Chapter 147 - 99: Setting Up a Dharma Platform to Duel?

Chapter 147: Chapter 99: Setting Up a Dharma Platform to Duel?

Its immense power clearly surpassed that of a Mid Grade Magical Artifact.

"Activate the array!"

He spoke again, and within a radius of dozens of yards, nearly three hundred Blood Spirit Stones simultaneously bloomed with a crimson light.

The great, formless Array now finally revealed its true appearance.

Like panes of crystal-clear glass, it had long since sealed the area off completely.

"By our Master’s command, we set up this Dharma Platform to wait for you, but all we got was some skulking coward... Lin Shu of the Yu Family, is this how you earned back your glorious reputation? Through such despicable means?"

Grasping the Main Order, Lü Songting finally looked up in a rage, his voice cold. "This has been a real eye-opener."

His voice dripped with sarcasm.

Yet, the fact that he only dared to speak after making such thorough preparations showed he had lost all his earlier composure.

"Ha?!"

Hearing this, even Lu Yun stared over in disbelief.

Only now did he finally understand what this whole situation was about.

’Senior Brother Lin’s star has been rising lately, causing the Zhao Family of the Great Shun Dynasty to lose face.’

’So, an adult Immortal Descendant sent disciples to win that face back.’

’Having a Core Formation True Master make a move would be considered bullying.’

’Word getting out wouldn’t look good, so they sent first-rate young disciples from the Foundation Establishment Stage instead.’

’But the problem is... first, they spend three hundred Blood Spirit Stones to set up an Array designed to handle a Demon General.’

’Then they’re given all these Mid Grade Magical Artifacts, which become even more powerful when used in combination.’

’Not to mention this group aren’t even Trial Disciples, which is already cheating, but they’re also ganging up on him eight-to-one.’

’And to top it all off, they have the gall to call this ’setting up a Dharma Platform’?!’

"Everyone, with me! Even if we die, we have to block two of their Formulas for Senior Brother!"

Lu Yun roared. The Spiritual Power he had just recovered from the Crimson Heart Pill instantly transformed into a flash of sword light, and the other disciples quickly followed.

However, before he could finish his roar, he felt a slap on the back of his head.

"Still not done, are you?"

Lin Shu glanced at the Red Face Cultivator.

’I may be more well-off recently, but Crimson Heart Pills aren’t cheap. Tricking me out of two of them wasn’t enough, I see.’

"Hurry and take them back."

"Ah... oh."

Lu Yun dazedly rubbed the back of his head, then looked at the curtain of light before them.

He didn’t ask, but his meaning was obvious.

’These tangible, glass-like barriers are nothing like the ones before.’

’Even if we wanted to leave, how could we possibly get away?’

"Summon the tiger soul! Leave none alive!"

Since the Array and the Magical Artifacts were specially prepared by his Master, they naturally worked in tandem, and they were designed specifically to deal with Body Tempering Cultivators.

Repeatedly ignored, Lü Songting felt his eye twitch. He finally decided to stop holding back.

He stuffed a handful of Crimson Heart Pills into his mouth.

As the master of the Array, his own power consumption was immense. According to their plan, the eight White Tiger Jade Orders should have been controlled by his junior brothers.

But now, Lü Songting had forcibly seized control of the Magical Artifacts himself.

Seven Jade Orders shot into the air, each unleashing a ray of white light that quickly merged into a glowing orb.

ROAR!

It was accompanied by a heart-stopping tiger’s roar.

A giant beast, dozens of feet tall, slowly appeared. Its back was arched high, its body covered in stripes, and its presence sent the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi into a frenzy.

Then, the Spirit Tiger swiftly seeped into the crystalline barrier.

Ferocious eyes emerged in unison from every pane of the barrier.

"Come on! This Array was set up specifically for a Body Tempering Cultivator like you."

Lü Songting took a deep breath and sneered, "Forget a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator. Even if you were a Core Formation True Master, just try walking out of here today. I’d love to see it."

No matter how strong the Array was, it couldn’t possibly pose a real threat to a Core Formation Cultivator.

But he wasn’t just bluffing.

Body Tempering Cultivators were most vulnerable to profound techniques like these.

The combination of the Magical Artifacts and the Array provided both offense and defense.

Fueled by the Blood Spirit Stones, the crystalline barrier could regenerate endlessly.

Even against a senior who practiced a Core Formation Body Refining Technique, it could trap them for some time.

Today, he would use this Array to toy with the young man until he was dead.

ROAR!

Inside the Array, countless tiger eyes stared from all directions, seemingly ready to pounce at any moment.

The Chen Family disciples instinctively huddled together.

Lu Yun swallowed hard, inwardly cursing, ’Shameless!’

’No matter how many merits a Trial Disciple earned, they could never dream of exchanging them for Treasures like these!’

Just then, a crackling sound reached his ears.

Everyone instinctively turned to look.

They saw Lin Shu casually raise his palm, a thread of heart-stopping energy quietly emerging from his fingertips.

It was a fear etched into the very bones of every Cultivator.

A purplish-black Thunder Arc gathered, bursting with a blinding light. It was clearly a Thunder Technique, yet it carried an otherworldly chill.

In an instant, accompanied by a dull clap of thunder, the arc of light shot forth like a swift arrow.

CRACK! CRACK!

The dense, layered crystalline barrier was like a celestial canopy.

But the moment the Miasma Thunder passed, their surfaces were covered in cracks before shattering in perfect unison.

As if the heavens themselves were collapsing, it dissolved into motes of shattered light.

The hundreds of Blood Spirit Stones on the ground suddenly lost their luster, turning into common stones.

The rumble of thunder slowly faded.

The area was once again open and empty.

"Go."

Lin Shu released his Finger Formulas and gave a slight nod.

"Uh!"

Lu Yun and the others’ minds went blank. It took them a long time to recover from the blinding flash of lightning.

’To use a Thunder Technique with only a Foundation Establishment Cultivation...’

’That was something only a specially trained Mountain Master Disciple from an Immortal Family renowned for its Thunder Techniques should be able to do.’

’But Senior Brother Lin obviously didn’t belong to that category.’

’He also knew a Body Tempering Technique and a Light Body Technique... and none of his skills came from the same school.’

’That was a foolish path only a desperate Loose Cultivator would take.’

’But what if he had mastered every single one?’

The many Chen Family disciples suddenly felt their mouths go dry.
