"Enough with the nonsense, today is your death day!"
A hot-tempered Confucian School patriarch stood up, his chilling killing intent bursting forth undisguised, and looked at Wang Hao as if he were a dead man.
Other Confucian School founders were the same!
"Clang!"
"Defeat us, and you can take those five with you!"
The ancient sword was drawn, and the leading Confucian School patriarch spoke calmly.
He knew that there was no point in saying anything more to Wang Hao now, and besides, they were in the wrong to begin with. The more they said, the more mistakes they would make, so it was best to resolve this quickly.
" Elder Chu, I'll go deal with those eight old geezers in a bit. Brother Chui and the others are counting on you guys!"
Carrying the Shameless Greatsword, Wang Hao called out to Elder Chu and the others beside him, and then his massive body crashed down on the eight Confucian School patriarchs like a cannonball.
The eight Confucian School patriarchs, without the slightest fear, drew their swords to meet the challenge and set up the Eight Extremes Sword Formation.
Eight sword energies of different colors pierced out, making Wang Hao feel a sense of unease and crisis.
The power wielded by those eight ancient swords in the hands of the eight Confucian School patriarchs was far beyond what Li Haoran and the others could have achieved on that day; even the Eight Extremes Sword Formation was far more profound and mysterious.
Indeed, it is true that the eight Confucian School patriarchs lived for more than two hundred years, and their cultivation and knowledge far surpassed those of Li Haoran and others. It is only natural that they had such profound knowledge.
" Sacred Body Golden Body!"
While suspended in mid-air, Wang Hao roared, and his entire body turned into a brilliant gold, with a faint hint of purple within.
This could not possibly be some kind of Sacred Body Golden Body, but rather the Metalization of his Metal Devouring Divine Ability. At the same time, it activated the protective technique of the Nine Revolutions Body Tempering Instruction, causing his entire body to radiate brilliant golden light, suppressing the purple aura of the Purple Gold.
Having unleashed his supernatural powers, Wang Hao was as solid as if cast in gold, charging headlong into the eight sword energies without any restraint.
That's right, it just crashed straight into them.
"Ta-da..."
Eight crisp impacts rang out simultaneously, and to the astonishment of the Confucian School patriarch, the eight invincible sword energies were actually shattered by the impact.
It just shattered like that!
Could this thief really be the legendary Innate Sacred Physique Dao Embryo?
Although shocked, the eight Confucian School patriarchs continued their attack without pause. With a turn of their sword formation, they surrounded Wang Hao, who was crashing down upon them. In an instant, sword energy crisscrossed within the formation, continuously impacting Wang Hao.
The Eight Extremes Sword Formation was indeed powerful. Even Wang Hao's Innate Divine Sense was disturbed when he entered it, making it impossible for him to sense the surrounding sword energy and dangers in time. He had no way to avoid it and could only passively fight back.
However, Wang Hao, who was maintaining his Metalization, didn't need to sense anything; he could just go all out!
His formidable Invincible defense gave him the capital to act recklessly!
After glancing at the eight Confucian School patriarchs, Wang Hao charged straight at one of them, Confucian School was wielding a heavy sword. No matter how the sword formation changed, he kept his eyes fixed on that one person.
He had witnessed the Eight Extremes Sword Formation before when he used Zhu Yanzu's disguise mode. Although Li Haoran and the others were unable to fully demonstrate the power of the Eight Extremes Sword Formation due to their own strength limitations, it still gave him a certain understanding of the Eight Extremes Sword Formation.
It's pointless to try and break this sword formation, which has been perfected by countless Confucian School masters over thousands of years; it would be too time-consuming.
Although he can indeed solve the problem with his Satori after activating the Dao Comprehension Function, it will consume a lot of Fortune Points.
Therefore, before arriving at this mysterious and extraordinary sword formation, Wang Hao devised a simple and straightforward plan to break it, and Qiao'er's Awakening Metal Devouring Divine Ability provided him with the greatest confidence for this plan.
Once inside the formation, focus solely on one person and ignore the relentless attacks from the others. Although the Eight Extremes Sword Formation has the function of deflecting force, the opponent will eventually become overwhelmed.
After all, the opponent was just a martial artist who followed the path of Qi Refinement. Although his physical strength had been tempered, he had not paid much attention to it. With his own strength plus the support of Innate Qi and the sword formation, he could only unleash a force of a few hundred thousand jin.
