No help

Watching his Senior Brother act so stubbornly, Shi Lei could only sigh silently and began observing the operation of the array in the surroundings.

Shi Lei always remembered his mission, which was to find a way to break the array.

But from beginning to end, he had no way to comprehend the profoundness of the array; Ning Zimo had forcibly fought his way through this entire time.

"Junior Brother, are you really okay?"

Seeing Ning Zimo fight with increasing ferocity, even completely destroying the sword array that initially blocked him, Zhao Yuwei became worried again.

Xiao Feng, however, still maintained a calm expression. If the Mountain Protection Array only had this much ability, there would be no need for him to construct it.

This was an array that could literally force a fat person into a skeleton; how could it be so useless!

"Senior Sister, he didn't destroy the array, he just pushed it too hard!"

Pushed too hard?

The next second, Zhao Yuwei understood Xiao Feng's meaning.

Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth!

Five Elements Absolute Kill Array!

Activate!

The mountain gate trembled, and countless light pillars simultaneously stood before Ning Zimo, the colors on the pillars varying.

But one thing was the same!

Terror!

Each pillar contained terrifying energy, energy that could even completely shatter someone at the Essence Severing Stage.

There were no more illusory moves; instead, only pure energy attacks remained.

The five types of spiritual energy—Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—were applied to Ning Zimo in turns.

Shi Lei was dumbfounded!

But gradually, he seemed to understand something...

This is...

The Five Elements Absolute Kill Array!

This array diagram was once recorded in an inconspicuous array book on the first floor of the Library Pavilion.

He had only glanced at it in a hurry back then, never expecting to see the real thing appear before his eyes this time.

Shock was no longer enough to describe Shi Lei's current state!

Excitement!

Agitation!

Ecstasy!

But immediately following was fear!

"Senior Brother, quickly call for help! If you don't call for help now, you'll die!"

Ning Zimo's face was full of disdain.

Right now, he felt...

Terrifyingly strong!

Call for help?

"The words 'call for help' do not exist in my, Ning Zimo's, life!"

"One sword! Settle the land!"

With a roar, the long sword changed from a thrust to a slash, cutting towards the five pillars. A terrifying aura instantly swept out.

When the sword energy passed through the stone pillars, there was no reaction at all, but this did not mean the sword energy had no power.

It was more like it passed straight through.

In an instant, the sword energy struck the peak of Qing Peak.

With a loud boom!

With a clean cut, the mountain peak crashed into the valley.

This...

Could this be Yuanying Stage?

Xiao Feng was stunned. That move just now was definitely not the strength of the Nascent Soul Stage.

Not even the Essence Severing Stage might be able to unleash such a powerful move!

"Senior Sister, you told me this was Yuanying Stage?"

Zhao Yuwei was also dumbfounded.

"Senior Sister, can you do that?"

Zhao Yuwei gave a bitter smile.

Do that?

Just being able to control her body from trembling under such an attack was already her good fortune.

However, the Mountain Protection Array only now displayed its true power.

That attack just now not only had no impact on the array, but it greatly replenished the array's energy instead.

The five light pillars shone even brighter!

Seeing the situation like this, Ning Zimo also roared in excited frenzy.

"Come on! Come on! Come on!"

Grant your wish!

The light pillars shot up into the sky, as if with a precise target, and crashed towards Ning Zimo.

However, after shouting, Ning Zimo actually fell straight down from mid-air.

It was a fall!

Not a descent!

Panic filled the face of the proud young man!

Watching the light pillars slowly approach, Ning Zimo panicked.

"Help!"

In his life's dictionary, the words 'call for help' did not exist...

Xiao Feng was a bit confused. He had wanted to see the excellent performance that followed, but unexpectedly, Ning Zimo just stopped abruptly.

"Why aren't you fighting anymore!"

Zhao Yuwei keenly noticed Ning Zimo's panicked expression and instantly soared up on her sword.

Seeing this, Xiao Feng was puzzled!

"Senior Sister, where are you going?"

"Are you stupid! To save him!"

"If those two die on the mountain, then we won't be able to stay in the Sect either!"

Zhao Yuwei knew that if these two guys really died on Qing Peak, even if her Revered Master was protective, she wouldn't be able to save herself.

Shi Lei, with a look of terror, was the first to catch the falling Ning Zimo, and his cries for help also came out.

"Senior Sister, help! Stop the array!"

But this was nonsense!

Once the Five Elements Absolute Kill Array is formed!

It's a fight to the death!

Zhao Yuwei landed on the ground and used all her power to conjure three ice arrays.

The fire pillar rushed over fiercely, and these three defenses were like paper pasted together, easily broken through.

Zhao Yuwei let out a loud cry, bit the tip of her tongue, and sprayed a mouthful of fresh blood onto her hand.

Using blood as a guide!

Centered around Zhao Yuwei, three more layers of red light, like gauze, rose up.

The light fell upon the three of them. At the same time, Shi Lei also used his body-protecting technique.

The fire pillar swept past the three of them. The red and blue light dispersed, and Zhao Yuwei activated the body-protection array again; this was the only thing she could do.

The power of the fire pillar was greatly reduced, but this terrifying attack, like a sea of fire, still landed on Ning Zimo.

His arrogance was gone!

After the sea of fire extinguished, Ning Zimo's entire body was as black as charcoal. His clothes were gone, and the hair on his body had also disappeared.

In a moment of crisis, Zhao Yuwei grabbed Shi Lei and soared into the air.

Save one if possible...

Watching his Senior Brother being burned to a charcoal-like color in that sea of fire.

Shi Lei immediately cried out in agony.

"Senior Brother! Senior Brother!"

Seeing this scene, Xiao Feng was completely stunned.

Made a huge mistake!

Xiao Feng scrambled and crawled to the front of the three people, or rather, two people and one piece of charcoal.

He was really burned into charcoal. If not for the slight rise and fall of his chest, Xiao Feng would have thought the person in front of him was dead.

"What's going on? Wasn't he very strong just now?"

Xiao Feng spoke with some frustration, after all, the Mountain Protection Array increased its power based on the strength of the intruder.

Logically speaking, Ning Zimo shouldn't have ended up like this!

Zhao Yuwei shook her head, sighed, and then spoke.

"It might be because he took some pill to boost his strength just now. The pill's duration ended, and he was powerless to resist at that moment, so..."

Seeing Zhao Yuwei's self-reproachful look, Xiao Feng immediately reverted to being her protector, completely disregarding the person who looked like charcoal and instead defended her.

"Can we be blamed for this? If he hadn't forcibly intruded into the array himself, he wouldn't have ended up like this!"

"Besides, outside of Qing Peak, there were already warning signs, and there were countless warnings along the way. Didn't they know?"

Zhao Yuwei looked at the Junior Brother defending her, and a strange feeling arose in her heart, but she still shook her head.

"Saying anything now is useless. You stay here!"
