Chapter 455: Chapter 233: Breaking the Array! Spare No One

Spiderweb-like cracks instantly covered the entire golden light shield. Then, under countless horrified gazes, it shattered with a deafening crash.

It disintegrated into a sky full of golden specks of light, like fireflies!

"Kill!!!"

Chen Sheng’s cold, merciless command echoed across the battlefield like a death sentence.

"Leave no one from Golden Spring Temple alive, not even the chickens and dogs!"

"AYE!!!"

A roar like a landslide and a tsunami erupted from the eight thousand troops at the foot of the mountain, their battle cries shaking the heavens.

Nie Xuanfeng was the first to charge, his target the pale-faced Daoist Qingxu outside the array.

The aura of his late-stage Profound Mastery cultivation erupted without reservation. He knew that only he could tie down the Qingfeng Temple Master.

"Die, Demon!"

Monk Kongjian, First Seat of the Golden Spring Temple’s Precepts Institute, roared, his eyes splitting with rage. His body transformed into a streak of Golden Light, lunging straight for Chen Sheng.

’To catch the bandits, one must first catch the king. If I can just kill this ringleader, we might be able to turn the tide of this battle.’

"Your opponent is us!"

Li Qianzhou and Lu Qingsong were already prepared. The glint of their blades and swords intertwined into a net, instantly intercepting Kongjian.

Wangqingshan also attacked from the flank. The three masters, all at the peak of the mid-stage Profound Mastery realm, combined their strength to forcefully pin down the late-stage Profound Mastery expert from the Buddhist Sect.

Monk Kongxu, the abbot of Golden Spring Temple, felt his heart seize with anxiety. ’The Grand Array is broken, Xuanming has fallen... all of this happened too quickly, too fatally!’

His gaze instantly locked onto the dark figure outside the array.

"You heretical demon, bringing chaos to this world! Today, this humble monk shall enact Heaven’s justice and send you on your way!"

Monk Kongxu held nothing back. The vast True Essence of his late-stage Profound Mastery, Divine Communication Realm cultivation erupted like a tsunami.

He took a single step forward, a phantom golden lotus platform materializing beneath his feet. As his robes billowed, a Heaven-Covering Buddha Palm began to condense in golden light above his head.

Its palm lines were as clear as ravines, and it pulsed with a brilliant Golden Light capable of suppressing demons. With the rumbling sound of wind and thunder, it descended upon Chen Sheng.

This strike, launched in a fury, was meant to smash him into dust.

"Hypocritical bald donkey, with your mouth full of compassion."

Unafraid, Chen Sheng let out a long cry. The qi and blood in his body churned like mercury, emitting a dull, thunderous sound.

His cultivation at the mid-stage Profound Mastery, Thunder Sound Realm, erupted in full force. Two distinct, sharp Mental Realms shot skyward, intertwining with one another.

Furthermore, wisps of demonic, scorching, crimson Nine Nether Yin Fire began to seep from his pores, causing the air temperature to plummet and then soar in a bizarre fashion.

"CLANG—!"

The Dragon Roar Blade at his waist was drawn, its body humming like a dragon’s roar in the highest heavens.

Chen Sheng gripped the blade with both hands and, facing the descending golden palm, unleashed a single, unadorned slash.

This single slash concentrated his powerful mid-stage Profound Mastery Gang Qi, the sharp will of his two Mental Realms, and the annihilating properties of the Nine Nether Yin Fire.

Where the blade-light passed, a ferocious, roaring Blood Dragon shadow suddenly appeared. Its scales and claws thrashed, its Evil Qi surged to the heavens. Baring its fangs, it charged upward to viciously slam into the brilliant golden palm.

"BOOM—!!!!"

The instant the blade and palm met, time itself seemed to freeze for a moment.

Immediately after, an indescribably terrifying explosion erupted in the sky above the gates of Golden Spring Temple.

The golden Buddha Light and the Blood Dragon shadow madly entangled, tore at, and annihilated one another.

The blinding light made it impossible to see. A violent aftershock suddenly spread out in a ring, and wherever it passed, sand and stones were sent flying, and roof tiles flew from the temple halls. Those with weaker cultivation were thrown from their feet.

The light gradually faded, and the aftershocks slowly subsided.

In the air, the Heaven-Covering Buddha Palm and the ferocious Blood Dragon had both vanished, leaving only chaotic Primordial Qi and lingering specks of golden and red embers drifting slowly down.

Chen Sheng stood holding his blade, his figure as steady as a rock. Only his robes whipped and snapped in the wind.

Monk Kongxu floated in mid-air, his face slightly pale. For the first time, his eyes betrayed an unconcealable shock and horror.

’That head-on clash... was a draw?!’

’A mere mid-stage Profound Mastery cultivator took my full-powered, rage-fueled palm strike head-on and came out completely unharmed?!’

’Just how terrifying is this young man’s strength?!’

It was not just Monk Kongxu; across the battlefield, every Profound Mastery expert who had witnessed the exchange felt their hearts tremble.

They could never have imagined that Chen Sheng had the power to fight a late-stage Profound Mastery expert like Monk Kongxu to a standstill.

Down below, when the eight-thousand-strong allied army saw this, their morale instantly surged to its peak.

"Kill!!!"

The true, bloody battle erupted amidst the lingering echoes of the shattered Golden Bell!
