within sight was an opponent.
The purpose of changing positions was to prevent anyone from forming alliances and jointly sweeping one side.
It can be said that from this moment on, anyone standing in the Martial Arts Arena could randomly launch array kills at anyone until only one person remained within a two-kilometer radius.
This is a mixed battle, with no rules to speak of.
Whoever stands to the last, wins.
For a moment.
All the disciples of the Divine Sword Sect watching were filled with excitement.
"Kill!"
Boom!
Suddenly.
The crowd in the Martial Arts Arena quickly reacted, instantly swinging their apricot-yellow flags for indiscriminate attacks.
Fortunately, this position shift also brought their array flags along, so countless unrivaled talents of Array Peak directly swung their array flags, sweeping everyone around them.
Ye Xiaofan had yet to respond when he was shrouded by a Killing Array, endless Power of Wood Element forming a wooden attribute cage, instantly locking him tightly.
Not only that, through the gaps in the wooden attribute cage, he could see countless terrifying Sword Shadows emerging all around the cage, piercing through the air towards him as if thousands of arrows were fired simultaneously, aiming to array-kill him within the cage.
"Break!"
Without hesitation, Ye Xiaofan swung the apricot-yellow flag in his hand, gathering countless Power of Heaven and Earth into a Sword Net, breaking open the cage and leaping to dodge backward.
Rumble!
The moment he broke the cage and left, countless Sword Shadows formed by Power of Heaven and Earth already covered that area, exploding with terrifying force, engulfing everything.
However, not giving Ye Xiaofan a chance to react, he instantly felt the temperature above his head rise sharply; looking up, he saw endless blazing fire sweeping down from above.
"Water Array, rise!"
Ye Xiaofan’s brows furrowed slightly, and he waved his hand, launching dozens of array flags, which instantly disappeared into the void.
In his hand also appeared another apricot-yellow flag, and without much thought, Ye Xiaofan swung it, causing ocean-like Power of Water Attribute to gather wildly, forming a massive water curtain to meet the overwhelming flames.
Chhzz——!
Water and fire clashed, the initial contact of the two terrifying forces of heaven and earth instantly exploded into a terrible heat wave, with momentum soaring to the sky.
Seizing the moment the Water Array held off the flames, Ye Xiaofan flew back once again, while frantically throwing endless array flags into the void, leaving the surrounding Array Peak disciples astonished.
"Damn it, who is this guy? How come he has so many array flags? It’s like they’re free."
Some Array Peak disciples, witnessing this scene, looked utterly bewildered.
"Seems like it’s that Ye Xiaofan."
"What? Him? What’s with throwing so many array flags? Is he trying to control so many arrays at once?"
"Could he be so scared that he’s lost his mind?"
Many of the nearby Array Peak disciples, already fighting fiercely, were attracted by the sight of Ye Xiaofan throwing out so many array flags, finding it both shocking and amusing.
Normally, at their level of Array Masters, being able to simultaneously control the operation of even one or two arrays was not easy. This guy was throwing so many array flags, which was simply absurd.
Yet Ye Xiaofan paid no mind to these voices and, after retreating dozens of meters, watched quietly the now-chaotic Array Battle conference, with a dark line across his face.
Earlier, he had been besieged by several Killing Arrays, clearly targeted as someone had recognized him.
Thinking of this, even Ye Xiaofan felt somewhat annoyed, his eyes scanning everyone.
"Have you had enough of sneak attacks? If you have, then it’s my turn now."
