Chapter 834: Sword Formation Upgrade, Surprise Attack from the Rear

The monster is so huge that it has no spine.

When the long sword comes out, you will know where its name comes from.

Luo Chen frowned, sensing a hint of danger.

Without thinking, he acted recklessly!
He still started with the Qingyang Great Seal, but the difference from usual was that after this technique Luo Chen followed it up with the Cloud-Exploring Divine Claw.

Swish!
After the majestic palm print, a claw suddenly stretched out from the sky and headed straight for the Wuji Demon Emperor.

Seeing this, the Wuji Demon Emperor was not surprised but happy.

"Well done!"

He leaped forward violently, without dodging or evading, and headed straight for the Qingyang handprint.

With one sword, the handprint was broken.

With another sword strike, the Cloud-Exploring Claw was broken into two halves.

Luo Chen looked at this scene, his pupils shrank slightly, and his gaze involuntarily fell on the sword.

This is a genuine sword!

Even though it was made with a crude demon-refining method, after years of nurturing, its power is no less than those of the authentic artifacts inherited from the major sects.

Two spells are not enough.

Seeing the Wuji Demon Emperor getting closer and closer, Luo Chen shouted softly and opened his mouth to spit.

call out! call out! call out! call out! call out!
Only the sound of breaking through the air was heard, and five streams of light flew towards the Wuji Demon Emperor in an endless stream.

It was exactly five sword pills!

The Wuji Demon Emperor had an extremely sharp sense. He wielded the long sword in his hand, releasing sword energy and pushing away the sword pellets one after another, with disdain in his eyes.

How dare you show off such a crude sword-ball-controlling method in front of him?

But the next moment, he saw five sword balls distributed in five directions, evolving into thousands of sword qi that surrounded him.

"wrong!"

The Wuji Demon Emperor's expression changed slightly, and he and the sword became one, transforming into a ray of light, and was about to escape from the formation.

However, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a flash of golden light in the eyes of the Taoist opposite him.

At that moment, a vision seemed to appear in his mind.

There were evil wolves roaming the mountains and forests, howling here and there and howling at the moon.

A huge snow-white tiger descended from the sky and overwhelmed the demon wolf.

Feeling something was wrong, the Wuji Demon Emperor realized instantly that he had fallen into a bewitching spell. He bit the tip of his tongue and came back to consciousness.

As far as the eye could see, a pair of golden pupils were staring at him coldly.

"Fellow Daoist, now that we are in the formation, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

The Wuji Demon Emperor's expression turned ugly, he looked around and saw sword energy like silk threads crisscrossing and blocking every direction for him to escape.

Sword array!

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something.

"This sword formation!"

"What is your relationship with Han Zhan?"

Luo Chen frowned slightly. The Great Five Elements Sword Formation was derived from the Liang Yi Five Elements Sword Formation, and they were indeed very similar in terms of external appearance.

But how could the Wuji Demon Emperor, whose name had never been heard before, know about these sword formations?

Considering that the other party had already entered the formation and would not be able to escape in a short period of time, Luo Chen had the rare opportunity to talk to him.

"Who are you?"

"Didn't I say this before, Emperor Wuji?"

"No, I'm asking which commander you are serving under?"

The Wuji Demon King said with a bit of pride: "I am the commander of Aojue!"

As soon as the name came out, Luo Chen immediately understood.

Ao Kuang is the leader of the millions of mountain wolves in the Eastern Wilderness. He is extremely powerful and holds a high status, second only to the Ancient Demon Emperor Tian.

And every one of the millions of demon wolves in the mountains can be said to be his descendant.

The proud and howling Demon King of the Howling Moon Mountains back then was a wolf clan prodigy that he had high hopes for.

It's a pity that this monster died before he could accomplish his mission.

After finally being promoted to the fourth level, he encountered the Luoyun Sect's pioneering war and even died under the siege of Han Zhan and a group of Nascent Soul True Immortals.

In that battle, Han Zhan's most proud weapon was the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sword Formation.

At that time, many monsters escaped and passed the information back, so it was normal for the wolf tribe to know something about it.

