"In that case, let’s begin setting up the array formation!"

Murong Qingcheng, not wanting to waste any more time, waved to the Azure Dragon Family’s strongmen behind her. The sound of breaking wind echoed as dozens of strongmen from the Azure Dragon Family took their positions and began channeling their energy.

"As for the responsibility of luring that flame-robed man, Brother Chen Ling, it falls to you!"

Murong Qingcheng said.

"I’ll do my best."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Chen’s figure dashed out. Under his control, the Thunder Sound Sword in his hand had already transformed into a sharp sword light, shooting through the air!

Seeing the rapidly approaching figure, the Flame Star Envoy merely lifted his head slightly. The hollow eyes were rapidly filled with brilliant lightning, yet facing the incoming flying sword, he merely raised both hands, astonishingly using a single fleshy palm to grasp the sword.

Ssshhh!

The edge of the flying sword seemed to have little effect in front of the Flame Star Envoy. Sparks flew between his palms as the sword forced its way in but did not break free from his grip.

"He actually caught the flying sword with one hand!"

Ling Chen’s eyes grew serious. The power of the flying sword was beyond question, capable of killing a Half-Saint in a second, yet this Flame Star Envoy managed to catch it with one hand. Such physical strength was terrifying.

However, Ling Chen did not panic. A sharp gleam flashed in his eyes, then with a sudden thought, a laser-like sword light shot fiercely from the tip of the flying sword, striking the Flame Star Envoy’s body.

Poof!

A hole suddenly appeared in the Flame Star Envoy’s body, causing him to let out a piercing scream. The next moment, he locked his gaze on Ling Chen, immediately drawing a bow and nocking an arrow. Such a sharp arrowhead, despite the considerable distance, targeted Ling Chen directly.

Feeling a twinge of danger in his heart, Ling Chen immediately retreated rapidly. With a "whoosh," the urgent sound of breaking wind echoed, and he saw that the Flame Star Envoy already had a fiery arrow shooting toward Ling Chen’s location!

"That kid, might play himself to death."

An insidious smile appeared on Huangfu Qi’s face. Although he couldn’t make a move against Ling Chen, if Ling Chen got killed by the flame-robed man, it would have nothing to do with him.

However, just as the fiery arrow was about to hit Ling Chen, he suddenly dodged, narrowly avoiding the arrow, then his Red Sky Sword at his waist suddenly unsheathed, striking the arrow and altering its course.

By now, Murong Qingcheng and the other strongmen had already set up the Small Qinglong Array. With their setup, three blue dragons formed a great formation, astonishing in momentum. With the help of several dozen top strongmen, it seemed this Small Qinglong Array was ready.

Missing the shot, the Flame Star Envoy also gave chase, continuously drawing and shooting fierce arrows toward Ling Chen.

But leveraging the Sword Controlling Technique and Golden Sword Domain, Ling Chen managed to turn danger into safety each time and successfully lured the Flame Star Envoy over.

"Quickly enter the array, Brother Chen Ling!"

Murong Qingcheng completed her hand seals, and the Small Qinglong Array was finished. At that moment, she shouted sharply at Ling Chen.

"Alright!"

Ling Chen nodded, then increased his speed to the maximum. In a flash, he appeared in the central area of the three blue dragons.

The Flame Star Envoy chased after him, entering the Small Qinglong Array.

"Now, Brother Chen Ling, leave the great formation!"

Murong Qingcheng’s delicate voice shouted. Her jade-like hands clasped together, and with the others’ assistance, the Small Qinglong Array suddenly began to rotate. The three dragons entwined rapidly, reducing the central area’s range. Obviously, Murong Qingcheng intended to close the array soon.

A sharp gleam flashed in Ling Chen’s eyes. The Small Qinglong Array gathered the power of over a dozen Half-Saint powerhouses and hundreds of Sky Apex Realm strongmen. Opening and closing it wasn’t easy. Once closed, it would be difficult to reopen; those strongmen wouldn’t be willing to exert themselves to open it just for him again.

Once trapped in this formation, undoubtedly, they would be in extreme danger.

As soon as Murong Qingcheng’s message reached him, Ling Chen charged toward the opposite direction of the great formation, where the Small Qinglong Array’s only exit lay.

However, just as Ling Chen was about to reach the exit, a cold gleam flashed in Huangfu Qi’s eyes. He suddenly raised his hand, launching a concealed weapon straight at Ling Chen’s face!

The many strongmen’s pupils suddenly contracted, not expecting Huangfu Qi to ambush Ling Chen at this time. This was too deadly! 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Directly forcing Ling Chen into a desperate situation.

"Huangfu Qi, what are you doing?!"

Murong Qingcheng’s face paled, not expecting Huangfu Qi to defy her open declaration to ensure Ling Chen’s safety, ignoring her warning, and acting against Ling Chen!

"This person poses too great a threat to my Huangfu Family, Qingcheng, I had no choice."

Huangfu Qi sneered, putting Murong Qingcheng’s anger aside. He believed that after dealing with Ling Chen, she wouldn’t break relations with the Huangfu Clan for an unrelated person.

The concealed weapon instantly trapped Ling Chen in a dilemma. Behind him was the Flame Star Envoy. If he was even slightly slower, he would be caught, and the closing speed of the Small Qinglong Array was equally relentless. With barely a meter between the two beams of light, Ling Chen twisted his body forcefully in midair, facing the pursuing Flame Star Envoy, slashing fiercely.

The Flame Star Envoy maintained speed, punching directly at Ling Chen. The scorching air energy erupted like a meteor.

Boom!

The powerful sword energy struck the Void ahead fiercely, shattering the air. Striking the Flame Star Envoy’s fist strength, a counterforce formed under the sword. Ling Chen, using this counterforce, finally flew backward amidst exclamations, leaving the narrow interval of the array.

However, doing so meant that the concealed weapon shot by Huangfu Qi aimed directly at Ling Chen’s back.

"Die!"

A vicious smile appeared on Huangfu Qi’s lips. He wanted to see how Ling Chen could escape this disaster.
