The eight Confucian School looked quite grim, especially Qin Yan, who had spoken earlier.
He had just said that the Ten Directions Certain Kill Great Formation was inferior to their Confucian School Eight Extremes Sword Formation, but he was proven wrong the very next moment, and the resounding slap in the face was resounding.
What shocked them even more was that the already terrifying Ten Directions Certain Kill Great Formation had only been practiced by those ten peerless beauties for a few days, and they weren't even using the martial arts that came with the Ten Directions Certain Kill Great Formation.
Even with this, it would be difficult to unleash Issei the power of this terrifying formation. But even Issei of its power forced them to unleash the ultimate move of the Eight Extremes Sword Formation, the Suppress Heaven and Earth.
By comparing the two, the superiority or inferiority of the two formations can be seen.
"You all set up the Ten Directions Certain Kill Great Formation on the outer perimeter. I'm going to test the Confucian School Eight Extremes Sword Formation. How much you can comprehend depends on your own Creation!"
Wang Hao gave a brief instruction to Eunuch Chen and the other ten men, then strode towards the eight Confucian School not far away.
"You want to break my Eight Extremes Sword Formation?"
Seemingly sensing Wang Hao's intention, the middle-aged man in Confucian robes at the head of the group frowned slightly, unsure for a moment how much of Wang Hao's power he had expended.
The reason they didn't use the Suppress Heaven and Earth technique to break the Ten Directions Certain Kill Great Formation earlier was twofold: first, to use the Black Mountain Old Devil and his group to probe the opponent's backup plans; and second, to deplete the opponent's power so that they could reap the benefits later.
However, judging from the other party's current appearance, it seems that they haven't expended much energy.
Was the opponent putting on a show, or were they genuinely unharmed, or did they have some other trump card up their sleeve?
" The Eight Extremes Sword Formation? Tch! I have no interest in that kind of stuff! Show me your Confucian School Eight Rows Sword Formation! Master Kong used the Eight Rows Sword Formation he created to travel the states and conquer the world. I wonder how much of Master Kong's skill you Confucian School have inherited!"
With a cold laugh, Wang Hao also displayed a disdainful smile, while simultaneously launching into his masterful deception mode.
The so-called Eight Rows Sword Formation was not something he made up; it was a sword formation that appeared in the novel the Legend of Qin, a sword formation unique to Confucian School.
This is exactly what he's using to fool people.
" The Eight Rows Sword Formation?"
The eight Confucian School looked at each other, their eyes revealing a hint of bewilderment.
This was the first time they had ever heard of the Eight Rows Sword Formation, and as direct descendants of the eight major branches of Confucian School, they knew very well that their family did not have this sword formation lineage, but they could not say it out loud!
The term "Eight Rows" originated from the Confucian School classic Analects and represents a type of Rites of Zhou. Everyone knows that Master Kong was the one who most revered the Zhou Rites of Zhou, so it's not impossible that he created a sword formation named after the Eight Rows.
The most likely explanation is that the eight major branches of Confucian School failed to inherit this sword formation technique, or it was lost during a period of great chaos.
However, they couldn't say these words aloud, otherwise wouldn't it make them appear as if the eight major branches of Confucian School weren't the orthodox Confucian School?
"Hmph! How dare you, a junior, even look up to the Eight Rows Sword Formation? You'll have to get past our Eight Extremes Sword Formation first!"
The middle-aged man in Confucian robes at the head of the group snorted coldly, which was taken as an admission that their Confucian School had inherited the Eight Rows Sword Formation.
For now, we can only accept it and wait until we get home to review the family's records again to see if we can find this sword formation technique. At the very least, we should find some clues.
At this moment, the eight Confucian School couldn't help but complain in their hearts, wondering how much of their Confucian School ' precious heritage they had lost!
The previous Literary Qi Nourishing Method might have been deliberately hidden by Master Kong and failed to be passed down, which is understandable. However, this Eight Rows Sword Formation is clearly a unique sword formation technique of the Confucian School.
Now there's not even a trace left. What were their Confucian School ancestors doing? They couldn't even preserve the complete legacy of their ancestors?
Upon seeing the eight Confucian School scholars admit their guilt, Zhang Wuji and the others watching from the sidelines, as well as the martial arts practitioners on the mountainside and surrounding hilltops, were greatly alarmed and became even more wary of the Confucian School.
The Eight Extremes Sword Formation had broadened their horizons, especially the final move, "Suppress Heaven and Earth," which was terrifying.
I thought this was the strongest sword formation in Confucian School, but I didn't expect there to be an even stronger Eight Rows Sword Formation.
Confucian School truly lives up to its reputation as a force that Xiongba the Central Plains for thousands of years!
"It seems I've been underestimated. Well then, accept this sword!"
A cold glint flashed in Wang Hao's starry eyes as he used his movement technique to disappear into the Eight Extremes Sword Formation of the eight Confucian School.
The eight Confucian School did not dare to be negligent and immediately activated the Eight Extremes Sword Formation to attack Wang Hao.
At the same time, Eunuch Chen and the others on the periphery also began to activate the Ten Directions Certain Kill Great Formation again, spreading their true energy to form a true energy domain, providing support for Wang Hao inside.
With the support of the Ten Directions Ten Directions Certain Kill Great Formation Ten Directions Certain Kill Great Formation, Wang Hao immediately became the core of the formation, pushing its enhancement to its limit. His Impermanence Sword Qi became several times sharper, and his movement speed became even more unpredictable.
His entire figure seemed to split into eight people, each wielding a Ziwei Soft Sword, and attacked the eight Confucian School, bursting out countless purple sword lights.
