CHAPTER 281: CHAPTER 205: A PERFECT AMBUSH_2

The Five Elements Sword Sect already dominates this world, and it is evident that the Eight-direction Water Dragon Array is most suitable on the water surface.

The only array formation, Small Knife was naturally familiar with it, and breaking it wasn’t difficult.

Around here, besides the array banner in the hands of that high-level Qi Cultivator serving as the array hub, there must be seven other banners as the array base.

By breaking one, it would reduce one water dragon.

With one less, these water dragons cannot form a water dragon at the middle stage of Qi Cultivation.

From the directions in which the water dragons condense and appear, Small Knife could basically determine the approximate positions of the other seven array bases.

However, the three individuals before him naturally wouldn’t let Small Knife destroy the array bases.

But Small Knife didn’t hastily make a move, he coldly watched them.

And these three seemed not to be in a hurry either, instead saying nonsense about surrendering to Small Knife.

In the sky, eight water dragons paired and combined.

Qi Cultivation Second Layer, four of them, nearly twice as large.

Qi Cultivation Third Layer, two of them, expanding by fifty percent more.

Finally, they combined into a water dragon at the middle stage of Qi Cultivation, yet it shrank instead, appearing almost lifelike and vivid.

Small Knife hadn’t made a move yet, but he silently landed on the water surface.

"Foolish, letting you fall on the water surface, do you really think you can escape underwater?" scoffed the high-level elder of Qi Cultivation.

"This is your last chance to surrender."

"We’re not interested in your life or death, just in riches."

Two sixth-layer Qi Cultivators cooperated and said.

"Afraid of revenge from the forces behind me?" Small Knife sneered.

"Exactly, this is your chance to live, but there’s no need to reveal who’s behind you, forcing us to silence you would be pointless." Said the seventh-layer Qi Cultivator.

Feeling the movement beneath the water, Small Knife’s expression changed.

"You understand now, right! There is another set of Eight-Direction Water Dragon Array under the water, a water dragon at the middle stage of Qi Cultivation, although it only has one strike of power, it isn’t the combat strength of a cultivator, at least enough to instantly kill a mid-stage Qi Cultivator, breaking through your intermediate defense artifact is already sufficient."

"How about this preparation?"

As he spoke, the seventh-layer Qi Cultivator waved his hand.

Underwater, the water currents surged, and a water dragon swam, deliberately exposing its form.

It looked almost real, at the middle stage of Qi Cultivation.

"Make a decision, this is your last chance," said the seventh-layer Qi Cultivator impatiently.

With the two grand arrays above and below, the target sandwiched in between, this power could already kill a high-level Qi Cultivator.

Even an intermediate one, with a middle-grade defense artifact, would undoubtedly die.

The group in front was actually led by an inner sect disciple of the Water Element Sect, a trusted disciple, while he was an elder of the outer sect.

It was he who noticed this person dared to recklessly come out when he was on duty.

Now, this person was a hot topic within the Water Element Sect, who didn’t know he carried a treasure?

The disciples sent forward failed, and he was only after wealth, unwilling to personally kill to avoid detection by the forces behind him.

After all, clues couldn’t be hidden, such matters couldn’t withstand investigation.

Yet, facing the middle-grade defense artifact, he was reluctant to give up, having to take the gamble.

"You shouldn’t have given me time; this time I’ve taken a huge loss." Small Knife suddenly smiled, reaching out to take a small water-blue pot, adorned with vivid blue crows; indeed, it was the Water Crow Pot.

A special kind of low-grade magical artifact.

"This is!"

Though its strength couldn’t be discerned, the elder still didn’t hesitate to wave the small flag in his hand.

The middle-stage Qi Cultivation water dragon hovering above immediately roared and rushed toward Small Knife.

As actions commenced here, the underwater middle-stage Qi Cultivation water dragon also roared and charged toward Small Knife.

Attacked from above and below, extremely decisive.

Even so, the elder still waved his hand, and two spirit talismans shot out.

The two sixth-layer Qi Cultivators also separately launched talisman attacks.

Clearly, it was meant to kill decisively.

This time, he poured the full might of his family into it, ensuring absolute security.

There would absolutely not be a mistake.

If only he could obtain the middle-grade artifact, along with the family’s resources, he could exchange it for that Foundation Establishment Pill.

However, he was unwilling to spare any price because the family’s ancestor had a shortage of lifespan.

