CHAPTER 492: CHAPTER 211 LATE_2

Prompt: The array has been completed and is currently in an activated state.

With a flick of the wrist, activate the Spirit Talisman.

The Spirit Talisman soared into the sky and disappeared from sight.

This is the Help Talisman.

When issued by a town of this level, the city will surely dispatch several Golden Core experts to rescue.

This Help Talisman, which only the Town Lord possesses, is in the hands of Small Knife.

Very normal.

With abundant wealth, everything else is not a problem.

"We’ve been discovered, such high alertness," said the middle-aged man outside the town, his expression changing.

However, the array is already completed.

Even though it’s been discovered, there’s no need to hide it; push it with all your might.

He infused the special white bone in his hand with Spiritual Qi.

Subsequently, Small Knife’s face changed, as the light in the sky rapidly dimmed.

The sound of alarm bells rang out.

From the Town Lord’s Mansion.

Most of the townsfolk had not yet noticed anything amiss, but hearing the alarm bells, their faces changed dramatically, and they quickly rushed towards their family compounds.

Damned demon spawn.

The terrifying demon calamity is upon us.

Screams came from all around.

The demon spawn’s village slaughter and town destruction has never ceased.

Though they have often been killed, with no small rewards given for it.

But the devastation by Demon Heaven has never stopped.

In a short time, the sky darkened, as if it were nightfall.

There are few ordinary people in the town, mostly those of extraordinary backgrounds, or the younger generation of families with potential, otherwise, they’d be in the villages.

Living in town represents the extraordinary.

But at this moment, those running have not yet reached their family compounds before their flesh began to melt off their bodies.

Running, they turned into skeletons and lost consciousness, attacking those around them.

"The Four Celestial Great Worlds aren’t skilled in arrays, yet even so, this is enough...!" Small Knife watched all this.

He did not make a move.

He stood in the courtyard.

At this time, the small courtyard and the Town Lord’s Mansion were linked together, covered by a Grand Array of pure defense.

The Little Knife Commerce Association’s stronghold is here.

The cultivators outside were also quickly coming, along with some seedlings from subordinate families.

They all understood that this was the safest place.

But those Family Heads, the Foundation Establishment powerhouses, mostly did not come over.

Because each family has many descendants and the places given by the Town Lord’s Mansion were limited.

So each of them returned to their family’s place in the town, activating array defenses.

As long as they can hold out until reinforcements arrive, they’ll be safe.

As for relying on the town’s own strength to defeat the invading demon spawn.

Don’t joke about it.

That joke is not funny at all.

As time elapsed, some martial artists also couldn’t withstand it, their bodies turning into skeletons and joining the attack on the living crew.

At this moment, chaos and slaughter reigned over the town.

The strength of these skeletons was only about half of what it was in life, but their truly terrifying aspect was that even if shattered and killed, they could absorb the surrounding death aura and the like and recombine, jumping back to life.

They are simply immortal and undying.

As such, those travelers on the roads thinking only of returning home were unwilling to be entangled by them, leading to more weak ones being killed.

The dead quickly had their flesh melt away, seemingly absorbed into their bones, then emerged back alive.

In a short time, there were fewer and fewer fleeing pedestrians on the road, and numerous skeletons appeared.

This was something unavoidable, although it’s called a small town, its area is actually quite large, and some homes are far away, making it not easy to get back.

With the effect of the array prohibiting flight, the outcome for those with low strength was predictable.

Very soon, houses and courtyards flared up with lights, forming various colors of light shields, protecting their family compounds.

But there were some Foundation Establishment powerhouses racing along the ground at supersonic speed, their expressions anxious, clearly looking for junior Qilin within their families.

As time passed, there were almost no pedestrians on the roads, only a great number of roaming skeletal beings.

Some roamed, others attempted to attack those compounds, occasionally being shattered to pieces, only to jump back and reform.

Small Knife did not intervene but silently observed, his face expressionless, with a hint of patterns running through the gaze.

Because at this time, only a small portion of his heart spirit was observing; the main portion was in his personal space.

In the unique Unity of Heaven and Man state of the personal space, he was using the entire space’s power to analyze this array.

Hoping to find a flaw.

