Chapter 730: Scheming or Courting Death?

‘So strong! The aura of this Divine Dragon has reached the level of a Mid-stage Second-tier Divine King, at the very least. With my current strength, I can’t possibly block it!’

Yang Xiao could tell with just a single glance.

He saw the specific strength of the Divine Dragon charging at him.

Because he saw this, he understood even more clearly that he could not block it this time.

He wouldn’t be able to block it!

‘My only option is a running battle. I never expected these guys to be able to form such an Immortal Dao Array. It seems these Immortal Cultivators are truly remarkable.’

Yang Xiao had long known that the Immortal Dao was extraordinary.

How could the Dao tradition founded by the one who had managed to plot against him be simple?

But this time, the performance of these Immortal Cultivators and the power of this Immortal Array still surprised him slightly.

However, it was only a slight surprise.

With Yang Xiao’s experience,

given a certain amount of time, it wasn’t impossible for him to see through this Immortal Dao Array.

And thus unravel its mysteries.

This was also why Yang Xiao planned on a running battle.

In any case, there were still over two hundred people here, and they were all fodder for his advancement. Whether it was for his Physical Strength or the Essence Qi needed to generate the Heaven and Earth Origin Flame for his Blue Flame First Revolution Peak, he needed the power and Immortal Dao Will from these people.

Yang Xiao would absolutely not give them up.

And so,

both the Immortal Dao Influence and Yang Xiao were locked in a battle of attrition.

One could see,

Yang Xiao’s figure flickered about, never confronting the Divine Dragon formed by the Immortal Array head-on. Yet, he didn’t retreat in the slightest, and whenever he found an opportunity, he would strike at the Immortal Cultivators within the array.

Instantly,

he managed to tie down these Immortal Cultivators.

And in fact,

the leaders of these Immortal Cultivators were also eager to kill Yang Xiao, whether to complete their mission or to obtain the special Divine Soldier in his possession.

In their eyes,

Yang Xiao had to die.

Thus,

the situation became an inextricable stalemate. They went back and forth, constantly clashing and probing one another.

“Tianyi Immortal Venerable, this man is able to contend with us at only the Divine General Peak level. It seems he’s actually a top-tier genius. Do you think he might be backed by some major power?”

After fighting for a long time,

the leading Immortal Venerables of the Immortal Cultivator group were growing weary.

Earth One Immortal Venerable, who was ranked second in strength among them, couldn’t help but ask.

“I must disagree, Earth One Immortal Venerable. This man is, at most, within the range of a High-tier Genius. Although he could be considered at the peak of High-tier Geniuses, he is definitely not a top-tier genius. His ability to fight us is purely due to that Divine Soldier he wields. However, to possess such strength, he is certainly no nobody and must have some power behind him. But, as long as we can complete the mission given to us by Yuan Yang Immortal Monarch, why would we fear any power backing him?”

Once these words were spoken,

Earth One Immortal Venerable’s eyes lit up.

That’s right.

If they could get in Yuan Yang Immortal Monarch’s good graces, they wouldn’t have the slightest fear, no matter how powerful the force behind this kid was.

After all, Yuan Yang Immortal Monarch was one of the Ten Great Immortal Monarchs of the Immortal Realm. His own strength was probably enough to fight even a Top-tier Emperor.

Not to mention, they were all people of the Immortal Dao. Even if the power behind this kid was strong, would they dare charge into the Immortal Realm to seek revenge for him?

Therefore,

this kid had to be killed.

Not killing him, on the other hand, might invite a huge disaster.

“Tianyi Immortal Venerable is right. I misjudged earlier. However, this kid refuses to confront us head-on. Killing him will be very difficult, won’t it?”

Earth One Immortal Venerable continued.

At these words,

Tianyi Immortal Venerable couldn’t help but frown.

He didn’t really have any good solutions for the current situation either.

This guy was simply too slippery.

Even if Tianyi Immortal Venerable racked his brain, it was all useless if he couldn’t hit his opponent.

On the contrary, the two hundred-plus people within the Immortal Array were left panting for breath, their Immortal Power excessively consumed.

They also had to guard against Yang Xiao breaking the array.

Tianyi Immortal Venerable was already mentally and physically exhausted and couldn’t think of any solution.

He simply couldn’t come up with one.

But seeing him like this,

Earth One Immortal Venerable smiled.

“I actually have a way to kill this man in one fell swoop. I just don’t know if Tianyi Immortal Venerable dares to take a few risks.”

“Risks? What risks? Tell me about it. If it’s truly feasible, it’s worth a try, even with risks.”

Tianyi Immortal Venerable’s eyes instantly lit up.

Earth One Immortal Venerable didn’t keep him in suspense and began to speak, “I’m sure Tianyi Immortal Venerable can also see that this man isn’t fighting us head-on, but he isn’t fleeing either. Clearly, he wants to kill us too. He’s been roaming around, constantly probing, obviously trying to find a weakness in the Immortal Array. But this Immortal Array was passed down by the Profound Celestial Immortal Monarch. How could a mere Martial Cultivator like him possibly see through it? Even if you gave him more time, he would likely fail. Therefore, I believe since he can’t find a real opening, we should create a fake one for him. We’ll let him think he has an opportunity, and then…”

Earth One Immortal Venerable didn’t finish his sentence.

But Tianyi Immortal Venerable clearly understood.

And he completely agreed with the idea.

Just as Earth One Immortal Venerable had said, this Immortal Array was an Immortal Dao Secret Array passed down by the Profound Celestial Immortal Monarch, one of the Ten Great Immortal Monarchs. It could gather all of their power and transform it into a terrifying attack in the form of a Divine Dragon True Body.

Its power depended on the number of people and their cultivation.

Basically, it had no flaws.

Even if it did have a flaw, it was certainly not one that this insignificant Martial Cultivator could see through.

But at this rate,

their conflict would just drag on indefinitely.

If their opponent couldn’t find a flaw, he might even just decide to flee.

With this kid’s speed and abilities, they wouldn’t be able to catch him.

That would be a tremendous loss.

So,

it was better to feign an opening. Just when the kid thought he could break the array, at his most complacent moment, they would capture and kill him in one move.

However, creating this opening would probably require some careful thought.

Tianyi Immortal Venerable thought for a moment but had no ideas.

A thought flashed through his mind,

and he began to smile.

He said to Earth One Immortal Venerable, “Good, that is an excellent idea. Earth One Immortal Venerable, if this succeeds, you will have performed the greatest service. We can also cooperate more closely in the future. When the time comes, whether it’s the credit or the Divine Soldier, I can share them with you. But for now, I must ask, how do we make this man fall for it?”

“That’s simple!”

Earth One Immortal Venerable was clearly already confident in his plan.

He immediately laid out his ideas one by one.

Tianyi Immortal Venerable was greatly shaken as he listened.

‘So this guy actually has such a deep understanding of this Immortal Array.’

‘He really is an old fox.’

Thinking this,

he became even more wary of Earth One Immortal Venerable.

However,

he completely adopted his suggestions.

Immediately,

he began to set up the trap according to Earth One Immortal Venerable’s suggestions.

And right at this moment,

Yang Xiao also let out a soft sigh of relief.

A sharp light flared in his eyes.

Looking at the Immortal Array before him, he smiled to himself.

‘I’ve finally figured it out. This time, I’d like to see just how you all plan to die!’

The moment the thought crossed his mind,

the aura of the Immortal Array suddenly changed.

Yang Xiao’s gaze hardened for a moment, but then he started to laugh.

These guys.

They were actually courting death!

Interesting.

How very interesting!
