Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2230 Chapter 1036: Traitor (2)

This form of "melee" combat adheres to certain "rules" and gets separated by "rank".

The feeble ones get eliminated first.

Lower-ranked sects are the initial ones to depart from the battlefield.

Such a strategy stems from the ancient traditions of the Asura battle.

Moreover, this elimination process adheres to the "one sword" guideline.

Prodigies from every prominent sect guide their followers to purge the area, and upon facing disciples from inferior sects who are comparatively feeble, they deliver a single "one sword" strike.

Just a single sword strike.

Should the foe endure it, they earn the right to remain and persist in the confrontation.

Should they fail to endure, they must exit the battlefield without delay.

This process weeds out the feeble.

It likewise averts the powerful from diving into fatal battles prematurely, which might let the feeble exploit the disorder, turning it into "a farce".

In a way, it reinforces the established rankings of each sect.

Eliminating foes based on preset rankings ensures that the sword discussion rankings do not stray too far from norms.

Every sect, even the four supreme ones, quietly endorses this regulation.

Such a rule proves vital for the entire sect sword discussion.

Not even the four mighty sects will haughtily defy it, steering clear of needless uncertainties.

Therefore, the Asura battle reveals its savage essence right away, kicking off the initial phase of straightforward "butchery".

Amidst the peaks, across the streams, within the marshes.

Swords gleam, incantations fly, and blows from fists and kicks collide.

Yet everything remains mere testing, pulling back once contact occurs.

Upon meeting the feeble, they swiftly claim their lives without mercy.

Upon clashing with the mighty, they halt precisely and end their assault.

Before long, across the entire Asura battleground, followers from inferior sects and those lacking proper power got utterly removed.

Nevertheless, certain individuals who weren't truly feeble ended up dragged into peril due to specific figures.

A few disciples versed in the concealment technique attempted to vanish employing their arts.

It benefited them if they managed to endure a while more, secure a superior position, and gather extra merits.

Previously, this approach held some merit.

However, at present, it proves entirely futile.

For Mo Hua excelled far too much in concealment.

Consequently, every prominent sect focused intensely on "concealment" arts, aiming to slay Mo Hua.

They devised plenty of counters tailored against Mo Hua's hiding methods.

Mo Hua had trapped himself in a bind.

These folks found themselves without any escape.

Disciples attempting to conceal, be it through techniques or spiritual artifacts, paled in comparison to Mo Hua's prowess.

They failed to remain "hidden" for extended periods before detection led to a fatal sword strike.

Furthermore, the concealment technique sparked immense resentment.

For various sect prodigies, having been "toyed" with by Mo Hua's concealment art, felt deep shame and refused to allow others to hide before them.

Shi Tiangang stood out particularly.

Witnessing anyone hide in his sight enraged him utterly.

"Out of everyone, you mimic Mo Hua?"

During the Asura battle, he targeted hidden cultivators with deliberate intent.

Besides, those skilled in movement techniques faced misfortune on account of Mo Hua.

Ever since Feng Zichen of the Carefree Sect nearly twisted his wrist while crafting sword blossoms into snowflakes, failing to even nick Mo Hua's garment edge, he developed an intolerance for any display of movement arts around him.

In the Asura battle, should disciples from lesser sects fairly face him with one sword, Feng Zichen would overlook it.

Yet if you fled employing movement techniques directly before Feng Zichen.

You'd strike his raw nerve right away.

He'd pursue relentlessly, hunting you to the world's corners until death.

Regarding the Fireball Technique, needless to mention.

The Fireball Technique has evolved into a standard "forbidden technique" at

the Sword Discussion Conference.

Barring Mo Hua, every disciple faces a strict ban on its use.

Particularly within the Asura battle.

Whoever heedlessly hurls a fireball turns into an immediate mark,

falling to a horde of furious cultivators slashing them down.

As they slash, they bellow:

"How dare you employ the Fireball Technique!"

"You think you're so great?"

"I absolutely hate the Fireball Technique!"

Throughout the initial elimination round, Mo Hua made no showing.

Still, his presence loomed over every corner.

Hence, following this swift massacre and "filtering", after two hours, the opening phase of "clearing" wrapped up.

The feeble and those echoing Mo Hua's style all got ousted.

Disciples from the Qian Learning Hundred Gates faced near-total annihilation.

Plenty from the lower Twelve Streams got removed.

The Eight Great Gates suffered minimal losses.

The Four Great Sects stayed entirely intact.

Now, a fresh dilemma emerged:

Persist in hunting Mo Hua?

Or press on with the contest?

Leaders among the prodigies from each sect pondered quietly within.

Ye Qingfeng of the Daluo Sect declared:

"I propose that all sects halt their clashes and, no matter what, prioritize slaying Mo Hua first."

"Once Mo Hua perishes, we may settle our supremacy among one another."

"Remember, this Mo Hua poses a massive concealed danger."

"Though his cultivation seems trivial, he masters concealment and excels beyond compare in movement; within this vast field, he glides effortlessly like a fish in water. Unless we band together to eliminate him upfront and permit him to 'endure' until the close, we

shall find him impossible to handle."

The Daluo Sect boasts two prodigies.

One honed the Daluo Flying Sword Skill yet fell to Mo Hua's sword,

triggering his dramatic downfall—Qian Learning's once-top sword control

prodigy, Ye Zhiyuan.

The other being Ye Qingfeng, cultivator of the Daluo Unification Sword Skill.

Ye Qingfeng possesses a lofty stature and striking features, backed by profound cultivation, yet the Unification Sword Skill curbs his presence, keeping it subdued and unassuming. Nonetheless, experts recognize Ye Qingfeng's power as immensely potent, nearly topping those below the four supreme prodigies.

Moreover, akin to Ye Zhiyuan, he ranks as a "seed" prodigy brimming with the Daluo Ancestor's expectations, inscribed with the unique Eternal Life Rune.
