The Sky Splitter in Xiao Baiyu's hand was not very fast. In an instant, it was only two stabs in different directions. However, the total of eight stabs carried a destructive force that could tear apart everything in its path.
But why was it aimed in four directions? There were only six people on the field, so how could there be eight stabs?
Just as everyone, including Lu Ping, was confused, only Wang Xuanqing of the Purple Sun Palace, Laozu's expression changed.
As the first generation pure Yang of the Purple Sun Palace, he had also mastered the Full Moon Sword Technique of the Six Paths of Opening the Heavens. Naturally, Wang Xuanqing knew how to operate this Heaven-Splitting Sword Formation. That seemingly inexplicable and completely unnecessary stabs by Xiao Baiyu had, in fact, hit a crucial point in the operation of this sword formation.
Indeed, the remaining stabs of sword light that were aimed at the other six people were blocked by the combined efforts of the six people. Among them, Yan Nanfei and Fan Mingjie had the easiest time blocking the attacks. The Sky Splitter Sword Qi did not even get within thirty feet of them before it was destroyed.
Of the two stabs of Sky Splitter Sword Qi that were aimed at Xie Tianyang and Tian Boliang, one of them was easily destroyed by Xie Tianyang. However, Tian Boliang was slightly weaker. If not for Xie Tianyang's help, this sword qi might have even pierced through his protective powers. However, in the end, it was still a daunting experience.
As for Su Jin and Guo Luanxing, they were almost flustered when they were blocking the two stabs of Sky Splitter Sword Qi that were aimed at them.
After all, Su Jin had just broken through to the late Dharma stage not long ago. The aura around his body had not stabilized yet. After breaking through to the late Dharma stage, all kinds of remarkable techniques would have different degrees of changes. At this time, Su Jin clearly could not adapt to this kind of increase very well. As a result, his cooperation with Guo Luanxing was a little out of practice.
Fortunately, the two of them were not ordinary people after all. After a few panicked attacks, they were able to completely destroy the Sky Splitter Sword Qi before it pierced through their protective powers.
However, this chaotic battle also caused the True Essence within their bodies to be unable to be replenished for a time. Helpless, the two of them could only turn the grand formation and attempt to let the other four people successively support them so that the two of them could win a breather.
The six of them had been nurtured by the Purple Sun Palace for a long time, so they naturally had an unusual tacit understanding of this sword formation. Su Jin and Guo Luanxing's predicament was quickly discovered by the other four. As the formation changed, the four of them stepped forward while Su Jin and Guo Luanxing quickly retreated.
However, just as the two sides changed their formation, Xiao Baiyu's mouth twitched slightly. The sword qi that he had sent out in the fourth direction just so happened to appear in the direction where Su Jin and Guo Luanxing were retreating.
Su Jin and Guo Luanxing were suddenly startled. They could only try their best to resist the sword qi that suddenly appeared in the direction where they were retreating. However, the two of them paused, causing the two of them to be separated from the four people in front of them, causing an error to appear in the operation of the entire sword formation.
Xiao Baiyu let out a long roar and casually waved the Sky Splitter in his hand. Yan Nanfei and Fan Mingjie, who had lost the support of the entire sword formation, could only face Xiao Baiyu's frontal attack alone. Even though the two of them had joined hands to perform a joint secret technique, they were still forcibly pushed back thirty feet by Xiao Baiyu's sword.
Xie Tianyang and Tian Boliang, who were standing to the side, saw that the situation was far from good. They had no time to help Su Jin and Guo Luanxing, who had been battered by the sword qi that Xiao Baiyu had laid out beforehand. They hastily rushed forward in an attempt to help Yan Nanfei and Fan Mingjie resist Xiao Baiyu's powerful attack.
However, at this moment, the momentum of Xiao Baiyu's sword suddenly changed. He suddenly gave up on attacking Yan Nanfei and Fan Mingjie and turned around to pounce on Su Jin and Guo Luanxing.
Making a feint in the east and attacking in the west, Su Jin and Guo Luanxing were originally the weakest combination among the six people. Although Xiao Baiyu was strong, Xiao Baiyu still did not let his guard down even though the sword formation was already showing signs of disarray. Instead, he grabbed onto the weak points of the sword formation and wanted to destroy the entire sword formation in one go.
However, at this moment, the Pure Yang Laozu and Wang Xuanqing of the Purple Sun Palace, who were previously a little nervous, suddenly let out a sigh of relief.
Chi Lianying could not help but exclaim when he saw the sudden change in the battlefield, "Ah, this Xiao Baiyu is so powerful. He actually caused the sword formation of the Purple Sun Palace to become disorderly so easily."
