Hsu Fengnian squinted his eyes as he admired the 18 Daoists' nimble movements. The 18 sword lights were dazzling. He enviously said, "This sword formation is not bad. If there's a chance in the future, I'll make one too. I'll call all the sword experts in the palace together. I wonder if Li Chungang is willing to teach them, or if he can learn from Wu Lingsu's three sword formations? Mount Longhu's 108 Swords Army sounds insufferably arrogant, but it's a bit too exaggerated. The Wu family's sword mound has few people, but where can they find nine sword grandmasters at once? Only Mount Wudang's Taiji Sword Formation has 81 people. No matter how you look at it, they're the closest. Ask that bull-rider if he can reduce it to 20 or 30 people. "
Lü Qiantang's sword moves were violent, but the Jade Heaven Sword Formation used softness to overcome hardness. Lü Qiantang didn't want to waste his energy, but he couldn't kill one or two people first. Even if he wanted to seriously injure one, it would be difficult.
Hsu Fengnian muttered, "This sword formation is invincible under the first rank. That Bull Wu didn't seem to be boasting."
Lü Qiantang couldn't defeat the sword formation, but it didn't matter. Hsu Fengnian wasn't an idiot who cared too much about face. He immediately shouted, "Shu Xiu, Yang Qingfeng, go help out."
Seeing that Lv Qiantang could not break the formation by himself, Wu Shizhen breathed a sigh of relief. This was reasonable. Otherwise, if the Jade Cloud Sword Formation was easily broken by one person, it would be too much of a disgrace to the Qingyang Palace's reputation. If one person couldn't break it, two more? Wu Shizhen wasn't afraid at all. The 18 swords of the Jade Heaven Sword Formation couldn't reach the "ten thousand swords" realm. That was the heaven-defying ability of Mount Longhu and Mount Wudang's sword formations. If there were bad, there would be good. With two more people, the sword formation could be divided into three, reflecting each other's brilliance. Six swords against one person, just right to maximize the Jade Heaven Sword Formation's power.
The Qingyang Palace couldn't do things like burning talismans and chanting spells to summon clouds and rain, but using sword formations to trap and kill enemies was their specialty.
Wu Shizhen pinched the sword belt by his ear with one hand and wrapped his other hand around the slender waist of a young female Taoist priest. He gently rubbed and pinched her waist while his eyes stared at Aunt Shu in the middle of the formation. She had such a shockingly plump chest, but such a thin and slender waist. She was really alluring! The waist of the female Taoist priest beside him was already very comfortable. If he were to touch the waist of Aunt Shu, wouldn't it be even more ecstatic? Especially when Wu Shizhen saw that after Shu Xiu entered the formation, she used her abundant zhenqi to bend a Qinggang Sword that was aimed at her chest. If she didn't withdraw the sword, it would have been broken. Wu Shizhen clicked his tongue in wonder. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva and teased, "Oh my, this charming woman's internal energy is so brilliant. It's worthy of her twin peaks. It's equally magnificent. This is good. When we get on the bed, she can be on par with me! As the old saying goes, a moment of spring is worth a thousand gold. There are a hundred moments in a day. Wouldn't I be able to earn 100,000 gold in a day and night? So what does that arrogant boy say about a thousand taels of gold? It's nothing! "
Wu Shizhen's patience had been carefully cultivated by the Prince of Qingcheng, who only had one son. Hsu Fengnian didn't have such good patience at this time. He said in a deep voice, "Shu Xiu, if you don't break the formation now, believe it or not, I will let others break the formation and send you out to be played with by others!"
After hearing this, Shu Xiu's delicate body trembled, and her chest shook as well. Even the sword formation Taoist priest was slightly dazed by this flirtatious scene.
