Apotheosis

"Lub-dub, lub-dub, lub-dub..."

Vale's heart was beating violently. The blood dripping from the wound on his face was dyeing half his face red. "Unexpected! This is really surprising!" He lifted one hand and wiped the blood with his sleeve. Then Vale turned to Zen and said, "Perrin howled like a wounded animal after a blow from you. You must have used the soul attack. No wonder Perrin lost so fast. You, a guy at the marrow refining level have mastered the soul attack cultivation method. It's really unbelievable!"

Vale had experienced a lot of battles so far. Having escaped death, he realized that he had been naive to consider Zen to be a weak opponent.

"Well, I have to admit that I made a big mistake. You are a dangerous killer disguised as a weak opponent. If it weren't for my family-awarded soul protector and my strong soul, your flying knife would have killed me," said Vale calmly as he raised his hand to rub off the blood that was still oozing from his wound. "This injury is the price I have paid for underestimating you. You've done your best to hurt me. You should be proud. However, you still have to pay for your actions, even though you are Yan's brother!"

As soon as Vale finished speaking, several lotus flowers blazing with pink light floated from his hands. However, these enchanting lotus flowers were powerful, dangerous killing weapons.

"I will pulverize you into powder!"

The lotus flowers shot toward Zen so quickly that he didn't get the chance to escape. In an instant, his body was covered by the lotus flowers.

Every lotus flower carried the weight of ten thousand pounds.

And over a hundred lotus flowers blanketed Zen's body.

Zen's body

the top of Hell Mountain; each more powerful than the next.

The six-pointed star array was quite complicated, and setting it up had been a challenging task for the top-ranked magic array master, Jone. Aside from him, no one could unravel it.

Yan bit her lower lip, looked at Zen's figure that was covered by the lotus flowers, and implored, "Okay, I will not destroy the array, but you must save my brother!"

The old man smiled and said, "I don't need to save him. It seems that someone has come to his aid."

"Who is it?" asked Yan anxiously.

The old man pointed at a flying chariot that was nearing Hell Mountain.

"Her? Princess Aura?" asked Yan. Her expression conveyed the doubt she felt. Why would Aura come to save her brother?

"Zen is Master Su's disciple," explained the old man. "Now that Princess Aura has come to save Zen, he will be fine."

"I hope so." After hearing his explanation, Yan calmed down slightly. Then she turned her head and quietly observed the incident on the mountainside. If anything bad happened, she was ready to break the six-pointed star array by force!
