Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2211 Chapter 1030: One Sword (Part 4)
Previously on Immortality Through Array Formations...
Furthermore, it merely presented an opportunity.
The alliance had been formed specifically for the purpose of "killing Mo Hua", and its organization remained fairly relaxed.
However, once I claim the role of Alliance Hierarch, I can gradually alter the alliance's true purpose, bending it to serve my own interests.
And Mo Hua?
Who gives a damn about him?
He serves only as a tool to attract animosity, a mere excuse to assemble the masses.
The brilliant talents from the Four Sects and Eight Gates are utterly consumed by their rage, treating the goal of "killing Mo Hua" as their utmost priority.
Individuals driven by such intense hatred lack the vision for grand schemes.
Thus, I alone possess the qualifications to claim the Alliance Hierarch position.
Only a person who dismisses Mo Hua as insignificant, yet possesses the ability to eliminate him personally, holds this required "capability".
Ye Zhiyuan caressed the Daluo Sword gripped in his hand, feeling its harmony with his thoughts, his eyes piercing as he uttered coldly:
"As per the strategy, strike!"
"Understood!"
The Daluo Sect disciples activated their movement arts with rapid grace, resembling keen blades, swiftly closing in on the five Taixu Gate members.
It wasn't long before the groups clashed.
The battle was on the verge of exploding.
Four Daluo Sect disciples encircled Linghu Xiao, launching a fierce assault.
From a remote spot, Ye Zhiyuan directed the Daluo Sword, employing the Sword Control Skill in silence, mounted on the Flying Sky Sword, set on ending Linghu Xiao's life.
The primary strength of the Sword Controlling Technique lies in its range.
Following that comes velocity.
Finally, might.
The extended-range Flying Sword moves with incredible swiftness, its Sword Qi exceptionally potent, able to claim a life in an instant.
Among all Qianxue Sect disciples, some may boast mightier Sword Qi, but none eclipse his mastery of sword control.
Hence, he stands as the top "Sword Control" prodigy in Qianxue.
This gift comes from the heavens themselves.
An innate affinity for sword dao.
It demands clever exploitation.
Positioned at a safe distance, Ye Zhiyuan unleashed the Daluo Flying Sword Skill, feigning an assault on Linghu Xiao, while covertly scanning for Mo Hua's location using Divine Sense.
Before long, he located Mo Hua.
Much like himself, Mo Hua remained stationary at a distance.
Ye Zhiyuan sneered inwardly, his mind filled with disdain:
"Idiot, I stand immobile to command my sword. But you? You're just standing there, ripe for death!"
Mastering sword control decides survival or demise.
The perfect moment to attack vanishes in a flash.
With Mo Hua exposing such a vulnerability, Ye Zhiyuan had no intention of letting it slip.
His blade reaches far, strikes quick, and hits hard.
By simulating an attack on Linghu Xiao, he could then unleash a surprise sword thrust to finish him off.
This would leave Mo Hua off guard; no stealth or evasion art could protect him, sealing his fate!
Ye Zhiyuan guided the sword, his gaze locked on Linghu Xiao, while his Divine Sense subtly targeted Mo Hua.
His sword stayed sheathed for now.
In the following instant, he sensed something hurtling toward him from the distance.
Ye Zhiyuan froze in shock.
What in the world... was rushing at him?
The incoming object also covered vast distance, moved with blazing speed, and carried a subtle yet menacing gleam.
Ye Zhiyuan's vision failed to identify it.
Yet his gut twisted in alarm, and he realized:
A sword?
A sword?!
Someone was brazenly deploying a flying sword to take him down?!
"Save me!"
That was the only cry Ye Zhiyuan managed.
He had picked a secure vantage point afar, concentrating entirely on sword manipulation, dreading an ambush above all else.
A few other Daluo Sect disciples noticed the threat, rushing to position themselves before him.
They aimed to intercept this incoming flying sword for Ye Zhiyuan.
However, the flying sword's pace proved astonishingly rapid, rendering their efforts futile.
Not just them—no one foresaw a sword bursting forth from the Taixu Gate side.
This flying sword pierced the guard of the four Daluo Sect disciples, swift and accurate, striking Ye Zhiyuan directly in the chest.
Yet it was halted by his Taoist Robe...
Ye Zhiyuan's fear peaked.
The sword lacked any Sword Qi, failing even to penetrate his Taoist Robe.
Ye Zhiyuan exhaled in relief, unable to suppress his outburst:
"What nonsense is this? That counts as a flying sword? Zero Sword Qi? How could it possibly end me?"
The very next instant, the Spirit Sword trembled fiercely, as lines of Sword Patterns ignited.
Within the Spirit Sword, a Sword Array drew in Spirit Stones, activating on its own, promptly producing razor-sharp Mountain Opening Sword Qi.
The Sword Qi swelled massively, surging beyond the Spirit Sword's limits.
To the extent that the sword itself started fracturing.
And then, beneath Ye Zhiyuan's gaze of total bewilderment and sheer horror, the Spirit Sword simply... detonated.
The blast merged with the Sword Qi, thundering together.
The dense, lethal Mountain Opening Sword Qi, centered on the Sword Array, twisted into a vortex of Sword Qi, engulfing the area in a flash.
As though multiple colossal swords unleashed a devastating strike from above.
Nearby rocks and trees were shattered to dust.
Before anyone grasped the chaos unfolding.
The bell atop the Mount of Tao tolled.
The sword discussion reached its close.
A single sword had brought the contest to an end.
The entire Mount of Tao plunged into utter silence.
All were left speechless in astonishment.
Then, with a sudden "boom", discussions exploded, the clamor surging like an erupting volcano. The whole Mount of Tao descended into frenzy...
