Turns Out, I’m In A Villain Clan! Chapter 509 Nine Infernal Sun Killing Array!

Chong Sheng's face gradually chilled to ice.

Gazing at Bai Zihan positioned inside the array, a subtle smirk curled

upon his mouth.

One Month Ago-

Before his breakthrough into the Void Refinement Realm.

During that period, a brash young cultivator had dared to challenge him boldly.

The youth possessed talent, yet his hubris overshadowed it entirely.

Naturally-

Chong Sheng mercilessly pummeled him nearly to death.

Yet, what caught him off guard was the swift arrival of the boy's father.

A horrifying powerhouse.

A Great Ascension Realm cultivator.

Clearly, the boy hailed from a formidable background. Still, in Chong Sheng's view, even the father amounted to little more than a pushover.

Nevertheless, Chong Sheng's power back then fell far short of clashing head-on with such a foe.

Despite memories from his past life, the vast cultivation disparity proved insurmountable.

The instant that expert showed up-

Chong Sheng recognized defeat was inevitable.

Thus, he fled.

However, fleeing a Great Ascension Realm master proved no simple task.

The pursuer hounded him over vast mountains and endless rivers.

Wherever Chong Sheng fled, that oppressive aura clung to him relentlessly.

Multiple times-

Capture loomed perilously close.

Yet Chong Sheng was no ordinary figure.

His body brimmed with extraordinary strength.

His methods ranked supremely advanced, unknown within the Falling Star Empire.

And above all-

His slyness outmatched nearly every cultivator.

Through ruses, ambushes, and unyielding resolve, he narrowly slipped away at last.

Still, Chong Sheng harbored grudges eternally. Any offense against him-

Lingered in his memory forever.

And he spared no effort to exact vengeance.

That's precisely why-

After evading the Great Ascension Realm powerhouse, Chong Sheng set about crafting a scheme.

A lethal array.

This Grade-6 Formation.

Nine Infernal Sun Killing Array!

Every detail had been meticulously arranged.

Aimed at slaying that Great Ascension Realm expert.

Eventually-

Chong Sheng intentionally leaked hints of his whereabouts once more.

True to his calculations-

The man pursued without delay.

That Great Ascension cultivator brimmed with arrogance.

To him, dispatching Chong Sheng equated to squashing a mere insect.

Hence-

He trailed after without a second thought.

Lacking any wariness.

Free of doubt.

Precisely as Chong Sheng anticipated.

Step after step-

Drawn right into this spot.

As soon as the man entered the formation zone-

Chong Sheng triggered the snare.

Buzz!

The earth flared brilliantly in an instant.

Myriad rune patterns blazed under the man's soles.

The Great Ascension cultivator's face twisted at once. Enlightenment hit him like lightning. Yet it came too late.

Boom!

Another array promptly sealed the nearby space.

The Great Ascension cultivator desperately tried ripping through space to flee.

But his efforts crumbled utterly.

Space stood utterly locked down.

Only then did dread flicker in his gaze.

His aura surged ferociously.

The overwhelming Great Ascension Realm might blasted forth.

Mountains quaked violently.

The earth split apart.

Chong Sheng merely observed from beyond the array, utterly composed.

Next-

The array's core might awakened.

To start-

Suppression kicked in.

An enormous unseen force plunged from the skies.

The Great Ascension cultivator's countenance shifted once more.

His cultivation faced abrupt restraint.

Qi flow within him ground to a crawl.

Even shifting his frame turned laborious.

The surrounding Qi weighed like lead.

As if colossal peaks bore down from all sides.

But this marked merely the onset.

The ultimate phase triggered.

The slaughter phase.

A dreadful inferno burst forth from the array.

Runes shimmered blood-red.

Heat within the array soared astronomically.

Air warped savagely.

Even iron would liquefy in a heartbeat amid such blistering fury.

"AAAAHHHH!"

The Great Ascension cultivator bellowed in fury.

His Qi exploded chaotically in resistance.

Yet with cultivation shackled- He couldn't muster peak power.

His shielding Qi started dissolving.

Skin scorched black.

Flesh ruptured open.

Temperatures kept climbing.

Movements dragged slower and slower.

Before long-

Paralysis gripped him fully.

The Great Ascension cultivator at last grasped a horrifying truth.

Death awaited him here.

At the hands of one vastly inferior in strength.

"YOU-!"

His bellow dripped venomous rage.

Chong Sheng just watched in silence.

Heat mounted relentlessly.

Flesh charred to cinders.

Bones liquefied.

Screams reverberated through the desolate peaks.

