Lu Changming waved his hand, and a blood-red longsword appeared in his hand.

Lu Changming’s expression was solemn as he raised the blood-red sword. His aura dispersed, and the space around him grew distorted.

The longsword in his hand quickly turned from red to black, and a black hole appeared at the tip of the sword, vacuuming the air around it into its void.

Lu Changming’s aura only continued to rise. He narrowed his eyes. His gaze was like the naked steel of a drawn sword, grabbing people’s souls.

Rich and powerful sword intent gathered around him.

The sky above him quickly darkened, and the ground below him seemed to be under heavy pressure. It caved in, forming a huge hole.

Lu Changming’s eyes turned blood-red as he slashed his sword down.

A huge sword ray tore through heaven and earth. The sword intent was razor-sharp, whistling through the air.

When the four ancestors and five ancestors saw this scene, their faces turned pale. They channeled all of their magic power and the golden bell rapidly expanded to protect the two of them.

At the same time, the long-browed Patriarch’s Green Longsword rotated in the air and turned into a green sea of swords. The densely packed small swords formed a sword formation and swarmed toward the blood-colored sword light.

Sect Master Ding did not sit idly by either. He activated the mountain protection formation with all his strength. At the same time, he reinforced his mental equities and the Great Lake at the back of the mountain rippled once again.

However, it was different from before. The waves were clearly more intense. It seemed like they were about to be born.

Rumble!

An intense explosion sounded. The airborne members of the Hidden Edge Sect could no longer stay in the air and fell to the ground, one after another.

The black-robed middle-aged man waved his hand to protect everyone behind him and retreated a few hundred meters.

When the sound stopped, the mountain protection formation of the Hidden Edge Sect was shattered. The fourth ancestor was unconscious while the fifth ancestor was bleeding from his seven orifices. He was clutching the body of the fourth ancestor.

The strength of someone at the peak of the Entry Saint Stage was actually so terrifying!

Sect Leader Ding no longer planned to hide. He quickly ordered the elders and disciples to return to the mountain. At the same time, he issued an order to the back of the mountain.

In the lake at the back of the mountain, a huge black shadow rapidly approached the surface of the lake. The surface of the water was turbulent.

However, someone appeared even sooner. A white light appeared, and the small paper figure of the calligraphy spirit appeared in a flash.

With a wave of his arm, the light of the library clashed!

With the appearance of this light pillar, the nine peaks of the hidden edge sect simultaneously produced a huge light pillar. It spread out in the air and quickly interweaved.

A new light pillar covered the entirety of the Hidden Edge Sect, expanding on to cover the lands beyond. The disciples and elders who hadn’t had time to retreat to the mountain gate were all protected.

“Book spirit! I never expected the Hidden Edge Sect to possess such a divine item!”

Lu Zhangming laughed out loud. He activated his sword light again. The powerful sword light slashed out again, hitting the colorful light.

The light shield shook, and waves of ripples spread out across its surface. It seemed to dissipate the force of the attack, and the Hidden Edge Sect remained unharmed.

“Great power! Great Treasure!”

Although the attack was ineffective, Lu Changming was not depressed at all. He was still looking at the body made of spirit paper with joy.

The other black-robed men behind him all came forward and formed a circle, one after another, and began to inject their own powers.

Strange threads connected from their bodies to Lu Changming’s back, and a fierce suction force pulled at the surrounding spiritual power.

The trees below quickly withered and turned into deadwood.

The snakes, rats, insects, and ants in the forest that hadn’t managed to escape in time quickly lost their vitality and turned into a pile of ashes.

“The book spirit is indeed very magical. It has the miraculous effects of setting up a formation to set up a defense, drawing in the Earth’s Qi, inheriting primal forces, and so on. The problem is that he doesn’t have the ability to attack!”

“I have the help of this god-swallowing withered life formation. Can you possibly last against such a prolonged attack?”

“I had not expected to have such a harvest this time. My trip here was not in vain!”

As he said this, he continued to gather his strength.

Upon hearing his words, a human-like expression flashed across the little book spirit’s face, as if it was not very happy.

It turned its body and bowed in the direction of reclining salary peak.

