Chapter 231: Big Dipper Grand Formation, Ninth Rank Demon Dragon
Sword formation?
Zhou Xuanji was stunned; he suddenly realised that he did not have a sword formation.
The power of sword formations were much more formidable than sword techniques; after all, they required many swords or people.
The Hegemon Sword Sect’s sword formation was famous across the world.
The most famous sword formation had been used by hundreds of thousands of sword cultivators against the demon army.
The Big Dipper Grand Formation!
As soon as they had used this sword formation, they had slain millions of demons, filling the battlefield with blood and causing the Hegemon Sword Sect to rise up to become a first-rate faction.
Xiao Jinghong, Zhao Congjian, Beixiao w.a.n.gjian, and Huang Lianxin all felt incredibly excited.
Zhou Xuanji could use dozens of swords by himself, so he could also use the sword formation by himself.
If he had a sword formation, his strength would exponentially increase.
“What are you trying to do…” Cheng Qianlong spoke with a trembling voice. He did not dare to run away nor did he dare to fight. He was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Even their Hegemon Sword Sect’s Sect Lord would have to kneel in front of Xian Xianghua; he was very clear as to his position.
“Didn’t you hear me? Hand over your sword formation, or I’ll make you all wish you were dead.” Xian Xianghua stopped three metres away as she spoke coldly.
Under her killing intent, the hundreds of sword cultivators did not dare to move; they finally experienced the terror that Cheng Qianlong had been experiencing.
“I don’t have much patience. I’ll count to three, and if you don’t hand it over by then, I’ll skin all of you and pluck out all of your bones!” Xian Xianghua said with an annoyed expression before starting to count down.
Cheng Qianlong was so scared that he immediately knelt down and flipped his right hand, a scroll appearing within his hand. He called out, “I’ll give it to you… I’ll give it to you…”
He looked completely terrified and was completely strengthless.
Xian Xianghua took the scroll and swept over it with her senses before nodding in satisfaction.
She looked at Zhou Xuanji and the others and said, “Let’s go, follow me up the mountain.”
She leaped up and kicked off Cheng Qianlong’s head as she flew into the air.
Zhou Xuanji held Jiang Xue’s hand and followed behind her while everyone followed close behind.
Afterwards, the group of Hegemon Sword Sect disciples fell to the ground in a daze.
“Revered Teacher, I’ve let you down!” Cheng Qianlong howled. Following this, he raised his sword and cut his throat, spilling blood onto the gra.s.s.
“Senior apprentice-brother!” The 300 or so sword cultivators cried out and gathered around him.
The little black snake sat on Chongming Demon Monarch’s shoulder and sighed as it said, “For you to humiliate him like that, it’s worse than killing him. That boy probably won’t be able to continue living.”
Xian Xianghua replied disdainfully, “He’s just putting on a show. If he really wanted to die, he could have just dissipated his soul; why would he slit his throat?”
With that kind of cultivation, even if one’s neck was cut or their head was crushed, they would not completely die, as they would still have their Astral Spirit.
Jiang Xue and Huang Lianxin instinctively looked back, and saw the Hegemon Sword Sect disciples weeping and crying, saying that it was not Cheng Qianlong’s fault, as well as that they would report this to the sect and die together.
They could only sigh and feel respect.
“Are you injured?” Zhou Xuanji asked Xian Xianghua. From her complexion, she seemed to be in a good state.
Xian Xianghua smiled proudly and replied, “You think they can harm me?”
She had already fully recovered, and had even surpa.s.sed her original peak. Apart from Yang Di, she did not fear anyone!
“Is Ta Tianchen dead?” Han Shenbo asked. The Evil Lord had been killed by Zhou Xuanji, and if Ta Tianchen died as well, the Xinhao Sect and Haoqi Alliance would no longer be a threat. They would not be disposed to chase after them for a while.
Xian Xianghua shook her head, saying, “I wanted to kill him, but in order to reach Skyfall sooner, I had to escape as quickly as possible.”
Everyone rolled their eyes.
She made herself sound all n.o.ble, but wasn’t it just because she was unable to kill him?
