Chapter 82

In the eyes of the disciples of the Lishui Sect, the command of the true disciple Chu Jun was like an imperial edict.

Upon hearing the command, Chai Lishan, who was somewhat embarrassed, stepped into the unique Dragon-Snake Steps of the Lishui Sect, turned his body, and shouted, "Form the array!"

Under Chai Lishan's lead, eight outer disciples of the Lishui Sect moved their feet in the Dragon-Snake Steps, running as if they were dragons lying and snakes crawling. In the blink of an eye, they had vaguely surrounded Ye Zhen.

"Small Lishui Dragon-Snake Array?"

On the stage, the white brows of the Grand Elder Lu Changchuan were tightly furrowed, his eyes filled with worry. This Small Lishui Dragon-Snake Array was not a true array, but rather a method of mutual cooperation and combat.

However, when used to deal with martial artists below the Spirit Induction Realm, its effect was significant.

Other high-ranking officials of the Qiyun Sect, including the First Prince Zhu Xuan, also showed a worried expression.

There was no other reason; the Lishui Dragon-Snake Array of the Lishui Sect was too famous.

A hundred years ago, the Lishui Sect rose to prominence with the Lishui Dragon-Snake Array.

The Lishui Dragon-Snake Array is divided into large and small arrays, especially the Small Lishui Dragon-Snake Array, which is a skill used by Lishui Sect disciples to protect their homes and travel the world.

The Small Lishui Dragon-Snake Array can be large or small, very flexible, with a minimum of three people to form an array, and a maximum of a hundred people. It is not only flexible but also has considerable power.

A Small Lishui Dragon-Snake Array with fewer than ten people is said to be invincible at the same level.

The Small Lishui Dragon-Snake Array requires a leader, and based on the cultivation of the leader, a small dragon-snake array with fewer than ten people, once formed, can sweep through the same level.

In fact, a Small Lishui Dragon-Snake Array close to ten people, once formed, can even deal with opponents of a higher level.

In other words, a Small Lishui Dragon-Snake Array led by Chai Lishan, whose cultivation reached the third level of True Essence, was an invincible existence at the same level of True Essence, and could even defeat opponents at the fourth level of True Essence.

For a moment, the inner and outer disciples of the Qiyun Sect, seeing Ye Zhen surrounded by the orderly Small Lishui Dragon-Snake Array, all showed worried expressions.

"Chai Lishan, what are you waiting for? Kill him! As soon as there's an opportunity, immediately slay Ye Zhen!" Chu Jun's ruthless voice echoed in Chai Lishan's ear.

"Form!"

Chai Lishan shouted fiercely, and the Lishui Sect disciples moved their feet in unison, like dragons rising from the land, heads and tails moving, with Chai Lishan as the leader, simultaneously attacking Ye Zhen.

Seeing the Small Lishui Dragon-Snake Array in motion, the eyes of Elder Lishi, Chu Jun, and the Third Prince Zhu Kun lit up with intense anticipation, staring at the martial arena.

At the same time, the high-ranking officials of the Qiyun Sect and thousands of inner and outer disciples of the Qiyun Sect held their breath, staring intently at the martial arena.

Looking at the nine Lishui Sect disciples, who moved like dragons lying and snakes crawling, approaching him, a hint of disdain flashed across Ye Zhen's lips, and his figure stood firm like a mountain.

Indeed, the Small Lishui Dragon-Snake Array looked powerful, with nine disciples, each with their own role, able to attack from all sides, making it impossible for the target to defend, and if it continued, the target would inevitably fall!

But that was based on the assumption that the cultivation levels were not too different.

At a glance, the other eight Lishui Sect disciples, whose cultivation was at the first level of True Essence, were not too far from Ye Zhen's third level of True Essence.

But cultivation does not represent combat power.

With Ye Zhen's extremely pure True Essence, his combat power rivaled that of a fifth-level True Essence cultivator.

More importantly, Ye Zhen possessed the True Essence Secret Skill, a powerful weapon!

