Zhuo Rusui's complaint echoed in the wind and rain, spreading far away from Tianguang Peak.
Everybody admired him to the extreme, and even Gu Qing was somewhat convinced by him.
Taiping Zhenren said to Jing Jiu with a smile, "Do you also think I've lost?"
Jing Jiu said, "Bu Qiuxiao woke up in advance, but he became a Saint against the wind. Cao Yuan suppressed the Heavenly Well and killed the Young Mysterious Dark Master. As for the Huge Whirlpool … you might not know this, but the passage wasn't formed naturally. It was opened by the giants in ancient times. Later, the giants went to the outside world, leaving only the youngest youth behind. His task was to look after the passage and repair it.
Taiping Zhenren remarked sentimentally, "The world is indeed bigger than I have imagined, and there are more accidents than I have imagined. But you should be aware that Xi Yiyun asked me to come to Aoyama, and I took advantage of the situation to prepare for something else. As long as I can defeat you and obtain the Sword Formation of Aoyama, all the problems will be solved."
One hundred years ago in Zhaoge City, the Sword Formation of Aoyama had helped Jing Jiu kill the replica of the Fairy Lady Bai Ren, and it had also helped Taiping Zhenren escape.
At the time, they hadn't fully recovered their Cultivation states, so they couldn't fully utilize the Sword Formation of Aoyama. But it was different that day.
Moreover, they were in Aoyama.
If Taiping Zhenren obtained the control of the Sword Formation of Aoyama, he could kill everyone present and let the rain of swords fall on any place in the world.
Even if the sea water stopped pouring down, the strong wind stopped blowing, and the green smoke couldn't be regenerated, so what?
To kill all the mortals in the world, what method could be faster and more powerful than the Sword Formation of Aoyama?
Taiping Zhenren had this idea many years ago, but he was suppressed by Jingyang, Liu Ci and Yuan Qijing together. What about today?
The key was still whether he could take the Aoyama Sword Formation away from Jing Jiu.
It was only then that Zhao Layue and the others who were still at Tianguang Peak realized that something was wrong with Jing Jiu.
The rain fell on the ground, making pitter-patter sounds, wetting his white clothes.
It was unknown when Jing Jiu's feet had left the ground, but he was now standing on a puddle of water. He seemed especially … light.
It was like a trail of smoke.
Back in the Fiend Prison, he had done the same thing when he had mastered the Underworld Fairy Sword.
Back when he was summoned by Liu Ci in the small temple on the mountain and was about to go to the West Ocean ten thousand miles away to kill Nan Qü, he had experienced the same thing.
The strong wind ruffled his white robe, which had been soaked by the rain. His body also fluttered slightly, as if he was becoming incorporeal.
Would he become the All in One Sword in the next moment and be put into the sheath of the Inherited Heaven Sword by Taiping Zhenren?
Boom boom boom boom! Several thunders exploded again. Water splashed everywhere on the top of Bihu Peak, stirring up countless piles of snow.
"This is a mutual scheme," Ye Zichen said.
Taiping Zhenren said to Jing Jiu with a faint smile, "If I win everywhere, it doesn't matter even if I lose here. If I lose everywhere, I will still be the winner even if I win in Aoyama; but you can't lose anywhere."
"You have to defeat me first," said Jing Jiu.
Having said that, Jing Jiu took one step toward the Inherited Heaven Sword.
Taiping Zhenren took one step forward as well.
The wind and rain suddenly grew stronger. The Sword Formation of Aoyama responded to the rain, shrinking its range, but also becoming more powerful and formidable.
After passing through the Sword Formation, the raindrops seemed to be imbued with formidable sword wills. The raindrops fell on the two of them, leaving many tears and small holes on their clothes.
They looked at each other's eyes in silence, and mobilized their Sword Source silently. The formidable sword wills came out and shot up to the sky.
Crack!!! The lightning illuminated the gray sky and the peaks in the rain. A mountain in the distance suddenly collapsed. The water in the Golden Whip Stream became muddy, losing its usual color.
If they kept fighting, no matter who won in the end, Aoyama would be in serious trouble, or even destroyed.