“That’s right, I caught the Diablo’s remnant soul; I’ll hand him to you after we’ve settled down,” Zhou Xuanji said.
Xian Xianghua’s expression did not change and she only gave a slight nod.
It was evident that she had already sensed the Diablo’s existence.
Everyone quickly headed towards Skyfall.
Xian Xianghua was the fastest. She quickly disappeared, and within three breaths of time, she returned holding Liuwu Demon Wolf.
Liuwu Demon Wolf was covered in blood and his arms were obviously broken. He kept coughing up blood and he looked incredibly wretched.
Seeing this, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
Before they had even come to their senses, this old demonic woman had made an Eighth Rank demon lose his ability to fight.
Just how powerful is this old demonic woman?
Zhou Xuanji wondered. Daoya Old Man had mentioned that many people in the Northern Wilderness’ Top 100 had surpa.s.sed the Great Realization stage. What stage was Xian Xianghua, who was once first in the world?
“There are four Eighth Rank demons as well as a Ninth Rank demon dragon that has been sleeping for a long time on the mountain. It is in the magma in the depths of Skyfall and has been sleeping for over 1,000 years. Unless Skyfall collapses, it will be very difficult for it to wake up,” Xian Xianghua said as she laughed, causing everyone’s eyes to widen.
A Ninth Rank demon dragon?
It was evident that this Ninth Rank demon dragon was not one of Jihuang Demon Lord’s underlings, and these demons had not discovered its existence.
“Dragon…” The little black snake gulped. It had spent 1,000 years to become a dragon, and this demon dragon’s sleep was longer than its entire lifetime.
“Ninth Rank… demon dragon?” Liuwu Demon Wolf was also scared trembling and his eyes widened.
He had slept on Skyfall for many years, and now that he looked back, he felt his soul trembling.
“Come with me; we’ll go to the top of Skyfall,” Xian Xianghua said as she smiled. After saying this, she swept up with her right hand, throwing Liuwu Demon Wolf upwards. In the blink of an eye, Liuwu Demon Wolf disappeared among the clouds.
Chongming Demon Monarch, the little snake, Han Shenbo, Xiao Jinghong, and the others all broke into a cold sweat.
This kind of strength…
Zhou Xuanji held onto Jiang Xue’s hand and flew upwards. The others came back to their senses and followed closely behind.
Skyfall was incredibly tall.
From the distance, they felt shaken when seeing git, but when ascending it, every moment was etched onto their hearts.
As they flew past the sea of clouds and looked up, everyone’s eyes widened.
They thought that after pa.s.sing through the clouds, they would be able to see the top, but found that they still could not see the top.
Skyfall was so incredibly tall!
It was as if it reached into the sky, shaking everyone’s hearts.
Groups of birds circled around the mountain and their cries sounded out, which made it seem like an immortal wonderland.
After flying for a while, Xiao Jinghong said in amazement, “We’ve already flown up 10,000 feet, and we still can’t see the top.”
He had heard many legends about Skyfall, and only after personally ascending it could he feel how indescribably grand it was.
Xian Xianghua’s demonic might covered Skyfall, causing monsters to rush into the forests, not daring to show themselves.
On the way, Zhou Xuanji and the others were not attacked.
After flying through layers of clouds, the sky started to fade.
The blue sky became a dark sky filled with stars.
Looking to the side, one would think that they were extremely far away from the Northern Wilderness and were in s.p.a.ce.
“No, wait, it’s an illusion!” Zhou Xuanji frowned because he could not see the other mountains. It was as if there was only Skyfall.
The spirit qi here was incredibly dense, and the further up they went, the denser it became.
This wasn’t right!
“This is an innate restrictive barrier, making you feel as if you’ve fallen into an illusion. If you continue to fly upwards, your spirit and soul will be turned upside down and you will end up falling down, in which case your body and soul will be completely smashed.” Daoya Old Man sighed in amazement.
The heavens and earth were always the most powerful existence.
Even if someone was number one in the world, they were still restricted by the heavens and earth.
Everyone continued to fly.
The summit of Skyfall was a flat area that was many miles wide. There were rocky hills around the boundary, making the summit look like a basin.
