Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister-Chapter 154 - 153: Doomsday

"I might not need your help after all."

Chen Xuan looked at the irritated Ghost Crane and spoke.

"Hmm?"

Ghost Crane raised an eyebrow, confused, "Kid, what do you mean?"

"You’ll know when the time comes."

Chen Xuan smiled but didn’t explain further, then instructed someone to move the four dark red boxes to an open space outside.

Deep in the night.

Chen Xuan plopped directly onto the ground, his face slightly pale.

At this moment, his spiritual power was almost exhausted, with his entire mind buzzing.

What Gu Xiu handed him was relatively simple, but that was by comparison.

Since arriving at the North City Gate, he began setting up the array, only completing a third of it.

"Kid, are you alright?"

Ghost Crane asked.

Even though they were in a military camp, they still had to be cautious, so Ghost Crane stayed by his side while Chen Xuan was setting it up.

"I’m fine, it’s just that the spiritual power consumption is a bit high, I’ll need some time to recover."

"Alright! Quickly recover, don’t worry, I’m here!"

"Thanks a lot!"

Chen Xuan gave him a grateful look, then closed his eyes to start recovering his spiritual power.

It wasn’t until sunrise that he fully recovered.

"Phew—"

"Time to get back to work!"

For a moment, Chen Xuan felt like a worker again.

...

Three days passed in a flash.

Now Chen Xuan wiped the sweat off his forehead, "Damn, finally finished setting it up. It was exhausting, I’ll never do this again." He grumbled.

No wonder people say mental fatigue is the real exhaustion.

Now he truly believed it.

"You brat, complaining after getting benefits!" At this moment, Gu Xiu’s voice slowly came from a distance.

Chen Xuan turned his head to look, only to see him walking on air.

"Greetings, my lord!"

Chen Xuan’s expression changed instantly, calling out respectfully.

"Greetings, Marshal Gu!" The soldiers guarding Chen Xuan echoed in unison.

"Alright!" Gu Xiu waved his hand at them, then inspected the array Chen Xuan had set up.

This kid was the one he was most wary about.

His gaze swept over the array diagram on the ground, inspecting each and every rune. After confirming there were no issues, he nodded in approval, "Not bad!"

Although it still felt a bit unpolished, overall it had no issues.

Besides, Chen Xuan’s part was the simplest and not the core part.

This was sufficient.

"Thank you for the praise, my lord!"

Chen Xuan behaved with utmost respect. Since the last time he sensed Gu Xiu’s spiritual power, he had been extra cautious.

"Next, when the array is activated, we’ll still need you to control part of it. Here, take this and recover your spiritual power." Gu Xiu tossed him a porcelain bottle, "I still have to check on the other two!"

After giving the order, he left, walking on air.

Phew—

Chen Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After what happened last time, he felt immense pressure facing Gu Xiu.

"Quickly recover, don’t delay Marshal Gu’s matters."

Seeing him standing there dazed, Ghost Crane reminded him.

"Mm!"

Chen Xuan nodded, then opened the porcelain bottle Gu Xiu gave him.

"This is.....?!"

Calm Spirit Pill!

Chen Xuan was stunned. He didn’t expect Gu Xiu to be so generous, giving him a Calm Spirit Pill.

With this pill, wouldn’t he have a chance to reach Tier Three Spirit Cultivator!

So he quickly sat cross-legged and put the Calm Spirit Pill in his mouth.

Bang!

A stream of clear energy surged into his mind.

In just a few breaths, the exhausted spiritual power was completely restored.

Chen Xuan immediately started cultivating the Myriad Manifestation Skill, aiming to use the pill’s effect to break through to Tier Three Spirit Cultivator in one go.

As time passed, Chen Xuan was enveloped in spiritual power.

"Good kid!"

Ghost Crane watched him deeply, his eyes growing serious. Truly remarkable.

In his expert eyes, it’s clear he’s about to become a Tier Three Spirit Cultivator.

Another genius in Spirit and Martial Dual Cultivation.

No wonder Ye Yilan had to lower their face and ask them for help back then.

And he’s so young, he might even surpass... Xuan Er in the future!

Murran!

Chen Xuan opened his eyes, feeling an unprecedented clarity.

"Is this Tier Three Spirit Cultivation?"

He murmured to himself.

He eagerly summoned the system.

....

[Realm: Martial Cultivator: Second Grade (Consciousness Sea (30%)), Spirit Cultivator: Tier Three]

[Cultivation Technique: Nine Revolutions Secret Technique (Perfection), Myriad Manifestation Skill (Fourth Level (8/64000))]

...

"Tier Three!"

Not only that, but even his consciousness sea progress increased significantly.

Recalling what Xuan Er told him, it’s best to keep Spirit and Martial Dual Cultivation in sync, with not too much disparity for better cultivation.

Now he understood.

Not to mention the mutual benefits, at least spirit cultivation could enhance martial cultivation.

"You’re really surprising me, kid, you’re already a Tier Three Spirit Cultivator." Seeing him finish cultivating, Ghost Crane immediately approached.

Chen Xuan withdrew from the system, then slowly stood up, "I must truly thank the lord for the Calm Spirit Pill, otherwise reaching Tier Three wouldn’t have been possible!"

