Chapter 1388

As the Thunder Dragon was refined, the corners of Zi Chen's eyes twitched even more violently, and the pain increased exponentially.

In front of him, the compressed Thunder Dragon was slowly disappearing as the refinement continued.

The Nine-Star Thunder King Physique contained great power, and the source of this power was the position of the heart. As his body absorbed more power, Zi Chen's heart beat even more vigorously.

At this moment, the position of Zi Chen's heart had long been surrounded by streaks of lightning. The silver light was resplendent, just like the Lei Yuan back then. The only difference was that the Lei Yuan was in Zi Chen's heart back then, but now the lightning was outside of his heart.

As the resplendent lightning surged, a dazzling Xing Chen slowly appeared in Zi Chen's heart.

When the Xing Chen fully appeared, the pained expression on Zi Chen's face disappeared, and was replaced by a comfortable feeling that spread throughout his body.

At this moment, his heart was beating vigorously. As his heart beat, streams of golden blood that contained great power flowed into every part of Zi Chen's body.

At this moment, Zi Chen's Thunder King Physique had officially broken through to One Star. At this moment, his physical body was comparable to that of a First Grade Domain Realm cultivator.

"It's time to leave."

Zi Chen turned around and glanced at the stone tablet. Then, he stepped forward and was about to pull the stone tablet out.

"Boom!"

As Zi Chen exerted his strength, the gold and silver light around his body became even more resplendent. At the same time, the entire sea of lightning trembled.

…

Something big was happening in the Ninth Level of the Lightning Territory.

The vengeful Hu Ping City cultivators were finally enraged by the not-so-clever provocation of the three factions. They were currently engaged in an open and honorable battle to the death.

There were only seven people from Hu Ping City. However, there were over three hundred people from the three factions. Among these three hundred people, there were over two hundred who were at the first layer Domain stage, over twenty who were at the intermediate first layer Domain stage and the rest were at the half-step Domain stage.

The moment the battle began, the seven people from Hu Ping Cheng's side displayed an extremely powerful fighting strength. This caused the three factions to suffer great losses. Helpless, the three factions could only continuously retreat, being chased like stray dogs.

Such a scene caused the other powers to be in an uproar, and all of them had an even deeper understanding of the strength and terror of the cultivators of Huping City.

However, this situation did not last for long before the seven of them fell into an ambush. They were directly surrounded by many great formations, and they were trapped for a whole seven days.

During those seven days, although the cultivators of Huping City displayed extremely powerful attacks, they were unable to break through the formation. Moreover, all of them were heavily injured.

Outside the array, the leaders of the three forces appeared. Beside them, there were dozens of Domain Realm experts. As for the other experts, they had already entered the array and were waiting for an opportunity to kill Hu Pingcheng's group of seven.

Looking at the seven people in front of him, Yan Fen coldly smiled and said, "So what if you are strong? Without brains, everything is useless."

Miao Zhendong nodded and said, "That's right. Their battle prowess is decent, but unfortunately, their brains aren't good. They'll definitely die this time."

Compared to the confidence of the two of them, Wan Xiong, who had suffered quite a few losses, was clearly much more cautious. He glanced at the nearly twenty Formation Masters in the sky and said, "How much longer will it take to separate the seven of them?"

Yan Fen snapped his fingers and smiled faintly, "Two hours. In two hours, the seven of them will definitely separate. After that, it'll be time to take them down one by one."

Only then did Wan Xiong relax and nod. He said, "That's good. We've paid such a great price this time, so we can't afford to make any mistakes."

There were nearly twenty Formation Masters in the sky, and all of them were at the Domain Realm. It was naturally impossible for the three factions to gather so many Formation Masters. As for the other Formation Masters, they had temporarily borrowed them from other factions after paying a great price. They would automatically leave after killing Hu Pingcheng's group of seven.

No one was a fool. The strength displayed by Hu Pingcheng's group of seven made the other factions very fearful. Therefore, the borrowing this time was very smooth.

Yan Fen confidently said, "Don't worry. If anything happens this time, there will naturally be people to help us. As for Hu Pingcheng's group, they won't be able to win the hearts of the people this time."

Last time, many factions had acted because of Zi Chen.

At that time, Zi Chen was also considered a weakling, so many people sympathized with the weak. However, it was different this time. Hu Pingcheng's group had forcefully appeared and took revenge. The strength they displayed made everyone fearful. This time, if they destroyed the three factions, they might destroy the other factions in the future. Even if they didn't destroy them, what if both sides encountered some kind of opportunity?

Once a fight broke out, Hu Pingcheng's group would naturally benefit. Therefore, when it involved everyone's interests, no one would help them this time.

In reality, this was indeed the case. Many people hoped that Hu Pingcheng's group would die because they were really too strong.

