339: Chapter 339 The Spirit Binding Array

Black Rose smiled knowingly: "Don't worry, Chen Yi will definitely compensate you billions tonight! But before that, we must handle the matter at hand!"

The girls nodded one after another: "That's true!"

"I'll go alone from here!" Black Rose said, "You all stay here and rest!"

Having said that, she turned into a stream of light and sped towards the southeast.

Hua Yuetong looked at Black Rose's retreating figure and asked softly: "Lilian, do you think the plan will succeed?"

Lilian was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"The future may change, but the path Chen Yi chose has the highest success rate. We just need to trust him!"

Chu Feiyu looked at the darkness deep in the Ultimate Darkness Zone and muttered to herself: "I hope everything goes smoothly..."

Meanwhile, in the canyon to the southeast.

Gu Fan had returned to the location where the Spirit-Binding Formation was set up.

He stood on a huge rock at the entrance of the canyon, looking at the road he came from, with a confident smile on his face.

"Master, they are here," Juno Wen said in a low voice.

In the distance, several figures were approaching quickly.

Leading them was Chen Yi; his eyes were burning with rage, and his speed was at its limit.

Gu Fan grinned: "Very good. Everyone, get ready. As soon as they all enter the formation, activate the array immediately!"

"Yes!"

The six spirit beasts dispersed, each guarding a array eye node.

A few seconds later, Chen Yi rushed into the canyon first.

Immediately after, Lin Mengxue, Luo Shiyin, Su Taotao—the Spirit Beast Girls—arrived one after another!

As soon as everyone entered the canyon, they felt a strange binding force strike them, and their aura weakened by thirty percent!

"Chen Yi, you're finally here!" Gu Fan stood on the giant rock, looking down at everyone from above, "Welcome to your grave!"

Chen Yi looked up, his eyes boiling with killing intent: "Gu Fan, today is your death date!"

"Death date? Hahaha!" Gu Fan laughed loudly, "Chen Yi, oh Chen Yi, do you still not understand your situation?"

He raised his right hand and waved it down violently!

Spirit-Binding Formation, activate!

In an instant, the array eye nodes buried all over the canyon lit up simultaneously, emitting blinding white light.

These lights intertwined and connected, forming a huge, inverted bowl-shaped barrier that completely enveloped the entire canyon!

"Oh no, we've fallen into a trap!"

"Run!"

"Boom—"

Chen Yi and the others tried to attack the barrier, but all attacks were easily absorbed, not even creating a ripple.

"It's useless." Gu Fan stood outside the barrier and said triumphantly, "This is the Spirit-Binding Formation. Once activated, unless I actively deactivate it or die, you will never be able to break the barrier!"

"Moreover, all spatial movement abilities are prohibited inside the barrier. Chen Yi, the Crystal Palace in your hand is now just an ornament; you cannot hide inside, nor can you teleport away."

"I want to see how much ability you have to break through this inescapable trap!"

Chen Yi's face was livid: "Gu Fan, do you really want to kill us all?"

"Kill you all?" Gu Fan sneered, "Chen Yi, from the moment you gained the Queen's favor, you were destined to be my enemy!"

"The Queen is very interested in you, but I won't give her any chance—I want you dead, and your Crystal Palace and women will all be mine!"

"At that time, I will become the only hope for the Dragon Kingdom, and the Queen will cast all her gaze upon me!"

"And you, along with your beautiful Spirit Beast Girls, will all become stepping stones for me to reach the peak!"

Hearing this, Chen Yi snorted coldly: "Gu Fan, do you know? Your biggest weakness is being too self-righteous!"

Gu Fan frowned: "What do you mean?"

Chen Yi didn't answer, but slowly raised his right hand.

A seven-colored flame rose from his palm, condensing into a burning long sword.

"You think that with a Spirit-Binding Formation, you can trap me?"

"You think that by forcibly raising your level to the Eighth Rank, Fifth Stage with the Death Curse, you can contend with me?"

"You were driven out of the Crystal Palace by me last time. This time, I won't hold back!"

He took a step, instantly crossing dozens of meters, and slashed at Gu Fan with his sword!

Gu Fan sneered: "Overestimating yourself!"

He pushed the power of the Death Curse to the limit, and his aura surged again!

It climbed all the way from the Eighth Rank, Fifth Stage, directly breaking through to the Ninth Rank, Third Stage!

This was the limit enhancement of the Death Curse. The price was that his level might plummet by two or three ranks after the battle, but Gu Fan didn't care.

He wanted to let Chen Yi understand before he died that there was an insurmountable gap in strength between them!

"Break for me!"

Gu Fan concentrated all his enhanced power into his right hand, preparing to take this sword strike from Chen Yi head-on.

However, what happened next exceeded everyone's expectations.

The moment the Seven-Colored Flame Sword collided with Gu Fan's palm, the stalemate Gu Fan imagined did not occur.

On the contrary, the flame sword cut through Gu Fan's protective spiritual power without any resistance, like a hot knife through butter, and then severed his right arm!

"Wh—what?"

Gu Fan's pupils contracted sharply.

Excruciating pain came from his severed arm, and blood gushed out.

He watched in disbelief as his right arm flew into the air and then fell to the ground.

"Impossible! This is impossible!"

The power of this sword strike from Chen Yi definitely exceeded the Ninth Rank, High Stage! It might have even reached the level of the Tenth Rank!

But Chen Yi was clearly just a Seventh Rank small fry. Even with the blessing of many secret treasures, it was impossible to bridge such a huge gap in levels!

Unless—

A terrifying thought flashed through Gu Fan's mind.

Unless Chen Yi had been hiding his strength all along!

His true level had long reached the Ninth Rank or even higher!

"Master, be careful!!!"

Juno Wen and the other spirit beasts let out terrified screams.

After severing Gu Fan's arm, Chen Yi did not stop. He followed up with a roundhouse kick, kicking Gu Fan hard in the chest!

"Pfft—"

Gu Fan flew backward like a kite with a broken string, spraying blood from his mouth.

The force of this kick was so great that it broke several of his ribs, and his internal organs were also severely damaged.

His spirit beasts rushed forward to catch him, only to find that Gu Fan was already on the verge of death.

"Escape—run!"

Gu Fan said weakly.

Without him saying it, the spirit beasts had already realized the severity of the problem.

Chen Yi's strength far exceeded expectations. Although the Spirit-Binding Formation had trapped him, the prerequisite was that Gu Fan himself had to be alive to control the formation.

If Gu Fan died, the formation would naturally lift.

And now, Chen Yi clearly had the ability to kill Gu Fan!

"Withdraw from the barrier!"

Juno Wen made a prompt decision, holding Gu Fan and rushing toward the edge of the barrier.

Fortunately, the direction in which Chen Yi kicked Gu Fan just now happened to be the edge of the barrier.

The Spirit Beast Girls retreated, taking Gu Fan out of the barrier's range.

Almost at the same time, Chen Yi's subordinates, the spirit beasts, also caught up, and various attacks fell like a rainstorm.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The sound of explosions was continuous, but all attacks were blocked by the barrier and failed to harm Gu Fan at all.
