Chapter 434: Corpse Array

How is that possible?

Zhang Quan’s pupils slightly contracted. How could this little devil also be an array master?

That sudden explosion of the earth fire array in the mine well, the earth element array law that restrained his escape technique and prevented his escape – could it all have been this little devil’s work?

Zhang Quan looked at Mo Hua again. Mo Hua’s eyes were clear and pure, yet held a hint of profound mystery, bright but hard to grasp.

At first, he only felt these eyes were insidious and hateful. Looking now, these were indeed signs of extraordinary thoughts and powerful divine sense.

Zhang Quan thought of someone. That person, who was once deeply scheming, had eyes like this. And that person was also an array master. These eyes were indeed a bit like an array master's eyes.

Zhang Quan shivered internally. Not good…

If this little devil is an array master, he is very likely to see through the array laws on these walking corpses. Now the problem is, how much has he seen through? Does he know what kind of array law this is?

A cold light gradually appeared in Zhang Quan’s eyes. The best way now is to kill to silence. As long as a person is dead, they will be silent forever, and whatever they knew will be buried in the soil, never to be known.

But Zhang Quan knew clearly in his heart. In this situation, he had no way to kill to silence.

That white-clothed young man had deep cultivation and formidable martial strength; he couldn't defeat him. That beautiful little girl's Dao technique was dangerous, with extremely great killing power; he dared not court disaster. On the surface, this little devil's strength was the weakest. But he was exceptionally cunning, full of wicked ideas, too many tricks, insidious and slippery means, difficult to handle, and quite troublesome.

Moreover, he remembered that this little devil was able to hide. He didn't know if it was relying on some magic or spirit tool, but his hiding technique was quite advanced; even his Foundation Establishment divine sense couldn't see through it. Thus, he couldn't catch him at all.

Thinking of this, Zhang Quan was annoyed and ashamed, which turned into anger. As a dignified Foundation Establishment cultivator, he had been repeatedly humiliated, yet he couldn't do anything to him, truly frustrating!

He couldn't kill any of these three people. Since he couldn't kill to silence, he could only "destroy the corpses and wipe out the traces." He couldn't leave any traces of the array law!

Zhang Quan made up his mind, his expression grave.

On the other side, Bai Zi Sheng had already begun helping Mo Hua catch zombies. He avoided the iron corpse and turned to attack the ordinary walking corpses. With a shake of his long spear, spirit power surged, crippling the walking corpses' limbs, rendering them unable to move. In an instant, four or five walking corpses were controlled by him.

Mo Hua also began to act, cooperating with Bai Zi Sheng to catch zombies. Mo Hua used the water prison technique to fix the walking corpses, and then Bai Zi Sheng used his sword light to break their limbs. The three of them acted swiftly and precisely, and in a flash, many more zombies were subdued.

Zhang Quan's eyelid twitched. He couldn't wait any longer! His gaze turned cold, and he shook the blood rope strange pattern copper bell in his hand. The copper bell led the corpses, and the yin wind raged.

The situation on the battlefield suddenly changed. These walking corpses, with ferocious expressions, no longer attacked Mo Hua and the others, but instead killed each other, gnawing at each other's heart veins, trying to destroy the array laws near the heart veins. And that iron corpse also began to hunt low-grade walking corpses, using its fists and claws to dig empty the walking corpses' chests, leaving black holes with black blood flowing out.

The zombies were self-destructing, wiping out traces.

Bai Zi Sheng saw the situation and said angrily: "Good for you, you bastard! Are you not going to play fair?"

Zhang Quan sneered, ignoring him, and only shook the copper bell in his hand.

Mo Hua stared at his copper bell, observing it carefully, and suddenly pointed with his small hand, saying in a loud voice: "There's also an array law inside the copper bell, Senior Brother! Snatch his bell!"

Zhang Quan was startled. Bai Zi Sheng's eyes lit up, and he ignored those walking corpses, directly flashing his body, urging his movement technique, and stabbing out with a spear, trying to snatch the copper bell from Zhang Quan's hand.

Zhang Quan hurriedly retreated, dodging Bai Zi Sheng's spear, and immediately put the copper bell away, secretly cursing in his heart. This little devil's eyes are really sharp! Damn it! If this continues, he estimates even his underwear will be seen through! He couldn't delay any longer.

Zhang Quan dared not expose the copper bell again, but hid it in his sleeve, secretly shaking it, urging the walking corpses to self-destruct the array law, and also urging the iron corpse to protect his escape.

Bai Zi Sheng wanted to keep him, but the iron corpse blocked him, making it impossible for him to leave. The scene was temporarily chaotic, and Zhang Quan was finally able to escape.

Before leaving, Zhang Quan turned his head and looked at Mo Hua, recording all the new and old grudges in his heart. He said sinisterly: "Little devil, I remember you! The day I kill you, I will refine you into a zombie, keep you by my side, and make you pour tea and serve water for me, be my cattle and horse, and suffer my slavery for life!"

After finishing, he ran off immediately, not giving Mo Hua an opportunity to retort. He was afraid that Mo Hua would curse him again, and he couldn't bear it. In terms of provoking people, he admitted he was not as good as this little devil.

Mo Hua curled his lip and muttered: "Curses finished, then runs away, a coward." He had already thought of what to curse, but Zhang Quan ran fast, and he didn't have time to say it out. Mo Hua regretted it a little, it seemed he could only wait for next time.

Once Zhang Quan escaped, the battle stopped. The mine was a mess after a fierce battle. Mountains and stones were broken, and the well cave was destroyed. Everywhere were walking corpses' remains, and some walking corpses, with their heart veins dug out, lay on the ground, twitching unconsciously.

