Chapter 416: Chapter 416: The Forbearing Wu Tian

Xiaojiu couldn’t help but frown. ”Brother, with over a thousand skeletons united, they definitely have the power to fight a Martial Saint. If you can’t defeat a Martial Saint, I’m afraid...”

A faint smile touched Cheng Yuan’s lips. ”Don’t worry, Xiaojiu. These skeletons are made up of Celestial Witch Warriors and Exotic Beasts. They’re mortal enemies. Even if they’ve forced an alliance, there will be plenty of weaknesses.”

Xiaojiu breathed a small sigh of relief. ’Brother has a point.’

Hearing the conversation between Cheng Yuan and Xiaojiu, the thousand-some skeletons suddenly burst into laughter.

The skeleton in the lead was named Wu Tian. He was the one who had defeated Wu Pa, whose vitality had been failing, to become the strongest of the Celestial Witch Race!

Wu Tian had long since recovered his peak strength, but he had never made a move, biding his time.

Now, Wu Tian had finally found an opportunity to defeat Cheng Yuan!

Wu Tian stepped forward and said in a low voice, ”Ever heard the saying ’death cancels all debts’? We’ve already died once. A thousand years is enough time to smooth over any hatred. Now, we’re the best of brothers! Old Dragon, get down.”

Beside Wu Tian was the skeleton of a Triceratops Exotic Beast. The Triceratops skeleton slowly lowered itself to the ground, inviting Wu Tian to mount it.

Wu Tian mounted it without hesitation, becoming a Skeleton Dragon Knight.

CLATTER! CLATTER!

More than three hundred skeletons clambered onto the backs of the Exotic Beast skeletons, becoming Exotic Beast Knights.

The combination of the two created an obvious synergy. Their speed, power, and destructive force all multiplied several times over!

Even though Cheng Yuan was now invincible below the rank of Martial Saint, facing more than three hundred Exotic Beast Knights, he felt an immense pressure weighing down on him!

The nine little girls’ faces turned pale!

Xiaoyi’s voice trembled. ”They... every single one of those Exotic Beast Knights has reached a level of invincibility below Martial Saint! With more than three hundred of them combined, they’re strong enough to clash head-on with a Martial Saint!!”

Xiaojiu’s expression hardened. ”We should fuse, too! If the nine of us fuse, we’ll super-evolve again! We’ll become a Ghost Emperor, with the power to contend with a Martial Saint!”

The nine little girls exchanged glances and nodded silently. At this point, fusing was their only option.

Seeing the nine little girls preparing to fuse, Cheng Yuan’s face fell, and he quickly moved to stop them!

”Don’t! Don’t fuse! If you do, your Divine Souls will become incredibly complex, making it nearly impossible to purify you! What’s more, you might go insane and become a menace! You could even end up as my enemies!”

”But if we don’t fuse, we can’t beat these Exotic Beast Knights.”

Cheng Yuan said calmly, ”It’s true that we’re no match for three hundred Exotic Beast Knights combined. But if we separate them and take them down one by one, it’ll be easy.”

Xiaoyi gave a wry smile. ”That’s easier said than done, Brother. They’re so strong. Separating them would be even harder than defeating them.”

A faint smile touched Cheng Yuan’s lips again. ”Separating them head-on with brute force would indeed be difficult. But what if we use an Array?”

An Array?

The nine little girls looked at each other, perplexed.

Cheng Yuan secretly rejoiced. ’It’s a good thing I set up a miniature Mountain Protection Array before entering the Celestial Witch Sect’s grounds. It’s finally coming in handy!’

As they spoke, the skeletons formed a charging formation under Wu Tian’s command.

The Exotic Beast Knight skeletons formed the vanguard, with the Celestial Witch Warriors as support, and launched a frenzied charge toward Cheng Yuan and the nine little girls!

Wu Tian was confident that a single charge would be enough to shatter the formation of Cheng Yuan and the little girls!

Facing the charge of a thousand skeletons, it would be a lie to say he wasn’t nervous.

