"Retreat?"

Zhou Xun chuckled lightly.

"This place doesn't belong to your Gao Family, what right do you have to meddle here!"

After saying this, he drove his magical artifact, striking fiercely at the light barrier in front of him.

The round wheel and armor-piercing cone were launched simultaneously, hitting the golden semi-transparent light barrier with a loud noise.

The light barrier shook violently from the strike, the spirit light greatly diminished!

But its surface shimmered, and after a moment, the previously dim light barrier returned to its original state.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun felt a bit troubled.

The cold-faced middle-aged man felt relieved at this and sneered:

"This array is a Tier One Top Grade; even a Foundation Establishment cultivator would find it challenging. My friend, you'd better retreat!"

"I've already informed my family, reinforcements will arrive soon, and then you won't be able to leave!"

Zhou Xun remained unmoved.

He had long considered the Luo Family Treasure Vault his own, how could he allow others to interfere, especially just a few Qi Cultivation stage youths.

If it were a Foundation Establishment cultivator here, he'd swallow this loss.

For now, it's out of the question.

He clapped his storage bag, and another round wheel spiritual artifact flew out.

Three high-grade spiritual artifacts hovered in the air, charging straight at the middle-aged man inside the light barrier.

The middle-aged man's face changed dramatically at this sight.

"You... how can you control so many magical artifacts!"

He was well aware of the power of Zhou Xun's two artifacts earlier; if they were slightly stronger, his array would definitely not hold.

So he took out a black shield, activating it in front of him.

At the same time, disregarding the loss of lifebound essence Qi, he increased his mana output, further solidifying the light barrier.

Zhou Xun ignored the man's astonishment, and with a thought,

the three high-grade spiritual artifacts acted simultaneously, carrying heavy mana fluctuations, heavily striking the array's light barrier.

With a thunderous boom, a massive roaring sound reverberated throughout the stone hall, shaking down broken stones.

And then,

*crack*...

The sound of the light barrier shattering echoed.

The defense array was instantly broken.

At the same time, the power of the three artifacts remained undiminished, charging straight at the cold-faced middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man's pitch-black large shield was a middle-grade defensive spiritual artifact.

However, as soon as it touched the armor-piercing cone, the spirit light dimmed immediately and then extinguished.

The man's face turned pale, eyes showing despair.

In front of him, there was only a layer of protective spirit light.

How could it withstand the assault of three high-grade spiritual artifacts?

The other Gao Family cultivators hurriedly controlled their magical artifacts in an attempt to assist, but as soon as they touched Zhou Xun's three artifacts, they let out wails and their spirit light extinguished.

Soon, the man's protective spirit light shattered, and with three artifacts converging on him, he was instantly torn into pieces, dying immediately.

The remaining Gao Family cultivators fled in all directions.

Zhou Xun chased them with his magical artifacts, quickly catching up to one and cutting them down.

A few breaths later, only four Gao Family cultivators remained, when unexpectedly:

"Thief, how dare you kill my Gao Family cultivators!"

A loud shout came from behind, accompanied by a fierce Foundation Establishment mana aura.

Shortly after, a middle-aged man with a scholarly appearance but twisted features appeared.

"Second Elder, save me!"

The remaining Gao Family cultivators recognized the newcomer and rushed toward him.

Zhou Xun did not stop them.

"How did these Gao Family cultivators get here so quickly!"

From the time the cold-faced middle-aged man set up the defense array to Zhou Xun breaking it and killing him, barely a cup of tea had passed.

Gaoyang Square was more than six thousand miles away; how could they have arrived so quickly?

What Zhou Xun didn't know was,

this Gao Family Second Elder was indeed their renowned Tier Two Middle-Grade Array Master.

Originally stationed in White Cloud Immortal City.

He had just returned to the family today and, hearing about the cultivator's abandoned mansion, was momentarily eager to see the scene, hence came here with his magical artifacts.

He had arrived just behind Zhou Xun and now happened to trap him inside.

Foundation Establishment cultivator!

Though only in the early stage and not proficient in magical combat as an Array Master.

He was still genuinely in the Foundation Establishment stage, a whole major realm above him.

