LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 100: Too Scared to Step Up?
Low tier 2 freezing array!
As Feng Fan leaped into the air, the sword, metal knuckles, and axe wielders reacted swiftly, following him with a jump. However, the other two were not fast enough.
Within moments, ice began creeping up their legs, quickly encasing them up to their waists.
"Dammit! When did this guy set up an array?" yelled the hammer-wielding man, smashing at the ice with his weapon. But each time he managed to break a piece, the array would regenerate, freezing his body all over again.
While the hammer and sickle-wielding men struggled to free themselves from the ice, the other three continued their assault in mid-air.
"You can't escape!" the sword-wielding man taunted with a smirk.
Feng Fan didn't respond. Instead, he focused on controlling the array, summoning a thick barrier of ice from the ground to shield himself. Find adventures on empire
Shatter!
Their combined attacks broke through the icy barrier, but it bought Feng Fan just enough time to evade their strikes.
As the shattered ice fragments scattered, Feng Fan infused his right leg with spiritual qi and kicked the air, propelling himself downward and out of the array's boundary.
The three attackers who had initially avoided being caught by the freezing array now found themselves falling to the ground. Like Feng Fan, they used spiritual qi to maneuver and safely exit the array's confines before landing.
As soon as Feng Fan landed, he launched himself toward the two men still trapped in the ice.
Sealing Palm!
With their movement restricted, the two were easy targets. Feng Fan struck them both, sealing their cultivation. The moment their connection to spiritual qi was severed, their expressions twisted in despair.
Satisfied, Feng Fan deactivated the array.
Without their spiritual qi to counteract the freezing cold, and being untrained in body cultivation, it would be only a matter of time before hypothermia claimed them if he didn't deactivate the array.
He grabbed them by their arms and tossed them toward the spear-wielding man, who was still on the ground, silently watching the battle unfold.
Once the two were outside the array, Feng Fan turned his gaze to the remaining three men standing just beyond the array's boundary. A mocking smile spread across his face.
"What's wrong? Too scared to step up?"
The three glared at him with anger, but none dared to step forward. Willingly stepping into an Array Master's formation? That would be akin to committing suicide, and they weren't foolish enough to make such a reckless move.
On the side, Qian Xiaoli watched Feng Fan with admiration. 'No wonder Uncle Duan said Feng Fan was a genius in the Array Dao. He managed to create a tier 2 array so quickly and without anyone noticing!'
Thinking about the Young Generation Competition, she couldn't help but recall the Array Dao section. 'When it comes to the Array Dao, only a handful could possibly rival him. He's practically guaranteed a spot in the top five.'
"Since you're too scared to come to me, let me do the honors!" Feng Fan declared, infusing spiritual qi into the Suppression Relic.
He hurled the relic toward the three men, and as it flew, the brick began to enlarge, its imposing size barreling straight toward them.
The metal knuckles-wielding and axe-wielding men reacted quickly, kicking off the ground to evade the trajectory of the attack. The sword-wielding man, however, who was closest to the brick's epicenter, had no time to escape.
Forced to confront the attack, he channeled spiritual qi into his weapon.
"Serpentwing Thrust!" he shouted, and a spectral image of a winged serpent materialized behind him as he thrust his sword toward the oncoming brick.
When the sword and the massive brick collided, an overwhelming force traveled through his weapon and into his arms. His face twisted in pain as he struggled to maintain his grip on the sword.
'How is he this strong?!' He thought.
Though he managed to block Feng Fan's attack, the impact sent him skidding several meters across the ground before the Suppression Relic shrank back to its original size and returned to Feng Fan's hand.
The effort had taken its toll. Blood trickled down the man's arms, evidence of the strain and damage caused by the powerful clash.
As the brick returned to Feng Fan, he sprinted toward the sword-wielding man, leaving the array's boundary behind. Catching the brick mid-air, he jumped high, descending toward his opponent with a crushing strike aimed at his head.
The sword-wielding man desperately tried to raise his weapon in defense, but his battered arms, still trembling from the earlier clash, refused to obey.
Bam!
The brick struck his head with a resounding impact. Feng Fan had carefully controlled his strength, ensuring the blow was forceful enough to knock the man unconscious without causing fatal damage.
The sword-wielder crumpled to the ground, motionless but alive.
The axe-wielding and metal knuckle-wielding men seized the opportunity, unleashing their most powerful attacks as they charged toward Feng Fan. They showed no concern for the fate of their fallen partners, focused solely on taking him down.
"Buddha's Fury!"
"Meteor Descent!"
Feng Fan watched as both attacks closed in from his flanks, a smile tugging at his lips. He stashed the Suppression Brick into his space ring and focused his spiritual qi into both arms.
As the men approached, Feng Fan sprang into action, each arm intercepting one of their weapons.
"This guy must be crazy!" the axe-wielding man muttered as he noticed what Feng Fan was attempting.
To his surprise, Feng Fan caught both the axe and the metal knuckle with his bare hands, successfully halting the attacks.
However, Feng Fan wasn't unscathed. His arms and hands were covered in blood, with veins ruptured from the force of the impact and spiritual qi invading his body.
Feng Fan tossed the metal knuckles-wielding man aside like a ragdoll and turned his attention to the axe-wielding man, a grin still plastered on his face as he held onto the axe.
"It's payback time!"
