Time Travel: I'm a Flower Thief

Shen Beilu broke through all seven moves of the formation, and the disciples of Kunlun immediately burst into cheers.

"Well done, Uncle Shen! That Seven Tribulations Heaven-Locking Array is nothing special!"

"All seven moves were neutralized by your martial uncle. Are you convinced, you demonic cult prodigies?"

The cheers surged, sweeping away the tension and oppression from before.

Li Yi'an looked at his junior brother, who was calm and composed in the formation, then turned to Cui Juqing: "Senior brother, what do you think?"

Cui Juqing's gaze was fixed on the seven-colored light array within the formation, and he pointed out the key point: "This is not even their full strength!"

Just now, each of the seven elders made a move, but each move only exerted one-tenth of the power of the Seven Tribulations Locking Heaven Formation.

They were testing their junior brother's abilities, trying to figure out his true strength, not making a rash move.

Shen Beiluo no longer held back. With a flash of cold light, his long sword aimed directly at the heart of the foremost Elder Chiyan, intending to defeat the leader first.

Unexpectedly, just as the sword was thrust out, Orange Fiend and Yellow Miasma appeared simultaneously from the left and right, the two fierce forces blocking Chi Yan's path and forcefully taking his sword strike.

The three energies collided, and Shen Beiluo was slightly stunned, a strong wind immediately rising behind him—

The Green Gu and the Azure Demon attacked his lower back from the left and right, each move targeting his vulnerable spots.

He had no choice but to turn around and parry with his sword. Just as he forced the two back, he stepped on the ground again and attacked the green Gu, trying to tear a hole as soon as possible.

But just as his sword was about to strike the Green Gu, Blue Puppet and Purple Netherworld instantly filled in, their combined killing intent sealing off his sword path.

At the same time, Chi Yan, Cheng Sha, and Huang Zhang had already circled around to his side, and the three fierce attacks simultaneously blasted towards his side.

Shen Beilu hurriedly blocked with his sword, then changed his sword stance and launched a fierce attack on Qingchi, but Qingchi dodged and retreated.

Chi Yan and Zi Ming immediately moved in to attack from both sides, while the remaining four attacked the blind spots he couldn't reach.

If you guard the front, the back will be exposed; if you block the left, the right will be empty. As soon as you subdue one person, two more will come to their rescue, leaving three or four people to seize the openings and attack relentlessly.

The seven coordinated perfectly, advancing, retreating, covering for each other, encircling, and launching surprise attacks with perfect precision.

Even with his superior swordsmanship, Shen Beiluo was constantly entangled and restrained, trapped in the center of the Seven Tribulations Locking Heaven Formation from beginning to end.

High on the cliff, Xie Xiaoyi couldn't help but whisper in praise, "What an amazing formation! The coordination is simply flawless."

Xue Xiaoqi explained softly, "The real power of this formation is that the seven people's strength can be combined into one."

They were not fighting individually, but rather their internal forces were interconnected and their offense and defense complemented each other. Shen Beilu was actually fighting against a united whole.

The seven elders were all at the upper fifth realm, and their power was amplified even more by the formation, making them virtually invincible when combined.

Xie Xiaoyi then understood why the Kunlun Heavenly Sword Sect had threatened the Demonic Sect with hostages; it turned out that the Seventh Elder's formation was so terrifying.

Just then, the seven-colored evil energy in the formation suddenly twisted into one, like a giant hand, and pressed down hard on Shen Beiluo!

Li Yi'an, watching anxiously from outside the formation, immediately shouted, "Junior brother, be careful! They're going to attack together, don't try to take it head-on!"

Before he could finish speaking, the seven-colored giant hand crashed down!

Shen Beiluo's eyes flashed, and he transformed into an almost invisible sword light, unleashing a barrage of sword strikes at the Seventh Elder, leaving him overwhelmed.

Although the Seventh Elder's formation was strong, it couldn't keep up with his speed. It didn't look like seven surrounding one, but rather like one fighting seven.

Xue Xiaoqi watched intently, murmuring softly, "No wonder this person is known as 'One Sword Rules the World,' he truly is strong."

However, he was previously forced back by Xie Mo's sword. Could it be that Xie Mo has become so powerful after not seeing him for several years?

