Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Jiang Ding’s glabella revealed a thumb-sized pitch-black hole, with the deep azure light and magnetic patterns interlacing like various array patterns, branding upon it.

Boom!

In the violent blast of air, the Taiqing Flying Sword once again vanished from sight.

”It’s a pity that without the enhancement of the Air-Space Warplane Three-grade Array, just an Electromagnetic Main Gun, even fused with the electromagnetic mark at the glabella, barely touches the edges of the Third-order Magnetic Field Spiritual Energy Gathering Killing Array.”

”Most of it still relies on the Taiqing Flying Sword itself.”

With the Sword Intent of Destruction locking onto the enemy, Jiang Ding muttered to himself.

”Is there a possibility to extend the electromagnetic mark at the glabella throughout the whole body, branding array patterns within the bones, flesh, skin, and meridians, so that without the Air-Space Warplane, it can independently provide the support of the Third-order Magnetic Field Spiritual Energy Gathering Killing Array?”

”It seems the Electromagnetic Daoist Body suggests something like this. I still need to pick up the Dao Body Embryo...”

Ding!

The Taiqing Flying Sword cared for nothing else, just dead-set on pounding the Medium-quality Magic Tool Liyun Sword.

After four or five moves, three shallow scratches were left on its Yunse glaze sword body, the array patterns on the surface of the artifact cut off, greatly affecting the circulation of mana within, causing the sword-light to flicker uncertainly.

”Pff!”

Immortal Li Hai felt a needle-like severe pain in his Divine Soul and couldn’t hold back anymore, vomiting blood profusely, and looking ferociously at his companion by his side.

”Tianhai mongrel!”

Yet the other seemed unperturbed, not feeling any threat.

Looking as if he’d crush him with a formation without hesitation if he dared to make a move.

His patience was terrifyingly strong.

”Good, good.”

Immortal Li Hai felt a wave of powerlessness in his heart.

He knew that unless he was gravely injured, preferably in the fight with the Dari Swordsman to deplete the opponent, Immortal Tianhai would not act.

Even if the next moment he was to die.

He would rather die together than let himself take advantage and step over his corpse to obtain the Nascent Soul Opportunity and achieve the Great Dao.

This was something even more painful for him than killing Immortal Tianhai.

”Old friend, as you wish.”

Immortal Li Hai smiled faintly.

With mana surging and his face as pale as paper, a drop of dark red essence blood appeared in front of him, dissipating into thin air, transforming into a huge spiritual energy that flooded into his Elixir Field and meridians.

”Sword, divide, and divide again!”

Immortal Li Hai bellowed.

Hum!

The Medium-quality Magic Tool Liyun Sword, covered in wounds and with its spiritual light dim as if about to break the next moment, suddenly burst forth with an increased Yunse sword light, becoming transparently hazy, as the sword body split from one into three.

Then, it divided into six!

”Such aptitude for the sword Dao?”

Immortal Tianhai’s expression changed by his side.

Although extremely arrogant, this man indeed possessed extraordinary aptitude and talent.

If he had come from a good background, he might have truly achieved Nascent Soul.

But unfortunately, having great talent has nothing to do with others.

Even in the Xuanwu tiangong, if one couldn’t pay respects to a good master, talent alone meant nothing substantial – across the countless worlds, over hundreds and thousands of years, there have been too many people with great talent.

”Kill! Kill!”

With essence blood burning, the already slim hopes for achieving Nascent Soul diminished by another ten percent, Immortal Li Hai’s eyes turned bloodshot.

The six identical Yunse glaze Flying Swords naturally synergized, intertwining and forming the Six Union Starlight Killing Array, bearing a hazy starlight space as it aggressively confronted the Azure Flying Sword.

”Self-taught, the Sword-light Diversification has at least reached major completion!”

Jiang Ding was equally shocked.

With such natural talent, even within the former Great Sun Sword Pavilion, one could have made a name for oneself, and if able to advance to Nascent Soul, would be no weakling among Nascent Soul monks.

However, Xianmen Sect is naturally without any faults.

Having great talent is your own affair.

Every Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure of Xianmen, including the high-level cultivation methods that seem readily available to citizens, is accumulated little by little through the blood and efforts of ancestors.

Why should it be used to cultivate just because you have great talent?

”Kill!”

Jiang Ding’s mana surged into the electromagnetic interlocking patterns on his glabella, causing the Taiqing Flying Sword’s sword-light to intensify once more, its speed increasing yet another notch.

Nothing needed to be said, Taiqing Flying Sword was not meant for running away. No matter what opponent it faced, there was only the path of killing ahead.

Ding!

