This is the group attack sword formation of Mount Emei. Xu Long had already experienced it once on Dan Chenzi, so he was naturally familiar with it. He didn't expect it to reappear under the combined attack of the two swords.
Dan Chenzi was merely a highly advanced cultivator, while Li Yingqi and Lian Xing, with their Twin Sword Fusion, possessed the strength of the Immortal Realm. The difference in their strength was simply incomparable, and the combined sword energy they unleashed in an instant was naturally unmatched in power.
Guided by the sect's most treasured artifact, the combined attack sword energy was naturally even more powerful and heavy than that of Dan Chenzi. It was likely that the two had planned this all along, and when they approached the array diagram, they didn't care whether the Blood Alliance traitor had any backup plans or not; this combined attack sword energy was enough to deal with him.
Led by the sword energy, the sharp sword energies below the sky coalesced together.
Normally, if so many sword energies were combined together, it would definitely cause energy disorder, resulting in a constant clanging of metal between the sword shadows. However, under the suppression of the combined twin swords, the other sword shadows seemed to have lost the ability to cause disorder.
With the infusion of their Magic Power, they clung to the side of the sword energy, like a swift torrent, rushing towards the array diagram with extremely fierce power.
The sword shadows on the horizon were so numerous that they even dimmed the sunlight for a moment. The sharp sword shadows seemed to pierce through the heavens, and the gusts of wind they swept through made the stars tremble.
This is the full-force attack of a powerful Immortal Realm, this is the Power of Laws Mahayana cultivator emerging from the laws, this is the fierce offensive of a sect's most treasured artifact!
The array continued to rotate slowly beneath the heavens, its energy gathering, seemingly unconcerned about the fierce sword shadows about to rain down.
The antiquity and vicissitudes it exuded seemed to transcend Space-Time and space, carrying an innate calmness as it composedly faced the roar of the Immortal Realm.
The figure beneath the array diagram still hadn't fully materialized. He seemed to be gathering something, completely oblivious to the layers of sword shadows about to rain down upon him. The energy accumulating within the array diagram grew increasingly dense, being compressed again and again as the diagram rotated.
As a meteor shower was about to descend from above, the resulting gust of wind swept across the array diagram. The figure beneath the diagram finally moved, raising his arm and pointing down at the Mount Emei Range. The swirling sword light moved with his arm.
A surge of Power of Oblivion had already attached itself to it, and after gathering its strength, it seemed ready to strike again. Li Yingqi and Lian Xing on the mountain peak looked at each other, both seeing doubt in each other's eyes.
With layers upon layers of sword shadows blocking the way, the sword light could not easily penetrate them. So why would the Blood Alliance traitors go against the tide?
"Imperial Edict!"
When Xu Long faced the torrent of sword shadows, he merely uttered a single word. The massive array behind him paused slightly as the word left his lips, and then released the compressed spiritual energy in an instant.
Rumble!
A violent explosion in the air answered the questions in Li Yingqi and Lian Xing's minds. Li Yingqi, who had just heard the explosion, was shocked. She seemed to have figured out Xu Long's solution.
Fortunately, as a high-level cultivator, she also had extremely rich combat experience, and she immediately tried to turn the tide of battle when the situation became unfavorable.
The fierce sword energy attack from the sky had been detonated by a dense spiritual energy, and there seemed to be an insurmountable chasm between the array diagram and the overlapping sword shadows.
Normally docile spiritual energy becomes extremely violent after being compressed by the array diagram, forming a " Spiritual Qi Bombardment " barrier on it as the array diagram releases its power.
Countless sword shadows, condensed into form, were as sturdy as steel as they attacked, pouring down upon the array diagram with an unyielding momentum, but all were broken by the barrier of the Spiritual Qi Bombardment.
The overlapping sword shadows, like waves collapsing, were firmly blocked in front of a giant ship. The figure behind it lowered its arms, and after a long-awaited sword light roared, it flashed out from behind the figure in an instant.
Li Yingqi and Lian Xing were suddenly shocked. Only then did Lian Xing realize how bizarre the Blood Alliance traitors' methods were, and that Li Yingqi offensive was almost entirely under their control.
They had thought that as great cultivators, they had a firm grasp on the battle situation, but at this moment, it seemed that the Blood Alliance traitors under the array were the ones who had reached the pinnacle of power.
