Chapter 95 Lin Yichen's First Battle, the End of the Holy Beast Cult
Reading Settings
Meanwhile, outside the Holy Beast Sect, or rather, outside Huanggang Mountain, Xiao Chen stopped the snowmobile.
"Wait here for me a moment while I set up the formation. It will probably take two and a half hours. Be careful during this time!"
After saying that, Xiao Chen turned and left, disappearing from the spot in an instant. Lin Yichen and Qin Bajiao were a little worried, but thinking that Xiao Chen was not a man of his word, they could only wait there.
Lin Yichen, having awakened her superpowers, wasn't too afraid, as was Qin Bajiao. They each had about ten crystal core bombs in their hands, ready to detonate one at a time.
After leaving the snowmobile, Xiao Chen began to set up an array around Huanggang Mountain. The top-grade yellow-rank trapping array that Xiao Chen had learned was called the Life-Binding Array, which was set up with forty-nine yellow-rank array stones.
In Xiao Chen's memory, setting up an array requires array stones as a foundation. Array stones and cultivation techniques generally exist in four grades: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow. Array stones of different grades have different requirements for the mental strength of the person setting up the array.
Xiao Chen arrived at a certain spot on Huanggang Mountain, took out the array stone, and then tightly gripped it, pouring his spiritual power into it to carve out the array patterns of the Binding Life Array.
Different arrays use different array patterns; they may have similarities, but they will never be identical.
To a formation master, each large formation is merely a large formation pattern.
Without hesitation, Xiao Chen carved a corner of the array pattern into the array stone and then threw the array stone at his feet. The array stone took deep root in the ground the moment it touched the ground.
Even if one wanted to remove it, it would be impossible. Only someone with a powerful cultivation level or spiritual strength superior to Xiao Chen could take the array stone away, but it is clear that the Holy Beast Sect does not have such a person.
Soon, Xiao Chen finished setting up all forty-eight array stones and returned to the snowmobile. Lin Yichen and Qin Bajiao saw Xiao Chen return and quickly got out of the car to greet him.
After seeing the array stone in Xiao Chen's hand, he asked curiously.
"Master, what is this?"
"This is an array plate. By channeling power into the array plate, you can activate the Life-Binding Array. Only the person holding the array plate can move freely within the array!"
Xiao Chen did not hide anything and told them the truth. After all, even if others obtained the array plate, they could not trap Xiao Chen in the array. The array stones were set up using Xiao Chen's mental power, so Xiao Chen naturally knew where the weakness of the Binding Life Array was.
Getting out couldn't be easier.
After the array stones were laid out, Xiao Chen did not hesitate. He directly channeled his power into the array plate, and in an instant, forty-eight pillars of light rose from the ground, reaching the same height as Huanggang Mountain in just a few minutes.
Then, beams of light emanated from the pillar of light and converged on the other pillars of light. After they converged, they successfully sealed off Huanggang Mountain. Huanggang Mountain was also sealed off by a pillar of light. Even if one wanted to burrow underground, it would be powerless, since the array stones were rooted in the earth, naturally sealing off the underground as well.
Now the members of the Sacred Beast Sect had no way to escape, and they naturally noticed this phenomenon and immediately panicked.
"Let's go in."
After saying that, Xiao Chen walked into the great formation. Lin Yichen and Qin Bajiao exchanged a glance and then quickly followed. Xiao Chen raised the formation plate, and the next second, the light screen of the great formation, which had been sealed, sensed something and opened a small opening, allowing the three of them to enter the great formation.
"Leave no one alive. After all, they are all members of the Holy Beast Cult, and I have a grudge against the Holy Beast Cult. In other words, they are my enemies!"
Xiao Chen said coldly, looking at Lin Yichen and Qin Bajiao. Lin Yichen and Qin Bajiao were somewhat resistant, after all, in their opinion, there was no need to kill all the people of the Holy Beast Sect. Wouldn't it be better to just kill Tang Xiaolong?
Seeing the expressions on their faces, Xiao Chen couldn't help but sigh and say, "Don't they know the current situation? Xiao Chen is determined to kill Tang Xiaolong."