Swoosh!

In an instant, the three Lishui Sect disciples at the tail of the Small Lishui Dragon-Snake Array simultaneously thrust their long swords at Ye Zhen's upper, middle, and lower sections. Chai Lishan, at the head of the array, turned his Dragon-Snake Steps and circled around to Ye Zhen's back, launching a fierce attack!

Whoosh!

The True Essence vortex in Ye Zhen's dantian trembled, and a vast amount of True Essence surged out, forming a layer of greenish-blue protective aura on his body. The sound of swords piercing Ye Zhen's body continued, but without exception, all the attacks were blocked by Ye Zhen's highly condensed protective aura.

Almost simultaneously, Ye Zhen turned fiercely, his figure moving like lightning, and he launched a Thunder Leopard Punch.

Boom!

Two streams of green True Essence collided fiercely.

Without a doubt, Ye Zhen's True Essence cut into Chai Lishan's body like a knife, and this time, Ye Zhen unleashed his full strength without any reservation.

Bang!

Chai Lishan was immediately struck as if by lightning, his body flying backward like a broken kite.

No one could have imagined that, under the four-sided attack, Ye Zhen could still fully deal with Chai Lishan.

The moment Chai Lishan was thrown back, Ye Zhen pounced like lightning, his left hand suddenly grabbing Chai Lishan's ankle as he was lifted into the air. Ye Zhen then used a Thousand-Pound Drop, causing his body to sink sharply.

The two forces intertwined, and Chai Lishan's body immediately spun back uncontrollably.

At that moment, Ye Zhen followed the momentum, his right hand forming a sword finger, and a sixteen-foot-long True Essence sword immediately sprang out. Since Ye Zhen's One Qi Mixed Essence Technique had broken through to the fifth level, and his protective aura could extend three feet from his body, the length of his True Essence sword had also increased to sixteen feet.

In a flash of light, Ye Zhen's sixteen-foot-long True Essence sword swept around.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Like slicing watermelons, the heads of the other eight Lishui Sect disciples, who had surrounded Ye Zhen with the Small Lishui Dragon-Snake Array, immediately flew into the air.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Eight fountains of blood, each about two meters high, suddenly spurted from the necks of the headless corpses, splattering the sky with blood!

Releasing his left hand, Ye Zhen let Chai Lishan's body fly out, and without even looking, he flicked a protective aura from his fingers, slicing through the air.

Chai Lishan's head immediately flew off.

Instantly, everyone was stunned!

Thousands of people in the martial arena, from top to bottom, were all stunned!

Despite the detailed description, all of this happened in the blink of an eye, just one or two breaths.

A moment ago, Lishi, Chu Jun, and even the Third Prince Zhu Kun were still hoping that the Small Lishui Dragon-Snake Array would achieve great success, but the next moment, nine large heads flew into the sky, and nine fountains of blood spurted from the martial arena.

The contrast was too great!

So great that even the Qiyun Sect members who were hoping for Ye Zhen's victory were taken aback.

The next moment, chaotic screams echoed throughout the martial arena.

Seeing the nine heads flying into the sky and the fountains of blood, the timid Qiyun Sect disciples, especially some of the female disciples, let out shrill screams, and some were even frightened to tears.

On the stage, the Third Prince's expression was stunned, his slightly leaning body slowly leaning back into his chair.

Below the stage, Chai Lishan's head, which had flown out, conveniently landed in Chu Jun's arms, immediately snapping Chu Jun out of his shock.

The entire sequence of events immediately became clear in Chu Jun's mind.

After Ye Zhen killed Li Yunchong, he did not use his full strength against Chai Lishan but instead deliberately provoked them, making all the other Lishui Sect disciples get on stage.

For this moment!

From the beginning, it was all Ye Zhen's plot!

Ye Zhen's plot to eliminate all the Lishui Sect disciples!

"Tricked again! Tricked again!" Chu Jun, who had realized this, felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and a deep sense of shame suddenly appeared on his face.

