The self-cultivators beneath the royal palace were all astonished by this scene.
They thought Qingfeng Li would be easily defeated and killed, but unexpectedly, he struck the Fiery-Sun Kingdom Patriarch two steps back instead.
The Fiery-Sun Kingdom Patriarch stared at Qingfeng Li with shock. After all, he was the ancestor of the Fiery-Sun Kingdom, although his cultivation had dropped after he was injured from Qi Deviation when he tried to break through to the Spirit Monarch Realm five hundred years ago.
But even so, he was still a mighty self-cultivator. He never thought Qingfeng Li would have such powerful body strength that could beat him.
But he didn’t know that Qingfeng Li was more shocked than him. Qingfeng Li’s attack contained the power of the Gold Dao Seed and Strangle Hell Fist.
This punch could destroy even the self-cultivators in the Eighth Level of the Supreme Realm, but the Fiery-Sun Kingdom Patriarch withstood it. He was truly incredibly powerful.
Qingfeng Li looked at the Fiery-Sun Kingdom Patriarch, saying, “Not bad, blocking my punch. We’ll see how many punches you can take.”
After saying these, Qingfeng Li directly channeled the Mortal Purgatory Body technique and Gold Dao Seed, forming a black talisman script and a gold one above his fist. The talisman scripts weaved together and formed two strands of powerful energy.
Qingfeng Li then began swinging his fists forward, one punch, two punches, three, four, five…
He punched dozens of times, with each one shattering the void and exploding the air, smashing heavily at the Fiery-Sun Kingdom Patriarch.
The Fiery-Sun Kingdom Patriarch channeled his fire elemental vital essence and crashed his fists against Qingfeng Li’s. But his body strength was not as powerful as Qingfeng’s, and he was forced to retreat under the attacks.
In the blink of an eye, the Fiery-Sun Kingdom Patriarch was struck tens of steps backward.
The Fiery-Sun Kingdom Patriarch felt humiliated. He came for killing Qingfeng Li but was beaten up in front of numerous self-cultivators, which was extremely embarrassing.
With an idea flashing through his head, the Fiery-Sun Kingdom Patriarch took out ten array flags from his ring.
Each of the array flags was over half a meter high, with a flagpole made of red spiritual wood and a red banner made of flame lion pelt with lots of fire type talisman scripts inscribed on it.
Those talisman scripts looked like red tadpoles, rotating with terrifying flame aura.
Qingfeng Li was surprised by these treasures that the Fiery-Sun Kingdom Patriarch brought out. He could clearly feel the scary temperature and aura of the array flags. These ten array flags were definitely no normal spiritual treasures.
He could even sense a touch of the energy in the Spirit Monarch Realm. They must be Spirit Monarch Realm spiritual treasures; otherwise, Qingfeng Li wouldn’t be so anxious.
“Flame Array Formation!”
The Fiery-Sun Kingdom Patriarch shouted out loud, and threw those the array flags around Qingfeng Li, circling him in the middle.
These array flags surrounded Qingfeng Li in every direction and then turned bigger rapidly, until they were hundreds of feet high.
Qingfeng Li looked around and found that the area around had suddenly been covered in red flames. It became a world of flames with nothing else. He couldn’t see the royal palace nor the Lingyun Emperor.
The voice of Dark Night Emperor suddenly rang into Qingfeng Li’s mind, “Interesting, the monarch level Flame Array Flags.”
Qingfeng Li had dabbled in array formations and talisman scripts, but he could find no flaw after a long time of checking.
So he could only ask Dark Night Emperor.” Senior, you said it’s an monarch level array formation? Then I can’t break it. I can only solve supreme level ones currently.”
Dark Night Emperor answered, “Of course you can’t. Your spirit energy must reach the Spirit Monarch Realm to break the monarch level array formation. Now your spirit energy is at most in the Ninth Level of the Supreme Realm, which is still an inch away from enough. But I can help you.”
The soul of Dark Night Emperor flew out of Qingfeng Li’s long sword. Though the Flame Array Flags exuded searing temperature and powerful flame, they couldn’t harm Dark Night Emperor at all.
He had restored his spirit energy to the Spirit Monarch Realm, thanks to Qingfeng Li’s elixirs and treasures.
Two bright lights shot out of his eyes. They were not white lights, but actually black ones.
The black lights shot at the ten array flags, making them shine dazzlingly. The red tadpole-liked talisman scripts all turned clear under the black lights.
At this moment, the Fiery-Sun Kingdom Patriarch was laughing with arrogance and cruelty outside the array formation.
He took a glance at the Lingyun Emperor and said, “Qingfeng Li is now trapped in my monarch level spiritual treasure, the Flame Array Flags. Soon he’ll be burned into ashes. Then I’ll destroy Lingyun by wrecking your royal palace and killing all your self-cultivators.”
Hearing these words, the Lingyun Emperor was frightened, with a pale look and sweat dripping along his forehead.
The Lingyun Emperor was also a self-cultivator and could easily sense the power of the Flame Array Flags. Those were spiritual treasures in the Spirit Monarch Realm and were far beyond Qingfeng Li’s level.
He looked at the Flame Array Flags with despair, for he knew that Qingfeng Li was the most powerful man in Lingyun. If Qingfeng Li was killed, the entirety of Lingyun would die with him.
Mengyao Xu revealed an anxious look on her pretty face. She wanted to help Qingfeng Li.
But Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake stopped her, saying, “Step back, you’ll only make trouble for Qingfeng if you try to help.”
Mengyao Xu was irritated, “Why are you two stopping me? Qingfeng Li is now trapped by Monarch Level Flame Array Flags and is in great danger. I’ll go save him.”
Black Puppy shook its head and said, “It’s not necessary. Qingfeng Li has his way. Trust him. On the other hand, you are no opponent for the array flags if you go.”
Others might not know Qingfeng Li’s cards on his hand, but Black Puppy knew them well. Everything would be okay with the help of Dark Night Emperor.
Mengyao Xu was stopped by Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake eventually, for she knew Black Puppy would help Qingfeng Li if he were in real danger.
After checking for a while, Dark Night Emperor found the flaws of the Flame Array Flags.
