The Beginning of the Sword Formation
Although Han Li did not know how powerful this so-called “Seven Dragons Pillar” was, when he heard Silvermoon’s panicked voice, his heart naturally tightened.
With a wave of his sleeve, the 36 Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords released a buzzing sound as they flew out of his sleeve.
Since he knew that the other party was not an ordinary devil cultivator, Han Li did not have the mood to use other methods to slowly probe the other party’s depths. He directly used his newly refined flying swords, intending to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.
Thirty-six foot-long streaks of golden light circled above Han Li’s head and he struck them with several spell seals.
All of the golden light immediately trembled and split into over 100 identical streaks of sword Qi.
Just as Han Li was about to cast a spell to form the Aureate Sword Formation, the seven pillars of light around him attacked first.
At the same time, the silver flood dragons on the pillars turned their heads to look at Han Li, who was in the middle. They opened their mouths, which was shimmering with silver light, as if something was about to be spat out.
Han Li did not have time to think. He pointed at the blue shield in front of him and spiritual light flashed. The treasure instantly turned into a blue water curtain that enveloped him. With his other hand, he took out the embroidered handkerchief and turned it into a white mist that appeared around the water curtain.
At the same time, a white figure flew out from Han Li’s sleeve and landed on the ground, turning into a beautiful woman.
Silvermoon possessed the body of a demon fox and ran out on its own.
Just as Han Li was feeling surprised, Silvermoon raised her hand and a purple light shot out. It was the Purple Cloudlace.
Under Silvermoon’s nervous expression, the ancient treasure transformed into a net of purple flames and laid down another layer of protection.
Han Li’s heart trembled. He had set up two layers of protection, but Silvermoon still felt that it was insufficient. Was this “Seven Dragons Pillar” really so powerful?
Just as this thought appeared in Han Li’s mind, silver light silently shot out from the mouths of the seven silver flood dragons. They were actually seven seemingly tangible silver pillars of light.
Seven bowl-thick streaks of silver light flashed and collided with the net of flames formed by the Purple Cloudlace.
Silver light and purple flames intertwined with one another, but the purple net only lasted for a short moment before seven holes appeared in it.
The seven streaks of silver light didn’t slow down in the slightest and struck the light mist formed by the handkerchief.
As soon as they came into contact, the light mist roiled incessantly and appeared to be on the verge of collapse.
When Han Li saw this, he took a deep breath and his expression changed slightly.
At this rate, the three layers of defense he had set up would be completely destroyed in an instant. What kind of attack was this? It was actually so powerful!
Just as Han Li was thinking this, Silvermoon saw this and her face relaxed.
“So it was a replica. I’ve been worried for nothing!” Silvermoon muttered and formed an incantation gesture with her hand. She opened her mouth and spat out a pink bead along with a cloud of fragrant mist.
The bead was the size of a thumb and emitted a fragrant aroma.
Silvermoon then chanted an incantation and pointed a white finger at the bead.
With a light bang, the bead exploded on its own, transforming into countless dazzling powders that flew toward the surrounding blue water barrier.
Han Li was stunned for a moment, but he had no intention of stopping her.
As soon as the water curtain absorbed the powder, brilliant spiritual light erupted from it, and its surface lit up as if it were made up of countless copper mirrors of different sizes.
At that moment, the silver light shattered the white mist and struck the final layer of defense.
Seeing this, Han Li became nervous, but he did not stop casting spells. Unknowingly, the sword lights circling above his head began to strangely disappear.
Brilliant piercing light erupted from the water barrier, and the seven streaks of silver light trembled slightly before being repelled by the light. Furthermore, they shot towards the seven pillars of light at a speed that was even faster than their original speed.
This move not only surprised Han Li, but the black-robed youth was also caught off guard.
He was completely captivated by the fact that there was a beautiful young woman beside Han Li.
The word “replica” that Silvermoon had just muttered did not escape his ears, causing a trace of surprise to flash across the black-robed youth’s face.
A series of rumbling sounds rang out as the seven pillars of light and the silver flood dragons were instantly engulfed in silver light.
Han Li was stunned. It was hard to believe that such a powerful treasure could be destroyed so easily.
Silvermoon pursed her red lips and revealed a smug smile.
Silvermoon patted her chest and softly laughed, “So it wasn’t only a replica, but also a half-finished product. It truly gave me a fright.”
“A half-finished product? How do you know the way to break the Seven Dragon Pillars?” When the black-robed youth saw that the Seven Dragon Pillars had been destroyed, his expression sank. When he heard Silvermoon say “half-finished product”, he immediately shouted.
Although he knew that the treasure in his hand was definitely not the legendary genuine treasure, he felt that it was too simple for a replica. Now that he heard Silvermoon’s words, he was quite convinced.
