Chapter 133 – Both sides suffer


Even the injured cultivators tried their best to sit still and wait for Yu Hong’s command.

Han Chang was also the same. He was slightly injured but could still hold on. However, deep down, he was complaining. He knew exactly what this move meant. Once this move was executed, the defensive capabilities of the entire sword formation would rapidly decrease. If they couldn’t severely injure the enemy, they would be in a miserable state.

Mi Xiaojing suddenly felt the ground shake violently, causing him to jump up. At this moment, Luo Bo and the others also ran to the front yard.

Everyone in the Sword Heart Sect looked up at the sky. They saw nine giant swords converging towards the dome of the sword formation, instantly transforming into a huge rainbow and piercing through the formation, shooting out directly.

Boom!

The earth-shattering impact caused the entire sect to shake violently. Houses collapsed in large numbers. The force was too immense, as if the entire sect’s headquarters was about to completely shatter.

Mi Xiaojing and the others stumbled around as if they were drunk. They were forced to fly slightly, but were immediately suppressed by an invisible force and couldn’t fly at all.

Except for a few Foundation Establishment and Elemental Infant cultivators who were not guarding the formation, everyone else fell to the ground, including Luo Bo, Zhang Ke, and the others. No one could stand steadily except for Mi Xiaojing, who was still stumbling and struggling to maintain his balance.

Qian Duqian laughed maniacally. This formation was his attempt combining the Evolutionary Immortality and the formation technique of cultivation. He didn’t expect it to have such great power.

He knew that it was almost impossible to obtain six spiritual treasures and combine them into a formation. This time, he was able to practice it with the spiritual treasures from the Vast Gold Sect. The important thing was that it was successful, so he was fully exerting himself and looking for loopholes in the True Words Flowing Sand Formation.

At this moment, the Sword Heart Sect’s Mountain Guarding Sword Formation counterattacked.

The golden sand flames attached to the dome of the sword formation suddenly jumped up, and countless flames spewed upwards. This scene was extremely spectacular. Before the six of them could react, a rainbow sword shadow rose from the formation and directly attacked them. The speed was so fast that the six of them couldn’t react, especially when they were still controlling the True Words Flowing Sand Formation.

Qian Duqian’s face changed drastically, and he only had time to shout one word.

“Block!”

In an instant, a sphere enveloped the six of them. In just a moment, it gave Sand Notoginseng and the others a very short reaction time, and they immediately activated their own defenses.

As cultivators in the Elemental Infant stage, their battle experience was very rich. They naturally understood that this was the counterattack of the Mountain Guarding Sword Formation. It was just that because the flames covered the dome of the formation, they couldn’t see the giant sword shadows rising from the nine peaks.

They didn’t even notice when the nine giant swords merged together. It was only when the nine swords turned into a rainbow and flew out of the formation that the six of them felt the true fear. Fortunately, Qian Duqian used the True Words to activate the defense, and the True Words Flowing Sand Formation enveloped the six of them.

At this moment, the sword rainbow collided, and the sky full of flames suddenly burst open, like a huge firework blooming.

Whether it was Sand Notoginseng or Qian Duqian, several of them spewed out a mouthful of blood at the same time. Underestimating the power of the Sword Heart Sect’s Mountain Guarding Sword Formation came at a price.

All six of them were injured at the same time, with varying degrees of severity. Xu Zhongqing was the least injured. With his profound cultivation, he barely managed to withstand it. But the most severely injured was Ban Jin. This guy liked to confront things head-on, and his choice directly led to his most severe injuries.

What made Qian Duqian go crazy was that the True Words Flowing Sand Formation and two of the six spiritual treasures were directly destroyed, and the other four were all damaged.

The sphere formed by the formation instantly shattered, and the six of them were directly knocked out.

When the six of them finally stabilized their bodies, they were already tens of kilometers away. It could be imagined how fierce this attack was. Breaking the formation and knocking them out happened in one go.

The six of them looked at each other, and Ban Jin spat out blood. “Pah! I didn’t expect them to have this move… Senior Brother, what should we do?”

Sand Notoginseng hesitated for a moment. He really wanted to continue the attack, but facing such a powerful Mountain Guarding Sword Formation, he was a bit scared.

However, Xu Zhongqing was decisive and said, “Continue the attack. I don’t believe that their Mountain Guarding Sword Formation can use this kind of attack multiple times!”

Qian Duqian hesitated in his heart. After a while, he said, “Without the Flowing Sand Formation, continuing the attack will rely on individuals. The defensive power of their formation is extremely strong. Hmm, I think we should be fully prepared before attacking again!”

Among the six of them, Xu Zhongqing was the least injured. As long as he took a Spirit Pill, he could immediately recover. The injuries of the others couldn’t be healed with just a Spirit Pill. They needed time to recuperate.

Finally, Sand Notoginseng said, “Let’s retreat and regroup for now. We’ll wait for the next opportunity!”

Xu Zhongqing was not happy about it, as he was eager to break the Sword Heart Sect’s formation so that he could obtain the Seed of the Divine Pill. However, with the odds being five to one, he couldn’t forcefully command them to attack.

“Attacking intermittently like this will make you regret it. We should attack with one breath and not give the enemy a chance to regroup. If we regroup, they will also regroup, and the battle will continue to drag on!” Xu Zhongqing said.

Sand Notoginseng said sincerely, “Senior Brother, rest assured, I will definitely fulfill the conditions I promised. We will regroup first. Ban Jin’s injuries are too severe. If he can’t join the attack, our strength will be greatly reduced. Don’t worry, we will soon launch another attack on the Sword Heart Sect.”

Xu Zhongqing was unhappy, but he couldn’t say anything more.

The six of them then flew towards a distant place.

In fact, Xu Zhongqing was right. When the Sword Heart Sect launched its attack, the entire formation was on the verge of collapse. If the six of them persisted in attacking, the formation would be completely unable to withstand it.

The entire sect was in ruins, with half of the houses collapsed and countless landslides caused by rocks and soil, crushing many manors and houses. Only the area around the main peak was relatively intact because there were better defensive restrictions there.The final blow created a shockwave that killed at least a few hundred mortals, their internal organs shattered by an invisible pressure, dying silently. This was merely the aftermath. If one were near the point of impact, even a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator would likely lose half their life. For a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator directly facing it, death was certain.

Even though this blow was delivered by the great sword formation, the cultivators presiding over the formation didn’t fare well either.

All Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were injured, with many unable to withstand the shock and dying. Half of the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were injured, with nearly all early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators severely wounded.

The four Elemental Infant stage elders also suffered from the backlash of the great sword formation. Although they were not injured, they would need to meditate for several days to recover.

In other words, almost no one in the entire Heart Sect, from top to bottom, escaped unscathed. There were not many who remained unharmed. This attack from the Vast Gold Sect greatly damaged the vitality of the sect. (To be continued.)