…
…
"Immortal Leader, you're really something! Since you've calculated everything, why didn't you make a move earlier? "
"Why are you still standing at the edge of the cliff at such a time? The rain is so heavy! Just do it if you want to fight! "
Zhuo Rusui's voice rang out again. It had something to do with courage, but it had more to do with how thick one's skin was.
At such a tense moment, those influential figures in the Cultivation circle remained silent, but he was the first one to jump out. And he jumped out again at this time.
He was really jumping.
He jumped dozens of feet high.
He shouted as he jumped.
"We've been standing here for a long time, watching for a long time, watching the whole world for a long time!"
"Just do it now!"
His voice echoed in the raging storm, the collapsing cliffs, and the sliding snow.
Many people thought he was crazy, but some knew that was not the case.
After all, they had eaten hotpot many times on Shenmo Peak and in the Exterior Garden in Cloudy Town. They knew when their opponents were ready to take out their chopsticks, and they also knew when they were ready to draw their swords.
Just do it now!
It was Gu Qing who made the first move.
A streak of cold sword light illuminated the gloomy sky in the rain.
The Sword of the Universe broke through the air and flew toward the edge of the cliff.
The Sword Formation of Aoyama, which had descended from heaven and earth to the top of Tianguang Peak, naturally reacted. A streak of pale green light enveloped the edge of the cliff, half of which was the ground and the other half was the sea of clouds, forming a circular light shield.
Along with an ear-splitting noise, countless tiny nicks appeared on the body of the Sword of the Universe, as if it had been gnawed by rats. The Sword of the Universe was sent flying into the sky.
Gu Qing spat out a mouthful of blood. Unable to withstand the counterforce of the Sword Formation of Aoyama, he fell into the water pool.
When the Sword of the Universe had just illuminated the top of Tianguang Peak, Yuan Qu drew his sword.
The unnamed gray sword followed the Sword of the Universe soundlessly and landed on the same spot as the light shield of the sword formation.
Similarly, Yuan Qu was also sent flying backward and hit the cliff heavily. Along with the falling rocks, he hit the ground with a muffled thud.
Zhuo Rusui had been jumping up and down while speaking. He seemed to be exasperated.
When he uttered "Do it now" for the last time, he jumped up as well.
But this time, he didn't jump as high as thirty feet. Instead, he seemed to have jumped into the sky and then dropped down at a faster speed.
The Sword of the Universe fell, and so did the unnamed gray sword. Then came the Swallowing Boat Sword and the sword holding him.
He had poured all of his cultivation and strength into this sword strike.
Along with the violent sound of friction, he arrived in front of Jing Jiu and Taiping Zhenren along with the wind and rain, and then was shaken into the air.
Guang Yuan Zhenren and Nan Wang finally realized what had happened.
Two more powerful sword lights illuminated the top of the peak and struck down toward the edge of the cliff.
The two sword lights were shaken into the air by the sword formation of Aoyama.
Guang Yuan Zhenren and Nan Wang suddenly turned pale.
Two were in the Broken Sea State.
One was in the peak of the Broken Sea State.
Two were in the Reaching Heaven State.
Five flying swords landed in the same spot in a row.
An extremely small crack appeared on the green light shield.
A gust of wind blew over, bringing up hundreds of faint sword wills.
Those sword wills came from her clothes and her black hair, which had been soaked by the rain.
Zhao Layue showed up at the edge of the cliff, dashing toward Taiping Zhenren.
Why could she enter the range of Aoyama's sword formation?
Because she had the Acquired Shapeless Sword Body.
The previous attacks were all to find such an opportunity for her.
Her right hand pierced through the air, slapping toward Taiping Zhenren's face with several bright sword lights.
At this moment, she didn't care what kind of harm she might cause to Liu Shisui.
Her line of sight passed through the sword lights and fell on the slightly dark face.
A few days ago, at the edge of the cliff on the Shenmo Peak, this man said he wanted to summon the wind and rain, to travel a thousand miles in an instant, and to wake up in a dream …
So that was the reason. But she didn't want anything.
She just wanted Aoyama to be there.
She wanted Jing Jiu to be alive.
