“What's wrong? With me here, do you think you can harm the Young Master of Liuhuo Fortress?”
The red-clothed elder sneered, his tone dismissive, but his expression was grave.
“Do you think I would act here without preparation?
I have long calculated that you would pass through this place, how could I not be ready?
The previous encounter was merely warm-up; the position of your Liuhuo Fortress's flying boat is precisely where I calculated, heh heh, let me show you the origin of my title as the Master of Ghost Array.”
Upon hearing this, the red-clothed elder's heart jolted, and he instinctively exclaimed, “Not good!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he hurriedly turned around and rushed towards the flying boat, his expression turning anxious as if he had thought of something terrifying.
“Only now do you realize?
It's too late.”
The Ghost Array Saint Master cackled ominously, a hint of ferocity flashing in his eyes. As he manipulated the hand seals, the ruler in his hand suddenly erupted with a dazzling radiance.
Boom! The entire star river suddenly stirred, and the chaotic currents in the void tidal sea erupted in turmoil. In the next moment, centered around Xiahou Zun's body, dark array lights radiated in all directions.
In just three breaths, a ten-thousand-mile area of void was instantly enveloped by an inexplicable power, as if it had been isolated from the entire world. Standing within this ten-thousand-mile radius, one would see nothing but the dark flowing light across the sky, while the surrounding void currents had vanished without a trace.
At this moment, it was as if they had entered another world.
“Ghost King Fengdu Great Array!”
The red-clothed elder's face turned pale as he identified the cause of this transformation.
“Heh heh heh.”
Xiahou Zun's figure had long disappeared, and now only his voice radiated in all directions, making it hard to discern its source. “Indeed, you can recognize this array; you may die with your eyes closed.”
“When did you set this up?”
The red-clothed elder questioned with a dark expression.
“Knowing you are from Liuhuo Fortress naturally allows me to track your movements. What's so impressive about setting up a great array in advance?
It's only because your Young Master is too arrogant, thinking no one dares to provoke Liuhuo Fortress?”
Xiahou Zun's voice continued to echo.
Not far away, on the flying boat, the Young Master of Liuhuo Fortress also looked extremely ugly.
Though he was on the flying boat and seemed safe, he was already enveloped within the Ghost King Fengdu Great Array. His expression was somewhat awkward, and from the tense demeanor of Huo Lao, he guessed that this array was extraordinary.
After thinking for a moment, he suddenly shouted to the experts from Liuhuo Fortress on the flying boat, “Quickly go out and support Huo Lao; this Young Master will assist you here!”
On the flying boat, besides him, there were also more than a dozen Saint Master-level experts, with two at the peak mid-stage, combining to form a formidable force.
Upon hearing this, those people did not hesitate much and swiftly used their movement techniques to fly out towards Huo Lao.
“Don't come out!”
Huo Lao's face changed drastically at the sight, and he instinctively shouted, but it was already too late.
At the moment those individuals flew out, the entire great array surged violently, unleashing ghostly wails that transformed into numerous skeletal figures, lunging towards the guardians of Liuhuo Fortress.
These skeletons had menacing faces, each exuding a chilling ghostly aura, creating a strong sense of horror.
However, the many experts of Liuhuo Fortress had rich combat experience. Not understanding the power of this array, they would not easily let the skeletal figures bite them, so they avoided them.
But one early peak-stage Saint Master-level guardian was too slow to evade, and was bitten on half his body by a skeletal figure.
Quietly, half of this early peak-stage Saint Master-level guardian's body was directly bitten off with a crunch, effortlessly vanishing into nothingness.
