Chapter 2450: Chapter 2453: The Enhanced Effect of the Array Formation

The array formations from the Array Refining Stone may not be as powerful as those meticulously set up over time.

However, dozens of formations interlocking with one another still possess considerable strength.

Although Ling Xiao might not be able to kill the top experts of the Sword Clan, dragging a majority to support his cause is sufficient.

Even if he dies, he wants the Sword Clan to pay a heavy price.

"Ling Xiao, are you insane? Do you want to be the enemy of the entire Eight Immortals Mountain?"

At this moment, An Yexing, the clan leader of the Dark Clan, was also somewhat flustered.

He hadn’t expected Ling Xiao to make such a move, trapping him here as well.

"Rest assured, Clan Leader, the array formations do not attack anyone who isn’t a Martial Artist of the Sword Clan. Though my proficiency in array formations isn’t high, I have this bit of confidence."

Ling Xiao stated indifferently.

Although he hated An Yexing desperately, today he mainly aimed to trouble the Sword Clan and couldn’t afford to offend anyone else, so he had meticulously modified the array formations.

"Just as I thought, you can freely move in and out!"

Amidst the crowd, some brave souls began to test the power of the array formations and were pleasantly surprised.

When the Martial Artists of the Sword Clan saw this, they sneered, "Perhaps these array formations are useless, unable to trap anyone."

Then many witnessed the horrific aftermath.

Any Sword Clan member attempting to leave the courtyard would face terrifying array formation attacks, and those slightly weaker would be destroyed on the spot.

Those a bit stronger would be severely injured.

Even the top experts found it difficult to breach the formations and escape quickly and successfully.

"This Ling Xiao is truly a treasure. Alas, if I were our Sect Leader, I would certainly keep Ling Xiao close and nurture him properly. How could I let him suffer such grievances?"

A Zhen Clan expert sighed.

"It’s easier said than done; Ling Xiao has made enemies with so many people. To protect him, one would inevitably face offending more people.

The Sect Leader wouldn’t engage in such a loss-making business."

Another person remarked.

"Ah well, since we can come and go freely, let’s just enjoy the show, drink some tea, why not."

Those watching naturally didn’t want to assist anyone.

On one side was the Sword Clan, one of the Eight Great Families.

On the other side was a talented Genius Martial Artist.

No matter whom to help, it would result in offending the other side.

Under the current circumstances, these old foxes preferred to sit atop the mountain and watch the tiger fight. In the end, they’ll support whichever side wins.

Ling Xiao released all the Array Refining Stones he could and then looked at Jian Kun, coldly saying, "Old dog Jian Kun, I don’t want to say much. Release my sister, and I’ll disable these formations.

Otherwise, we’ll both face the Jade and Stone Annihilation today!"

"Presumptuous! You think you can threaten our Sword Clan with these broken formations?

I tell you, it’s useless. Release the formation obediently, and we might spare you and hand you over to the sect.

If you remain stubborn, I will personally strike you down!"

Jian Kun said sinisterly.

As the Sword Clan Leader, it’s naturally impossible for him to bow down to Ling Xiao, especially when the situation is still unclear. If he cowers now, the Sword Clan would be a laughing stock in the future.

"Father, no need to take action personally; leave it to me."

Jian Liufeng suddenly said coldly, "During my wedding, I haven’t intervened not wanting to exacerbate matters, yet he repeatedly kills our clan members.

If he doesn’t die, how could I face my brother’s spirit in heaven?"

"Darling, today is your wedding day, let me assist you. Ling Xiao is a small matter, no need for you to act personally, Father."

Suddenly, a woman appeared before everyone.

She was alluringly beautiful, captivating.

The key was, despite her youth, she possessed formidable strength.

Her name was Sha Xin, a woman from the Sha Clan, married into the Sword Clan, becoming Jian Liufeng’s wife.

They married at fourteen, now they’re seventeen or eighteen, yet still childless.

Not unwilling, rather, Sha Xin suffered from infertility.

To ensure Jian Liufeng does not abandon her, even seeing her husband marry another woman today, she decided to fight for him.

Coldly observing Sha Xin, Ling Xiao said indifferently, "Don’t think because you’re a woman, I won’t dare to lay hands on you.

Your Sha Clan and Sword Clan are equally shameless, only knowing how to use despicable methods.

I’m telling you, get out of the way early on or don’t actively seek death. Otherwise, I won’t spare Sha Clan members."

"You dare insult me!"

Sha Xin looked at Ling Xiao angrily.

This guy not only insulted the Sword Clan but also the Sha Clan; truly a madman.

Daring to challenge two of the strongest four families simultaneously, isn’t this courting death?

"You scoundrel, wretched thing like a worm, kneel down and apologize quickly; I might leave you a whole corpse, otherwise, you’ll die without one!"

Sha Xin shouted furiously.

From within the Sword Clan, dozens of experts jumped out, unable to tolerate any longer.

Ling Xiao causing trouble at the Sword Clan was already deserving of death.

Having killed Jian Mofeng, Jian Jia, and Jian You, three of the Clan’s young masters.

And still daring to insult the Sword Clan and Sha Clan, if they didn’t kill this brat, the Sword Clan would lose face in the future.

At this moment, Lin Yang, Qing Luan Hua, and Lin Ruoxian also stood behind Ling Xiao.

They had come here precisely to assist Ling Xiao.

Now the battle is about to start, they certainly couldn’t stand by and do nothing.

"Attack!"

Dozens of Sword Clan experts attacked almost simultaneously.

Jian Kun did not intend to stop them; his gaze focused on a distant position.

Feeling slightly displeased.

No, extremely displeased.

The distant expert hadn’t made a move until now, yet continued to lock onto him.

If he acted, the opponent would surely intervene.

Honestly, he was unsure about defeating that person, so out of apprehension, he could only let his subordinates attack first.

These Sword Clan experts, among them the weakest, were Martial Artists of the Ordinary Triple-Layer Hell cultivation.

The strongest was a Yin-Yang Realm Third Layer Hell Peak Martial Artist.

Of course, some were older, in their forties or fifties, and naturally not as talented as Jian You and Jian Jia.

Though strong, they couldn’t be labeled as geniuses.

"Listen, don’t recklessly charge in, just like before at Black Immortal Mountain, manipulate the formations for attack.

Using the formations to enhance yourself.

Close-quarter combat is only a last resort."

Ling Xiao reminded his three companions then charged forward directly.

Facing these experts, he naturally couldn’t waste his Primordial Power.

With a move of his soul power, the array formations activated.

Many hadn’t even approached within ten meters of him when they were attacked by sharp rocks suddenly surging from the ground.

Several died horribly on the spot, while others were startled.

Simultaneously, Lin Yang, Qing Luan Hua, and Lin Ruoxian also began their assault.

Ling Xiao had crafted tailored formations for these three; they didn’t require element usage nor consumed their soul power.

Yet they significantly enhanced their own attacks manifold.