Zhou Xun's combat power was indeed strong, but that was only to triumph in the Qi Refining stage.

Now, he indeed felt uncertain.

This was the most perilous moment since his transmigration.

Even during the chaos at Red Leaf Square, facing Wu Family Law Enforcement Hall Master Wu Zongxu, the pressure wasn't as much as today.

Zhou Xun immediately withdrew his attack artifacts, clapping his storage bag to take out a stack of golden shield talismans.

Infusing them with mana, the talismans activated instantly, each emitting golden flickers.

In an instant, seven or eight layers of light barriers enveloped him like a golden light sphere.

"Do you think this will work?" The middle-aged man sneered.

He raised his hand.

Dozens of fireballs formed in the air, aiming at Zhou Xun.

With a crackling sound,

Zhou Xun's light shield instantly dissipated two layers.

This was the Tier One High-Grade Fire Rain Technique.

A Foundation Establishment cultivator could cast it instantly, and its power was much stronger than that of ordinary Qi Refining cultivators.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun remained calm and unruffled, immediately activating two more golden shield talismans to replenish the dissipated light barriers.

"I don't believe it, let's see how many talismans you can deplete!" The middle-aged man scoffed, casting spells again.

Fire Rain Technique, Firebird Technique, Firearms Technique!

Aimed directly at Zhou Xun.

Relying on the golden shield talismans, Zhou Xun blocked them all.

Fortunately, before setting out, he refined over twenty golden shield talismans; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to handle today so easily.

But then again, if he hadn't spent those ten days making talismans, he might not have encountered this group of Gao Family cultivators.

Perhaps he would've already taken the treasure, flying off far away.

But future matters are difficult to predict, and his approach was already the most prudent.

At this moment, the middle-aged opponent took out an entirely flame-red sword-shaped spiritual artifact.

Casting a series of spells onto the fire sword.

The fire sword instantly expanded to several zhang in size, emitting an aura that made Zhou Xun's heart tremble.

"Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact!"

This was definitely a top-grade spiritual artifact only controlled by a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Zhou Xun's eyes narrowed, immediately activating two more golden shield talismans.

A total of nine layers of light barriers wrapped Zhou Xun like a golden sphere about a zhang in size.

At the same time, he subtly reached to his waist, clutching a pitch-black two-inch-long short nail in his palm,

it was the Breaking Strength Nail!

Zhou Xun's eyes turned sharp, then he dashed toward the exit.

The middle-aged man across revealed a slight sneer seeing this:

"Trying to escape? No chance. Today, I will certainly keep you here, extract your soul to vent my anger!"

Just as the words fell, he pointed at Zhou Xun.

The flaming sword transformed into a red shadow, moving swiftly.

In a blink, it reached behind Zhou Xun.

Chopping mercilessly at Zhou Xun's back.

*crack*...

The sound of light barriers shattering echoed, and the nine layers of light barriers around Zhou Xun were directly obliterated, although the power of this strike of the fire sword was also exhausted.

Leveraging the force of the fire sword, Zhou Xun pushed the wind-controlling boots under his feet to the limit.

His speed surged to double, directly rushing toward the middle-aged Foundation Establishment cultivator, the Gao Family Second Elder next to him.

It appeared as though Zhou Xun was knocked flying by that sword.

The stone hall was originally small, only a few dozen zhang in size.

Plus, Zhou Xun was flying toward the exit, which was in the direction of that Second Elder.

Leaving the distance between them to less than ten zhang.

With this further strike, Zhou Xun reached the middle-aged man's front in a blink.

The middle-aged man saw this, completely unafraid, slightly raising his hand.

An instant summons of a firearms blocked Zhou Xun's advancing path.

In his perspective, Zhou Xun was as good as dead.

What he failed to notice was Zhou Xun's icy gaze remained unchanged!

With the firearms approaching, Zhou Xun did not avoid, heading straight toward it.

In the eyes of others, it seemed like suicide.

Pop—

Firelight exploded,

Zhou Xun collided with the firearms.

The middle-aged man smiled slightly at this, just about to check on the injured Gao Family juniors when.

Zhou Xun, wearing a cold smile, subtly raised his right hand, a streak of black light shot directly at the nearby middle-aged man!
