Chapter 28

Endless golden light surged out from the magnificent golden-robed woman, radiating a mighty aura that illuminated every dark corner of the cave entrance.

Rumble!

The boulder exploded, the cave entrance collapsed, and debris flew everywhere.

In less than a breath, the dark night array set up by Jun Wuming was instantly destroyed by the golden light. The black-robed youth, who was advancing deep into the cave, immediately stiffened, a疯狂的神色在眼中闪过，冷哼道：“招待不周，再给你上一道大餐！”

He suddenly stopped, took out various materials glowing with different spiritual lights from his body, and arranged them according to the principles of the Four Symbols and Eight Trigrams, forming a grand array, the Kan Water Array! This array used a small section of green peach spiritual wood as a guide to draw in the power of the four directions' water, creating a continuous and swirling force. Once trapped in this array, it would be difficult to escape due to the water's pull.

As the grand array was completed, four dark blue lights intersected to form a hidden grand array. The blue light flashed and instantly disappeared!

Looking at the array in front of him, he was somewhat satisfied, but a hint of pain flashed in his eyes. The materials used to set up this grand array were a significant loss for the current Jun Wuming.

The green peach spiritual wood, purple wave flower, and thick earth stone were all painstakingly accumulated by Jun Wuming. Clenching his teeth, he thought about the four essentials of cultivation—wealth, companions, methods, and land. Now, Jun Wuming had none of them, and he felt a deep hatred and frustration.

Hesitating for a moment, he waved his arm, and a pure black light flashed and disappeared into the cave wall. He chuckled and continued forward. The cave was interconnected and the terrain similar, making it difficult to find someone, even for a cultivator.

Quickening his pace, the man and two snakes transformed into a black wind, fleeing like a whirlwind.

The golden-robed woman looked at the black-robed youth fleeing in the mirror, gently touching her forehead. There was no need to escape so quickly; he was being too cautious.

Her face stern, she swept her arm, using the pure yang light from the pure yang peony to destroy these dark traps.

These small traps could only cause minor troubles, but their sheer number, when triggered in succession, became a significant problem.

Bang!

Cold light splashed!

Her hand lifted slightly, and a black flying dart was instantly destroyed. Annoyance flashed in her eyes. The golden peony was truly tired of this. She decided to no longer hold back.

The light from the jade-colored sword in her hand surged, and she swung her arm like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves, forming a ten-foot-long sword beam. "Slay the Heavens and Earth!" she shouted fiercely.

Lifting her body, the sword qi transformed into a storm, fiercely striking. It was like a torrential downpour, instantly falling.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Golden light violently swept, and wherever it passed, the black light flickered, and the obstructing arrays were crushed into nothingness. The rocks instantly turned to powder, falling and forming a massive dust storm that enveloped the black night.

Inside the cave, the "rumble" sound intensified, and the extremely hard stone walls were split like tofu by a towering jade sword.

Jun Wuming, looking at the rapidly approaching killing sword light, smiled coldly. Want to catch me? It's not that easy.

He stopped, stepped in a specific pattern, and the dark light in his hand swirled like a black dragon. He cast various spiritual seals, and a grand silver light was instantly drawn from the sky. At the same time, seven towering water pillars instantly surged from the ground, transforming into seven green ice pillars.

A vast killing intent arose, forming seven black flying snakes. The seven ice pillars automatically absorbed the killing intent, creating a grand array to lock the cave.

"Seven Seas Absolute Array. Activate!"

Seeing the killing array set up and the grand array formed, Jun Wuming's figure turned into a stream of light and entered the array's eye. A cold light flashed in his eyes.

"First move, trap!"

The golden peony, facing the overwhelming killing intent, remained calm. Her phoenix eyes flickered, a hint of killing intent revealed, and the golden light on her golden feather robe reflected brightly. She said with disdain, "Little Daoist!"

Her face slightly cold, she huffed. With a wave of her sleeve, boundless killing intent gathered, transforming into a swirling vortex of water qi that swept toward the golden peony.

The wild and fierce force stirred the sky and clouds, the cold air piercing through the clouds, and the overwhelming killing intent surged toward the golden peony in the corner of the open cave.

The golden peony, looking at the rapidly spinning vortex, narrowed her phoenix eyes.

"Ten Thousand Swords Slay!"

Her hand moved slightly, and golden sword beams instantly shot out from her palm.

Powerful sword qi shot out like a storm, and ten thousand powerful sword beams burst forth like a rain of pear blossoms, reflecting in the sky, and she slashed down in one breath.

"Zzzt, zzzt, zzzt"

A golden and a blue light collided, the shockwave like a wild wind, uprooting the surrounding trees.

"Whoosh!"

The golden sword qi, like a golden lightning bolt in the darkness, instantly pierced through the void, destroying the blue vortex. The powerful force continued to slash toward the seven ice pillars, undiminished.

"Bang, bang, bang"

Golden light splashed, sparks flying in all directions. The seven ice pillars, after enduring the attack, ultimately could not be instantly shattered due to the insufficient force of the sword qi.