Gradually, the entire small town became dead silent, with only the array defense glows marking the various family compounds, and skeletal beings roaming everywhere.

Even those Foundation Establishment cultivators could ultimately only reluctantly retreat to their compounds, with just a few successfully finding the juniors returning.

There were even unlucky ones who, despite having Foundation Establishment strength, were completely surrounded by a large number of skeletons, and in the end, were defiantly besieged and killed.

Moreover, all this was just the beginning.

When there were no more living people visible from outside.

Under Small Knife’s observation, the grayish grand array enveloping the entire sky began to change at the edges.

An ordinary person would likely not notice, but under Small Knife’s careful observation, the prompt sounded repeatedly.

Undetectable to the naked eye, negative energy was congregating at three points.

According to many years of experience, these were likely the three array hubs of this formation. To break the array, those three hubs must be broken.

If it hadn’t been activated, even relying on the system, Small Knife would’ve had difficulty locating these three hubs.

But the demon spawn don’t have much time, they will surely activate the grand array’s killing move.

Or move out themselves.

Clearly, now it is the array being activated.

Having found the three array hubs, Small Knife made his move.

Old tactics, applying tags.

Concealing Breath Talisman, Invisibility Talisman, Light Body Talisman...!

A Golden Core level is sufficient; if using a Nascent Soul level, they would be discovered, and the enemy would immediately flee.

Moreover, it would spread this impossible event everywhere, which doesn’t align with the low-profile way of the Little Knife Commerce Association.

The bone rolled, as surging negative energy visible to the naked eye infused it.

This bone was from that unfortunate one, the besieged Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Now, only the bone was left.

Under the infusion of a large amount of negative energy, the bone began to turn black, thickening, and trembled.

Then, seemingly because too much had been infused, it couldn’t contain it and exploded suddenly.

The fragments splattered everywhere.

Shattering a large number of skeletons automatically gathered nearby.

A large swath of skeletons twitched.

The splintered bone actually merged into these bones.

These bones jumped, starting to thicken and darken.

Some couldn’t hold and exploded, others seemed to endure, attracting a large number of surrounding bones to merge.

A cycle of shattering and reorganizing.

Until a gigantic skeleton, seven to eight meters high, emerged, with three heads and six arms, with black flames burning atop.

It strode forward, driven by an instinctive hostility towards living creatures.

Bang.

A punch struck the nearest array defense shield over a compound.

The light flickered slightly.

"Damn, Foundation Establishment," a voice came from within, bearing some concern.

But then the array defense shield recovered.

Clearly, the family inside had infused Spiritual Qi, speeding up the array’s recovery.

Bang, bang, bang...!

However, the Skeleton Giant paused slightly, and its six arms swung continuously as if wielding six Bone Great Hammers, pounding directly.

Amidst the heavy booming, the protective shield swiftly flickered and dimmed.

"Damn!" Six rays of light shot out.

The foremost was clearly a Foundation Establishment cultivator deploying a Magical Flying Sword.

Striking the Skeleton Giant.

The Foundation Establishment cultivator’s flying sword directly blasted a head-sized hole, and other magical artifacts also struck, leaving cracks.

But, that’s far from enough.

Because the wounds on the gigantic Skeleton Giant’s body healed visibly to the naked eye.

They hadn’t encountered a demon calamity, but they had heard of it aplenty.

How could the family within the array hold back?

If they made their move, it would be with full force.

Giving their all!

Because following this were nearly a hundred Spirit Talismans.

In an instant, this family’s remaining Spirit Talismans were nearly all expended here.

Among them, no less than thirteen were Foundation Establishment Spirit Talismans.

This was due to the Little Knife Commerce Association’s internal prices being cheap, allowing them to have such reserves.

Thus!

Bang, bang...!

Amidst continuous explosions.

The Skeleton Giant crashed to the ground.

The people within the array did not relax; instead, they continued to pour Spiritual Power into the array, rapidly restoring the shield.

The Foundation Establishment Family Head looked out at the skeletons with a face full of concern.

Seeing the skeletons not moving, he sighed in slight relief.

Fortunately, his choice was correct.

The attacks from other skeletons were much weaker and could be sustained for a long while.

And of such Foundation Establishment Skeleton Giants, there were still two others attacking elsewhere.