However, even the Wuji Demon Emperor and others remembered it so clearly. It was obvious that his superior, the Aojuang Commander, took it very seriously and might even have the idea of ​​avenging the Aoxiao Demon Emperor.

If Ao Kuang knew that he had mastered the sword formation left by Han Zhan, he might link him with Han Zhan, transfer his hatred, and seek revenge on him.

Thinking of this, Luo Chen's murderous intent became even stronger!
Seeing that Luo Chen didn't say anything, the Wuji Demon Emperor could no longer hold his temper and a look of anger appeared on his face.

"Do you really think this formation can trap me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was seen running in all directions with swords in both hands.

Sword Qi began to explode wildly, centered on his body.

But within a few breaths, another sword energy storm arose in the sword formation, and all the approaching sword threads were destroyed.

It's funny to say that.

The previous Yaobao Demon King did not know the way of the sword, but he saw through the flaw in the sword formation and escaped.

This Wuji Demon King is proficient in swordsmanship, but now he is using brute force to break it!

Is it disdain, or...

"You want to use this to drain my mana?"

In order to maintain the sword formation, in addition to the enormous pressure on the soul, deep magic power is also needed for support.

In this situation, even if Luo Chen could do many things at the same time, it would be difficult for him to use other means.

This Wuji Demon King obviously knew about Luo Chen's intelligence and knew that he had many different methods.

So instead of countering each move, it is better to fight against Luo Chen in the area that he is best at.

However, Luo Chen could only sneer at this.

In the eyes of outsiders, he is only at the third level of Nascent Soul, and no matter how powerful he is, it cannot be much higher.

Unfortunately, only he himself knows that his true realm is the fourth level of Nascent Soul!

And because of his terrifying foundation, his magic power is more than ten times that of people at the same level!
At the level of the middle Nascent Soul stage, Luo Chen thought that no one could be compared with him except Jiuling Yuanjun.

This Wuji Demon Emperor, however, made a wrong calculation!
"That's great. I'll take this opportunity to get more familiar with this Great Five Elements Sword Formation."

Luo Chen pursed his lips and planned to practice hard before the sword formation was broken.

The fingers of his hands were like swords, which came from the method of controlling sword balls in the "Thousands of Swords". As he made sword gestures one after another, the five sword balls were wielded more smoothly, which was much more refined than the previous crude sword control.

For the first time, the flaws of the Great Five Elements Sword Formation were so intuitively displayed in Luo Chen's illusion-breaking eyes.

"The reason why the Great Five Elements Sword Formation cannot display its full power is because the five sword balls are of varying quality. This is its biggest flaw."

"But before this flaw is discovered, it won't be easily broken through."

"Logically speaking, with two sword balls of the true weapon level, the killing power should not be able to defeat even the fourth-stage early stage demon king..."

The more Luo Chen looked, the clearer it became in his mind.

Gradually, he found the main reason why his Five Elements Sword Formation was not powerful enough.

The two most powerful real sword balls belong to the gold attribute and the wood attribute respectively. Gold overcomes wood, which is a natural restraint relationship!
The collision between the two actually affected the power of the sword formation.

So, if you are unable to unleash the full power of the Five Elements' mutual generation and mutual restraint, what will happen if you choose to give up one of them and instead use the power of the Five Elements' mutual generation to fully unleash the lethality of the other sword ball?

When he thought of this, Luo Chen suddenly had the idea to conduct an experiment.

He is already proficient in battle formations, and his ability to respond to changing circumstances when facing an enemy is also first-rate in the world.

As the sword techniques suddenly changed, the five colors in the sword formation became blurred, and the green suddenly weakened, almost the same as the blue, red, and dim yellow.

And that platinum sword ball, with four colors flowing, shone brightly!
call out!call out!call out!
Countless platinum-colored sword threads came faster and went more densely, crisscrossing each other, and even had the faint intention of cutting through the void.

"Correct!"

"That's it!"

Luo Chen's eyes showed surprise. With his operation, the power of the sword formation did not decrease but increased. It was many times more powerful than before!

