"Sword Sect" Yi Qingyang!

Xiao Aotian's sudden appearance did indeed catch Yang Shan somewhat off guard.

Given Yang Shan's current status as Nine Star Dou Huang with his Spirit Realm Middle Stage Soul Strength, he should definitely be able to detect the fluctuations of Xiao Aotian activating the "Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler" in advance.

But this time, Xiao Aotian pulled off a surprise attack.

There must be some hidden methods involved!

Xiao Aotian timed his use of his Dou Technique very well this time.

However, the power of this move, "Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler," is clearly relatively weak.

Just like Yang Shan could freely adjust the number of magical beast phantoms after completing "The Lingering Spirit Hundred Howls".

Xiao Aotian had already mastered the "Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler" technique to perfection, so he could naturally adjust its power at will, thereby reducing the consumption of Dou Qi.

The speed of the Ruler Qi was far greater than Yang Shan's normal flight speed.

"Three Thousand Thunder Movement" can be performed by Yang Shan Shanhui and Xiao Aotian.

Although Xiao Aotian could never unleash the full power of "Three Thousand Thunder Movement," he was fully aware of the nature of this Dou Technique.

The Time Acceleration of "Three Thousand Thunder Movement" is 0.5 seconds, which seems extremely short. However, with the addition of the surprise attack, Yang Shan's reaction time should be between 0.7 and 0.8 seconds.

Xiao Aotian's "Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler" only needs 0.5 seconds to hit Yang Shan! Xiao Aotian was already confident. "You only have one way, which is to use the Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning and Sea Heart Flame in your hands to trigger Overload and form a mutual consumption of Dou Qi with the Ruler Qi. However, in this process, I am enough... huh? Damn!"

The ear-piercing crackling of electricity left Xiao Aotian only with time to utter a curse before Yang Shan cleaved him dozens of meters down before the force of the blow was barely dissipated.

Before Xiao Aotian could react further, the Sea Heart Flame and the Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning collided right in front of him.

A short while later, Xiao Aotian escaped the blast radius and shouted, "How is this possible? I clearly calculated everything! There's something wrong with your Three Thousand Thunder Movement!"

Yang Shan toyed with the Blood Roar Blade in his hand:

"Brother Xiao, you're something else! You sneaked into the front lines without a word. Luckily, I'm a cut above the rest, or I would have been tricked by you!"

While "Three Thousand Thunder Movement" does require 0.5 seconds to Time Acceleration, the "Strange Speed" of the Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning allows it to be activated "instantly"!

Yang Shan was not kind enough to explain the characteristics of his Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning to Xiao Aotian.

He looked around warily and laughed, "You're not the only one who came, are you? It's obviously a money-giving opportunity, you, Xiao Aotian, shouldn't be doing that."

Since it wasn't a life-or-death confrontation, Yang Shan talked a little more.

The main problem is that Yang Shan is not quite sure what to do right now.

Even if Xiao Aotian is arrogant, he wouldn't be so arrogant as to actually believe that he can fight Yang Shan one-on-one.

So what gave Xiao Aotian the confidence to come looking for him? Yang Shan, with his extensive combat experience, thought of the most likely key factor:

Formation!

I still remember the last time in the Jia Ma Empire, Yang Shan, under the identity of "Cheng E", harvested souls, but was intercepted by Xiao Aotian and Ye Suifeng.

What put Yang Shan in a predicament back then was the "Five Elements Trapping Dragon Formation" set up by Bai Xiaosheng, the core of the formation, from the Tracing Pavilion! After so long, the Heaven Flame Alliance is developing very well, with many experts. It is normal for a few capable players to have obtained the opportunity to use the formation.

Yang Shan did not act rashly, mainly because he had to guard against the formation.

The formation's effect was naturally excellent.

If the formation is primarily for killing and is of a high level, and is executed by a group of Dou Wang, it can even go toe-to-toe with Dou Zong.

However, the formation also has obvious drawbacks.

