Chapter 147: Chapter 147: The Might of the Sword Array

"Test the array?"

Hearing Jiang Chen ask if he wanted to test the array’s power, Jiang Han waved his hand.

"Never mind. I know I can break this Sword Array."

Before the words had even left his mouth, Xiao Yun stepped forward.

"I’ll test it."

Xiao Yun’s current Cultivation was at the Martial Master Third Heaven.

Seeing the Sword Array, she was suddenly eager to try.

It was rare for Jiang Chen to see his mother in action, so he looked toward his father.

Jiang Han looked back at Jiang Chen.

He frowned slightly. "Son, I’m afraid your mother won’t be able to withstand this Sword Array. Let’s just forget it."

He was worried his wife would be injured by the Sword Array.

But Xiao Yun would have none of it.

She retorted directly, "This is my business. I don’t need you meddling. Son, activate the Sword Array at full power. I’ll test it. I refuse to believe I can’t break your Sword Array."

"Don’t underestimate me."

Xiao Yun was provoked and utterly unconvinced by Jiang Chen’s Sword Array.

After all, the ones operating the Sword Array were merely a few Martial Artists.

In her eyes, although the Sword Array looked formidable, she wasn’t the least bit impressed.

At the same time, she shot her husband, Jiang Han, a harsh glare.

"I was just trying to look out for you, you woman..."

Jiang Han felt his concern had been completely wasted; his wife didn’t appreciate it at all.

He was so angry he could only glare, fuming.

Jiang Chen, however, said quietly, "Dad, if Mom wants to test it, just let her. You have the Heart Control Pill now. You can stop it whenever you say, so Mom won’t get hurt."

"I also have a Technique here specifically for controlling the Sword Array. Dad, memorize it. Once the Sword Array is formed, you’ll be able to control it at will."

"This array is called the Infinite Sword Array."

Hearing Jiang Chen’s words, Jiang Han’s eyes lit up.

He finally understood that he could control these Death Warriors.

He memorized the Technique Jiang Chen passed to him for controlling the Sword Array.

"Activate the array."

Xiao Yun shouted lightly.

She had already flown forward, a sword appearing in her hand.

Xiao Yun was no weak woman. It was only because Jiang Han was the Patriarch that, as his wife, she rarely made public appearances for the family.

But everyone knew how formidable Xiao Yun was.

Jiang Han was clearly helpless. His wife was usually gentle, but she had a stubborn streak deep down.

He could now control the Death Warriors.

He decided not to overthink it.

"Infinite Sword Array, activate!"

Jiang Han yelled.

The moment his voice fell, a murderous aura shot from the eyes of all forty Death Warriors.

Individually, their killing intent didn’t seem strong.

But then, they moved in unison.

Each one held a Refined Iron Sword, achieving Human-Sword Unity.

In the next instant, their killing intent merged.

The killing intent of forty people fused into one.

They simultaneously began to manifest the Infinite Sword Array.

A terrifying aura rose from the Death Warriors.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!...

The powerful killing intent boiled over.

Even Jiang Han was startled.

"Kill!"

Xiao Yun, however, paid it no mind. Wielding her sword—which was a Dharma Artifact—she flew toward the forty Death Warriors.

Her eyes were full of defiance.

Full of contempt and disdain for the Infinite Sword Array.

Of course, in the next moment, the forty Death Warriors, as if sharing one mind, saw Xiao Yun charge and moved in perfect unison.

WHOOSH!

They instantly scattered.

Though they scattered, their movements contained a strange, underlying pattern.

"Hm?"

Xiao Yun had originally targeted one of them. She knew that to break an array, one had to disrupt its formation points.

But now, all forty Death Warriors were formation points.

Although she couldn’t defeat them all, if she could just take down one Death Warrior, the power of the Infinite Sword Array would be greatly diminished.

This was also the weakness of the Infinite Sword Array.

By taking out the formation points one by one, the Sword Array could be rendered completely useless.

Her strategy was sound, but she had underestimated their coordination from the start.

