CHAPTER 472 KILLING SPREE

Outside of the Defense Array

The elders kept their heads down in fear and the other strong cultivators knelt on the ground with heavy

hearts.

"Have you done nothing for more than a month, you idiots? You still haven't found a way to save

Carey?

If he's still alive, you useless bastards will be imprisoned for one year. If he's dead, you will all face your

deaths as well! Humph!"

A middle-aged man in a grey robe glared at everyone.

"Vice master, we have no other choice. In order to protect Young Master Carey from being disturbed,

we set up the strongest Protection Domain. However, the man who sneaked in here was able to enter

by using a rule power blockade. We can't open it," an elder explained as he kept his head down.

"Bastard! Don't you know how to ask for help? Why didn't you tell me right away? If you make any petty

excuses again, I will kill you!"

The middle-aged man, Arnold Chi, was the vice master of the Red Inferno Sect and was Carey Chi's

uncle. His status was second to that of the master of the Red Inferno Sect.

All of the elders present dared not utter another word. There was a powerful array in the passage which

made it so that if the young master didn't come out, the other remaining elders and powerful disciples

couldn't enter. They thought it was pointless to tell this information to the vice master as it would have

made them look exceedingly incompetent.

In addition, once they informed others of the unfavorable situation, everyone in the Red Inferno Sect

would know that they had made an enormous blunder. They wouldn't be able to escape if the young

master was killed.

Needless to say, most of them thought it was preferable to escape rather than be punished if the young

master had been killed. None of them were unwavering and definitely foolish enough to inform the sect

and basically turn themselves in.

However, Arnold Chi had a strong rule cultivation base and thus could break through the Defense

Array.

He had some obligations to attend to outside the sect and had suddenly gone back two days ago.

When he received news that Carey was going to break through, he immediately rushed back and went

out of his way to see it for himself. He most certainly did not expect to find this situation upon his

arrival.

Arnold's cultivation base was nearly equal to that of the strongest elder, but he had mastered a basic

true rule which he inherited. So at present, his power had surpassed that elder.

What was the basic true rule?

If the completed true rule was compared to a big tree, the basic true rule was like the branches of this

tree. It could also be said it had all the same basic framework needed for the whole completed true

rule.

Once someone understood the basic true rule, they could essentially own the whole completed true

rule by working hard.

Although this was true, if the basic true rule was obtained through inheritance, it could not go any

further.

Even so, the true rule was very powerful, even the inferior true rule. And also, even the basic inferior

true rule was more powerful than the common superior rule formulas.

"Arnold!Come and help me! Hurry!"

A soul voice suddenly resounded inside Arnold's head as he was breaking the Defense Array around

the pool, startling him.

"Brother?

What's going on? Can you wait for a moment? I'm still dealing with Carey's situation right now," Arnold

immediately replied.

"You need to come quick! You have to be here within thirty seconds, or else—"

His brother's urgent voice was suddenly cut off.

A sense of unease swelled in his gut. His brother, the leader of the Red Inferno Sect, had been doing

closed-door cultivation and never would have contacted him in secret unless his life was under threat.

At that moment, Arnold realized that the defense array was Carey's life-saving recourse. If his hunch

was right that the impostor had taken control of it, he worried that Carey was already dead.

Hence, Arnold stopped his attempt to save Carey without hesitation and decided to go to his brother's

location. He came to the resolution that his brother's predicament was of more importance.

"The Defense Array is about to open. You need to search it once it opens. Find the intruder and kill

him," Arnold hurriedly commanded and then left by using a spatial teleportation skill.

If he did not use the teleportation skill, he would not be able to get to his brother in thirty seconds.

After Arnold had left, everyone collectively breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's hurry! Our young master may still be alive. Then we don't have to die!"

"What if... what if he's dead?" someone stammered out.

"The vice master had left in a hurry. He is not here right now, meaning if the young master has indeed

been killed, we are just going to have to survive with our own skills!" the strongest elder spoke out.

The connotation behind his words was terribly obvious—if they found that Carey was dead, they

needed to escape.

The only problem was, their souls contained evil skills. If they escaped, the master would activate those

evil skills to kill them. In the end, only those who had the ability to remove the evil skills from their souls

were the only ones who would be able to survive.

Boom!

The masters of rule cultivation began their last attacks. They very much hoped that Carey was still

alive, otherwise only a few people would survive even if they escaped.

Without Arnold's attacks, Darren began to execute his Spirit Power to support the defensive array.

However, he knew that the Defense Array could not last for long—he needed to release the other three

life-saving recourses.

The golden-armored martial artist and the powerful Killing Array were ready; Darren even held the

crystal ball in his hands.

There was a tremendously loud thud.

Countless runes exploded, flying freely in the air.

After the Defense Array was broken through, all of the powerful rule cultivators rushed in.

''Ah!''

Several rule cultivators were immediately smashed into pieces.

The golden-armored martial artist was lifeless, similar to a manipulated soldier. Therefore, attacks from

weaker rule cultivators could not hurt it.

It forged ahead and killed more than ten rule cultivators in the blink of an eye.

"Damn it! We can't possibly defeat this lifeless martial artist at this rate!"

one of the rule cultivators exclaimed, whose power was second only to that of the elders. His arms

suddenly started to spin wildly as they grew longer and larger.

"Shackle the armored martial artist!" he bellowed. All of the rule cultivators then used all kinds of rule

formulas to shackle the martial artist.

In a flash, the strong rule cultivator's high-speed rotating arms pierced the golden-armored martial

artist's chest, destroying its crystal core. The golden-armored martial artist fell to the ground in an

instant.

"Come on!"

The rule cultivators of the Red Inferno Sect started to dash in once again.

"Oh no! That was a Killing Array! It was stronger than the one in the passage!"

Several other rule cultivators were killed by the hundreds of weapons from the Killing Array.

Only fifteen out of the hundred rule cultivators were still left alive.

Darren's eyes flashed in excitement as he hid behind the Killing Array. He could not help but marvel at

how powerful it was.

Many of rule cultivators that were killed could defeat a first stage three-star martial artist grand warrior.

The fifteen rule cultivators, including the five elders, inched backwards in shock. A moment later, they

seemed to be forming a strange but powerful array.

"If we want to break his array we need to attack its center and crush the crystal core of the rule power,"

the strongest elder stated.

Numerous runes came flying towards the center of the Killing Array, making it tremble.

"He's a worthy and powerful rule cultivator. The Killing Array's greatest weakness is in the very center

of the array. If they break it, they can without a doubt enter," Darren murmured to himself, eyebrows

furrowing as he scowled.

The Killing Array was immensely powerful, but its weakness could easily be discovered. If the Killing

Array was combined with the Illusion Array and the Restriction Array, it had the potential to be the

strongest array.

The ground suddenly shook.

The rest of the rule cultivators were finally able to break down the Killing Array.

"I guess it's time to use the crystal ball. I wonder how strong the soul of the master of the Red Inferno

Sect is? Can it kill the rest of the rule cultivators?" Darren then made preparations to execute his last This material belongs to .

defense.

"Kaleb, do you hear the voice of rule cultivators? I think I hear them!"

At that moment, Darren heard Carey's voice.

"Damn it! The young master of the Red Inferno Sect has woken up! What should I do if he starts to

attack the rule cultivators himself?" Darren's heart was starting to be filled with apprehension. If Carey

somehow managed to contact the rule cultivators, his lie would be exposed.
