Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2286 Chapter 1054: Fierce Battle (Part 3)

"Truly, we've been exploited by these young sect rascals, curse it..."

No one could figure out how these sect youngsters spotted the weakness to sneak into this chamber, yet with the Taoist Court launching a fierce assault, the crisis was dire, leaving no time for investigation.

"Seize these prodigies, drive off those Taoist Court hounds!"

"Unless the Taoist Court pulls back, we'll execute these young whelps one after another!"

Ao Zheng, Shen Cangfeng, Xiao Ruohan, and the rest boiled with rage at these words.

These were all heaven-favored prodigies, revered from a young age—when had they ever been labeled "young whelps"?

Anger surged through every one of them right then, urging them to charge ahead and battle, yet Mo Hua sharply scolded:

"Maintain the formation! Don't forget my earlier words—stick to defense, avoid any thoughts of slaying!"

"These demon path scum are fated to perish eventually; they're not worth staining our hands..."

Ao Zheng and his companions came to a stop.

The Demon Golden Core glared at Mo Hua with poisonous intent upon hearing this and sneered coldly:

"You little rascal, boasting so boldly."

His mouth gaped open, fangs bared, a putrid breath erupted as he called forth a White Bone Lantern magic treasure to shield himself, then morphed into a blast of Yin wind hurtling toward Mo Hua.

However, Mo Hua remained seated at the hall's innermost recess, shielded by prodigies from the Four Sects and Eight Gates Twelve Streams.

Ao Zheng unleashed a mighty Dragon Roar, his fist infused with Dragon Qi smashing into the Demon Golden Core's form.

In just an instant, it disrupted the demon cultivator's Yin Wind Escape technique.

Next, Xiao Ruohan's sword Qi—One Sword from Heaven—razor-sharp, slashed at the Demon Golden Core's rear.

Following that, Shen Cangfeng struck with his formidable Cangfeng Sword Qi, alongside Wanxiao Sect's secret Five Elements circulation skill.

Ahead stood the Sever Gold Sword, Gui Water Sword, Lingxiao Sword, Carefree Sword, Purple Mist Skill, Daluo Flying Sword Control from the Eight Great Gates, plus eighteen Vajra Sect prodigies resembling bronze and iron statues.

The five Tai'a brothers stood like five ferocious door guardians, protecting Mo Hua.

Linghu Xiao had his Chongxu Sword True Art primed as well.

Hundreds of gifted disciples from the Four Sects and Eight Gates wielded their sects' elite Daoist magics, weaving together into a prodigies' "Great Wall" that blocked all paths to Mo Hua—even this Demon Golden Core, whose cultivation was unfathomable and Daoist skills horrifying, couldn't advance a single step momentarily.

Approaching Mo Hua proved impossible, much less slaying him.

The Demon Golden Core swiftly sensed the dire situation.

Were these prodigies scattered in separate arrays, regardless of their genius or fine heritages, they'd be mere meat on the block before a merciless Golden Core great demon like him, ripe for the kill.

Yet astonishingly, these prodigies of the Four Sects and Eight Gates Twelve Streams cast aside their sect rivalries to form a solid "iron board", moving in perfect unison, proving immensely difficult to crack.

What sort of influence and methods could rally such wild geniuses into unity?

The Demon Golden Core gazed toward Mo Hua amid the throng, a flicker of fear piercing his savage, blood-hungry stare.

"Kill!"

Refusing to waste more time, he commanded every evil cultivator and demon cultivator to launch a collective assault on Mo Hua and his group.

Yet Mo Hua had long set up the formation, with the floor covered in inscribed arrays.

These prodigies, once trapped and nearly slain by Mo Hua's arrays during the Shura Sword Discussion, now fought fiercely against the horde of demon cultivators under his guidance, bolstered by his formation's aid.

A mix of complicated emotions and relief washed over everyone.

Mo Hua's arrays proved mighty; with the formation's enhancement, the inherently brilliant geniuses gained even more formidable power.

Linghu Xiao and others slipped on Five Elements Source Armor, harnessing the Five Elements amplification to erupt with vast spiritual force, routing the demon cultivators.

Solely the Demon Golden Core, leveraging his superior realm's pressure, managed to clash head-on with the combined might of these prodigies.

But no more than that.

Golden Core or not, he couldn't pierce this "iron board" of prodigies to tear out a chunk for now.

Mo Hua refused to grant him such an opening.

Pure defense without aggression—that was the strict rule he'd established in advance.

Thoughts of killing breed haste, haste exposes weaknesses, and any weakness shown means death for someone.

Conversely, solid defense while awaiting Taoist Court aid ensured no losses on their side, and none of these demon cultivators would flee.

Events unfolded precisely as Mo Hua had foreseen.

Regardless of the demon cultivators' frenzied charges, they failed to shatter Mo Hua's defensive line.

Indeed, their wild rushes led several to fall beneath Linghu Xiao's sword Qi.

Time wore on, and at last, the Taoist Court reinforcements arrived.

Yanluo Mountain's Evil Formation endured "internal chaos and external assault".

These demon cultivators suffered "attacks from front and back". Dozens of Taoist Court Golden Cores spearheaded the charge, plunging into the demon ranks for a brutal massacre.

That Demon Golden Core, despite profound cultivation, roiling demonic energy, and potent Daoist arts, couldn't endure the onslaught from dozens of righteous Golden Cores; soon, an Ice Sword sealed his throat, a Wind Blade ripped his chest, and myriad swords pierced him fatally.

All the Golden Core Evil Formation Masters met their end. Thus, every demon cultivator in Yanluo Mountain was utterly wiped out.

Gu Changhuai and the many Golden Core Supervisors beheld Mo Hua unharmed alongside the throng of sect prodigies, and relief surged through them as the crushing weight on their hearts finally eased.

"Uncle Gu." Mo Hua called out.

Gu Changhuai fixed Mo Hua with a profound gaze, brimming with pride, fortune, and gratitude, before inquiring: "Are you alright?"

"Mm." Mo Hua nodded.

Gu Changhuai skipped the chit-chat and stated solemnly: "This isn't the spot for words; let's depart first."
