C408 Mountain Protecting Array(2)

Woo Zhengyang didn't appear with them, but a new tower had emerged on a peak behind them.

"Let me introduce this tower," Nie Fengyu began. "It's called the Fallen Sun Tower, the prized possession of the Fallen Sun Sect. Woo Zhengyang uprooted it entirely. The tower stands seven stories high, and at its top is the Fallen Sun Pearl, its core, constantly emitting a red glow like the sunset—quite a sight, and also..."

"Enough!" interrupted the male expert at Martial King level, cutting Nie Fengyu off. If left unchecked, this guy might have gone on about the tower for half an hour.

By now, the two experts at Martial King level could clearly see that Nie Fengyu was stalling for time. Though they didn't know why, they weren't about to let him waste any more of it.

Exchanging a glance, the two experts reached a consensus.

"If you won't see reason, don't blame us for being ruthless!" declared the female expert, and both moved to attack.

Two nearly tangible Vital Spirit Giant Hands reached for Nie Fengyu and Uncle Fu...

Even at this moment, Woo Zhengyang still hadn't shown up, deepening everyone's suspicions. Had he really lost his strength, or had he already left?

Without Woo Zhengyang, who had repeatedly performed miracles, what chance did the Profound Heaven Sect have against these two Martial King experts?

In the end, Woo Zhengyang still didn't show up. However, everyone realized they had been overthinking it. When the two Vital Spirit Giant Hands reached out, Nie Fengyu and Uncle Fu simultaneously drew their weapons.

"Boom... Boom..."

The two Vital Spirit Giant Hands shattered at once, dissolving into specks of white light that vanished into the air.

Did they actually block it? Everyone was stunned. Could it be true, as Nie Fengyu claimed, that the Profound Heaven Sect had such good fortune, producing geniuses one after another?

"It's that Fallen Sun Tower!"

"This Fallen Sun Tower is just like the Ice Crystal Fire Hall, a treasure that can boost its owner's combat power!"

Someone noticed the difference in Nie Fengyu and Uncle Fu. As they made their move, a red beam connected them to the Fallen Sun Pearl at the top of the tower.

"Overestimating yourselves!"

The male Martial King expert scoffed, pulling out a crystal-clear longsword, while the female expert wielded a pair of jade rings. The sword's light shot skyward, slashing toward Nie Fengyu and Uncle Fu. The jade rings transformed into two dark, swirling whirlwinds, stirring the vital energy of heaven and earth, enveloping Nie Fengyu and Uncle Fu.

Their first move was a lethal strike. These two Martial King experts were more decisive than Liao Qinghua, as they had no ties to this area and fewer concerns. As the attacks closed in, Nie Fengyu and Uncle Fu also drew their weapons.

Behind them, the Fallen Sun Tower emitted two beams of red light, infusing into their bodies. The deadly whirlwind roared, with the clash of sword, blade, and spear echoes constantly reaching their ears.

A few breaths later, the light faded, revealing Nie Fengyu and Uncle Fu. Though they appeared exhausted, their bodies showed no signs of injury. Against the combined attack of two experts at the Martial King level, they managed to hold their ground.

While they didn't display the same composure as Woo Zhengyang did during his battle with Liao Qinghua, their feat was nonetheless astonishing. Everyone could see that the Fallen Sun Tower's support couldn't compare to Woo Zhengyang's Ice Crystal Fire Hall. Otherwise, it would have been renowned during its time in the Fallen Sun Sect.

With the tower's power, they could withstand the attack of one Martial King expert, but to fend off two simultaneously without injury was truly remarkable.

"Relying on your magical artifact, let's see how long you can last!" the male Martial King expert shouted as he attacked again.

Inside the Profound Heaven Sect, Woo Zhengyang was sprinting with all his might. Outside the mountain gate, radiant lights shot skyward, visible even from within the sect.

The simultaneous attack by two Martial King experts posed a severe challenge for Nie Fengyu and Uncle Fu. Woo Zhengyang wanted to help but was powerless. All he could do was quickly set up the mountain protecting array, ensuring the Profound Heaven Sect's invincibility.

The original mountain-protecting array had only eighteen bases, but Woo Zhengyang was setting up one with ninety-nine bases. Each base required a unique distribution of spirit crystals; otherwise, imbalances could lead to excessive consumption in some bases, making it impossible to maintain the array for long.

Initially, Woo Zhengyang found the task challenging, but as he completed each base, the blueprint of the entire array became clearer in his mind, and his pace quickened. In just thirty minutes, Woo Zhengyang finished setting up all the bases.

Without pausing, he dashed back to his quarters at Heavenly Death Peak. After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Woo Zhengyang connected the mountain-protecting array to the control mechanism.

Success or failure hinged on this moment. Filled with excitement, Woo Zhengyang activated the control mechanism for the array.

One breath...

Two breaths...

Three breaths...

During those three breaths, Woo Zhengyang didn't breathe at all, his eyes fixed on the array diagram beside the control mechanism. A point of light illuminated at the very center of the diagram...
