“The Hexagonal Sword Formation …… is not right.”
Zhang Ruochen stared at the figures of the six female saints, his fingers followed and gestured, and then he gently shook his head, saying, “There are even more variations, the formation alignment is even more subtle, and you can add people and fewer people at will, and it seems to be even more superior than the Six Harmonies Sword Formation.”
Whether it was in his previous life, or in this life, Zhang Ruochen had flipped through countless sword dictionaries, and knew the sword techniques and sword formations between the world very well.
The Six Harmonies Sword Formation was already quite a brilliant sword formation, enough to utilise the power of six people to the extreme, and when it was executed by six saints, it even possessed the terrifying power of sweeping the six.
However, the sword formation executed by the six female saints seemed to be even more superior than the Six Harmonies Sword Formation, which Zhang Ruochen had never heard of or seen before, and it was only after observing it carefully for a few moments that he was able to discern the subtleties.
The power of the sword formation was so strong that if it wasn’t for the Great Saint Remnant Formation shrouding the Edgeless Island, I’m afraid that the entire island would have sunk to the bottom of the lake just as the six female saints unleashed the sword formation.
With Qiu Lanshan’s powerful cultivation, when he fell into the sword formation, vaguely, he was actually suppressed, unable to break the formation and walk out.
“Stop.”
A reprimanding voice carrying a powerful holy might was heard into the ears of the seven saints who were exchanging blows.
The voice was like a world-suppressing bell, Qiu Lan Shan and the six female saints all felt their eyes go black, their heads spinning, and their Saint Souls felt like they were about to leave their bodies, and by the time they recovered, they had already pulled away from each other by a long distance.
In the position between Qiu Lan Shan and the six female saints, there stood a silhouette covered in flames, with a pair of flaming phoenix wings on her back, a tall and bumpy figure, long crimson hair, a long snowy neck, and exuding a cold, holy, and overbearing temperament all over her body.
When Qiu Lan Shan saw that silhouette, a complex look appeared in his eyes.
The other party, who was clearly just a junior, was causing him a huge oppressive force, making him, a Tong Tian Realm Saint, somewhat ashamed of himself and not daring to compete with her.
Eventually, Qiu Lanshan withdrew his Saint Sword and said, “The Female Martial Saint also wants to shelter him?”
The Cang Lan Martial Saint stood proudly, like a rose in flames, and said, “I once owed him a favour, so I also hope that Academy Master Qiu will sell me a favour. I will definitely look into this matter and will not let the Saint of the Martial Market Chambers die in vain.”
“Since the female Martial Saint has spoken, today, this Saint will no longer pursue this matter.”
Qiu Lan Shan was not an uninterested person, with a status like Cang Lan Martial Saint’s having given him a step down, if he didn’t give in, I’m afraid that the Unbounded Island would be the place where he would fall.
At the same time, Qiu Lan Shan was also incomparably curious as to what kind of saint this Spiritual Saint that suddenly appeared was, how was he able to capture Zhu Qing Yi, and also be so close to Cang Lan Martial Saint and the Six Saints of White Feather?
Could it be this Head of the Xuan Maiden’s favourite?
“Farewell.”
Qiu Lan Shan was worried about being retaliated against by Zhang Ruochen and didn’t dare to continue staying here, he was about to leave when he smelled a bloody odour, and a moment later, a dense blood mist surged over from the front, blocking his way.
“What’s the point of saying goodbye? It’s right here on Fateless Island, where can you go?”
A cold and craggy voice came out from the blood mist.
A man with huge blood wings, wearing a skeleton mask and a murderous aura stepped out from the blood mist, possessing four arms, holding four blood swords, and in each of the four directions of his body stood a blood-red figure.
Obviously, it was just one person, but it gave the impression that there were five top-tier powerhouses arriving at the same time.
“Four Sword Blood Saint.”
Qiu Lanshan stared at the man across from him, his gaze shifted downwards, and when he saw that the Four Sword Blood Sage was carrying a bloody human head in his hands, he couldn’t help but reveal a look of horror as he said, “That’s Cang BeiYu, you actually killed him.”
Cang BeiYu was a TongTian Realm Saint of the Black Market’s One Piece Hall, who had fought with Qiu LanShan for many years, and his cultivation was indistinguishable. Such a powerful Evil Overlord had fallen on the Unbounded Island and died at the hands of the Four Sword Blood Saint.