Not only that, he discovered that by concentrating his power on a sword ball, the burden on his spiritual consciousness was much less, which meant that he could free up his hands to perform other methods.

There were really endless surprises! And the Wuji Demon King who was in the middle of it naturally felt it even more deeply.

The storm of sword energy formed by the combination of his sword and others had previously come and gone freely, but now it seemed to have encountered a sieve.

Whenever it collided with the platinum sword thread, part of his sword energy storm would be filtered out.

He understood that it was not that it was screened out, but that it was forcibly wiped out by the sword energy emitted by the sword formation during the confrontation.

"He is using me to test his sword skills! And he is improving very quickly. If he continues like this, I will be strangled to death by these impenetrable sword threads!"

Thinking of this, the Wuji Demon Emperor could no longer sit still.

He didn't see any signs that Luo Chen's magic power was exhausted. Instead, he himself was getting weaker and weaker.

Gotta get out!
The sword energy storm that had been weakened before suddenly expanded several times and rushed towards a weak point in the sword thread with an unstoppable force.

The Wuji Demon Emperor was proficient in swordsmanship, so he had naturally seen through the flaw in the sword formation long ago.

It was up to him to stay or leave, that's why he was so arrogant before.

If you don't want to get stuck in the mud now, you should escape from the weak point.

however!
A figure blocked his way out. He was dressed in a white robe and raised one hand, then struck out with a loud bang.

That's pure flesh palm!
After it was swung out, the rich energy and blood formed a huge palm print, as if the mountains were vulnerable in front of it.

Mountain breaking pose!
boom!
With just one palm, he pierced through the sword energy storm and knocked the Wuji Demon Emperor's body back into the Great Five Elements Sword Formation.

Outside the sword formation, Luo Chen's laughter rang out.

"Fellow Daoist, please help me find more flaws in this sword formation. I will not be able to repay you, but I will leave you with an intact body!"

"Bastard!"

The Wuji Demon Emperor was furious and swung his sword to cut out arcs of sword energy, showing that he was really angry.

However, Luo Chen could hear the cowardice in the other party's words.

Do you really think that this Great Five Elements Sword Formation is vegetarian?

Even though it has flaws, it is more than enough to kill a Demon King.

Luo Chen stood guard outside the formation, controlling the sword formation with hand gestures, while appearing in the direction of the Wuji Demon Emperor's escape at any time and forcing him back with pure physical skills.

As time passed, the Wuji Demon Emperor rushed left and right, but was still unable to escape from the formation.

Even with all his powerful sword skills, he was unable to use them on Luo Chen, and he could only battle wits and courage with the unpredictable sword formation.

It can be imagined that it won't be long before, relying on the concept of the mutual generation of the five elements, the endless platinum sword energy will destroy the Demon King.

Luo Chen was not in a hurry. While killing the enemies, he was checking the sword formation for loopholes. Where could he find such a good thing?
However, the next moment, his expression showed surprise.

A voice came into my ears.

Luo Chen frowned slightly, muttering inwardly: "Why would Tianduzi call me back to the city at this time?"

Inside the sword formation, the Wuji Demon King was already fighting like a trapped beast, and was ready to make desperate moves when on the verge of death.

Ignoring the cutting of the sword, the main body suddenly transformed.

A long green-red worm lay across the sword formation, with a long sword inserted into its body, transforming into a dragon-like spine.

As his body arched, endless magical power burst out.

Zheng!
There was only the sound of a sword ringing in the air, and a bow-shaped worm split the sky apart.

The formation was broken!
However, there was only confusion in the eyes of the Wuji Demon Emperor.

It was not he who broke the sword formation, but his opponent who took the initiative to withdraw the sword formation.

His sword landed in the air, giving him a disgusting feeling as if he was punching cotton.

"Did he know that I had this move? So at this critical moment, did he withdraw the sword formation?"

"What a terrifying grasp of the fighter plane!"

“What a sharp vision!”

An unstoppable chill rose from the heart of the Wuji Demon Emperor.

Luo Chen on the opposite side looked at him coldly, with five sword balls surrounding him, dancing like fish.

