Liu Bai's sudden action directly stunned the three of them, and they looked at him speechlessly.
"Running away? So this is your choice?"
A trace of disdain flashed through the young man's eyes. Seeing Liu Bai's calm and composed appearance earlier, they had thought they were facing an expert with some special method, and the three of them had stayed wary the entire time.
In the end, this was all there was to it?
At this moment, Liu Bai also stopped in his tracks. He turned around to look at the three of them, revealing a strange smile on his face.
"This is not running away. This is called luring the enemy into a trap…"
As his voice fell, his hands suddenly formed a seal.
In the next instant, the three of them felt as though the surrounding world had suddenly collapsed. Boundless baleful energy tore apart the heavens and earth, instantly shattering the space around them. The three of them did not even have time to react before they were completely imprisoned in place.
"Not good, it's a Spiritual Array!"
The three immediately realized the situation. If the surrounding array fully formed, they would truly become turtles trapped in a jar!
"Second Brother, Third Brother, quickly break this array!"
The white haired old man let out a loud shout as white spiritual light surged around his body.
At the same time, golden and black spiritual lights rose from the middle aged man and the young man respectively.
The three streams of spiritual light merged together, instantly stirring the winds and clouds. The shattered space was actually torn open into a pitch black passage.
"Oh? What a strange power!"
Feeling the terrifying might produced after the fusion of the three different spiritual lights, Liu Bai could not help but frown.
However, escaping from his array would not be that easy.
"Five Colored Divine Light, seal it for me!"
With a booming sound, five colored radiance burst forth above Liu Bai's head. The radiance transformed into something like a heavenly dome and actually patched up the black hole.
"Haha, this really does feel a bit like Nuwa repairing the heavens."
Liu Bai laughed loudly. Then the seals formed by his hands accelerated, and a pitch black grand array rapidly took shape in the sky, enveloping the entire hundred mile area within it.
All the experts secretly observing widened their eyes. None of them had expected that this incredibly young Lesser Earth Sovereign was also a Spiritual Array Scholar!
Moreover, judging from the spiritual energy fluctuations emitted by the completed array, this was not an ordinary low rank Grandmaster Spiritual Array. It was very likely a middle rank one.
That was a powerful Spiritual Array comparable to an Greater Earth Sovereign!
Any expert who reached the level of a Middle Rank Spiritual Array Scholar, regardless of cultivation level, would generally be treated as an Greater Earth Sovereign.
In other words, this Liu Bai before them was actually an Greater Earth Sovereign level expert.
In that case, things were going to turn very bad for those three.
Under the horrified gazes of everyone, inside the pitch black grand array, a towering blood colored demonic flower slowly took shape. Blood seemed to flow across its petals.
A terrifying blood baleful aura began gathering throughout the surrounding heaven and earth, making people feel as though their noses were filled with a dense scent of blood.
"What a vicious and bloody grand array!"
Everyone felt their hearts tremble. Just from the baleful aura leaking from the array, they could tell that this was an incomparably deadly killing array.
Once trapped inside this array, even an Greater Earth Sovereign would likely find it difficult to escape death!
At this moment, the three Great Xia Dynasty experts trapped within the array could feel its terror even more clearly than the spectators outside.
Within the dense blood baleful aura that seemed impossible to disperse, the three could clearly sense waves of killing intent constantly invading their consciousness, as though it could make them completely lose themselves in slaughter at any moment and turn them into puppets that knew only how to kill.
"No, we must break out. Otherwise, even if he does not activate the array, we will eventually be completely corrupted by this blood baleful aura!"
Very quickly, the young man among the three roared angrily.
"Alright, use our trump card!"
"Life Death Tribulation Power, destroy eternity!"
The three shouted in unison. Then the three streams of spiritual light converged into a single point. Afterwards, the space around that point began twisting and rotating before slowly spreading outward.
This time, even Liu Bai was shocked.
Because with that point as the center, as the twisting rotational force spread, everything around it including space, spiritual energy, and baleful aura was completely annihilated. Everything seemed to return to nothingness!
"Damn, it's this strong?!"
Liu Bai's eyes widened. He felt that he had completely underestimated the three of them.
Perhaps their cultivation levels were not particularly impressive, but the power produced after fusing their energies was likely no weaker than his Five Element fusion power!
Moreover, this pure annihilation power of theirs actually seemed even more destructive than Five Element fusion power.
"Then let's see whose destructive power is stronger!"
