Someone Else's Sword Formation

"Are you out of your mind?"

Lu Shuang cursed inwardly, but her hands didn't stop moving.

She drew her Frost Sword, channeling her True Essence into the blade. A condensed Sword Qi shot out from behind Lu Feng, passing over his shoulder and cleaving several first- and second-tier demonic beasts charging towards her in two.

"Laugh!"

The sound of Sword Qi piercing the air exploded in Lu Feng's ears.

Without turning his head, Lu Feng swiftly turned his blade and sliced down several demonic beasts on the other side before turning his face to the side.

"You arrived so quickly?" Lu Feng smiled.

How's it inside?

Still laughing?

Lu Shuang's voice was filled with barely suppressed anger.

"You're blocking this spot all by yourself, do you even know what you're doing? What if you run out of True Essence? What if you get surrounded and killed?"

"We're just worried that the guys inside won't be able to hold on."

Lu Feng casually replied, then swung his sword again, slashing away a wolf demon that tried to slip under his arm.

"Relieve them some of the pressure!"

"You..."

Lu Shuang stared at his retreating figure, her chest heaving slightly, but ultimately swallowed the rest of her words.

Of course she knew. If Lu Feng hadn't been there, Yu Wei and the others wouldn't have been able to hold out until now.

"I think you're afraid these monsters will be stolen."

Lu Shuang snorted, her tone carrying a deliberate sarcasm.

"Now I'm going to take it from you, you won't be happy, will you?"

"Nonsense!"

Lu Feng chuckled dryly and quickly steered the conversation back to the main topic.

"Let's not talk about that now. What's the situation inside the pass?"

"Everything's fine inside. Junior Brother Jin and Yu Wei are just exhausted of their Nei Jin; they're not injured. I've told them to stay inside and keep watch."

"That's good." Lu Feng nodded.

Lu Shuang gripped the Frost Sword tightly, her gaze sweeping over the endless beast tide beyond the pass.

"I'll unleash a sword formation. With so many demonic beasts crowded together, the sword formation's killing range is maximized. And with the sword formation in place, you don't need to guard this entrance the whole time."

Lu Feng paused for a moment. He didn't reply immediately.

Are you afraid I'll steal your credit?

Miss Lu has misunderstood.

Lu Feng quickly explained, his smile fading slightly.

"I'm worried that you'll expend too much energy after using the sword formation. Do you see over there?"

"More than a dozen fourth-tier Demon King remained there without moving from beginning to end."

"With that sword formation you unleashed, you've exhausted most of your True Essence. If those Demon King then pounce on you, who will stop them?"

Lu Shuang glanced in the direction he pointed.

On the high slope, there were more than a dozen huge figures, the leader of which was a fourth-level tiger king, its crimson tiger head lazily hanging on the edge of the slope.

"They haven't moved at all?"

"It hasn't moved. I've been watching it from there since I arrived. All those sent up are Tier 1 and Tier 2; there aren't even many Tier 3s."

Lu Shuang didn't say anything more.

She tossed the Frost Sword into the air, where it hovered three feet above her head, tip pointing downwards, its body radiating a layer of icy blue light.

She formed hand seals, her ten fingers flying, and streams of True Essence flowed from her fingertips, wrapping around the sword like silk threads.

The Frost Sword began to tremble violently as True Essence was injected into it.

Lu Feng stood protectively in front of her.

With Ink-Sunken Saber, he slashed and cut down the monsters that pounced at him, felling them one by one to the ground.

He remained stationary half a step in front of Lu Shuang, his blade always circling within two zhang of them, stopping any approaching demonic beasts.

Meanwhile, on the high slope, the Demon King also noticed the strange changes at the pass.

"Third Brother, what's that woman doing? Should I go and interrupt her?"

Profound Water Crocodile narrowed his vertical pupils, staring at the Frost Sword in the distance, his tone becoming more wary.

"Reinforcements are arriving. No rush, let's wait for more to come."

"Look at that woman's stance, it looks like she's setting up a sword formation."

"Sword formation?"

Profound Water Crocodile frowned.

"The sword formation has a considerable killing range, what if..."

"It's alright!"

The fourth-tier Tiger King raised a finger and gently gestured towards the pass.

"Sword formations and arrays alike are ultimately only effective against low-level demonic beasts. Judging by the strength of this sword formation, it won't be very effective against third-level demonic beasts. Let her kill them, and let's see how many she can kill."

The Profound Water Crocodile opened its mouth, but ultimately said nothing more.

At this moment, Lu Shuang's sword formation was complete.

Centered on the Frost Sword, the area within a hundred feet was completely enveloped by Sword Qi.

Each Sword Qi was only the length of a finger, yet sharp enough to slice through the air.

The demonic beasts within the sword formation didn't even have time to react before their bodies were pierced by the crisscrossing Sword Qi.

Some had their heads cut off, some were cut in half at the waist, and some were split in half.

In just a few breaths, more than a thousand demonic beasts fell within the sword formation's range.

While blocking the escaped monsters, Lu Feng glanced back at the battlefield swept by Sword Qi energy, his eyes filled with undisguised envy.

"Can you teach me your swordsmanship?" Lu Feng shouted at Lu Shuang.

"Want to learn? First, get a spirit sword. Only with a spirit sword as the core of the formation can it be used. Without a spirit sword, it's all just empty talk."

"A spirit sword? Forget about that."

Lu Feng immediately dismissed the idea.

He knew exactly how much the spirit sword cost.

Although he had a net worth of 550,000 Origin Crystal, he was still far from being able to buy a spirit sword.

Moreover, the Phantom Sword also has a sword formation, but it requires 100 million Demon Points, Demon Points are much easier to obtain than the Spirit Sword.

While trying to reassure himself, Lu Feng carefully observed the operation of the sword formation.

After observing for a while, he discovered that although the sword formation had a large range and strong destructive power, it had two obvious shortcomings.

First, it cannot be moved. Once the sword formation is set up, it can only stay in place, and it cannot kill the monsters unless they enter.

Secondly, although Lu Shuang can move freely within the sword formation, she needs to continuously inject True Essence into the sword formation.

In other words, as long as the demonic beasts don't rush into the sword formation's range, the sword formation is just for show.

Lu Feng had made up his mind, and called out to Lu Shuang.

"Since your sword formation is guarding this place, then I'll go out and kill them!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already activated his True Essence, drawn his sword, and charged out of the area covered by the sword formation, heading towards the direction where the beast horde was most concentrated.

[Ding! Successfully slayed a Tier 2 wolf demon, gaining 10,000 Demon Points;]

[Ding! Successfully slayed a second-tier bull demon, gaining 10,000 Demon Points;]

The system notification sounds intensified again.

He killed one enemy with a single strike; although his speed couldn't match Lu Shuang's sword formation, his advantage lay in his endurance.

The Five Elements Primordial Chaos Art continuously replenishes True Essence.

Just as he was getting into the killing frenzy, more than a dozen figures emerged from the passageway from the direction of the pass and landed on the battlefield outside the pass.

Leading the group were four Grandmaster, their auras calm and composed, followed by about ten martial artists at the Hua Jin.

"Support has arrived!"

Lu Feng glanced at it and thought to himself.

There were quite a few people who came, and they were all elites.

With the arrival of the four Grandmaster, the beast horde's offensive was immediately suppressed.

The martial artists who had Hua Jin also dispersed to kill first- and second-tier demonic beasts.