Until at last- Nothing lingered.

Not even dust.

Even now-

That Great Ascension cultivator remained listed as vanished.

The secret stayed buried forever.

And Chong Sheng had intended to target that youth and his clan post-Quan Clan cleanup.

But currently-

His eyes fixed back on Bai Zihan.

Trapped within the identical array.

This round-

His grin broadened.

For this array had claimed even a Great Ascension Realm life.

Victory seemed assured.

Even for Bai Zihan-

Demise loomed inevitable. Chong Sheng's smile turned frostier.

Saying nothing further-

He ignited the array.

Buzz!

The enormous array under Bai Zihan's feet blazed with radiance.

Innumerable scarlet runes flared as spiritual energy rampaged through the pattern.

Ambient space pressure spiked instantly.

Bai Zihan sensed it right away.

A crushing weight assailed from every angle.

His form grew markedly leaden.

Qi circulation in his meridians lagged.

Encircling Qi thickened oppressively, like wading through an unseen mire.

Bai Zihan flexed his fingers lightly.

The restraining might bore down palpably.

Yet his face stayed utterly serene.

He lifted his gaze to Chong Sheng.

"So this is it?" His voice carried a tone of mild disinterest.

"Is this the extent of your tricks?" Chong Sheng sneered.

"You can act as confident as you want."

His gaze brimmed with icy murder lust.

"But today shall be your last day." With those words-

He unleashed the array's ultimate phase.

"The Nine Infernal Sun Killing Array!"

Boom!

The array detonated savagely.

Ground runes deepened to crimson as vast spiritual energy flooded the lines.

Then-

Temperature exploded upward.

Air shuddered fiercely. Scorching waves warped the vista.

Earth glowed faintly crimson as heat surged ever higher.

Even rocks cracked under the strain.

Soon after-

Molten beads formed on stone fringes.

Array heat had hit monstrous heights.

This embodied the array's authentic lethal force. Trapped victims endured suppression alongside live incineration from the blistering blaze.

Even steel would dissolve in moments.

Nevertheless-

Bai Zihan stood firm. Utterly poised.

He surveyed the array leisurely.

Then eyed Chong Sheng again.

His demeanor stayed flawlessly at ease.

Indeed-

He appeared even more relaxed.

For he had discerned the array's nature.

A fire-type slaughter formation.

Against nearly any other cultivator-

It could prove fatal indeed.

But for Chong Sheng's misfortune-

He picked the absolute worst counter to Bai Zihan.

Bai Zihan's frame already wielded fearsome might.

Crucially-

His body endured ceaseless forging by intense flames.

He had forged himself repeatedly via Sun Dao power.

Against those fires-

This array's heat seemed trivial.

To Bai Zihan-

It registered faintly at best.

He noted the rising warmth.

That was it.

Like basking beneath a mildly hotter sun.

Nothing else.

Bai Zihan cocked his head faintly.

Then dusted his shoulder offhandedly.

Chong Sheng's smirk froze gradually.

Initially-

He dismissed it as bravado.

Plenty of cultivators feigned poise amid doom.

But moments ticked by-

His face darkened progressively.

Array heat kept escalating.

Air twisted wildly.

Even ground glowed red-hot from the infernal blaze.

This intensity could liquify Earth Grade treasures.

Yet-

Bai Zihan endured unscathed.

No sweat beaded his brow.

Skin bore zero blemish.

In truth-

He seemed as casual as lounging in midday light.

Chong Sheng's pupils contracted sharply. (Impossible!)

This was the Nine Infernal Sun Killing Array.

Ashes should remain by now.

But Bai Zihan... Remained pristine. Even more astounding-

Chong Sheng detected no defenses from Bai Zihan.

No Qi shield.

No guard treasure.

Zero.

He simply endured.

Hardly fazed by the blaze.

Chong Sheng's eyes bulged faintly.

"How...?"

His tone lost its prior steadiness.

"How are you doing this?"

Disbelief laced his words.

Bai Zihan stretched his shoulders lazily.

1

Sensing the torrid waves cascading over him.

A subtle grin touched his lips.

He faced Chong Sheng anew. "Honestly..."

He halted briefly.

Then shrugged.

"It's a pretty good temperature for a Sun Bath."

He truly believed he'd misheard.

A Sun Bath?

Within a slaughter array that melted artifacts?

Bai Zihan rolled his neck casually, easing tension.

Then regarded Chong Sheng with near-regretful eyes.

"If this is all you have..."

He stomped the ground lightly.

"I suggest that you give up!"