Within the formation, Hu Pingcheng's group of six and Lu Guangcheng's group of seven also had some conflicts.

Man Shi was covered in blood. Just a moment ago, he had blocked a lot of attacks for everyone. After the first wave of attacks ended, he swallowed a drop of king level Yuan liquid and said coldly, "I already told you not to be rash. Don't be rash. This is a scheme. However, you didn't listen and even dragged others into it."

Not far away, the pale-faced Wu Xie said angrily, "You idiot, what do you know? How do you write the word 'scheme'? Do you even know?"

Man Shi glared and asked, "Who are you calling an idiot?"

"Of course it's you. Oh, no, I was wrong. You're not an idiot. You're just a pure idiot." Wu Xie also gave tit for tat.

"You're courting death." Man Shi suddenly stood up, his body filled with a tyrannical aura.

Wu Xie also stood up, unconvinced. The vertical pupil between his eyebrows opened and closed.

"Hmph, it's all because of you. If you hadn't been so focused on comparing yourself to Zi Chen, how could you have been tricked? And you still want to compare yourself to Zi Chen? Other than being uglier than Zi Chen, what else do you have?" sneered Man Shi.

"Go die." Wu Xie stomped his foot in anger when he heard that word. He looked like he wanted nothing more than to eat Man Shi.

Seeing this scene, Man Shi couldn't help but shake his head. During the battle, these people wanted nothing more than to jump up and block all the attacks for the others. They were even closer than real brothers. However, after the battle, they all blamed each other.

In Man Shi's eyes, this group was truly strange. It was so strange that it was even a little deformed.

"Enough. Are you two done yet?"

A cold voice rang out. Shangguan Hong opened her eyes and glanced at the two of them. "If you still have energy, then charge out and kill. We still need to heal."

After saying that, she closed her eyes again.

Shangguan Hong was very clear that her words carried weight. It wasn't because of her strength, but because she was a woman. The two of them couldn't possibly compete with her.

The two of them glared at each other fiercely. Although they no longer blamed each other, they had no intention of reconciling.

"This matter is our fault. If it weren't for us, none of you would have been involved." Gu Wen and Yuan Shiqiang walked out with a guilty expression.

"Hey, don't blame yourselves. This matter is Wu Xie's fault. It has nothing to do with you two." Man Shi patted the two of them on their shoulders and said slowly.

In other people's great array, they were still able to heal and blame others. It was all because of the safety zone that the two of them had set up for everyone.

Glancing at everyone, Gu Wen said worriedly, "It's impossible for them to kill us here. However, with so many great arrays here, they're clearly not as simple as they seem. I suspect that they'll make a big move soon."

"What big move?" Everyone turned their heads and looked at Gu Wen.

"Scatter. They'll split us up and attack us one by one." Gu Wen gritted his teeth and said the worst possibility.

Everyone's expression changed when they heard that.

They were very strong. When they worked together, their strength was so strong that the three forces were afraid of them. However, once they were separated and attacked one by one, the possibility of them surviving was too small. Moreover, they were in the enemy's array.

A heavy atmosphere began to spread. Even Wu Xie and Man Shi stopped arguing.

After a while, Wu Xie stood up and said, "This matter started because of me. If we still have a chance, I'll be in front. You two brothers will try to break the array, and we'll rush out like this."

"How? Relying on your immortal body? If your body can't regenerate in time, what awaits the others is death."

Man Shi waved his hand and said, "Forget it. I'm tough and have a strong defense. I'll be the first to rush out."

Yuan Shiqiang shook his head again. This was indeed a strange team. Everyone was very strange. They were just blaming each other, but now they were thinking about the safety of others.

Unfortunately, although the few of them had made up their minds, the three forces did not give them the chance.

"Haha, people of Hu Ping Cheng, just wait for your death."

As the laughter came from the outside, the entire array began to operate again. Wu Xie and the others in the array had a drastic change in their expressions.

In the sky, nearly 75 Domain Realm Array Masters began to form seals. One array after another appeared in the sky. Then, waves of destructive aura rippled out from the array.

"Boom!"

With just one attack, the safe zone that the two brothers had jointly created was shattered. Immediately after, ripples of light appeared in the sky. These ripples of light were like walls. After they appeared, they separated the seven of them one after another.

During this period, no matter how Man Shi and the others attacked, they could not destroy the ripples of light.

This was the strength of an Array Master. As long as they set up the array in advance, they could kill enemies above their level.

At this moment, there was no problem for more than a dozen people to surround Hu Ping Cheng's group.

In the distance, the onlookers were in an uproar when they saw this scene.

Once the seven of them were separated, they would be defeated one by one. The seven of them would definitely die.

As if they could see the scene of the seven of them dying, the crowd shook their heads and sighed.
