You Only Need to Stand There and Do Nothing!

Meanwhile, on the battlefield...

"I don't know what you're up to," Su Clan’s Seven said in a deep voice, "But it doesn't matter. Whatever you want to do, I just need to cut you in half, and everything will be fine!"

"A-Qi, you're still as decisive as ever," Gongzi Hai said with a smile. "Please, go ahead and make your move! Don't hold back. With the Moon Saber Sect's Guardian Sect Formation backing you up, I can surpass my limits and fight you. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could have another sword duel?!"

"A sword fight?" Su Clan’s Seven said coldly, "Do you think this is still a fight? I have no interest in fighting anyone today."

His greatest love in life was fighting and challenges! That's why he was called a battle maniac by the people in the 'Nine Provinces No. 1' group. But today, all he wanted to do was kill someone.

Su Clan’s Seven added, "There is a major realm between the First-Grade and Second-Grade of cultivators. There is also a major realm between the Fourth-Grade and Fifth-Grade."

"Yes, I know," Gongzi Hai nodded.

"No, you don't understand." Su Clan’s Seven smiled, and then his whole body became crystal clear, with a Golden Core inside him shining as brightly as the rising sun.

Once Fifth-Grade Golden Core Golden Core formed, the 'true qi' within a cultivator's body will transform into spiritual power.

Spiritual power and true qi originate from the same source, but spiritual power has an overwhelming advantage over true qi. The difference between the two can be likened to that between a wooden sword and a sharp iron sword.

After advancing from the Golden Core stage to the Spirit Emperor, A-Qi had fewer and fewer opponents to challenge. Even Mad Saber Three Waves, another martial arts fanatic in the Nine Provinces Number One Group, was afraid of him. Therefore, he rarely used his full strength when fighting or challenging others!

A-Qi pointed at Gongzi Hai.

A drop of spiritual energy overflowed from the Golden Core and flowed into the index finger.

As this drop of spiritual energy left the body, it transformed into a golden bead and shot towards Gongzi Hai. The golden bead was so fast that other cultivators could only see a flash of golden light as it passed by!

Moreover, this tiny golden bead of spiritual energy contains a full eighty blades of light!

"Formation activated!" Gongzi Hai's expression was solemn as he softly commanded, "Change formation! Fifth formation!"

The disciples of the Moon Saber Sect below sprang into action, and under the guidance of several elders, they transformed into the 'Fifth Formation of the New Sect-Guarding Formation'.

Within the grand formation, every disciple of the Moon Saber Sect roared with high morale, channeling their true energy and Blood Qi into the Guardian Sect Formation, thus amplifying its power upon Gongzi Hai.

At the same time, the blood mist above Blue Origin Valley suddenly condensed, forming layers of defense in front of Gongzi Hai.

The blade's edge and the golden pearl arrived in an instant.

Sizzle!

The golden pearl of spiritual energy, emanating from eighty blades, collided with the blood mist. The blood mist's defenses were as fragile as tofu, heartbreakingly easy to penetrate.

In an instant, the blade and golden pearl had already struck in front of Gongzi Hai.

Gongzi Hai then hastily produced a small jade shield.

This small jade shield is not a magic weapon, but Talisman Artifact. Moreover, it is a precious Talisman Artifact capable of withstanding one attack from a 'Fifth-Grade Spirit Emperor'.

The blade's edge and golden pearl collided with the small jade shield.

In the blink of an eye, the jade shield began to shatter.

It is indeed Talisman Artifact that can withstand one attack from a 'Fifth-Grade Spirit Emperor', but that only applies to the most ordinary Fifth-Grade Spirit Emperor, not to Su Clan’s Seven.

Gongzi Hai opened his right sleeve. "Devil Lord Anzhi, it's your turn."

Just before the jade shield shattered, the Devil Lord Anzhi's fragmented soul, with its eerie laughter, flashed in front of the drop of spiritual energy, swallowing it whole.

Subsequently, Devil Lord Anzhi's divided soul rapidly ascended upwards.

It flew less than fifty meters before the drop of spiritual energy within its body exploded.

Boom~~

The blade's light exploded, shattering Devil Lord Anzhi's divided soul into pieces. The massive shockwave from the explosion also caused Gongzi Hai, who was flying on his sword below, to teeter on the brink of collapse.

Gongzi Hai summoned another small jade shield Talisman Treasure to block the exploding blade light.

Gongzi Hai struggled to steady himself, and sighed inwardly, "So... I already knew how terrifying the Golden Core Realm really is."

It was precisely because he knew how terrifying Fifth-Grade Spirit Emperor was that he was determined to become Fifth-Grade Spirit Emperor!

Su Clan’s Seven's attack was blocked.

However, the disciples of the Moon Saber Sect below deeply felt A-Qi's power; they were overwhelmed by the invisible pressure.

Faced with the terrifying Su Clan’s Seven, they could only desperately maintain the 'New Guardian Sect Formation,' as this was the only means they could currently rely on.

The disciples moved around continuously, circulating their inner energy and pouring their power into the Guardian Sect Formation!

At this moment, they had only one thought in their minds: to maintain the Guardian Sect Formation.

They withstood the attack from Su Clan’s Seven.

Then, defeat him!

Unbeknownst to them, the Moon Saber Sect disciples all had bloodshot eyes and were breathing rapidly.

"Elder Gongzi Hai!" In the end, the Moon Saber Sect disciples were like madmen, calling out Gongzi Hai's name.

