Chapter 500: Chapter 355: Four Symbols, Hear My Command (Part 2)

His long hair danced with the wind, his eyes sharp and stern.

A longsword shimmered like a wandering dragon.

"As a sword cultivator, when encountering injustice, one must slash it with a single sword, thus cleansing the sword’s heart!"

Brilliant and dazzling light sparkled from his body.

He instantly attracted the attention of the old Taoist and the woman.

The slaughter within Three Clouds Market came to a halt.

A glimmer of hope flickered in the eyes of all the cultivators.

Especially those who narrowly escaped death, gasping for breath as they fell to the ground.

However, more chose not to help, but instead quickened their pace to retreat.

The old Taoist and the woman flew like arrows towards the sword cultivator standing tall in midair.

The world changed colors.

Zhong Heng suddenly looked in one direction.

"A person is here."

"What?"

Qian Hua was taken aback.

Zhong Heng did not speak, only he could see, in the distant sky, a Golden Core Master stood in the air, overlooking the entire Three Clouds Market.

His cuffs were embroidered with a golden cloud.

A True Master of Shallow Cloud Mountain.

But... he did not take action.

Nearly eighty percent of Three Clouds Market’s industry was in the hands of Hundred Stars Alliance. Why would Shallow Cloud Mountain rescue them?

When the destruction is almost complete, no one would say anything if they act, and after the reconstruction of Three Clouds Market, Shallow Cloud Mountain could own more shares.

"Indeed, hope cannot be placed on them..."

Zhong Heng muttered to himself.

Qian Hua, in a moment of distraction, found Zhong Heng had disappeared from the spot.

"That’s a disciple of the Wandering Dragon Sword Sect!"

"The first sword cultivator of the Nine Sects’ Foundation Establishment Competition! Sunx Yue!!"

"He reached Fake Core so quickly."

"So young, there is hope for Golden Core..."

"Don’t say such things, he’s not just facing Fake Core powerhouses..."

Countless gazes turned to the high sky.

Sunx Yue waved his hand, three flying swords of varying lengths roamed around him.

Like three wandering dragons, emitting blue, green, and red gleams.

The light flickered, and in an instant, the three sword lights rapidly expanded into a sword Qi storm.

Yet the next second, the old Taoist’s sleeve expanded, unexpectedly absorbing all three sword Qi storms into it.

Sunx Yue’s expression remained unchanged.

He formed a sword technique with his hand.

A short sword beside him became ethereal, and the old Taoist’s sleeve was pierced, the short sword flying out, breaking the old Taoist’s divine technique.

In an instant, he swiftly turned, grasped the longsword, and as it resounded, it clashed with a short blade, causing True Essence to explode.

Sunx Yue flew backward.

The two Wandering Dragon Flying Swords quickly took him in.

Sword Intent enveloped his body, sword Qi soared to the sky.

And the old Taoist and that stunning woman turned into flowing light and stabbed again in an instant.

Ordinary cultivators couldn’t see clearly the battle between the three.

Only the sight of white, green, and purple lights flickering and colliding in the air.

Among them, the white sword light grew weaker.

"Sword Saint Talisman!"

A streak of white light pierced through space in an instant, cutting down the purple light.

The stunning woman flew backward, just to be seen, her black hair wildly dancing, while in her hand, a hairpin blocked a sword-shaped paper talisman.

"Wasted."

"Despite using even the Sword Saint Talisman, didn’t manage to kill one."

"Let’s go, no need to watch further."

"A pity, Sunx Yue, this Golden Core Seed, the Celestial Pride of Sword Dao is doomed to fall here today..."

"Even as a sword cultivator, what of it, even if invincible at the same stage, what of it."

"Those two have clearly surpassed the Golden Core Barrier, just not Golden Core Masters."

"Otherwise, with strong cultivators as numerous as clouds in Three Clouds Market, why does no one take action?"

"Still too young..."

"Too naive..."

Someone sighed lightly.

Some realized, quickly packed up and fled.

A turmoil arose again in the market, some took advantage of the chaos to rob, slaughter started again, but this time it was slaughter among companions.

A desperate atmosphere spread over Three Clouds Market.

"Steward Qian, we must leave!"

"Where is Zhong Heng!? Where did that kid go!?"

"I saw him go to the Array Master Alliance, it’s like a turtle shell there, with hidden paths, Brother Zhong is probably safe."

............

In midair, the old Taoist grabbed Sunx Yue’s head.

Blood flowed from all seven orifices of Sunx Yue’s face.

He looked up at the old Taoist with unwillingness.

"The True Masters won’t spare you."

"True Master?"

"As long as we kill you all, there won’t be True Masters in the future."

The words ’True Master’ seemed to provoke the old Taoist, who suddenly said.

