Chapter 1607 - Stubbornly Defending the Grand Array

The Crimson Lightning Sect was here for the Rolling Thunder Mountain Manor.

The eyeballs of the citizens trembled when they realized where the Crimson Lightning Sect’s people were heading. No one had imagined the confrontation would erupt here.

When did the Rolling Thunder Mountain Manor offend them?

Compared to this behemoth, the Deng Clan was nothing, mere insects that could be crushed at any moment.

Now that the Crimson Lightning Sect had come for the Rolling Thunder Mountain Manor, even if they had grown several times stronger over the last two years, they would still be easily overpowered.

Would the overlords of Guangyuan City face destruction today? Had the manor that had risen like a blazing comet finally reached the moment it would crash and burn?

No one dared to step in.

Rumble!

The Crimson Lightning Sect’s experts advanced like an army of divine chariots, their auras surging and oppressive, warping the void and shaking space itself. In a few breaths, they were already suspended above Rolling Thunder Mountain Manor.

Indeed!

The crowd’s pupils contracted violently, seeing them stop in front of the Rolling Thunder Mountain Manor.

Their target was unmistakable.

It’s over.

The Rolling Thunder Mountain Manor was done for this time.

Two years ago, in the face of the Deng Clan’s challenge, the Rolling Thunder Mountain Manor had made a comeback with Chen Fan’s help and seized victory from the jaws of defeat, ultimately destroying the Deng Clan.

No one ever caught a glimpse of Chen Fan again over the following two years. And even if he were still alive, few believed he could stand against the Crimson Lightning Sect.

Leading the Crimson Lightning Sect’s group was their sect leader, Xue Da. To his left was the haughty Fairy Crimson Lightning, and to his right were the two seventh-level Immortal Platform realm vice sect leaders. Behind them was a group of Immortal Platform realm experts.

This was not an army assembled for battle; it was an execution squad.

Yet the moment they arrived, their expressions shifted. A vast curtain of golden light enveloped the entire Rolling Thunder Mountain Manor, radiating powerful fluctuations. Xue Da’s eyes narrowed sharply, killing intent flickering within them.

“So they were ready,” he said coldly.

“Crimson Lightning Sect’s—”

Gongsun Jing stood in the air, looking at the Crimson Lightning Sect’s people through the golden light barrier. He opened his mouth, intending to de-escalate, to negotiate, even to offer compensation in exchange for survival.

Xue Da cut him off without a shred of patience.

“Save your nonsense. It’s useless even if you beg for mercy. My Crimson Lightning Sect came here today to wipe out your Rolling Thunder Mountain Manor! You dared to offend my daughter. You even killed the elders of my sect. Even the Heavenly King can’t save you from annihilation today.”

Xue Da’s domineering voice rang out like thunder, booming in the crowd’s ears.

Only then did the people of Guangyuan City fully understand the reason behind this calamity.

It turned out that the people of the Rolling Thunder Mountain Manor had offended Fairy Crimson Lightning and even killed their elders. Such audacity bordered on madness.

Xue Da stood proudly in the air. His imposing figure contained terrifying power. Even with the Eight Gates Golden Light Array, Gongsun Jing still felt an oppressive force seeping through, suffocating him.

Meanwhile, the people of the Rolling Thunder Mountain Manor, sitting in the eye of the Eight Gates Golden Light Array, also turned pale with fright.

Hearing about the events that had transpired in the Chaotic Demon Sea two years ago was one thing. Facing the Crimson Lightning Sect at their gates was another entirely.

Xue Da stood with his hands at his back, looking at Gongsun Jing with an indifferent gaze, and said, “Open the array, and I can give you a quick death. Otherwise, you will have to endure some hardship when the formation breaks. Don’t think that this Eight Gates Golden Light Array can stop me. It’s useless.”

The corner of Gongsun Jing’s mouth twitched. After a while, he said, “I’m willing to offer up my life to atone for our sins. I only ask that you, sirs from the Crimson Lightning Sect, show mercy on the rest of the mountain manor. They’re all innocent.”

“Innocent?” Xue Da sneered coldly upon hearing this. Wearing a look of mockery, he continued, “No one in this world is innocent. If you have to blame, you can only blame the fact that they were born with an ill fate to be members of the Rolling Thunder Mountain Manor.

“Enough talk. Since we’re here, annihilation is inevitable. I’ll give you three breaths. Open the formation yourself, or face my wrath.”

“Three!

“Two!

Gongsun Jing’s eyes shone with a fierce glint.

Crimson Lightning Sect, how overbearing of them!

“Activate the formation with all your strength!” Gongsun Jing shouted as law power erupted from him. Being the most important eye of the formation, he was the key to whether they could withstand the Crimson Lightning Sect’s assault.

Obviously, asking him to go out and face Xue Da and the others head-on would be no different from throwing his life away. So, they could only guard the Eight Gates Golden Light Array to the end.

If they wanted the formation opened, they would have to tear it apart themselves.

Boom, boom!

Instantly, the Eight Gates Golden Light Array erupted with blinding golden light, dyeing half the sky golden.

“One!”

Icy killing intent flashed in Xue Da’s eyes. He said, “It seems that you intend to resist until the end. Truly, you refuse to be convinced until you are faced with the grim reality. If you had eight fifth-level Immortal Platform realm experts holding up this formation, I might hesitate. But with your strength...”

He did not finish his sentence.

Boom!

A thick, immortal mark manifested from him, shining. It contained incredibly terrifying power. His eighth-level Immortal Platform realm aura swept out overwhelmingly, causing heaven and earth to change colors.

He threw out a punch, and a terrifying fist smashed toward the Eight Gates Golden Light Array.

Thump!

The Eight Gates Golden Light Array’s golden light barrier caved in instantly from the impact. The golden light flickered violently, emitting creaking noises.

“

Uagh

!”

At the eight cardinal points, the cultivators anchoring the formation felt as if a mountain had struck them. Several first-level Immortal Platform experts vomited blood on the spot.

As for those in the second and third-level Immortal Platform realm, they let out groans, and fresh blood seeped out of the corners of their mouths.

Only Gongsun Jing fared slightly better, letting out a groan. He swayed slightly, and his complexion paled.

“

Hmph

, let’s see how many of my punches you people can endure!”

A fierce glint shone in Xue Da’s eyes, not expecting the Eight Gates Golden Light Array to withstand his punch. It seems like he had underestimated it.

It didn’t matter, however. Even if it could withstand one punch, what about ten punches? A hundred punches?

Although the Rolling Thunder Mountain Manor had many Immortal Platform realm experts, they were weak. Aside from Gongsun Jing, there wasn’t anyone who really stood out.

Thinking of relying on numbers to support the Eight Gates Golden Light Array to block him out? Was that even possible?

“Hold the fort! We must hold the fort!” roared Gongsun Jing.

Boom, boom, boom!

Instantly, Xue Da unleashed several punches in a row.

“

Uagh, uagh, uagh

...”

The Eight Gates Golden Light Array shook violently, withstanding the extremely terrifying force, which was dispersed onto Gongsun Jing and the others, making it as if they had received heavy blows.

“I can’t hold on anymore!”

“Me neither.”

Immediately, some who had only recently broken through to the Immortal Platform realm screamed in pain and fainted, bleeding from their seven orifices.
