Chapter 352

"Escaped?"

In the Chaotic Sword Reef, Master Fire Dragon looked at the scene in the Universe Mirror, somewhat surprised.

An ordinary Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivator is naturally difficult to completely destroy a Nascent Soul early-stage one.

Being able to destroy his physical body can already be considered a great victory.

However, Sword Immortal Taibai is clearly different. If he were to cast a secret treasure like the "Soul-Forbidden Net," it would be entirely possible to completely behead Great Zhenjun Hundred Treasures, so that even his Nascent Soul could not escape.

"Naturally, I must let the other party's Nascent Soul escape, otherwise how can the news be spread?"

"Furthermore... only by knowing that Sword Immortal Taibai cannot destroy a Nascent Soul spiritual body can these Zhenjuns feel at ease falling into the trap."

Fang Xing was quite emotional: "Prepare yourself, the White Tiger Seven-Kill Sword Formation is about to receive guests..."

On a certain reef without a trace of vegetation.

A Nascent Soul Great Zhenjun with a strange and ancient appearance, wearing a high crown and a black robe, was sitting cross-legged.

He looked to be about forty years old, with very thin lips, and eyes that seemed like bottomless darkness.

At this moment, this Great Zhenjun cast his gaze toward another place.

"Fellow Daoist Yu Xue, long time no see."

Accompanied by a voice that was hard to distinguish as male or female, a figure wearing a white robe, seemingly shrouded in clouds and mist, floated out.

Their aura was ethereal; they were actually also a Great Great Zhenjun of the late Nascent Soul stage.

"Fellow Daoist Xu Yun, have you brought that item?"

Great Zhenjun Yu Xue's voice was magnetic, and carried a soul-stirring magic power.

After all, he was the Great Hall Master of Yu Hua Hall, famous in the Hanhai Cultivation World for his "Heavenly Demon Blood-Transformation Divine Ability."

"Naturally, I have brought it. If that Sword Immortal Taibai knew that it was our two Great Zhenjuns joining forces to deal with him, he would surely feel incomparably honored."

Great Great Zhenjun Xu Yun said with a chuckle.

"I just received a message from Hundred Treasures, he has already discovered the location of Sword Immortal Taibai... his physical body was destroyed, his Nascent Soul fled, and he even took the opportunity to cast a tracking secret technique, which landed on Sword Immortal Taibai..." Great Great Zhenjun Yu Xue began: "What do you think?"

"The acting was a bit overdone." Great Great Zhenjun Xu Yun replied with a light laugh: "The Killing Sword lineage is bloodthirsty and loves to kill, but they do not kill indiscriminately... Sword Immortal Taibai is currently at the Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivation level. For the sake of that great opportunity in a few years, he can only risk charging into the late Nascent Soul stage... There are only a few methods, and judging by the current posture, the most likely one is the 'Nine-Child Mother Spirit Infant Sword-Refining Technique'... If this guess is true, the Nascent Soul Zhenjuns who make a move this time will suffer heavy losses."

"If trash dies, then let them die... I have already secretly tampered with several Zhenjuns in this hall. Once Sword Immortal Taibai truly casts the sword-refining secret technique, he will surely reap what he has sown."

Great Great Zhenjun Yu Xue sneered.

It seemed that they were very familiar with the various secret techniques of the Origin Spirit Sword Sect.

"Good, blocking his promotion is only part of the goal, it is best to capture him alive... The Killing Sword lineage only passes on to one person per generation, and the consumption of various treasures is very small. Now he might still have the fifth-rank 'Great Void Escape-Space Talisman'. Once this talisman is cast, he can immediately teleport through the void to hundreds of millions of miles away, even a Spirit Severing Venerable would find it difficult to hunt him down."

Great Great Zhenjun Xu Yun said: "I have already borrowed the 'Mountain and River Map' secret treasure from the 'Infinite Hall', it might have miraculous effects at a critical moment!"

"Very good. You took the descendant of the Thunder Sword lineage last time. If you make another contribution this time, the ranking for the Spirit Severing opportunity in the future will surely be far ahead of mine. I haven't congratulated you yet, Fellow Daoist."

Great Great Zhenjun Yu Xue congratulated him.