Qiu Lan Shan’s heart did not have a trace of joy, only deep fear.
The Four Sword Blood Saint sneered and said, ”Sucking the holy blood of a Tong Tian Realm Saint is enough to increase my cultivation by a large amount, and it is, moreover, quite delicious. You are also a Tong Tian Realm Saint, I wonder how much your blood, again, can make my cultivation grow?”
The blood-red figure that stood in front of the left side of the Four Sword Blood Saint was shrouded in a blood robe, but inside it was a crimson blood qi, and did not have a real body.
It rushed out, a low hissing sound emanating from within the blood robe, and inside its right sleeve, a dark red blood sword coalesced and slashed diagonally.
Qiu Lan Shan’s pupils gradually dilated, and in his pupils, the sword shadow of the blood sword became larger and larger. With both of his hands, he hurriedly pinched out his sword technique.
“Flying Star Burial Moon.”
The Underworld Serpent Sword drew a circle, forming a pattern of stars and a full moon, as if it was a starry sky, and attacked the front.
The blood-red figure’s blood sword in his hand, gently shook, some subtle changes appeared, chopping on top of the full moon imprint, breaking through the sword trick Qiu Lan Shan had executed, and colliding in a solid strike.
“Boom.”Qiu Lanshan’s robes crumbled apart and his figure flew backwards, almost colliding with the Great Saint Remnant Formation’s Formation Inscription, but fortunately, Canglan Martial Saint stepped in just in time to save his life.
“How can it be so powerful? With the cultivation of this House Master, he couldn’t even block the attack of one of his doppelgangers?”
Qiu Lanshan’s hand that was squeezing his sword was trembling as he stared at the Four Sword Blood Saint, the fear in his eyes intensifying.
Although, Qiu Lan Shan had been a little careless just now before being repelled by the other party’s sword, but even a mere detachment was so powerful, how much more powerful was the main body? How could one not feel fear?
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze, fixed on the four blood-red figures standing in the four directions of the Four Sword Blood Saints, said, “Those aren’t doppelgangers, but rather, they are four Sword Slaves refined using the Sword Spirits of the Sacred Swords and the Sacred Souls of the Saints.”
Inside every Thousand Stripe Saint Artifact level Saint Sword, there was a formed Sword Spirit.
As long as a sword spirit was drawn out, combined with a Saint’s holy soul, integrated with the sword cultivator’s own sword intent, and a special secret method was used, a sword slave could be refined.
A sword slave was able to grow along with the sword cultivator.
Of course, the refining technique of sword slaves was quite cruel, and true sword cultivators didn’t even bother to do that, and gradually, the secret method of refining sword slaves was lost.
The Four Sword Blood Saint was able to manage four sword slaves at the same time, and each of them possessed the strength of a Tong Tian Realm Saint, thus indicating that his attainments in the Dao of the Sword must be quite superior.
The Four Sword Blood Saint’s gaze locked onto Zhang Ruochen’s body, his voice hoarse as he said, “A Spiritual Power Saint, to think that he knows the secrets of the Dao of the Sword that even sword cultivators don’t know.”
“You should have already cultivated all six of the swords to great perfection, right?”Zhang Ruochen said.
The Four Sword Blood Saint did not deny it and said, “Good eyesight, it seems like you really have a deep study of the Dao of the Sword, are you really just a Spiritual Power Saint?”
The Four Sword Blood Saint took one step forward, and with every step he stepped out, the aura, sword intent, and holy might that erupted from him would grow by a large margin.
Even with Qiu Lanshan’s cultivation, all of them could only back up sharply and hide behind the Canglan Martial Saint.
Among the four Heavenly Blood Generals, it was originally the Four Sword Blood Sage and Zhu Qingyi who had the strongest combat power, and when he had surrounded the Cang Lan Martial Sage, it was he who had heavily injured him with a single sword strike.
Moreover, after sucking in Cang Beiye’s holy blood, the Four Sword Blood Saint’s cultivation was, once again, on a higher level.
“Boom!”
The Cang Lan Martial Saint’s eyes were sharp, and the Saint Sword in his hand, thrust towards the ground. Immediately, a sword shadow rushed out from the ground in all directions, the tip of the sword pointing towards the sky.
