Jade Dynasty: I am the master of the Burning Sword, my swordsmanship is unparalleled.

Chapter 214 Formation vs. Formation
Even Yun Yilan was so shocked, not to mention Shangguan Ce standing to the side.

At this moment, Shangguan Ce felt that Zhang Xiaofan's strength was simply unfathomable.

Even if the weakest of the three of them joined forces, they would be comparable to the late stage of the Shangqing realm. Not to mention Yun Yilan and Wanrenwang, who were among the top cultivators in the world.

It's unbelievable that Zhang Xiaofan could easily block the combined attack of the three of them.

In Shangguan Ce's view, Zhang Xiaofan was no longer the so-called number one sword immortal in the world, but the genuine number one powerhouse in the world.

According to rumors, even Dao Xuan Zhenren, who had reached the Taiqing realm, was no match for the Zhang Zhenren before him, in Shangguan Ce's opinion.

It should be noted that this Master Zhang has yet to unleash his most proficient sword technique, and the Burning Soul Sword in his hand has never been fully activated.

After forcing the three back, Zhang Xiaofan's eyes flashed slightly, and he turned his head slightly to whisper to the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox behind him.

"you go first!"

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox was taken aback for a moment, but quickly recovered and said something.

"I misunderstood you before. However, since you have come to save me, even though I am a demon, I will not abandon you and run away alone."

Zhang Xiaofan frowned upon hearing this, and was about to speak again, but Wan Renwang would not give the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox a chance to escape.

Wan Renwang knew Zhang Xiaofan's methods all too well. No one in the world could stop Zhang Xiaofan. Once the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox escaped, it would be nothing short of a pipe dream for them to catch her again.

Wan Ren waved his hands, and a beam of blood-red light surged out, gathering in his palms to form a blood-red battle blade, which he then swung at Zhang Xiaofan. At the same time, a hoarse voice rang out.

"Attack! Don't let the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox escape!"

Seeing this, Yun Yilan quickly moved forward and attacked Zhang Xiaofan and the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox at the same time. Although Shangguan Ce was injured, he also endured the pain and stood aside to fight against the attack on the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox.

After Zhang Xiaofan forced Wan Renwang back with his sword, he was about to launch a strong attack on Yun Yilan to stop him when he saw Wan Renwang entangle him again.

Zhang Xiaofan was quite helpless about this. In the end, his strength was actually about the same as Wan Renwang, Yun Yilan and others. However, he cultivated a variety of techniques and had many methods, so he was not afraid of group attacks.

To put it bluntly, whether Wan Renwang acts alone, Yun Yilan acts alone, or the two of them work together, it makes no difference to Zhang Xiaofan.

That's not right either. Although Wanrenwang has killed many living beings and drunk a lot of blood along the way, he has not fully recovered his strength yet. Given time, he will inevitably be defeated.

But at this moment, Wan Renwang made a strong move to entangle him. Even if Zhang Xiaofan was able to barely suppress his opponent, Yun Yilan often intervened, leaving him unable to spare any attention.

For a time, Zhang Xiaofan, Wanrenwang, and Yun Yilan, who often intervened, fought fiercely, constantly unleashing various profound techniques, and powerful magical fluctuations swept outwards.

But the nine-tailed celestial fox on the side looked much more disheveled.

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox should theoretically be of similar strength to ancient mythical beasts such as the Yellow Bird and the Kui Niu.

However, firstly, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox is different from those other mythical beasts. She possesses intelligence and has embarked on the path of transforming into a demon, resulting in her size being completely incomparable to those ancient mythical beasts.

The strength of ancient beasts is greatly related to their size. Although transforming into a demon can allow them to advance further, demon cultivation is inherently slow. In addition, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox was imprisoned for three hundred years, so its strength is still somewhat inferior to that of other ancient beasts.

Secondly, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox had been imprisoned for three hundred years and had just been released. Its strength had not yet recovered, and it was not even used to fighting.

Therefore, facing Yun Yilan and Shangguan Ce, who were familiar with her, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox was repeatedly defeated. Soon, her smooth, white fur was covered with burn marks and frozen patches, and even a few bloodstains. At this moment, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox realized that Zhang Xiaofan had told her to leave earlier because he was confident in his own strength, and that her presence would only be a burden to him.

"Boo! Hah! Hah!"

Just as the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox was under increasing pressure, countless whooshing sounds came from afar, and hundreds of young cultivators dressed in the attire of the Incense Valley rushed over.

As soon as these disciples appeared, they saw their Valley Master and Elder Shangguan joining forces to suppress the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox. Without hesitation, they all activated their magic weapons and began to attack the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox.

Seeing the disciples rushing to their aid, Yun Yilan and Shangguan Ce couldn't help but show some joy.

"Humph!"

Zhang Xiaofan's eyes widened in surprise. He immediately snorted coldly and, taking advantage of Yun Yilan's momentary lapse in concentration, used his sword to block the blood-stained blade in Wanren's hand before raising his knee and striking directly at her.

After knocking back ten thousand people with a single knee strike, the Hehuan Bell at his waist rang slightly, its clear sound startling all the disciples of Fenxiang Valley.

The next moment, Zhang Xiaofan transformed into a sword, and in a flash, he arrived in front of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox. With a single sword strike, the powerful sword energy instantly forced Yun Yilan and Shangguan Ce back.

After being forced back several feet, Yun Yilan used the force to land on top of the Xuanhuo Altar. Then, he reached out and slapped down, and immediately, powerful magical energy surged into the great formation inside the Xuanhuo Altar.

"Buzz!!"

As Yun Yilan poured his magical power into it, a series of unique fluctuations emanated from the Xuanhuo Altar and spread outwards.

In the next instant, a crimson light swept outwards from the Xuanhuo Altar, and then special array patterns appeared in the crimson light.

The nine-tailed celestial fox's eyes narrowed sharply, and it quickly spoke up.

"Stop him! This is the Eight Fiends Profound Fire Formation within the Profound Fire Altar!"

Zhang Xiaofan's eyes narrowed, and with a light tap of his toes, he quickly floated up and landed on the back of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox. He raised his hand, grasped the Burning Sword horizontally, and then suddenly released it.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Xiaofan changed his hand seals and pointed his sword finger at Fenji.

"Om!!"

The Burning Sword trembled slightly, and a dense, dark red aura of malevolence suddenly rose up, then with a 'poof' sound, it transformed into a ball of malevolent fire.

Zhang Xiaofan then formed his other hand into a sword-finger gesture, held it upright in front of him, and continuously chanted incantations.

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"

A burst of blood-red light surged from Zhang Xiaofan's body, flashing three times in succession. After the three flashes, a massive blood-red halo, tens of feet in size, surrounded Zhang Xiaofan.

In the next instant, countless dark red array patterns appeared one after another in the blood-red halo, and in the blink of an eye, a huge blood-red array was formed.

At the same time, the light inside the Xuanhuo Altar stopped, and a similarly massive dark red array suddenly took shape.
