Chapter 3707: Four-sided Sword Formation

"Little girl, you are no match for me."

Yan Wuqing held his sword, stepping on the Void Realm, looking down from above.

"However, for someone your age to possess such Sword Dao attainments and cultivation is truly remarkable; you are a talent worth nurturing.

Today, I'll give you a great Opportunity. Hand over your sword and the sword techniques you cultivate, and I will plead with my Junior Martial Uncle to let you join my Four Directions Sword Sect, entering the Middle Heaven Region. Your future prospects will be limitless."

He was truly captivated by Leng Qingqiu's Lvxian Sword and the sword techniques she cultivated. If he handed these two treasures over to the Sect, his status would greatly increase, and he might even become a Personal Disciple of the Sect Master.

Having offered such a condition, he didn't believe the other party would refuse.

In his mind, people from the Lower Heaven Region must yearn infinitely for the Middle Heaven Region, and such an Opportunity was a heaven-sent Opportunity.

But what he never expected was that after Leng Qingqiu stabilized her body, she merely uttered three words, "You are unworthy!"

"Courting death!"

Yan Wuqing's expression turned cold, but in order to obtain what he wanted, he still didn't strike with Killing Intent.

He merely held the long sword in both hands, and a violent Sword Intent, mixed with the pressure of an Immortal King Peak, swept towards Leng Qingqiu.

According to his thoughts, relying on his own strength would eventually make the other party submit, as no one was willing to die after all.

Leng Qingqiu had just been struck by a palm, already suffering minor injuries, and under such powerful pressure, her entire being was struggling to hold on.

She held the Lvxian Sword in her hand, relying on the Sword Intent she unleashed to resist this pressure.

It was a pity that the opponent's Sword Intent combined with the Immortal King Peak pressure was no longer something she could withstand.

One breath, two breaths; her sword-wielding hands had already begun to tremble, and a trace of blood even overflowed from the corner of her mouth, clearly indicating she was approaching her limit.

"Hahaha…" Yan Wuqing let out a triumphant laugh, "Now you know the gap between us, don't you? Quickly bow your head and surrender, agree to my conditions, or there's only death…"

"You wish…"

As Leng Qingqiu uttered these three words, a mouthful of fresh blood spurted from her mouth, and her face became incredibly pale.

"Little girl, you're in this state, what else do you have to fight me with…?"

Yan Wuqing was completely in the posture of a victor. In his view, in just a few more breaths, the other party would be unable to bear his pressure.

But at this moment, a powerful Aura suddenly soared into the sky. Immediately after, the Lvxian Sword in Leng Qingqiu's hand burst forth with an overwhelming Sword Intent, instantly shattering his pressure.

"This… what's going on?"

Yan Wuqing was shaken back more than a dozen steps, his face full of shock, not understanding what had happened.

Leng Qingqiu held her sword, and at this moment, her entire Aura was many times stronger than before.

It turned out that under this immense pressure just now, her cultivation had once again advanced, breaking through the Immortal King Early Stage Bottleneck and stepping directly into the Immortal King Middle Stage.

Although her cultivation still couldn't compare to Yan Wuqing's, with the blessing of the First Sword Immortal's Legacy, her strength was entirely capable of rivaling an Immortal King Peak.

"Kill!"

The Lvxian Sword erupted with monstrous Killing Intent, and the sharp sword light was like the waves of a vast ocean, sweeping over in successive surges.

Yan Wuqing fought again with his sword. After more than ten moves, he discovered that the opponent's strength had increased by an unknown number of times compared to before, not at all inferior to his own.

Crucially, it was still continuously increasing, growing stronger with each passing moment, and by the end, there was already a faint tendency to suppress him.

"Damn it!"

At this point, how could he not understand what had happened? His pressure just now had not only failed to make the other person yield but had backfired.

It had given the other person the impetus to make a Breakthrough, and now their strength had increased by another Rank.

However, regretting it was useless; what had happened, happened. Now, he could no longer suppress her.

Not only was he at a disadvantage, but the three people next to Du Wuju were also not faring well; each of them was only capable of parrying and had no strength to counterattack.

Jian Juechen stood to the side, frowning, his expression growing colder.

Originally, he had not intended to make a move upon arriving in the Lower Heaven Region, believing that the four Disciples he brought would be enough to completely subdue the Liuguang Sword Sect.

But now, it was completely the opposite; they were being thoroughly suppressed.

"You four are truly useless! Why aren't you using the Four Directions Sword Array!"

At his loud shout, the four people awoke as if from a dream.

They fully shook off their opponents, then gathered together, forming a sword array in the four directions of east, south, west, and north, encircling Jin Meier and the other three in the center.

The Four Directions Sword Array was the Four Directions Sword Sect's ultimate secret technique; it was said that the Sect's name was derived from it.

When the four of them jointly performed it, their combat power soared.

And indeed, that was the case. Once the four abandoned individual combat and formed the sword array, the situation instantly reversed.

Although Jin Meier, Leng Qingqiu, and the others were strong, they lacked combined attack techniques. Trapped within the array, they were thoroughly suppressed and completely at a disadvantage.

After a hundred moves, the four were already in a sorry state, each bearing some minor injuries.

"Let's see how much longer you can hold on!"

Yan Wuqing seized an Opportunity, his right hand's long sword knocked away Leng Qingqiu's Lvxian Sword, and his left palm struck towards her chest.

This palm strike was powerful and heavy; if it connected, she would certainly suffer severe injuries.

Jin Meier and the other two saw this scene and wanted to help, but they were suppressed by the other three and couldn't spare their hands at all.

Seeing that Leng Qingqiu was utterly unable to dodge, a sinister smile appeared on Yan Wuqing's face.

But at this very moment, a violent and incomparable gust of wind assailed him from behind.

"Not good, who is this?"

Yan Wuqing's expression instantly changed drastically. The remaining people from the Liuguang Sword Sect were not strong enough, and they were all inside the Sect, not participating in the battle. How could someone ambush him at this moment?

Feeling the power of the punch from behind, if he were hit, his Physical Body might not even be preserved.

Thinking of this, he no longer cared about Leng Qingqiu in front of him and quickly turned around, slashing out with his sword.

However, his sword strike missed. Immediately after, a figure appeared on his right side, delivering a heavy punch to his shoulder, sending his entire body flying like a cannonball.

The Four Directions Sword Array originally required the close cooperation of four people. With him being sent flying, the sword array instantly crumbled.

Leng Qingqiu and the others shifted from defense to offense. Du Wuju and the other two were caught off guard for a moment, all sustained injuries, and were all sent flying.

The battle situation was completely reversed in an instant, and all four were incredibly shocked.

Looking up, they saw a Young man appear before them, none other than Ye Bufan, who had rushed back.

"Xiaofan, you're back!"

Upon seeing him, Jin Meier and the other four were overjoyed and surrounded him.

"Kid, so you are Ye Bufan."

Yan Wuqing wiped away the blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth, his Killing Intent surging, "How dare you kill Disciples of my Four Directions Sword Sect? Why don't you quickly bow your head and confess your crime!"

Ye Bufan waved his hand, signaling Leng Qingqiu and the others to retreat to the back.

Turning his head, he looked sharply at the people in front of him, "Feng Wuji and the others deserved to die. Killing them was acting on behalf of the Dao. What crime have I committed?"
