'Why are you forcing me?' Master Yuling smiled faintly, but gave a different answer. "Seven Stars Sword Array!"
Bao Lian and the others quickly moved aside, each taking a different position. At the same time, another forty-two people jumped in from both sides.
Earlier, it was a small Seven Stars Sword Array formed by seven people. This time, it was a Seven Stars Sword Array formed by forty-nine people. Forty-nine Red Lotus cultivators stood ready with their swords, like the stars in the night sky.
Miao Yi quickly turned around with his swords pointed at the ground, then asked, "Sect Master, what's the meaning of this?"
Master Yuling smiled. "I don't mean any harm. It's just that you haven't used your full strength to spar with them. Even I feel that you're underestimating our sect, so I asked them to pressure you a little. I mean no harm! Disciples in charge of the formation, do not harm the Master! "
Miao Yi's lips twitched. 'What kind of logic is this?!'
"Yes!" The disciples in charge of the formation responded. Forty-nine people quickly circled around Miao Yi. Some of them rose into the air, trapping Miao Yi within like a net.
"Kill!" The disciples in charge of the formation suddenly shouted in unison. Forty-nine people instantly moved.
In an instant, shadows of people flew around, swords flashing. Before their attacks even reached Miao Yi, the intense killing intent was already suffocating.
Clanging sounds echoed throughout the valley. The rhythmic explosions did not stop, and in an instant, seven dragons of sword energy appeared. Every seven people moved in a circular pattern, forming a sword energy dragon. The seven dragons surrounded Miao Yi and attacked him relentlessly. It was as if seven dragons were circling around him.
'No confusion!' 'No confusion!'
Miao Yi, who was in the middle, spun around at high speed. The swords in his hands danced in a dazzling display, pushing his reflexes to the limit. In that instant, it was as though he had grown thousands of arms, or as though thousands of faint silhouettes had been shaken by the intense attacks. It was a magnificent sight.
'He blocked it! He actually blocked it! ' The thousand Vitality Sect disciples watching were in an uproar.
The three True Masters of the Vitality Sect exchanged glances as well. They realized that Miao Yi had closed his eyes and sealed his vision. Yet, he could still see the intense, high-tempo attacks.
This sword array was prepared to deal with a higher cultivation with a lower cultivation. Once the transcendence energy was used to complement the sword array's attacks, these Red Lotus cultivators could easily kill a Purple Lotus cultivator. Excluding the element of magical power attacks. In other words, even the average Purple Lotus cultivator would find it difficult to defend against the rhythm of this sword formation's attacks.
But Miao Yi actually blocked it! Furthermore, he had blocked it with his eyes closed! This reaction speed shocked the three Perfected Masters.
Trapped in the formation, Miao Yi's forehead was dripping with beads of sweat. In the blink of an eye, he was drenched in sweat. It wasn't that he couldn't keep up with his speed. For him. No matter how many people there were on the other side, it was impossible for them to squeeze together and attack. There was a limit to the space for a siege. Only a portion of the forty-nine people could attack at the same time. It was just that the rhythm was very fast.
What was truly unbearable to him was the immense pressure produced after the sword formation was activated. The pressure from the array quickly made one feel as if they had sunk into a quagmire. The quagmire seemed to be hiding thousands of needles, as if it could grind them to pieces.
Miao Yi, who was caught in the middle of the attack, was clear that the other party had yet to unleash any transcendence energy attacks. Otherwise, with the increased power, he would have been instantly torn to shreds. Miao Yi had no way of determining how powerful it would be in the end. He only had one conclusion: what a powerful sword formation!
This was the same as when he was practicing his spear in the deep sea. He had already developed a resistance similar to that of a fish in the sea. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to last this long.
After a while, Miao Yi's speed gradually slowed down. Both his hands were numb from the impact.
Finally, with two clangs, the swords in Miao Yi's hands were sent flying. His entire body was covered in slashing sounds.
The forty-nine people suddenly scattered and landed on the ground. They pointed their swords at him and stopped attacking!
Miao Yi slowly opened his eyes. He lowered his head and looked at his body. His clothes had already been slashed by the swords. He didn't have to count. He was well aware that the movements of the people around him couldn't escape his senses. Each of the forty-nine people had left a cut on his clothes. There were exactly forty-nine cuts on his clothes.
They were truly being merciful. Otherwise, if each of them had attacked a little deeper, he would have been dismembered.
His clothes were mostly drenched in sweat. Miao Yi slowly exhaled and nodded in praise, "What a powerful sword formation. I've lost!"
To him, he had lost. Little did he know that to the people of the Vitality Sect, his defeat was an honorable one. With the strength of a single person, and a Red Lotus cultivator at that, he was actually able to withstand the Seven Stars Sword Formation for so long. How impressive.
Master Yuling laughed, "I can tell that you're not skilled with swords. Why don't you use the weapon you're most skilled with?"
Miao Yi replied, "I'm afraid I might hurt someone!"
He wasn't boasting. His spear arts were good at offense and not defense. Even if he were to defend, he would use offense as defense. It was easier to control when fighting one on one or when there were only a few people. However, against many people, it was like a ferocious tiger coming out of its cage. His spear was like a dragon. It was extremely domineering. If he held back, it would be difficult for him to unleash his full potential.
The three Enlightened Masters exchanged glances. Master Yuling nodded and said, "It's inevitable to get hurt in a spar. If you get hurt, you can only blame yourself for not being skilled enough. Why don't you give it a try?"
Miao Yi shook his head and said, "Sect Master, I think it's better if we don't try. I can still control myself if there are only a few people. But if there are too many people, I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself."