A cold light flashed through Liu Bai's eyes as the seal in his hands instantly changed.
Boom!
The blood colored divine flower slowly bloomed, and for the first time, the full might of the God Slaughtering Ancient Array erupted within the Great Thousand World.
God Slaughtering, God Massacring, God Destroying!
These three powers were likewise among the ultimate destructive forces within the Great Thousand World. When they collided with the opponents' Life Death Tribulation Power, they actually ended up evenly matched.
This result shocked not only Liu Bai's side, but also the old, middle aged, and young trio opposite him.
For both sides, ever since their debut, their respective methods had never encountered such a situation before.
Evenly matched? How was that possible?!
In the sky, the blood colored divine flower fully bloomed, and a blood colored light pillar shot out from the flower core, colliding with the black and white vortex opposite it.
Pitch black spatial cracks spread out from the point of collision before exploding with a thunderous boom. The black and white vortex was directly annihilated in midair.
After enduring the impact of the explosion, the blood colored light pillar had lost ninety percent of its power, but it still slammed into the three figures, blasting them tens of thousands of feet away.
The three figures simultaneously spat out mouthfuls of blood. A massive hole covering nearly their entire chests exploded open, and even their internal organs had vanished.
However, the vitality of Earth Sovereigns was incomparably tenacious. Unless all of their life force was completely erased, killing them entirely was extremely difficult.
Seeing that the situation had turned unfavorable, the three naturally could not wait for death obediently. They exchanged tacit glances before fleeing in three different directions!
Seeing this, a cold smile curled onto Liu Bai's lips.
"You want to leave? It won't be that easy!"
As he sneered, something seemed to emerge from beneath his clothes.
Roar!
Cry!
Accompanied by an enraged dragon roar and a piercing phoenix cry, two purple gold light shadows split directly from Liu Bai's body and chased toward two separate directions.
Meanwhile, Liu Bai himself transformed into a gigantic purple crystal flame bird and pursued the final direction.
This scene once again shocked all the experts observing the battle.
"That is a Dragon and Phoenix? And what is that purple flame giant bird? Why does it feel like the legendary Undying Bird? Is this man human or ghost? How can one person possess the powers of so many Super Divine Beasts?!"
At this moment, even the spectators could no longer determine whether Liu Bai belonged to the Divine Beast clans or was a human expert.
However, there was one thing they were certain about.
Liu Bai was strong. Extremely strong!
["Ding! Congratulations on killing a mid phase Lesser Earth Sovereign. Double experience rewarded for killing above your level. Obtained five million experience points and 1000 Spiritual Pulse Awakening Points."]
["Ding! Congratulations on killing a mid phase Lesser Earth Sovereign. Double experience rewarded for killing above your level. Obtained 4.8 million experience points and 1000 Spiritual Pulse Awakening Points."]
["Ding! Congratulations on killing a mid phase Lesser Earth Sovereign. Double experience rewarded for killing above your level. Obtained five million experience points and 1000 Spiritual Pulse Awakening Points."]
Looking at the corpse before him that had been burned into ashes by his Undying Flame, a smile curled onto Liu Bai's lips.
"Not bad. More than ten million experience points and three thousand Spiritual Pulse Awakening Points. This is a pretty good start for the Ancient Heavenly Palace trip."
Of course, this also gave Liu Bai a clear understanding of the combat strength of the True Dragon Spirit and True Phoenix Spirit within him.
Two purple gold rays of light flew over from the distance before directly merging back into Liu Bai's body.
At the same time, two Space Rings appeared in Liu Bai's hand. Together with the one he had already collected earlier, they became part of the spoils of this battle.
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect the three of them to be this wealthy. There are fifty million Sovereign Spiritual Liquids just inside their Space Rings."
However, Liu Bai guessed that this probably included the reward given by the Xia Emperor for hiring the three of them. Otherwise, even Earth Sovereigns would not normally carry such a massive amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquids unless under special circumstances.
Moreover, the combat power of these three was truly extraordinary. Their combined attack was enough to rival an Greater Earth Sovereign.
Although this did not mean the three of them together could truly compare to a genuine Greater Earth Sovereign expert, such experts would absolutely not be easily commanded.
This was also determined by the nature of the Great Xia Dynasty itself. After all, they did not exist in the form of a clan or sect, but as an imperial dynasty. Unless they were experts from the Xia royal clan itself, royal offerings like these three were mostly people who worked for money.