However, Lu Ping's expression was a little solemn as he said in a deep voice, "It seems that Xiao Baiyu is very familiar with this sword formation. However, I'm afraid it won't be that easy to destroy the Heaven-Splitting Sword Formation."
Chi Lianying looked at the two sides that were fighting in the battlefield with a trace of surprise. Xiao Baiyu's sudden change in attack had once again caused the entire sword formation to change. It seemed that Xiao Baiyu had already taken the initiative and the entire Heaven-Splitting Sword Formation was being manipulated by him.
Chi Lianying was puzzled. "Since Xiao Baiyu is very familiar with the sword formation of the Purple Sun Palace, why is it so difficult to destroy this sword formation?"
Lu Ping smiled and said, "Skyrend and the Purple Sun Palace are of the same origin. Since Xiao Baiyu is familiar with the Heaven-Splitting Sword Formation, how could the Purple Sun Palace not be aware of it?"
Chi Lianying said in surprise, "You're saying that he's beating us at our own game?"
As soon as Chi Lianying finished speaking, the battlefield changed again. The sword formation, which had been thrown into chaos by Xiao Baiyu's sudden attack, suddenly took a step to the left in the face of Xiao Baiyu's powerful attack.
Many of the cultivators watching the battle in the field exclaimed in annoyance, "Oh, why did he get out of the way? Didn't he open the formation to let Xiao Baiyu out?"
"What else can they do? If they take Xiao Baiyu's attack head-on, I'm afraid that even if Su Jin and Guo Luanxing work together, they will be heavily injured."
"But at least they can trap Xiao Baiyu in the sword formation. At least they have a chance to defeat him. If they let Xiao Baiyu out, Xiao Baiyu will at least be undefeatable in this battle!"
"It's human nature. No one can remain fearless in the face of death …"
Chi Lianying only saw a trace of mockery in Lu Ping's eyes. She then spat out two words, "Idiot!"
Chi Lianying blushed slightly. In fact, she also thought that Su Jin and Guo Luanxing had dodged because they couldn't block Xiao Baiyu's attack.
However, the situation changed in an instant. Just as Su Jin and Guo Luanxing dodged to the left, a flaw appeared in the formation. Unexpectedly, Xiao Baiyu ignored this opportunity and did not choose to break through the sword formation from there!
"What's going on?"
"This is a great opportunity. What's wrong with Xiao Baiyu?"
"Could it be that even the Sky Splitting Sword Saint would make a mistake? Even such an obvious flaw …"
At this point, he suddenly paused, and then there was a strange silence.
The same thought appeared in everyone's mind: Is this really Xiao Baiyu's mistake? Did the Sky Splitting Sword Saint really not see this flaw?
Or perhaps, it was simply their eyes that were blind!
Although the crowd was unwilling to admit it, they were actually more inclined to the last thought!
Finally, many of the cultivators from the sects, including the heirs of the sacred grounds, had no choice but to let go of their reservations and ask the seniors from the sects beside them.
Although Chi Lianying could not hear what the seniors were saying, he could see that many of Laozu's expressions were extremely solemn. It was as if he was lecturing them while explaining to them. Many of the heirs also blushed and lowered their eyelids in silence.
Most of this was happening in the sects that had Pure Yang Patriarchs. As for the other sects that only had great cultivators leading their disciples to spectate the battle, only a very small number of veteran great cultivators with profound cultivation bases seemed to have noticed something. Many of the other great cultivators seemed to be a little embarrassed in the face of the inquiries from the juniors of their sects, and they seemed to have said something to evade the question. The disciples of their sects were also a little disappointed.
Chi Lianying twisted the soft flesh on Lu Ping's waist and said angrily, "Tell me, what happened just now?"
Feeling the pain, Lu Ping hurriedly begged for mercy and explained, "Just now, Xiao Baiyu's attack seemed to have caused the entire sword formation to stagnate, and Xiao Baiyu's dodging caused a flaw in the formation. However, what they did not see was that at this moment, Yan Nanfei and Fan Mingjie, as well as Xie Tianyang and Guo Luanxing, who were standing behind Xiao Baiyu, had already made their preparations, coincidentally forming a corner with where Xiao Baiyu and Guo Luanxing had just left."
Chi Lianying exclaimed in surprise, "But the two of them have dodged it. The pincer attack won't work!"
"That's right!"
Lu Ping nodded and said, "The pincer attack won't work, but if Xiao Baiyu were to break out from there, Yan Nanfei, Fan Mingjie, Xie Tianyang, and Tian Boliang wouldn't be able to dodge the joint attack from behind."