"Haha... we are both peripheral forces of the Infinite Hall. Truly exchanging for a Spirit Severing opportunity will surely rank after the core Nascent Souls of the Infinite Hall. We should still encourage each other, encourage each other..."

Great Great Zhenjun Xu Yun's heart tightened, but his face showed the most sincere smile.

A few days later.

Chaotic Sword Reef.

"He's here."

Fang Xing and Master Fire Dragon were invigorated, and they saw in the Universe Mirror that Sword Immortal Taibai's sword light was moving back and forth, heading straight for the sword formation.

Behind him, several escape lights were biting tightly, all of them Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivators.

The leader among them, with a leopard's head and round eyes, wearing a beast robe, had ten thousand beasts seemingly following him with every casual strike.

Another one in green robes, with sword light moving back and forth, occasionally releasing his natal flying sword to fight fiercely with Taibai's flying sword, was actually also a Nascent Soul Sword Lord!

Being fellow sword cultivators, they naturally coveted the inheritance of the Origin Spirit Sword Sect.

Even if they didn't, Sword Immortal Taibai was an excellent opponent, enough to verify everything he had learned in his life!

The last two rays of light came from a male and female pair of Nascent Soul early-stage cultivators. They drove two strange concentric ring spirit treasures, and by joining forces, they erupted with Nascent Soul mid-stage combat power.

In Fang Xing's view, they were just monkey versions of Jiaoyue and Master Fire Cloud.

"Great Zhenjun Myriad Beasts, Sword Lord Green Bamboo, and the Cloud-Rain Pair... these are all well-known experts of the Outer Sea."

Master Fire Dragon could not hide the look of worry on his face when he saw this scene.

"Don't worry, Taibai has his own sense of propriety."

Fang Xing, on the other hand, didn't care at all, and even complained that Sword Immortal Taibai had "lured" too few monsters.

He had been too lazy to cultivate these past few days, so he had casually comprehended the jade slips of the "Great Void Flying Sword Technique" and the "Nine-Child Mother Spirit Infant Sword-Refining Technique."

The result was that the "Great Void Flying Sword Technique" was still a mystery, difficult to get started with.

He had quite some comprehension of the sword-refining technique, probably because his Second Nascent Soul had already practiced it in reality.

However, Fang Xing also discovered a problem. In terms of resource utilization, the Origin Spirit Sword Sect's sword-refining technique was clearly inferior to the demonic path's primitive method of devouring Nascent Souls.

'But the method of devouring infants has a 100% backlash and risk of going into demonic deviation in the late Nascent Soul stage... the Nine-Child Mother Spirit Infant Sword-Refining secret technique does not have this worry.'

'However, for me, it's all the same... the demonic path's primitive secret technique is more suitable for me.'

Fang Xing now had a faint feeling that because his Second Nascent Soul had advanced to the Nascent Soul mid-stage, the bottleneck of his cultivation avatar had loosened quite a bit.

Even if he did nothing, he would probably break through as a matter of course after a while.

'Looking at it this way, this Second Nascent Soul secret technique is also quite effective for hitting bottlenecks... It's just a pity that, apart from me, no one can let the Second Nascent Soul and the main body have such a large cultivation gap without rebelling...'

Theoretically speaking, in the current cultivation world, even if a cultivator cultivates the great divine ability of a Second Nascent Soul, they would definitely not dare to let the Second Nascent Soul's cultivation exceed the main body.

And, basically, it wouldn't exceed it...

Just as Fang Xing was pondering, the several Nascent Soul Zhenjuns who were fighting fiercely had already continuously approached the range of the Chaotic Sword Reef.

Whoosh!

The various Nascent Soul Zhenjuns were not fools. Although the great formation near the Chaotic Sword Reef had been hidden as much as possible by Sword Immortal Taibai, it was difficult to escape the various investigative secret techniques of the cultivation world.

"Go!"

Great Zhenjun Myriad Beasts roared, and the spirits of various birds and beasts emerged from his beast robe, among which there were even the spirits of fourth-rank transformed great demons.

One of them looked like a Thunder Roc, with its wings spread out over a hundred meters long.

With a light flap, wind and thunder followed, and it charged into the Chaotic Sword Reef ahead.

Countless birds and beasts touched the formation's restrictions and were shredded by streaks of sword light.

"Sure enough, there is an ambush."

Great Zhenjun Myriad Beasts pinched hand seals with both hands, wanting to summon back the Thunder Roc.