In terms of controlling the battle, the opponent was almost guiding the two into their pre-arranged plan step by step. The rising sword light was not only about to pierce through the sword shadows, but also about to pierce through the two's beliefs.
The sword light, after Spiritual Qi Bombardment, almost effortlessly shattered the remaining sword shadows. The clanging of metal resounded across the sky, and bursts of sparks ignited beneath the heavens.
The flickering flames nearly ignited the sky, and the sword shadows that had condensed in the air continued to pour towards the array diagram. However, they exhausted their last bit of energy in the violent Spiritual Qi Bombardment, and then turned into ashes and disappeared into the world.
The meteor shower in the sky was instantly submerged, and a sword aura shot out from the horizon amidst rolling energy fluctuations. The previous Spiritual Qi Bombardment had failed to capture it at all. Thanks to Li Yingqi's preemptive action, the sharp sword aura tore open a gap and swirled back towards the Mount Emei Range.
Behind the swirling sword energy, there was a chilling sword light. The scene of chasing each other across the sky was displayed before people's eyes again, only the two sword lights chasing each other had switched positions.
The figure beneath the array used a single move to instantly turn the tide of battle and then firmly seized the initiative!
As soon as the explosion rang out, Li Yingqi was about to dash out with her sword energy swirling around. After breaking through the encirclement, she was now returning in a sorry state. She and Lian Xing finally understood what White Eyebrows meant by "beware of the Blood Alliance traitors' strange methods." However, as the sword light following closely behind emitted bursts of whistling sounds, the two of them suddenly felt the pressure increase.
But worrying was useless at this moment. They didn't have Xu Long's array diagram to use their methods, and a sword light was following closely behind them, its tail sheath drawing conspicuous trajectories in the sky.
The approaching sword light seemed completely unconcerned about whether there were traps below, chasing after the sword energy in front of it, its immense will searching for an opening to strike.
The two were in perfect harmony with the swirling sword energy. The approaching sword light seemed to be right above their heads, and the ever-increasing danger ravaged their minds. Li Yingqi seemed to have made up her mind, and her pretty face changed several times.
Then Lian Xing sensed her intentions, and a look of hesitation appeared in his eyes. However, the approaching sword light did not allow him to carefully deduce the outcome. A resolute look flashed in his eyes, and he had no choice but to attach his divine sense to the sword energy along with Li Yingqi.
The output of his magical Magic Power began to slow down, and the Power of Laws that guided the world also weakened slightly. The swirling sword energy was suddenly blocked in the air, and the two swords that had been joined together seemed to be about to separate.
The sword light attacking from behind did not hesitate at all. Under the lock of will, the sword light surged with a burst of Magic Power and poured into the sword. Facing the gap where the two swords were faintly separated, the light flashing in the air reflected a cold glint, and the sword light slashed down fiercely!
A resounding clang of metal clashing suddenly echoed in the air. A gap that had been faintly formed by sword energy was split into two by the sudden burst of sword light, and the Magic Power connecting the two sword lights had completely dissipated.
Below, Li Yingqi and Lian Xing staggered back dozens of steps, their magical Magic Power showing signs of disorder, and a sharp pain arose in their minds. Their souls were in turmoil, unable to find peace. This was a sign that the divine sense attached to the sword energy was being impacted.
The two did not expect that Xu Long's Power of Oblivion not only had a strong attack on sword energy, but also a strong erosion on divine consciousness. Power of Oblivion was Xu Long's unique Magic Power, and it was one of the most powerful energies in the world.
At this moment, the sword light was activated, and in an instant, it broke through the two combined sword energies. The sword light was about to turn back when the figure that had been standing under the sky for a long time finally stepped out. A huge array appeared from the sky, and the mysterious energy fluctuations on it made people feel uneasy.
Chaotic energy in the air dissipated, casting a shadow over the earth. A massive array covered the sky, and a figure stood above the Mount Emei Range before the array. Under the refraction of light, his face was finally made clear. Xu Long had ascended Mount Emei for the second time!
The two below exchanged bewildered glances, their brows furrowed. Li Yingqi was shocked; the figure in the air was none other than the Blood Alliance traitor who had broken into the mountain gate for the first time. He hadn't expected that the patriarch would still be unharmed despite being pursued by him.
