The figures were not fooled at all. There was a ferocious blood dragon lurking behind them. After the sword formation had knocked the broadsword away and it fell into the deep pit, the figures seized the opportunity and attacked in an instant.
Four broadswords, carrying boundless power, descended from the sky. Several figures, worried that the young man might escape, deliberately dispersed in four directions, leaving the young man in the center with no way to avoid being slaughtered. However, their plan clearly failed.
The sword formation's previous failure did not mean its power was nonexistent. Under the surging energy, the sword formation once again proved its strength. The youth's Blood Domain provided it with Wuxian Magic Power, and it supported the heavens and earth above the youth's head!
The sword formation that burst forth from the sky never stopped. The nine small swords that spun out instantly combined into a surrounding sword formation. Facing the four broadswords that attacked, it fearlessly emitted a "hum," and the angry sword cry resounded through the sky, representing the youth's indomitable will!
Looking up at the four figures in the sky, the young man's eyes were piercing. Now that they had reached a moment of life and death, the figures no longer cared about the dignity of "bullying the few with the many".
The broadsword, once retrieved, was gripped tightly in his hand. His seemingly thick wrist spun nimbly in the air, creating a gust of wind that appeared to sweep across the space. The broadsword, the first to strike, did not wait for the other figures.
Perhaps they had already reached a tacit understanding in their hearts, and their movements were perfectly coordinated. With a loud "clang," the remaining sound waves in the air were completely annihilated by the new energy.
The incoming broadsword and the sword formation clashed in an instant, sparks flying between the sword lights. The flowing Magic Power came into contact even before the sword lights collided, and their incompatible nature caused a violent reaction between their respective Magic Power.
The sword formation, imbued with powerful Magic Power, disregarded the energy erosion after the impact, swirling above the massive broadsword with an unstoppable momentum. The figure, having failed to achieve his goal, was about to retract the broadsword.
With a flick of the wrist, the massive broadsword was pulled up, revealing a glint of azure light. The rotating sword formation launched a sudden attack after the broadsword was pulled up, and the surrounding sword formation swept up its figures in this opening, aiming straight for the head of the figure above.
The sword formation's Magic Power surged, and the force generated by its rotation shattered all the chaotic energy that had just been generated, as if it were forcibly parting the clouds and plucking the sun and moon from behind the clouds.
A flicker of fear flashed in the enormous eyes of the figure. The sudden burst of sword energy was like a steel needle, about to pierce its eyes. The broadsword in its hand couldn't turn back in time, and with no way to dodge, it suddenly twisted the direction of the turning broadsword, and after a flash of sword energy, it threw it in the direction of the youth.
The figure's goal was simple: to achieve a mutually destructive outcome!
As the young man with the broadsword was thrown at him, he waved his hand, and a flash of blood-red light appeared in the sky. The long body of the blood dragon swept over like a bolt of lightning, its outstretched body continuously lengthening, like a nimble Red Armillary Sash, instantly trapping the broadsword within it.
A clang of metal rang out in their ears, and the figure in the surging energy was forced to take several steps back. Before it stood a broadsword, and in front of the broadsword was a sword formation that blocked their way.
Just now, when the sword formation suddenly surged forth, it was blocked by another figure. The energy accumulated by the sword formation burst forth on the broadsword that was blocking it, and the energy it generated caused the arm of the person holding the sword to tremble slightly.
A streak of blood-red light stretched across the youth's path, within which a broadsword was bound. The attacking broadsword was instantly captured by the blood dragon, whose coiled body suddenly dispersed, and the broadsword bound in the center was violently flung away.
With a clang, a bronze broadsword reached out from the air and caught the broadsword that had been knocked back. The two bronze swords seemed to be connected, pulling the swirling broadsword behind them, where it was steadily caught by a large hand.
At this moment, the sword formation within the four broadswords shimmered with light. Before the figures could actively shoo it away, it transformed into a streak of light and flew into the sky. The four figures each flipped their wrists, unleashing the immense sword energy in their palms as they swept towards the youth once more.
The young man's gaze sharpened, and the blood dragon coiled in the air roared, its ferocious gaze transforming into a streak of blood-red light as it hurtled towards the figure. This time, the figure seemed unconcerned about the blood dragon's attack.
Although the sword formation in the sky was still watching menacingly, their eyes were all locked on the blood-red light behind the young man. Perhaps, like Youquan, they already knew the source of the young man's strength in the previous battle!
