Over the years, the three brothers have faced life and death many times, consuming their protective talismans completely, leaving only one remaining.
The boss of Pingâs Three Evil saw Li Yuanba in the distance using the âInch of Heaven and Earthâ to widen the distance. He wasnât concerned about Li Yuanba.
Li Yuanbaâs Lifebound Flying Sword was indeed formidable, able to slay Pingâs Second Evil of the Nascent Soul Middle Stage in one strike, but Li Yuanba dared not approach within a certain range. Not to mention the suppression of realm, even the shooting of the magical treasure bow could leave Li Yuanba unable to bear it.
Previously, Li Yuanba had luckily survived under his arrows, but he had absolute confidence in his archery skills and was certain he could kill Li Yuanba in the next attack.
Just as the boss of Pingâs Three Evil was thinking about this, he suddenly felt something was wrong; his surroundings changed, and he found himself in a forest of swords.
Trees surrounded him, but these were not ordinary branches and leaves; they were composed entirely of flying swords.
Each flying sword carried Sword Intent, ranging in strength, with the weaker ones having only a hint of Nascent Soul Early Stage Sword Intent, capable of injuring a Golden Core cultivator, whereas the stronger ones bore genuine Nascent Soul Early Stage Sword Intent, able to grievously injure a Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator.
"Iâm trapped in a formation!" The boss of Pingâs Three Evil quickly realized.
He knew he couldnât fall into a formation, as Tang Xue Ning, who was pursuing him, was truly terrifying.
Standing in the void, a fourth-grade upper stage magical treasure bow appeared in his hand, with an arrow automatically materializing on the bow.
The fourth-grade upper stage magical treasure bow glimmered, and energy flowed from his body into the bow, transforming through the bow into the arrow.
The aura on the arrow grew stronger, and when it reached its peak, he released it, shooting it forward.
The arrow shot into the sword forest; in his judgment, his full-force attack would absolutely create a passage through the sword forest.
But when the arrow entered the sword forest, it caused no destruction, as if the sword forest was an illusion.
His brow furrowed, his figure flickered to a sword tree, from which dozens of Sword Intents suddenly emanated, while myriad Sword Intents from other sword trees shot toward him.
With a wave of his hand, he set up a spell shield outside his body.
The Sword Intent struck the spell shield, producing a crisp sound; he knew these Sword Intents genuinely existed.
He judged that even the strongest Sword Intent among them couldnât harm him, so he moved through the sword forest confidently, trying to find a way to exit.
No matter how he moved, he couldnât find an exit.
This formation had been meticulously researched by Li Shiming, and though Li Shimingâs level in the Cultivation World couldnât claim to be the best, he was undoubtedly among the top in formation research.
Not to mention a cultivator like the boss of Pingâs Three Evil, who wasnât versed in formationsâthis kind of formation could trap even an Array Master within the âHeavenly Gang and Earthly Sha Immortal Sword Formation,â making it impossible to break out quickly.
At this moment, Tang Xue Ning had already caught up, but she didnât hastily enter the âHeavenly Gang and Earthly Sha Immortal Sword Formation.â
She perceived the peculiarities of the âHeavenly Gang and Earthly Sha Immortal Sword Formation.â The formation was already active, and the boss of Pingâs Three Evil was scrambling around inside.
Seen from outside the formation, the boss of Pingâs Three Evil was mere meters from exiting, but he was led by the formation to another direction.
Yet, what prevented the boss of Pingâs Three Evil were merely unremarkable flying swords.
Li Yuanba, using âInch of Heaven and Earth,â came to stand next to Tang Xue Ning, feeling particularly safe with her by his side.
In battles with Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators, he truly needed to be more cautious in the future.
"Did you set up this formation?" Tang Xue Ning asked in astonishment.
Whether it was the myriad flying swords or such a complex great formation, she was extremely taken aback.
Controlling thousands of swords wasnât easy, let alone setting up such a grand formation in a short time.
A formation capable of trapping a Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator was truly not simple and required much prior preparation.
But from the pursuit of the boss of Pingâs Three Evil to him being trapped in the great formation, how long had that taken?