The figure in the air exerted immense pressure on them. The combined sword energy, which had been broken apart by the previous sword strike, seemed to have been separated, but the two of them were not at all unharmed.
After the sword energy appeared to be forcibly separated, the two sword energies became much lighter. After deflecting the sudden attack of the sword light, the crisis for the two was temporarily resolved.
The two sword energies twisted in mid-air in an instant, and the tail sheaths drew a conspicuous, elegant trajectory in the air, rotating left and right, circling around the sword light.
Xu Long, hovering in the air, narrowed his eyes. The two separated sword energies seemed interesting. Unlike when they were combined, they were not violent. Instead, the two separated sword energies had become more maneuverable.
As the sword light swirled away, two sword energies below immediately followed, resulting in three sword lights appearing in the air. The swift sword lights advanced and retreated, while the whistling sword energies spread extremely far in the air.
Below, Li Yingqi and Lian Xing focused their divine senses on the two sword energies, closely connecting with the swirling sword light. The sword energy behind the sword light had already accumulated immense Magic Power.
For Xu Long in the air, this was a choice: if the sword light receded, the two sword energies would inevitably head towards the array diagram.
However, if the sword light were to withstand the attack head-on, Xu Long would inevitably be restrained, and when Zun Sheng broke out of the Zunsheng at Mount Wutai, the battle situation would be reversed in an instant.
Having anticipated this, Xu Long began to ponder the two separated sword energies. Little did he know that the Heaven Strike and Thunder Flame swords could be separated and combined.
With Li Yingqi and Lian Xing in perfect harmony, the tactics they created between the two swords became more flexible, but their power did not diminish even when the two swords separated.
The Heaven Strike and Thunder Flame, now manifesting as two sword energies, are actually in a combined state. However, faced with Xu Long's unpredictable methods, they had to change their tactics and use a more flexible approach to fight the enemy.
There were only two sword energies approaching from all sides, but their energy was in no way inferior to the original. As they twisted, they truly possessed the same power as the young man's Sea-Overturning Sword Formation.
The two changed tactics to regain control of the battle, focusing on trapping Xu Long and buying enough time for Zun Sheng to come to their Zunsheng. The violent Magic Power accumulated in their sword energy was already enough to make people wary.
But Xu Long would never give them a chance to change the course of the battle!
With a thought, Xu Long in the sky raised the swirling sword light high and soared into the sky. The two below followed closely behind, their heavy sword energy bursting into the clouds, leaving three dazzling trails in the sky.
Meanwhile, in Xu Long's hand, which was suspended in mid-air, a long black gun barrel had appeared.
Li Yingqi was below, felt a sudden jolt of fear, and an extremely ominous premonition rose from the bottom of his heart.
Lian Xing felt a chill run down his spine; a cold aura shot from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, causing even a powerful cultivator like him to shudder.
The two felt as if they were being watched by a Viper. After unleashing their sword energy, nothing could get close. Li Yingqi had previously witnessed the battle between the patriarch and Xu Long, and she knew that the Blood Alliance traitors' methods were unpredictable.
As the anomaly arose, layers of Magic Power shields condensed in front of them, shining brightly on the mountain peak. The two great cultivators disregarded everything and spread their Magic Power above their heads. The layers of Magic Power shields almost blurred their figures.
However, the warning signs in Li Yingqi's heart had not yet dissipated. After communicating with Lian Xing, the Power of Laws of heaven and earth emanated, and strange phenomena of heaven and earth gradually appeared behind the two of them.
A brilliant light shone brightly above the Mount Emei Range, and immense Magic Power condensed on the earth. In the illusions, there were towering deities and towering buildings that seemed to spring up out of nowhere.
But anyone with a little knowledge knows that this is an illusion condensed from the lifelong Dao of two great cultivators, a manifestation of the strange phenomena of heaven and earth, and a result of the ability to draw upon the power of heaven and earth.
Despite the strange phenomenon, the two remained deeply worried; their furrowed brows betrayed their current state of mind. They had already given their all to deal with Xu Long's attack.
Li Yingqi heard a dull "bang" sound in the light of the treasure, and it felt as if something in her heart had been shattered. Her pretty face turned deathly pale.
A winding, spiraling pattern was reflected in his bright eyes, and before him stood a massive cannonball, carrying a surge of scorching energy, hurtling towards him.