Lu Ping continued to explain, "If Xiao Baiyu only wanted to break out of the encirclement and escape, he would have already rushed out from there. However, he didn't want to escape. This is a sword battle under the watchful eyes of everyone. What Xiao Baiyu wants is a fair and honorable victory. If he had rushed out from there, even with his Pure Yang physique, he would inevitably be injured by the joint attack of the four people behind him. At that time, in order to win, he would have to turn back and fight against the sword formation formed by the six people. No matter how you look at it, this exchange is a great loss. In that instant, Xiao Baiyu saw that this was a trap purposely set up by the Six Swords of the Zi Yang Palace, so he purposely stayed in the sword formation."
Just as Lu Ping was explaining to Chi Lianying what had just happened, the spectating cultivators suddenly cried out in surprise. The two sides of the sword battle were once again stirred up!
After Xiao Baiyu gave up the opportunity to break out of the sword formation using his familiarity with the Heaven Splitting Sword Formation, Yan Nanfei and Fan Mingjie's swords were already aimed at Xiao Baiyu's back. At the same time, the two of them moved their feet slightly. The opening that was revealed by Su and Guo's dodging had already been blocked by the two of them.
The moment the two flying swords left their hands, one was like the scorching sun in the sky, flashing with a blazing light, while the other was like the cold moon, flashing with a cold light.
However, it just so happened that the natural phenomenon caused by the two flying swords gave off a strange and harmonious feeling. Only the great power contained within was shocking.
Sword of Sun and Moon, the two of them used the most powerful move of the Heaven Splitting Sword Technique, "Sun and Moon Shine Together"!
At the same time, Xie Tianyang and Tian Boliang took a step forward and attacked Xiao Baiyu from the side, trying to force him back and at the same time remove the threat he posed to Su and Guo. In this way, Xiao Baiyu would once again be surrounded by the six people of the Heaven Splitting Sword Formation.
The two flying swords of Lingbao set off each other. One was masculine like rolling pure Yang Qi, while the other was feminine like a drizzle. The combination of the two swords was the killing move of "Yin Yang Double Swords", called "Yin Yang Double Kill"!
However, how could Xiao Baiyu let them do as they wished so easily? After realizing that the six swords of the Zi Yang Palace were also not setting a trap because of his familiarity with the Heaven Splitting Sword Formation, Xiao Baiyu once again made a choice that exceeded the expectations of the six swords.
He did not dodge the attacks from the two sides from different directions, nor did he forcefully block the attacks and continue to entangle Su and Guo, the weakest link. Instead, he suddenly turned around and rushed towards Xie Tianyang and Tian Boliang.
The Heaven Splitting Sword shone brightly. One sword to destroy all techniques!
The void was suddenly torn open. The surrounding Pure Yang experts and Lu Ping who were watching the battle hurriedly joined forces to maintain the battle space. A faint loud bang could be heard coming from an unknown direction. A strange expression flashed across Lu Ping's face.
In the middle of the Dueling Dimension, the crack in space had instantly engulfed the sword light of the "Twin Swords of Sun and Moon". If Yan Nanfei and Fan Mingjie had not been alert and had hurriedly controlled their Flying Swords to avoid the void of the sword light, it was likely that their Flying Swords would have been engulfed as well.
However, at the moment when Yan Nanfei and Fan Mingjie suffered a setback, the Heaven Splitting Sword Qi in Xiao Baiyu's hand had already flown out once again. Although Xie Tianyang and Tian Boliang's "Yin Yang Dual Swords" were tyrannical, when the two of them erupted in an instant, the entire battle space seemed to be covered by the light from the explosion.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Ping had already spread his divine sense throughout the entire battle space. At this moment, the entire process of the sword battle was clearly displayed in Lu Ping's divine sense.
Xie Tianyang's Blazing Celestial Yang Sword was tyrannical enough. However, Tian Boliang's cultivation was still a notch lower. In the instant when the two swords clashed, Tian Boliang's Lunar Moonlight Sword suddenly ran out of power. Xiao Baiyu forcefully broke through the obstruction of the "Yin Yang Dual Swords" and went straight for Tian Boliang.
What a good Xiao Baiyu. His previous arrangements were not aimed at the weakest link in the battle, Su Jin and Guo Luanxing. Instead, they were aimed at Xie Tianyang and Tian Boliang!
This move had indeed exceeded the expectations of the six swords. Fortunately, the Sky Splitting Sword Formation was not a sword formation for just one or two people. The six of them had a tacit understanding of each other. In the instant that Yan Nanfei and Fan Mingjie's attacks were blocked, the sword formation changed again. Su Jin and Guo Luanxing, who had already recovered from the pressure from Xiao Baiyu's earlier attacks, charged forward once again.