Two powerful auras charged against each other.
“Defeated underlings.”The Four Sword Blood Saint sneered.
“Is that so? In a one-on-one encounter, you beat me?”
Cang Lan Martial Saint’s eyes revealed killing intent, that day, with her strength alone, she fought the four Heavenly Blood Generals alone, and in the end, it was difficult to defeat them with two fists, and she was heavily injured by the Four Swords Blood Saint’s sword.
Now that they met again, Cang Lan Martial Saint naturally wanted to avenge the sword of that day, and thus, took the initiative to attack, and with a lift of her arm, all of the sword shadows on the ground flew up, transforming into a rain of swords that flew towards the Four Sword Blood Saint.
“Swish swish.”
The Four Sword Blood Saint’s four arms waved at the same time, actually forming a sword formation, the four swords were united, and the four Thousand Stripe Destruction Strengths were also intertwined, turning into a torrent to meet the attack.
After striking the sword rain, the Cang Lan Martial Saint followed and flew out, a phoenix sound resounding within her body as a fiery phoenix silhouette presented itself behind her.
The Saint Sword in her hand struck through the four streams of Thousand Stripes Destructive Power condensed into a torrent, pointing at the centre of the sword formation.
“Rumble.”
The Four Sword Blood Saint’s body was pressed into a downward crouch, the bones in his body, emitting a series of crackling sounds, his feet stepping into into the ground, and even so, he still moved backward by a distance of more than twenty feet before Canglan Martial Saint’s power was dissolved.
The ground between him and the Cang Lan Martial Saint, on the other hand, left a groove one zhang deep.
“Worthy of being the head of the Nine Heavenly Xuanwei, it’s really powerful, not even having broken through to the Tong Tian realm yet, but having such strength.”
The Four Sword Blood Saint stood up again, his eyes becoming incomparably grave as he called back the four great sword slaves to guard his four sides.
The Canglan Martial Saint’s face was also somewhat sullen as he said, “Absorbing the blood of a TongTian Realm Saint has surprisingly caused your cultivation to grow so much. It seems that if I want to behead you today, I have to put in some extra effort to do so.”With a sword at full strength, the Four Sword Blood Saint had actually blocked it without being injured, and the Canglan Martial Saint’s heart was actually quite shocked.
The growth speed of the Immortal Blood Clan was too terrifying, as long as there was high quality human blood, they could rapidly improve.
The Four Sword Blood Saint said, “Facing a powerhouse like you, how could I possibly fight you single-handedly?”
A loud laughter rang out, shaking the forest’s phantom trees violently.
The huge body of the Wind Destroying Blood Saint walked out and appeared in the position behind Zhang Ruochen and the six Female Saints, saying, “With this Saint’s strength, I should be able to fight Canglan Martial Saint for eight or ten moves, right?”
The Cang Lan Martial Saint was calm and composed, saying, “Times are different nowadays, the two of you can join forces, doesn’t this Saint have any helpers by his side?”
As long as the six female saints and Qiu Lan Shan could hold back the Wind Destruction Blood Saint for a moment, the Cang Lan Martial Saint was confident that she could use the fastest speed possible to heavily injure the Four Sword Blood Saint.
At that time, she would be able to free her hands to clean up the Wind Destruction Blood Saint, and the Empty Front Blood Saint who was possibly hiding in the shadows and preparing a sneak attack.
However, just as the Wind Extinguishing Blood Saint appeared, Qiu Lanshan actually turned into a residual shadow and quickly fled, disappearing into the forest.
“Damnable.”
As the Cang Lan Martial Saint watched Qiu Lan Shan disappear from sight, her silver teeth clenched, giving birth to a surge of anger that a head of the Northern Domain Sacred Courtyard was so greedy and afraid of death.
With the strength of the six female Saints alone, how could they possibly hold back the Wind Destroying Blood Saint?
Was it possible that they would fall into the peril of suffering a siege again?
“Haha! Is this your helper?”
Both the Four Sword Blood Sage and the Wind Destruction Blood Sage laughed coldly, as if they were intentionally stimulating the Canglan Martial Saint, disrupting her state of mind and allowing them to gain a greater advantage.