The streak of blood-red light suddenly magnified in the air, stretching out like a crimson lightning bolt, appearing in the sky for a fleeting moment before descending upon the world to punish humanity.
The young man's goal remained the same: to use the blood dragon to bind the figure and then launch a surprise attack with the sword formation. He firmly believed that with one less figure, the success of the sword formation attack would be greatly increased.
The Blood Domain shone brightly, and the blood light in the air became even more dazzling. Under the immense power, the blood dragon descended once more, and in the blink of an eye, it was above the figure's head. With a "whoosh," a sword shadow suddenly flew through the air.
The descending blood dragon abruptly reversed its light, and its long, flowing form instantly condensed into a serpentine body. It dodged the incoming sword shadow with an extremely contorted posture, and then its serpentine body suddenly swung its tail.
With a loud "boom," a metallic clang rang out in the air. A figure flipped his wrist and retrieved his broadsword, while the blood dragon in the air followed the sword's shadow and rushed towards it!
This time, the four figures clearly learned from their previous experience and did not all attack the youth. Just as the blood dragon was about to descend, they separated one broadsword to deal with the blood dragon, while the remaining three broadswords continued towards the youth.
They firmly believed that with the boundless power of the broadsword, victory would always belong to them!
The young man had been on guard against his opponent from the start. After the sword shadows unexpectedly darted out, the Blood Dragon abandoned its goal of trapping the figures and instead coiled up to attack one of them.
The young man believed that the sword formation was enough to withstand the three broadswords, and that the blood dragon would delay or even destroy another figure no matter what. The figure did not pay close attention when it withdrew its broadsword, and only a moment later did a wisp of blood light appear in its eyes.
It immediately swung the broadsword in its hand again, but the blood flashed and it was already in front of it. There was no time to defend, so it could only protect its chest with its other arm and use its other hand to pull the broadsword that had missed its target back behind it.
With a deafening roar, amidst a burst of bloody light, a figure on the ground was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, the broadsword standing behind him plunging halfway into the ground with a loud thud.
The figure flying backward and about to crash to the ground caught the broadsword in its hand. As its body receded further and further away, the force of its fall was cleverly transferred to the broadsword, preventing it from sinking deep into the ground like the previous figure.
On the solid ground, a grotesque trench had been carved out by the massive bronze broadsword. The abruptly appearing trench stretched a long way across the ground, preventing the figure from immediately closing his eyes after being struck by the blood dragon.
Pulling its legs out of the ground, it stepped back onto the ground and gripped the hilt of the broadsword with both hands. With a dull "clang," the broadsword, which had been completely sunk into the ground, was suddenly pulled out, its once smooth blade now covered in damp mud.
It was likely that the Blood Dragon's tail strike shattered the immense Magic Power covering the broadsword, rendering it as ordinary as a mortal object in an instant.
Before the mud could be wiped off, the figure's blood and Magic Power emanated from his body, a surge of Magic Power erupted from the sword, and darkness suddenly fell overhead as the blood dragon attacked.
With a clang, the figure that had just stepped out of the ground was forced back into the ground by the Blood Dragon. Amidst the rolling shockwave, the Blood Dragon suddenly stood up, now resembling a solid small mountain.
Ignoring the broadsword's attack, it twisted its body and swooped straight down towards the figure's head. In its ferocious eyes, it had already locked onto the figure's head, and the broadsword blocking its path could not stop the blood dragon's attack.
With a deafening roar, the earth trembled violently as the broadsword wielded by the figure collided with the tail of the blood dragon, unleashing a surge of powerful energy amidst the sharp, cold light and crimson glow.
The energies that converged were bound to back up, raging in the air for a long time before finally dissipating, as both sides withdrew their Magic Power. After the sword shadow took away a patch of blood, the figure suddenly fell to the ground.
Amidst the surging energy, countless clods of earth were stirred up once more, and the figure at this moment resembled the one from before, lying on the ground, with an uncontrollable flash of blood light emanating from the deep crater.
After the layers of energy subsided slightly, the billowing dust obscured all traces of the battle. The blood dragon's enormous head was raised high, and two lanterns within the dust still shone brightly.
The body that had been pulled up was no longer as slender and robust as before. It had also suffered heavy damage under the bronze broadsword, but fortunately, when gazing into the smoke and dust below, it seemed that no signs of life could be found.