A violent surge of spiritual energy spread from Chu Jun's body, "Ye Zhen, ah... Ye Zhen, I will kill you!" he roared, his figure suddenly floating into the air, ready to attack Ye Zhen without hesitation.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Four piercing whistles suddenly shot from the sky, and four sword lights abruptly appeared around Chu Jun's head, pinning him down and preventing him from moving!

"Chu, if it weren't for the master's restraint, I would actually be very willing for you to rush onto the martial arena and attack Ye Zhen, and then I would have a legitimate reason to cut you down!" Liao Feibai's voice echoed from the air, making Chu Jun's face change repeatedly, and he obediently retracted his spiritual energy and landed on the ground.

Shocked by Liao Feibai's voice, Elder Lishi, who had almost fainted from the scene, suddenly shouted at Ye Zhen.

"Ye Zhen, tell me, how did you steal the Lishui Sect's True Essence Secret Skill, the True Essence Sword Finger?"

Below the stage, Chu Jun's eyes narrowed, suddenly realizing the true focus. The True Essence Secret Skill was one of the Lishui Sect's most closely guarded secrets, and even among the inner disciples of the Lishui Sect, only a few could learn it.

But now, Ye Zhen had learned it and was using the Lishui Sect's True Essence Secret Skill to slaughter the Lishui Sect's disciples.

Slap in the face!

This was absolutely a slap in the face!

"Ye Zhen, quickly, how did you steal the True Essence Sword Finger?"

Ye Zhen, covered in blood and exuding a fierce aura, gave Chu Jun a disdainful look, "I found it on the street. What, are you going to bite me?"

"You... " Chu Jun was speechless with anger.

But on the stage, Elder Lishi's expression became very serious.

"Ye Zhen, the True Essence Sword Finger is a closely guarded secret of our sect. You had better honestly confess, or I will hunt you down to the ends of the earth and kill you!" Elder Lishi said, each word heavy with threat.

The high-ranking officials of the Qiyun Sect all changed their expressions, and the sect master Guo Qijing suddenly stood up, his face stern, and his aura surging toward Elder Lishi, causing the sky to change color.

"Elder Lishi, are you representing the Lishui Sect in formally declaring war on our Qiyun Sect?" Sect Master Guo Qijing shouted sternly.

Sect Master Guo Qijing's words, though not heavy, were like thunder, making Elder Lishi and Chu Jun's faces turn pale. Elder Lishi quickly waved his hands.

"Sect Master Guo, you misunderstood, misunderstood. I didn't mean it, I absolutely didn't mean it."

But Sect Master Guo Qijing did not let Elder Lishi off, "Then what did you mean by saying you would hunt down and kill our sect's disciple Ye Zhen to the ends of the earth?"

Elder Lishi's face turned into a mess, almost on the verge of tears.

Declaring war on the Qiyun Sect would be like an old man hanging himself, wishing for a shorter life!

Although the Lishui Sect's strength had been catching up to the Qiyun Sect in recent years, the Qiyun Sect's foundation was not something the Lishui Sect, a new sect less than a hundred years old, could match.

If it weren't for the major event that happened decades ago, the Lishui Sect would never dare to challenge the Qiyun Sect.

"I... so many disciples died, Sect Master Guo, I was just momentarily agitated, momentarily agitated!" Elder Lishi wished he could rip out his heart to show Sect Master Guo Qijing.

"Hmph, fine, I'll consider it a momentary lapse!"

Sect Master Guo Qijing seemed to accept Elder Lishi's explanation, but just as Elder Lishi let out a sigh of relief, Sect Master Guo Qijing suddenly pointed at Chu Jun and shouted.

"Elder Lishi, I'll consider this a momentary lapse, but if anything happens to our sect's disciple Ye Zhen, I will hunt down and kill Chu Jun, no matter where he is, to set an example!"

Instantly, Chu Jun, surrounded by Liao Feibai's four sword lights, shivered with fear!
