Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 530 Fierce Battle_2

The Zhang Family Ancestral Masterʼs presence suddenly turned ominous.

The Corpse Poison condensed, transforming into myriad serpentine dragons, hissing with flickering tongues, and slithering in all directions.

Mo Huaʼs scalp tingled slightly.

This ancestor of the Zhang Family, his devious methods were far too numerous.

Practicing both Corpse Body and Spell Casting.

Was he a Body Cultivator, or a Spiritual Cultivator?

Or could it be that the Evil Demonʼs methods were unique, transcending both Blood Qi and Spiritual Power?

As Mo Hua pondered, the serpentine dragons had already reached his feet, prompting Mo Hua to immediately perform the Water Passing Step, retreating swiftly.

This slight movement sent a ripple through his Divine Thought, and though it was minute, it was still detected by the ever-vigilant Zhang Family Ancestral Master.

The bronze vertical pupils of the Zhang Family Ancestral Master narrowed, and he pointed his White Bone Staff at Mo Hua.

The surrounding serpentine dragons swarmed together like a tidal wave, carrying a chilling poisonous aura as they swept towards Mo Hua.

With no other choice, Mo Hua revealed his form, retreating with light steps while quickly tapping his fingers together.

One after another, the Fireball Technique materialized from his fingertips, whistling through the air.

The bright red fireballs collided with the Corpse Poison serpents, exploding on impact.

The flames of the Fire-series Spiritual Power detonated, the fireʼs Spiritual Threads shredding through them. Experience new tales on empire

Hordes of the poison snakes were obliterated by the fireballs, reduced to ash, the Corpse Poison incinerated, and within the crimson flames, even a hint of ghastly green could be seen.

In less than the time it takes to finish a cup of tea, Mo Hua had burnt all of the Zhang Family Ancestral Masterʼs Corpse Poison serpents to death using the Fireball Technique.

The Zhang Family Ancestral Master appeared nonchalant.

The Corpse Poison Technique was broken, but he had flushed out the ”hidden observer.”

Only, this ”hidden observer” made him feel both surprised and suspicious.

It was just a kid...

Had the mastermind been an exceptionally talented young Cultivator, a scheming middle-aged Cultivator, or even a grave and solemn old Cultivator, he would not have been surprised.

But this kid with an innocent face, an unblemished demeanor, and yet profound eyes, gave him a shiver.

Something abnormal must be a demon at work.

The Zhang Family Ancestral Master frowned.

This kid, with Divine Sense both pure and profound, was capable of manifesting his form as well as spells.

An appearance of naivety, but methods full of cunning.

Lurking unseen, watching in secret.

Manipulating the Zhang Familyʼs Elders like puppets.

Even had it not been for his manifestation of the White Bone Staff and the strengthening of his Corpse Poison Technique, he would have been unable to coerce the kid out.

The mastery he had over his own Divine Thoughts had taken hundreds of years to achieve, through the consumption of human divine senses, painstaking exploration, and integrating Corpse Path inheritance from his past life into his cultivation.

This kid, with his childlike air, having hardly eaten enough rice for a few years, where did he acquire such deep cunning and such bizarre methods?

The Zhang Family Ancestral Masterʼs gaze grew heavy as he asked:

”Kid, what exactly is your background?”

Mo Hua replied with a beaming smile, ”You guess.”

The Zhang Family Ancestral Master did not show anger and asked again:

”How exactly did you take control of my Zhang Familyʼs Elders?”

Telling blatant lies, Mo Hua replied:

”I didnʼt control them, they did it all by themselves. After committing countless wrongs, they even thought of coming into my Sea of Consciousness to devour my Divine Sense. I kindly gave them some advice, and with sudden enlightenment, they cleaned up their act...”

”Oh, right,” Mo Hua continued, ”they also said they wanted to atone for their sins by getting rid of you, the old ancestor.”

The Zhang Family Ancestral Masterʼs eyes grew cold.

This kid was full of nonsense, and it was unclear which words were true...

Certainly not any sort of good nature.

The Zhang Family Ancestral Masterʼs thoughts flickered, and he came up with a plan, saying:

”We have no grudges or resentments, can we call it quits here?”

Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, ”Sure, I donʼt want to fight with you. I canʼt beat you.”

Once finished speaking, Mo Hua waved his hand at the Zhang Family Ancestral Master, ”Youʼre free to go, I wonʼt keep you around...”

The Zhang Family Ancestral Master was momentarily stunned, then his expression shifted ambiguously, as he said faintly:

”Then, about these Elders of my Zhang Family... ”

Mo Hua waved his hand again, ”I told you, theyʼve had a change of heart, theyʼve mended their ways. Theyʼre not following you anymore, theyʼre mine now, obeying my commands...”

The Zhang Family Ancestral Master sneered, ”We agreed to stop this, young man, it doesnʼt seem like youʼre being very sincere?”

”Sincere about what?”

The Zhang Family Ancestral Master said:

”You release the controls on them, Iʼll take them away. After that, we keep to our own paths, and my Zhang Family will no longer disrespect you. I also ask you to show some courtesy to my Zhang Family. What do you say?”

Mo Hua pretended to be contemplative, frowning slightly:

”But... I canʼt beat you anyway, and if I allow these Iron Corpses to turn against me, what if you donʼt keep your word? Wouldnʼt I be in a very dangerous situation?”

The Zhang Family Ancestral Master cursed inwardly.

Such a suspicious kid!

”What do you propose?”

Mo Huaʼs eyes spun craftily, ”How about this? Iʼll remove the control over these Iron Corpses, and you cripple your Divine Sense. You donʼt need to destroy too much, just about seventy or eighty percent will do. That way, without the Iron Corpses, and with you having less Divine Sense, weʼll be even.”

The Zhang Family Ancestral Masterʼs gaze turned icy, ”Kid, are you making fun of me?”

Mo Hua was about to continue bantering when suddenly his expression drastically changed, revealing shock.

He discovered that behind the Zhang Family Ancestral Master, a massive bronze coffin had emerged at some unknown time.

This immense coffin, apparently also manifested, exuded an aura of olden times, covered in verdigris, its presence deep and profound, nearly identical to the one used for refining a Corpse King.

The bronze coffin was huge, clearly out of the ordinary.

Such a manifestation also must have cost a significant amount of time.

The words of the Zhang Family Ancestral Master just moments ago, about ”calling it quits” and ”keeping to our own paths,” were all lies.

He was merely biding time.

So that he could finish manifesting this massive bronze coffin!

Mo Hua exclaimed angrily, ”You old bastard, how devious, tricking me into chatting while secretly casting a spell!”
