"Fellow disciples, form a sword formation to defend against the enemy!"
Knowing the bandits were fierce, even with his boastful nature, he dared not continue to be arrogant. After shouting loudly in front, he organized the Mount Emei disciples behind him to set up a sword formation, hoping to rely on sheer numbers to defeat the enemy.
Senior Brother Li remained calm at the critical moment, multitasking to call upon his junior brothers. Then, as soon as the first wave of sword light shattered, he immediately channeled his Magic Power, and before Xu Long could launch another attack, he sent the second wave of sword light, carrying the energy of the previous wave, rushing towards Xu Long.
He unleashed his power in one breath, and before he could rest, he turned around and saw that his junior brothers had already taken their positions. He was overjoyed and transmitted his thoughts through the crowd. Then, each of them activated their magic Magic Power and moved their minds.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sound of sharp weapons being drawn echoed across the Southern Foothills Mountain Range. After Senior Brother Li abandoned his intention to fight alone, he called his fellow disciples to take their positions, and each of them channeled their Magic Power and drew their swords to meet the enemy!
The multicolored sword light swept back and forth across the sky like laser beams, and the Magic Power surging in the center of the sword formation was even more terrifying. The sword formation, with its sharp edge exposed, seemed to want to shatter everything in the world that did not submit to the sect.
This sword formation is a unique group attack technique of the Mount Emei disciples. It gathers the strength of many people to deal with the enemy and is extremely effective. Mount Emei spent a lot of money to have the Jade Pivot Sect cultivators design it specially.
Through daily practice and battles, cultivators of lower cultivation levels had long been accustomed to forming formations to fight their enemies.
Senior Brother Li truly lived up to his reputation as a great cultivator who could bend and stretch. He immediately set aside his pride and organized the great formation. Then, with a thought, the second wave of sword light was already within reach of the thief, followed by the attacking sword formation.
This combination of punches truly shows that those who have reached the pinnacle of cultivation are quite skilled!
Feeling the surging energy around him, Xu Long began to appreciate his Senior Brother Li below.
At first, he just thought this person was someone who relied on the sect's system to obtain a shortcut to cultivation, but now it seems that this person actually has some ulterior motives. However, for Xu Long, whether he has ulterior motives or not is not important.
One's own strength is what ultimately determines the outcome of a battle!
With a thought, the World-Breaking Blade appeared beside him. Xu Long no longer cared about the two protectors behind him. If they dared to cause trouble, he would have his clone send them to meet Chi You underground ahead of time!
His Magic Power surged instantly, but the sword light heading towards the waves in front of him softened its edge considerably. Under Xu Long's endless output of Magic Power, the World-Breaking Blade swept across the sky.
It moved at a slightly slower speed, automatically twirling and circling in front of him, while the massive Power of Oblivion within the sword had solidified as if it were a tangible substance.
Boom!
The two energies were locked in a fierce battle, and a great fight was about to break out. After a sound that was no louder than before, Senior Brother Li's flushed face turned pale again.
The sword light wave in the air, imbued with its own Power of Laws, had shattered. The surging energy condensed from Magic Power within it had been completely consumed by a mysterious Magic Power, leaving only a last stream of pure Power of Laws to resist it.
The grand formation atop the mountain range was fully activated, and the rolling shockwaves automatically retreated in the face of the formation's light, creating a scene of darkness and gloom in the air.
"Imperial Edict!"
Senior Brother Li gritted his teeth and let out a low growl, forcibly suppressing the surge of blood gushing from his throat. After taking another deep breath, he thought to himself, "Damn scoundrel! He actually cultivated such domineering Magic Power!"
Those behind them naturally saw Senior Brother Li's current dejected state, realizing that the enemy sent by the Blood Alliance was indeed powerful, as even Senior Brother Li, who usually seemed invincible, had been defeated. Everyone was worried about the future of the Southern Foothills Mountain Range.
Before he could comfort everyone, Senior Brother Li exhaled a breath of blood that smelled metallic.
