On the Rhinoceros Mountain's side, after a few days of argument and discussion, they finally could not accept the condition of only allowing them to stay for three years. Hence, they decided to fight with Qing Chenzi and the other two.
Truth Gourd and the others knew that sneak attacks were useless against the Sword Cultivators. They could not even stop them if they wanted to leave. Hence, they could only defend in their own territory. Hence, they ordered people to activate all the Restrictive Formations in their territory and waited for Qing Chenzi and the other two to attack.
On the altar, Truth Gourd sat in the main seat. Below him were his fellow disciples. Not far away from him sat a Taoist in embroidered robes with a smile on his face. At this moment, he turned slightly to the side and bowed to the Taoist, saying, "Thank you for your help this time, Taoist Lu."
The Taoist in embroidered robes waved his horsetail whisk and returned the bow. He laughed and said, "We are close neighbors. How can we not help when your side is in trouble?"
This Taoist Lu was a Shangzhen who had drifted to this place more than three hundred years ago. The cultivators of Rhinoceros Mountain had always wanted to drive him away, but he was quite capable. On several occasions, he had found an excuse to stay. This time, they allowed him to live here for a long time in exchange for his help.
However, it was obvious that many people were not satisfied with this arrangement. Some even sent a message, "Truth Gourd, this person can't be trusted!"
Truth Gourd replied, "I don't expect much from him. Now that the three Sword Cultivators are so aggressive, I don't know if I can win. Even if this person is useless, it's good that he can make a name for himself here."
Not long after comforting the people, he felt three sharp Qi dynamics coming towards him. He could not help but feel a chill in his heart. He said, "They're coming."
In a flash, three figures shrouded in sword light appeared in front of the formation.
Truth Gourd and the other Taoists all looked solemn.
For thousands of years, they had been fighting against the Sword Immortals as imaginary enemies. They also tried to understand the Sword Cultivator's Divine Sense from the ancient books left by the Sword Immortals. The world chess that Ran Xiushu and Tian Kun saw was not used for fun, but to help calculate the evolution of swordplay.
It could be said that everything in this world, from the Restriction Formations to the Secret Arts and Divine Abilities, were all used against sword cultivators. However, the cultivators of Mount Sharp Moon still couldn't feel at ease because they had never had a chance to verify these things before, so they didn't know how useful they would be.
Qing Chenzi looked down and made up his mind, summoning out a sword light. With just a flash, he reflected all the movements of the formation into it. He made some calculations and said, "This formation has already merged with the roots of heaven and earth. If we attack it head-on, the day the formation is broken will be the day the entire land collapses."
It was impossible for such a formation to be set up in just a few days. At the very least, it would take hundreds or thousands of years of operation to link all the Earth Qi and Spirit Qi together. Therefore, the target of this senior should not have been them, but the seniors who had ascended to this place.
However, if they thought that they would be blocked so easily, they would be underestimating the Shaoqing Sword Technique.
He looked at Xun Huaiying and said, "Junior Brother Xun, I will use my sword light to illuminate the veins of Spiritual Qi. You will be the one to break the formation."
Xun Huaiying nodded. After a while, he felt Qing Chenzi's will and accepted it. After a while, he took a step forward and slashed downwards with his fingers.
Truth Gourd and the others looked up, waiting to see what the three would choose.
Don't you want this land?
Once the formation breaks, the damage would be borne by the land below. By then, no one would be able to get it.
Right at this moment, he suddenly felt a ray of sword light slash down before him, and then he felt the entire grand formation shake before it showed signs of collapse.
Everyone's expression changed. Could it be that these sword cultivators did not care about this land at all?
The gourd sensed for a while and found that something was wrong. The formation was clearly connected to the aura of the land, but at this moment, it was only the formation itself that was damaged. If he hadn't confirmed that there was no problem with the formation, he would suspect that someone had cut off the connection in advance.
Xun Huaiying looked down. It was true that the cultivators of Mount Rhinoceros had linked the spirituality of the earth with the great array, but that was only what they thought. With the information that Qing Chenzi had found out, in his eyes, the array was the array, the spirituality was the spirituality, and the heaven and the earth were the heaven and the earth. The three were never one. No matter how he slashed with his sword, it would only land on the great array, and it would not affect anything else.
Under the slash of his sword, the whole formation began to collapse layer by layer. All the altars and mountains that were used to build the formation dimmed. In just a moment, the originally complete formation was riddled with holes.
Seeing this, Taoist Lu suddenly stood up from his seat and apologized to Truth Gourd. He said, "Taoist friend, I'm sorry that I can't help you against such an opponent. I have to leave first."
Truth Gourd looked at him coldly and said, "Taoist friend, do you think that those sword cultivators will let you go just because you're standing with me?"
Taoist Lu smiled and said, "I will leave now, but I don't think that they will abandon you to chase after me."