Jun Wuming's figure rapidly retreated, his heart filled with fear. This woman's cultivation far exceeded his expectations. The water qi in his hand slowly calmed the fierce sword qi.

"Again, Annihilation Ice Needles!"

The chaotic water qi stirred the boundless killing intent, transforming into countless ice needles. The deep blue light shone like a fine rain or a thunderbolt, instantly enveloping the golden peony's entire body.

Looking at the ice needles, her gaze focused, but a disdainful smile appeared on her lips. Her sword moved like the wind, transforming into a golden rainbow, and boundless sword qi surged, forming a massive energy sphere.

With just a turn and a drag of the sword, the ice needles instantly dissipated. The golden spiritual light surged again, dragging out a several-zhang-long sword beam, directly slashing toward the array's eye.

His face changed, his heart sinking. His figure flew like lightning, narrowly avoiding the jade-colored sword beam.

"Boom"

Jun Wuming turned and saw a towering ice pillar struck by the golden sword qi, breaking in half. He gritted his teeth in anger.

In a fit of rage, Jun Wuming no longer held back. Black light swirled in his palm, condensing into a ball, and he struck the array's eye with a fierce blow.

Bang!

Water droplets splashed, like a geyser shooting from the ground. The sound was like a thunderclap, shaking the surroundings.

Infinite underground river water shot out, the seven ice pillars instantly dissolving. Streams of water erupted from the ice pillars.

Rumble!

The entire Seven Seas Absolute Array was violently shaken, like the end of the world. Blue water flowers flew everywhere, the killing intent of the array dissipated, and the ice pillars no longer maintained their sealing power.

Seeing this, the golden peony instantly transformed into a golden light, flying into the sky, escaping the array's suppression. At the same time, her sword qi transformed into a powerful beam, slashing toward the array's eye.

Jun Wuming chuckled and instantly transformed into a black light, diving into the ground, disappearing in a flash.

At the same time, the underground river water that shot out was instantly frozen into black ice, covering the original cave with a thick layer of black frost.

A hint of annoyance flashed in her eyes, and the golden peony's beautiful brows furrowed. She realized that the boy was escaping again.

A flash of light from her jade-colored mirror showed that the underground was a vast ocean, and the upper cave entrance was also covered with a thick layer of black ice. The cunning black-robed boy had already fled through the water.

She huffed, and several sword beams shot out from her sleeves.

"Clang, clang!"

The sword beams struck the ice, and jade fragments flew, producing a metallic sound.

A spark of fire shot from her eyes, and the golden peony's feather robe fluttered, her graceful figure like a flame, her eyes filled with extreme anger.

"How dare he!"

After a moment's thought, a red thunderball appeared in her hand, and she threw it with a wave of her sleeve. A deafening explosion shattered a hundred meters of ice, and a geyser shot out, sprinkling water everywhere. The golden figure instantly landed, passing through the water curtain and chasing after the boy.

Such a loud noise naturally did not escape the notice of Jun Wuming, who was underwater. He was secretly alarmed, thinking how powerful this woman was. He was secretly relieved that she had not used this thunder technique to ambush him when he was fleeing earlier, or he would have been paralyzed or worse. He did not know that the woman was determined to capture him alive.

While fleeing for his life, he sensed that the woman was still chasing him closely. However, he was confident in the water.

Swimming rapidly along the underwater tunnel, the black water flag in his abdomen emitted a faint light, slowly absorbing the abundant water qi to restore his depleted magical power.

The underground was deep, and the river system was abundant. The clear river water gushed out continuously from the underground river system. Before facing the golden-robed woman, Jun Wuming had instructed the giant python to dig through the underground river to create an escape route.

Passing through several water channels, Jun Wuming quickly reached the entrance of the underground river. The giant python was already waiting.

"Stupid snake, go first!"

Jun Wuming sent a mental command, instructing the giant python to find its own way to safety and avoid the pursuit, planning to reunite with it later.

He then waved his hand, shooting a cold aura into the gushing spring, chuckled, and fled again.

Soon, the golden peony arrived, but her face was black like charcoal, looking somewhat disheveled.

The golden peony was almost fuming with anger. This despicable thief was too cunning, not only setting up traps but also poisoning her!

She had been careless in her pursuit and was unexpectedly poisoned by the black, highly toxic river water. Her body was now black as ink, and a foul smell slowly emanated from her, making her feel extremely nauseous.

Furious, her face as black as a ball, the golden peony was determined to no longer hold back and to slice the despicable thief into pieces!

A golden light flashed, and she chased after the figure. However, what made her feel both strange and angry was that she could not catch up to the thief in the water. Despite her magical power being several times stronger and her cultivation level higher, she just could not catch up.

Frustrated, she stopped, deciding to remove the poison before continuing. She gathered her magical power, using the golden light from the blooming peony to gradually purify the remaining poison in her body.

Soon, black gas was expelled from her body, entering the water. Her eyes flashed with a cold light, and her robe trembled, a foot-long golden light bursting from her body, her powerful magical power rippling out.

Swish, swish!

Her powerful magical power instantly broke through the water surface, and she followed the trail again.

"Thief, if I don't slice you into pieces, I swear I won't be human!"
