Chu Mu's strength was beyond the expectations of the Scarlet Cloth Association's leader. Seeing that the eight Dacheng Blood Regalia Legion couldn't do anything to Chu Mu, he hastily shouted and ordered them to set up the formation.
The eight Regalia Legion Guards immediately held their swords in front of their chests. Their footsteps quickly moved in a circle, faster and faster. After three breaths of time, they had turned into eight bloody lights, almost as if they were one. If one looked down from above, it would look like a rapidly rotating blood red circle had surrounded Chu Mu.
Chu Mu discovered that the auras of the eight Regalia Legion Guards had merged into one. They were indistinguishable from each other, as if they were coming from the same person.
The Regalia Legion Guards practiced the same Sword Qi Arts and sword arts, causing their sword auras to be almost identical. But since they were all different cultivators, there would still be subtle differences. Even if there weren't any differences, they could still be distinguished by their relationship with each other.
Now, once the formation was set up, the eight auras of the same origin had merged together, becoming one and indistinguishable.
Although the eight Regalia Legion Guards had yet to attack, Chu Mu could already feel a trace of danger permeating the air, enveloping his entire body. It was as if every part of his body could receive a fatal blow. This feeling was very strange and uncomfortable.
Chu Mu narrowed his eyes, his pupils slightly contracting. A cold light flashed through his eyes. Even at Perfect Sword Vision, he could only see eight blurry blood red figures moving at high speed.
This shouldn't be happening.
With Chu Mu's Perfect Sword Vision, he should be able to clearly see his opponents no matter how fast they moved. But now, he could only see blurry figures. This wasn't because of speed, but because of something else.
Looking carefully, Chu Mu finally discovered that there were traces of blood-red cloud-like aura surrounding the eight blood-red figures. He couldn't be sure, but Chu Mu felt that it was because of the aura that his Perfect Vision Sword was greatly weakened.
"Guild Master, once the sword array is activated, Chu Mu is dead for sure," Fu Tiesheng said to the Red Shirt Guild Master with a smile as he watched the sword array.
The Red Shirt Guild Master did not reply. Instead, he smiled and nodded. He was very confident in the Eight Directional Cloud Rain Sword Formation.
The reason why the Red Coat Association was able to survive the crisis after crisis was closely related to the Eight-sided Cloudrain Sword Formation. It could be said that without the Eight-sided Cloudrain Sword Formation, the Red Coat Association's overall strength would drop by at least 30% or more.
Speaking of which, the Red Coat Association was very lucky to have obtained the Eight Directional Cloud Rain Sword Array. At least in the Eastern Sword Domain, sword arrays were very rare, and most of them were low-level sword arrays.
For example, the Eight Directional Cloud Rain Sword Array belonged to the lowest grade of sword arrays — Yellow Grade Sword Array.
Even if it was the lowest grade sword array, once it was mastered, it could unleash a terrifying power. It could easily kill a strong enemy who was above a grade.
No matter if it was Fu Tiesheng or the Red Shirt Guild Master, or anyone else, they all agreed that once the Eight-sided Cloudrain Sword Array was activated, Chu Mu would die for sure, even if his sword Qi had reached the peak of the Qi Hai realm.
They sat calmly on the chairs with a sinister smile in their eyes. It was as if they could see a corpse full of holes after the sword array was dispersed.
Within the sword array, Chu Mu held his breath. He knew very little about sword arrays, and this was the first time he was facing one. He could not be careless.
Suddenly, Chu Mu felt his vision blur. From the blood red figure moving at high speed, eight blood red cold lights shot through the air. The speed was so fast that it was hard to defend against.
Chu Mu's reaction was even faster. He shook the Profound Star Sword and it split into eight, turning into eight cold stars that flew into the sky.
The eight cold stars shattered the eight blood red cold lights. The blood red cold lights exploded and turned into countless blood red lights. They shot towards Chu Mu like rain, covering every inch of his body.
The protective sword Qi was strengthened, and the Feathery Pattern Armor was activated. Chu Mu used the Flying Goose Phantom Steps to move at high speed within a small area. He was restricted by the Eight-sided Cloudrain Sword Array and could not leave. He could only move within a small area, so he had no choice but to use the Flying Goose Phantom Steps to its limit.
He could move his Profound Star Sword and shatter one blood red light after another. Even so, there were still too many blood red lights. Chu Mu could only shatter half of them and dodge some of them. About a quarter of the blood red lights hit Chu Mu.
The strengthened protective sword Qi was torn apart, and the Feathery Pattern Armor was also shattered. The last layer of invisible protective sword Qi was also penetrated by the blood red lights.
The power of the blood red lights was greatly weakened. They pierced through Chu Mu's moon white robe, creating needle-sized holes. A part of them hit the Feathery Pattern Armor and shattered it. The other part shot into Chu Mu's body.
Chu Mu only felt waves of pain coming from many parts of his body. It was as if he had been pierced by dozens of needles. His whole body twitched slightly.
These blood red lights not only had needle-like sharpness, but also contained traces of strange power. They were tricky and difficult to deal with. They desperately tried to drill into his body to cause damage.
However, Chu Mu had already mastered the muscle chapter of the Sky Wasteland Sword Body. His powerful muscle power erupted and in an instant, the blood red lights that were about to pierce his skin and cause damage were all shattered.