But Cheng Yuan remained calm. He focused all his energy on connecting with the miniature Mountain Protection Array he had laid out, activating the power of its Illusion Array to the maximum!

The scenery before the skeletons changed!

It was as if they were no longer in the Beast Fighting Arena but in the Ancient Wilderness Forest. They were surrounded by lush, towering trees, and all their comrades and allies had vanished!

The skeletons ran around in circles within the Ancient Wilderness Forest like headless flies. With their limited intelligence, they couldn’t possibly figure out what was happening.

Wu Tian was utterly furious. Riding his Earth Dragon Beast, he charged wildly at the surrounding trees!

Unfortunately, not only did he fail to clear a path, but he also ended up accidentally injuring many of his own skeletons!

The nine little girls burst out laughing.

”Hee hee... these skeletons are hilarious! Why are they just spinning in place?”

”Brother, what’s going on? Why have the skeletons become so disorganized?”

”Hahaha, the leader is the funniest of them all, constantly attacking his own companions!”

Cheng Yuan grinned. ”They’re trapped in the Illusion Array. Now we can pick them off one by one! The hunt begins now!!”

Xiaoliu, the quickest thinker of the group, asked with a confused look, ”Brother, since you set up the miniature Mountain Protection Array ahead of time, why didn’t you activate it sooner?”

Cheng Yuan gave a wry smile. ”My strength was too low before. Even if I had activated the miniature Mountain Protection Array, I couldn’t have trapped a Martial Emperor Peak. At most, it could have trapped a Martial Emperor at the Early Stage.”

Xiaoliu patted her chest, her face showing lingering fear. ”So that’s why. It’s a good thing you broke through, Brother! Otherwise, we would have been in danger today.”

”Let’s take him down first!”

Cheng Yuan knew the principle of capturing the leader to defeat the bandits. He led the nine little girls in a charge straight for Wu Tian, who was the strongest and whose Exotic Beast also had the strongest bloodline.

Cheng Yuan and the nine little girls launched a ferocious assault!

To Cheng Yuan’s frustration, however, the Earth Dragon skeleton’s defense was so strong that they couldn’t even break through it!

Even when Cheng Yuan used Moving Mountains, Wu Tian suffered no substantial harm, merely being knocked back five or six steps!

Wu Tian roared with laughter. ”Kid, is that all you’ve got? Didn’t you have breakfast?”

Cheng Yuan retorted defiantly, ”What’s there to be so arrogant about? Even if I have to grind you down, I’ll wear you to dust today!”

Wu Tian sneered, ”Kid, did you think I couldn’t see through your little tricks? You used the Power of the Earth Veins to set up an Illusion Array! Under normal circumstances, this array could trap us for at least an hour—more than enough time for you to grind me down! Unfortunately for you, the Evil Vein is in a berserk state right now. The Evil Qi is constantly battering your Illusion Array! This array will last ten minutes at most!”

Cheng Yuan’s expression changed. Wu Tian was right. He could already feel the Evil Qi battering his miniature Mountain Protection Array!

In ten minutes at most, the miniature Mountain Protection Array would collapse!

Therefore, he had to gain the power to kill Wu Tian within ten minutes!

Cheng Yuan turned to the little girls and said in a low voice, ”You all keep him busy. I’m going to work on comprehending Duan Jiang and Inverted Sea! I refuse to believe I can’t take down a single skeleton today!”

”Okay!”

The nine little girls charged forward and engaged Wu Tian in a chaotic melee!

Cheng Yuan took the opportunity to work on comprehending Duan Jiang and Inverted Sea!

For an ordinary person, comprehending two moves from the *Celestial Witch Nine Extremes* in just ten minutes was an impossible fantasy!

After all, the *Celestial Witch Nine Extremes* was a Lifebound Heart Method created by the Ancient Celestial Witch. In terms of Cultivation Level, it even surpassed the vast majority of Cultivation Techniques.

Only the Lifebound Heart Methods of a select few Immortal Emperors could compare to it.
