Chapter 358 The Fighting Ends, The Mystery of the Jade
Their cultivation level has now improved by a whole realm compared to back then.
More importantly, when they used the Linglong Sword Formation back then, all four of them had depleted more than half of their internal energy.
In the end, he only managed to hold on by forcibly boosting his spirits with elixirs.
At this moment, their internal energy was abundant, and the power of this exquisite sword formation was more than twice as strong as it was back then.
Let alone dealing with a Grandmaster (Middle Yuan Realm) expert, even if they encounter a Grandmaster at the peak, they would still have the strength to fight.
Shanzi's gaze swept over his companions.
Seeing that Daya, Datou, and Shizi had already taken their positions in tacit agreement, they had obviously also thought of this formation.
He took a deep breath and whispered, "Form the formation!"
Before the words were even finished, the four figures had already moved.
Shanzi stood at the head, his long sword pointing straight ahead; Daya and Xiaolie guarded the two flanks, their swords flashing and fists clashing; Shizi brought up the rear, his long sword concealing murderous intent.
The four people channeled their inner energy according to the methods of the Exquisite Divine Skill, closely connecting their auras and forcefully blocking the charge of Gu Xuanchao's warriors.
Upon seeing this, Gao Kezi narrowed his eyes.
"What kind of formation is this? It's quite ingenious!"
A new battle is about to begin under the blood-red setting sun.
This time, however, they faced an enemy several times their size and a despair that seemed almost impossible to overcome.
Shu Lingxing stood beside the Empress.
The Empress, meanwhile, was holding the Lingxiao Sword, which was trembling slightly.
Seeing Gao Kezi walking towards them, they knew that another tough battle was about to begin.
Even if she exhausts her last bit of energy, she will hold off this most terrifying opponent.
Shu Lingxing gripped his weapon tightly, channeling his vital energy into the Empress's body through his arm.
At this moment, Shu Lingxing only knew that if the Empress could recover as much energy as possible, they would have a better chance of winning.
Yellow vital energy flowed in Gao Kezi's palm.
Although his vital energy was weaker than before after days of fierce fighting, he still carried the pressure of a Lesser Vehicle realm cultivator.
"If King Ling insists on resisting, then don't blame me for showing no mercy."
Today I'll show you what I'm capable of.
The Empress did not reply. She knew that saying anything at this moment would be useless. Only by relying on her own strength could she save everyone.
The Lingxiao Sword in her hand intertwined with a pale blue aura and rushed straight at Gao Kezi.
Seeing the Empress launch her attack, Shu Lingxing followed closely behind.
Gao Kezi neither dodged nor evaded; with a flick of his palms, layers of yellow energy shields formed, blocking all of the two men's attacks.
The clash of their energies stirred up dust on the ground.
On the other side, Xiao Lie and Ba Li Qiao Bu were fighting.
Every move Xiao Lie made was like a fairy dancing gracefully.
Kobari Chob's scimitar always managed to intertwine with Xiaolie's swordsmanship without him noticing, and sometimes even forced Xiaolie to retreat repeatedly.
"You brat, how dare you be so insolent before this old man?"
Baliqiao sneered, and his scimitar suddenly changed its move, turning into a blur as it aimed straight for Xiao Lie's throat.
Xiao Lie instantly lowered half his body and swept the blade across the surface.
The longsword in his hand clashed with his scimitar, sending sparks flying.
Using the force, he spun around and slammed his elbow into Barrychob's side, but the other man blocked it with the hilt of his knife.
The two exchanged blows with swords and knives. Although Xiao Lie couldn't gain the upper hand, he managed to hold him off with his superb skills.
Xiaoman's situation is even more difficult.
Che Hele and two other experts at the Great Yuan Realm joined forces to attack him, their spears like a forest, constantly stabbing at his vital points.
Xiaoman darted between the three, but facing three Great Yuan Realm cultivators, his Middle Yuan Realm cultivation was ultimately insufficient.
With a "plop," Che Hele's spear tore through his sleeve, drawing a string of blood droplets.
Xiaoman staggered backward. Fortunately, his lightness skill was quite good, otherwise Che Hele's shot would have almost cost him his life!
The most eye-catching sight of the entire event was the exquisite sword formation of the four members of the Shanzi group.
Shanzi, Daya, Datou, and Shizi stood at the four corners.
Their longswords intertwined to form a net, and pale red sword light flowed along the sword formation, forming sword energy around the four of them.
Gu Xuanchao's warriors charged in waves, but were forced to retreat repeatedly by their sword formation.
Gao Kezi had just parted ways with the Empress and Shu Lingxing.
He caught a glimpse of them out of the corner of his eye and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"What an exquisite formation!"
Shanzi swung his longsword, unleashing a sword technique that transformed into a beam of energy that pierced the chests of the two warriors.
Da Ya moved like a butterfly, her sword energy weaving through the formation.
Each rise and fall brought forth a spray of blood.
Big Head and Stone assisted them from the side.
The four worked in perfect harmony, their figures graceful and elegant amidst the flashing swords, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.
It was as if they weren't fighting, but rather performing a beautiful sword dance.
Li Meng stood alone in the corner, clutching the bamboo flute tightly in her arms.
Seeing that she was alone and looked delicate, several warriors from the Gu Xuan Dynasty grinned and charged on horseback, thinking they could capture her easily.
But their horses' hooves had only stepped within three to five zhang of Li Meng's side.
The iron cavalry beneath them hissed in fright and leaped up, throwing their riders violently to the ground, where they could only lie and wail in pain.
Shui'er and Xiao He stood back to back, their long swords flashing as they fought against more than ten warriors.
Shui'er and Xiao He fought fiercely among the enemy troops with their swordsmanship.
Although the two were only at the Acquired Realm, they fought back and forth with their enemies using their exquisite divine skills.
Their clothes were splattered with blood, but their eyes were filled with ruthlessness.
The battle raged from dusk until nightfall, with moonlight filtering through the leaves and illuminating the bloodstains and weapons on the ground.
Both sides were exhausted and stopped their actions at the same time, retreating to their respective sides to confront each other.
The Empress leaned against a tree, panting, with Shu Lingxing supporting her; both of them were as pale as paper.
Gao Kezi stood on the opposite side of them at a distance.
His chest heaved slightly, clearly indicating that he had expended a great deal of energy.
Xiao Lie and Xiao Man dragged their tired bodies back to the group.
Compared to Shanzi and his group of four, they appeared to be in a much more disheveled state.
Xiaoman's clothes were slashed in several places by the knife.
Even his exposed arms were covered in various bloodstains.
It includes both enemies and its own.
He sat down, panting heavily. The moonlight shone on his chest, revealing half a piece of jade peeking out from under his clothes, with a trace of bloodstains still on the edge of the jade.
A night breeze blew by, carrying the coolness of the forest, making everyone feel a little refreshed.
Just then, Li Meng suddenly trembled.
Her gaze was fixed on Xiaoman's direction, her lips moved, and she let out a barely audible whisper.
"Brother Lan Xiang..."
Although her voice was very soft, it was exceptionally clear in the quiet night, and it reached Xiaoman and Shizi's ears perfectly.
Xiaoman turned her head to ask Li Meng a question.
Unexpectedly, Li Meng appeared in front of him in an instant.
"Li Meng? What's wrong?"
Xiaoman was startled by her sudden action.
