Naturally, Su Zimo would not crush the jade talisman.
For the sake of this moment, he did not hesitate to cross two major regions and two Grade 4 killing formations. Everything he experienced in between was a hundred times more dangerous than this – there was no way he was going to give up.
Buzz!
Su Zimo waved his sleeves and 18 flying swords flew out from his storage bag. Trembling violently, each of them shone with four bedazzling spirit lights.
A total of 18 supreme-grade flying swords!
The eyes of many cultivators lit up.
Even if they could not get their hands on the perfect spirit weapon in this battle, it would be worth the trip if they could get their hands on a supreme-grade flying sword.
Perfected Lord Ming Ze said in a deep voice, "Although there aren't many cultivators attacking this time round, they are much stronger. Furthermore, the two five meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivators are way too threatening. Su Zimo's Hexagonal Sword Formation won't be able to defend against them and he's going to be injured."
The emperor nodded as well.
Given their cultivation realms, there was naturally no mistake in their judgment.
However, both of them miscalculated something.
The 18 flying swords did not form the Hexagonal Sword Formation, but the Candlelight Sword Formation that Hokkaidōjin brought out from the mysterious ruin!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The 18 flying swords sped through the air, leaving behind streaks of sword qi as the light of the formation pattern shone brightly.
"Candlelight Sword Formation!"
Su Zimo hollered softly and pointed forward.
Immediately after, the 18 flying swords gathered together with their tips pointing outwards, forming a gigantic sword-shaped disk. Like a blazing sun, it released 18 streaks of sword qi that were blinding and sharp!
"Ah!"
The surrounding cultivators narrowed their eyes and exclaimed.
The moment the sword formation was released, everyone felt a sharp pain in their bodies and their five senses were even blurry.
They could not tell if the pain was due to the heat released by the blazing sun or the cutting pain of the sword qi.
The Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the square could not feel it clearly.
However, Perfected Being Jin Dan's expression changed starkly when he saw the Candlelight Sword Formation.
Even through the Five Elements Umbrella, everyone could sense the terror of the Candlelight Sword Formation!
"This sword formation … is so strong!"
The emperor's gaze froze as he secretly gasped.
Gu Xi was stunned as well. Her beautiful eyes stared at the Five Elements Umbrella without blinking. Her upper body leaned forward slightly, revealing her snow-white chest. However, she was completely unaware, as if she wanted to see through the origins of the Candlelight Sword Formation.
As Genying Zhenjun, they could vaguely sense another kind of aura from the sword array.
Boundless, desolate, simple, ancient, distant, faintly discernible.
It was an aura from the ancient times, or even further back!
As the only Sword Formation Master present, Xuan Yi had a different feeling towards the Candlelight Sword Formation.
Through the sword marks left behind by the flying sword, Xuan Yi could tell that the Candlelight Sword Formation released by Su Zimo was a Grade 2 sword formation.
Although they were both Grade 2 sword formations, the Candlelight Sword Formation was much stronger than the Hexagonal Sword Formation!
Come to think of it, even if they did not form a sword formation, the gathering of 18 supreme-grade flying swords was a force that could not be ignored.
Now that he had condensed such a terrifying sword formation, what kind of power would it erupt with?
Clang! Clang!
Two flying swords collided against the Candlelight Sword Formation and let out two crisp sounds.
Immediately after, right in front of everyone, the two flying swords were minced into pieces by the Candlelight Sword Formation and scattered all over the ground!
Psst!
The crowd outside the Five Elements Umbrella was in an uproar.
Those two flying swords were not scrap metal – they were middle-grade flying swords!
The moment the middle-grade flying swords collided against the Candlelight Sword Formation, they were minced and destroyed!
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
The Candlelight Sword Formation danced and circled around Su Zimo, emitting an extremely sharp sword qi. The sword beam shone brightly and sent all the incoming flying swords flying!
The middle-grade flying swords shattered on the spot and were reduced to scrap metal.
Only the superior-grade flying swords were intact. However, they were also sent flying by the power released by the Candlelight Sword Formation, dimming and falling to the ground.
This was the first time Su Zimo released the Candlelight Sword Formation against an enemy and its power was indeed far beyond his imagination!
Little Fatty's mouth was agape and his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
Although the light of the Candlelight Sword Formation dimmed significantly after receiving such an impact, it was still circulating.
The sword hum did not stop and instead became clearer, piercing through metal and rocks!
The circulating sword formation seemed as though it wanted to tear the firmaments and shred Heaven and Earth!
When the cultivator who attacked saw that, he was scared out of his wits and kept quiet out of fear, afraid that Su Zimo would toss the sword-shaped roulette over.
Right at that moment, Su Zimo closed his eyes and his mind calmed down instantly, emptying out everything in his mind.
Time seemed to have frozen around him but Su Zimo's thoughts were racing.
Every single choice he made would affect the final outcome.
It was as the emperor and the others had said – it was impossible to kill Feng Haoyu within the Five Elements Umbrella.
It wasn't that Su Zimo was not strong enough. Instead, it was because Feng Haoyu had an escape jade talisman in his hands and could leave at any moment.
Therefore, there was only a single chance to kill Feng Haoyu!
If he missed, Feng Haoyu was no fool and would definitely crush the jade talisman to escape.
Although the power of the Candlelight Sword Formation was great, it might not be able to kill him in a single strike.
Firstly, Feng Haoyu was at five meridian Foundation Establishment and his eyes were light green. He seemed to have cultivated some sort of secret skill of Blood Crow Palace and might even have other trump cards.
Secondly, Feng Haoyu had cultivated Ethereal Wings and was extremely agile – there was a high chance that he could avoid the sharpness of the Candlelight Sword Formation.
While the Candlelight Sword Formation might not be able to kill Feng Haoyu, it had a high chance of killing the other person!
All of a sudden!
Su Zimo opened his eyes and sped towards Feng Haoyu with Divine Steed Fleeting. However, he pointed his arm at He Jiang of True Fire Sect and hollered softly, "Instant Thunder!"
Snap!
There was a deafening bang.
A bolt of lightning as thick as an adult's arm descended on He Jiang's head. However, the latter was extremely alert and crushed a protection talisman first. Crack!
Crack! Crack!
The power of Instant Thunder collided with the protection talisman and the barrier formed by the talisman shattered.
Clang! Clang!
Before He Jiang could catch his breath, the Candlelight Sword Formation released an extremely sharp sword qi that streaked over and tore through the void, as though it was tearing a gigantic piece of cloth apart!
He Jiang's expression changed and his eyes were filled with endless fear.
It was only at this moment that he came to a realization.
Just Now, Su Zimo had no intention of killing him with that bolt of lightning – he merely wanted to keep him on the spot!
The true killing move was the incoming Candlelight Sword Formation!
The Candlelight Sword Formation was so close that it was already too late for him to dodge.
He Jiang's flying sword was already destroyed by the Candlelight Sword Formation. Thankfully, he still had a superior-grade Weapon Tripod in his hands that could fight.
Whoosh!
He Jiang channeled the spirit energy in his dantian wildly and his five spirit meridians shone with spirit light within his body. Spirit energy surged like a river and the Weapon Tripod shone brightly, expanding instantly and blocking in front of He Jiang.
At the spectator area, many Perfected Jin Dan watched everything unfold with rapt attention.
Sima Zhi and the others from True Fire Sect were nervous and could not control their emotions. In fact, they even stood up involuntarily.
Although they were Perfected Jin Dan, they knew too little about the Candlelight Sword Formation and could not determine the outcome of that head-on clash.