Without waiting for Shu Xiu to exert all her strength, Lü Qiantang, who was the first to enter the formation and the first to familiarize himself with the sword formation, began to explode with sword intent. He suddenly increased the strength of his sword, causing the two swords to fly out of the sword formation's fixed path. Seizing this moment, Lü Qiantang did not take the opportunity to injure the enemy. Instead, he broke through the eight people's small sword formation and broke into Shu Xiu's side, tearing open an opening. Almost at the same time, Shu Xiu and Yang Qingfeng, who had developed some tacit understanding from the battle with the red-armored man, understood tacitly and released their killing intent. Lü Qiantang did not pay attention to the twelve swords that flew behind him, and heavily chopped down on a Taoist priest. This Great Sword Swordsman slightly disrupted two small sword formations, and immediately attracted most of the attention. Yang Qingfeng's attack was swift and fierce, and she broke the last stable sword formation. It seemed like she wanted to save Lü Qiantang, who had abandoned her, but all of this gave Shu Xiu a large opening. She bent her knees and fiercely shot into the air. She held a Qinggang Sword with her bare hand, and threw the Taoist priest and his sword to the ground. Using the momentum, she charged towards another Taoist priest in the air. With one hand, she sent the Taoist priest's sword flying, and the other hand pressed against his head. With a muffled bang, she viciously crushed the Taoist priest's head, and fresh blood splattered all over her body.
One person fell to the ground, and the other died. The Jade Cloud Sword Formation, which was originally inferior to the Divine Cloud Sword Formation, immediately collapsed. Lü Qiantang's Scarlet Cloud Sword was no longer restricted by the Eight Directions Sword Formation, and with one strike, he cut off the arm of a Taoist priest that was holding the sword. Yang Qingfeng took the opportunity to close in like a ghost. She spread out her hands, one hand on each Taoist priest's chest, and without any sound, the two Taoists in the sword formation went limp like mud. The defeat of an army was like a landslide. Beiliang's three retainers, who were carefully selected by the Pillar State to be His Royal Highness' lackeys, were not people who only knew how to fight on paper. How could they not know the principle of beating a drowning dog? The three of them pierced into the formation, back to back, and formed a small formation. Without any hesitation, they split up and killed. In a short period of time, they took another four lives.
Hsu Fengnian's hands pressed down on the Embroidered Winter and Spring Thunder double sabers, and laughed loudly, "This is a technical job, reward!"
Hsu Fengnian added, "Kill them all!"
Whether or not to kill the Prince of Qingcheng, who was personally bestowed by the Emperor, had to be carefully considered. But killing a dozen Taoist priests was nothing.
Wu Shizhen was cold by nature, and did not feel sorry for the deaths of the few people in the sword formation. He only felt sorry for the sudden collapse of the Jade Cloud Sword Formation. He gritted his teeth and said softly, "Set up the Divine Cloud Sword Formation."
The so-called Divine Cloud referred to the Divine Cloud, which was the highest place of Taoism. Clouds accumulated to form the sky, and it was supported by righteousness. The immortals used the Nine Heavenly Thunders as swords, and the rain of swords fell from a million miles away. No one in the mortal world could stop it!
This was the Divine Cloud Sword Formation that the Qingyang Palace relied on! The Palace Guarding Sword Formation that had once created a monstrous scene in the palace.
When the Divine Cloud Sword Formation was completed, the eighteen people in the sword formation had all died on the spot. The bluestone square outside the hall was covered in blood.
The female Taoist nuns all turned pale.
There was no longer any trace of the leisurely laziness they had when they came out to watch the show!
On the top of Qingyang Peak, the sound of horse hooves suddenly thundered. It came closer from afar, and became increasingly clear and frightening.
Countless cavalrymen wielding crossbows and sabers could be seen riding up the stone steps. They came into everyone's view, and lined up in a line on the square, like the tide of the Guangling River.
Did they use cavalry to break the sword formation?
These were one hundred elite light cavalrymen, one hundred white horses, and one hundred Beiliang sabers.
The heavily-armored general in the lead held a halberd, and the tip of the halberd pointed directly at the main door of the Qingyang Palace.
The light cavalrymen behind the halberd belonged to the battalion, and among the sixty-four battalions with banners in Beiliang, they were brave and good at fighting and could be ranked in the top three. The Phoenix Battalion!
There were a total of eight hundred cavalrymen.
They were also known as the eight hundred white horses of the Xu family!
