Chapter 166 - Seven-Section Swords Penetrated Five Elements

Chapter 166 Seven-Section Swords Penetrated Five Elements“Heaven Sword! How could it be Heaven Sword?” Looking at the name of the sword, Hao Ning shook his head with doubt on his face and shouted, “and how could there be so many Heaven Swords? How could they turn the small flag into Heaven Sword and make so many swords? Fake, they must be fake!”

Nezha didn’t hear about Heaven Sword, but Liu Shuai and Zhou Yuan were frightened and changed color. Heaven Sword was the most powerful weapon in Jin Yong’s books, which could cut clean through iron as though it had been mud with threatening Sword Qi.

“Impossible, there’s no Heaven Sword in the real world!” Liu Shuai shook his head in suspicion, then thought that these people’s kung fu skills might be borrowed from the Book Elf. He corrected himself and said, “even if they could get Heaven Sword out, how could there be so many? It must be fake, just to frighten us!”

Just as they said, the seven people were shouting, gang-stepping and doing sword dancing, and after pulling up a few sword flowers, they raised the “Heaven Sword” upward. Seven swords touched each other. Only hearing the sound “whiz”, the seven swords flew out of the yellow light and rushed towards Xiao Hong immediately.

“Well? Flying swords?” Xiao Hong felt a little strange when he saw these people turning small flags into swords. When he saw these swords flying out, he could not help laughing and saying, “fencing skill of Shushan? Insignificant skills.”

After saying this, Xiao Hong waved his hand, and the five pillars of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth around him suddenly started shining and formed five layers of thin-film around Xiao Hong, which kept flowing.

“Five elements protection spell boundary!” After seeing it, Liu Shuai couldn’t stop praising it. “The strength of the Five Elements is endless and mutually reinforcing. No matter what Heaven Sword, as long as it’s within the five elements, the boundary can’t be broken by it! Great!”

Sure enough, when the seven flying swords encountered the five-element film, just like the light word encountering the yellow light of the apricot bamboo hat, they were clattering on the five-element film, but they can’t break in. The difference was that Xiao Hong could force the yellow light to move by tricks, but the strength of the seven flying swords was not enough to do so. The five-element film looked thin, but it was very strong. After being hit by flying swords, it was still as strong as iron without any movement at all.

“Brothers, fight!” The elder guy saw that the flying swords were ineffective, so he bit the tip of his tongue and shouted, “Seven swords combined!”

Saying this, these several people’s footsteps became faster. The seven swords in the air no longer clattered on the five-elements film but were combined in a sword in the air. This sword is even smaller than before, but the cold light of it is more frightening than before.

“Hum!” Xiao Hong saw this flying sword and sneered, “so what? As long as it is still in the five elements, it will not break my spell boundary!”

“Break!” These seven people seemed to have held back for a long time, and they suddenly opened their eyes and shouted loudly. This shout seemed to exhaust their strength. After shouting out, the eyes of these seven people all shed red blood tears, looking horrible.

As the voice died away, the sword rose in the air and scratched in the air for several dozen times in front of Xiao Hong. The scratching was so fast that not until Hao Ning and others responded to it, Xiao Hong flew backward with the scream, fell to the ground and could not stand up again. Then they saw that Xiao Hong’s clothes had been broken and there were dozens of sword cuts bleeding on his body. And the five pillars had already been broken and fell to the ground.

Seeing that they succeeded, these seven people immediately stretched out their hands and pointed in the air. The small sword in the air shook, and turned into seven swords, directly inserted into the body of Xiao Hong. Xiao Hong didn’t get up yet but had been nailed to the ground by these seven swords!

“How could it be possible!” After all, Xiao Hong was a god. Although these flesh wounds were serious, they would not kill him. But these seven swords were inserted in his body, making him feel painful and unable to move. Xiao Hong stared at those people and said, “how can the five-element protective spell boundary be broken by this sword?”

“Hard bones!” The elder guy grinned bitterly and gasped. “If it weren’t for our hostile relationship, I would have admired you a lot. You are so bruised but still concerned about it. Let’s just say…” Saying this, a few people took out another soul coin, but this one was much smaller than the one just now, and its luster was not as bright as the one just now. “I may tell you that the five-element protective spell boundary is really strong. Although our sword can also cut iron as it was mud, it really can’t break your spell boundary‒you guys, reform the formation.”

The others took out seven small flags, planted them on the ground, and then closed their eyes meditatively. Obviously, the fight just now was also difficult for these people. Even if they had the support of soul coin, it also very reluctant.

“Although the sword can’t break the spell boundary,” the elder guy said proudly, with a sigh, “but the sword energy can.”

“Sword energy?” Xiao Hong endured the pain of his body. The blood on his body had dyed the land around him red. The position of the seven swords inserted into was not to kill him but to make him unable to use the power. “Don’t bluff us. How could there be such powerful sword energy?”

“What is the sword energy?” Although Nezha had gone through the war between the Shang Dynasty and Zhou Dynasties, he felt strange when hearing this word. He quickly asked Hao Ning, “Do you know?”

“Are you in the mood to care about this?” Hao Ning looked at Xiao Hong who had become a bloody man and shouted at Nazha, “Xiao Hong has been injured like this. Let’s hurry to save him!”

As he said this, Hao Ning was about to rush out, but he was stopped by Nazha, “don’t worry. It’s just a flesh wound for Xiao Hong, but we have seen these people’s ability. If we go out now, we can’t help Xiao Hong. We need to make these seven people’s ability clear as soon as possible, in order to destroy them one by one!”

