Clearly, the cultivators who intended to intercept Su Hao’s flying sword with shields or magical tools were all pierced through their bodies by a sword, severely injured, and basically powerless to fight again.
Just as their shields were all broken and they were unable to launch spells again, Su Hao’s cyan flying sword turned back and easily chopped off their heads.
Su Hao also wanted to make a fatal blow, but the flying sword could only pierce through the sword tip to instantly break through the multiple shields of the Golden Core cultivator. If he had intended to cut off their heads from the beginning, it would have been difficult to break through all the shields. That’s why Su Hao went the extra mile to reverse the sword’s edge for a follow-up attack. As for headshot shooting, the target was too small, easy to miss, and easy to dodge.
In Su Hao’s first wave of flying sword attacks, nearly ten cultivators were directly killed, their headless bodies lost the effect of spells and fell down the mountain with their heads.
On the contrary, the cultivators who used spells to dodge escaped. However, they were all frightened by the sharpness of Su Hao’s wave of flying swords, pale-faced, and kept retreating.
Su Hao was not very satisfied with his performance, he could only say it was okay, but that’s it.
The dodging ability of the Golden Core cultivators was extremely strong, and he was simultaneously controlling forty-eight flying swords, making it difficult to concentrate, so it was normal to be avoided.
“Sure enough, having more people still has a certain advantage, able to persist for a longer time!”
Thinking this, Su Hao concentrated his attention and controlled the flying swords in the sky to chase and attack the fleeing cultivators.
Yuan Ze, hidden in the mist, narrowly dodged after Su Hao’s flying swords broke through his three layers of shields. Watching the distant cyan light, he felt lingering fear and muttered to himself, “This flying sword seems to be born for piercing armor. The several layers of shields on my body simply cannot withstand it! No, I can’t resist it!”
What puzzled Yuan Ze was how the crystal-armored figure could accurately sense his position?
He didn’t have time to think much. Seizing the moment when Su Hao’s flying swords attacked, he manipulated the spell, and twenty-four flying needles flew out from his sleeve, scattered around Su Hao, emitting light and forming a huge light curtain, trapping Su Hao in the middle.
“Formation?” Su Hao glanced at it and immediately recognized the origin of this formation.
‘Purple Smoke Erosion Killing Formation Disc’!
“Swish, swish, swish—”
Another Nascent Soul cultivator also took action, shooting out twelve flying shuttles, also nailed around Su Hao, forming the second formation.
‘Invisible Sword Formation’!
In total, there were two large formations trapping Su Hao in between.
“Hum—”
The ‘Purple Smoke Erosion Killing Formation Disc’ activated, and dense purple mist emerged from the light curtain, forming winding mist dragons, gradually spiraling towards Su Hao to kill him.
“Swish—”
The ‘Invisible Sword Formation’ also activated, suddenly shooting out an invisible sword qi, heading straight for Su Hao’s tall crystal body.
What Su Hao wanted to say was that playing formations in front of him was futile!
Su Hao didn’t even bother to look at it.
‘Blink’!
The next moment, Su Hao’s figure appeared outside the formation, his eyes locked onto one of the blue-robed Golden Core cultivators. Three flying swords surrounded him from three directions, locking down the dodging space of the blue-robed cultivator.
“Swoosh!”
The first sword was dodged, the second sword broke the shield, and the third sword severed the head.
Blood sprayed, the Golden Core cultivator’s body lightly fell from the sky, faster and faster.
Soon, Su Hao mastered the knack of killing with three swords in a group, leaving the Golden Core cultivator with no room to dodge, and they successively fell under Su Hao’s sword.
This was terrifying to the extreme. The remaining Golden Core cultivators had no fighting spirit left. They turned into escape lights and were about to flee this place. Whatever sect mission there was could wait until they escaped with their lives. Regardless of the final punishment, they would accept it. If they died here, everything would be in vain.
…
Yuan Ze and Feng Dan, the two Nascent Soul cultivators, saw Su Hao breaking free from the formation and appearing outside it. Their pupils contracted involuntarily. “It’s this move again. What kind of spell is this? Could it be an illusion spell? Have both of us been deceived?”
If it was an illusion-type spell, it made sense. The crystal-armored figure was not initially in that position but elsewhere, and everyone’s frenzied attacks were just illusions created by the crystal-armored figure to confuse everyone’s spiritual senses and psychic senses.
In other words: everyone was initially deceived by that crystal-armored figure!
Yuan Ze thought he had found the truth and showed a faint smile. “Humph! This Foundation Establishment cultivator’s illusion spell is quite good! But… we can’t be careless.”
After a brief thought, Yuan Ze formulated a strategy to deal with Su Hao. As an experienced Nascent Soul cultivator, he had his confidence.
With a flicker, Yuan Ze dodged a cyan flying sword that flew towards him, then appeared beside Feng Dan and said, “Fellow Feng Dan, I suspect that the Foundation Establishment cultivator is using an illusion spell. How about we join forces to find his true body?”
Feng Dan immediately understood Yuan Ze’s meaning and nodded, “Okay!”
Then the two of them successively launched large-scale offensive spells, enveloping the entire mountaintop of Qianfeng Mountain.