Even if she knew it was impossible for another cultivator to have set up the formation, she couldnât help but voice her doubt.
"This is the âHeavenly Gang and Earthly Sha Immortal Sword Formation,â a formation developed for one of my treasures!" Li Yuanba smiled as he answered.
Honestly, naming this formation the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation was grandiose.
But he had ambition, with the increasingly profound formation knowledge he continued to access, and the constant improvement of swords within Ten Thousand Sword Peak; one day, this Immortal Slaying Sword Formation might truly become an Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.
"Your Immortal Slaying Sword Formation isnât even capable of slaying immortals, let alone slaying the boss of Pingâs Three Evil, right?" Tang Xue Ning pointed at the boss within the âHeavenly Gang and Earthly Sha Immortal Sword Formationâ and shook her head.
The Immortal Slaying Sword Formation was a legendary top-grade sword formation in the Cultivation World, and she also felt Li Yuanba exaggerated the âHeavenly Gang and Earthly Sha Immortal Sword Formation.â
Li Yuanba smiled faintly, his gaze falling on the boss of Pingâs Three Evil inside the âHeavenly Gang and Earthly Sha Immortal Sword Formation.â
If the boss of Pingâs Three Evil hadnât scrambled around inside, perhaps the âHeavenly Gang and Earthly Sha Immortal Sword Formationâ wouldnât have been able to do anything to him.
The true killing move of the âHeavenly Gang and Earthly Sha Immortal Sword Formationâ was the core âFive Elements Killing Array,â but since the âFive Elements Killing Arrayâ couldnât expose its aura, it remained hidden within the âHeavenly Gang and Earthly Sha Immortal Sword Formation.â
It could only act when the boss of Pingâs Three Evil entered; otherwise, the âFive Elements Killing Arrayâ couldnât unleash its effect.
The âHeavenly Gang and Earthly Sha Immortal Sword Formationâ was time-limited to a maximum of thirty minutes before its internal energy was exhausted.
If the boss of Pingâs Three Evil insisted on attacking, the duration would be even shorter.
Li Yuanbaâs intention with the âHeavenly Gang and Earthly Sha Immortal Sword Formationâ wasnât to slay the boss but to impede him, leaving his execution to Tang Xue Ning.
But the boss of Pingâs Three Evil, not versed in formations, merely scrambled inside and had only attempted an attack once, stopping after seeing no effect.
Li Yuanba saw the boss was wandering near the âFive Elements Killing Array,â and his smile deepened.
"Looks like you wonât need to take action, Junior Master Tang!" he said, pointing at the boss of Pingâs Three Evil.
Tang Xue Ning paused slightly; even though the boss of Pingâs Three Evil was trapped, his strength was rather high among Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators.
Just as Li Yuanba spoke, the boss of Pingâs Three Evil entered the âFive Elements Killing Array.â
The âFive Elements Killing Array,â based on Li Shimingâs expertise in the Five Elements Formation, confuses cultivators through transformations of the Five Elements, working with the Great Cultivatorâs âVoid Sundering Sword Intentâ to achieve a killing strike.
As the boss of Pingâs Three Evil entered, the surrounding sword forest vanished.
He was about to feel relieved, thinking he had exited the formation, only to discover he was still trapped; the sword forest hadnât disappeared.
He picked a direction to walk in, attempting to escape.
Suddenly, the world around him flipped, and the Five Elements Energy in the void grew chaotic. He even felt a slight impact on the Five Elements Attribute of the spiritual power shield maintained outside his body.
The world flipped again and again, ceaselessly reversing, and even he, a Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator, felt dizzy and his divine sense disturbed amid the changes.
At this moment, the deadly strike of the âFive Elements Killing Arrayâ appeared; five streams of the Great Cultivatorâs âVoid Sundering Sword Intentâ seized the continuous world reversals, cutting toward him from the void.
In truth, not even five streams of âVoid Sundering Sword Intentâ were needed. One âVoid Sundering Sword Intentâ breached his defense, the second obliterated his flesh, the third executed his Nascent Soul, and the remaining two briefly circled, then retreated.
