Chapter 1376: Sword Formation Inspires

This time, when Xie Tianhong fought, he did not release the magic dragon and his clone, but instead used a sword formation.

Three Divine Rank and sixty-one Honor Rank long swords, under the control of his Divine Soul Power, slammed into the oncoming wolf pack; in one clash, they almost wiped out more than half of the pack.

Seeing the situation turn bad, the wolf king wanted to retreat, but Xie Tianhong's sword formation was balanced in offense and defense; after one wave of attack, it immediately surrounded them.

Especially the higher-ranking lead wolf and several main snow wolves were specifically targeted by the sword formation.

Seeing this sword formation, Ye Liuyun also frowned: "The power of this sword formation is probably more than enough to deal with experts of the fourth or fifth level of Heavenly Sovereign."

If I were to fight him, and he used this sword formation, my chances of winning wouldn't be great either!

Especially those three Divine Rank swords; if I tried to block them with my physical body, I'd probably get hurt too!"

A sword formation can continuously launch attacks under the control of Divine Sense.

Sixty-four swords, continuously without pause.

This is far greater than the power exerted by sixty-four Martial Cultivors taking turns attacking.

"This Xie Tianhong is really not easy to deal with!"

Ye Liuyun thought while using the Primordial Spirit Secret Technique to form spirit energy arrows, learning his attack formation.

Every formation has its operating routes and principles; Ye Liuyun, for a moment, could only copy it superficially.

Inspired by Xie Tianhong's sword formation, Ye Liuyun suddenly recalled the illusion formation he had previously cultivated.

Thus he combined them, using the spirit energy arrow formation, which is true yet illusory, hard to tell real from fake, and thus has another effect.

The several snow wolves surrounding Ye Liuyun, seeing this, all showed fear in their eyes and retreated, not daring to approach him further.

Ye Liuyun also did not deliberately chase after them.

Seeing that the wolf king could not survive, he also did not want this innocent pack of snow wolves to perish here, and wanted to leave them some seeds.

So he merely used the arrow formation to bombard in front of them, forcing them to keep retreating.

Those snow wolves, having received no retreat order from the wolf king and not daring to withdraw, could only keep their distance from Ye Liuyun's attacks, watching from afar.

Only when they heard the wolf king's mournful howl and the retreat signal did they turn and run.

Ye Liuyun also gathered up the Primordial Spirit Secret Technique and rushed to meet with Xie Tianhong.

His clone continued to practice the arrow formation within the Space World.

He also suddenly had the idea to change the sword-arrow formation into a blade formation, blending in blade intent and Heaven and Earth Power.

Xie Tianhong's sword formation, because it has Divine Rank and Honor Rank substantive weapons, is very powerful and does not require him to consume True Essence.

Ye Liuyun's blade formation is entirely made of spirit energy; even with blade intent and Heaven and Earth Power added, its power is considerably weaker, barely enough to hold off for a moment, and the rest must be borne by his physical body.

However, his blade formation undergoes far more variations than Xie Tianhong's sword formation.

It's not usable against Xie Tianhong in combat, but against others, especially when facing many opponents, it is a very practical combat skill.

Thus, his clone continuously practiced and improved within the Space World.

Ye Liuyun then gathered together with Xie Tianhong once again.

Apart from some low-level snow wolves that Xie Tianhong was too lazy to kill, over a hundred snow wolves have already been shot into sieves by his sword formation.

To conceal his strength, Xie Tianhong had already collected the corpses by the time Ye Liuyun arrived.

"Is it over?"

Ye Liuyun looked at the wolf blood covering the ground and asked, feigning curiosity.

"Yes! Fortunately, their cultivation levels are low; otherwise they'd really be tough to handle!"

Xie Tianhong replied offhandedly.

"Hmm, it's just that there are many of them!"

Ye Liuyun also chimed in in agreement.

The two of them continued on their way, holding up the treasure umbrella.

Xie Tianhong suddenly asked, "How did this pack of snow wolves discover us?"

Ye Liuyun shrugged and guessed, "Maybe they saw us, or smelled our scent?"

"Maybe so!"

Xie Tianhong also said a sentence, then did not continue the topic.

Ye Liuyun also did not know whether he had developed suspicions in his heart.

"Even if he suspected, what could be done?"

Ye Liuyun, however, didn't pay much attention to it.

However, on the road ahead, he became more cautious of Xie Tianhong.

The subsequent Snow Region almost turned into a mountainous area with crisscrossing snow mountains.

Relying on the treasure umbrella, they avoided many high-level ferocious beasts.

Ye Liuyun, in order to avoid raising Xie Tianhong's suspicions, also did not go provoke ferocious beasts to test him.

"We're almost there!"

After they crossed two snow mountains, Xie Tianhong told Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense also detected that after passing the snow mountain beneath their feet, ahead lay a vast ice plain, which would be suitable for building a city.

However, Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense detected nothing.

Not even a ferocious beast did he detect.

He didn't ask further, since Xie Tianhong would lead the way; he just needed to follow.

The moment they stepped out of the snow mountain onto the ice plain, Ye Liuyun felt the pressure suddenly increase.

He and Xie Tianhong both descended directly onto the ice surface.

Flying under such great pressure would undoubtedly consume a lot of True Essence.

"The environment here is special, with naturally increased pressure!"

Xie Tianhong explained to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun activated his Golden Pupil and Divine Sense to investigate, and found that there really was no formation here.

"There actually exists such a place in this world!"

He couldn't help but sigh.

"There are also many ice monsters here! They are formed from condensed solid ice."

"Sometimes they are right under our feet."

"But since they don't move, we find them hard to notice!"

Xie Tianhong reminded Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun glanced down at his feet.

His Golden Pupil could see down several dozen zhang deep, all of it ice layers.

It looked quite solid.

Xie Tianhong also put away his treasure umbrella.

The ice plain here can be seen far into the distance at a glance; there's no need to use Divine Sense to detect them.

His treasure umbrella, naturally, wouldn't be of much use either.

"Let's go; in less than a day we should be able to see Xuecheng!"

Xie Tianhong said, and led Ye Liuyun onward deeper into the ice plain.

As they went deeper, the ice plain was no longer flat; instead, many huge ice blocks and icebergs appeared.

"These are what the ice monsters use for cover.

"Making it hard for people to tell which is real ice and which is an ice monster's incarnation."

Xie Tianhong explained to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun answered with a sound and nodded.

Actually, his Golden Pupil had already seen several ice monsters.

Those ice monsters have no Divine Sense, no vital signs, their bodies are entirely made of ice, making them indeed hard to detect.

But their transparent eyeballs were rotating, looking at Ye Liuyun and them.

Although they are well hidden, they cannot escape Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil.

"Brother Xie, these ice monsters have no Divine Sense?

"No life?

"What exactly are they then?"

Ye Liuyun asked Xie Tianhong in puzzlement.