"Sword, come!"

Sunx Yue, taking advantage of this opportunity, roared furiously, trying to gather all the power he had left, to slash out the last sword.

Someone cast a final glance at Sunx Yue.

"What a pity."

"Self-destruction of a Fake Core might still take one down with it."

"It’s just a shame for this Golden Core Seed..."

"I wonder how furious the Wandering Dragon Sword Sect will become..."

Everyone felt a sense of pity and anger.

However, the next second, everyone was stunned as a tremendous Sword Intent surged from Sunx Yue’s body.

"Boom!!"

The old Daoist was sent flying.

The disrupted array in the sky was restored.

The patterns of the array shifted, and a beam of light struck Sunx Yue.

Three Talents Clear Wind Sword Array!

Three sword lights flickered behind Sunx Yue.

An array was seen in the sky guarding a group of array masters.

The array masters had vacant eyes, a sign that their entire spirits were focused on the array.

Leading them was an ordinary-looking man.

"Master Zhong?!"

"Brother Sunx, it’s Zhong who arrived late."

Zhong Heng stood at the front of a group of array masters.

The Fish Scale White Jade Array encased the array masters, suspending them in the air, connecting with the foundational array of the entire Three Clouds Market, the Tier Four Array Three Cloud Spirit Array.

A purple stream of light soared back into the sky from the ground like an arrow shooting towards Sunx Yue.

That stunning woman was enveloped in the purple light, yet her beautiful face was now frenzied.

It seemed she used some secret technique, making her power nearly reach the Golden Core level.

Yet, Zhong Heng laughed.

"Fellow Daoists, today I’ll borrow your strength."

"We come from all corners with a longing to discuss arrays with Master Zhong. Now fighting side by side, isn’t it grand!"

"Hahaha, let us witness Brother Zhong’s prowess!"

Among these array masters, half were outsiders who came to discuss arrays with Zhong Heng, and at this moment, they trusted him immensely. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Since it is so."

"Hahaha, Brother Sunx!"

"Catch the sword!"

The Three Cloud Spirit Array started operating, its patterns layered and working, transforming into the Three Talents Clear Wind Sword Array.

No, it was even surpassing the Three Talents Clear Wind Sword Array.

Zhong Heng’s Divine Sense was insufficient to control such a massive Tier Four Array alone, the array masters acted as the extension of his Divine Sense.

The patterns turned into a longsword appearing in Sunx Yue’s hand.

"Good!"

"Release the sword!"

"Wandering Dragon!!!"

The sword of the array erupted into an unmatched brilliance.

"Boom————————"

The buildings crumbled to dust.

Wandering Dragon wrapped around the longsword, nailing the woman firmly to the ground.

A large pit formed in the earth, accompanied by a roar and a sky full of dust.

"Wandering Dragon, Three Transformations!"

Three sword lights appeared around Sunx Yue like the Wandering Dragon.

Then the sword lights truly transformed into Wandering Dragons, clawing and leaping toward the earth.

Zhong Heng’s eyes flashed with pure white.

His spirit was fully immersed in it all.

The Three Cloud Spirit Array, under Zhong Heng’s mind, constantly evolved its patterns, becoming more synchronized with Sunx Yue’s Wandering Dragon Sword.

"I see..."

A thread of enlightenment arose in Zhong Heng’s spirit.

"Cough, cough, Ziluo!"

The old Daoist’s eyes regained clarity, and he glanced around before swiftly charging out, shaking out Golden Armor Warriors from his sleeves.

He finally realized the opponent had the ability to kill him.

"Zhong..."

Sunx Yue looked slightly anxious, but the next second, his True Essence exhausted, he plummeted toward the ground.

Zhong Heng’s expression remained unchanged.

"Does Three Clouds Market seem like a place you can leave at will?"

Zhong Heng soared.

With a wave of his hand, four Support Array Discs appeared around him.

The discs, along with the Void Array Formation, connected with the Three Cloud Spirit Array and the four array discs.

The Three Cloud Spirit Array transformed into a support array at this moment, constantly infusing spiritual power and array power into the four array discs.

"Cyan Dragon."

With distinct scales and floating whiskers, a shimmering cyan dragon’s shadow appeared behind Zhong Heng.

The Cyan Dragon charged into the Long Sky, agitating the wind, encompassing the old Dao with gusty winds.

"Vermilion Bird."

The Flame Divine Bird spiraled upwards.

"White Tiger."

"Black Tortoise."

Like a marshal commanding generals, Zhong Heng sent the shadows of the Four Holy Beasts soaring into the sky.

All the array masters were taken aback, gazing incredulously at the not-so-tall figure standing before them.

The figure calmly uttered a few words.

"Four Symbols, heed my command!"

"Array, complete!"
