Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2183 Chapter 1022: One Sword from Heaven (Part 2)

Cheng Mo hoisted his massive axe high, bellowed with fury, and chopped savagely toward Xiao Ruohan.

Ouyang Xuan swiftly unleashed his movement skill, his Taia Sword glinting with icy sharpness, thrusting directly at Xiao Ruohan's heart.

Mo Hua reacted in a flash, hurling a barrage of fireballs his way.

Yet those fireballs got halted by a Golden Body Talisman, unable to disrupt Xiao Ruohan's sword strikes, merely inflicting slight burns.

The Sword Qi from Linghu Xiao and Situ Jian got parried by two Heavenly Sword Sect disciples, both armed with swords.

Cheng Mo and Ouyang Xuan found themselves tied up by two additional Heavenly Sword Sect disciples, stopping them from approaching Xiao Ruohan.

Mo Hua yelled out, "Xiaoxiao, hit him now!"

Linghu Xiao got the message and promptly seized a Golden Body Talisman, lifted his Chongxu Sword, poured forth all his Spiritual Power, crafting a stunning yet lethal Water Moon-hued Chongxu Sword Breath, its power just as fearsome as it confronted Xiao Ruohan.

Each displayed Superior Sword Techniques.

Both stood as Sword Dao geniuses.

The pair clashed on equal footing, impossible to tell who held the advantage right then.

The Heavenly Sword Sect disciples sensed the threat and quickly redirected their assaults toward Linghu Xiao.

Situ Jian brandished the Li Fire Sword, rushing ahead.

In the furious exchange of blades, after multiple clashes, the Li Fire Sword's legacy fell short against the Heavenly Sword Technique. Situ Jian ended up trapped, struggling to hold his ground.

Cheng Mo and Ouyang Xuan had no option but to pivot and aid Linghu Xiao.

The battlefield turned into utter pandemonium for an instant.

Sword Energy Skills collided fiercely.

Disciples from both factions battled desperately for survival.

As everyone vied to stay alive, Xiao Ruohan's sword strikes had built up sufficient force. He didn't waver, unleashing his blade in a sweeping arc, a brilliant sword beam like a shooting star plummeting from above, One Sword from Heaven, targeted at the city gate.

Ouyang Xuan shielded Linghu Xiao, unable to pull away.

Seeing this, Cheng Mo and Situ Jian clenched their jaws and lunged at the sword beam, staking their lives to intercept it.

Yet this fatal blow from the Nine Heavenly Sword Techniques proved overwhelmingly potent.

The sword beam barreled onward, instantly taking out Cheng Mo and Situ Jian, before pressing on to slam into the city gate shielded by a High-Rank Gold Stone Formation.

At that very moment, witnessing the sacrifice of Cheng Mo and Situ Jian, Linghu Xiao's rage ignited in his chest, his gaze turning frosty. He unleashed everything, slashing at Xiao Ruohan with the piercing, moonlit Chongxu Sword Qi.

Xiao Ruohan's sword technique remained incomplete, leaving him no room to dodge.

The other two Heavenly Sword Sect disciples rushed in at once, channeling their Sword Qi to block and absorb Linghu Xiao's Chongxu lethal strike.

However, Linghu Xiao's attack was no less devastating.

One Heavenly Sword Sect disciple fell to the Sword Qi's slaughter.

The other suffered grave injuries.

The leftover Sword Qi then battered Xiao Ruohan.

These two Sword Dao geniuses, employing Superior Sword Techniques and lethal blows, broke through the barriers to land their hits.

Next, the Sword Qi detonated with savage force.

Two deafening explosions rang out, the world whirling around, ground splitting apart, dense smoke billowing everywhere.

Within the haze and debris, mesmerizing sword beams crossed paths, flashing brilliantly.

On Fang Tian's display, the atmosphere brimmed with heavy smoke, shattered earth and rocks, and lethal sword lights that sporadically lit up the chaos.

All onlookers held their breaths in suspenseful waiting.

They yearned to discover the result.

Had the city gate fallen?

Was Xiao Ruohan slain?

Between the Heavenly Sword Sect and Taixu Gate, who emerged victorious?

Amid the shared tension, the smoke began to clear, and the sword lights faded away.

Fang Tian's screen revealed the aftermath of the clash between Superior Daoist Magics.

The city gate lay breached.

Xiao Ruohan lived on.

Xiao Ruohan had barely endured one of Linghu Xiao's Chongxu Sword Qi killing moves.

But the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples had mostly neutralized the Chongxu Sword Qi.

The surviving Sword Qi, weakened like a faltering ram, simply lacked the strength to finish him off.

On the other hand, after Xiao Ruohan's Nine Heavenly Sword Techniques wiped out Cheng Mo and Situ Jian, it hammered the city gate squarely.

Cheng Mo and Situ Jian's cultivation levels ultimately lagged behind those of the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples.

As a result, despite their desperate block, Xiao Ruohan's Sword Qi only got partially stopped.

That was one factor.

Another was the city gate's immense size and fixed position, turning it into a perfect "target" that soaked up Xiao Ruohan's tremendously forceful sword attack.

Not a trace of Sword Qi went to waste.

This highlighted the defenders' weakness in a siege battle.

In an ordinary sword spar, if you're outmatched, you can flee.

But during a siege, with that enormous city gate rooted in place, escape or evasion proved impossible.

After absorbing the full brunt of Xiao Ruohan's mighty sword, even bolstered by the High-Rank Formation, the city gate still got torn open.

The Gold and Stone Formation crumbled.

A massive breach ripped through the inner city's gate.

"The city gate is broken!"

Cultivators beyond the arena cried out:

"One man, one sword, One Sword from Heaven!"

"With just this single sword, he slew two foes, shattered the formation, and flung wide the city gate!"

"Such immense power in this blade—truly befitting a Sword Dao genius from the Four Great Sects!"

"Turning the tide alone in dire straits, this is the mark of a true Sword Dao prodigy!"

"Xiao Ruohan will rise to fame through this fight. All will know that besides Xiao Wuchen, the Heavenly Sword Sect boasts Xiao Ruohan too..."

"The Four Great Sects are indeed hotbeds of talent, leaving me green with envy for our own sect..."

...

The spectators outside showered praise without restraint, chattering endlessly.

Within the arena, Mo Hua let out a sigh.

He gazed at the enormous Sword Qi gash in the city wall, a touch of helplessness in his eyes:

"No doubt it's the Qianxue Debate—these prodigies are each fiercer than the last; can't underestimate them one bit..."

"And no room for slacking off."

"Winning even a single round is incredibly hard..."

If only two formations were drawn, it would truly spell the end.