Ye Changge was observing the changes in the situation on Reclining Firewood Peak. It was there where he received a request from the book spirit.

It wanted to borrow a sword!

“Haha, Interesting.”Ye Changge nodded slightly, and an invisible sword qi gathered in front of him. Ye Changge waved his hand, and the sword Qi quickly flew out.

The book spirit straightened its body, and a ‘Qi Sword’ appeared in its hand, faintly showing its outline.

“Yiya!”

The book spirit tried its best to attempt a war cry, but it made a very cute sound.

The Earth Qi, literary qi, and other powers that it could use quickly gathered toward it and merged into the ‘Qi Sword’ in its hand.

The ‘Qi Sword’ was quickly dyed in color. Not a trace of killing intent came out of it, making it appear gorgeous and beautiful.

There was clearly no killing intent, but Lu Changming felt his heart palpitate.

He calmed his mind and gathered all his energy. A blood-colored sword light rose from the sky, and the thick smell of blood spread out.

Cut! Lu Changming roared and slashed down with his sword!

The book spirit also threw out the colorful qi sword in its hand.

The two swords clashed, and no sound was heard.

The blood-red sword was like ice and snow met with a blazing fire, and it was directly vaporized and disappeared.

Lu Changming and the others could not move. It was as if they were nailed to the sky, and they could only wait for the terrifying colorful qi sword to slowly but firmly stab at them.

A gust of wind blew. Lu Changming and the group of black-robed men seemed as if they never once existed. They were forcefully erased from the sky.

There was absolute silence. Those who saw this scene could not make a sound.

Shu Ling mischievously jumped in the air. She waved her hand in the direction of sleeping salary peak and disappeared without a trace.

The light on the top of the library pavilion also dimmed.

On the contrary, the light shield that enveloped the hidden edge sect didn’t disappear.

Sect Master Ding was overjoyed and quickly sent someone to inform the sect to maintain it. He reactivated the mountain protection array and combined it with the light shield.

The people of the Wan Xiang sect looked at each other, and Elder Lei Ting said, “We can’t stay here for long. Let’s hurry back to Faya City and discuss our next move.”

No one had any more objections.

When they quickly walked toward the mountain gate, they saw a young man in white standing there in a daze.

Li Shiyi had come here to observe the battle outside the gate and see if he wanted to make a move.

He had never expected to see a wonderful sword dao duel!

The Blue Sword Sea of the long-browed patriarch.

Lu Changming’s Slaughter Sword Dao.

Most importantly, there was that powerful multicolored sword Qi at the end!

The might of a single sword was actually so powerful!

All of this gave him a lot of inspiration. He had already comprehended sword intent, to begin with, but he had already faintly touched upon the realm of sword heart.

A sharp aura emerged from his body.

Then, the aura converged towards the center and gradually condensed, no longer filled with killing intent.

However, a sense of danger arose in the hearts of the Wanxiang sect group!

Even Lei Ting felt the same. He looked at Li Jieyi and felt that he was like the multicolored light sword that the book spirit had thrown out earlier, abnormally dangerous.

“Sword Heart! He actually comprehended sword heart at such a young age!” Meng Linjun cried out in surprise.

Lei Ting was stunned. His face which had been pretending to be calm all this time, finally couldn’t hold it in any longer, revealing a shocked expression.

There was such a talent in the hidden edge sect! He had comprehended the sword heart at such a young age. His future achievements were unimaginable.

The Hidden Edge sect was not a Sacred Place of Sword Dao. Why did they have such a powerful inheritance of Sword Dao?

He could not figure it out.

Wang Meng, who was standing next to him, stood there in a daze. Her mouth was wide open and she felt suffocated.

He knew this young man! Li Shiyi!

Li Shiyi, who had been sealed by their Qiankun Pavilion and the Hongwu Holy Dynasty! Li Shiyi, who had beaten up the current holy son of their Sacred Place!

He had actually broken through the five elements suppression technique!

That was the seal known as the Hidden Dragon Lock. How could it be broken if not by the hidden dragon?

Could it be that Li Jianyi’s talent was really that terrifying?

Moreover, he had also comprehended sword heart!

Wang Meng who had mocked Li Shiyi in front of Shen Yu was in a mess.
