Chapter 1153: Mutual Slaughter
The spatial rift healed, and the unconscious Night Watchers were successfully sent away from this place by Yang Haoran.
Simultaneously, fierce and violent roars echoed throughout the area. Besides the roars, there were also bursts of explosions.
Their power drastically enhanced, all the trapped individuals broke free from their restraints, brutally shattering the women's tongues that had coiled around their bodies. The explosions were precisely the sounds of the tongues being forcefully torn apart.
Like rabid beasts, they lunged towards the areas most densely populated by the major factions. Whether it was because Yang Haoran was situated in this very area, or due to Wan Wu Yi's subtle manipulation, two individuals, unlike the others, didn't charge towards the most densely populated regions of the major factions. Instead, they charged directly at Yang Haoran, making him their primary target.
On the other side, the Corpse King had destroyed several Corpse Suppression Talismans for Wan Wu Yi, but the fierce attacks from the major factions followed immediately. Wan Wu Yi, having completed his hand seals, showed no trace of panic. He seemed to have prepared in advance, thus he made no visible movement, and a blood-red skull suddenly appeared above his head.
Dense bloody aura surged from within the skull. The bloody aura violently churned, transforming into a tormented human face that shielded Wan Wu Yi and the Corpse King below. All the incoming attacks from the major factions slammed into this massive human face.
Boom! ! !
With an explosive sound, the human face was instantly torn apart by the combined attacks, utterly unable to withstand such terrifying assault.
As the human face shattered, the blood-red skull beneath it emitted a crisp sound, then cracks appeared, and finally, it too exploded.
There was no doubt this blood-red skull was a powerful demonic artifact. But against the fierce attacks of the major factions, it only managed to hold on for a single instant. After that instant, this demonic artifact was completely destroyed; not only could it no longer exert its original power, but it had no chance of repair either.
However, that brief instant gave Wan Wu Yi a moment to catch his breath. By the time the blood-red skull shattered, he had already retrieved the Array Disk controlling the grand array of this place from his independent space.
Once the Array Disk was out, he didn't hesitate, tapping it with a single finger.
As the Array Disk activated, a blood-colored barrier instantly appeared, enveloping him and the Corpse King.
A portion of the major factions' attacks still remained after shattering the blood-red skull. However, this remaining power also failed to hit Wan Wu Yi, with the vast majority being blocked by the suddenly appearing blood-colored barrier. Wan Wu Yi was unharmed, and the Corpse King beside him was also untouched by these attacks.
However, Wan Wu Yi's three subordinates behind him were not so lucky. Because they were very close to Wan Wu Yi, and the suddenly appearing blood-colored barrier didn't envelop them, a portion of the attacks landed directly on them.
The three were still rolling on the ground in agony; their intense pain prevented them from even sensing the approaching danger. Even if they could sense it at that moment, their current condition would certainly prevent them from dodging.
Without any surprise, that small portion of attacks landed on them. The three, already severely wounded and without any means of defense, how could their mere physical bodies withstand these attacks? Therefore, their bodies were instantly blown to smithereens.
Wan Wu Yi, standing inside the barrier, showed no reaction to this, nor any intention of saving them. If he truly had wanted to spare their lives, then when he manipulated the Array Disk to set up the barrier, he certainly wouldn't have excluded them. He would have surely protected all three within the barrier; his failure to do so already indicated he had abandoned them.
"I had intended to keep you around for a while longer. If you were truly willing to follow me, letting you live a bit longer wouldn't have been an issue. But you insisted on seeking death yourselves, so I had no choice but to grant your wish."
Wan Wu Yi said, smiling. He didn't turn to look at the three who had been blown to smithereens, but his soliloquy was spoken for them, though they could no longer hear it.
"Wan Wu Yi, don't think that with this grand array protecting you, you'll be safe and sound. Even if your grand array is strong, it's not stronger than the combined attacks of all of us!"
One person roared furiously at Wan Wu Yi. As this person's voice rang out, many more attacks landed on the blood-colored barrier.
The major factions' assault on Wan Wu Yi didn't cease because of the sudden appearance of the blood-colored barrier. On the contrary, after the blood-colored barrier blocked the residual power of the first wave of attacks, a continuous stream of assaults followed. Without exception, all of them slammed into this blood-colored barrier. Judging by their posture, everyone intended to forcefully shatter the blood-colored barrier and then slay Wan Wu Yi.
The defensive power of the blood-colored barrier was strong, but it couldn't withstand so many attacks, especially with many experts among the assailants. Precisely because of this, in just the blink of an eye, the blood-colored barrier began to violently shake, appearing on the verge of collapsing.
Inside the blood-colored barrier, the Corpse King seemed very agitated, but this agitation wasn't due to fear; rather, it was excitement. From his demeanor, it seemed he wanted to forcefully break through the barrier and go out to have a good fight with those present.
As for Wan Wu Yi, he appeared completely calm. Even though the blood-colored barrier, only recently formed, was violently shaking under the combined assault, not a trace of anxiety could be seen on his face.
As the one who set up this array, he naturally knew exactly how much defensive power it possessed. So, he was well aware that the blood-colored barrier he had conjured with the grand array couldn't possibly last long against the combined attacks of everyone present. Given the current situation, even if he used the grand array to reinforce the blood-colored barrier, it would shatter under the combined assault within a short time.
However, he didn't manipulate the Array Disk to reinforce the blood-colored barrier. Instead, he looked at the person who had spoken and burst into laughter.
"Hahahahaha, instead of worrying about me, you'd better worry about yourselves first!"
As Wan Wu Yi spoke, the trapped individuals from the woman's mouth had already reached the most densely populated areas of the major factions. Like rabid beasts, they launched a frenzied assault on the people from the major factions.
It was less of an attack and more of a slaughter. Because the trapped individuals' strength had been greatly enhanced at this moment, each of them was as fierce as a lion or a tiger. Conversely, though the major factions had numerous members, the vast majority lacked the strength to contend with these trapped individuals. Therefore, when these trapped individuals charged into their areas, it was like a pack of wolves entering a sheepfold!
In just the blink of an eye, dozens had died at the hands of these trapped individuals.
The person who had spoken originally intended to mock Wan Wu Yi for not knowing his place, but after witnessing this scene, his face changed dramatically. He swallowed his words and quickly mobilized his strength to deal with these rampaging trapped individuals.
With the trapped individuals joining the fight, the powerful momentum of the major factions was immediately suppressed. The major factions naturally wouldn't allow these trapped individuals to one-sidedly slaughter their people. So, they had no choice but to divert their attention to deal with these trapped individuals. This resulted in more than half of those attacking Wan Wu Yi suddenly decreasing, with only a small portion still assaulting him.
However, the attacks from this small portion of people lacked the powerful momentum of the previous full assault, nor did they possess the same formidable strength. This caused the blood-colored barrier, which had been violently shaking and on the verge of shattering, to temporarily stop shaking so intensely.
This scene made Wan Wu Yi laugh even louder and more heartily.
"Hahahahaha, while all of this was within my expectations, witnessing it firsthand still brings me immense joy. Still, playing it like this feels a bit lacking in atmosphere. I'll take a little more trouble to change things up and make this good show even more interesting."
As his words fell, Wan Wu Yi formed a strange hand seal, and a dense bloody aura rose from his body. The trapped individuals, who had been furiously slaughtering the major factions, seemed to receive a silent command. They all switched their targets, then lunged at the people belonging to their own respective factions.