The Wuji Demon Emperor was still frightened and didn't dare to stay any longer.

"Luo Chen, I will remember you!"

After leaving behind some harsh words, he couldn't wait to escape.

Luo Chen did not chase after him. He put away the Five Elements Sword Pill and floated back to the city.

The great formation of Lingtian Pass was still being activated, like a sharp sickle, ruthlessly harvesting the low-level monsters that were attacking the city walls.

Master Mu greeted Luo Chen with a bit of awe.

"Congratulations, fellow Taoist, for defeating the enemy again!"

"It's just a few tricks, nothing to mention. Tianduzi has summoned me, so I have to go over there. I'll trouble you here, fellow Taoist."

Luo Chen waved his hand and went straight into Lingtian Pass.

After he left, Master Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

Luo Chen from Dan Sect is so murderous that it’s hard to breathe just standing next to him. I can’t imagine what kind of pressure those Demon Kings who face him in person have to endure.

He is worthy of being called the Demon Slayer!

……

The City Lord's Mansion is in the West City District. With Luo Chen's speed, he can reach there in an instant if he uses all his strength.

However, when he arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, he found that he was probably the last one to arrive.

There were already several old acquaintances in the hall.

Jiuling Yuanjun, Tieguan Taoist, Jin Ling, Shouyang Shanren, Hua Tianshi, Deng Taiyue, Fenghua Fairy, Li Pavilion Master.

Eight people in total!
The most important thing is that these eight people are all powerful people in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

In Lingtian Pass today, he is definitely the top master under the three great monks.

Even if he is placed in the entire Eastern Wilderness cultivation world, he can be considered a leader.

Seeing this situation, Luo Chen's pupils shrank slightly, knowing that something big must have happened.

Otherwise, with the four great commanders now leading hundreds of millions of monsters to attack the city, City Lord Lingtian would definitely not pull them out separately.

The eight real people obviously understood this truth, and each of them had an unconcealable look of worry on their face.

Of course, Luo Chen's arrival still attracted greetings from several friends.

"As expected of a Demon Slayer, he was still fighting the Demon King one moment, and was able to withdraw the next. This shows how powerful he is and how he handles things with ease!"

Shouyang Shanren, also known as Elder Lu from Dongyang Sect, said this with a smile.

Luo Chen smiled naturally and said, "The demon king had no intention of fighting to the death. When he saw me stop, he didn't want to fight anymore and we went our separate ways."

Like this?

When the others heard this, they were half-believing and half-doubting.

Luo Chen was too lazy to explain. He couldn't say that fighting with those early fourth-order Demon Kings was generally under his control!
Pulling Jiuling Yuanjun over, Luo Chen asked in a low voice: "Do you know what big thing happened? Why did you call us here so urgently? Didn't you even care about the battle at Lingtian Pass?"

"I don't know either, but it is definitely not a trivial matter. Maybe you can ask Fairy Fenghua and Pavilion Master Li, they may know some inside information." Jiuling Yuanjun said.

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows and glanced at Fairy Fenghua and Pavilion Master Li.

really!

The worry on their faces could not be concealed at all.

Not only that!

Luo Chen glanced at the others. Except for Jin Ling and Jiuling Yuanjun, almost everyone had a worried look on their faces.

Even the man from Shouyang Mountain, who had taken the initiative to greet Luo Chen earlier, had an unconcealable doubt in the depths of his eyes.

"Could it be something related to the rear?"

Just as Luo Chen was feeling confused, a figure walked out from behind the hall.

Not only that, but a phantom also appeared out of thin air in the hall.

The former is the Lord of Lingtian City, and the phantom is Tianduzi.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Lingtian City Lord looked solemn.

"To make a long story short, I have called you all together to tell you something. Currently, the three great commanders, Bi Zheng, Jian Kuang, and Jin Xiu Xian, are leading a group of demon kings to bypass Lingtian Pass and launch a surprise attack on the rear."

"They don't intend to occupy, but to destroy and kill!"

"In this situation, ordinary strong men are useless, so we need you to go out and cooperate with the forces behind to drive them out!"
