Eighty-two, Sword Formation Arrives

  Watching the rapid acceleration of the sword's speed, it has entered the realm of unity between man and sword! The dark red sword with scarlet yuan force attached to it easily deflected Xiao Yao's lightning arrow and weakened Lei Dian Jian Zhi Bao's yuan might.

  Under the powerful offensive, Xiao Yao could only retreat again and again, her face stern and strained. Lu Jianying's swordsmanship was unparalleled, every move and style executed with precision and ease, without any flaws or openings. If it were just a comparison of martial skills, this would be absolutely impossible for someone like Xiao Yao who knew nothing about sword techniques to counter! However, the battle methods of an immortal cultivator are not as simple as exchanging blows with ordinary warriors, she also had her own strengths!

  In an instant, Xiao Yao's hand gesture changed, and the Thunderbolt shot forward, scanning the front. The yuan force poured out from both palms, transforming into several thunderballs that mixed with the arrow rain and swept towards the opponent!

  How long has it been since I last met an opponent who was evenly matched with me, ever since the battle against Zhang Fan in the Mortal Realm?

  Although her face was tired from resistance, the corners of her lips were raised in a faint smile, and her eyes were exceptionally bright, the fighting spirit in her heart finally boiled to its peak.

  Gradually, Ling Jian's swift and fierce attack began to slow down. If previously it was effortless, now he felt that every sword strike weighed a thousand catties, whether it was a point, a stab or a sweep, all of which consumed several times more yuan force, and were still increasing in intensity! Soon he realized that the cause of this situation was due to his opponent's increased release of yuan force. Every sword strike or every thunderball contained an astonishingly thick and heavy yuan force. The density of Yuan Wei's aura even made him feel a trembling sensation all over his body!

  Seeing his own advantage gradually receding, and possibly being overwhelmed, Rong Jianying's face didn't show a hint of panic. The connection between him and the sword remained perfect, using all his might to resist Xiao Yao's every attack. He believed this situation was only temporary; although the opponent's offense grew stronger, the consumption of yuan li was also enormous. In comparison, his own consumption of yuan li was much smaller, merely wrapping his sword in yuan li. As long as he could weather this storm of yuan li, it would be the moment that decided victory or defeat!

  But things didn't go as he had expected, one incense stick, two incense sticks..., until five incense sticks later, Xiao Yao's offensive was still strong and sharp, but his arm holding the treasure sword was already numb due to the uninterrupted resistance against the powerful yuan force, and a thin layer of sweat had seeped out from behind him. He looked up at the front, the expression on his face was no different from the beginning, without a hint of exhaustion, if this continued, he would probably be the first to collapse!

  What can be seen cannot be wasted, with a burst of power from the sword, his body flashed in mid-air, and in an instant, five overlapping shadows appeared.

  Even if Xiao Yao had mastered the "Mysterious Heart Technique" and saw through his true form, they were too close together, and he couldn't avoid taking this sword!

  But the sword's edge struck her body, emitting a dull hum, as if striking a stone. Rong Jianying fixed his eyes and saw that this blow only cut through her sleeve, but on her arm, except for a faint red mark, not a single drop of blood was visible!

  So hard!

  Ling Jianying was secretly groaning in his heart, but his face didn't show any signs of it. He took a deep breath to adjust the disrupted attack and transformed again. This time, Xiao Yao only felt countless figures flashing before her eyes, with multiple parts of her body being quickly slashed!

  Although this sword cannot cut through her physical body, the pain of being struck is still unbearable. Xiao Yao gritted her teeth and released her yuan power again, increasing it several times over!

  Like a flood, the elemental force burst out, and a sense of crisis flashed through Ling Jianying's mind. He hastily retreated 100 meters, quickly activating his maximum elemental force release technique to defend against this powerful thunder!

  Two ferocious forces collided violently, instantly bursting with a blast of air that sent both individuals flying hundreds of meters apart.

  Although so, Xiao Yao's thunderous might had not been completely dissipated, the remaining part continued to pounce on Luo Jianying! This time, Luo Jianying was indeed struck by a thunderbolt. However, he only retreated dozens of meters and forcibly withstood the remaining might.

  Xiao Yao saw that his chest was torn open, revealing a golden soft armor inside, but his face was somewhat pale, otherwise he was fine. She couldn't help but feel some regret and the other party's stubbornness also made her quite headache.

  Ling Jianying had the same feeling, since entering the Hua Shen period, he had fought against over a hundred strong practitioners, among whom were not a few Zǐ Fú Xīu Shì, but none of them could match this girl's "bearing" and her incredibly powerful physique that was comparable to Tiě Xīu, making it difficult for him to react in time.

  If others were to encounter such a troublesome opponent, they would likely feel annoyed. However, Lu Jianying was different; the stronger his opponent, the more excited he became. Now, his blood was boiling with excitement, and his desire for victory was burning fiercely.

  He threw the crimson long sword in his hand towards Jiao and Chi Xiao, and in the blink of an eye, this unknown long sword replaced Chi Xiao and Jiao to fight as one, and Chi Xiao returned to his hand again. Soon, he urged Chi Xiao again, and saw that the fiery red sword body trembled in the white light, instantly transforming into nine long and short swords, surrounding Xiao Yao in the center.

  "Senior fellow of the Heavy Soft Style," Qiao Jianying said, "Xiao Xiao slightly raised her eyes and saw that the moonlight had added a layer of radiance to his handsome face, making him look like a god of war, with an aura that was both majestic and intimidating. This is the ultimate technique of the Jade Sword Villa's sect, and it is also my most powerful killing move. It is the highest respect I can show to a fellow practitioner. Being able to fight you is truly my good fortune! Fellow practitioner, be careful!"

  "Nine Stars Consecutive Execution!"

  In an instant, the strongest Yuan force since Dou Zhan's burst from Ruo Jianying poured into the nine sharp swords, and the nine swords intersected and shone brightly, rotating in mid-air, with their Yuan forces connecting to form a complex pattern.

  It's a sword array!

  Xiao Yao's pupils suddenly contracted, and she hastily summoned the evil spirits in her body. However, a pale purple transparent soft ruler flew up to the sky, attempting to break through the Array Eye. At that moment, the array patterns shone brightly and changed dramatically, with nine array patterns transforming and binding the evil spirits, trapping them above the Array Eye.

  One side, the evil spirits were rampaging out of control, trying to break free from the formation's restraint. On the other side, the formation was flashing on and off, heavily suppressing them, making it seem like both sides had fallen into a stalemate. However, in reality, this "Nine Star Consecutive Execution" formation was only diverting some of its power to suppress the evil spirits, which might reduce its strength, but would not affect the activation of the sword formation.

  A suffocating surge of scorching yuan energy burst forth from his eyes, and Xiao Yao hastily activated his maximum yuan energy, conjuring a gigantic purple sword!

  She had used one-third of her total strength to break through Zhang Fan's Xian-erasing array, and compared to the Yuan-Infant period, this giant sword was even more sharp, already having a length of thousands of millions of feet, a width of hundreds of feet, covering the entire sky!

  Even so, Xiao Yao's heart was still bottomless, after all, this formation wasn't a residual one, and Luo Jianying didn't seem like Zhang Fan from back then who couldn't control the power of the Heaven Exterminating Sword!

  Formation method instant start. Now she is an arrow on the string and can't help but shoot!

  The purple giant sword stabbed fiercely towards the array eye!

  "Rumble!"