Besides eliminating the core of the formation, directly reducing the number of people forming the formation is also a very effective method.

Players from the Heaven Flame Alliance should already be there, or even hiding in the advance camp.

But there were too many players on the ground, most of whom were Dou Wang, so Yang Shan couldn't tell them apart.

Yang Shan smiled and said:

"Brother Xiao, where are the players from your Heaven Flame Alliance? Why aren't they showing up?"

Xiao Aotian: "They didn't come!"

Yang Shan suddenly realized:

"Oh, alright then. Anyway, it was already agreed beforehand that the Heaven Flame Alliance had to wear uniforms. Since none of them are here, I'll just bombard them indiscriminately."

As he spoke, Yang Shan threw another Overload onto the ground.

Xiao Aotian's eyes widened. "Holy crap! Mycelium Bro, you're ruthless!"

Yang Shan scoffed:

"Hmph! You still dare to use sneak attacks? And you have the nerve to say I'm too ruthless? Anyway, it's a matter of skill. Xiao Aotian, you've been waiting for this day for a long time, haven't you? Show me what you've got!"

Yang Shan was actually quite excited.

There's a saying that goes something like this:

Invincibility ultimately leads to loneliness!

Many top masters would run away as soon as they saw Yang Shan, and wouldn't even dare to fight him.

Xiao Aotian is probably the only player who constantly talks about "surpassing Yang Shan" and is actually taking action to achieve it.

Yang Shan once again activated the Sea Heart Flame and the Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning.

Judging from Xiao Aotian's appearance, the players from the Heaven Flame Alliance should be hiding in the camp.

The indiscriminate bombardment wiped out the members who had set up the formation, and Xiao Aotian's formation inevitably came to nothing.

Yang Shan has already played his card; now it's up to Xiao Aotian to see if he can handle it! Seeing this, Xiao Aotian shouted loudly:

"Dandruff Bro, what are you doing? Aren't you done yet? I can't take it anymore, I'm under too much pressure!"

Feeling the terrifying pressure that suddenly rose from the distance, Yang Shan's eyes flashed with horror! At this moment, Yi Qingyang came from the horizon.

Golden Dou Qi Light Wings unfurled, and Yi Qingyang floated over.

But what attracts even more attention than Yi Qingyang himself are the flying swords surrounding him! Yi Qingyang is famous for his "sword control".

But in the past, he could only control a maximum of eight flying swords at the same time.

At this moment, there are at least seven or eight hundred flying swords floating around Yi Qingyang! No player has ever seen Yi Qingyang with such a display, except for Yang Shan!

For a moment, Yang Shan was somewhat dazed.

At this moment, how similar Yi Qingyang is to that "Sword Master" from his previous life! The sword follows the heart, Myriad Swords Returning to the Sect.

It was precisely through this unparalleled sword control technique that Yi Qingyang established his formidable reputation in the Northwest Continent.

But Yi Qingyang's "Four Star Dou Huang" level cannot be faked.

It's clearly written on the Combat Power Rankings!

Perhaps it was Yang Shan's surprised expression that gave Yi Qingyang great satisfaction, and he couldn't help but boast to Yang Shan, "Brother Yang, aren't my nine hundred and ninety-nine flying swords pretty good?"

Yang Shan nodded and said sincerely:

"That's really impressive, very handsome. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were a sword immortal from Mount Shu! Tell me, how did you do that?"

Yi Qingyang exhaled a breath of stale air, and for a moment, he was filled with boundless pride. "I'll tell you if you win!"

Yi Qingyang's Battle Intent burned like a raging fire, Yang Shan was also aroused to compete.

Two of the "Three Sects" from his previous life had already joined Yi Qingyang, so he absolutely had to experience Yi Qingyang's "Thousand Swords Return to Origin" technique! The Blood Roar Blade was drawn, and the Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning seemed to sense the rising Battle Intent in Yang Shan's heart, instantly covering the entire blade. "Come, fight me!"

