Chapter 173 Road Blockage

"Yu Changlin, when did such a powerful array master appear among the demon hunters? Why don't you let me see him?" Qian Hong said coldly.

Elder Yu pretended to be stupid and said, "What array master? I didn't see him."

Qian Hong's eyelids twitched, "What did you set up?"

Elder Yu said, "How should I know? I just passed by and don't know what's on the ground."

Qian Hong said angrily, "Old Yu, don't act crazy with me!"

Elder Yu looked indifferent, "Old Qian, you turtle, don't pretend to be pretentious with me!"

Qian Hong hated him secretly, but he also knew that this was not the time to talk to Yu Changlin.

Yu Changlin wanted to scold him here for a day and a night. When the demon hunter brought the spiritual mine into the city, their Qian family would be powerless.

The earth fire array is lethal to cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, but it is less threatening to cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

At this time, the situation was urgent and there was no time to lose. Qian Hong had no choice but to go through the mountain road in front and test the location of the earth fire array.

Just as Qian Hong took a step, he suddenly realized that he was being stared at with spiritual consciousness, and it seemed that he wanted to kill him.

Qian Hong suddenly became alert, raised his head and said unhappily:

"Yu Changlin, what do you mean?"

Elder Yu's eyes were like swords, but he still said lightly: "Nothing."

Qian Hong's eyes fixed, "You want to fight?"

Elder Yu spread his hands and pretended to be open and honest: "Where did you see me fight?"

Qian Hong was so angry that his teeth itched, "You just stared at me with spiritual consciousness and had murderous intentions."

Yu Changlin said contemptuously: "That's because you are too timid. This is how I usually look at people. It's your own business if you are afraid."

Qian Hong looked at Elder Yu's eyes, which were cold, but Elder Yu was not afraid.

Qian Zhongxuan whispered: "This old man is stalling for time, Patriarch, don't fall into his calculations."

Qian Hong knew it, but he didn't have any good solution.

Qian Zhongxuan said again: "Why don't you take the lead and find out the location of the earth fire array? I will cover you."

Qian Hong glanced at him coldly, "Why don't you take the lead and let me cover you?"

Qian Zhongxuan said with a guilty look on his face: "Master, you forgot that you are fully responsible for this matter. I have been defeated repeatedly before and suffered heavy losses. I am no longer qualified to intervene in this matter."

Qian Hong cursed Qian Zhongxuan in his heart for being shameless.

He didn't know what trap Yu Changlin had set up in front of him. If he was attacked by Yu Changlin halfway, he would be seriously injured if not dead.

When the time comes, Qian Zhongxuan will come to the rescue. Not only will the credit be his, but he will also have to owe him a favor.

Qian Zhongxuan also hoped that Qian Hong would be attacked by Yu Changlin, but he would not be killed by the attack. It would be fine if he was on the verge of death or seriously injured.

The two had their own calculations and were hesitant for a while.

At this time, Qian Zhuang stepped out and saluted, saying, "May I give it a try?"

Qian Zhuang's tone was respectful, but his expression could not hide his excitement.

It was time for him to make a contribution!

He was very familiar with the Earth Fire Array. He had suffered a great loss, but he had also successfully cracked it.

Although he suffered heavy losses and was even given a serious demerit when he broke the Earth Fire Array that time, but now this opportunity, as long as he grasps it properly, this serious demerit may turn into a great achievement!

Qian Hong frowned, "Do you have a way?"

Qian Zhuang said, "Master, I have broken this Earth Fire Array before!"

"Can a Qi Refining cultivator break it?"

"Yes!"

Qian Hong was very interested, "Tell me about it."

Qian Zhuang told him about his previous method of breaking the Earth Fire Array. After listening to it, Qian Hong thought for a while and nodded, "It does make some sense."

Qian Zhuang looked delighted.

Qian Hong ordered: "I still have more than a dozen sets of armor here. Go and pick the cultivators with earth spiritual roots. The sooner the better. If this is successful, I will remember your great achievement!"

