Chapter 2230: Baiting the “Snake” out of the Pit
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Qingfeng Li had never encountered any array at the half-immortal level. After all, Qingfeng Li was only a saint at the pinnacle tier right, he still lacked a lot compare to immortals.
Qingfeng Li used clairvoyance, and his right eye shot out golden beams of light. He then started to observe the half-immortal array.
However, after looking at it for awhile, he gained nothing. This made him to feel a little frustrated, since he discovered that the five elements mutually reinforce and neutralize each other, so he could not solve it in a short time.
Qingfeng Li looked at the Five Elements Array for a long time, but he could not find the weak point.
This was because the five array flags, gold, wood, water, fire, and soil mutually reinforce and neutralize each other, and they could form five different rivers.
All rivers contained half-immortal energy, which was very strong. Qingfeng Li could not break the half-immortal energy even with the Thunder Immortal Sword.
Not to mention that the half-immortal energy merged with each other, and the combined attack was equivalent to one attack from an immortal.
Even though that attack did not land directly on Qingfeng Li, it kept on squeezing Qingfeng Li in his limited living s.p.a.ce. Qingfeng Li’s skin was torn, his flesh was shown, and there was blood everywhere. It was obvious that he could not endure this enormous amount of energy.
One should know that ever since Qingfeng Li practiced the Mortal Purgatory Body and absorbed the Four-colored Thunderbolt, his skin, muscle, and bones had reached an energy level of 75 million kilograms.
Even an entire planet would not be able to injury him, but now a Five Elements Array did.
The more Qingfeng Li discovered about the Five Elements Array, the stronger he realized it was. It was definitely the strongest array he had encountered so far.
Qingfeng Li sent a voice transmission to Dark Night Monarch who was in the long sword, “Sunbae, how should I break this array?”
Dark Night Monarch flied out of Qingfeng Li’s long sword and closely observed the half-immortal array.
After looking at it for a while, Dark Night Monarch shook his head and said, “I only reached the Saint level at the pinnacle tier back in the Ancient Ages. I was half-step into the half-immortal level, but not the immortal level yet. So I cannot really break Bright Moon Saintess’s Five Elements Array.”
Qingfeng Li listened to Dark Night Monarch’s words, and shock and worry appeared in his eyes at the same time.
He had relied on Dark Night Monarch the most for the past. For all these time, Dark Night Monarch not only taught him how to practice certain techniques, he also taught him knowledges about array, s.p.a.ce, and talisman scripts.
If he did not have Dark Night Monarch’s help, then his future would be all dark. For example, Qingfeng Li was stuck with the Five Elements Array right now.
Seeing that Qingfeng Li was frowning, Dark Night Monarch said, “Little guy, why are you trying to break the Five Elements Array?”
Qingfeng Li answered, “I have to break the Five Elements Array in order to get out, so I can defeat Bright Moon Saintess, Gravity Saint Son, and Three-colored Saintess, Frost Saint Son, and others.”
Dark Night Monarch said, “You are overlooking something. Even if you break the Five Elements Array and fight Bright Moon Saintess, Gravity Saint Son, and others to death, you are all going to be worn out in the end. That will only benefit Blood Immortal who is keeping her own presence hidden right now.”
Qingfeng Li thought that Dark Night Monarch was right. He actually almost forgot about his biggest enemy, which was indeed Blood Immortal.
Blood Immortal was like a hidden viper. If she appeared, then she would give Qingfeng Li a final blow for sure. Even if he did not die from her attack, he would definitely be greatly injured.
Once someone became greatly injured in the Fallen Immortal Arena, then he would get attacked by other self-cultivators.
Qingfeng Li did not know if any other masters except for Bright Moon Saintess, Gravity Saint Son, and other perfect Saint sons had entered the Fallen Immortal Arena.
After all, only five out of the top ten masters from the Hidden Dragon List came, the top five did not come.
Qingfeng Li asked modestly, “Sunbae, what do you think I should do?”
Dark Night Monarch looked at Qingfeng Li and said, “You are forgetting about all the methods you have used in the past. You can pretend to be injured and dead, and bait Bright Moon Saintess, Gravity Saint Son, and Three-colored Saintess into attacking you. In the best case, Blood Immortal will appear too. You can kill them all by then.”
Qingfeng Li nodded and agreed to Dark Night Monarch’s solution. He also thought that this was the correct solution.
Qingfeng Li dashed around madly inside the Five Elements Array on purpose. Of course he could not break the array, and he received tons of attacks from the half-immortal energy stored in the array. This created wounds after wounds on his body, and his blood constantly splashed out.
During this process, Qingfeng Li constantly used the Heavenly Immortal Spell and actually absorbed the Heavenly Immortal Energy from the Five Elements Array.
Even though he was absorbing the Heavenly Immortal Energy at a slow rate, it was still constantly entering Qingfeng Li’s body and repairing his injury. The only thing was that the process of his recovery was a little slow.
Outside the Five Elements Array, Gravity Saint Son laughed and said, “Bright Moon Saintess, your Five Elements Flag is too strong! As expected from the strongest array flag in the universe, it trapped Qingfeng Li right away!”
Three-colored Saintess and Frost Saint Son nodded, and they looked at Bright Moon Saintess with admiration.
Bright Moon Saintess’s Five Elements Flag was famous in the entire Universal Saint World. It also ranked the top ten on the Saint Device List. Many people died to this array and became dead souls that followed the array ever since then.
Bright Moon Saintess smiled like a rose and said, “Qingfeng Li cannot escape from my Five Elements Array right now. Let’s all use our dharma treasure and kill him with ranged attacks.”
Three-colored Saintess, Frost Saint Son, and Gravity Saint Son nodded. They swung their dharma treasure and directed their attacks toward the array. Those attacks landed directly on Qingfeng Li.
Qingfeng Li also used the vital essence stored in his body and formed a defensive veil. He tried his best to block the incoming attacks. However, with his own power, he could not fight against a crowd.
Most importantly, Five Elements Array reduced Qingfeng Li’s attack power, so his attack power was really weak right now.
Qingfeng Li was getting more and more wounds. A few blood holes appeared on his body. There was a giant hole at the area around his chest and stomach. Blood splashed out and countless number of his bones broke.
With a thud, Qingfeng Li fell to the ground heavily. He had lost too much blood, and it seemed like he was on the verge of dying.
Of course, Qingfeng Li was faking all of these. His real heart, head, and other important areas of his body were not injured at all.
Only his bones, skin, and muscles were injured, which were not important. They were very easy to repair to self-cultivators at the Saint level.
Bright Moon Saintess, Gravity Saint Son and others did not know that Qingfeng Li was pretending to be dead. They thought he was actually dying.
Bright Moon Saintess smiled like a rose and said, “I was the one who trapped Qingfeng Li with the Five Elements Flag, so let me kill him and get his Thunder Immortal Sword.”
Gravity Saint Son, Three-colored Saintess and others flashed their eyes, but did not speak. They all had their own plan.
They united just now to attack Qingfeng Li because they wanted to acquire Qingfeng Li’s Thunder Immortal Sword. Now Qingfeng Li was on the verge of dying, no one wanted to give up on this precious chance.