The iron corpse was taken away by Zhang Quan. Most of the remaining walking corpses had killed each other and destroyed their chests, with only a few walking corpses' chests intact. Besides, there were the coffins in the mine. These coffins should have been used to refine and hide corpses, totaling dozens. The iron corpse was hidden in an iron coffin, and most of the other walking corpses were hidden in wooden coffins.

After a fierce battle, Bai Zi Sheng was also very tired. He took a breath, recovered his spirit power, and then asked: "Still want to chase?"

Mo Hua thought for a moment and shook his head: "Not in a hurry, cast a long line to catch a big fish."

Bai Zi Sheng was slightly startled: "There's still a big fish? Is Zhang Quan not a big fish?"

"Yes." Mo Hua nodded, pointing to the coffins and walking corpses in the mine, "These are too few."

Bai Zi Sheng opened his mouth, "This is still few?" Here were dozens of walking corpses, fierce and unafraid of death, cooperating with the iron corpse, probably not an opponent for an ordinary early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. Bai Zi Sheng had deep cultivation, but after fighting until now, he also felt a bit tired, and his spirit power consumption was also quite large. If there were more of these walking corpses, besides running, he would be powerless. Otherwise, he would be exhausted to death sooner or later.

Mo Hua frowned and said: "Zhang Quan has been hiring murderers to kill people for decades. In these decades, who knows how many mine cultivators have been killed, and then their corpses bought by him..."

"He bought these corpses, should be just for refining corpses."

"With so many corpses, it's impossible to only refine these dozens of zombies."

"Elder Yu told me about the cunning rabbit's three holes principle."

"Zhang Quan doing this is a matter not tolerated by the Dao Court as a demonic path, and he will definitely leave several retreat routes."

"So I guess, he definitely has other hiding places, hiding a lot of coffins, and inside the coffins are still hiding a lot of zombies..."

Bai Zi Sheng opened his mouth wide, and then indignantly said: "This Zhang Quan, really deserves to die!"

Mo Hua also nodded in agreement. After that, he said again: "Actually, there is still one problem."

"Array law?" Bai Zi Sheng asked.

"Um." Mo Hua nodded, "Zhang Quan, this person, at first glance, doesn't know array law, but he controls corpses using the bell, refines the zombies' bodies, including the ones on these coffins, all are array laws..."

"This shows that someone drew the array laws for him!"

"This person's array law attainment must be not low, and it is very likely that he has also comprehended Absolute Arrays..."

"This kind of Absolute Array might not be a proper array law, but an Absolute Array within Evil Arrays..."

Mo Hua's expression was somewhat grave. "Absolute Array..."

Bai Zi Sheng also shivered internally. He looked at the zombies lying on the ground and asked Mo Hua again: "Are the array laws on these walking corpses' bodies Absolute Arrays?"

Mo Hua held his small chin and pondered: "Possible..."

"Possible?"

"Um." Mo Hua looked at the zombies on the ground and nodded, "It's still hard to say now, I have to research it first..."

In the wilderness on the other side of the mine. The ground bulged, stones rolled, and Zhang Quan emerged, gasping for rough breaths, relaxing in his heart. He finally escaped. He never thought that he would be chased like a stray dog by three little cultivators in his life.

The surroundings were desolate, with no other cultivators or demon beasts. Zhang Quan rested slightly, and a trace of doubt floated up in his heart. Why was he found? He had clearly thrown away that needle...

Zhang Quan released his divine sense and scanned his surroundings. Suddenly, his gaze condensed, and he grabbed his messy hair. After a long while, he pinched out a fine needle from his hair. There was actually still one? Zhang Quan took a slight breath of cold air, a panic in his heart.

He immediately twisted and broke the fine needle and threw it away, then used Earth Escape again to escape to another small stream by a mountain forest, letting the iron corpse guard him, only then did he feel a little secure. After that, he changed his clothes, washed off the blood and dirt, bandaged his wounds, and then checked himself with his divine sense, finding no other suspicious things around his body, and finally relaxed completely.

Zhang Quan was a bit emotional. These mere little kids, how could their thoughts be so deep, their means so hidden, making people unable to guard against them enough. Zhang Quan's head ached endlessly.

Afterwards, he thought of something and became a little worried. Although he controlled the corpses with the copper bell and destroyed most of the array laws, a few walking corpses still remained in the end. If the walking corpses remained, it meant that traces of the array law were left behind.

Zhang Quan frowned. He remembered that person's instruction: "This array law cannot be discovered by anyone. Once discovered, either kill to silence, or destroy the corpses and wipe out the traces!" When that person said these words, his state changed from normal, his expression terrifyingly serious.

Zhang Quan pondered for a moment, and suddenly let out a light laugh. It was just his unfounded worry. "A few zombies, a few incomplete array laws, it is estimated that they can't see anything..." Array law is difficult to learn. And this corpse refining array law is even more obscure and difficult, strange and unthinkable, beyond normal array principles. Even if it's an array master, there is fundamentally no one who can learn it. That little devil is young and still in the Qi Refining stage, it would be strange if he could understand it.

Zhang Quan sneered, not minding it.

Suddenly, the mountain wind blew over, stirring the stream water. The sunlight refracted in the water, shining brightly. Mo Hua's bright and profound gaze flashed through Zhang Quan's mind. Zhang Quan's heart trembled, his frown tightened, and he murmured: "Should... shouldn't be able to understand it, right..."