Qian Zhuang was overjoyed and said: "Yes!"

Soon, more than a dozen Qian family cultivators who were at the ninth level of Qi Refining, earth spiritual roots, good at body refining, and thick skin and flesh were selected.

They put on armor and began to disperse as Qian Zhuang said, moving forward little by little, trying to clear all the earth and fire formations in the mountain road.

Qian Zhuang was full of confidence. He had tried this before and it was a sure thing. There would be no mistakes.

As long as all the earth and fire formations were cleared, there would be a smooth road ahead. The demon hunters would be unable to fly away, and he would also have done a great deed.

Qian Zhuang thought so.

However, when the first earth and fire formation exploded, Qian Zhuang's idea was shattered.

Accompanied by a loud explosion, the scarlet flames flickered, the charred smoke burned, and the violent spiritual power vibrated.

The Qian family monk wearing iron armor was engulfed by the flames, and then was blown away by the surging spiritual power. He fell to the ground, curled up, and looked extremely painful.

Half of his body was charred and soaked in blood, and there were cracks all over his armor!

Everyone gasped, and Qian Zhuang was completely dumbfounded.

No!

How could the power be so much stronger? !

This is not the earth fire array that I broke!

Qian Hong looked at the Qian family cultivator injured by the Earth Fire Formation, and then looked at Qian Zhuang, his cold eyes were like looking at a dead fish.

Qian Zhuang's entire back was soaked with cold sweat, and he thought it was over.

It would have been better if he hadn't made such a splash, but now he was greedy for merit and rushed forward, and ended up running into the edge of the knife.

Originally, he wanted to show off in front of the head of the family, so that the previous major fault could be turned into a major merit, but now not only did the major merit disappear, but the major fault was doubled.

Qian Zhongxuan also looked at Qian Zhuang coldly, then turned his head and said to Qian Hong:

"Master, the only way now is to rush through."

Qian Hong glanced at Qian Zhongxuan, "How to rush? You have also seen the power of this formation. Even if you rush through in the late stage of Qi Refining, you will be seriously injured if you don't die."

Qian Zhongxuan's eyes flickered slightly, "This mountain road is not big. It only takes one or two hundred cultivators to risk their lives to rush through and trigger all the earth and fire formations, and the cultivators behind will have no obstacles."

Qian Hong felt cold in his heart, and his eyes looking at Qian Zhongxuan became even more unkind.

This is forcing him to be a bad guy.

Nearly two thousand people, only one or two hundred can break these earth and fire formations.

The question is, how to choose these one or two hundred people?

Or, who should be sent to die?

It would be fine if he sent it secretly, but now there are so many Qian family disciples watching openly. If he dares to do this, he basically can't think of being the head of the family.

Qian Hong gritted his teeth and said, "As the head of the family, I should lead the way and break the fire array here. I also ask Elder Qian to fight with me to prevent Elder Yu from plotting something bad."

Qian Zhongxuan pretended to shirk responsibility.

Qian Hong immediately said, "The elder's fault this time can be written off."

Qian Zhongxuan raised his eyebrows, "Really?"

"Really!"

Qian Zhongxuan said respectfully, "As an elder of the Qian family, I should stand by the head of the family!"

Qian Hong said "Pooh" in his heart, but he was relieved on his face, "There is no time to lose. We are just on guard against Yu Changlin's sneak attack."

"Okay!"

So Qian Hong and Qian Zhongxuan, two foundation-building elders, joined forces, used their skills, and personally detonated the fire array in the mountain road.

Two figures shuttled back and forth between the mountain roads, causing bursts of explosive flames and surging spiritual power fluctuations.

The two stopped only when the explosions died down, the flames died down, and the black smoke dispersed.

But at this moment, both of them were in a state of disgrace, their clothes were torn, their faces were black, and although there was no blood on their bodies, their internal organs were aching slightly due to the shock of spiritual power, and they had to suppress their mouthfuls of blood to prevent themselves from spitting it out.

Taking a bath in the first-grade earth fire array was not something that even a foundation-building cultivator could bear.