Truth Gourd stared at him and said, "Aren't you afraid that we will make you stay?"
Unexpectedly, Taoist Lu did not show the slightest bit of fear. He said confidently, "No, you all know your priorities. You won't abandon the enemy in front of you. Besides, I think you should be afraid that I will help those people and attack from both sides!"
Everyone's expression changed.
Taoist Lu chuckled, waved his horsetail whisk, and swaggered out.
Sure enough, no one went to stop him. They could only watch with gloomy faces as he escaped from the broken formation. Although he could leave, they had nowhere to go.
But no one suggested to leave. Because they all knew that if they had agreed to help those sword cultivators, it would have been fine. But now that they had decided to form a formation to resist, the other party would never let them go.
At this moment, the cultivators of Mount Rhinoceros felt a sudden tremor in their surroundings. Then, light shone in. When they looked up, they found that the huge formation had disappeared.
No one dared to be careless. They hurriedly channeled their energy in an attempt to resist the attack that might come next. But in the next moment, everyone, including Truth Gourd, exploded in the air!
At this moment, the formation that was set up in the innermost area as the last barrier suddenly rose up and wrapped everyone within it. Then, everyone's Dharmakaya reassembled.
When they came back to their senses, they did not know what had happened just now. They turned to the Divine Will to observe and calculate. Only then did they see that a sword had slashed into this place. But what was shocking was that they did not know where the sword had come from.
Gourd Shang Zhen could see Ran Xiushu's body through the aura. He was sure that Ran Xiushu was the one who had attacked with the sword just now. However, he could sense that Ran Xiushu was standing in the same place without moving.
Combined with what he knew from before, he instantly understood that it was because this sword strike was too swift, and it exceeded their senses and even the circulation of the heavens and the earth. So, they were only able to confirm that it had occurred after this sword strike descended.
He said in a low voice, "Everyone, there's no need to guess. This is an Extreme Sword Technique. With my ability, I can't dodge it if I'm unprepared. But as long as everyone is constantly on guard against him, he won't be able to succeed so easily."
This level of sword technique had long since surpassed the will. So, if a cultivator was slightly careless or stopped paying attention to the sword owner, they would be slashed again.
When everyone heard this, their hearts trembled, and they hurriedly paid attention to Ran Xiushu to avoid repeating the same mistake.
However, at this moment, a light flashed in front of them. Another sword ray flashed, and the protective formation around them was destroyed. After that, they looked up and saw three figures floating in the sky.
One of the cultivators could not hold back any longer. He activated his Divine Ability and transformed it into a grey mist that enveloped Ran Xiushu. Because based on the situation Just Now, Ran Xiushu was undoubtedly the greatest threat and should be eliminated first.
As soon as he attacked, everyone followed suit. More than half of the attacks were also aimed at Ran Xiushu.
Ran Xiushu did not dodge or evade the attacks of the crowd. However, when all the Dharma treasures and Dharmic powers reached her, they all disappeared without a trace. It was as if they had been teleported somewhere else.
This was because although it looked like he was there, it was actually just a projection. The real Dharma Body had been traveling with the flying sword and had never stopped.
These attacks were actually following his Qi activity. Because they were always on his path, they did not miss, and they would not appear in front of everyone again. It should be said that they had been led into another gap between the heavens and the earth by the sword qi. As long as he did not stop, he would continue to drift there.
The gourd really knew that when the Extreme Sword Technique was cultivated to a certain level, it could deter the enemy from afar and make them unable to relax for even a moment. Moreover, the person in front of them had almost no flaws. This was the most troublesome and headache-inducing opponent. The person in front of them was undoubtedly such a person. Thus, they used their Divine Will to transmit a message. "Everyone, there is no need to attack this person. Just be careful and eliminate the other two before coming back to deal with this person."
However, before they could choose another opponent, they saw countless sword lights suddenly burst from where Qing Chenzi was standing. For a moment, it was as if countless stars had fallen.
Everyone's expressions changed greatly, and they hurriedly activated their Dharmic Treasures to block the sword light. But when their auras came into contact with the sword light, they noticed that something was wrong. In this world, only they stood there alone, and everyone else beside them had disappeared.
At this moment, Qing Chenzi was using the Wonderful Sword Transformation Technique. Everyone who came into contact with his sword light would be separated from the others. If they wanted to escape, they could only use their Magic Powers to break through, or they could simply see the various mysteries of the sword technique. Those who could do these two things did not need to worry about being separated from their peers.
When the cultivators of Mount Rhinoceros saw this, they all unanimously adopted defensive measures. Not only because of the threat in front of them, but also because they did not forget that Ran Xiushu was watching from the side. If they were the slightest bit careless, the other party might slash at them. Under such circumstances, no one dared to take the initiative to attack. They could only try their best to ensure that they were not injured.