Liu Bai's battle had ended, and the chaos in West City had also subsided.
At this moment, the buildings surrounding the manor where Liu Bai had been staying had already been reduced to ruins because of the earlier battle.
Only the manor itself remained completely intact due to the protection of the Spiritual Array.
In the sky, Jiu You gazed toward the direction Xia Hong had fled with a rather calm expression.
After all, he was still a prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, so it was natural that he possessed life saving methods. Earlier, his escape speed had caught even her off guard, and by the time she wanted to pursue him, it was already too late.
However, such an escape technique that harmed one's own body would definitely carry severe aftereffects. Xia Hong's future days would probably not be pleasant.
Of course, the main reason was that the fellow had been decisive enough. In order to survive, he had directly abandoned all the Quasi Saint Artifacts on his body. That level of decisiveness was truly remarkable.
"Tsk tsk, just a Fourth Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty alone could yield three Quasi Saint Artifacts. The Great Xia Dynasty really is wealthy."
Jiu You chuckled as she looked at the two treasures in her hand.
There was no need to mention the stone pearl, as it was the Sea Breaking Pearl that had appeared at the auction earlier. As for the long spear, it was a matching set with the battle armor from before.
After pondering for a moment, Jiu You directly tossed the stone pearl to Ling Xi. Under the latter's astonished gaze, she said, "Being able to keep all these Great Xia Dynasty experts here this time was also thanks to Miss Ling Xi's Spiritual Array assistance. This Sea Breaking Pearl can be considered Miss Ling Xi's reward."
Ling Xi frowned and looked toward Mu Chen.
Strictly speaking, the reason they had chosen to stay with Jiu You and the others was mainly because they wanted to borrow their strength to enter the Ancient Heavenly Palace. If they accepted this reward, it would feel somewhat inappropriate.
Mu Chen naturally understood this as well, so he immediately wanted to refuse.
However, Jiu You directly waved her hand to interrupt him.
"Just accept it. We're about to enter the Ancient Heavenly Palace anyway. With this for protection, you'll have a bit more security."
Those words immediately stopped Mu Chen from refusing, leaving him unsure of what to say.
In the end, Mu Chen could only cup his fists in gratitude and accept the Sea Breaking Pearl.
However, they had personally witnessed Xia Hong purchasing this item earlier for twenty million Sovereign Spiritual Liquids. Now that it had fallen into his hands just like this, the favor he owed had only grown even greater.
Liu Bai also knew a bit about the battle that had occurred in West City because he had already seen the system notifications for the kills made by Zong Qingfeng and the other three beast servants.
The reinforcements sent by the Great Xia Dynasty this time were not limited to the three Earth Sovereigns. There were also several Ninth Grade Sovereigns and numerous half step Ninth Grade experts. That was also why Ling Xi had needed to deploy a grand array to assist during the earlier battle.
It was precisely because of Ling Xi's Spiritual Array support that Jiu You and the others had gained enough time to eliminate the Great Xia Dynasty experts one by one in batches.
As expected, Liu Bai once again obtained more than three million experience points, causing his total experience to rise above forty million.
This battle completely intimidated all the experts and top tier factions currently gathered within the West City region.
These people finally understood that whether at the Earth Sovereign level or below it, Liu Bai's group was not to be provoked.
Moreover, their previous speculation that this team had been sent by the Divine Beast clans to covet the Ancient Heavenly Palace had also started to be questioned. Aside from Jiu You and the others, whether it was Mu Chen's group, Dragon Arm Sovereign, Tan Qiu and the others, they were all human. Even Liu Bai himself, the expert behind the group, was human. Calling this a team sent by the Divine Beast clans simply did not seem believable…
However, these were not the main focus for now. During this period, what attracted the most attention in West City was the dramatic change to the Skylaw Continent Expert Rankings.
With the powerful performances of Jiu You, Ling Xi, and even Zong Qingfeng and the others, all of their names had appeared on the rankings.
Jiu You, by killing a Ninth Grade Sovereign expert from the Great Xia Dynasty and forcing the Fourth Prince Xia Hong to flee desperately for his life, directly entered the top fifteen.
Meanwhile, Ling Xi's powerful Spiritual Array methods, which had trapped three Ninth Grade Sovereigns and numerous half step Ninth Grade experts for an entire quarter hour, allowed her to enter the top twenty.
Since both women also possessed exceptional beauty, they gained quite a bit of additional attention. They had now become newly rising stars on the Expert Rankings.