In the eyes of the Holy Beast Cult, Tang Xiaolong was their savior. How could they possibly agree to Xiao Chen killing their savior?
"If you don't agree, then leave now. Following me means you have to go through bloodshed and violence, and those who aren't ruthless can't follow me."
Xiao Chen said resolutely that his growth meant he had to go through countless trials and tribulations. If Lin Yichen and Qin Bajiao couldn't accept it, they might as well leave sooner rather than later.
"Hmph, if that's the case, then leave no one alive!"
The first to speak was Lin Yichen. After awakening her superpower, she knew that this world was probably very cruel. What did it matter if she killed some mortals for Xiao Chen? Besides, Xiao Chen had said that they were his enemies, so she felt even less guilty!
"But I don't have any superpowers, so what am I supposed to do?"
Qin Bajiao said weakly, "I am a mortal, unlike Lin Yichen who has superpowers. Asking me to kill someone is just asking me to die."
"You can use a crystal core bomb!"
Xiao Chen said coldly, and Qin Bajiao finally agreed. After they both agreed, Xiao Chen set off for Huanggang Mountain, and Lin Yichen and Qin Bajiao quickly followed.
Soon, under Xiao Chen's divine sense probing, they successfully found the entrance to the Sacred Beast Sect.
The moment they entered the Holy Beast Cult, they were spotted by several members of the Holy Beast Cult.
"Who are you people? What are you doing here?"
A member of the Holy Beast Cult, dressed in a dark blue robe, looked at Xiao Chen and his companions and said, "After all, members of the Holy Beast Cult receive ceremonial robes from the cult. I wonder where Tang Xiaolong got so many robes."
However, it still deserves praise; it's quite beautiful.
Xiao Chen ignored them and instead looked at Lin Yichen and spoke.
"Now is the time for you to make your move."
Without hesitation, Lin Yichen stepped forward and waved her hands. In an instant, countless frosts drifted in from outside the cave and swept towards the dozens of Holy Beast Cult members!
The moment they were engulfed by the frost, their bodies were completely frozen by the terrifying ice, and they died instantly.
Even the most naive Holy Beast Cult members knew that the three in front of them were definitely looking for trouble, so they charged towards Lin Yichen and her companions without hesitation. Several other Holy Beast Cult members shouted, "Enemy attack!"
At this moment, Qin Bajiao took out several crystal core bombs from her pocket and threw them directly into the crowd. They landed in the crowd and were detonated after a short time.
The terrifying power killed more than 20 believers on the spot and seriously injured more than 30 others.
"Damn it! Who are you people? Our Holy Beast Sect has no grudge against you, why are you so relentlessly attacking us!"
One of the Holy Beast cultists said angrily, but his own body had been blown to pieces by the crystal core bomb.
"No enmity or hatred? It's all just cause and effect. It's just to sever the karmic ties between you, the Holy Beast Sect, and me."
Xiao Chen shook his head and said coldly and listlessly, "The Divine Guards attacked him, that was the cause, and his destruction of the entire Holy Beast Sect was the effect. The Holy Beast Sect brought this evil upon itself!"
"What!"
He never expected Xiao Chen to say such a thing, and he was so enraged that he died of anger.
"I'm leaving this place to you. Go find their leader!"
Xiao Chen looked at Lin Yichen and Qin Bajiao to the side and said that they would naturally not refuse. Xiao Chen disappeared in an instant and headed towards the Sect Master's Hall.
"What has surrounded our Holy Beast Cult?"
After hearing the inspector's words, Tang Xiaolong's expression turned grim. Clearly, being surrounded was beyond his comprehension, but in order to maintain his leader's composure, Tang Xiaolong pretended to be calm.
"Don't rush this matter. Let's send out a few divine guards to observe first. After all, the appearance of mysterious objects is never out of thin air."
Tang Xiaolong quickly gave the order, and the very next second after he gave the order, a member of the Holy Beast Cult barged in. Tang Xiaolong's expression darkened when he saw the man enter.
"Didn't I say that you are not allowed to enter my palace unless it is absolutely necessary? If you do enter and don't give me a reasonable explanation, then I'll just capture you and feed you to the sacred beasts!"
