Chapter 23: Instant Kill

Start from the beginning
                                    

He placed the dark blue crystal directly in the underground groove in front of the blood-red throne. Immediately, the array patterns on the ground lit up.

He Qingge's pupils flickered slightly. If he was not mistaken, this should be the core of the array.

It was the true core of the array. He did not expect it to be a crystal like this.

"Alright, I'll give you guys a break today."

Zhu Zheng looked at everyone with a smile.

"You're right. All of you will be relieved today."

At this moment, a crisp sound came from outside the room.

Xu Muqi took the lead and stepped into the room. He looked around with satisfaction. Very good! All of this would be his!

"Senior Brother!"

Zhu Zheng's pupils constricted, and he looked nervous. He did not expect someone to enter at this time.

"How did you find out?" Zhu Zheng quickly responded.

"Do you think I'll answer your question?"

Xu Muqi smiled disdainfully.

"Hahaha... Senior Brother, are you sure you can take me down?" Zhu Zheng suddenly laughed.

"Hmm, why do you think you still have the strength to resist?"

"You should understand the difference in strength between the Foundation Establishment Realm and the Qi Refinement Realm. You can't resist me at all."

Although Xu Muqi said this, his figure suddenly appeared in front of Zhu Zheng. He stretched out his hand, wanting to subdue him.

However, just as his palm was about to touch Zhu Zheng, it was suddenly blocked by an invisible barrier.

A level-two high-grade protection talisman!

The sudden attack did not have any effect.

Xu Muqi reacted very quickly. In an instant, he took out his magic tool. The level-two magic tool instantly flashed with a cold light and slashed out.

He Qingge heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhu Zheng was not taken down immediately.

Only if they were evenly matched would he have a greater chance of escaping this place.

If one of them directly crushed the other, then the possibility of him escaping would be much slimmer.

"Senior Brother, you should know that this is my home ground. You shouldn't have come here. Leave me now and pretend that nothing happened."

Zhu Zheng did not look afraid at all. As he spoke, he activated the entire array formation of Beacon City.

The array formation that could envelop the entire Beacon City had already reached level two of the highest grade.

Even if someone at the peak of Foundation Establishment Realm came here, Zhu Zheng would not be afraid.

Arrays and talismans were quite magical things. As long as they were given sufficient time to prepare, cultivators in the low realms could fight against cultivators in the high realms.

Countless thick chains flew toward Xu Muqi. They looked aggressive and dangerous.

The chains were as thick as He Qingge's thighs, but they were extremely agile. They were like snakes as they bit toward Xu Muqi.

There were also some chains that remained firmly in front of Zhu Zheng, forming a protective barrier.

It could be said to be both offensive and defensive.

Xu Muqi's eyes flickered slightly, and his speed increased even more. He seemed to pass through the middle without any intention of resisting the chains.

In an instant, he had already arrived in front of Zhu Zheng. The thick chains collided head-on, but nothing happened.

Zhu Zheng was quite shocked as his figure retreated explosively.

However, he was only at the peak of the Qi Refinement Realm, and there was a huge difference between him and Xu Muqi, who was at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Xu Muqi's level-two magic tool was very powerful. It instantly shattered Zhu Zheng's protective talisman. The thick chains of the magic array were like phantoms in front of his magic tool. They did not hinder him at all. Under the cold light, blood instantly dyed the entire place red.

Instant kill!

Zhu Zheng's body fell to the ground. He died with his mouth agape and eyes wide open.

Even in death, he did not know why his array was ineffective against Xu Muqi. It could not even block his attacks.

This was a high-grade level-two array. Even a late-stage Foundation Establishment Realm expert could not easily dodge the attack and break through the defense.

However, his senior brother, who was only at the mid-stage Foundation Establishment Realm, was actually able to dodge his array attack.

Was it reasonable? This was obviously unreasonable.

"Since I know your plan, how could I not act in advance? It's not your array." Xu Muqi put away the magic tool in his hand and smiled.