He can now unleash a force of four million jin solely through his physical strength. If he adds the support of Innate Qi and Blood Essence Martial Path, it can double to a terrifying force of eight million jin.
The explosive force of eight million jin is terrifying to even think about.
As for why they targeted the old man wielding the heavy sword, it's mainly because a heavy sword is obviously a weapon that relies on force and power.
He now prefers to confront people head-on!
Faced with Wang Hao's Shameless Greatsword slashing down relentlessly, the old man wielding the heavy sword met it head-on without showing any weakness.
The eight Confucian School patriarchs seemed to have seen through Wang Hao's intentions. The other seven used the power of the sword formation to transfer their Innate Qi through the ancient sword to the old man with the heavy sword.
This is equivalent to eight people working together to withstand Wang Hao's full-force attack.
The eight colors of sword energy merged into one, creating an eight-colored sword energy, which was very similar to the ultimate killing move used by Li Haoran and others.
However, the eight Confucian School patriarchs had it much easier this time, and they unleashed their power in the blink of an eye.
However, compared to the ten-zhang sword energy unleashed by Li Haoran and others, the eight-colored sword energy condensed by the eight Confucian School ancestors was only one zhang in size, but it was as solid as a substance and its power was even more terrifying.
"When!"
The two giant swords clashed, producing a deafening metallic clang, as deep and resonant as a great bell.
Wang Hao swayed, almost taking a step back, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
The moment he swung his sword, it felt as if he had struck a divine mountain; the strange, heavy force nearly sent him flying.
With a quick thought, he roughly understood that this must be the extraordinary power of that ancient sword.
According to the information he obtained, the eight ancient swords of the Confucian School each possessed unique and extraordinary abilities.
That heavy sword was indeed massive, as heavy as a mountain; no one within the same cultivation level could withstand a single blow from it.
Of course, that was in the past; things are different now.
Wang Hao swayed but regained his balance quickly, but the Confucian School patriarch wielding the heavy sword was in a much worse state. The terrifying force carried him back dozens of steps until he crashed into a boulder and finally stopped. His arms, which were holding the heavy sword, trembled violently, and blood dripped continuously from the hilt.
His tiger's mouth had just been cracked from the impact!
The old man with the heavy sword steadied himself and looked up at Wang Hao with disbelief in his eyes.
It should be noted that the heavy sword in his hand is inherently adept at clashing forces, and with the support of the sword formation, it can also deflect 90% of the opponent's power.
Even so, that blow almost crippled his arm.
If he hadn't consistently used his Innate Qi to temper his body over the years, possessing a divine strength of 500,000 jin, he probably would have been killed by that sword strike.
If even with 90% of its power removed, it could still leave him in such a sorry state, then wouldn't that mean the opponent unleashed at least five million jin of force?
How is that possible?
The other seven Confucian School patriarchs also did not expect that, with their blessing, the sword-wielding elder would be repelled in a single blow.
However, they all had excellent mental fortitude. Although they were shocked, they continued to move and expand the Eight Extremes Sword Formation, trying to stabilize it again.
The old man wielding the sword was knocked back dozens of steps and had already escaped the range of the sword formation, causing the sword formation to become unstable. At this moment, it was necessary to maintain the sword formation, otherwise, without the sword formation, they would be unable to contend with Wang Hao at all.
Unfortunately, Wang Hao wasn't stupid; he wasn't about to let them have their way.
Without a word of nonsense, he stomped his foot hard on the ground, and his massive figure appeared in front of the old man with the heavy sword as if he Teleportation. The Shameless Greatsword in his hand, carrying immense power, slashed down once again.
The old man with the heavy sword, who had not yet recovered, changed his expression drastically and dodged the terrifying blow without hesitation by rolling away like a lazy donkey.
He almost couldn't withstand the sword formation's support just now, and now that the sword formation has not yet recovered, there is absolutely no way he can withstand it on his own.
As for appearances, who cares when faced with life and death?
Unfortunately, Wang Hao's sword strike was not so easy to dodge.
The Shameless Greatsword, carrying immense power, suddenly reversed course in an impossible turn and continued its slash towards the old man with the heavy sword.
Absolute control over one's own power is a mandatory course for every strong person; otherwise, if one cannot even control one's own power, fighting against others is nothing more than offering one's head as a sacrifice.