He turned back into the crowd, looking utterly exhausted, and stood in the formation's positions, no longer the revered Senior Brother Li stood alone with his hands behind his back.
He addressed the crowd, saying, "The bandits are now rampant and powerful. We need all of you brothers to join forces to defend against them and escape this calamity!"
After speaking, he once again concentrated his magical Magic Power and transmitted his divine sense to the crowd. The array flashed, and the sword array that had been formed in the air suddenly burst into a "clang" sound, with countless sword lights heading towards Xu Long after another.
In that instant, a metallic aura resonated throughout the heavens and earth, possessing a sweeping force beneath the sword formation formed by the disciples of Mount Emei!
Feeling the power of the sword formation opposite him, Xu Long's heroic spirit was instantly ignited.
It seems that this is the first time since arriving in the Legend of Mount Shu World that I have fully unleashed my full power in a battle. Before, whether it was with Youquan or Protector Luan, it was all just testing each other. Although I had used all my methods, I had never gone all out.
Of course, Xu Long only has 50% of his peak Magic Power now, but in this sword-attacking formation, he has decided to use all his strength to fight the enemy!
Buzz!
As if sensing the provocation of the countless sword energies in front of him, the World-Breaking Blade in front of him automatically unleashed a resounding sword cry before Xu Long could even think, a response to the provocation of the group attack sword formation.
Then, with a flick of the scabbard, it slowly traced a path in the air, the Power of Oblivion enveloping the sword as it moved straight forward. The sword light slowly swirled in the air, wave after wave of energy accumulating before it.
The swirling sword light surged with each rotation, accumulating greater energy with each surge, while the surging airflow in front of the energy was automatically propelled forward.
The enormous energy fluctuations resembled the powerful hand of a giant beast, violently pushing up countless streams of air. Under the rotation of the sword light, the energy-driven air currents accumulated like a tsunami.
Under Xu Long's control from behind, the rotating sword light pushed a devastating energy, like a tsunami sweeping in, wave after wave, towards the sword formation!
Everyone was astonished by this scene; this guy actually wanted to withstand the combined attack of the sword formation all by himself!
Beneath these countless sword energies lies boundless sharpness and energy. Ordinary Blood Alliance cultivators would invariably avoid their sharpness, waiting for the first wave of sword energy to pass before breaking through the sword formation below, thus achieving the goal of defeating them one by one, and the sword formation would naturally gradually collapse.
This guy is highly skilled and incredibly daring; does he really think he's Kami? He wants to use brute force to overcome brute force, to use even more powerful force to deal with the most powerful force!
Boom!
The slow-moving sword light and the endless sword energy collided instantly under human manipulation. A dull thud was heard at the center of the impact, as if it were covered by countless layers of energy that kept rushing in from behind.
The first sword energy to come into contact was instantly shattered by a powerful force, and then the continuous energy collided fiercely. Xu Long let out a low shout, and his magic Magic Power surged. This time, he used all his strength to forcefully suppress the group attacking sword formation below.
Seeing the initial sword energy dissipate, Senior Brother Li below felt a pang of anxiety, knowing that the situation was hopeless. However, he bore the heavy responsibility entrusted to him by the sect; how could he bow down to the traitors?
With continuous telepathic communication, the remaining sword energy once again formed a sword light, which moved at an extremely fast speed, transforming into a lightning-fast stream of light, attempting to bypass the World-Breaking Blade and directly target Xu Long behind him.
At this moment, Xu Long focused all his energy on dealing with the sword energy in front of him, seemingly leaving his back unguarded to the two guardians.
After exchanging a glance, both Qingluan Protector Luan saw a hint of killing intent in each other's eyes. At this moment, Mo Yu was engaged in a fierce battle with the righteous cultivators, and he was so focused on his own strength that he had no time to pay attention to what was happening behind him...
The two men, as if by unspoken agreement, had a sudden thought, and their years of tacit understanding proved exceptionally adept when it came to murder and robbery.