‘Purple Clouds Fill the Sky’!
‘Thousand Needle Stone Rain’!
…
However, Su Hao ignored them and focused on clearing out the small fries. Now, the Golden Core cultivators, panicked, were running around everywhere, increasing the difficulty of his killings.
“Phew, phew, phew—”
No matter where the Golden Core cultivators fled to, they couldn’t escape the pursuit of the cyan flying sword. Their flying speed was far inferior to that of the flying sword, almost unable to escape at all. One after another, they were beheaded by Su Hao and fell down the mountain, ending their lives here.
The Golden Core cultivators all thought that this siege of Qianfeng Mountain’s stronghold was as good as in the bag. Previously, they had cleared out all the disciples guarding the thirty-eight peaks around Qianfeng Mountain. This time, they came only to kill Wu Shen old mana of Yunzhong Valley and wrap things up!
Even when facing Nascent Soul cultivators, they didn’t need to take action themselves. As long as they outnumbered and surrounded the fleeing Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators, not letting a single one escape, it could be considered completely safe.
But they never expected to encounter such a weird Foundation Establishment cultivator, who was ridiculously elusive. How many Golden Core cultivators were helpless before him, like chickens and ducks waiting to be slaughtered, completely defenseless.
Looking at their own two Nascent Soul powerhouses, they were so angry they could spit blood. What were these two Nascent Soul cultivators doing? Were they just bystanders? Didn’t they see their fellow Golden Core realm cultivators being slaughtered? Why weren’t they stepping up?!
However, they could only curse inwardly but dared not speak out, unless they were tired of living!
No matter how these Golden Core cultivators thought, they couldn’t stop Su Hao’s harvesting pace.
Once Su Hao identified his attack target, his heart became extremely indifferent. All his thoughts were used to calculate how to kill all the enemies in a more optimal way and achieve his goal.
“Golden Core realm, only two left!”
One corpse after another fell down the mountain. Besides the two Nascent Soul realms, only two Golden Core cultivators were still desperately running around!
These two Golden Core cultivators had escape and displacement speeds far surpassing others, almost reaching the level of Nascent Soul cultivators. Su Hao surrounded them with flying swords several times, but they slipped away every time.
“So good at dodging? Then I won’t chase!” Su Hao retracted his forty-eight flying swords and thrust them into the ground.
With spiritual power infused, they were fully charged, and the originally dim cyan light became dazzling once again.
Seeing that the two Golden Core cultivators had fled far away, Su Hao activated the spatial module, directly teleporting the forty-eight flying swords to the two Golden Core cultivators.
Then with a wave of his hand.
The cyan light flying swords poured down like a torrential rain, covering the two Golden Core cultivators, leaving them with no room to dodge.
These two Golden Core disciples looked ahead and suddenly saw a large swath of cyan light flying swords appearing in the sky, their faces full of confusion, then turning into despair.
“Heaven wants to destroy me!”
In the face of the group of flying swords’ attack, what use was fancy dodging?
“Swish, swish, swish—”
Blood splattered, and the path of cultivation came to an end.
With a gesture, Su Hao retrieved all the flying swords, suspended them behind him, and then turned to look at the two Nascent Soul cultivators in the distance.
“Next, it’s your turn!”
Su Hao didn’t say much either. With a wave of his hand, the forty-eight flying swords surged toward the two people like a torrent of green, as if to devour them completely.
Yuan Ze and Feng Dan immediately turned into escape lights and fled towards the direction of the other three Nascent Soul companions.
Su Hao’s sword light was sharp and couldn’t be lightly touched. They couldn’t find Su Hao’s true body, so their attacks were basically ineffective. They could only temporarily avoid the sharp edge and seek other methods.
However, Su Hao’s flying swords were extremely fast. Soon, they caught up with the two of them, and no matter how the two dodged, they were always followed closely.
While Yuan Ze fled, he also formed hand seals.
‘Multiple Purple Light Shields’!
A large number of purple light shields formed behind Yuan Ze, overlapping each other.
The next moment, a large number of cyan light swords collided with the purple light shields, instantly shattering them.
“Clang, clang, clang…”
The crisp sound rang out, and after the cyan light swords shattered the purple light shields, they unexpectedly deviated from their original trajectory and passed through Yuan Ze’s side.
Su Hao exclaimed, “Huh! This Nascent Soul cultivator’s technique is impressive!”
Knowing that they absolutely couldn’t withstand Su Hao’s flying sword piercing attacks, they used a large number of shields to deflect the trajectory of the flying sword attacks, thus evading the fatal attacks in an instant.
As for the other Nascent Soul cultivator, Feng Dan, he also had his own way of dealing with it. He fled while launching spells at Su Hao’s cyan light flying swords continuously. By consuming the spiritual power on the flying swords, when the flying swords shot towards him, the defensive artifacts he carried were enough to withstand the remaining force of the flying swords.
Su Hao originally thought one wave could end the battle, but it turned out to be beyond his expectations. Both Nascent Soul cultivators managed to dodge his flying sword barrage.
“In that case, I’ll use the Twenty-Four Flying Swords Formation – Sword of Dawn!”