Wang Hao's control over his own power was naturally excellent, so changing direction under a full-force attack, which seemed impossible, was actually not difficult for him; at most, he would suffer a slight backlash.
With the restorative power his Bloodline Power has now demonstrated, that backlash is nothing; he can just tough it out.
Unfortunately, due to that delay, the other seven Confucian School patriarchs caught up, and the Eight Extremes Sword Formation resumed operation.
The eight-colored sword energy once again condensed on the heavy sword, meeting the Shameless Greatsword that Wang Hao was slashing at.
The Confucian School Eight Extremes Sword Formation, the strongest foundation of the school, was thus broken by Wang Hao in an extremely brutal way. Although they still had many powerful moves, they were unable to combine them because the old man wielding the sword was being closely watched and suppressed. They could only frustratingly keep fighting back.
But if they abandon their support for the old man with the heavy sword and instead focus on unleashing their killing move, the old man with the heavy sword will definitely be killed.
Once they completely lose the support of the old man wielding the sword, the Eight Extremes Sword Formation will surely cease to exist, and they will also lose.
This created a vicious cycle that drove the eight Confucian School patriarchs to despair.
Wang Hao's method, though simple and crude, was very effective, leaving them unable to think of a countermeasure for a while.
The main reason for this is that the Confucian School had never encountered such an Invincible opponent before. The pure sword energy of the ancient sword could not even break through the opponent's defense, so there was simply no way to fight against them.
Having never encountered such an opponent before, they naturally wouldn't have evolved the Eight Extremes Sword Formation in this direction, which put them on the defensive this time, leaving them unable to come up with a solution in a short period of time.
"Is this the peerless genius? He actually overpowered the eight Confucian School patriarchs and completely gained the upper hand!"
"It's not that those eight old Confucian School scholars were weak, but rather that their opponents were too strong. That Sacred Body Golden Body technique is practically Invincible in terms of defense; even with the support of the ancient sword and the Eight Extremes Sword Formation, it couldn't be broken. No wonder the Sacred Body is hailed as the strongest physique of our Human Clan; it truly deserves the title, truly deserves it!"
"If you ask me, what's truly terrifying is that kid's strength. I fought with that old devil from the Confucian School back then. His Giant Gate Heavy Sword was not only heavy, but it could also deflect nearly 50% of the opponent's force. With the support of the Eight Extremes Sword Formation, the deflection rate would be even greater."
That kid was able to beat that old ghost so badly, his strength must be several million jin. I really don't know how Wang Hao cultivated himself.
The many martial arts masters watching from the sidelines were shocked and amazed; it was the first time they had ever seen those eight old Confucian School scholars in such a sorry state.
This battle made them realize once again the power of the overseas martial arts world. Although Wang Hao came from their Central Plains, his lineage actually came from the Great Heavenly Demon.
According to the intelligence they obtained, a few years ago Wang Hao was just a Third-Rate martial artist who was almost killed by the Confucian School. But in just a few years, he has grown to such a terrifying level.
Even the eight Confucian School patriarchs, the pinnacle of Confucianism in the Central Plains, were suppressed and beaten, which gives you an idea of the terrifying power of martial arts transmission overseas.
Of course, Wang Hao's Innate Sacred Physique Dao Embryo also contributed to this; the combination of the two created such a terrifying prodigy.
This time, Confucian School is likely to suffer a major setback!
Everyone sighed with regret. Although they all hoped to see the Confucian School suffer a loss and be defeated, they did not want it to be defeated so decisively.
After all, Confucian School was the elder brother of the Central Plains and their representative.
Such a crushing defeat would be incredibly humiliating for them, and it would also make the Central Plains unable to hold its head high in the eyes of the overseas martial arts world, inevitably putting them in an even more passive position in the future.
But will Confucian School really fail?
The eight Confucian School patriarchs in the midst of the battle knew that they would inevitably be defeated if things continued this way, and they had to think of a way to turn the tide.
The Confucian School patriarch at the head of the group flashed a cold light in his eyes, as if he had made a decision.
With the blessing of the Eight Extremes Sword Formation, the eight Confucian School patriarchs were in a state of perfect harmony. The other seven patriarchs quickly understood the meaning of the leading patriarch, and the patriarch wielding the Giant Gate Heavy Sword was even more determined!
Don't think that the Confucian School has no other trump cards!
