Seeing Wang Yan walking towards them, the three of them, including the bald man, were shocked. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed that Qi Xiu, who was ranked 83rd in the Hidden Dragon List, would be defeated by a warrior in the Cultivating Embryo Stage, and with just one move.
But the truth was right in front of them, and they couldn't believe it. Hearing Wang Yan's cold voice, they realized that Wang Yan wasn't blustering before, but he really had the strength to deal with them at the same time.
What kind of freak was this Wang Yan?!
The same thought appeared in the minds of the three of them at the same time. But seeing Wang Yan walking towards them, the three of them knew that if they didn't make a move now, Wang Yan would walk away. From then on, they would become laughingstocks, even worse than Qi Xiu, because they didn't even have the courage to draw their swords.
"Preposterous!"
The bald man no longer had the lazy look from before, and cursed fiercely. Then he took a step forward, and with a slight shake of his shoulders, a huge sword rose from behind him. This person's sword was a broad-backed heavy sword that was nearly four feet long.
"'Heavenly Fault Sword' Mo Daozhen?"
Looking at the huge sword that was unsheathed, Wang Yan recognized the bald man's identity. This was also one of the few true disciples he knew, probably because of the uniqueness of the sword he used.
'Heavenly Fault Sword' Mo Daozhen was quite famous among the true disciples. He was even called the Five Proud Swords of the South, together with Duan Henan, Qi Xiu, 'Thoughtful Sword' Wang Yuantao, and 'Dragon Tooth Sword' Chen Chong. The Five Proud Swords of the South referred to the South Yue State, and the Proud naturally referred to the Aojian Villa. This title meant that the five of them were the five strongest swordsmen from the Aojian Villa in this generation of the South Yue State.
Among the five, only Duan Henan was not on the Hidden Dragon List because he was too old. The other four were all famous masters on the Hidden Dragon List, led by Mo Daozhen, who was ranked 62nd on the Hidden Dragon List. He was one of the most outstanding true disciples of the Aojian Villa in recent years, except for the Young Master Three.
First it was Qi Xiu, and now it was Mo Daozhen. Wang Yan seemed to understand something. He glanced at the two people in the pavilion and said, "These two must be 'Thoughtful Sword' Wang Yuantao and 'Dragon Tooth Sword' Chen Chong."
Wang Yan secretly sneered in his heart. The person behind this was truly thinking highly of him. Hu Yunyang's probing might not have been a deliberate arrangement, but the moment he made his move, he sent four of the Five Superior Swords of the Southern Prideful Swords of the past to find him. Using strength to attack the weak, and with the momentum of thunder, his methods could be said to be ruthless. If it were not for the great improvement in his martial arts, he would not even be able to ascend the Moon Reflecting Peak.
"Brother Wang, you have good eyes. This time, the two of us did not fight against you willingly. I hope that you will show some mercy later."
The one who spoke was a middle-aged man with a mustache on the left side of the pavilion. He was' Thoughtful Sword 'Wang Yuantao. He was very arrogant, and his words sounded like he was begging for mercy. However, Wang Yan did not fall for it. He only said lightly, "Swords have no eyes, fists and kicks have no mercy. You are all people on the Hidden Dragon List. Since you want to cut off my path, then you should be prepared for your Dao heart to be damaged, and your cultivation to fall back. If you don't even understand this, then I, Wang Yan, don't know what kind of sword you have trained?"
Wang Yan's words were extremely sharp. Wang Yuantao's face immediately turned red. 'Dragon Tooth Sword' Chen Chong immediately shouted, "Wang Yan, don't be so arrogant. Do you really think that we are afraid of you?"
At the same time Chen Chong finished speaking, Mo Daozhen grasped his sword and shouted, "Brother Wang, Brother Chen, why are you still talking so much with this arrogant disciple? Since he doesn't take us seriously, then we'll join forces today and teach this junior a good lesson!"
"As you say, Brother Mo."
The two in the pavilion did not waste any more time. They all took a step forward and flew out of the pavilion, unsheathing their swords at the same time.
In the blink of an eye, Mo Daozhen, Chen Chong, and Wang Yuantao formed a triangular formation, forming the 'Heavenly Star Returning Sword Formation' that True Disciples trained in. This sword formation was balanced in attack and defense, and what was even more amazing was that it could change according to the number of people forming the formation. It could be said to be extremely mysterious. Although there were only three people forming the formation, all three of them were people on the Hidden Dragon List, so its power was naturally not to be underestimated. Even if it was someone in the top twenty of the Hidden Dragon List, they would have to deal with it carefully.
"Wang Yan, although you are rude, we do not want to bicker with you. Draw your swords. Otherwise, once the sword formation moves, you won't even have the chance to draw your swords."
Wang Yuantao looked like he was trying to be polite before resorting to force, but Wang Yan smiled coldly and said, "Hypocrite."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Yan took a step forward. With this step, an extremely light 'pop' sound rang out, like the sound of water rippling. At the same time this strange sound rang out, Mo Daozhen and the others saw Wang Yan's figure instantly leave over a hundred afterimages. These hundred afterimages each had their own image, and they spread out in all directions. It was impossible to distinguish which one was real and which one was fake.
Seeing this, shock appeared in Wang Yuantao and Chen Chong's eyes. Fortunately, Mo Daozhen knew what was going on, and he shouted, "Qi activity!"
Wang Yuantao and Chen Chong were also people who were used to fighting, and they didn't react in that short moment of shock. With Mo Daozhen's reminder, the two's eyes focused, and as they raised their Qi, streams of light faintly flashed between their brows. They had used a Qi detection technique that all Clasping Yuan Realm cultivators knew.
"There's no Qi activity!"
Although the three of them had used this technique, they didn't notice the existence of Wang Yan's Qi activity at all. If they closed their eyes, the three of them would probably think that Wang Yan had vanished into thin air, and when they sensed it like this, the three of them couldn't help but turn pale with shock. It should be known that Qi activity was the foundation of a martial artist, the source of inner strength. To Clasping Yuan Realm cultivators, a martial artist's Qi activity was like a flickering flame. Although there were differences between them, they definitely existed. But now, the three of them couldn't sense Wang Yan's Qi activity at all, so how could they not be shocked?
This was because Wang Yan had used the Living Dead technique. After more than half a year of cultivation, coupled with the fact that his inner strength had surpassed three hundred sixty years, he could completely replace breathing with inner strength, and could completely isolate himself from the detection of his Qi activity for a short period of time. Although this state couldn't be maintained for long, it was still possible for an hour.
"Location detection by sound!"
In a moment of urgency, Mo Daozhen shouted out explosively once more, and then the ears of the three of them twitched simultaneously. However, it was still in vain. How could Wang Yan who'd intentionally entered the Living Dead state and utilized such a movement technique allow others to detect his existence so easily?
Location detection by sound was useless, and Qi activity couldn't be detected as well. At this moment, even Mo Daozhen panicked. He saw over a hundred silhouettes of Wang Yan moving around him, and every single silhouette had its own image. Some were sneering with their hands behind their backs, some were about to make a move, and there were even some that were concealed within the layers of silhouettes and gave off an extremely dangerous feeling. It was utterly impossible to discern where Wang Yan's real body was. Such a movement technique had truly utilized the Dao of Illusion to an unimaginable level.
"Wang Yan, come out and fight me fair and square if you have the ability."
Mo Daozhen had never been so aggrieved. In the past, he'd roamed the world with his sword in hand, and even though he'd suffered defeat before, he'd never been unable to detect his opponent's Qi activity, not to mention that his current opponent was a realm lower than him. Such a situation caused him to be extremely furious, and he instantly roared loudly.