“What Nezha said makes sense,” Zhou Yuan said, bowing his head and thinking. “Who are they? And why can they kill people with sword energy?”

“You know nothing,” seeing that the others were still recuperating, the elder guy said to Xiao Hong with a smile. “Of course, the ordinary sword energy can’t, but the formation of our brothers can greatly improve its fighting power. Probably you don’t do any reading. How can you know such an abstruse formation?”

With this, the elder guy shook his head proudly, and no longer spoke.

“Formation?” Hao Ning was stunned when he heard it. An idea flickered in his mind, but it was very vague. “Listening to what he said, they used a formation to improve their sword energy, and gave it the power to kill or hurt?”

“It’s possible,” Liu Shuai nodded. “Five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth do not really include the sword energy, but what kind of formation do they use to improve the sword energy to have such lethality? Hao Ning? What are you stunned about? I’m talking to you!”

“You’re the master of formations. You should be asked!” Hao Ning stared at Liu Shuai and wondered how he could ask someone else. So, Hao Ning asked back, “don’t you know that I know nothing about your theologies?”

“Didn’t you listen to them? Is this a formation in the book?” Liu Shuai shook his head disapprovingly. “That is to say, the kung fu skill they learned should be a formation in a book that can improve their fighting power. You tell me. If I don’t ask you, who I should ask?”

“A formation in the book to improve fighting power…” Hao Ning understood Liu Shuai’s meaning and thought carefully with his eyes closed. Suddenly, a formation appeared in his mind. Hao Ning opened his eyes after thinking of it. He looked at Liu Shuai in surprise, and said with a trembling voice, “is it…Zhenwu Seven-Section Formation!”

“Zhenwu Seven-Section Formation?” At this time, let alone Nezha, even Liu Shuai and Zhou Yuan were a little confused, “What is this formation?”

“As it is said in a book, there is an extremely powerful formation…” Hao Ning said with a bitter smile, “it was created by Zhang Sanfeng in Jin Yong’s novel Relying on Heaven to Slaughter Dragons. The greatest feature of this formation is that the fighting power of it rises exponentially with the number of people in the formation. For example, if three people use it together, their power will be twice that of two people; if four people use it, the power will be equivalent to that of eight masters working together; if five people use it, the power will be equivalent to that of 16 people working together. Now they have seven people, which means…” Hao Ning hesitated here, “in fact, they are equivalent to sixty-four masters working together.”

“How could it be possible!” Listening to Hao Ning’s remark, Liu Shuai shook his head repeatedly. “Why don’t we know such a powerful formation?”

“Just because it’s too powerful…” Hao Ning agreed with Liu Shuai. “Jin Yong only allowed this formation to appear once, but it was hidden before it showed its power. Otherwise, how could he continue his novel? But from all the performances of these people just now, this formation is most likely to be what they use.”

“Very likely!” Although Nezha didn’t understand Zhenwu Seven-Section Formation, he nodded at Hao Ning’s description, “No wonder! How could the Root Praying Method have such a strong power? But if they use Zhenwu Seven-Section Formation, which is equivalent to the power of sixty-four people working together, the power, of course, will increase greatly!”

“And the apricot bamboo hat just now,” Zhou Yuan thought it over, and said, “they probably used this method to make the yellow light that had been broken by Xiao Hong hard again. So, they also used this method to improve the power of the sword energy and break the five-element protective spell boundary!”

“Maybe…” Hao Ning frowned and became more depressed when he knew the truth. “Zhenwu Seven-Section Formation is so powerful that we can’t break it even if we know it.”

“No, they’re starting to use Root Praying Method again!” Liu Shuai looked out and exclaimed.

Seeing that the seven people had finished their rest and started dancing around the seven flags, but this time their energies were not as good as before and their steps were much slower.

With the dance of these people, the originally gathered shape of Long Fei began to tremble again. Xiao Hong saw these people using the Root Praying Method again and gritted his teeth to stand up in a struggle to stop them. Who knew that the swords seemed to have rooted on the ground and Xiao Hong couldn’t move at all?

“What should we do?” Hao Ning looked at Long Fei’s trembling body and urgently asked Nezha, “do we have other ways?”

Nezha frowned tightly and shook his head, “Although these people are not very powerful, they have the apricot bamboo hat to protect them. So Universal Ring can’t hurt them.”

At this moment, along with the steps of these seven people, the bamboo leaf note that fell in the formation moved intentionally or unintentionally, as if it had been blown by the wind. But just after the bamboo leaf moved, the small flags planted on the ground, and the swords on Xiao Hong’s body also shook slightly for several times. These shocks were so subtle that these seven people even didn’t find them at all.

“What should we do? Should we…” Hao Ning naturally did not know these subtle circumstances. Suddenly he felt a strange as if a strong strength had been pulling him out. “Hey, what’s going on? Why do I feel someone is pulling me?”

“Brother, it seems a little hard this time?” One of them said as he stepped forward difficultly, “why is it so much harder this time than before?”

“Maybe we spent too much energy before,” the elder guy said with a gasp, feeling a little overwhelmed. “Get up your spirits and finish the task, and we’ll be rich!”

Speaking of this, these seven people quickening their steps, with the flag under their feet trembling even more.

“Hurry! Hold me!‒Ah!” Before Hao Ning finished his words, he already disappeared from the Virtualised Reality and appeared outside the next second.

“You…” These seven people were playing Root Praying Method nervously. Suddenly, there appeared one more person outside the yellow light. They were stunned, “Who are you?”