Clearly, the two of them had already realized that the situation was not looking good. If they were unable to block Xiao Baiyu this time, it was highly likely that he would forcefully break through the Sky Splitting Sword Formation. Hence, this attack was the strongest attack of the "Ice and Fire Dual Swords", the "Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire"!
In the battle space, another deafening sound shook the heavens. Among the direct disciples of the various sects who were spectating the battle, there were some who were only mid Dharma adepts. Under this deafening sound, expressions of pain appeared on their faces.
Lu Ping had long been aware of this. In the instant that the techniques of both parties clashed, he had already moved to protect Chi Lianying, who was beside him. However, Chi Lianying could only see a vast expanse of white in front of him.
Although many of the direct disciples of the various sects had temporarily lost their sight and hearing due to the huge change in the battlefield, there were still quite a number of Laozu's from the various sects who had been aware of the changes in the battlefield. At this moment, they heard several cries of surprise, "Pure Yang spirit treasures!"
"Pure Yang sword weapons!"
"This is the Sky Splitting Sword Formation that has been passed down from the Purple Sun Palace to Jiao Daoren!"
The light in the battlefield dissipated. The attack that Xiao Baiyu had used to kill Tian Boliang had been blocked by Xie Tianyang. Even so, the two of them had still been sent flying back several feet by Xiao Baiyu's attack.
Tian Boliang still had a lingering fear in his heart, while Xie Tianyang's face was pale. It was obvious that helping Tian Boliang block Xiao Baiyu's killing blow had been an extremely heavy burden on Xie Tianyang.
However, at this moment, Yan Nanfei and Fan Mingjie had already arrived. The six of them had already formed the Sky Splitting Sword Formation, once again trapping Xiao Baiyu within the sword formation.
Su Jin and Guo Luanxing's combined attack had been casually neutralized by Xiao Baiyu. At this moment, Xiao Baiyu's gaze was fixed on the Blazing Heaven Sun Sword in Xie Tianyang's hand.
"Hehe, the Sky Splitting Sword Formation, a Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure. The three Pure Yang Flying Swords that the Purple Sun Palace had obtained from Jiao Daoren to split open the heavens. I presume that you've already brought them with you. Are you still going to hide them at this time?"
Apart from the Blazing Heaven Sun Sword in Xie Tianyang's hand that was emitting a dense Pure Yang aura, indicating its identity as a Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure, the Frost Silk Sword in Su Jin's hand similarly emitted the aura of a Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure as it flashed with cold light. The Azure Sky Full Moon Sword in Fan Mingjie's hand also released its concealment!
Xiao Baiyu laughed involuntarily and said, "Looks like the Purple Sun Palace has gone through a lot of trouble to make me stay here. They've even used the supreme treasures of the Purple Sun Palace on these juniors. Aren't they afraid that these juniors will meet with an accident and lose these sect-guarding treasures?"
At this moment, not only Xiao Baiyu, but the cultivators from the various sects who were watching the battle outside also had expressions of shock. Even Lu Ping was muttering, "I never expected, I never expected that the Spiritual Treasure that Brother Xie has been holding all this time would actually be one of the three Sky Splitting Pure Yang Swords of the Purple Sun Palace!"
In reality, it was not only Lu Ping and the others who had not expected this. Even Xie Tianyang and the others had not expected that the Spiritual Treasure bestowed by the sect in their hands would actually be the sect-guarding treasures before they found out about the second duel with Xiao Baiyu.
One of the founders of the Purple Sun Palace, Laozu, had been Jiao Daoren's concubine back then. These three Pure Yang Swords were also the Spiritual Treasures that Jiao Daoren had eliminated in the process of splitting open the heavens, so he had given them to his concubine.
In fact, these three Pure Yang Swords should have been three pairs of Pure Yang Spiritual Treasures. However, Jiao Daoren did not have the Sky Splitting Divine Weapons that the other six Sky Splitting Laozu regarded as Spiritual Treasures. It was unknown how many of his flying swords had been destroyed in the process of splitting open the heavens.
These three Pure Yang Swords were the three pairs of Spiritual Treasure Flying Swords used to split open the heavens. After one of them was destroyed, the remaining one was not suitable for him, so Jiao Daoren had casually given it to his concubine and passed down the corresponding Sky Splitting Sword divine power.
Unfortunately, the three sets of Sky Splitting Sword divine powers were used to control two flying swords. However, each of the three Pure Yang Swords was a single sword, so they could not be used to perform the Sky Splitting Sword divine power that Jiao Daoren had passed down.
The founder of the Purple Sun Palace, Laozu, was also a genius. She had forcibly separated the three sets of Sky Splitting Sword divine powers into six separate sets of supreme sword techniques so that she could use each Sky Splitting Sword's power individually.