But a sword light soaring into the sky fell, instantly beheading the Thunder Roc's spirit.

Seeing this, Great Zhenjun Myriad Beasts' expression suddenly turned gloomy.

"Haha... if you want to kill me, come into the formation."

Sword Immortal Taibai laughed loudly and flew into the White Tiger Seven-Kill Sword Formation.

Streaks of sword light soared into the sky, causing the surrounding void to be filled with strands of sharp energy.

"Sure enough... just like the rumors, Sword Immortal Taibai cannot leave this place for long. Could it be that some heavenly treasure is about to be born?"

Sword Lord Green Bamboo waved his hand casually, setting up a wood-attribute sword formation with mottled bamboo shadows around him, staring at that formation, a trace of solemnity appearing on his face.

"Who knows... this person is, after all, a madman of the Killing Sword lineage. Perhaps he just wants to find cultivators to sharpen his sword."

'Great Zhenjun Rain' of the Cloud-Rain Pair spoke, her voice as clear as an oriole.

"That is indeed possible..."

Great Zhenjun Myriad Beasts was startled, then immediately nodded in agreement: "The madman of the Killing Sword lineage, every once in a while, if he doesn't kill some evenly matched opponents, his whole body feels uncomfortable... He set up a formation here, could it be that he is preparing to kill some Nascent Soul mid-stage Zhenjuns one-on-one?"

No matter how powerful a Nascent Soul Sword Lord is, if they encounter a siege by several experts of the same level, they can only flee in defeat.

Therefore, in the history of the cultivation world, it is not that there haven't been Nascent Soul Sword Lords who did this on purpose.

"No matter what, let's contact more Nascent Soul fellow Daoists first, and then find a formation grandmaster to come..."

Sword Lord Green Bamboo looked at that great formation, somewhat eager to try.

Not long after, one Nascent Soul Great Zhenjun after another brought more disciples, driving tall ships, strange beasts, flying swords... and arrived around the Chaotic Sword Reef.

"Everyone... the situation is just like this. If we delay too long, Sword Immortal Taibai might just leave."

Great Zhenjun Myriad Beasts said: "Therefore, we must break the formation quickly! Does anyone have any high opinions?"

While speaking, his gaze turned to an old man with white hair and beard, wearing a star robe.

This "Master Star-Shifter" was a fourth-rank formation grandmaster. Although his cultivation was only at the Nascent Soul early stage, his status was extraordinary.

"If this old man's eyes haven't deceived me, this formation should be the 'White Tiger Seven-Kill Sword Formation', known for being able to block seven cultivators of the same rank, it is incomparably dangerous."

Master Star-Shifter said: "If we want to break the formation in a short time, I'm afraid we can only have many Nascent Soul Zhenjuns with power exceeding the formation's capacity forcibly kill their way into the various formation gates... The White Tiger Seven-Kill Sword Formation has seven major sword gates, we need at least nine Nascent Soul Zhenjuns... and it's best if they are Nascent Soul mid-stage experts, to avoid being directly beheaded."

As soon as these words were spoken, the various Nascent Soul early-stage cultivators could not help but look at each other.

Nine Nascent Soul mid-stage experts!

Even for a first-rate force in the cultivation world, most would find it difficult to gather them.

In the Hanhai Cultivation World, Nascent Soul early-stage cultivators can be called ancestors of a sect, and Nascent Soul mid-stage ones are true experts even in the Holy Lands.

"There are six Nascent Soul mid-stage fellow Daoists here... the rest can perhaps be left to several powerful Nascent Soul early-stage fellow Daoists. As long as they are equipped with powerful magic treasures, supporting for a moment in the hands of a Nascent Soul mid-stage expert is not a problem."

'Great Zhenjun Cloud' of the Cloud-Rain Pair was an elegant young man, who offered a suggestion.

"Hmm... or, we can all charge into the formation together."

Master Star-Shifter suggested: "With the power of the dozens of Nascent Soul Zhenjuns present, the White Tiger Seven-Kill Sword Formation won't be able to kill us all, and the formation base will soon be pierced through..."

Master Myriad Beasts was originally about to nod, but received a divine sense transmission, and immediately shook his head: "No... if Sword Immortal Taibai sees too many people, he might just flee directly."
