Can't Stand This Lousy Jie Sect Anymore
Chapter 743 - 514: Solo Battle Against Four Saints_4
Four Saints each stood in one of the four directions of the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation, facing the Slaying Immortal, Immortal Entrapping, Slaughter Immortal, and Immortal Extinguishing Swords that hung above the formation gates. The blades emitted a heart-throbbing glow, as if each sword possessed the power to destroy everything.
The Saints observed the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation in silence, their minds fully immersed in the array, searching for an opportunity to break the formation. After a moment, as if by telepathy, they nodded simultaneously, seemingly having found the key to deciphering it.
Primordial Heavenly Venerate was the first to speak, his voice echoing in the formation: "The strength of this formation is truly beyond the capability of ordinary beings. However, as the Four Swords of Slaying Immortal are the key to this formation, if we can remove these swords, the formation will exist in name only."
Upon hearing this, the other three Saints nodded slightly, their gazes resolute without any hesitation. However, just as they were about to act, the voice of Sect Hierarch Tongtian rang out, filled with provocation and confidence: "Do you think you can just take away my Four Swords of Slaying Immortal as you please? Behold the sword!"
As soon as the words fell, Sect Hierarch Tongtian, seated within the formation, rapidly changed his magic formulas, and instantly, dazzling sword lights burst forth within the great formation, transforming into four splendid auras slashing towards the four Saints.
Facing the attack of the Slaying Immortal Sword, Primordial Heavenly Venerate stood motionless, as Celestial Qingyun clouds appeared above his head, golden flowers blossoming within them, with the Hongmeng World vaguely visible inside, illuminated by sun, moon, and stars. Within the Qingyun, multicolored divine lights painted the heavens, and the music of eight celestial tones echoed through the universe. Outside Qingyun, numerous Golden Lamps, Golden Lotuses, Yingluo, and hanging beads fell like continuous dripping water from the eaves.
With the appearance of this Celestial Qingyun, an intangible power dissolved the attack of the Slaying Immortal Sword into nothing.
On the other side, Saint Jieyin sat on a Twelve-Tier Merit Golden Lotus, chanting "Mercy" while surrounded by brilliant golden radiance, dissipating the attack of the Immortal Entrapping Sword amidst the golden lights.
Saint Zhunti faced the attack of the Slaughter Immortal Sword.
He produced a Seven Treasures Miao Tree multicolored in his hand and gently swept forward, brushing away the sword light.
The final Immortal Extinguishing Sword attacked Taiching Saint.
The latter merely waved his sleeve lightly, and the advance of the Immortal Extinguishing Sword was halted as if encountering an invisible barrier.
The Four Saints each displayed their Divine Skills, neutralizing the sword light attacks initiated by Sect Hierarch Tongtian one by one, but they also knew this was just a probing attempt by the sword formation.
Although Sect Hierarch Tongtian was in control of the formation, the full power of the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation was yet to be unleashed.
Seeing the Four Saints easily neutralizing the first wave of attacks, Sect Hierarch Tongtian's face showed no hint of discouragement. He knew the true terror of the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation; this was merely a light appetizer.
His hands changed magic formulas again, and the four swords in the formation emitted an even more brilliant glow, sword qi surging like a tidal wave, sweeping towards the Four Saints.
Undeterred by the more intense onslaught, the Saints knew they could only thoroughly break this seemingly impregnable Great Formation by removing the Four Swords of Slaying Immortal.
Suddenly, Taiching Saint tapped his finger on his crown, releasing three streams of clear qi from the top of his head, which ignored the fearsome sword lights and directly flew towards Sect Hierarch Tongtian, subsequently transforming into three hazy, ethereal figures.
"Three Corpses?"
This momentarily startled Sect Hierarch Tongtian, who controlled the formation. Then, he grabbed the Qingping Sword, channeling the Heavenly Dao Killing Power to slash towards the three figures.
However, like illusions, his attacks passed directly through their bodies without causing any harm.
