SWNOVELXO Chapter 715: Merely a False Saint
The eight-level Trapping and Killing Divine Array was activated, but Thick Trace God Emperor landed beside Ding Huan with a sneer:
"Brother Ding Huan, don't worry, this guy is not a Saint, just a pseudo-saint. He's not worth mentioning. When I was at my peak, I was stronger than him."
Mere exchange of blows, and Thick Trace God Emperor was certain that Great Emperor Ku Yuan was not a Saint.
He had seen real Saints, like Saint Luo Xu and Saint Qingluan, such powerful beings. He was sure that if any of them were here, they'd slap this so-called Great Emperor Ku Yuan to death with ease.
Great Emperor Ku Yuan's heart skipped a beat when he heard Thick Trace God Emperor's words.
He had long known that he was not a Saint, not even a pseudo-saint.
His desire for the Divine Spirit Rice was to see if he could step out of this pseudo-saint realm and prove the true path to sainthood.
"Let's not move; this is an eight-level Trapping and Killing Divine Array." As Ding Huan activated the eight-level Divine Array, Buddha Master Pi Yuan transmitted a message to Suo Gu Venerable beside him.
The level of this eight-level Trapping and Killing Divine Array was high; if they were careless, they might fall here.
Besides, this battle was not instigated by him. As long as Ding Huan didn't activate the Trapping and Killing Divine Array against them, they had no reason to get involved.
Whether the outcome of Ding Huan's hard confrontation with Great Emperor Ku Yuan or not, their Buddha Country would be the ultimate beneficiaries.
Not only did Buddha Master Pi Yuan and Suo Gu Venerable remain still, but Wuzha also did not move. Instead, he stepped back several paces and stood at the door, ready to leave at any moment.
As for helping Great Emperor Ku Yuan deal with Ding Huan, haha, what benefit would he gain?
Ding Huan sneered at the scene, finding it extremely pitiful that Ku Yuan, as the Holy Master of the Dao Court, had ended up in such a state.
The Dao Court included not just the Buddha Country but also the Buddhist Sect, with enmity between them.
To make matters worse, besides tending his own small domain, nearly ninety percent of other influences were beyond his control.
"Lao Hou, you go deal with Bai Shao, Cold Daoist friend, you go deal with Yi Han. This so-called Great Emperor is mine."
As Ding Huan spoke, he summoned his long saber.
Looking at his unsightly long saber, Ding Huan sighed inwardly, realizing he indeed needed to reforge his Magical Treasure, but unfortunately, his flame wasn't up to the task.
Zhang Boyan, seeing that he wasn't assigned, sneered immediately.
Looking down on him as a quasi-saint? Then let them see.
Just as he thought of this, he saw Ding Huan's long saber already stirring up a curtain of swords, blasting towards Great Emperor Ku Yuan, while Ding Huan's voice echoed beside his ears:
"Zhang Boyan, you'd better find a way not to make a move; otherwise, I will inform Great Emperor Ku Yuan about your concealed cultivation.
You're clearly a Saint, hiding as a quasi-saint, and still a lousy one with poor Dao rhythm, haha, what are you aiming for?"
The newly summoned Zhang Boyan froze, then felt a chill down his spine.
What was he aiming for? He aimed to be the Master of the Dao Court.
How could Ding Huan know about this?
Great Emperor Ku Yuan saw Ding Huan, a mere Divine King, dared to attack him and chuckled with anger.
What was so remarkable about the eight-level Trapping and Killing Divine Array? He didn't bother to care.
A huge jet-black banner was summoned; it was his Magical Treasure, the Great Ruins Banner.
His Great Ruins Banner was not like others' banner-type Magical Treasures; it was both offensive and defensive.
The Great Ruins Banner was split into two.
One turned into a layer of flag shadow, protecting the space where a few Dao Court members were.
The other generated a massive black hole, where death energy lurked, seemingly to swallow Ding Huan along with his space into it.
