Chapter 94: Chapter 94 This Blade Array Can Fetch a Good Price
"Got it, Brother Ruthless!"
"Don't worry, Brother Ruthless, we'll definitely follow behind and won't cause any trouble for you!"
"Yeah..."
The cultivators happily ran to the back of the truck, not minding the pungent, sickening scent of blood, and greeted the people in the truck with broad smiles.
The people on the truck felt a bit awkward, not understanding why they were being treated like big shots.
Cultivators with deeper cultivation levels scoffed: "Jumping clowns, just seeking attention."
"No matter how much trash there is, it's still just a pile of trash. What use is gathering together?"
Qin Lan smiled slightly, flicked the silk brocade in her hand, and rose into the air: "Ladies and gentlemen, Qin Lan will be heading out first."
"Immortal, take care on your journey."
...
Meanwhile, inside the truck, Li Xiaobai returned to the driver's seat, feeling the weight of responsibility on his shoulders. The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. He now carried the hopes of the entire village and had to lead everyone out of misery.
This was the time for some music.
"Music!"
"Whenever there's injustice, I will shout, when it's time to act, I will act, storming through Central Province with fire and wind..."
Music started to play.
Li Xiaobai floored the accelerator, and the truck once again roared off, charging down the road ahead. The next challenge was to get through the Knife Forest, and Li Xiaobai was not the least bit nervous—what Blade Array could penetrate the truck's defenses?
In front of the Ironclad Behemoth, they are all younger brothers!
The truck's music was loud, and in an instant, the entire valley was filled with the song's soul-stirring voice.
Behind the truck, the cultivators followed closely, their blood boiling with excitement. Brother Ruthless was not only willing to lead them through the Blade Array but also sang to boost their morale. What a great person!
They must successfully get through the Knife Forest, not disappointing Brother Ruthless!
Ahead was the Knife Forest, and this was where the Blade Array was located.
It was called the Blade Array because this forest was filled with hundreds and thousands of lower-grade Spiritual Artifacts resembling knives and swords. If any living creature entered, it would face the onslaught of blade qi.
A slight touch could severely injure a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, and Core Formation Stage cultivators wouldn't fare much better.
To get through safely, aside from relying on a high cultivation level, one could only depend on their movement technique.
The spaces between the Spiritual Artifacts weren't dense. As long as one's movement technique was good, passing through the Blade Array safely wouldn't be an issue.
"Woof, kid, let Lord Ergouzi drive!"
Ergouzi, no matter what, also wanted a turn at the wheel, as Li Xiaobai's spotlight made it green with envy.
"Cluck cluck, this time the honored me will do it!"
Ji Wuqing flapped its wings and inched closer.
"Give me another Huazi."
Yu Sanbian said indifferently.
Li Xiaobai was troubled; Huazi was no longer satisfying for Ergouzi and Ji Wuqing's mischief-making urges.
He flipped his wrist and tossed a pack of Huazi to Yu Sanbian, "Brother Yu, take it slow, don't choke."
"Sure thing..." Yu Sanbian quietly smoked the Huazi, saying no more.
"You two use this!"
Li Xiaobai tossed the vacuum cleaner that the System had produced to the chicken and the dog.
"Woof, what's this?" Ergouzi was puzzled.
"Cluck cluck, it's a vacuum cleaner, you don't even know this, what a bumpkin!" Ji Wuqing scoffed, familiar with most items in the System's store as a fellow System product.
"Woof, what's with this darned chicken, looking down on Lord Ergouzi!"
"This vacuum will come in handy; here's what we're going to do..."
Li Xiaobai briefly explained the purpose of the vacuum, and within the cockpit, a chicken and a dog's eyes shone brightly.
To others, the Blade Array was a deadly weapon, but to him, it was a treasure. If he could collect the Blade Array, he was sure to sell it for a good price.
After all, Old Man Feng had only mentioned passing through the Blade Array; he never said one had to move through it using a movement technique. He had his own methods.
...
At the same time, atop a certain mountain, several old men watched the cultivators below with great interest.
"This girl is not bad, look at her figure and footwork; she has the shadow of Little Bamboo Peak."
"It's just a pity she married into the Xingtian Sect of Central Province. The waters run deep there. Her coming to the Holy Demon Sect this time is probably just for that spot."
"Right, we have to give face to Old Xingtian. When the time comes, include her in the count."
"Heh, I'm more curious about how that kid will get through the Blade Array. He won't simply bulldoze his way through again, will he?"
"Xiao Feng, take some protective measures. Lower Grade Spiritual Artifacts aren't worth much, but there are a lot of them. If they are damaged, repairing them will be somewhat troublesome."
"Understood. I've already increased the difficulty of the Knife Forest, and have placed several Mid-Grade Spiritual Artifacts within. I believe this time, that kid won't pass so easily!"
...
Within the Knife Forest.
A dozen or so cultivators, confident in their high cultivation levels, had already entered it.
Qin Lan and her maid took the lead without a second thought for the Blade Array, directly controlling their Magic Treasure to fly inside.
The surrounding swords and Spiritual Artifacts felt provoked, buzzing loudly. Blade qi and Sword Qi swept across all directions in an instant, with powerful waves of Spiritual Energy enveloping the entire forest.
Countless blades and Sword Qi crisscrossed, striking down towards where Qin Lan was.
"Dao Guidance, Thousand Nights Sacred Method!"
With a casual flick of Qin Lan's finger, the overwhelming Sword Qi dissipated; the Silk Brocade beneath her feet instantly turned into a surge of river water, sweeping towards the blade lights and Sword Qi. The blades and Sword Qi shattered inch by inch, exploding apart.
"This Blade Array is just a trap for cultivators of lower cultivation levels."
Disdain flashed in Qin Lan's eyes, and with a slight flicker, she disappeared among the trees.
The maid by her side glanced back at the slowly advancing crowd with contempt, snorted coldly, and with a flourish of her sword, also vanished without a trace.
The rest of the cultivators didn't have Qin Lan's flair. They used every trick they had to carefully navigate through the blade lights and Sword Qi. Occasionally, some had to endure waves of Sword Qi head-on, which left many cultivators red-faced and evidently injured within.
"Damn it, why is this Knife Forest so powerful? Some of this Sword Qi doesn't seem like it's from Lower Grade Spiritual Artifacts!"
"Yeah, it seems even those in the Golden Core Stage would have a tough time getting through!"
"I've only walked a hundred steps, and I'm already near grievously wounded. If I get scraped by Sword Qi a couple more times, I'll give up the test."
"Who has a defensive Spiritual Artifact? I'll trade with you..."
The cultivators who were once full of confidence now found it difficult to advance, taking out all kinds of Spiritual Artifacts to block the ceaseless waves of Sword Qi around them.
Among these Lower Grade Spiritual Artifacts, there was a good mix of Mid-Grade ones. Fortunately, there were no High-Grade Spiritual Artifacts or Magic Treasures; otherwise, there would have been no chance at all.
"Let's go for it!"
Some cultivators swallowed a few Frenzy Elixirs, attempting to forcibly break through.
But suddenly, the ground beneath them began to tremble.
At the same time, the Sword Qi and blade lights that were coming at them paused for a moment and then, changing direction, cut through the sky toward the back.
The ground roared, and the sound of revving engines pierced the ears, mixed with the wild laughter of a certain creature.
"Woof, Lord Ergouzi is invincible!"
"Giggle, I have faintly found the feeling of dominating the world from days past!"
"Vacuum, suck it up for Lord Ergouzi!"
