Chapter 790 - 784: Gathering the Power of the Returning Ruins to Block Wa Huang

Wa Huang was indeed infuriated by the shameless rules of the fat old man. She glared at the fat old man in front of her and sneered, "Do you really think that your nonsense array and ridiculous rules can defeat me?"

"Even with scheming tactics, none of you could ever be my match."

"Can you people really stop me?"

"Today, I will kill Lin Yuan. Anyone who protects him shall die."

From Wa Huang’s current attitude, it was clear she was determined to see Lin Yuan dead.

No one could stop her.

The fat old man feigned calm and said, "You should know that in the past, Lin Yuan and the Demon Lord fought a fierce battle within my Returning Ruins Arena, and eventually, Lin Yuan nearly killed the Demon Lord."

"As one of the Four Great Primordial Spirits, even though you are stronger than the Demon Lord, you are not invincible."

"My Returning Ruins Arena was able to handle the Demon Lord back then, and it can handle you now!"

The fat old man appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, he was very anxious.

Times have changed.

Back then, the fat old man did not personally enter the arena during Lin Yuan’s battle with the Demon Lord.

He was merely maintaining the rules of the Returning Ruins Arena.

Lin Yuan was able to defeat the Demon Lord because Lin Yuan was truly formidable, a peerless fighter of his rank.

Even the fat old man’s true form, at Lin Yuan’s level, would certainly not be Lin Yuan’s match.

Moreover, the Demon Lord at that time was entangled by the Power of Cause and Effect, and was simply having a streak of bad luck.

Lin Yuan managed to defeat and severely injure the Demon Lord during that period, partly due to luck.

But the situation now is different. Lin Yuan is truly peerless in his rank, but the fat old man is not!

Under the restrictions of the Returning Ruins Arena, Lin Yuan could defeat the Demon Lord, but it does not mean the fat old man can defeat Wa Huang.

Furthermore, Wa Huang is not entangled by the Power of Cause and Effect now, and she can exert her full strength.

Though the fat old man showed a façade of not being afraid of Wa Huang, deep down he was uncertain.

The fat old man was uncertain in his heart, and Wa Huang was equally uncertain.

She knew of the battle between the Demon Lord and Lin Yuan in the Returning Ruins Arena.

However, Wa Huang only knew of the event, not the specifics.

Wa Huang did not know the role the fat old man played when Lin Yuan defeated the Demon Lord in the arena, nor what role Wa Huang herself played.

Both sides were unwilling to retreat, and neither dared to make a move.

For a time, they were locked in a stalemate for a long period.

A stalemate?

A stalemate is good!

A prolonged stalemate was exactly what the fat old man wanted.

The longer the stalemate continued, the more satisfied the fat old man became.

The fat old man’s goal was never to defeat Wa Huang or drive her away.

From the start, his plan was to delay Wa Huang and buy more time for Lin Yuan to enter the deepest part of the Returning Ruins, merge with the mysterious array, and control the Returning Ruins.

As long as Lin Yuan can become the Lord of Gui Xu and control it, Wa Huang would not be a major threat in his eyes.

As they say, one family’s joy is another’s sorrow!

While the stalemate satisfied the fat old man, it displeased Wa Huang.

Wa Huang was no fool; after such a long stalemate, she finally came to a realization.

"Is he stalling for time?" Wa Huang muttered in her heart.

Then, Wa Huang realized a crucial issue.

That is, the fat old man is definitely not as strong as he claims.

If the fat old man had confidence in stopping her, why would he resort to stalling?

Besides, while the fat old man could afford to stall, Wa Huang could not!

Firstly, Wa Huang did not know Lin Yuan’s true purpose for entering the Returning Ruins.

Nor did she know what she would face once Lin Yuan achieved his goal.

Moreover, she must kill Lin Yuan; if she doesn’t kill him and leave Returning Ruins, the Demon Lord Buddha outside won’t let her escape, and she will be trapped in the Returning Ruins for life.

Although Wa Huang doesn’t know Lin Yuan’s purpose for entering the Returning Ruins.

Wa Huang knows she must kill Lin Yuan before he achieves his goal.

If it was one in difficulty to kill Lin Yuan before his goal was achieved.

Then, once Lin Yuan achieved his goal, the difficulty would be ten.

Wa Huang knew how to choose.

After sorting through these thoughts, Wa Huang relaxed her furrowed brow, glanced at the fat old man and the numerous Array Spirits beside him, and sneered, "Only a decrepit old man of Returning Ruins and a bunch of Void ants, you think you are worthy to be my enemies?"

"Fine, since you want to stop me, I will kill you all!"

"Making you vanish into thin air!"

After speaking, Wa Huang charged toward the fat old man and the Array Spirits of the Void Race.

Now within the Returning Ruins Arena, the fat old man had set three bizarre rules.

No using Magic Artifact.

No using force.

Fight using only the power of the physical body.

With these three rules, they were destined for close combat.

Seeing how these rules so disadvantaged Wa Huang, yet she still charged at them fiercely, the fat old man looked grim.

If fighting starts, being able to stall is good; if unable to stall, there’s really no choice.

"Lin Yuan, we’ve done all we can!"

"You, boy, need to hurry up!" The fat old man thought, then waved his hand instructing the Array Spirits of the Void Race, "Go together."

The Void Race people loathed Wa Huang deeply.

To them, Wa Huang once seemed unattainable.

Once upon a time, in the eyes of the Void Race people, Wa Huang was that dragon soaring in the sky.

While they were ants in the crevice.

But now, the ants had the qualification to duel with the dragon.

No matter the outcome of the battle with Wa Huang, for the Void Race people, just getting the chance to fight her was a dream come true.

The Void Race rushed forward, both to drain Wa Huang’s energy and to test her strength.

Fighting with only the power of the physical body, the strength of this power is crucial.

However, the fat old man’s rules could only set up this far.

The fat old man wished he could make a rule for Wa Huang to bind herself and fight them.

Sadly, it violated the basic rules of the Returning Ruins Arena, and could not establish such extreme rules.

Of course, with these three rules set by the fat old man, Wa Huang’s power was greatly restricted.

In such a severely limited state, if Wa Huang still managed to defeat the fat old man and the numerous Array Spirits embodied by the Void Race people, then it would indeed mean winning through skill.

In the span of a few words, the battle between both sides commenced.
