Chapter 2219 - 2208: Array Core, Evil Sword!

Similar to me?

Just as Lin Zifeng was confused, a purple light flashed before his eyes, and the golden protective shield trembled slightly, startling him into shouting, "Never mind who it’s similar to, the urgent matter now is to resolve these eighteen ancestors in front of us. Have you thought of a solution?"

"Hmph, a small problem like this can’t stump a smart girl like me. If my guess is right, destroying the eye of this Soul-locking Array will break the control over the eighteen ancestral females."

Array eye...

Murmuring to himself, Lin Zifeng’s eyes narrowed intensely, and he suddenly looked towards the red longsword, thinking to himself, "Besides the eighteen ancestral females and this longsword, there’s nothing else in this layer. It must be the array eye, but..."

Thinking of this, Lin Zifeng’s brow furrowed with worry. He had been aware of that red longsword from the moment he entered.

The aura it contained was like the Nine Nether Purgatory, and even from such a distance, just feeling it made Lin Zifeng’s hair stand on end.

If White Sky Venerable’s Blood Python Soul Devouring was a babbling brook, then this longsword felt like an unfathomable ocean to Lin Zifeng!

"Ruoyun, can you sense whether there’s any clues about that red longsword?" In this dangerous situation, Lin Zifeng decided to be cautious, solemnly instructing her in his heart.

After a long silence, Lin Zifeng heard a gasp in his mind, and Mu Ruoyun’s pleasant voice was filled with astonishment, "Such a mysterious formation, I can’t understand it all at once, but I can be sure it’s that longsword, controlling the eighteen females and continuously transferring elemental power to them."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zifeng realized with a start; no wonder he felt as if the longsword had been staring at him since entering, it was the mastermind behind the scenes!

Thinking of this, Lin Zifeng did not hesitate anymore. A surge of golden light appeared in his hand, and a golden orb shot out instantly. But as soon as he threw it, Lin Zifeng regretted it.

Right in front of him was a protective shield! If he attacked, wouldn’t he be causing his own downfall, fearing that the shield wouldn’t break quickly enough?

In an instant, Lin Zifeng was astounded, his star-like eyes fixed on the golden orb he had thrown!

The golden orb shot out like an arrow, and upon contacting the golden protective shield, it only paused momentarily before breaking through the shield, heading straight toward the red longsword!

"This... how is this possible!?"

Filled with disbelief, Lin Zifeng recalled that there were only two possibilities for elemental power to break through a protective shield: either the creator of the shield or a mark left during its creation allowing specific individuals to pass!

"Bang!"

In his shock, Lin Zifeng heard a loud crash and saw that the orb close to the longsword had been blocked by a female ancestor sacrificing herself.

"Ah..."

A grievous scream from a woman shook Lin Zifeng, and when he looked again, the scarlet eyes of the ancestral females stared at him with even more intense murderous intent!

"What to do now? If the eighteen females keep defending, destroying the longsword is impossible, and the shield won’t last long."

Conflicted internally, Lin Zifeng mechanically launched five more golden orbs within the span of a single breath.

"Bang..."

As expected, all five orbs were blocked by the bodies of the ancestral females, embarrassing Lin Zifeng. This Soul-locking Array was terrifyingly formidable, compelling those females to sacrifice themselves without hesitation, knowing it meant certain death.

While Lin Zifeng was shocked, Mu Ruoyun saw everything clearly and said gravely, "Have you noticed that the intellect of these females seems... a bit low?"

Low intellect? Lin Zifeng muttered a single phrase and immediately understood the issue!

These ancestral females were Saint Realm experts in life, with strong combat instincts. He hadn’t even used his full strength just now, and they certainly had time to defend with elemental power, but they chose to use their bodies instead!

In other words... the wills of these females did not belong to themselves; they were controlled by that longsword! Controlling the wills of eighteen ancestral females simultaneously, thus resorting to such a desperate measure.

With a light chuckle, Lin Zifeng’s face became extremely calm, looking at the protective shield about to shatter. However, the veins on his clenched fists throbbed violently.

"Bang!"

Finally, under the frenzied attack of the eighteen ancestral females, the shield couldn’t hold any longer. With a loud crash, it shattered into countless fragments, disappearing into the air.

Amidst the thousands of glowing fragments, Lin Zifeng’s figure darted forward!

"Dragon Soaring Soul Suppressing Palm!"

With a fierce shout, the golden elemental power condensed in Lin Zifeng’s right hand took the shape of a dragon’s head, carrying immense momentum as it struck towards the red longsword embedded in the ground!

As expected, seeing Lin Zifeng charging forward, the eighteen ancestral females unleashed their elemental power toward the afterimage in mid-air, but their control by the longsword rendered them unable to see the playful curve at the corner of Lin Zifeng’s mouth!

"Ruoyun, space gravity!"

Before the words faded in his mind, Mu Ruoyun had already exerted the space gravity to its fullest, accompanied by the self-inflating Primordial Battle Banner!

"Buzz..."

In mid-air, Lin Zifeng slightly turned his head, seeing the bright light slowing to the extreme, making it dodgable even for an average person!

"Hmph... you’re just a sword, how could you possibly win against me!" With a roar, Lin Zifeng’s battle spirit surged, and the golden dragon in his hands flew fiercely towards the longsword.

In an instant, the golden dragon was less than three meters from the longsword, so fast that even under the control of the longsword, the eighteen ancestral females couldn’t intercept it!

"Bang!"

Like the Nine Heavens Buddhist Chant, cracks appeared on the trembling stone slabs under Lin Zifeng’s feet, while the red longsword was enveloped in a cloud of dust.

Though lengthy in description, Lin Zifeng’s seamless attack took less than a single breath, with the Primordial Battle Banner’s space gravity and the golden dragon rising almost simultaneously!

As his feet touched the ground, Lin Zifeng’s form flickered, finding suppressing the attack of eighteen Saint Realm fighters challenging even after a significant recent strength increase.

What’s more, having used all his elemental power on gravity control, Lin Zifeng couldn’t unleash any more battle skills now.

But it was all part of Lin Zifeng’s plan; if he couldn’t defeat you, couldn’t he at least run away!

Mu Ruoyun had just informed him that since the eighteen ancestral females now existed only as souls, only elemental power could harm them, which meant that even if they were right in front of him and ready to attack, they couldn’t even touch the hem of his clothes! The Primordial Battle Banner, coupled with space gravity, provided dual insurances.
