Chapter 345: Chapter 136: The Moon Worship Sect’s Reinforcements Arrive, Becoming the Unlikely Key to Breaking the Array on the Brink of Life and Death

White Snake’s eyes went wide. She cried out in shock, "Essence Enhancing Pills? And they’re triple-patterned? There’s a whole bottle of them?"

Just then, someone else arrived, looking for Chu Fan.

Chu Fan, with Cyan Snake in tow, immediately rushed to the next node.

When they reached the new node, however, Chu Fan handed the Five Elements Cauldron to White Snake.

White Snake was taken aback. "What is the meaning of this?"

Chu Fan pointed to the frightened, white-robed person inside the Array and said, "I’m exhausted, and your sister is tired too. You’ll break this array barrier."

White Snake immediately flared up. "Why should I listen to you?"

Chu Fan said flatly, "If you don’t, I’ll smash this cauldron on your head."

White Snake: "..."

Cyan Snake kicked her from behind. "If he tells you to break it, then break it. What’s with all the chatter!"

After saying this, Cyan Snake started laughing. She thought to herself, ’Chu Fan is so good to me... Every time he wants my help, he coaxes me with Treasure Plants and Elixirs.’

’But now, when he wants Xiaoqing to help, he won’t even spare a dime and just threatens her directly!’

’My sister is also incredibly beautiful, but she can’t catch Chu Fan’s eye at all.’

Cyan Snake gave Chu Fan a sultry glance, which left him completely baffled.

"I’ll break it, I’ll break it! What’s all the shouting for!" White Snake huffed as she took the Five Elements Cauldron. She was surprised by its weight the moment it was in her hands.

Immediately, her expression turned cold again. "A High-Grade Profound Weapon? It’s hard enough, I suppose. It’ll be difficult to use its special properties, but it’s more than enough to break the defense with brute force."

Chu Fan nodded. "Thank you for your trouble."

And so, the man and two snakes formed a peculiar team.

Guided by the informants of North City’s various factions, they moved like a siege engine through the rubble and ruins, breaking one array after another.

BOOM!

RUMBLE!

Explosions echoed one after another across North City.

With every boom, another node of the Grand Array was brutally smashed!

As the nodes were destroyed one by one, the Grand Array’s power continued to weaken!

Even ordinary citizens could sense the change in the Grand Array, and they were overjoyed!

However, in the center of North City, within the Three Talents Sealing Demon Array formed by three Spirit Pattern Pillars, the situation had taken a drastic turn for the worse.

Ding Jian, Shi Hao, and Lin Yue stood atop the Spirit Pattern Pillars, their faces as pale as paper. Their bodies trembled uncontrollably, and blood trickled from the corners of their mouths.

They had to sustain the Grand Array against the strengthening Resentful Spirit while also diverting their attention to fend off the harassment from the Moon Worship Sect experts outside. Their Primordial Qi and mental energy were on the verge of collapse.

Inside the array, Old Limp was already struggling to fight the Resentful Spirit alone. Now, with the addition of another expert of the same level, he was completely overwhelmed and in constant peril.

Several new wounds, deep enough to expose bone, now covered his body. Blood soaked through his tattered clothes.

He was no longer the man he once was...

His leg had been broken by the Demon Suppression Bureau. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

His world-shocking Cultivation had also been crippled by the Demon Suppression Bureau.

Now, what little power he had was like a candle flickering in the wind.

He never would have thought that after secluding himself in a quiet corner of the world, he would be forced out to do such a thankless job.

...

Outside the array, the battle was just as brutal.

Chen Xuan, the master of the Moon Arrow Martial Arts Hall, and Wang Kaishan of the Mountain Opening Boxing Hall were the first to lead their people to the scene.

They were followed by Cao Feng, who arrived with Li Qingxue and Cao Yan.

The Old Constable and Constable Lu Tao also fought their way there, covered in blood.

The Spirit Awakening Realm experts from the Four Great Clans also arrived at the battlefield one after another.

But aside from Ding Jian’s trio, who had to maintain the Three Talents Sealing Demon Array, the only ones present at the Divine Power Realm were the Old Constable and Lu Tao.

How could they possibly stop that group of black-robed people?

The Old Constable didn’t hesitate for a second. With a furious roar, he charged straight at a black-robed Divine Power Realm expert.

Lu Tao, meanwhile, fearlessly engaged another Divine Power Realm expert who was fighting Ding Jian, trying to relieve some of the pressure on him!

The remaining Spirit Awakening Realm Martial Artists formed groups of three to five, desperately tying down the other three black-robed Divine Power Realm experts.

Li Qingxue brandished her blade while scanning the area, searching for any sign of Chu Fan.

The battle raged on...

One Spirit Awakening Realm expert after another was sent flying, injured, after just a single exchange.

But the people behind them immediately filled the gaps, forming a defensive line with their own bodies, all just to buy a few more moments!

Everyone was frantic with anxiety, their eyes constantly glancing in the direction of the distant booms.

They were trading their lives to buy time for Chu Fan...

Their only true hope for survival was for the Grand Array to be broken!

SPURT!

Lu Tao was sent flying again, spitting a mouthful of blood.

He had been too hasty.

He hadn’t even had time to gauge his opponent’s strength before picking a fight.

He was only at the First Heaven of the Divine Power Realm, but this opponent was far stronger than the Third Heaven of the Divine Power Realm expert they had killed in Maple Valley!

The only reason he had lasted this long against such a powerful enemy was through sheer courage and a ruthless, life-for-a-life fighting style!

"Lu Tao!"

From a nearby rooftop, Chen Xuan let out a furious roar. He forced his Primordial Qi, drew his bow like a full moon, and loosed an arrow!

The moment the arrow left the string, the surrounding light dimmed as if in a Lunar Eclipse. Silent yet swift as a thunderclap, it shot straight for the black-robed man’s back!

The black-robed man sensed the danger and was forced to abandon his pursuit of Lu Tao, turning to shatter the arrow with a backhanded palm strike.

This gave Lu Tao a moment to breathe, and several constables rushed in to pull him back.

Just as everyone felt that time was crawling by and they were on the verge of collapse—

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Five consecutive explosions, louder and closer than any before, rocked North City!

The entire ground shook violently, as if an earth dragon were turning over in its sleep!

Immediately after, the suffocating, blood-red sky that had shrouded North City for days was torn open as if by a giant, invisible hand!

The long-absent, warm sunlight instantly poured down, dispelling the gloom and cold!

The invisible boulder that had been weighing on everyone’s hearts, draining their very life force, suddenly vanished!

Even the common people, who had been bleeding from all seven orifices, were stunned to find that the bleeding had stopped!

"It’s broken! The Grand Array is broken!!"

"We’re saved!!"

"It’s Chu Fan! Chu Fan and the others did it!"

Deafening cheers, like a long-dormant volcano, erupted from every corner of North City, soaring into the heavens!

"Kill them! Time to settle the score with those Moon Worship Sect bastards!"