The effects of cultivating the Sky Wasteland Sword Body also manifested. The dozens of needle-sized wounds on his skin quickly healed. In less than ten breaths of time, it was back to normal, as if he had never been injured.
During this time, the Blood Regalia Legion of the Eight Directional Cloud Rain Sword Formation launched another attack. The attack power was even stronger than the first time.
The blood red lights were countless. The blood red aura diffused and shrouded the surroundings. It affected Chu Mu's senses and affected his judgment. Every blood red light was more condensed than before, and its power was also more powerful.
Chu Mu brandished his sword to block. He also used the Flying Swan Illusory Steps to perform a small area high frequency shift. The protective sword Qi appeared again and strengthened. The Feathery Pattern Armor's protective shield was activated again. His essence, energy, and spirit were raised to the extreme. With the experience of the first attack, Chu Mu was able to avoid and shatter the majority of the blood red lights. The blood red aura was unable to cause any obvious disturbance to him.
There were still dozens of blood red lights that hit Chu Mu's body. They once again pierced through the moon white robe and hit his skin. Once again, they caused injuries. The blood red lights that wanted to penetrate into his flesh were shattered by the power of his muscles. His skin quickly recovered.
The third wave of attack came again. It was still the same blood red aura and blood red lights, but the blood red lights were more condensed and their power increased.
Using his sword arts and the Flying Swan Illusory Steps to block and dodge, Chu Mu once again withstood the third wave of attack. He also tried to send out a few sword Qi, but the result was that they disappeared without a trace.
At this point, Chu Mu finally understood the profundity of the Eight Directional Cloud Rain Sword Formation. It was wave after wave of attacks. Moreover, each wave of attacks would be stronger than the previous wave. The interval between the next wave of attacks and the previous wave of attacks was very short at the beginning, but as the number of waves increased, the interval would increase with the increase in power.
Once the Eight Directional Cloud Rain Sword Formation was activated, the first wave of attack was eight blood red cold lights. If it did not work, then it would turn into countless blood red lights. This level of attack was enough to kill a lot of Dacheng Sword Warriors of the Qi Hai Realm, and even threaten a Peak Qi Hai Sword Warrior.
Once the blood red lights pierced into the skin, if one did not have any special defense, then one's body would be damaged to a certain extent, causing one's overall power to decrease.
The second wave of blood red lights was a bit more powerful than the first wave. It was not a lot, but with the interference of the blood red aura, the subsequent waves of blood red lights would become more powerful, and the interference of the blood red aura would become more and more serious.
Think about it, if one did not have any special defense, after the blood red lights entered one's body, it would cause damage. Even if the damage from one blood red light was not obvious, dozens or hundreds of them would still be very scary. After accumulating for so many times, even if the interval between each wave of attack was longer, the Sword Warrior who was attacked would need more time to recover, and the next wave of attack would be even more powerful.
Plus, his attacks would be weakened by the strange blood red aura, and would not be able to cause any effective damage to the person who set up the sword formation. Soon, he would die under this sword formation.
Because it was his first time encountering a sword formation, Chu Mu tried to attack a few times, but to no avail. He then focused on using his sword arts and the Flying Swan Illusory Steps to dodge the attacks. Not only could he train his sword arts and the Flying Swan Illusory Steps, he could also see the secrets of this sword formation.
"This Chu Mu is really surprising. He can actually hold on until now and still not die." The Red Clothed Association Leader and the others were surprised.
They all knew the power of the Eight Directional Cloud Rain Sword Formation, and they had all tried it themselves. Even with the Red Clothed Association Leader's powerful strength and all kinds of skills, he could only hold on until the sixth wave of attacks. But now, Chu Mu was able to hold on until the fifth wave. Although they did not know how serious his injuries were, the fact that he was able to hold on until now was enough to prove his strength.
His sword Qi was only at the Low Qi Hai Realm. If his sword Qi could reach the Peak of the Qi Hai Realm, then he would be even more powerful than the Red Clothed Association Leader.
After defending against the sixth wave of blood colored fine rays, Chu Mu activated his muscle strength and shattered the invading blood colored fine rays. This time, he only felt waves of pain from the places he was hit by the blood colored fine rays, and the recovery of his skin was even slower than before.
"It's about time. I have completely understood the secrets of this sword formation, and my Flying Swan Illusory Steps has also improved a little." Chu Mu thought to himself and started to prepare to break the sword formation.
He knew that the blood red aura of this sword formation could not only disturb the swordsman, it could also quickly weaken the attacks. Unless the power of the attack was strong enough to exceed the limit of what the sword formation could withstand.
The seventh wave of blood-colored fine beams shot over from all directions. Chu Mu raised his Profound Star Sword and abruptly chopped down.
Stone Shaking Wave Sword, full power!
An ear-piercing buzzing sound was heard. The Red Clothed Association Leader and the others who were outside of the sword formation felt their scalps go numb and their bodies tremble. They felt very uneasy.
The Profound Star Sword slashed down, and a cracking sound was heard like glass breaking. The thread-like blood red aura was immediately shattered by the sword before it could do anything. The air vibrated at a high speed, and the surrounding blood red light was shattered in an instant.
With one slash, the dark gold color was like a broken moon in the sky. It cut open the blood red light circle, and eight dark red figures flew out as if they had been hit by a mammoth.