This is the highest level of application of lightness skill, which can leave behind afterimages by relying on extremely fast speed and the special nature of Innate Qi, while the real body is hidden in these afterimages, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Don't assume those afterimages are just illusions. Wang Hao can transfer his true body there at any time to make them real, launch attacks, and quickly dodge the opponent's killing moves.
So even though he was alone, with his own formidable foundation and the support of the Ten Directions Certain Kill Great Formation, he actually managed to fight the Eight Extremes Sword Formation of the eight Confucian School to a standstill.
No, it's not a close contest; he's gradually gaining the upper hand.
His True Spirit Sword Intent has reached the Peak Second Tier, and with the tenfold potential boost from the Nine Revolutions of Samsara Technique, it has reached a terrifying level of one thousand points. If we disregard quality and only consider the accumulation of quantity, it is already comparable to Sword Dao master at the Peak Xiantian Grandmaster.
Such profound True Spirit Sword Intent naturally brought him strong comprehension, although it was limited to the way of the Sword Dao, it was still quite good.
Furthermore, with the activation of the Dao Comprehension Function, his comprehension has been elevated to an extreme level, so he is gradually comprehending the mysteries of the Eight Extremes Sword Formation performed by the eight Confucian School.
This was also the main reason why he was willing to enter the formation. The Confucian School Eight Extremes Sword Formation was too exquisite. It could actually fuse eight completely different sword techniques into one, evolving into a flawless sword formation, which was very important for his Sword Dao cultivation.
If one can thoroughly understand it, the benefits gained are unimaginable.
As their understanding of the Eight Extremes Sword Formation deepened, dealing with it became much easier. They could even spot flaws in the formation from time to time and attack them, making things very difficult for the eight Confucian School, who almost couldn't maintain the Eight Extremes Sword Formation.
Although the Confucian School Eight Extremes Sword Formation is a sword formation inheritance that was combined by generations of Confucian School masters and continuously improved over thousands of years to reach a perfect state, it is not difficult for Wang Hao to comprehend it thoroughly, given that he has activated his Dao Comprehension Function and possesses the comprehension of Second Tier Earth Realm expert.
" Suppress Heaven and Earth!"
Sensing the change in the sword formation, the eight Confucian School all looked grim. The middle-aged man in Confucian robes, who was in the lead, even let out a soft shout and took the lead in activating the Suppress Heaven and Earth once more.
The other seven also joined in, once again unleashing the power of their ancient swords to unleash Suppress Heaven and Earth attacks.
In an instant, eight completely different terrifying sword energies filled the Eight Extremes Sword Formation, shattering all the figures that Wang Hao had conjured.
Seeing the eight hateful figures within the sword formation shatter, the eight Confucian School all breathed a sigh of relief. However, a voice that came from the outside immediately startled them so much that they almost dropped their ancient swords.
"This Eight Extremes Sword Formation is really quite ingenious!"
A figure dressed in luxurious brocade robes stood outside the Eight Extremes Sword Formation, calmly admiring the tear in his sleeve caused by sword energy.
Who else could this be but Wang Hao?
This scene startled all eight Confucian School, and their expressions turned even more grim when they saw the gash on the other's sleeve.
Their all-out attack on Suppress Heaven and Earth only left a tear in the opponent's sleeve, and the opponent even expressed admiration for it, as if this had taken the opponent by surprise.
Just how much did you look down on our Suppress Heaven and Earth killing technique before?!
The eight Confucian School felt Mo Da humiliated!
"Are you done fighting?"
Wang Hao cracked his knuckles, a cold smile playing on his lips, "You were besieging me just now, now it's my turn to besiege you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Hao seemed to have used Clone Technique, splitting into more than a dozen figures, each targeting one of the eight Confucian School.
Previously, when inside the Eight Extremes Sword Formation, the true energy domain formed by the Ten Directions Certain Kill Great Formation was somewhat affected, but now that they are outside the sword formation, they can completely unleash their power. Therefore, the number of illusory images they can conjure has increased from eight to sixteen, doubling.
Furthermore, having already Insight most of the secrets of the Eight Extremes Sword Formation, the battle became even easier.
More importantly, once he was outside the sword formation, he could freely use the Ten Directions Certain Kill Great Formation to mobilize the Innate True Qi of Eunuch Chen and the others, thus creating a stronger offensive.
This put the eight Confucian School in a truly dire situation. They were immediately suppressed and at a disadvantage, and even as they continuously unleashed the power of their ancient swords, they were still in grave danger.
Moreover, the Impermanence Sword Qi was too troublesome, with no discernible pattern in its attacks, making it extremely difficult to defend against. Furthermore, they lacked the formidable defense of the muscular burly man and the Western Regions from before, making it very difficult for them to deal with.
In no time, the eight men had more than a dozen bloody marks on their clothes, looking quite disheveled.
" Shatter the Firmament!"
Seeing that things were not going to go well, the middle-aged man in Confucian robes who was in the lead let out a long roar, pointed his ancient sword straight at the sky, and unleashed a magnificent and huge sword aura.
At the same time, the other seven people also understood and pointed their ancient swords straight at the sky, unleashing the sword energy from their respective ancient swords.
The eight sword energies expanded rapidly, instantly enveloping the eight people and intercepting all the Impermanence Sword Qi unleashed by Wang Hao.
That wasn't all. The eight giant swords rapidly converged inwards, and in the blink of an eye, they coalesced into a ten-zhang-long, eight-colored sword aura that slashed wildly down straight ahead.
The giant eight-colored sword energy slashed down, instantly shattering the two phantoms created by Wang Hao in front of him, and then the giant sword slammed heavily into the rocky ground.