Amidst the sharp sound of metal colliding, the Taiqing Flying Sword and the six Yunse glaze Flying Swords that formed the Six Union Starlight Killing Array locked in stalemate for a moment, the golden patterns on the sword’s surface flickered faintly, piercing into the space of the killing formation.

```

It was as if he had entered a starry sky filled with starlight sword qi, where six great stars rotated slowly, their brilliance unsurpassed, swallowing and spitting out endless sword qi, aimed at killing the intruders within the formation— the azure outsiders.

The Taiqing Flying Sword swept through, eliminating swathes of starlight sword qi with a single stroke, yet still, like a tide, the sword qi surged relentlessly, inexhaustible.

Intending to advance and shatter the resplendent great stars, he was obstructed by layers upon layers of sword qi.

What seemed within reach was, in reality, as distant as the horizon.

Amidst the unending barrage of sword qi, the spirit light of the Taiqing Flying Sword swiftly dimmed, its speed and sharpness both waning continuously.

”This is the mystery of the sword formation.”

Jiang Ding muttered to himself.

No panic could be discerned.

If he encountered such a foe in another world, he might have to expose the Air-Space Warplane to escape for his life—for in danger, no one would take pity on a loser.

But this was a battle within the Xianmen Sect!

Comrades were at his side, and they would definitely not fail like the monks of the Qiyu Sect, who might stab him in the back amid the changing situation at any moment.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The dense sounds of missiles tearing through air, one hundred and eight in total, as the third-rank military formation stirred the Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi into unrest, all descended upon the array of starlight sword qi.

Suddenly, Jin Lingfeng noticed the change in the battle, abandoning all targets, all hunter missiles turned direction, even predicting in advance, and had fallen just as the Taiqing Flying Sword started to be at a disadvantage.

Arriving just in time.

Boom!

Rumble!

The majority of the forces supposed to strangle the Taiqing Flying Sword, the six Liyun Swords made of colored glaze, were bombarded chaotically by clusters of missiles, engulfed by an inferno, the sword formation trembling incessantly, and the endless starlight sword qi within withered away and dispersed.

”Opportunity!”

Jiang Ding’s eyes lit up.

Swoosh!

The Taiqing Flying Sword mustered its remaining strength, piercing through one of the most violently shaking great stars in the formation, and a faint sound of cracking could be heard.

The Six Union Starlight Array paused for a moment before exploding thunderously.

Only five glimmering Liyun Swords remained, hovering unsteadily in midair.

”Tianhai, I will kill you...”

Immortal Li Hai bellowed in rage, turning around abruptly, only to be stunned.

The person,

had already vanished without a trace.

”Oh?!”

Jiang Ding spun around sharply, looking behind him.

Eight or nine kilometers away, a Water Dragon Cane magic treasure inhaled vast amounts of spiritual qi, concealing its movements, striking from behind with its crystal-like fangs bared.

Swoosh!

Without hesitation, he burst forth with all his mana, transforming into a grey-blue escaping light, running towards the direction of the Air-Space Warplane group, while the Taiqing Flying Sword desperately returned to assist.

The attack was third order.

But the defense, it seemed it could be broken even by a Mid-stage Foundation Building Cultivator!

”I’ve already exerted all my effort to hide my form, but I was still discovered instantly.”

Immortal Tianhai’s eyes turned cold.

With a low shout, the Water Dragon Treasure surged in speed, catching up to the cultivator’s escaping light in an instant, its crystal fangs gaping wide open, and it clamped down ferociously.

”No, the attack seems to have weakened a bit; it’s only barely third order.”

Below the enormous maw, the Taiqing Flying Sword, about to reveal the golden Magic Arts-Breaking Immortal Gold patterns on its blade, suddenly stopped.

Jiang Ding flicked his finger, and thirty-six light blue sword qi emerged, forming a rotating lotus flower that descended into the crystal fangs of the Water Dragon magic treasure behind him.

Boom!

The Water Dragon’s gaping jaws snapped shut, shattering the light blue sword qi that spilled out, unable to be contained.

But its speed inevitably slowed, watching helplessly as the Taiqing Flying Sword successfully returned, guarding beside its sword master.

”Sky-Sea heavy water method!”

Jiang Ding’s escaping light halted as he looked towards Immortal Tianhai, his gaze stern.

”You practice the ’Sky-Sea Heavy Water Method,’ a cultivation method that enhances defense to the extreme, disregarding attack power. How dare you come out and ambush me?”

”You...”

Immortal Tianhai’s face turned pale as he hurriedly fled towards the formation behind him.

Boom!

Amid the sonic boom, the Taiqing Flying Sword vanished from the range of Divine Sense.