His inner Magic Power surged, and the aura unique to great cultivators spread in all directions. Two enormous energy fluctuations instantly condensed behind him. Qingluan and the other looked at Mo Yu's back:
This is not our fault!
Xu Long was now attacked from both sides; the two guardians had already completed their Magic Power and were about to stab him in the back!
Suddenly, a mysterious power spread out around the two people behind them, a power far exceeding their own strength.
Suddenly bound by this force, before they could even unleash their Magic Power, the two froze in mid-air. It was as if a jackal, lying in wait in the grass to ambush its prey, had only to discover that a colossal creature was already watching it from behind!
This precarious situation left them in a dilemma, feeling intensely threatened by the mysterious power. They saw shock and confusion in each other's eyes, but their years of cultivation and intuition told them not to act rashly!
Looking at Mo Yu's back in front of them, they felt that he was unfathomable. This was the first time they had felt the same way about anyone other than the leader of the Youquan Alliance.
Looking at Mo Yu ahead, seemingly oblivious to the abnormal energy fluctuations behind them, the two protectors exchanged bewildered glances, their eyes filled with horror.
Mo Yu couldn't possibly have been unaware of the energy fluctuations of the two great cultivators. If Mo Yu had turned around, he would have seen through the betrayal and would have inevitably taken action. But what was shocking was that Mo Yu clearly knew this, yet he didn't turn around, seemingly not taking the two of them seriously at all!
The two couldn't help but recall the oppressive aura they had just experienced, and the Magic Power they had gathered to unleash a powerful attack quickly dissipated.
Protector Luan wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead. He had fought with Mo Yu before and knew how powerful the man was. The pressure he felt just now was also the most obvious. Fortunately, he hadn't acted rashly. Although the Alliance Leader said to look for an opportunity, we can't risk our lives to try and seize an opportunity!
Xu Long watched as the sword energy bypassed the World-Breaking Blade and attacked him. In this critical situation, he seemed to be thinking of something, and without even turning his head, a hint of disdain appeared on his lips.
A powerful person is naturally not afraid of anyone playing tricks on them from behind. Under absolute strength, any sneak attack is tantamount to suicide!
Having reached this point, he withdrew his power and went all out to fight the disciples of Mount Emei. The swirling sword light stopped attacking and instead turned around, transforming into a bolt of lightning that trailed behind the sword energy.
Seeing this Li Xiuran below couldn't help but let a glimmer of hope flash in his tired eyes. "You arrogant scoundrel! You didn't even withdraw your sword light to defend, but instead followed behind the group attacking sword energy. If I don't kill you this time, I'm not a Mount Shu sword cultivator!"
Li Xiuran watched as the sword energy hurtled toward Xu Long at an extraordinary speed. He could almost see Xu Long in mid-air being shattered by the sharp sword energy, his soul torn apart, until he died in an instant!
How could Xu Long on the other side not know what the newcomer was thinking, trying to bypass my World-Breaking Blade? Then I'll show you what a true powerhouse is!
Driven by his full Magic Power, the sword light swirled and aimed directly at the back of the attacking sword energy. Seizing an opening, the sword light instantly surged and transformed into a dense net of light as it rotated clockwise in the air, once again sweeping towards the attacking sword energy.
A series of clanging sounds, like metal clashing, echoed through the sky more than ten meters in front of Xu Long. Countless sword energies were instantly drawn in by a surge of energy, just as a high-speed train was forced to change course. The fierce sword energy suddenly stopped.
Uncontrollable energy surged through the air, while the sword net behind them swirled rapidly towards them. Upon contact with the center of the sword energy, the clockwise rotating sword net suddenly burst forth with light, as if a giant hand had grabbed the sword net and twisted it violently in the opposite direction!
Due to the intense energy, a sonic boom resounded through the air, and the sword net, which instantly began to rotate counterclockwise, sucked in all the attacking sword energy in a flash.
Then, the World-Breaking Blade withdrew from the battle in an instant, and with a devastating force, it slashed fiercely toward the center. This lightning-fast strike exploded in the air in a flash of light.
