Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 1559: Chapter 827: Night Assassination (Part 3)

”Their swimming skills are excellent, but they stand no chance against a group of Water Demons. Once they enter the water, they’re doomed.”

This group of water robbers can die, but they cannot escape.

Xia Canonical Official paused for a moment, then looked deeply at Mo Hua, nodded and said, ”Alright.”

She couldn’t help but sigh in her heart.

This young boy is really clever.

In such a short time, he could come up with a method. Although it’s a bit sinister, it’s just right for dealing with this group of wicked water robbers.

Gu Changhuai, on the other hand, seemed unfazed.

He knew that Mo Hua must have planned this early on.

Even using Monster Beasts to trap and kill others, Mo Hua definitely wasn’t doing it for the first time.

Probably someone had fallen into his trap before...

After the discussion was finished, Mo Hua began to ”bait the hook.”

He threw the fishy-smelling algae and Blood Pills refined with the help of Monster Beasts into the water.

The smell of the Blood Pills was extremely unpleasant.

Xia Canonical Official couldn’t help but cover her mouth and nose, then curiously asked:

”Are these Blood Pills originally this shape? Why do they look so ugly like misshapen fruits?”

”No,” Mo Hua said calmly, ”because they were refined by me...”

His alchemy skills are really poor.

This pill is not a proper medicinal pill; he just threw in everything he believed the Monster Beasts would like to eat randomly, muddling through the refining process, which resulted in this ugly appearance.

Mo Hua felt a bit helpless.

He could draw Formations beautifully, but the pills he refined were ugly, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Xia Canonical Official looked at the handsome and elegant Mo Hua and the ugly pills in his hand and remained silent.

After the baiting, everything was ready.

Everyone then began to lurk in the water plants, waiting for 22 p.m. to arrive.

The night became increasingly deep, with a crescent moon hanging in the sky like a sharp scimitar, exuding a cold gleam.

The atmosphere was oppressive, filled with a sense of imminent slaughter.

Not knowing how much time had passed, Gu Changhuai, who was resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes.

There was a sound coming from the Water Island.

The sound of a door creaking open was heard.

It seemed like a large gate was being opened, followed by the noise of boats entering the water, accompanied by rough and noisy human voices.

”Gone hunting...”

”Wonder what we’ll catch today.”

”It’s okay to kill the men quickly, but be careful with the women, don’t chop their heads off with one blow, it’s off-putting.”

”Damn you, killing men but not women, are you biased towards women?”

”Nonsense, aren’t you too?”

...

The number of boats increased, and the voices grew louder and more chaotic.

When a group of water robbers, about fifty or sixty people, had taken their boats and exited the island, floating on the water with no escape,

a Wind Blade came suddenly unnoticed.

A water robber with a scar on his head, who was chatting and laughing, immediately had his head sliced off, blood spattering, his body falling like a wooden stake into the river.

The chaotic voices abruptly ceased.

Instant silence fell all around.

Then a water robber exclaimed in panic: ”What was that?”

”Why is his head gone?”

”Water Demon decapitating?”

The night was dark and heavy, and a mist hung over the water, with a faint sense of impending violence emanating from the mist.

Soon, some water robbers realized something was wrong and shouted in alarm:

”Someone... kill...”

A short sword imbued with icy spiritual power sliced through his throat, sealing his voice, freezing his blood, and taking his life.

Behind the water robbers, Xia Canonical Official sheathed the short sword, his expression stern, and commanded in a solemn voice:

”Kill!”

Then shouts of killing erupted suddenly.

The previously empty and dark water surface suddenly appeared crowded with the silhouettes of numerous boats.

On every boat, there were about a dozen Court Officials with exquisite Spiritual Artifacts, their expressions fierce and murderous.

At Xia Canonical Official’s command, the Court Officials simultaneously drew their longswords, leaped onto the water robbers’ boats, and started slashing, mingling their spiritual power with blood, which splattered everywhere.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen water robbers were killed.

Some had their heads chopped off, some had their arms severed, and others had their hearts pierced, blood gushing like a fountain, dyeing a section of the river red.

The water robbers were terrified.

”Enemy attack!”

”Damn it!”

”Where did these bastards come from?!”

”Issued Spirit Swords, damn Court Dogs!”

The water robbers shouted and cursed.

The Taoist Court and the smell of blood aroused their ferocity as desperate criminals, naturally not lacking in the recklessness to fight back.

The water robbers also drew their swords and knives and took out blood-colored Evil Artifacts, engaging in combat with the Taoist Court.

But they were outnumbered, caught on the water’s surface, and ambushed unexpectedly, naturally not a match for the well-prepared Court Cultivators.

Moreover, Gu Changhuai and Xia Canonical Official, both Golden Core cultivators, were leading the attack.

The water robbers were being defeated step by step.

One after another, they were slain.

Finally, some water robbers became terrified, turned to flee toward the Water Island, but were blocked by other water robbers behind them. As they advanced and retreated, they became a tangled mess and were reaped one by one by the Court Officials.

At the Kan Gate of the Water Island, there was a large gate.

The gate was constructed of wood and stone, with formations flowing on it.

Behind the gate was the hideout of the water robbers.

The Taoist Court advanced toward the island, taking a few lives with every step.

At that time, a water robber shouted, ”Quick! Close the gate! These bastards are going to storm in!”

The gate was halfway closed when the water robbers outside blocked it.

The water robbers being slaughtered by the Taoist Court outside the gate shouted angrily, ”Damn it! Don’t close the gate! I’m not inside yet!”

As they pushed and shoved, Gu Changhuai reached the gate.

He took out a feather fan, channeled his spiritual power, waved it once, and sent out several extremely sharp Wind Blades, instantly shredding a few water robbers.

Then Gu Changhuai leaped forward, like a gale, rushing directly into the gate of the stronghold.

The water robbers inside the gate surrounded and attacked Gu Changhuai.

But they were just ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators. Although they were ruthless killers, in direct combat, they were no match for the academically trained and deeply knowledgeable Gu Changhuai.

Xia Canonical Official also seized the opportunity to enter, with a sword glowing with cold light, ice shards flashing, and each strike was fatal.

In just a moment, a large number of water robbers were slain at the Eight Trigrams ”Kan” Gate.

Gu Changhuai activated his spiritual power and, following Mo Hua’s instructions, forcibly broke several formations inside the Kan Gate.

The gate, without the support of formations, was merely ordinary earth and stone and collapsed in an instant.

With that, the main gate to the water robbers’ lair stood wide open.

Over four hundred Court Officials, eyes sharp, wielding swords and knives in hand, like a pack of hungry wolves, charged in to kill.

At that time, it was exactly 1 p.m.

Within the stronghold, the Eight Gates began to revolve.

The Taoist Court started the assault, the water robbers began to struggle, then fled according to the Eight Gates...

Everything was as Mo Hua had planned.

But Mo Hua did not enter.

The mixed battle among cultivators was still somewhat dangerous.

He sat alone in a concealed small boat, poured himself a glass of sweet lychee wine, squinted his eyes, and drank it leisurely.

Inside the stronghold, the battle grew fiercer, and the smell of blood became more intense...
