Chapter 1255A – Array Spirit Duplication

…

Flatrock immediately laughed. “Great. From here on out, junior-apprentice brother is one of us.” This was a sign that Qin Yu had agreed. Sounds of hearty laughter immediately rang out from all around.

First off, they didn’t need to personally do anything. This was definitely a good thing.

Secondly, a new ruthless man named Qin Yu had arrived at the Peach Garden. Today, they would use another man surnamed Qin to kill a disciple of the Peach Garden. Just thinking about it was interesting.

Mm, Qin…hehe…not bad!

As peals of laughter rang around him, Qin Yu also laughed, a bit forced.

But in his heart, he wasn’t laughing at all. With Old Turtle here, he knew exactly what these bastards spoke about.

The crucial step they wanted him to handle was in order to avoid contaminating themselves with the karma of this plot. This was a good plan and it also saved him a good deal of effort.

Laugh, keep on laughing. Laugh your fill now, because you’ll be crying in the future.

After all, in Qin Yu’s eyes, it was inhumane to make people feel fear and grief and yet leave them unable to cry.

So, he could still be considered a good person with a relatively soft heart.

After determining that Qin Yu would do it, the crowd had a brief discussion before everyone dispersed.

It seemed that in order to avoid any mistakes that might happen at the last moment, Flatrock and Dragon Peak didn’t participate. Instead, they stayed with Qin Yu and gave him words of comfort, promising him a share of the rewards large enough that it would leave anyone drooling. But, the truth was that they were just keeping an eye on him.

Qin Yu put on an appearance that he was being tempted and choked with emotions, comparing his acting skills with these two people along the way. But his eyes didn’t idle around. He glanced around and approximately deduced what they were planning.

Cough cough, saying this was a bit boastful. In truth, it was what Old Turtle told him after looking around.

These bastards were setting up an array formation, and it was an extremely cruel, evil, and terrifying battle array formation. They were borrowing the power of the Lost Garden. If he didn’t know and fell into this array formation, even he would be in danger.

It was no wonder they dared to have ideas of messing with a disciple from the Peach Garden. It was because they had this card in hand. But now that he had seen through it and they wanted Qin Yu to do it…hehe, these bastards were cautious and probably made arrangements to deal with him if he suddenly decided to not be cooperative.

But after listening to Old Turtle say a few words, Qin Yu’s heart calmed down. He looked at Flatrock in front of him, who was gently smiling. If this man knew that his card was destined to be useless, what sort of expression would he have? It would certainly be interesting.

Qin Yu wasn’t in a hurry. When the time came, he would be able to fully appreciate it.

The great array formation was finally completed. Everyone began to leave the stage and display their own methods to conceal their auras.

At this point, Qin Yu saw the background of those that followed Saints. Even if he didn’t really like or care about these people much.

Cough cough…that’s right, he was a bit full of himself right now.

After being named a Dual Saint Slayer and being acknowledged by the Spring Master as a part of the four-and-a-half squad whose goal would be the Ruler boundary, it was impossible to say that his mindset hadn’t changed at all.

However, what he saw gave him a warning, because these bastards had surprisingly exquisite methods to hide themselves.

If it weren’t for Old Turtle, he simply wouldn’t have been able to discover them. Although they borrowed some of the power of the array formation, this in itself was sufficiently startling.

Because if he were to look at things from another aspect, if he was the one being plotted against today and he didn’t have Old Turtle’s help, there was a 99% chance he would have fallen for it.

He certainly couldn’t underestimate a group of people who had the skills to have him fall into a trap…Qin Yu’s inflated ego quietly deflated.

Flatrock took out a jade slip and probed it with his divine sense. Then, he took a deep breath, a sharp light exploding in his eyes. He looked at Qin Yu and said, “He’s here!”

Such a great and magnificent scene with so many people participating, just who could the target be? Qin Yu looked up into the distance.

Several breaths of time later, there was the sound of breaking air. Then, a few vague words entered his ears. Just hearing this was enough for Qin Yu to come to the conclusion that he had been mistaken before. The target was actually that man.

Shua –

Shua –

Two figures entered his field of vision. One of them wore white clothing that appeared as pure as snow, without a single speck of dust touching it. His expression was faint and indifferent. It was the Peach Garden’s third senior-apprentice brother – White Phoenix!

At this moment, he furrowed his eyebrows and looked at the man to his side. “You said it was here?”

Standing next to him was another cultivator. He had ordinary features but his eyes were bright and wide, making him seem much livelier. The man nodded and said, “Third Mister, please don’t worry. If I wasn’t sure, I wouldn’t have told you.”

Then, fluctuations spread out from up ahead. The man lit up with joy. “Third Mister, there it is!”

As the man spoke he rushed forward.

A mass of straw mushrooms on the ground suddenly shattered with a pop. Smoke flashed as it transformed into a white rabbit.

The rabbit’s speed was astonishing. It was like a bolt of white lightning, even faster than the man rushing at it.

