Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2143 Chapter 1009: Lu Fairy (Part 3)
Previously on Immortality Through Array Formations...
Earlier on, sword discussion squads from various sects had pondered the idea of taking down Mo Hua by force right away.
Yet pursuing that approach would leave them unable to contain Linghu Xiao effectively.
Should Linghu Xiao break loose from any restrictions, he could wipe out their allies while they targeted Mo Hua.
Ultimately, even succeeding in eliminating Mo Hua would result in a net disadvantage for them.
Thus, it became essential for a sect squad to directly confront Linghu Xiao's Sword Qi and still have members available to aggressively dispatch Mo Hua.
This daunting task landed squarely on the shoulders of the "Vajra Sect".
The Vajra Sect stood as one of the Qianxue Eight Great Gates.
Disciples of this sect primarily honed body cultivation, passing down the Vajra Unbreakable Cultivation Technique, forging their physiques into something like tough copper hide and sturdy iron frames, resistant to swords and axes, safe from floods and flames.
Such a sect proved capable of enduring Linghu Xiao's Sword Qi while also offering partial resistance to Mo Hua's array spells.
Mo Hua now faced off against the Vajra Sect squad commanded by their "Big Senior Brother". This group, bolstered by the comprehensive Vajra Unbreakable Skill, had dominated the battlefield since the sword discussion kicked off, remaining victorious throughout.
In a way, this represented the most formidable opponent Mo Hua had met in the Xuan Character Bureau, and the squad that posed the greatest challenge to Taixu Gate.
Before this round of sword discussion even launched, numerous cultivators had assembled just outside the arena.
All of them showed up specifically for Mo Hua.
To put it more precisely, they arrived to observe the Vajra Sect's Big Senior Brother, a master of horizontal martial arts, as he ruthlessly pummeled Mo Hua, the brazen Junior Brother from Taixu Gate.
One person declared first, "I can't see how Taixu Gate could win this round." "Me either, that's why I came early to grab a good spot to watch this show...
"Normally, I don't dare to watch, afraid I'll die of rage from this brat Mo Hua..." "To be honest, last time, my brother from the Carefree Sect, my own brother, was played to 'death' by Mo Hua using low-level spells. A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated. Just thinking about it makes my blood boil, wishing I could step in and beat him myself...
"Using Fireball Technique every day to finish people off, do you think that's reasonable?"
"Shouldn't the prodigies from our Qian Learning State Boundary be respected?"
"'Killing' others is one thing, but even the Lu Fairy from Purple Mist Sect, he dares to harm?"
"Such a lady, graceful like a clear moon, blooming like spring flowers, misty like autumn waters, crystal-like winter snow, with such an extraordinary
hibiscus-like beauty, how could he raise his hand against her?"
"Still with the Fireball Technique?"
"Right to the face?"
"Without even blinking...
"I pride myself on understanding human nature. This boy is either insanely cruel, heartless beyond measure, or he's using his cold demeanor to catch Lu Fairy's attention, like a toad lusting for a swan, despicable and shameless!"
"I only regret having graduated already, unable to personally take the stage and slay Mo Hua to avenge Lu Fairy."
"Speaking of Lu Fairy...
"The Lu Family is truly wealthy, and Lu Fairy is truly beautiful..."
"I wonder who'll end up enjoying this sweet 'soft rice'!"
While conversations buzzed heatedly outside, a grand bell rang out from within.
The sword discussion commenced.
The five robust warriors from the Vajra Sect, guided by a colossal leader whose build rippled with muscle like forged from unbreakable vajra metal, exuded an intimidating aura.
That said, his face wasn't overly coarse but instead striking and serene, his gaze keen and piercing.
This individual served as the Big Senior Brother of the Vajra Sect, among the Eight Great Gates, bearing the surname Shi and the given name Tiangang.
The Shi family ranked as a prominent noble clan.
From childhood, Shi Tiangang displayed remarkable prowess, blessed with innate talents, excelling in body refinement as a genius. His base in body refinement and command of the Vajra Unbreakable skill outshone all others in the Vajra Sect.
With him at the helm, the Vajra Sect squad stayed undefeated.
For this particular sword discussion, Shi Tiangang aimed to swiftly eliminate Mo Hua.
For one, Mo Hua's spells carried an eerie unpredictability that demanded his removal.
The additional motive stemmed, of course, from Lu Zhenlong.