Xu Long had already retreated hundreds of meters. Even outside the clouds, he could feel the intense energy fluctuations. The group attacking sword energy was fierce and almost unstoppable, but if it was suppressed by another energy, it would definitely collapse in an instant at the point of convergence.
At that moment, the joy in Li Xiuran's eyes froze instantly. Before he could react, the sword energy had already collapsed!
The two guardians behind him also suddenly narrowed their eyes. This Mo Yu was indeed highly skilled and daring!
He shattered the combined sword energy attack with sheer brute force! The two exchanged shocked glances. Luckily, they hadn't acted rashly, otherwise, this sword net would have been their undoing...
Rolling energy fluctuations rippled continuously in the air, and the flying swords at the center of the energy field were reduced to dust under the violent impact.
This was undoubtedly the most powerful Blood Alliance cultivator the Mount Emei disciples had ever encountered in their lives, and amidst their despairing gazes, Xu Long would once again show them what a true evil sect was!
After the attack, the surging energy fluctuations had no effect on the World-Breaking Blade, which was already a celestial artifact. Carrying the residual power of the great victory, it exploded in the air with a resounding "hum" that echoed through the sky.
The sword light streaked across like a meteor, flashed for a moment, and then slashed fiercely at the remaining sword energy above the great formation of the Southern Foothills Mountain Range.
Sensing a strong threat, the mountain-protecting formation automatically emitted a powerful light, while a bolt of lightning suddenly erupted from the surrounding sword energy outside the formation. With a "boom," the World-Breaking Blade swept away all threats like dry leaves and withered branches.
A tremendous energy surge rippled across the entire Southern Foothills Mountain Range. The sword formation disciples at the foot of the mountain, having lost their means of defense, were filled with grief as they looked at the enemy outside the formation whom they could not defeat.
It is believed that there are true sword immortals on Mount Emei. This protective formation is usually used to defend against enemies from within, but in order to uphold the courage to move forward without hesitation, the disciples of Mount Emei usually defend against enemies from outside the formation.
This arrangement isn't necessarily bad; it's a way to hone his disciples, allowing them to go further on the path of the Great Dao and the sword. If they lose their means of defense, they can still use the mountain-protecting formation.
But the grand formation is a bit redundant for Xu Long right now. Today, I'll show you how my evil sect breaks the formation!
Power of Oblivion suddenly burst forth from the sword, carrying the residual force of the Destruction Sword Array towards the mountain-protecting array.
How magnificent was that indomitable spirit!
How immense was that power that had been accumulating for so long!
How domineering was that long-accumulated pressure!
The moment the sword light touched the outer edge of the great formation, endless Power of Oblivion was instantly released. The sword light entered the formation like a fish entering the sea, slowly tracing a drifting trajectory. A wisp of wave that rose to both sides silently accepted the sword light.
Below, as the sword light entered the formation, the earth's crust of the long-silent Southern Foothills Mountain Range trembled slightly.
An energy not belonging to this world tore a hole in the great formation without making a sound. Before the dumbfounded Mount Emei disciples below, the World-Breaking Blade sliced through the interior of the great formation and headed straight for the people in the sword formation.
Before anyone could react, the surging sword light, like a raging fire serpent, spewed out a sharp edge that could devour lives at any moment, and swept fiercely across the outer edge of the crowd!
The disciples on the outer edge of the sword formation couldn't understand how the mountain-protecting formation could be broken in an instant, and their eyes, which had been exposed to the sharp edge and turned into dust, were still full of doubt.
The joy in Li Xiuran's eyes had vanished without a trace. He now knew he was doomed, and the small talisman in his hand had already been crushed.
He had spent countless days and nights practicing flying swordsmanship and cultivating true techniques. Under the guidance of his ancestors and the sect, he was destined to become a core figure in the future sect.
Remembering the heavy responsibility entrusted to him by his ancestors and the sect, he couldn't help but look at the underground of the Southern Foothills Mountain Range behind him.
