Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Scenes from countless years ago replayed, leaving the two gazes cast from the unknown to stare blankly.

”Indeed, a Swordsman...”

The female voice cheered with delight.

”The Eight Great Immortal Sects, mediocre and insignificant, not worth mentioning, just like the Eastern Devil School, scum of the same lot...”

The gloomy and harsh male voice said coldly.

...

Jiang Ding looked all around.

Everywhere was chaos, with colorful Spiritual Lights spreading throughout.

Roar!

The Black Tortoise’s shell was thick, its serpent head holding a dazzling Gold Flying Sword, the Sword Intent of Destruction permeated the air, slicing through space, its edge sharp beyond comparison, splitting the Sword Qi, the light of Elimination Methods, the Spiritual Energy, and even the air into two along its path.

The White Tiger roared skywards, swallowing and spitting out a blood-lit bone sword, pouncing forward with the bone sword piercing through.

The Vermilion Bird shrieked sharply, its fiery Sword Intent scorching and fierce, its wings flapping against the void, turning its beak into a streak of fiery red light, locking onto the Divine Soul.

The Azure Dragon roared angrily, spewing green dragon’s breath, eroding all things under its Wood Sword Intent’s dominant and poisonous force.

The Four Spiritual Beings, Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, Black Tortoise.

All of them attacked the youth at the center!

”The Eight Great Immortal Sects have stood to this day; they do possess some substance indeed,”

Jiang Ding remarked.

Nearly a hundred Sword Cultivators, each of whom he could not withstand a single strike from, gathered together, and they actually produced the combat power on par with that of quasi-third rank Taoist disciples.

If it weren’t for the death of Baijian Swordsman from the Shangqing Lingbao Sect, the Formation Method would have been even stronger.

With a flick of his finger,

Clang!

Facing the assault of the Four Spiritual Beings, the Taiqing Flying Sword with Bluegold Sword Qi converged on one side, breaking through the sky within the Magnetic Field Spirit Power Gathering Formation’s Array Pattern, and with the sharpest edge of the sword, it carved a regular arc one kilometer in size around itself.

It was just like the Expose Sword Style he first encountered when learning the ”Eagle Taking Off Technique”.

Ding!

Suddenly, a sound emerged in the sky, four streaks of Spiritual Light burst forth and then dissipated.

Wolf Sky Swordsman, fused with the Formation Method’s White Tiger, lunged forward to attack, but his figure suddenly halted, as a massive force accompanied by Sword Intent blasted towards him, repelling his attacking figure and leaving him in shock and unwilling to accept it.

”Taoist disciples, are they truly invincible...”

Looking all around, Mysterious Heavenly Swordsman, along with Vermilion Bird and Azure Dragon, all retreated, especially Vermilion Bird and Azure Dragon, who stepped back miles, causing numerous lesser Sword Cultivators within the Formation Method to spit out fresh blood, their aura drastically reduced.

It should be understood that ”lesser” is relative.

Every Sword Cultivator with Sword Intent at the Peak of Foundation Building has the strength of a quasi-third rank, capable of holding their own against a Golden Pill Monk, truly the favored sons of the heavens.

Here, there were nearly a hundred such powerful Sword Cultivators, forming a Formation Method.

Yet they were still forcefully repelled head-on!

”You, not bad,”

Jiang Ding nodded.

Pointing with his finger,

there were no changes, it was still amidst the dotted line matrix pattern of the third-rank top-level Magnetic Field Spirit Power Gathering Formation under the lock of the Sword Intent of Destruction, as the Taiqing Flying Sword broke through the sky, a standard Sword Control Technique’s slashing style, with one strike slashing out.

Everything seemed the same as before, but the speed had increased by an additional twenty to thirty percent.

This time, it aimed right at the Spirit of the Azure Dragon within the Four Images Five Elements Sword Formation!

Because, she was the weakest!

”Save me!”

The master of the Spirit of the Azure Dragon was a gentle-looking Sword Fairy, the oppressive weight of the Sword Intent of Destruction bearing down on her, causing her heart to tremble.

Her own Ink Grass Sword Intent shivered uncontrollably, almost collapsing upon contact, offering no defense, relying only on the Four Images Five Elements Sword Formation for a bit of cover.

The Taiqing Flying Sword broke the void with one strike, directly slicing at the Spirit of the Azure Dragon as it spewed dragon’s breath, causing the poisonous green dragon’s breath to collapse, the remnants of the breath taking a Blue-Green Flying Sword with it, wailing in pain, frantically fleeing.

Boom!

With nothing left to obstruct it, the unimpeded Taiqing Flying Sword struck the head of the Spirit of the Azure Dragon, the dragon’s head with shrimp eyes, antlers, cow mouth, dog nose, catfish whiskers, and lion’s mane burst into pieces, with Spiritual Light scattering in all directions.

The Azure Dragon, heralded as the Evergreen Emperor with the power to control life, did not fear injuries as it drew in Spiritual Light from all around, attempting to restore its head.

Yet within it, traces of the Sword Intent of Destruction were woven.

Bang!

The web-like strands of green light shattered in every direction, as the Sword Intent of Destruction passed through, eradication and annihilation followed, nothing remained.

Spurt!

”No!”

At the same instant, among the more than twenty Wood and Earth Sword Cultivators that made up the Spirit of the Azure Dragon, ten Sword Cultivators screamed as their bodies exploded into mist, their Flying Swords dimmed with no light, their Divine Souls extinguished.

The Spirit of the Azure Dragon shrank significantly, its body teetering on the verge of collapse, the Sword Fairy within, who possessed the Ink Grass Sword Intent, turned pale, her aura greatly diminished, a look of despair in her eyes.