Yi Qingyang extended his right index and middle fingers, brought them together, and placed them in front of his nose. "Fingers!"

The nine hundred and ninety-nine flying swords around seemed to possess sentience, and at Yi Qingyang's command, they all pointed their sword tips at Yang Shan.

"Out!"

Yi Qingyang pointed forward, and immediately a hundred flying swords shot towards Yang Shan!

These flying swords were flying at a speed no slower than Yang Shan's in normal flight.

Yang Shan tried to maneuver and turn in the air repeatedly, but he couldn't shake her off.

Yang Shan was not in a hurry at all.

The Dou Qi is being consumed rapidly.

As soon as the Time Acceleration ended, Yang Shan immediately unleashed the "Three Thousand Thunder Movement"! Yang Shan transformed into a Crimson Thunder, instantly traversing a thousand feet.

By the time the pursuing flying swords reacted, Yang Shan was already directly above Yi Qingyang.

A hundred phantom monsters gathered like dark clouds, roaring in unison as if to make the heavens tremble.

Yi Qingyang remained completely composed, displaying the elegant demeanor of a master swordsman in every gesture.

"Line up! Turn around!"

As Yi Qingyang changed his hand seals, the 899 flying swords around him, Yi Qingyang their hilts facing inwards and their tips facing outwards, spun rapidly, forming an indestructible protective sword aura.

The sound waves struck, and the flying sword's rotation suddenly slowed down, but Yi Qingyang was inside it, was completely unharmed.

Yi Qingyang's hearty laughter echoed from within the sword energy:

"Brother Yang, I anticipated your move! You don't actually think you can defeat me with this trick, do you?"

Yang Shan chuckled and said loudly:

"Yi Qingyang, you can lie to me, but don't lie to yourself!"

Upon hearing this, Yi Qingyang's heart sank, and he thought to himself:

"Even this couldn't fool Brother Yang? Alas, the Blade Sovereign is indeed quite formidable!"

The full version of "Lingering Spirit Hundred Howls" can cause nearly 200,000 damage with just a casual roar! But the more crucial element is the soul impact that comes with this move.

Even if Yi Qingyang could use his flying sword to block the sonic impact, he couldn't possibly block all soul attacks.

Unless Yi Qingyang himself also possesses the Soul Strength of the Spirit Realm Middle Stage.

However, the flying sword formation, which was already somewhat out of order, was enough to show that Yi Qingyang had suffered a soul impact.

As a player, Yi Qingyang naturally wouldn't wail and cry like an NPC.

Yi Qingyang's wounded soul was fully manifested in his control of the sword formation.

The system directly delayed the transmission of Yi Qingyang's thoughts, which meant that even if Yi Qingyang was mentally sharp, the final effect of the sword formation would be significantly worse.

Yang Shan couldn't see Yi Qingyang within the sword formation, he naturally couldn't see Yi Qingyang's character panel.

Based on the unusual nature of this sword formation, Yang Shan was certain that Yi Qingyang was now in a state of "soul injury"!

Yang Shan was quite familiar with Yi Qingyang's sword formation, so he did not choose to force his way in.

Now that the sword formation has gone awry, Yang Shan only needs to play Kite Tactic with Yi Qingyang.

Thunder and fire reappeared on the left and right, causing an Overload explosion that engulfed Yi Qingyang's entire sword formation.

In games, everything has its limits.

Yi Qingyang's sword formation is the same.

This sword formation is most likely similar to the Five Elements Soundproof Array, with a similar "energy value" as a numerical representation. Once the energy value is exhausted, Yi Qingyang's sword formation will be broken.

Yang Shan's Overload deals 80,000 damage in one hit. How long can Yi Qingyang withstand it?

Let's just wait it out!

Yi Qingyang to maintain the sword formation, shouting frantically in the voice channel, "Brother Xiao! Brother Xiao! Hurry! Yang Shan is too strong, we can't hold on much longer!"