The blood dragon, soaring into the sky, once again triumphed over its opponent. Amidst the youth's furrowed brows, it had hunted down two high-level beings with its own power, though its momentum had now waned.
The blood energy that had dissipated throughout its body could no longer be replenished by the energy emanating from the Blood Domain. At the youth's signal, the Blood Dragon transformed into a shimmering light in the air, swirling and turning, as it prepared to re-enter the Blood Domain to nourish itself.
The young man below was now facing three bronze broadswords alone. Without the Blood Dragon's support, the young man was destined to find it difficult to instantly defeat these three demonic figures.
At this moment, Blood Dragon was already severely injured, and his plan to launch a surprise attack had failed. As he faced the approaching broadsword alone, a surge of emotion welled up in the young man's heart.
The true path is never a smooth road; only through layers of obstacles can one forge one's own tenacity and indomitable spirit!
The figure's attacking steps abruptly halted, and an area in the sky suddenly darkened. A "whoosh" sounded in their ears, and the young man's long hair was whipped into a frenzy by the gust of wind that had struck first.
The bronze broadsword swept in after the gust of wind, and the figure's thick arms stood straight like pillars supporting the sky. The Blood Domain behind the youth immediately became more alert.
As the broadsword came hurtling towards him, a glint of light flashed in his narrowed eyes. Before the broadsword could fall, two gusts of wind intertwined in the air, and the sword formation above the sky swirled around, forming a surrounding sword formation as the sword fell.
The young man did not want to simply defend; with three figures still remaining, he wanted to finish the job in one fell swoop!
The surrounding sword formation swept across the sky with a terrifying howl. After a loud clang, the massive bronze broadsword trembled violently above the youth's head, and then streaks of sword light shone brilliantly in mid-air.
The sword formation arrived from the sky with thunder and rain, and only when it roared away did the trajectory of the sword formation's tail sheaths become visible in the air.
Despite being thwarted in his attack, the figure remained calm, deftly flipping his wrist in mid-air to sheathe his broadsword, leaving only a fleeting afterimage above the youth's head.
Chaotic energy surged above the Blood Domain, and layers of Magic Power crashed against the sword formation below like waves surging from the sea. Amidst the overlapping Magic Power, the sword formation remained as steady as Sea-Calming Divine Needle, unmoved by the rampaging sword shadows.
The young man below was deathly pale. He looked up at the Blood Domain above him, his magical Magic Power flowing and merging with the Blood Domain, with a faint Power of Laws emerging within it. No matter how fierce the attack was, in this area that belonged to him, he was the uncrowned king!
Before the young man could catch his breath, darkness fell again above him, and a faint sound of air being torn apart reached his ears. Upon closer inspection, he saw two sword shadows rapidly approaching him, their Magic Power no weaker than that of the broadsword from before.
After the broadsword was temporarily withdrawn, the other two figures launched fierce attacks one after another. The youth below dared not relax. The sword formation above the Blood Domain no longer lingered, but transformed into a sword light that went straight for the bronze broadsword.
The surrounding sword formation flipped above the youth's head in an instant, and a heavy aura emanated from the center of the formation. With the youth's will, the swords changed direction, as if they had chosen a direction, and a huge sword light suddenly shone from the blades.
The flowing light that flipped and turned formed a sun, and a streak of blood-red light at the center of the sun appeared exceptionally alluring. The aura emanating from the sword formation at this moment was enough to shake the heavens and the earth.
Guided by the central crimson light, the sword formation locked onto its target, leaving a long trail of nine streaks in the air before shooting straight toward the two figures.
The blood-red light within the sword formation belonged to the young man. At this moment, he dared not be careless and remain where he was. Under the watchful eyes of the three figures, he could only attach his will to the sword formation, envelop himself in Blood Domain, and follow the sword formation to launch an attack.
Gazing at the swift sword formation opposite them, the two figures neither dodged nor avoided, but instead exchanged glances and gripped their broadswords even tighter.
On his thick arms, muscles coiled like dragons, and his magical Magic Power flowed through his broadsword, the azure sword energy whistling through the air.
With a clang, the azure sword energy and the blood-red sword array collided instantly, and sparks of fire erupted in the air. The figure's outstretched, thick arm suddenly stopped in mid-air.
Then, the recoil force from the broadsword suddenly came, causing the hand gripping the hilt to tremble involuntarily, and two violent energies were released in the air.