At that moment, the seven individuals—Red Nightmare, Orange Fiend, Yellow Miasma, Green Gu, Azure Demon, Blue Puppet, and Purple Nether—simultaneously uttered a low shout:

"Block his sword first, then work together to kill him."

After saying that, the seven of them worked together to circulate their inner energy, and the giant hand's murderous aura instantly dispersed and then reassembled in front of them, transforming into an incomparably thick wall of energy!

"clang--!!"

A deafening bang reverberated throughout the stadium.

Shen Beiluo unleashed a sword strike at incredible speed, piercing the barrier of energy, only to be forcefully repelled.

The Seventh Elder gave them no chance to catch their breath, and Elder Chiyan shouted loudly: "The Seven Fiends unite as one, connecting mountains and seas; ten thousand calamities lock the heavens and bury the universe!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the killing intent within the formation surged, forming a seven-colored rainbow that crashed down upon Shen Beiluo.

Cui Juqing recognized this as the Seven Tribulations Locking Heaven Formation's killing move, his expression changed, and he cried out in alarm, "Junior Brother, be careful!"

Li Yi'an's palms were sweating; the combined power of that seven-in-one formation was probably already at the threshold of the Celestial Realm.

Junior brother... can't stop him, can he?

Xue Xiaoqi turned her head to look at Xie Xiaoyi: "Xie Mo, Shen Beiluo lost this time, right?"

Xie Xiaoyi noticed something amiss and gently shook his head: "Not necessarily. Senior Shen's sword intent has changed; he might be able to block it."

Xue Xiaoqi didn't believe it and stared intently.

Shen Beiluo swung his longsword backward, his sword intent surging, and he uttered a clear chant:

"With a single slash, it sweeps across ten thousand miles of sand; its sword cuts through heaven and earth, severing clouds and mist. Looking down upon heroes, they are but ants; this sword is invincible under heaven!"

After chanting, a terrifying sword aura, as white as the sun and capable of shattering mountains, burst forth, directly clashing with the seven-colored rainbow's malevolent energy.

Rumble—!!!

The two immense forces collided violently, and the heavens and earth seemed to tremble.

Shen Beiluo's sword energy and rainbow-colored evil energy clashed fiercely, producing a dull, squeezing sound.

For a moment, the white light and the seven-colored light were locked in a stalemate in mid-air, neither able to suppress the other.

The air currents swept wildly around, sending pebbles flying everywhere, and the strong winds stung people's cheeks.

Li Yi'an and Cui Juqing watched with their hearts in their throats, while all the Kunlun disciples held their breath, not daring to utter a sound.

At that critical moment of life and death, Xie Xiaoyi picked up Xue Xiaoqi and slowly lowered her down from the air, landing steadily beside Yue Xiaoshen.

He gently pushed Xue Xiaoqi forward in his arms, his voice calm: "Senior Yue, I'm returning your daughter to you."

Looking at her unharmed daughter, Yue Xiaoshen stepped forward and hugged Xue Xiaoqi tightly: "Xiao Xie Mo, I will remember this kindness."

Xie Xiaoyi smiled faintly: "Senior, your daughter and I are close friends, so there's no need to be so polite!"

Xue Xiaoqi blushed, broke free from her mother's embrace, turned around and pushed Xie Xiaoyi: "Who...who is your confidante..."

Xie Xiaoyi stopped laughing, looked at her seriously, and spoke frankly:

"Since we've gotten along so well at the World Sword Society, wouldn't it be fair to call each other confidants?"

Xue Xiaoqi was speechless, unwilling to admit it, and even less willing to deny it.

Looking at her daughter's expression, and then at Xie Xiaoyi, Yue Xiaoshen felt a surge of approval and warmth.

The fierce battle on the field continued, with sword energy and rainbow-colored evil energy locked in a stalemate, neither able to gain the upper hand!

Li Yi'an and Cui Juqing stepped forward in perfect unison, their inner energy surging, ready to rescue Shen Beiluo should he suffer even the slightest mishap.

The Black and White Protectors and Yue Xiaoshen also noticed this, and immediately stepped forward, their auras locking the two of them firmly.

If the Kunlun Heavenly Sword Sect dares to make a move, they will immediately stop them.