When Silvermoon heard this, her bright eyes shifted and she had no intention of answering. Instead, she formed an incantation gesture with her hands and cast a spell seal at the water curtain.
In a flash of light, a pink mist shot forth from the water barrier and instantly condensed back into the pink bead.
Silvermoon opened her red lips and spat out a mist of light. It extended and contracted, engulfing the bead before swallowing it back into her stomach.
“A demon core! Haha! So you’re a fox demon. However, your cultivation base is only at Level Seven, which is quite strange. But this is just fine. In the Great Jin, there are many cultivators who want a fox demon concubine. A fox demon that can take human form is priceless and comparable to a first-rate heavenly treasure. This time, I really didn’t come in vain.” The black-robed youth was furious at first, but after carefully sweeping his spiritual sense over Silvermoon and the pink bead in the water curtain several times, an ecstatic expression appeared on his face.
Silvermoon’s expression changed slightly before she covered her mouth with her hand and said with a smile, “Although I really want to go with you, it’s a pity that I’m already taken. I’m afraid I can’t follow Senior’s wishes.”
The black-robed youth fiercely glanced at Silvermoon with a greedy gaze and nonchalantly said, “You’re already taken? Your master’s soul will fly out of his body in a moment. If you obediently follow me, I will spare your life. Don’t be ungrateful! Following me is much better than staying in this desolate place.”
“Are you out of your mind? I’m still fine, but you’re starting to have designs on my maidservant. Please look around first,” Han Li, who had been standing in place without moving, suddenly said sarcastically.
The black-robed youth swept his gaze past the dense sword light around him and disdainfully said, “You’re talking about these trashy sword lights? Although it is quite surprising that you’ve refined so many flying swords at once as magic treasures, you should know that life-bound magic treasures are only able to display great power through the nurturing of one’s own true essence. Refining so many flying swords is an extremely foolish idea. As for manifesting so many sword lights, it is even more laughable. What use would this ability have against cultivators of the same grade? Even if I were to stand still, your sword lights wouldn’t be able to harm a single hair on my head.”
“What you said makes sense. However, before that, I want to ask you a question. Are you a late-Nascent Soul cultivator? If not, then go to hell,” Han Li said with a strange expression and a murderous look in his eyes. At the same time, he secretly activated the Aureate Sword Formation that he had secretly set up.
When the black-robed young man heard Han Li’s question, he was stunned for a moment before feeling that something was amiss. He hurriedly flipped his hand and a short black axe appeared in his palm.
The surface of the axe was faintly covered in runes, and there was a lifelike carving of a ghost face on the handle. It was clear that this treasure was extraordinary.
At that moment, the golden sword lights in the surroundings let out a clear cry in unison. Brilliant spiritual light erupted, but they didn’t immediately attack. Instead, they began to disappear into thin air.
The black-robed youth was startled and hastily released his spiritual sense in an attempt to find the sword light, but he was unable to find anything out of the ordinary.
This caused the black-robed youth’s heart to thump, and he no longer hesitated.
With a cold snort, he unhesitatingly took out the black axe in his hand.
In a flash of black light, the axe swelled drastically, transforming into a twenty-meter-long axe that was exceptionally sharp.
The huge axe swayed slightly before fiercely slashing through the air.
Golden light blossomed, following which an unremarkable golden thread appeared and disappeared in the direction of the huge axe.
With a swoosh, the huge axe was split in half and fell from the sky.
“This is…” The disdain on the black-robed youth’s face disappeared without a trace and his expression became grave.
He then raised his hand and released a green flying saber, which shot forth as a three-meter-long streak of green light.
As a result, the green streak of light had only flown over 100 feet before it was cut into six or seven pieces by the same golden threads, resulting in a burst of green light.
“Huh! A Sword Formation!” The black-robed youth was quite knowledgeable, and he drew a sharp breath as he realized what was going on.
However, logically speaking, a sword formation could only be set up by tens or even hundreds of people. However, Han Li actually set up such a powerful sword formation alone, which really made the young man dumbfounded.
Han Li saw that the black-robed young man had somewhat understood, but he did not give this person any time to consider the method to break the formation. He immediately formed a hand seal and his spiritual sense connected to all the sword lights at the same time, suddenly activating the entire Aureate Sword Formation.
A strange scene immediately appeared near the black-robed youth.
Countless golden threads flashed with a strange golden light and appeared intermittently around the young man. They flickered soundlessly and slowly approached the center.
When the black-robed youth saw this, his face turned livid.
He slapped his storage pouch, summoning over ten white beads that were covered in blood.
Afterwards, his body rotated in mid-air, and the beads shot out in all directions.