Though they hadn’t trained together for long, they could already coordinate as if of one mind, aided further by the Heart Control Pill, which allowed them to communicate telepathically.

The moment Xiao Yun locked onto one Death Warrior, they suddenly scattered, causing her strike to hit empty ground.

"This is getting interesting."

Her competitive spirit was thoroughly ignited.

Standing in the center of the array, surrounded by forty Death Warriors who possessed only Martial Artist Cultivation, Xiao Yun was nonetheless brimming with confidence.

Then, her eyes sharpened, and gripping her sword, she prepared to move.

But the forty Death Warriors were faster.

SWOOSH!

With unified movements, they charged toward Xiao Yun.

The tip of every sword was pointed at her.

"Boundless Sword Qi, like waves washing the sand..."

All the Death Warriors suddenly began chanting the Technique in unison.

This was the Technique of the Infinite Sword Array.

The Infinite Sword Array was not a simple, static array, but one that could change.

The moment the Death Warriors shouted the Technique, the killing intent from each of them erupted with several times its previous power.

BOOM!

The aura of the first Death Warrior suddenly surged.

Then.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!...

The auras of all the Death Warriors erupted.

They converged toward the center, their Sword Qi and killing intent boiling.

SWOOSH!

In an instant, forty beams of light shot from the forty swords, heading straight for Xiao Yun at the center.

Individually, the forty beams of light were not strong. But when they gathered together, their power climbed endlessly.

And that was exactly what happened.

VMMMM...

The forty beams of light drew closer to the center, and the killing intent there grew stronger and stronger.

It seemed possible to kill an enemy with that killing intent alone.

As for Xiao Yun, who stood at the center, she had to break out if she wanted to shatter the array.

But the forty streams of Sword Qi flying toward her were startling.

"I will not be defeated."

She suddenly charged toward one of the Death Warriors.

WHOOSH!

The moment she moved, she was shocked to discover that as she did, the focal point of the forty beams of light moved with her. In other words, she was locked on by all forty beams at once.

Now, no matter how she moved, she would be hit by the combined force of the forty beams of light.

Seeing this, Xiao Yun sucked in a cold breath.

’This is what it means to be of one mind.’

She couldn’t believe it. Forty people had truly managed to act as one.

Now, no matter which formation point she tried to attack, it would be incredibly difficult to succeed.

Because she first had to face the combined strike of the Infinite Sword Array.

And she would only have a chance if her reaction speed was faster than the Sword Array’s.

However, it was too late.

The Infinite Sword Array’s forty beams of light accelerated in an instant, rushing toward her.

VMMMMMM...

The beams of light converged around Xiao Yun, and the terrifying killing intent descended directly upon her.

Xiao Yun’s expression changed drastically.

She roared, "Disperse!"

As the forty beams of light flew at her, she thrust her sword toward their center.

BOOM!

Xiao Yun had actually broken through the Sword Array’s first wave of attack.

CRACK!

In the next moment, Xiao Yun’s face turned pale.

Although she had broken the first wave, the Sword Intent and killing intent carried by the forty beams of light actually shattered her Dharma Artifact.

The Dharma Artifact sword in her hand shattered to pieces. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

’Not good!’

Only then did Xiao Yun realize that she had underestimated the Infinite Sword Array from the very beginning.

And after the first wave of attack came a second, a third... an endless torrent of killing intent surging toward her again.

Xiao Yun knew she couldn’t block it.

BANG!

The second wave of killing intent struck Xiao Yun.

"Ah—!"

Xiao Yun cried out as her body was sent flying.

"Stop...!"

Jiang Han hastily shouted, ordering the Death Warriors to stop their attack.

The second wave had already defeated Xiao Yun. If another one hit, she would be half-dead, if not worse.

It had only just begun, yet Xiao Yun was already defeated.

SWOOSH!

Xiao Yun landed in a sorry state, stumbling back several steps before she barely managed to steady herself.

She looked in horror at the forty Death Warriors, men who only had Martial Artist Cultivation.

A storm of shock raged within her heart.
