Signing In At Mount Sword For 100 Years To Become Invincible

172 Phoenix Rebirth

“Liu Hongshan!”

Lin Ran shouted and gestured for Liu Hongshan to look at the ground.

In just a short while, the gravel on the ground was flowing much faster. If it was a trickle when Lin Ran first saw it, it had at least become a river now.

When Liu Hongshan saw the abnormality on the ground, he immediately frowned. “Is it quicksand?”

Lin Ran shook his head without thinking because while the two of them were talking, countless gravel had already flowed past his feet, but he didn’t feel trapped.

Looking in the direction of the gravel flow, Lin Ran suddenly thought of something and looked back. Then, his expression turned ugly. “Where are the broken bones?”

When he shattered the clay statues just now, many yellowed bones were scattered on the ground.

However, in just a short while, the shattered bones had completely disappeared, leaving not even the smallest piece behind.

Just as the two of them were feeling puzzled,

A few small mounds suddenly bulged on the ground where the sand was flowing. As the flowing gravel slowly rose, it was as if something was about to crawl out of the ground…

“It’s the Undying Army!”

The two of them reacted almost at the same time. As soon as they finished speaking, the small mounds exploded at the same time and a few clay statues jumped out of the ground nimbly like apes!

Clang!

The Yin-Yang Sword drew an arc and instantly cut the clay statues in half.

However, Lin Ran did not look relaxed at all, because he could clearly feel that the strength of these clay statues was clearly much higher than when they first appeared!

The broken statue fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, quickly turning into dust and flowing into the sand. Almost at the same time, a few small mounds slowly rose from the ground.

At the same time, the ruins of the palace not far away began to tremble again. Since the clay statue outside could be revived, the ones that were shattered in the palace must be no exception!

Lin Ran’s expression immediately darkened. These clay statues were inexhaustible. Moreover, every time they were revived, they would be stronger than before. If this continued, he and Liu Hongshan would die of exhaustion!

“So this is the true form of the Undying Army!”

Liu Hongshan shouted excitedly, as if he had discovered something extremely shocking. He muttered excitedly, “If I’m not wrong, they will only fall asleep again after killing everyone who is marked by the smell.”

“Before that, no matter what happens, they can revive endlessly and fight their enemies to the death!”

“As their enemy, isn’t it a little strange for you to be so excited?”

Lin Ran rolled his eyes and suddenly felt that something was wrong. These clay statues could be revived indefinitely, but what was the mechanism?

From the appearance of the resurrected clay statues just now, their bodies should be made of this gravel. However, it was impossible for the gravel to move freely. There must be some kind of energy driving this process.

As he thought about this, Lin Ran casually cut open the clay statues that had just been revived. His gaze landed on the flowing gravel under his feet.

At this moment, the gravel was flowing extremely quickly, like a torrent that had gone out of control. Looking at the direction and trajectory of the current, Lin Ran suddenly felt that this scene looked familiar…

“Is this how it works?”

Lin Ran muttered and jumped into the air. 100 feet, 200 feet, 500 feet…

In the end, when he was a thousand feet above the ground, Lin Ran finally stopped. At the same time, what could not be seen while he was on the ground unfolded in front of him.

“As expected.”

Lin Ran smiled. Then, Liu Hongshan appeared beside him.

“Are you trying to escape?”

Liu Hongshan asked coldly. He held the Dragon Roar Dagger in his hand while riding Thunderball.

Although he did not make any hostile movements, it was obvious from the fact that he was holding Dragon Roar Dagger that he was on full alert.

“You’re thinking too much. I just want to confirm something.”

Lin Ran smiled and said calmly. Then, he pointed at the ground. “What do you think this looks like?”

Liu Hongshan looked at the ground suspiciously. The first thing he saw was the mud-yellow statues.

At this moment, they had already split into hundreds of teams and were running on the ground like a herd of frightened wild horses. Each team only had two or three clay statues, but they covered a huge area.

After a short moment of confusion, Liu Hongshan realized something.

The clay statues seemed to be moving around aimlessly, but they were actually moving along a specific path. Looking down from high above, their footprints outlined countless lines on the ground, as if they were drawing some complicated patterns.

Within the range of this pattern, all the gravel seemed to have come alive and surged crazily.

The flowing gravel overlapped with the still footprints, forming a huge and extremely complicated pattern that was still changing.

“This is… an array formation?”

Liu Hongshan muttered in disbelief. Even though he was experienced and knowledgeable, he had never seen such a shocking scene!

Lin Ran nodded, and the constantly changing array formation on the ground was reflected in his dark eyes. “This array formation is called Nirvana. It was created by an unknown strategist under the Heavenly Saint Emperor.”

“When the array formation was completed, the lives of 3,000 martial artists were sacrificed. From then on, the souls of these 3,000 martial artists have been imprisoned in the array formation forever for the person who set up the array formation to control.”

“If Nirvana is not broken, the souls of 3,000 martial artists will not be destroyed. They can take form using everything in the world. Moreover…”

At this point, Lin Ran suddenly stopped. He raised the Yin-Yang Sword and cut his fingertips. Drops of blood containing endless sword intent fell towards the array formation on the ground.

Liu Hongshan narrowed his eyes. “What are you doing?”

“The phoenix underwent nirvana and was reborn from the flames. The undying underwent nirvana and scourges rampaged the world.”

Lin Ran muttered softly and suddenly smiled brightly at Liu Hongshan. “If the enemy’s flesh and blood falls into the array formation, it will become nourishment for the 3,000 undead… How much do you think the blood of a sixth level Half-Saint can improve them?”

Lin Ran suddenly raised his hand, and Thunderball at the foot of Liu Hongshan instantly turned into a white light and disappeared!

Without support, Liu Hongshan lost his balance and fell to the ground. Lin Ran’s eyes flickered with a cold light as he held the Yin-Yang Sword upside down and shouted coldly, “Liu Hongshan! I’ve completely understood the truth of this place. Those things will no longer pose a threat to you and me. It’s time to settle the score between us!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a white light flashed in Lin Ran’s left hand, and Thunderball appeared out of thin air again. Then, with a muffled shout, a black and white cross-shaped sword energy surrounded by countless lightning bolts suddenly slashed out!