But just as Great Emperor Ku Yuan's divine skills were deployed, he sensed something amiss.
The surrounding space became sluggish, and not only that, the diffusion of his Great Ruins Black Hole Dao rhythm slowed significantly.
Ding Huan was merely a Divine King. How could his domain be so strong?
The next moment, streaks of strangulation aura crisscrossed the void. Great Emperor Ku Yuan's face slightly changed, feeling a bit uncomfortable as he realized this was an eight-level Void Strangling Divine Array.
He had ignored the eight-level Trapping and Killing Big Array here because he was unafraid of such formations.
What he hadn't expected at all was that Ding Huan had activated not the visible eight-level Trapping and Killing Big Array, but the hidden eight-level Void Strangling Big Array in the void.
This was arranged using Void Array Patterns.
It's a completely different concept from the eight-level Trapping and Killing Big Array.
He had studied array patterns; however, he couldn't arrange such traceless void array patterns like Ding Huan, let alone fight him within such a grand array.
Fortunately, his Great Ruins Banner turned into a flag shadow to protect the space they were in; otherwise, without a fight, they would surely lose.
Boom!
The sword curtain and the divine rhythm of Great Ruins Banner clashed, shattering countless Dao rhythm fragments.
The already broken Eternal God Rest Tower now bore countless deep ravines amidst these Dao rhythm fragments.
Seeing this might, several cultivators who were still observing from afar hurriedly withdrew from the Eternal God Holy Dao City.
Ding Huan was blown away, spitting out a blood arrow in the void.
With just one move, Ding Huan realized that even if he fought with all his might, he wasn't a match for this pseudo-saint.
But this guy, one level stronger, was just perfect for him to practice his saber.
This was his eight-level Strangulation Trapping Array, and with a few others not making a move, why should he worry?
If those spectators make a move, then use the Trapping Array to trap them and crush the Teleportation Talisman to leave.
A dull groan echoed, and Ding Huan saw that Zhang Bowu, when blasting Ji Luo away, was hit by the sword curtain of the Strangulation Array, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
If it weren't for Ku Yuan Great Emperor's Grand Ruins Flag Shadow, he would have surely won this combat.
But this flag shadow protected the space where the opponent was located, greatly reducing the effect of the eighth-level Void Strangling Divine Array Pattern.
Zhang Bowu intentionally got hit by the Strangling Sword Pattern; otherwise, it would have been difficult to injure him.
Now that the opponent was injured just by repelling Ji Luo, it means that this guy listened to him and found an excuse to exert less effort.
Although suppressing Ding Huan, Ku Yuan Great Emperor faintly felt something was amiss.
His Divine Essence flowed not smoothly, and this was the space of the eighth-level Strangling Array; he could easily suppress Ding Huan but not kill him.
His Grand Ruins Flag Shadow protected his space while also restricting it.
Furthermore, Yi Han was now in grave danger.
Originally not the opponent of that woman, now still in the Strangulation Array, could be killed at any moment.
The Grand Ruins Flag Shadow could not protect all spaces.
As for Bai Shao, he was similarly at a disadvantage.
And Zhang Bowu, that useless thing, at least he is a Court Pillar, yet when dealing with a small Divine King, rushed out of the flag shadow range and got injured by the Strangulating Array.
"Biyuan Buddha Master, Wuzha fellow cultivator, at this moment we should work together. Please make a move, otherwise, are we not a laughingstock of the Dao Court that no one can be summoned to help..."
Seeing Ding Huan summon the long blade again, Ku Yuan Great Emperor could not care about anything else and could only invite Biyuan Buddha Master and Wuzha to intervene.
Even if they did not fight, as long as they could lock the array patterns here, it would be enough.
Originally thinking it was just an ordinary eighth-level Trapping and Killing Divine Array, Biyuan Buddha Master became even more reluctant to intervene upon seeing it was an eighth-level Strangling Array Pattern.
