Chapter 108: You May Break the Array
"I, Shen, will not hand over my wife. Senior, you may break the array; if I cannot hold it, at least I will be true to my heart."
Shen Wang spoke calmly. This was the truth of his heart; within his ability, he would not give her up.
"What a sentimental and righteous lad, but unfortunately, the sentiments of the weak hold no value. It's just self-deception and self-moved."
Profound Thunder Zhenren praised in the first half of the sentence but mocked in the latter, his face full of sarcasm.
"I still have some principles. If I abandon everything, I fear I will not get far on my cultivation path in the future."
Shen Wang said calmly, not angered by the other's ridicule.
"Ha, what a bunch of nonsense you spout. No wonder your Shen Family is in such decline."
Profound Thunder Zhenren listened with increasing disdain.
"Paths differ, hence no mutual plan."
This sentence from Shen Wang indicated that there was no room for negotiation.
Profound Thunder Zhenren's eyes flashed with a malicious light: "Boy, if I break this array, it won't just be about taking someone, but you will also lose your life!"
"Senior, break it first, then talk."
Shen Wang performed a gesture, the ancestral home's top shone bright with golden light, a thick Vajra Shield emerged from Shield Mountain, surrounded by blue water light, one end connected to the Vajra Shield, the other to Shield Mountain, forming a closed loop.
Profound Thunder's eyes squinted, revealing surprise.
He did not expect an abandoned member of a fallen clan to set up such an array, even he wasn't sure he could break it.
"No wonder you have some backbone, but alas, your vision is still limited."
He snorted coolly, pointing at the array, a ray of lightning shot out, like thunderbolt descending from the sky, striking the Vajra Shield with a boom.
Boom!
With a loud noise, the array seemed struck by thunder, trembling violently.
The attacked area distorted, revealing a Thunderbolt Longsword, strands of electric snakes released, but dispersed by the Vajra Shield, then channeled into the Shield Mountain Array, akin to a lightning rod effect.
Seeing that the single Vajra Shield withstood the opponent's tentative strike, Shen Wang felt at ease.
At this moment, the array's power had not been fully activated; even if the opponent wasn't going full force, he was confident in handling the upcoming attacks.
He sensed the array's changes, waiting for the next wave of attack.
To the naked eye, Profound Thunder Zhenren's face turned ugly, his thick brows rising slightly, snorting coldly as he activated the power of the flying sword, its size expanded again.
The sword's body expanded over nine feet, the smooth blade surrounded by thunder, steered under his control, elevating and hovering at the dome of the Vajra Shield, like the Sword of Retribution.
Zheng!
The Thunderbolt Longsword let out a clear ringing, the sword's light enlarged, its attack power reaching the peak.
"Thunder Swordsmanship, descend!"
Profound Thunder Zhenren pressed downward with a cold face, the longsword containing Thunder Power suddenly descended, heavily piercing towards the top of the Vajra Shield.
Shen Wang sensed this sword's destructive power and did not take it passively; he gestured to activate the power of the Weak Water Array, a water stream appeared over the Vajra Shield's surface.
Boom!
The blue water layer was stabbed by the sharp Sword Qi, rapidly breaking open, but water has the power to conquer hardness with softness, immediately absorbing the sharpness; even the thunder on the sword was dispersed.
The sword tip's power was cut by ninety percent, ultimately striking the Vajra Shield with a light ding, easily blocked.
The entire ancestral home's top rippled, refracting ceaselessly expanding lightning light, flickering incessantly.
The destructive Thunder Power and sharp Sword Qi continuously released but could do nothing against the small array.
Profound Thunder Zhenren frowned, all three arrays were pure Defense Arrays, with not much area, solely relying on personal power was too difficult to break through.
He said: "You two, come up here, and infuse power into my Profound Thunder Sword!"
Yun Conghui and Ge Changzhuang nodded, controlling their magical artifacts to fly into the air, each striking a beam of power, their powers similar, utilized by Profound Thunder Zhenren, the longsword's might enhanced once more.
Rumble!
The suspended Thunderbolt Longsword seemed to unleash a thunder strike.
The enormous commotion startled Liu Shan and others, their faces turned pale, looking up.
"What kind of being's attack is this, it's terrifying!"
Liu Shan shivered.
"A single electric snake could reduce us to ashes."
Hongping nodded, her expression fearful.
Jia'Er's Paper Kite was relatively calm; they knew Shen Wang would handle these troubles, but this time the trouble seemed big.
Shen Wang glanced at the Paper Kite accompanying Jia'Er outside and shook his head: "You all stay inside, I'll manage the matters outside."
"Husband, even the Third Elder of the Yun Family Main Lineage is here, you don't need to hide it from me."
Paper Kite smiled bitterly: "He is already using Thunder Swordsmanship, that's our Yun Family's Sword Technique, I've already heard it."
"We'll talk about it later, you head back."
Shen Wang said.
"I want to stay with you, I can't let you bear it alone."
Paper Kite's tears fell like large pearls.
Shen Wang sighed and said to Jia'Er: "Go accompany Xue'Er, let Paper Kite stay outside."
"Alright, husband."
Jia'Er glanced at Paper Kite: "Sister, don't bear too much of a psychological burden; husband is different from ordinary people, don't act rashly."
"Yes, sister."
Paper Kite nodded tearfully, then swiftly walked to Shen Wang's side, bravely looking out.
Through the semi-transparent Vajra Shield, she saw Profound Thunder Zhenren in black robes and turned to Shen Wang: "Husband, I heard everything, they came for me."
The three working together still showed no sign of breaking the array, unable to do anything to Shen Wang, Ge Changzhuang could only target Paper Kite.
He sneered with a hint of threat: "Cloud Paper Kite, sensibly come out on your own, Miss Ling Shu needs your Wind Spirit Blood to assist in healing, there's no time to delay, this matter concerns the family's rise and fall, can you bear the responsibility if postponed?"
Yun Conghui echoed: "Paper Kite, come out, you are contributing to the family, it's an honorable thing, hiding here will only cause harm to others and yourself."
"Honor my ass, eating your own kind while speaking so righteously?"
Shen Wang couldn't bear such hypocritical words, coldly laughing and cursing in return.
"Boy, if you keep resisting, I won't be polite!"
Profound Thunder Zhenren's eyes bore a fierce light.
"Bring it on, if you can break through, you can kill!"
Shen Wang's attitude was firm: "Want to take my wife to seize her bloodline, harm my child? Step over my corpse first!"
This sonorous and forceful speech caused Paper Kite, who was about to compromise, to break down, weeping loudly beside Shen Wang.
Inside, Jia'Er's eyes were red, dumbfounded as she watched Shen Wang outside, standing tall against the oppression of a powerful foe, deeply moved as she touched her belly with one hand and Xue'Er with the other.
In the eyes of Xue'Er, the reincarnation of the Weak Water Empress, there was a cold light; who is so blind as to bully in her home!
Should there be any harm done to her dear father this time, she would destroy the Yun Family once she grew up.
In the pool, Lan Kui was also tearfully watching Shen Wang and Paper Kite, envying such emotion.
