Having decided to strike, the trio of Wen Xuan, Gu Huang, and Consort Xi were determined to kill Ying Wu.
Without hesitation or restraint, they unleashed their full power from the first moment, each summoning their natal magic treasure.
Gu Huang’s treasure remained his familiar flying sword.
Wen Xuan wielded a stone staff. As he infused it with spiritual power, the staff rapidly grew to a thousand-zhang length, transforming into a colossal pillar that seemed to prop up the heavens. The golden glow of the pillar was crisscrossed by countless crimson talisman patterns, as if molten lava flowed across its surface. Despite his frail and aged appearance, Wen Xuan was clearly a body cultivator.
Consort Xi’s natal magic treasure was a basket-like artifact that hovered above her head, emitting ten thousand streams of radiant light. These luminous ribbons danced in the air, stirring the black water below into a frenzy and raising water dragons that coiled and writhed. This Water-Attribute Magical Treasure gave her a distinct advantage in the aquatic environment.
Yet Ying Wu remained unfazed by the trio’s ferocious assault. Nine three-foot flying swords emerged in succession from her storage ring. Instead of scattering to meet the attackers, the swords aligned in a single line, spinning at high speed and unleashing streams of Sword Qi. These interwoven strands of energy coalesced instantly into a hundred-zhang-wide sword shield.
"Ye Hua, check the storage pouch for Spirit Support Dew and Blood Resentment Sand."
The storage pouch Daoist Wenxuan had thrown earlier had already reached within ten zhang of them, positioned behind the sword shield.
The moment Ying Wu finished speaking, the three attackers struck.
The first to arrive was Gu Huang’s flying sword.
He had attacked twice before without success, but hadn’t recalled his sword.
The flying sword was already close to Ying Wu and Song Wen, so despite Gu Huang striking last, his sword light arrived first!
Clang—
The flying sword slammed into Ying Wu’s sword shield.
The shield remained intact.
But the flying sword trembled violently, emitting a piercing wail as it flew back!
Boom, boom, boom...
Next came a barrage of water dragons, crashing against the sword shield.
The water dragons exploded into a spray of water that filled the air.
Seeing that the shield couldn’t be broken head-on, the subsequent water dragons scattered, diving from above and coiling from below.
In an instant, water dragons swarmed from all directions—above, below, front, back, left, and right—surrounding Ying Wu and Song Wen.
Ying Wu’s magic seal suddenly changed. The nine flying swords dispersed rapidly, and the sword shield transformed into a spherical barrier, enveloping her and Song Wen.
Boom, boom, boom...
The thunderous roar of the water dragons crashing against the sword shield echoed ceaselessly, yet failed to budge it even a millimeter.
Suddenly, a colossal golden shadow tore through the blockade of water dragons and slammed into the sword shield with a deafening crash.
"Boom—"
The explosion shook the heavens and the earth.
The sheer force of the impact unleashed an energy shockwave that shattered dozens of nearby water dragons into a deluge of black water, which was then torn into mist by the violent shockwave and whipped away into the distance.
In an instant, the surroundings cleared significantly.
The golden shadow revealed its true form: Wen Xuan’s colossal golden pillar.
At the point of collision between the pillar and the sword shield, blinding golden-white light erupted.
The sword shield’s surface instantly dented inward, and countless silver-white Sword Qi melted like ice and snow, emitting a teeth-grinding crunch.
The crimson talismans flowing along the golden pillar flashed wildly, as if magma were boiling, threatening to melt through the sword shield.
But then!
"Clang—"
Nine flying swords simultaneously rang out with clear, resonant tones, unleashing an endless torrent of Sword Qi.
The Sword Qi flowed like liquid light across the sword shield, surging relentlessly toward the dented area.
Meanwhile, Wen Xuan’s form had undergone a drastic transformation. He now stood as a burly, nine-foot-tall giant with a thick beard, his muscles bulging like coiled pythons.
His face flushed with an unnatural crimson, his eyes widened like bronze bells, and veins bulged across his body.
Clearly, he was pushing the golden pillar to its absolute limits.
Yet, the seemingly fragile sword shield stood firm like a reef in the deep sea, unmoving.
Even more alarming, the dent in the sword shield began to slowly rebound, sending a subtle but powerful counterforce through the air.
Silver-white Sword Qi surged like a furious tide, crashing outward in layers.
The dent in the sword shield snapped back into place, restoring its original form.
The crimson talismans on the giant pillar flickered violently, but they could not withstand this sustained, overwhelming counterforce and were forcibly pushed back.
Wen Xuan felt his Qi and Blood surge within him, his body swaying involuntarily.
The counterforce radiating from the sword shield forcibly dispersed the spiritual power he had channeled into the giant pillar, causing him discomfort.
A flicker of horror crossed his wide, furious eyes.
"How... is this possible? She’s only at the Late Body Integration Stage. How could she withstand the combined assault of the three of us?"
"The Great Void Sword Formation!" Gu Huang’s face also showed shock. "Ying Wu has actually mastered the Great Void Sword Formation, and she’s using nine high-grade spirit treasure flying swords as its foundation! Where did she get so many high-grade spirit treasures?"
"What exactly is the Great Void Sword Formation?" Consort Xi asked.
"This sword formation is both offensive and defensive, truly the most profound and sophisticated in the Myriad Swords Pavilion—and its most destructive. Throughout the pavilion’s history, fewer than ten people have successfully cultivated this formation. Every one of them was a peerless genius in the sword dao, worthy of being called a sword immortal of their era!"
Gu Huang’s brow furrowed, his eyes flickering with disbelief.
"I remember when we were young, Ying Wu’s sword dao talent was outstanding, though slightly inferior to mine. How has her talent grown so terrifying with age? She’s even mastered the Great Void Sword Formation!"
"Hmph!"
Wen Xuan, now incarnated as a burly man, snorted coldly.
"No matter how powerful a sword formation, it still requires spiritual power to activate. I want to see how long her mere Late Body Integration Stage cultivation can withstand our combined assault!"
"Exactly! That Ye Hua is a waste of space—no need to even consider him. The three of us working together can drain Ying Wu’s spiritual power through sheer attrition," Consort Xi said, her eyes gleaming with malice.
As the three plotted their strategy, Ying Wu, noticing the weakening of their offensive, turned to Song Wen beside her.
"Are there any Spirit Support Dew or Blood Resentment Sand in the storage pouch?"
"No."
Two jade bottles floated in front of Song Wen.
The surface of the bottles was covered in cracks, as if they might shatter at any moment.
Moreover, the bottles trembled incessantly, as if a trapped beast were thrashing within, desperately trying to break free from its confinement.
Fortunately, Song Wen had firmly restrained them with his spiritual power, preventing them from shattering.
"These two jade bottles must contain poison. If I hadn’t been prepared, they would have shattered the moment I opened the storage pouch."
"Poison!"
Ying Wu’s eyebrows shot up, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
"It seems they never intended to trade fairly from the start; they wanted to kill us! In that case, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"
Ying Wu changed her hand seals, and the spherical sword shield began to contract inward.
She then passed through the shield, emerging to stand outside it.
"Ye Hua, this sword formation will protect you completely. Stay within it while I deal with them. I’ll make them pay for this."
