"What?"

Ao Kuo, who had just walked to the center of the hall, suddenly turned around, utterly shocked.

"Array?"

Yue Honghai instantly drew his serrated saber and nine-section steel whip, fully alert.

Lu Zheng pulled Lin Wan closer with a backward hand, and a dense layer of cloud qi enveloped the two of them in an instant, leaving no gaps.

The next moment, strands of water light appeared in the array, accompanied by strands of erosion qi, starting to corrode everyone's protective true qi.

Trapping array combined with killing array!

Lu Zheng instantly saw through the array. As time went on, the erosion qi would grow stronger and eventually reduce everyone to a puddle of blood.

"Bei Yue Sea! Fan Yuwen!"

Ao Kuo shouted fiercely, unleashing an aura of dragon power throughout his body, then infused his true qi into the water god seal in his hand. The seal flickered twice before suddenly dimming.

"This is not a water mansion array!"

The Gui Lingjiang Water Mansion Seal was not just a symbol of the Water God's identity but also the key to the entire water mansion's array.

Ao Kuo had just tried to use the seal to control the array, only to find it was useless.

"Hehehe!"

A slightly arrogant laugh suddenly rang out inside the hall and the array.

"I thought all you Eastern Sea Dragon Race bigshots were so powerful that you'd never be fooled by a hastily set array and would fight me outside instead. Who knew you'd be blind enough to walk directly into the hall."

"Who are you?" Ao Kuo's eyes turned fierce.

"Who I am is not important, but since you're in my killing array, you're destined to die here. I was worried I'd lack a water mansion seal and wouldn't be able to control the water mansion array, nor fool a true discerning eye. But since you came, it's all resolved, isn't it?"

Ao Kuo squinted coldly, "You want to kill me and impersonate the Gui Lingjiang Water God."

"No, I'm not impersonating. With the water mansion seal, I am the Gui Lingjiang Water God."

The voice laughed, "Where did you come from, you little flea, daring to steal my seal? Now return it quickly and execute yourself to apologize!"

Ao Kuo was enraged at this, his eyes glaring, and instantly drew out a spear, stabbing fiercely towards the door.

"Boom!"

This stab was executed with Ao Kuo's anger, and a jade dragon phantom spiraled around the spear, releasing a terrifying Dragon Wei Divine Thought, forming a dragon-shaped spirit storm as if a divine dragon had descended from the heavens.

In the meantime, even though he was in the isolating water array, with the Dragon Race's natural gift, each stab pulled strands of water vapor through the array, each imbued with dragon power.

"Roar!"

The ice-blue spear let out a loud dragon roar, with a point of its power slicing the air into thin black streaks.

Yue Honghai, astonished, realized the huge disparity between himself and a dragon race master; just this one stab was completely beyond his ability to block.

Lu Zheng used white clouds to shield Lin Wan from the impact of the Dragon Wei Divine Thought, marveling at Ao Kuo's stab, feeling it was not much less powerful than the sparring match with Ao Qi back then.

"Boom!"

The Dragon Wei Divine Thought locked onto the edge of the array, and the spear's tip accurately struck the array's flowing light.

A deafening boom spread from the point, rippling through the entire array space.

Endless dragon might exploded, countless waves rippled.

Though the array slightly wavered, it effortlessly dispelled the power of this stab.

Ao Kuo's expression changed.

"Hahaha, not bad, not bad. Luckily I was cautious. I didn't think your cultivation wasn't weak. If I hadn't set up the array, I might really not have been able to defeat you.

But... who told you to be so foolish as to blindly step into my array? With a brain as slow as yours, how did you even manage to steal my seal?"

The taunting enraged Ao Kuo, "If you've got the guts, remove the array, and let's have a real fight!"

And he was met with a burst of "Hahaha" as a response.

On the other side, Yue Honghai glanced at Lu Zheng, noticing his expression already darkened like the bottom of a pot.

Blind... Foolish... Mindless...

Every word was aimed at taunting Ao Kuo, but hit Lu Zheng just the same.

Yue Honghai trembled and absent-mindedly licked the corners of his lips.

"So you are brought by this stupid dragon as vice generals or maids?" After taunting Ao Kuo, the voice turned to Lu Zheng and the others, "If you kneel and pledge allegiance to me, I'll spare your lives; how about it?"

Lin Wan felt a bit anxious; her cultivation level was low, and she couldn't tell the strength difference between Lu Zheng, Ao Kuo, and the person outside. After all, Ao Kuo and Lu Zheng called each other brother but hadn't sparred.

Ao Kuo's powerful stab had been impressive, so she wasn't sure if Lu Zheng could break through the array, but she was certain that Si Lingxi absolutely could.

"Should we cross back and call Sister Lingxi?" Lin Wan asked softly.

At this moment, Si Lingxi was on Blue Star, and Lu Zheng could fully deploy the Great Summoning Technique to summon the top-level force of Fire Phoenix from this world.

Lu Zheng speechlessly patted Lin Wan, "You're underestimating your man too much."

"No problem?" Lin Wan's voice was mixed with surprise and delight.

"Piece of cake." Lu Zheng smiled.

The voice facing Lu Zheng and the others also drew Ao Kuo's attention back, making him regain his composure and scratch his head.

Right, we still have a great master here; if I can't break the array alone, adding Lu Zheng means it's in our hands, right?

"Brother Lu..." Ao Kuo looked at Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng nodded, "Together."

Just now Ao Kuo had tried a move, and Lu Zheng had seen through the array's nature. Though he could break it alone, with Ao Kuo, it's better to conserve some effort.

"Hmm?"

Ao Kuo and Lu Zheng's actions puzzled the owner of the voice, raising strands of doubt.

But before he could react, Ao Kuo struck again.

The power of the stab was no less than before, once more hitting the array's flowing light.

The situation was similar to last time, with the array rippling to absorb the force of the stab.

However, unlike last time, while the spear was hitting the array's flowing light, a golden thunderbolt exploded out of nowhere.

Taiyi Five Thunder Curse!

"Boom!"

Another blast sent ripples from the spear's tip.

But this time, the ripples shattered the array's resistance limits.

The flowing light dissipated, revealing a few array flags previously hidden within.

The next moment, a dark light suddenly appeared, attempting to sweep away those array flags.

However, Lu Zheng, Ao Kuo, and Yue Honghai acted simultaneously.

The flying sword, spear, serrated saber, and nine-section steel whip swept across, making gathering the array flags for another setup a mere dream.

"Crack! Crack!"

Seven array flags snapped one by one, and the array's flowing light instantly vanished.
