The people in black who arrived suddenly instantly attracted the attention of the others, but when they saw that their target was Lou Mu Yan, they were a little surprised.
This woman really caused trouble wherever she went—a proper troublemaker!
“Who are you?” Lou Mu Yan held the golden whip in one hand and kept forming hand seals with the other hand hidden beneath her sleeve.
The killing intent in these people’s eyes were too deep. It seemed that they were here precisely for her.
The leading man in black had a hoarse and cold voice: “You’ll know when you see Yama.”
“I sure want to see who’s going to see Yama today.” Lou Mu Yan said with a rare look of ferocity in her eyes.
These people were really pushing her too hard. Ever since Gu Yan Ran, they came to her door to provoke her one by one, all wanting her to die.
Even a clay Bodhisattva had some hot temper1—she was truly angered.
“Yan’er.” When Lou Mu Bai saw the six people in black surround Lou Mu Yan, he split the Tier 5 Demonic Beast before him in half, tapped his foot and leapt over beside her.
“You sure took the initiative to send yourself before us.” The leader in black sneered and made a hand gesture to the five, “Kill!”
The other five people quickly spread out after observing his orders, each drew out an identical longsword, channelled their Elemental Energy into it, then swung towards the two together.
Upon seeing this, Ye Qing Han, Yun Lan and the others quickly resolved the fight with the Demonic Beasts they were in and leapt over one after the another. They drew their swords and brandished them, colliding with the several sword auras.
Lou Mu Yan wasn’t idle either, waving her whip continuously. Golden arced lights flew out from her whip, easily blocking two sword auras.
Lou Mu Bai’s longsword slashed in the air and several sounds of thunder and lightning rang from within the cave, slicing fiercely at the sword auras that headed for them.
The leader in black obviously didn’t expect that the combat power of the two would be so strong, and the strength of the few who suddenly came to reinforce them weren’t weak either. There was a grimness in his eyes, then he roared: “Set the Sword Array.”
After his voice fell, the five men immediately flung the longswords in their hands into the sky that then interlaced and arranged themselves, forming an Eight Trigrams shape.
The leading man bore ruthlessness in his eyes and took the lead to break a jade pendant on his neck. A power that didn’t belong to him exploded in his dan’tian.
He blew a breath of essence on the longsword in his hand and mumbled a few phrases. The longsword flew out of his hand and fell to the centre of the five longswords.
When the five people saw this, they didn’t hesitate to tear off the jade pendants on their necks as well and break them, borrowing the external force to increase their cultivation base.
When the leader reached Peak-Phase Sword Monarch, and when the other five reached Peak-Phase Sword King, they shot out six grey rays of Elemental Energy. It drew an arc in the air before entering the six longswords.
[WENG!!] The six longswords buzzed as if they had intelligence.
The sword body trembled a few times, then each flew up and slashed. Sword auras darted fiercely towards the Lou Clan’s brother and sister one by one.
Lou Mu Bai huffed coldly, and a dark green leaf-shaped Magic Treasure flew out of his hand, greeting the rays of grey sword light stabbing towards them.
The leaf spun around a few times in the air, slowly growing in size in the four directions, then immediately enveloped Lou Mu Yan and the others.
[CLASH!!] The sword auras fell on the leaf and made countless crisp sounds.
When the six men in black saw this, they sat cross-legged on the spot and kept forming hand-seals in front of their chests.
They bit the tip of their tongues until it bled and spouted a mouthful of blood each onto the Sword Array, using their bodies as the cauldron. As the formation of the hand-seals sped up, the Elemental Energy they borrowed within their bodies also formed six vortexes above their heads, continuously channelling Elemental Energy into the six longswords.
[WENG!!] The Sword Array hummed again, and the grey light brightened. Instantly, the sword aura that was originally diminishing, pressing down on Lou Mu Bai’s leaf Spirit Treasure, was now replenished.
[CLASH CLASH!] Sword auras clashed against the leaf relentlessly.
Lou Mu Bai expelled a breath of essence onto the leaf and a soft, dark green light shot out from the leaves. With a sudden blow, the grey sword aura was finally blown away and disappeared, but a few cracks also appeared on the leaf.
The six people were startled, their gaze fierce, then they sped up the transmission of Elemental Energy. The six swords within the Sword Array scattered from their formation of an Eight Trigram and formed a six-star attack force, shooting sword auras from the Sword Array one after the other.
Ye Qing Han huffed coldly, and a seal carved with the White Tiger flew from his hands. Suddenly, a huge White Tiger appeared and roared in mid-air.
[ROAR!!]
With a loud roar, the White Tiger’s figure leapt out and wielded its two sharp claws, directly facing the sword auras, blocking the offensive sword auras again and again.
Yun Lan and the others also released their own Spirit Treasures to withstand against the sword auras, creating a stalemate in the air, neither giving in to the other.
Suddenly, six more people in the same black clothes rushed up the hillside and they immediately joined the battle when they saw the stalemate in front of them.
“Lord Secret Envoy.” As soon as they entered the cave, they respectfully greeted the leading man that was sitting cross-legged.
“Quickly form the Sword Array.” The man’s cold voice sounded again.
“Yes!”
The several people immediately sat cross-legged and six of the same longswords flew out of their hands, instantly merging into the Sword Array.
[WENG!] The Sword Array shone brightly, creating a few pressuring hums. The twelve swords formed a seven-star force—this was the complete Sword Array.
The six people broke the jade pendant on their necks and the energy from their dan’tian also formed vortexes above their heads, constantly sending Elemental Energy into the Sword Array.
[BOOM!!] With the completed Sword Array, plus the power supply of six more Peak-Phase Sword King cultivation bases, the sword auras within the Sword Array instantly shot out countless times, directly blasting back the Spirit Treasures of Lou Mu Bai and the others.
Lou Mu Yan’s hand gestures continued to change, and just when the sword auras broke through Ye Qing Han and the other’s Spirit Treasure defences, she expelled a breath and a Fire Dragon dashed out from behind her with momentum like thunder.
An Ice Dragon then rushed up from in front of her, and the two dragons raised their heads in the air and roared, then greeted the countless sword auras that fell on their heads.
[BOOM!!]
The two different attribute dragons of Fire Elemental Energy Condensation and Ice Elemental Energy Condensation waved their claws, and the sword auras that neared were all dissipated.
Ye Qing Han and the others were all prepared to be injured, so when they saw Lou Mu Yan’s condensed flying dragons block and disperse the sword auras, they breathed a sigh of relief. Then they took out other Spirit Treasures to help.
The leading man in black obviously didn’t expect Lou Mu Yan to have such an ability. He gritted his teeth and his hoarse and cold voice echoed in the ears of the dozen men in black.
“Increase the power by another level. They must be killed today.”
After speaking, he took the lead and threw the broken jade in his hand onto the ground. The broken jade immediately turned into a pile of power, but there was also an invisible external force that penetrated into his body.
And his cultivation base immediately broke through from Peak-Phase Sword Monarch to Initial-Phase Sword Sovereign. The other eleven also followed suit in turn, and their cultivation bases broke through Peak-Phase Sword King, arriving at Initial-Phase Sword Monarch.
The twelve vortexes continuously expanded from the top of their heads and endless waves of dense Elemental Energy was channelled into the Seven-Star Sword Array.
The grey energy in the Sword Array was even denser, and countless sword auras gathered, forming two giant sword phantoms that slashed straight towards the two flying dragons.
[PENG!]
The sound of violent impact resounded, and the two giant swords actually cut the two roaring flying dragons into two pieces.