Honestly, at first, he also thought it was just an eighth-level Trapping and Killing Divine Array, and he didn't intervene only hoping to benefit as a bystander.
Now discovering the Strangling Array Pattern, how could he possibly make a move?
Someone on Ding Huan's side can set up such a Void Strangling Array Pattern, which means they won't be able to kill several opponents today.
If they cannot kill them, why offend them to help the Dao Court?
Moreover, standing here, the Strangulation Array Pattern hadn't activated against them.
If they made a move, it's estimated that the Strangulation Array Pattern would instantly lock onto them.
They aren't foolish to make a move at such a time?
The Grand Ruins Flag Shadow of Ku Yuan Great Emperor can mostly protect a few people of the Dao Court, not caring for them.
Yi Han's shrill screams came, and Ku Yuan knew Yi Han was heavily injured, losing heart for battle.
Ding Huan's long blade once again came slashing, falling as a Sword River in the Void due to the overlay of Ding Huan's Domain.
Ku Yuan Great Emperor couldn't afford to hold back, madly swirling the Grand Ruins Flag, and what it tore open was no longer a black hole, but an endless black abyss.
"Ding Huan, this is Dark Rule Divine Skill, be careful not to get caught in it, once in, there's no coming out, becoming the flag soul of his flag..."
Thick Trace God Emperor saw the dark abyss stirred by the Grand Ruins Flag and anxiously transmitted voice to Ding Huan.
Ding Huan was also stunned, not expecting this Ku Yuan Great Emperor to also be a cultivator of the Dark Technique; isn't this the Dark Law?
Using Dark Law Divine Skills against Ding Huan, he surely found the right person.
Ding Huan's Netherworld Saber Seal kept unceasingly slashing, the Sword River falling directly upon the endless dark abyss.
Crack!
As if something shattered, a gigantic crack appeared in the dark abyss before them.
Light returned to sight, countless Strangulation Sword Patterns blasted onto the Grand Ruins Flag Shadow, creating a fierce whirring.
Ku Yuan Great Emperor looked at Ding Huan in shock; his original intention was to subdue Ding Huan with this Dark Abyss Divine Skill.
Unexpectedly, this move was even less effective than his previous Divine Skill, almost having no impact on Ding Huan.
Clearly, Ding Huan also mastered the Dark Law, and from Ding Huan's understanding of the Dark Law, he seemed even more skilled.
Another shrill scream resounded, Ku Yuan Great Emperor saw Yi Han sliced in half, flying out.
Separated from the protection of the Grand Ruins Flag Shadow, the Strangulation Sword Patterns in the Void constantly shredded his body to pieces.
Ku Yuan Great Emperor no longer had the heart to fight with Ding Huan, rushing towards Yi Han's location.
Yi Han was someone who could sincerely serve him, he couldn't just die here.
"Puff, puff, puff!"
Clouds of blood mist exploded on Ku Yuan Great Emperor's body, those were also the Strangling Sword Patterns from the Strangling Divine Array.
Previously, when Ku Yuan Great Emperor fought with Ding Huan, the double protection of the Domain and the Grand Ruins Flag Shadow prevented these sword patterns from causing much harm to him.
Now, as he rushed towards Yi Han, the Strangulation Sword Patterns became uncontrollable.
"Mr. Ding, could we cease fire? The request you made earlier is not impossible to be considered." Ku Yuan Great Emperor, while trying to gather Yi Han's body, urgently asked Ding Huan for a truce.
He underestimated the combat power on Ding Huan's side, Bai Shao was at an absolute disadvantage; it was only a matter of time before he would be killed.
He thought he, a Saint, could easily crush a few ants.
Now he found that he, a Saint, couldn't do anything to Ding Huan, a little Divine King.
If it wasn't for the Grand Ruins Flag protecting the space, they might have all been killed by the Strangling Array already.
It's a pity that Biyuan Buddha Master who came with him was still unwilling to take the field.