Lu Zhenlong had suffered deep humiliation from Mo Hua's Fireball Technique, seething with uncontrollable anger.
Dispatching Mo Hua would serve as a means to gain favor with Lu Zhenlong.
Shi Tiangang possessed a resolute mindset, not one easily tempted by fleeting desires; his actions centered chiefly on forging a marriage tie to advance his family's fortunes.
As body cultivators, the Shi family needed regular Marrow Cleansing, enhancements through resources, and a huge supply of Heaven and Earth
spiritual items to fuel their training.
Despite the Shi family's substantial clout, their ventures in Tao cultivation lagged, and they lacked skill in handling finances, leaving them far from prosperous.
In contrast, the Lu Family from Kun State thrived as a rich powerhouse, overflowing with Spirit Stones and Spiritual Objects stacked like endless peaks.
Should the Shi family link up with the Kun State Lu family through marriage, both sides would gain, fulfilling mutual requirements.
Acknowledged as a supreme prodigy since youth, Shi Tiangang carried a profound duty, aware that his cultivation progress relied on family backing and its provisions. Hence, anything advantageous to the family, he stood ready to pursue.
When it came to weddings, he weighed only the clans' strategic gains, with no room for his own wishes.
Offspring of most elite families rarely wed the ones they genuinely favored.
Lurking beneath lay ruthless, pragmatic dealings.
Naturally, Shi Tiangang conceded that Lu Zhenlong held real appeal.
She boasted not just fine looks but also noble lineage and innate gifts.
A youthful infatuation made perfect sense.
A girl like that, a touch arrogant and headstrong perhaps, yet with her stunning features, outstanding abilities, and elite heritage, who could resist admiring her?
As such, Mo Hua had to perish.
By claiming the first "kill" against Mo Hua in the Sword Discussion Conference, it
might open a favorable path.
In upcoming talks of union between the Shi and Lu families, this Sword Discussion Conference could provide useful bargaining power...
The signal for the sword discussion finally sounded, long anticipated.
This bout unfolded as a standard free-for-all skirmish.
Within the sword discussion arena, the five Vajra Sect members, towering like five mighty vajras, surged forward against Taixu Gate.
Of those, four leveraged their tough copper skin and iron bones to tangle with Linghu Xiao and his group up close.
The Vajra Sect's Vajra Unbreakable Skill, an elite body refinement spell,
allowed them to stand firm against Linghu Xiao's Sword Qi in direct clashes without immediate setbacks.
This edge belonged uniquely to the Vajra Sect.
And to demonstrate proper regard, their Big Senior Brother Shi Tiangang took it upon himself to personally "kill" Mo Hua.
In these times, the "well-versed in all techniques" Mo Hua merited such an honor.
As soon as the fight erupted, Mo Hua instantly sensed the vajra's intentions, spun around, and bolted silently, vanishing in a few swift moves into a nearby cluster of trees.
"He runs pretty fast..."
Shi Tiangang's eyes narrowed with chill, a mocking thought crossing his mind, before he unleashed his movement skill, blurring into a golden silhouette as he dashed into the woods.
Linghu Xiao and his teammates attempted to block Shi Tiangang, only to get tied up by the four massive Vajra Sect disciples.
These four giants invoked the Vajra Unbreakable Skill, enveloping themselves in Golden Armor,
their hides turning metallic too, where even the keen Chongxu Sword Qi could only scratch faint traces upon them.
Capturing them for real would demand an uncertain stretch of time and exertion.
Linghu Xiao's stare grew icy, yet he gritted his teeth and battled them with full intensity.
At the same time, Shi Tiangang pressed on toward the forest.
A burst of fire streaked through the sky, followed by several fireballs launching his way. But with his golden-gilded skin, immune to liquids and blazes, the fireballs merely sparked into fleeting flames and puffs of smoke on Shi
Tiangang's form, failing to singe his flesh even slightly.
Shortly, Water Prison Techniques assailed him, but they couldn't hold him for more than a moment.
Next came multiple Golden Blade Techniques and Water Jet Skills, none of which inflicted any damage whatsoever.
Brushing off these spells, Shi Tiangang marched straight into the woods.
Then, sweeping the surroundings with his Divine Sense, his eyes pierced like darts, shifting rightward to spot a frantic silhouette dashing further into the thicket.
Shi Tiangang smirked, balling his fists until they popped like bursting fireworks: "I'd like to see where you think you can run to?"
