The Invincible Doctor of the Female Village Chief-Chapter 680 - 681: Upheaval Within the Hundred Realms Map
Listening to Liu Zixuan’s words, Nicholas furrowed his brows and said, "If they manage to return alive, they will surely see you as a mortal enemy and seek revenge."
"Whether they live or die, they have long considered me their enemy. What’s the difference?" Liu Zixuan scoffed, speaking with a domineering tone, "If I can kill them once, I can kill them twice. If I am pushed to become a demon, I fear no bloodstains on my hands!"
Nicholas is the most handsome twitched his lips a few times upon hearing this. It seemed that Liu Zixuan had already planned ahead for everything that would happen.
Silently nodding, he asked, "So what do we do next?"
"Those three pitfalls..." Liu Zixuan frowned, and suddenly the whole space shook. With this tremor, the four people lying in front of them disappeared, and the surrounding mountains began to move.
Nicholas is the most handsome grabbed Liu Zixuan’s arm to steady himself, asking hurriedly, "What’s going on?"
"It’s an array," Liu Zixuan said in a deep voice. "I had originally thought the terrain here was special, forming a natural circle. It seems the so-called three pitfalls are indeed mechanical arrays of some sort!"
Just as the situation inside the Hundred Realms Map underwent significant changes, something was also happening outside.
The Hundred Realms Map is a treasure that only an Emperor Realm expert can fully control. Liu Qianfeng was still a step away from the Emperor Realm; he couldn’t fully control the Hundred Realms Map. Thus, he only had a limited understanding of what was happening inside.
While they were quietly waiting for the one-hour limit, the Hundred Realms Map suspended in mid-air suddenly trembled twice, shaking almost to the point of falling to the ground.
Liu Qianfeng hurriedly operated a cultivation technique to forcibly stabilize the Hundred Realms Map. After much effort, as the map stabilized, four beams of light fell from it, unmistakably the four people including Duanmu Linsen.
One after another, they lay directly on the ground, completely motionless!
This scene left everyone in the hall dumbfounded, repeatedly asking Liu Qianfeng what had happened.
Liu Qianfeng furrowed his brows, "The four of them were killed by Liu Zixuan inside the Hundred Realms Map!"
"What!"
"Is Liu Zixuan really that strong?"
"Everyone, calm down!" Liu Qianfeng waved his hand. "The Hundred Realms Map is a small world on its own, not closely linked to the outside, so the four are not truly dead, just temporarily unconscious."
"If my son was truly killed by Liu Zixuan, once he comes out, I shall have him accompany my son in burial!" At this time, four or five elders emerged; these were the elders of Duanmu Linsen and the others.
Liu Qianfeng frowned deeply but did not pay these people any mind because he hadn’t expected Liu Zixuan to be strong enough to kill all four of them together.
Liu Qianyun came over and asked, "What about Liu Zixuan and Nicholas is the most handsome?"
"They are going through those three pitfalls," Liu Qianfeng shook his head. "But, it shouldn’t be."
"What’s wrong?" Liu Qianyun asked.
"Those three pitfalls were mechanical arrays left by the great ancestor. The great ancestor once said each pitfall mostly appeared alone, but just now, the Hundred Realms Map trembled, obviously indicating the simultaneous emergence of three mechanical arrays. This situation has only occurred once since the Hundred Realms Map fell into our Willow Association’s hands."
Listening to Liu Qianfeng’s words, Liu Qianyun’s eyes narrowed, "Was it when the great ancestor fell?"
"That’s right, when the great ancestor fell, the Hundred Realms Map’s three mechanical arrays were simultaneously activated. But the great ancestor was an Emperor Realm martial artist, Liu Zixuan is just an Imperial Realm Early Stage guy. How could he simultaneously trigger three mechanical arrays?"
Saying this, Liu Qianfeng walked directly toward Zhong Baichuan and others, channeling pure inner strength into his meridians until Zhong Baichuan slowly woke up.
Looking at everything around with a pale face, he muttered, "Am I not dead yet?"
"What just happened inside?" Liu Qianfeng asked solemnly.
Zhong Baichuan rubbed his forehead and recounted the event where Liu Zixuan unleashed a powerful array, telling Liu Qianfeng.
Liu Qianfeng was startled, "Could it be that the array Liu Zixuan deployed posed a threat to the Hundred Realms Map? If not, there’s no way it could have triggered all three mechanical arrays!"
"What do we do now?" In a moment, Liu Qianyun also panicked.
Liu Qianfeng frowned, "I’m afraid you have to go inside once. The Hundred Realms Map contains three mechanical arrays meant to temper future generations, but there’s also a hidden array, a defense array protecting the small world. When the three mechanical arrays are triggered simultaneously, the protective array will appear with the third array. If Liu Zixuan goes in, he may touch the treasure left by the great ancestor."
Liu Qianyun’s eyes widened, "That’s a blessing left by the great ancestor for descendants, absolutely not something Liu Zixuan can touch!"
"Indeed," Liu Qianfeng furrowed his brows deeply, "it’s maddening; who would’ve thought an Imperial Realm Early Stage guy could unleash such power!"
At this time, they had no mind to ponder much on these matters, so Liu Qianfeng quickly sent Liu Qianyun into the Hundred Realms Map.
People nearby didn’t know what had happened, but seeing Liu Qianfeng’s expression, they seemed to guess that Liu Zixuan did something he shouldn’t have.
In a moment, the entire hall was shrouded in an extremely oppressive atmosphere.
And Liu Ruyan and Ying Qingning also became anxious.
...
Inside the Hundred Realms Map.
In the short time that just passed, Liu Zixuan and Nicholas is the most handsome had already passed the first two pitfalls. The first pitfall was the collapse of a great mountain with flames spewing fiercely, and the second was a reversing river with ice pillars emerging.
Although these arrays were formidable, Liu Zixuan resolved them, as the mountains and rivers were the array bases. As long as the bases were destroyed, the arrays naturally collapsed!
However, now, they found themselves trapped in a dangerous situation.
Because at this moment, all surrounding mountains and rivers had vanished, leaving them in a completely blank space. In this space, phantom-like samurai would occasionally appear, or ferocious beasts would surface, making it impossible to discern whether they were inside or outside the array, showing no trace of the array base.
After dodging a round of attack, Nicholas is the most handsome murmured with lingering fear, "What the hell is this? It seems those phantom samurai and beasts are unkillable!"
Liu Zixuan furrowed his brows, "It’s still an array."
"But you just said there’s an array base or array eye. Yet now, there’s nothing here, just emptiness, even the attacking people or beasts appear out of nowhere," Nicholas is the most handsome remarked in confusion.
Liu Zixuan took a deep breath, "If I’m not mistaken, the array base for this formation is the Hundred Realms Map itself. To break the array, there’s only one way!"
"What is it?"
Liu Zixuan said word by word, "Destroy this small world! Otherwise, we’ll be worn down to death by those samurai and beasts!"