Although the sacred beast was captured, Tang Xiaolong still fed it regularly to ensure it didn't starve.
"Master, something terrible has happened! Three people have come from outside, and they've killed almost all of our brothers!"
The other person was panting heavily and it took them a while to catch their breath before they quickly spoke.
"What!"
Upon hearing this news, Tang Xiaolong couldn't sit still any longer. He stood up abruptly and said angrily.
"Damn it, where are the Divine Guardians? Go and kill them! I want to tear them to pieces!"
At that moment, a flippant voice came from not far away.
"Oh, I'll stand right here and see what you can do to me!"
The crowd was drawn to the sound and looked up. They saw a young man who had appeared at some point in the place where the Holy Beast Cult members had come from.
It was Xiao Chen.
The moment the Holy Beast Cultist saw Xiao Chen, he couldn't help but tremble.
"It's him, Master! He's one of those three!"
"Stop it!"
Xiao Chen frowned slightly, then flicked his finger, severing the opponent's body with a burst of spiritual energy. This bloody scene did not evoke any fear in Tang Xiaolong; instead, it aroused his curiosity.
"Oh, kid, you're a superhuman too? I've changed my mind. If you join my Holy Beast Cult, I'll forgive and forget what happened before! Plus, I can give you anything you want!"
After realizing that Xiao Chen might be a superhuman, Tang Xiaohu extended an olive branch to him. In his view, some believers were just ordinary people and far less important than superhumans.
"Oh, give me everything I want? Are you sure you have the ability?"
Xiao Chen looked at the other party with a half-smile, while Tang Xiaolong said with a confident expression.
"Not bad, kid. If you join my Holy Beast Cult, I'm not exaggerating when I say that I can even get you nuclear weapons if you want them!"
Tang Xiaolong said confidently that under these circumstances, acquiring nuclear weapons is not a very difficult thing.
"In that case, how about you give me your Tribulation Transcending stage cultivation and I'll become your subordinate?"
Xiao Chen laughed loudly, but Tang Xiaolong frowned as well. What exactly was the Tribulation Transcending Stage? Cultivation level? Could it be the level of a superhuman?
"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. To tell you the truth, don't you want to know why I attacked your Holy Beast Cult?"
Xiao Chen finally spoke, which piqued Tang Xiaolong's interest, since he was quite certain that he hadn't provoked Xiao Chen.
"You should have sent some divine guards to Hangzhou, right? I'm sorry, they've messed with me. And I even saw the deaths of your brother's wife and your son."
As Xiao Chen finished speaking, Tang Xiaolong's face darkened visibly.
"Boy, if you had joined my Holy Beast Cult before, there might have been a sliver of hope, but now, I'm sorry, you are doomed!"
After learning that Xiao Chen had killed his son, Tang Xiaolong immediately realized that he and Xiao Chen were now sworn enemies.
Thinking of this, Tang Xiaolong took the initiative to strike. He swung his arm, and the next second, a ball of scorching flame shot out from his hand and swept towards Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen was somewhat surprised to see that Tang Xiaolong was also a superhuman, and a fire-type superhuman at that, but he thought that Tang Xiaolong was just a superhuman and no match for him.
Tang Xiaolong's fire ability might be strong, but it was no match for the speed of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. In the blink of an eye, Xiao Chen disappeared from Tang Xiaolong's sight.
Tang Xiaolong was so fast that he only saw Xiao Chen disappear after being engulfed by flames. He thought he had killed Xiao Chen and became excited.
"Kid, this is what happens when you go against my Holy Beast Sect. Be careful next time!"
Tang Xiaolong said with a ferocious expression. It was obvious that Tang Jian was his offspring, and Zhao Xiaohua's figure made him linger. Although there were so many women in the Holy Beast Sect, Zhao Xiaohua was the one who made Tang Xiaolong feel the most. He didn't know if it was because his idol was a certain person surnamed Cao.
Just when Tang Xiaolong was full of confidence that Xiao Chen was doomed, Xiao Chen's voice came from the side.
Oh, you seem very happy!