“Third Mister, please hurry! It’s about to escape!”

White Phoenix frowned. He felt something strange about this place. But the Lost Garden was always like this. Treasures and dangers existed hand in hand.

This thing would certainly be helpful for junior-apprentice sister Peachy’s injury.

With this thought in mind, he no longer hesitated. He stepped forward and pressed his hands down.

Bang –

The void rumbled and a giant hand appeared. Like gods and demons taking action from the heavens, it instantly locked onto the aura of the white rabbit fleeing on the ground. The white rabbit suddenly raised its head, a frightened expression on its face. But, its red eyes were calm and steady.

White Phoenix’s heart throbbed and he slammed his feet into the ground. His response was extremely fast. But just as he started to retreat, he came to another abrupt stop.

Because the battle array formation had begun to move!

If an array formation could be called ‘extremely fierce’ by Old Turtle, then it naturally wasn’t something common. White Phoenix had a noble bloodline and a keen intuition. As he instantly determined his own situation, his face darkened to the point of dripping water.

He had fallen into a trap!

At the East Sea it had been junior-apprentice sister Peachy, and now in the Lost Garden, it was him. It seemed that for these past years, the Peach Garden had been too quiet, so quiet that many people forgot what the Peach Garden used to be like in the past.

This was also good. Today, he would use the blood of these people to awaken their forgotten memories.

Recently, he had been feeling sad and depressed but had no place to vent his emotions, thus he could only withstand them by himself. As a result, he was in a very bad mood.

So after determining that he had fallen into a trap, while he was furious he was also excited. He finally had a chance to vent his anger!

As the descendant of a peak ancient bloodline, no matter how gentle and refined his behavior was, he couldn’t completely abandon the cruelty and brutality etched into his bones.

But soon, White Phoenix, whose eyes were beginning to flash with the color of blood, discovered to his own helplessness that his opponent was the array formation itself.

He wanted to kill people but couldn’t even find their shadow. This was undoubtedly a sad thing.

Moreover, what left White Phoenix even more restless was that he discovered that as time passed, the array formation grew increasingly strong.

This clearly wasn’t normal!

When he made a move before, he had caused damage to the array formation. There was no way he mistook that. If the array formation didn’t weaken but grew stronger instead, there had to be something strange happening with it.

He couldn’t stay here.

White Phoenix lifted a hand and pressed forward. The temperature in the air drastically fell as a white pall covered the surrounding space.

Kacha –

Kacha –

Cracking sounds filled the air as the frozen space started to shatter.

White Phoenix took a step out.

But the moment he entered, a dull ringing came from the shattered space. White Phoenix was sent flying backwards. His face was pale with shock and anger. There was a fist mark on his chest. The mark was pitch black, contrasting sharply with his white clothes. Just looking at the mark left a chill in one’s heart.

A moment later, a figure stepped out from the shattered space. It was another White Phoenix!

Their auras and appearance were completely the same. The only difference was that this other White Phoenix wore clothes as black as the night and his eyes were flooded with killing intent.

“Array spirit!” White Phoenix sucked in a deep breath, his eyes becoming increasingly dignified. He understood how difficult it was to condense an array spirit. In particular, this was an array spirit that completely duplicated him…today’s killing plot wasn’t simple at all!

It seemed that before the Lost Garden opened, some people had made up their mind to kill a Peach Garden disciple.

At this moment, White Phoenix felt a bit of regret. If he hadn’t been stubborn and insisted on travelling separately from elder senior-apprentice brother and Lei Xiaoyu, then perhaps this would never have happened.

After all, there was probably no one in the Lost Garden who had the courage to plot against elder senior-apprentice brother!

But this thought was fleeting. With things having come this far, regret was useless.

It seemed he had to go all-out today!

With his thoughts decided, White Phoenix’s eyes erupted with light. A loud cry filled the air as a giant phoenix suddenly appeared above his head. The phoenix launched its wings outwards. Each feather was white and glistened like fresh snow, without a single impurity.

As the phoenix appeared, the temperature in the air began to fall even further. Pieces of white ice formed and started to slowly fall to the ground.

Kacha –

Kacha –

Each piece of ice that touched the ground released a terrifyingly low temperature, causing the earth to freeze solid into a layer of ice.

The phoenix’s gaze was like lightning. It glared at the black-clothed White Phoenix. As if sensing something, its eyes flooded with anger.

As a peak ancient life form that once ruled this world, although it had fallen, it still did not allow its dignity to be provoked.

The array spirit had duplicated White Phoenix. It had the same aura and strength, and this offended what the ancient life forms valued the most – the nobility and purity of their bloodline.

There was another keening cry. The ice that fell between the heavens and earth came to a pause. Then, it all roared out. The speed was so fast that before one could catch their trajectory, they had already struck the black-clothed White Phoenix.

But when the ice shards approached the black-clothed White Phoenix, they unexpectedly wavered and came to a trembling stop.

The phoenix screamed in rage!