His spear arts were too domineering. Once he unleashed his full strength, it would be very difficult to control. He still hadn't reached the point where he could control his spear as he pleased. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to kill ten people with a single strike. If he used his full strength, he wouldn't even be able to control his strength.
'What do you mean by' if there are too few people, I won't be able to win '?' Bao Lian felt uncomfortable when she heard this. She suddenly dashed forward and slashed down with her sword. "Let me exchange a few moves with you first!"
Suddenly, a dragon's roar resounded through the air. Miao Yi, with the Qilin Spear in hand, abruptly thrust his spear forward. A cold glint flashed through the air.
The crowd instantly fell silent. Miao Yi stood there quietly with his spear in one hand. The sharp triangular tip of the spear, tinged with a whitish sheen, was pressed against the center of Bao Lian's brows. It didn't budge at all. It was only a grain of rice away from penetrating her skull.
A strong gust of wind blew against Bao Lian's face, causing a few strands of her hair to flutter backwards.
Bao Lian stared at the sharp tip of the spear in front of her eyes. She could even hear the faint sound of the spear's wingspan reverberating through the air. She was so frightened that she didn't dare to move. She swung the sword in her hand, intending to block the incoming spear. However, when she was still half an arm's length away, the spear tip was already at her forehead. If it had been a direct confrontation, she would have been dead by now. She probably wouldn't even be able to find her head.
Miao Yi also wanted to teach her a lesson. If it weren't for this woman's provocation, things wouldn't have turned out this way. She used her grandfather as the Sect Master to bully others and teach them a lesson.
Countless Vitality Sect disciples were dumbfounded by the scene unfolding before them. Bao Lian couldn't even withstand a single move from her opponent. Even then, Miao Yi was able to subdue her in one move. This …
Master Yuling shook her head as she watched. 'You knew that Miao Yi was fast, yet you still dared to charge in recklessly. Now you know how strong he is, don't you?'
"Bao Lian! Stand down! "Daoist Master Deming yelled at his daughter.
Clang! Embarrassed in front of everyone, Bao Lian bit her lip and took a step back. Suddenly, she swung her sword to deflect Miao Yi's spear. Her figure flashed, and she swung her sword again to attack.
This time, she attacked with all her might. She wanted to use her Red Lotus Ninth Grade cultivation to suppress Miao Yi's Red Lotus Seventh Grade cultivation.
The ground exploded, and a cloud of dust rose into the air. The cultivators who had set up the formation quickly retreated.
The sound of a dragon's roar reverberated through the cloud of dust. Bao Lian quickly retreated from the cloud of dust. Miao Yi chased after her. The Inversed-Scales Spear in Miao Yi's hand flickered with a cold glint. The spear moved like a dragon, flashing with light. Bao Lian was forced to retreat in a fluster. She couldn't defend herself at all.
The Inversed-Scales Spear suddenly retracted and rested in Miao Yi's hand. A dozen pieces of clothing slowly fell to the ground like butterflies.
Bao Lian's gray Daoist robe was punctured with a dozen holes. Miao Yi had truly stopped there, revealing the white undergarments underneath.
Miao Yi stopped. Bao Lian stood rooted to the ground, dumbfounded. She lowered her head to look at her body.
Anyone could tell that if Miao Yi hadn't been merciful, there would have been a dozen holes in her body by now.
"Have any of you seen a spear art like this before?" Master Yuling asked his Junior Brothers.
The two of them shook their heads. Master Yuling replied, "What a domineering spear art. It's all offense and no defense. I've never seen a spear art like this before."
"Bao Lian, stand down. Someone else will take over the formation!" Master Yuling said.
Bao Lian lowered her head and silently left the scene. She didn't say anything else. Reality had proven that she was no match for Miao Yi.
Another person entered the Seven Stars Sword Formation, and the sword formation was once again in place.
The Qilin Spear's tip was lifted off the ground. Miao Yi slowly gripped the spear shaft with both hands and closed his eyes.
"Kill!" All forty-nine cultivators roared in unison. Their swords flashed once more.
Almost in an instant, the Qilin Spear erupted with a ferocious blaze that engulfed Miao Yi and the surrounding cultivators. Everyone was shocked.
However, the forty-nine cultivators weren't afraid at all. They continued to attack with their arts, and the seven sword dragons forcefully suppressed the raging flames. The flames were compressed back into a fireball, which was then pushed back onto Miao Yi's body.
Miao Yi immediately felt the terrifying might of the forty-nine cultivators working together to attack. It wasn't just the combined transcendence energy of all forty-nine cultivators, but the power of the formation as well.
The fireball that was pushed back suddenly shot out countless fire swords like a hedgehog, shooting out in all directions from the dust that was blown up.
The forty-nine cultivators were only concerned with maintaining the stability of the sword formation. They weren't bothered by Miao Yi's interference at all. They only focused on destroying the flaming swords that were coming for them, completely ignoring the other flaming swords that were shooting out in all directions.
On the other hand, Master Yuling, who was standing at the top of the mountain, suddenly made his move. He grabbed at the air with his fingers, and a vast amount of transcendence energy enveloped the surrounding area, forcefully blocking the flaming swords. Otherwise, the entire forest would have been turned into a sea of fire.
Miao Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had already stopped, and a dozen or so swords were pressed against his body. They could kill him in the blink of an eye.
'I've lost!' The power of this sword formation was too terrifying. The immense pressure from the formation was almost immobilizing Miao Yi. It wasn't something he could withstand with his current cultivation. He reckoned that he could even hold his own against a Purple Lotus cultivator.
