As soon as Flying Sword Daoist finished speaking, the two figures swiftly dashed to one side.
The two had known each other for years, so there was no need to test one another. The moment they came to a stop, the white-robed old man and Flying Sword Daoist each summoned their respective life-bound treasures and began battling.
At Flying Sword Daoist's command, seven flying swords shot out of his mouth. Once they spread out in the air, they transformed into seven enormous flying swords. After hovering briefly before him, the seven swords flashed rapidly, faintly forming the shape of the Big Dipper.
It turned out that this Daoist's life-bound treasure could actually form a sword formation.
Treasures—especially life-bound treasures—were exceedingly difficult to refine in sets, whether during their initial forging or their refinement within the body. A cultivator had to pour in several times more blood, sweat, and effort than others to accomplish it.
Of course, once a set of treasures was successfully refined, its might was also far greater than that of a single treasure. At this moment, with the seven flying swords forming a sword formation, their power had more than doubled.
Just as Flying Sword Daoist summoned his life-bound treasures and formed them into a sword formation, the white-robed old man did not hesitate in the slightest. With a single opening of his mouth, an object wrapped in golden and azure light flew out.
With a flash, it transformed into an enormous chessboard. Runes flickered incessantly across its surface, while thirty-six chess pieces shone with golden and azure light and flew out from the board. As they darted rapidly through the air, they actually settled into position as well.
From the positions occupied by the chess pieces, it seemed that another formation was concealed within them.