"Done." From the crowd, a disciple whose face was shrouded in black mist quietly withdrew from the 'new sect formation' and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

It was Devil Lord Anzhi. His true form secretly mingled among the disciples of the Moon Saber Sect, and then secretly used Moon Saber Sect arts to bewitch their minds, causing them to fall into a state of madness more quickly.

************

Gongzi Hai finally managed to steady himself and looked at Su Clan’s Seven.

Although slightly disheveled, she still maintained her elegant demeanor.

"And then what? You think you can rely on these Talisman Treasure and magical artifacts to fight to the death?" Su Clan’s Seven said calmly, "Bring me the knife!"

The magic knife fell into his hands.

Without flying on a sword, Su Clan’s Seven still stood steadily in the void, as if she were standing on solid ground.

In an instant, the Saber Force was like the might of heaven. Su Clan’s Seven, who held the sword, was like a completely different person compared to when he didn't hold it!

Gongzi Hai's body trembled slightly from the Saber Force, but he quickly regained his composure. "I never thought that way. Even if I used all my Talisman Treasure and magical artifacts, I still couldn't withstand your third strike."

Su Clan’s Seven frowned slightly.

"Actually, my plan was completed the moment you, 'Su Clan’s Seven,' appeared in this Blue Origin Valley," Gongzi Hai said with open arms and a smile.

Everything was under his control. Now was the time to close the net!

"Did you see that, A-Qi? The mesmerizing shouts of the Moon Saber Sect disciples below. They're frantically channeling all their power into their Guardian Sect Formation, with only one belief in their minds—to defeat Su Clan’s Seven!"

"This is the role you, A-Qi, played in my plan—you don't even need to lift a finger; just standing there, you can exert immense pressure on the Moon Saber Sect disciples. In order to counter you, the Moon Saber Sect disciples desperately squeeze out their potential, pouring all their true energy and Blood Qi power into the operation of the 'Guardian Sect Formation.'"

"But that's not enough. The Guardian Sect Formation I've improved is extremely greedy. It absorbs not only the true energy of the Moon Saber Sect disciples, but also their life force and their excited souls."

"Because they hold unwavering beliefs in their hearts, they are like the most fanatical religious believers of Ancient Era. Compared to sacrifices slaughtered out of despair, these fanatical Moon Blade disciples can contribute far more life force and soul power. How wonderful! They are the most perfect sacrifices!"

"Let's party, let's sing, let's dance!"

"My... sacrifices!"

Below, the disciples of the Moon Saber Sect were like madmen, jumping and shouting the name of 'Elder Gongzi Hai', their eyes bloodshot and completely out of their minds.

Finally, one by one, the disciples of the Moon Saber Sect fell to the ground!

"Activate the formation! Blood God Evil Saber Formation!"

Gongzi Hai raised his hands high, and blood mist rose from within Blue Origin Valley.

Devil Lord Anzhi's true form cackled and quietly appeared behind Gongzi Hai. His body was engulfed in raging demonic flames. The reason why the Moon Saber Sect disciples below had gone into a frenzy so quickly was all thanks to him.

Devil Lord Anzhi and Gongzi Hai stood back to back, their hands raised high, jointly presiding over the 'Blood God Evil Saber Formation'!

"A remnant of the Blood Saber Sect?" Su Clan’s Seven struck a strange sword-drawing pose.

"Heavenly Blade Buries the Stars and Sea!"

After many years, Su Clan’s Seven unleashes the Heavenly Saber Buries the Star Sea once more. What kind of power will it possess?

************

On the other side, the Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman was taking the opportunity to explain the strangeness of the 'Guardian Sect Formation' in front of them to Song Shuhang.

"The combination of the Blue Origin Valley and the Moon Saber Sect's formation is actually the 'Blood God Evil Saber Formation' used by the Blood Saber Sect, which was wiped out back then, to sacrifice living beings and condense their Natal Blood God Saber Blade. However, the Moon Saber Sect's formation has obviously been improved on the original basis."

"However, no matter how the formation is modified, its fundamental principle remains the same, and it cannot be hidden from our eyes!"

The Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman asked smugly, "Has anything changed in Blue Origin Valley yet?"

"A huge cloud of blood mist rose up, enveloping the entire Blue Origin Valley. Senior A-Qi seems to be about to make a move!" Song Shuhang said quickly.

"Now's the time! Go, young friend Shuhang, rush to the position we marked! Once this formation ends, you'll make a fortune!" Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman laughed heartily.

Song Shuhang had already tensed his muscles, charging towards the base of the nameless tree like a cheetah, while asking, "Senior A-Qi, won't you break this formation?"

"It can't be destroyed. Even if the person in charge of the formation is killed, the formation will still automatically change its operation! And if you want to kill all the disciples of the Moon Saber Sect, you'll only accelerate the formation's operation. Because once this formation starts, all the disciples of the Moon Saber Sect have become living sacrifices, raw materials for the Natal Blood God Saber! It doesn't matter whether they die sooner or later; at most, it will slightly affect the harvest after the formation ends."

The Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman said, "Unless... he can flatten the entire Blue Origin Valley with a single strike! A-Qi could do that, but it would require a long time to gather his strength. There isn't enough time for A-Qi to gather his strength now. Let's just hope he can cut down the person in charge of the formation."

At this moment, Song Shuhang had already rushed to his destination. "I'm here! What should I do next?"

"You don't need to do anything. Just stand still and quietly wait for the pie to fall from the sky onto your head," the Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman said smugly. "The only thing you need to be careful about is not getting killed halfway through. I'm hanging up now. If you're still alive in a bit, call me and tell me your haul."

Song Shuhang hung up the phone and carefully crouched down at the spot designated by the Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman, hoping to minimize his visibility and make himself less conspicuous.