The ancestor at the peak of Qi Cultivation wanted to risk it all; as the family head, he had no choice.

But as long as he succeeded, it didn’t matter who was behind him, he wouldn’t fear them.

The sect’s investigation could also be resolved.

Here, Small Knife naturally made his move too.

The imposing momentum of the oncoming water dragons made him realize that even the fully driven Golden Bell could block only one.

The other, he couldn’t withstand.

With his strength, he couldn’t use too many artifacts simultaneously.

So, use the strongest one.

Splash!

From within the Water Crow Pot, a large number of water-blue crows emerged, each vividly detailed and over two meters tall, very beautiful yet all transparent, made entirely of water.

Exerting full power, over a hundred water crows were released.

Under normal circumstances, using regular water, they were at most at the Hundred Level, unable to withstand even a single middle-stage Qi Cultivation water dragon.

After all, they were Mortal Level.

But now, the aura each of these hundred water crows emitted reached the peak of the third layer of Qi Cultivation.

Indeed, just so, the Water Crow Pot was both weak and strong.

Now it was in its strongest state.

For this, Small Knife consumed over a hundred drops of spirit water, all at the entry level.

Once the water crows came out, they sprayed water arrows from their mouths, each at entry-level spell level.

"Ah!"

The middle-stage Qi Cultivation water dragon charging with momentum shrank slightly upon being hit.

After being attacked by more than ten water arrows in succession, it dissolved into nothingness.

This was the case for both the water dragon below and above.

As long as one was willing to consume spirit stones, it would take less than an incense stick of time for the two arrays to condense two more middle-stage Qi Cultivation water dragons, capable of killing a mid-stage Qi Cultivator; this was the strength of the array.

But now.

"Escape!" The seventh-layer elder was utterly stunned, his face filled with disbelief.

Yet the old fellow, rich in experience, immediately turned and fled with sword control.

His reaction was incredibly fast; he didn’t even have time to use a defense talisman, channeled all his spiritual power desperately into his flying sword, just to gain a little extra speed.

However, at least twenty water arrows were already shooting towards him.

Because Small Knife had long been guarding against his escape.

Screams echoed.

Small Knife looked regretful, a high-level Qi Cultivator just died like that, such a waste.

The others couldn’t be let go like that.

As for the slightly slower-responding two sixth-layer cultivators, although they were in a mess, they were still alive at the time.

They had already lost the chance to escape.

Surrounded by water crows, they fell into despair.

Mist quickly dissipated because the array formation was broken.

In the sky, on the water surface, beneath the water, there were nearly twenty to thirty figures desperately fleeing.

Obviously, they were originally even the array hubs of the formation.

These cultivators, with as many as eight possessing flying swords, indicated that these cultivators were not weak.

Unfortunately, it depended on who they were facing.

With a thought, a part of the water crows dispersed to pursue.

These cultivators, except those with flying swords, or with enough talismans, otherwise, one-on-one, no one could stand against the third-layer Qi Cultivation water crows.

At this moment, each had to face multiple water crows chasing them, especially those with flying swords, receiving more pursuit.

When the water crows acted, Small Knife knew there was no suspense; this speed, was definitely the peak of the early stage of Qi Cultivation.

If they didn’t possess the ability to escape at full speed during the middle stage of Qi Cultivation, they couldn’t escape them.

"Surrender and you won’t be killed, but trying to send out messages means certain death." Small Knife shouted loudly.

The cultivators blocked from the path were getting ready to fight desperately but hearing this voice, most immediately calmed down.

They couldn’t win even if they fought.

Struggling with summoned demon beasts? Was it worth it?

So soon, a number of cultivators, under the watchful eyes of the water crows, returned in shame.

Except for a few who were stubborn and got killed, the rest were all captured.

This Water Crow Pot was indeed a treasure; it didn’t consume much spiritual power, merely an inducement.

Unfortunately, a drop of entry-level spirit water summoned crows could only last for a day, and if the battle was fierce, this duration would be shortened.

Just now, a few crows that shot the most water arrows had already dropped to the second layer strength of Qi Cultivation, shrinking by a third.

But despite its flaws, Small Knife was very satisfied with its power.

The sect leader is such a nice person.

Of course, considering the value, the hundred-plus drops of spirit water consumed were worth more than this artifact Water Crow Pot.

It’s lavish in cost, only the best provisions can unleash sufficient power.
