C321 The Curse of Killing with a Single Finger!(2)
Woo Zhengyang took a step forward. The distance between him and Moh Lunhui was neither too long nor too short, just perfect for an Array Master. This distance made it impossible for Woo Zhengyang to advance or retreat easily. If he moved forward, he would be enveloped by the illusion array before even getting close to Moh Lunhui. Retreating wasn't an option either, as the array flags were swift and nimble. Unless Woo Zhengyang could push his speed to the extreme, like he did earlier with his right arm, he wouldn't be able to escape.
Such opportunities to unleash potential aren't easy to come by. So, Woo Zhengyang simply stopped in his tracks and stood his ground. Then, he took out a few red array flags and waved them into the air.
In an instant, golden and blood-red array flags surrounded Woo Zhengyang. Suddenly, he was engulfed by the illusion array, and a giant golden dragon roared, lunging at him with its mouth wide open.
Despite being trapped in the illusion array, Woo Zhengyang remained calm. Besides the illusion array controlled by Moh Lunhui, Woo Zhengyang had set up another illusion array around himself. If Moh Lunhui wanted to get close, he would have to break through Woo Zhengyang's array first. Moreover, if Moh Lunhui intended to attack Woo Zhengyang, he would either need to project his true energy like an expert at the Shape Gathering Stage or possess a unique archery skill like Loong Zhiwu.
If Woo Zhengyang truly possesses one of these skills, he’ll have to accept his fate. But if he doesn’t, then it’s a race to see who can break the array faster!
Although Zhengyang is an Array Master and once achieved the remarkable feat of using an illusion array to defeat twenty-five family heads in one strike, this is his first time trapped in someone else’s illusion array. Despite being the least dangerous and easiest to set up among killing arrays, its power is not to be underestimated.
Even knowing it’s an illusion array, you’ll still be affected. Close your eyes, and you’ll still feel the tearing of blades, the scorching of flames, the devouring of beasts—all vividly real. And after that, you’ll experience the sensation of death. If it gets to that point, you’re deeply trapped and in extreme danger!
So, even though Zhengyang knows the dragon lunging at him with its gaping maw is just an illusion, he must dodge quickly. Besides avoiding being drawn too deeply into the illusion, he must also be wary of Moh Lunhui using weapons like crossbows. Even without the exotic archery skills of Loong Zhiwu, if Zhengyang stands still, he’s just giving Moh Lunhui an opportunity.
As he continues to evade, Zhengyang takes out the Array Origin Bead. When it comes to breaking arrays, the Array Origin Bead is undoubtedly Zhengyang’s strongest asset, and he is confident in his abilities.
After a few breaths, Woo Zhengyang dodged the massive dragon, positioning himself strategically before driving a powerful punch into the ground.
"Boom..."
A golden triangular flag shattered under the force of Woo Zhengyang's "Tyrannical Mountain Shattering Fist." As the flag broke, the illusions that filled the sky vanished, revealing the landscape of the Heavenly Martial Realm. However, there was no sign of Moh Lunhui.
"Woo Zhengyang, you will meet your end at my hands!" Moh Lunhui's voice echoed from afar. Woo Zhengyang turned towards the sound, catching a glimpse of Moh Lunhui disappearing into the dense forest where he had first appeared.
He inspected his own flag, finding it intact. This meant Moh Lunhui hadn't entered the array nor used any weapons like a crossbow against Woo Zhengyang; he had simply fled. This surprised Woo Zhengyang.
Even though two of his fingers were broken, it wasn't a severe injury. Given Moh Lunhui's ruthless nature, it was unexpected for him to retreat so hastily. Could the rumors be true? Was Moh Lunhui only skilled in the "Reincarnation Finger" technique and nothing else?
Woo Zhengyang couldn't determine the truth and didn't have the inclination to try. He glanced at the jade plate in his hand, noting the red dot representing Moh Lunhui was rapidly moving away, soon disappearing from the plate's sensing range.
Woo Zhengyang considered pursuing him but, after a glance at Qian Banruo, decided against it.
With Qian Banruo's current injuries, anyone could easily defeat him. Everyone knows that Moh Lunhui's moves are lethal. Even though Qian Banruo knew he wasn't a match for Moh Lunhui, he still chose to fight, partly to test Woo Zhengyang's skills. This is why Woo Zhengyang didn't hesitate to give him a few spirit pills.
Now, with Qian Banruo severely injured, Woo Zhengyang couldn't just leave him behind. As for Moh Lunhui, as long as he remains in the Heavenly Martial Realm, the rules of the Heavenly Martial Dao Discussing Great Association ensure that they will meet again. Woo Zhengyang wasn't too worried about that.
With these thoughts, Woo Zhengyang gathered all the golden and crimson array flags from the ground. Although the two types of flags were different in color, they were similar in use, and the golden flags were of a higher grade than the crimson ones. Woo Zhengyang had lost quite a few flags, so acquiring these golden ones was a significant gain.