I must say, for this, he really owed a debt of gratitude to Gu Xiu.

"Indeed, you don’t know, Lord Gu Xiu has always been very generous to his own people. As long as you are loyal and obedient, good things come to you incessantly."

He knew this well. Ever since his elders at home learned that Gu Xiu became the Commander-in-Chief of Jingzhou, they sent him messages.

First, always respect Gu Xiu!

Second, follow orders without question. Do whatever he asks without any objections!

Third, Lord Gu Xiu is very generous! But only to his own people!

These three points were impressed deeply on his mind.

So even though he was mocked countless times by the rebel forces, he still attacked the city gates vigorously every day.

He didn’t slack off at all.

"Indeed!"

Chen Xuan agreed with him, but the consequences for those who disobey were also dire.

Being by Gu Xiu’s side is really like being with a tiger; it’s hard to grasp his pulse.

To him, if he had a choice, he wouldn’t follow Gu Xiu, constantly being cautious is too tiring.

"By the way, Chen Xuan, what kind of array is it that you have? It feels even more powerful than the Nine Dragons Array!" When those four boxes were delivered, he had sneaked a look.

That one glance,

made him drool with desire.

Any one of those things could cause a great battle if placed outside.

But there were four entire boxes, and that was just at the North City Gate; he knew other gates had even more.

"Lord Ghost Crane, are you sure you want to know?" Chen Xuan’s face showed a playful smile.

"Um... pretend I never asked, and you never heard anything!"

Curiosity almost got him into trouble for a moment.

"Rest assured, back then, you four commanderies also helped me! I heard nothing!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Ghost Crane nodded repeatedly.

...

Until the early hours of the next day, Gu Xiu sent someone.

"Lord Chen Xuan, Marshal Gu’s orders: Activate the array at noon!"

"Understood!"

The messenger quickly left the North City Gate after passing the order.

At this moment, Chen Xuan gazed with a complicated expression toward the direction of Celestial Water Commandery,

"Disaster is coming."

There are tens of thousands of ordinary people there!

"Indeed, today is the disaster of Celestial Water Commandery, their doom day! Hmph!" The clueless Ghost Crane was very excited, eager to try.

He was already thinking about severely punishing those who mocked him.

He remembered the faces of these people well.

Chen Xuan glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, ’If you really knew what kind of grand array this was, who knows if you’d still be this excited.’

Fighting on the battlefield is exhilarating!

But to massacre a city like this, even battle-hardened people can’t accept it.

It’s too cruel, let alone there are so many ordinary people.

...

At noon.

Suddenly, the entire earth began to tremble slowly.

Immediately after, the array carved by Chen Xuan emitted an eerie red glow.

Seeing this,

Chen Xuan’s spiritual power surged like a tide, his hands moving continuously in the air, controlling the array.

Meanwhile, Ghost Crane on the side immediately stood ready, preparing to attack the North City Gate at any moment.

"Boom!" A loud noise erupted from the array.

The next moment, a blood-red beam shot out from the array, rushing straight into the sky, shattering the entire cloud layer.

Simultaneously, Spiritual Qi from tens of kilometers around frantically poured into the beam.

Instantly, a violent wind arose.

As more and more Spiritual Qi was absorbed, the noon sky gradually darkened, and blood-red arcs appeared above that beam.

"Boom, boom!"

The arcs flashed like lightning, emitting roaring sounds.

"This....?"

Ghost Crane looked up, staring at the blood-red beam piercing the sky, at least a hundred meters wide.

Even the heavens changed, and a terrifying aura enveloped the entire military camp, making him involuntarily swallow.

What kind of array is this?

At the same time,

at the West City Gate, the same blood-red beam emerged following a rumble, and shortly afterwards, the South City Gate too.

Finally!

"Rumble....."

The ground began to shake violently, several times stronger than before.

East City Gate!

The place where Gu Xiu personally supervised, a blood-red beam nearly a thousand meters wide appeared!

Instantly, the entire sky turned blood red!

"It really feels like the apocalypse."

At this moment, Chen Xuan had stopped, muttering to himself.

The beam was now fully autonomous, his task was done, and next it was up to Gu Xiu to fully control the array.

"Chen Xuan....this...what exactly...is happening?"

Ghost Crane also started feeling something was wrong, this seemed like an intent to completely obliterate Celestial Water Commandery.

Chen Xuan glanced at him and just sighed, not speaking.

At this moment,

Celestial Water Commandery was in chaos.

Everyone looked up at the four blood-red beams in the sky.

Not just those high-grade martial artists, even the ordinary people felt something was amiss, the oppressive feeling was suffocating.

"Heavens, what’s happening?"

"Is the sky punishing us?"

"Is Celestial Water Commandery doomed?"

....

The entire Celestial Water Commandery, no matter the corner, these ordinary people were in panic.

"Everyone return home, do not come out!"

Suddenly, a sharp voice resonated throughout the entire Celestial Water Commandery.

In mid-air, Yan Wen looked extremely serious, gazing at those four blood-red beams, even at his tier two peak, he felt a strong sense of threat.