Her slender body still remained defiantly upright, pitiful to behold.

”You are very beautiful.”

”Unfortunately, not for me...”

Jiang Ding sighed with regret.

Roar!

Almost simultaneously, the Spirits of the White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise attacked.

They chose two different directions, with Wolf Sky Swordsman from the Wanshou Immortal Sect and the Spirit of the Vermilion Bird spitting red Flying Swords, moving towards the Bluegold Flying Sword, to support the Spirit of the Azure Dragon, which was close to death.

”Die!”

The Splitting Swordsman of Xuanwu tiangong chose the opposite direction, his eyes icy cold, filled with murderous intent.

Underneath the Sword Intent of Destruction,

the serpent head of Xuanwu held a golden sword in its mouth, its curved body suddenly became rigid, turning into a bolt of golden lightning aiming for the head of the youth in green.

Clang!

The sound of metal striking metal rang out, and the spectacle of four collapsing rays of Spiritual Light blossomed.

”You are a bit too slow,”

Jiang Ding said calmly.

Indeed, the Taiqing Flying Sword had repelled the Spirit of the White Tiger and the Spirit of the Vermilion Bird and then instantly returned, forcing back the Mysterious Heavenly Swordsman with another strike.

The golden light above the spirit of tortoise and snake flickered uncertainly, clearly indicating turmoil within the mana of the many Sword Cultivators forming the formation.

The Taiqing Flying Sword shone with its Bluegold light, the Sword Intent of Destruction illuminated everything under the heavens, landing on every significant flaw within the surrounding formation.

”I think you are about to die,”

”Do you agree?”

Jiang Ding asked.

The hearts of many Sword Cultivators sank to the bottom.

Taoist disciples,

inhuman!

”Die?”

”We have not been defeated yet!”

The Mysterious Heavenly Swordsman roared, his Sword Intent soaring, his body exuding a tragic aura, his pure gold Flying Sword resounding with the unwavering will to fight to the death.

”To the death!”

”To the death!”

At this moment, regardless of Shangqing Lingbao Sect, Wanshou Immortal Sect, or Xuanwu tiangong, all the Sword Cultivators roared, and not a single one showed any sign of retreat after their opponent had clearly signaled utter annihilation.

Begging for mercy is a part of sword disputes.

If it’s useless, then it won’t exist!

”Kill!”

”With my sword, I will cut down the enemies of the Tao...”

”If the sword lives, I live; if the sword dies, I die...”

Each Sword Cultivator roared furiously, all of them burning their Essence Blood at the same time, their Sword Intents ringing clearly, filling the space between heaven and earth with the will of the sword.

”The Four Spirits unite!”

The Mysterious Heavenly Swordsman was the first to burn all his Essence Blood and all his mana, leading the Spirit of Xuanwu towards the most powerful peer he’d ever faced in his life.

”Kill!”

Next was the Wolf Sky Swordsman, leading the Spirit of the White Tiger to merge with the Spirit of Xuanwu, his blood moon Flying Sword resonating with the Splitting Flying Sword, intersecting and merging, seemingly on the verge of becoming one.

”Kill!”

Then came the Ink Grass Sword Immortal with the Spirit of the Azure Dragon and the Dragon Flame Sword Cultivator with the Spirit of the Vermilion Bird, along with the Sword Cultivators beneath them. All of them made a resolute choice, burning everything they had and turning into a single strike aimed at their opponent.

The Sword of Xuanwu, the Sword of the White Tiger, the Sword of the Vermilion Bird, the Sword of the Azure Dragon!

The four Flying Swords combined, chaos Qi filled the air, infinite Sword Intents and murderous intents spread throughout the heavens and the earth, faintly forming a four-colored Flying Sword illusion. Fine threads of chilling killing Qi that shook the Star Domain diffused, and its power surged massively once more.

The Four Spirits Slaying Evil Sword!

One of the ultimate treasures of Xuanwu tiangong!

Legend has it, the Last Great Sun Sword Master was once wounded by this sword, which was one of the significant factors in his subsequent downfall.

”Cut.”

Jiang Ding’s expression remained unfazed, still pointing with his finger.

Amidst the myriad dotted line matrix patterns, the Taiqing Flying Sword burst forth with the basic Expose Sword Style, its Sword Intent of Destruction suppressing all directions.

Clang!

The Four Spirits Slaying Evil Sword Illusion collided head-on with the Taiqing Flying Sword, making a sound as real as metal striking metal. The sharp sonorous wave spread in all directions, slicing the ground into endless rifts.

The Taiqing Flying Sword took a step back.

Then another step.

And yet another step.

The two divine swords clashed three times, each time resulting in the Taiqing Flying Sword being pushed back.

After that, the Taiqing Flying Sword no longer moved.

”So unwilling...”

The Mysterious Heavenly Swordsman’s eyes were splitting with rage.

Boom!

A loud explosion sounded as he and the Sword Cultivators who formed the Spirit of Xuanwu all exploded simultaneously. Bluegold Sword Qi burst out, flesh and Divine Souls turned into a sky full of ashes, scattering everywhere.

Next to them, the Wolf Sky Swordsman’s expression was wooden.

Threads of Bluegold Sword Qi trickled from his eyes, and in the next moment, he and his men exploded into a blood rain and then turned into ashes.

The Spirit of the Azure Dragon and the Spirit of the Vermilion Bird didn’t even have the chance to scream before they turned to white ash, scattering with the wind.

Peace returned to the land.

The infinite Bluegold light shone upon the land of the Great Sun Heavenly Pond, unimpeded, the only light.