"Strange."
Tongtian frowned, observing the three figures closely, only to realize they were like nothingness, their faces unclear, seemingly just like three streams of clear qi.
Initially, he thought these three figures were Taiching Saint's Three Corpses, but now he knew he was mistaken.
At that moment, one of the figures transformed into a young Daoist who instantly arrived, wearing a Nine Cloud Crown, dressed in a Red White Crane Silk Robe, riding on Bai He, holding a Tongbi Immortal Sword, and cried out, "Tongtian, watch out!"
As he spoke, he had already thrust his sword towards Tongtian.
Sect Hierarch Tongtian was shocked to see this person who looked exactly like himself, and even the aura was very similar, he couldn't help but ask in astonishment, "Who are you?"
The young Daoist laughed heartily, saying, "I am the Upper Pure Daoist."
Tongtian grew furious, "If you are the Upper Pure Daoist, then who am I supposed to be?"
During their conversation, suddenly another middle-aged Daoist appeared. He wore a Ruyi Crown on his head and a pale yellow Eight Diagrams robe, arriving on an Immortal Crane, holding a Ganoderma Jade Ruyi in one hand, he cried out: "Upper Pure Daoist, I have come to help you subdue this Tongtian scoundrel!"
Saying so, he disembarked from the Immortal Crane, holding the Ganoderma Jade Ruyi and struck towards Tongtian's head.
Tongtian was startled, and shouted loudly: "Primordial!"
"I am not Primordial!" The middle-aged Daoist responded with a sneer filled with sarcasm, "You don't even recognize me, how could you possibly hold the title of a Heavenly Dao Merit Saint?"
"What arrogance!" Sect Hierarch Tongtian spoke dismissively, "Quickly state your origin!"
The middle-aged Daoist shouted loudly, "I am, the Yuqing Daoist!"
"Hmm?"
Tongtian couldn't understand why suddenly there were now both an Upper Pure Daoist and a Yuqing Daoist. His Qingping Sword defended against two opponents, yet his mind was utterly baffled.
While he was pondering, another Daoist approached, with a pale and aged face, grey-haired, wearing a Nine Heavens Crown and an Eight Treasures Longevity Purple Cloud Robe, holding a Dragon Whisker Fan, he shouted loudly, "Fellow Daoists, I have come to help you break the Trap Immortal Formation!"
Seeing this grey-haired and aged Daoist, Tongtian vaguely understood something and quickly asked, "Who comes there?"
The grey-haired Daoist responded with a smile, "I am the Taiching Daoist."
"As I thought!"
Sect Hierarch Tongtian, sneering, shouted loudly: "Stop pretending! Big brother, this is all your trickery, isn't it?"
As if in response to him, there was a loud "boom" sound, and the Upper Pure Daoist, Yuqing Daoist, and Taiching Daoist vanished in an instant, replaced by the Taiching Saint who was standing under the Heaven and Earth Colored Glaze Tower, his feet upon the Tai Chi Diagram.
This act was equivalent to admitting Tongtian's speculation.
The so-called Upper Pure Daoist, Yuqing Daoist, and Taiching Daoist were all his handiwork.
"What a clever trick!"
Tongtian couldn't help but praise, "Who would have thought, big brother, that you had already severed your Three Corpses!"
Taiching Saint spoke indifferently, "You are mistaken, it is not the Three Corpses Dao Body, but the technique of One Qi Transforming into The Three Pure Ones."
"One Qi Transforming into The Three Pure Ones?"
Sect Hierarch Tongtian looked at Taiching Saint, somewhat puzzled.
But Taiching Saint did not wish to continue this topic. His expression remained neutral, showing neither joy nor anger, just calmly looking at Tongtian, he softly said, "Quickly disband the Great Formation and follow me to Zixiao Palace to meet our master. Whether the one in Zixiao Palace is real or fake, he has merged with the Heavenly Dao; we as Heavenly Dao Merit Saints have no chance against him..."
