Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2156 Chapter 1014: Above Me

The sword discussion formats in the Xuan Character Bureau come in all sorts of varieties.

It's hard to say if Mo Hua has been fortunate or not, since the ones he's joined so far have all been either beheading contests or skirmishes.

He hasn't experienced a single round of other types, like offense and defense battles, monster hunts, or escort tasks.

This particular sword discussion against the Carefree Sect is nothing more than a straightforward skirmish.

To claim victory, you have to "kill" every single one of the opposing disciples.

At this moment, though, none of the watching cultivators give a thought to the "format"; their focus is solely on one matter:

Who has what it takes to take down Mo Hua?

Who can make this vile and underhanded Mo Hua perish once in the sword discussion gathering?

Who can cleanse the shame of Qianxue's talents using Mo Hua's "blood"?

Simply managing to kill Mo Hua would suffice.

Winning or losing doesn't matter to them.

Or put another way, whoever kills Mo Hua becomes the true "victor" in their eyes.

This straightforward but burning longing surges through the hearts of the cultivators atop the Mount of Tao.

The crowd's fervor boils like a blazing forge, stirring hot-blooded excitement.

In this sword discussion, the figure carrying the greatest expectations is the Carefree Sect's genius, Feng Zichen, striking and refined in his white attire, his sword qi flowing like the breeze.

Not just the Feng family elders hold such hopes.

Most of the cultivators in the audience share the same anticipation.

They eagerly await Feng Zichen striking down Mo Hua with one swift sword.

And before long, the sword discussion kicks off.

Disciples from both the Carefree Sect and Taixu Gate, after a bit of initial probing and positioning, clash head-on, exploding like thunder crashing into the ground, with sword lights flashing brilliantly and twisting into deadly combat.

No fancy strategies here—just raw, brutal killing.

Naturally, Mo Hua ends up as the primary target.

By this stage in the sword discussion, anyone can tell that Taixu Gate boasts two individuals who absolutely cannot be left unchecked.

One of them is Linghu Xiao.

By this stage in the sword discussion, anyone can tell that Taixu Gate boasts two individuals who absolutely cannot be left unchecked.

One of them is Linghu Xiao.

Let Linghu Xiao move about freely, and the rush of Chongxu Sword's True Qi would guarantee defeat.

The other is Mo Hua.

Let Mo Hua operate unchecked, and he'll annoy you to no end, making victory impossible all the same.

At the start, Mo Hua ranked lower in priority than Linghu Xiao.

But unfortunately, he's racked up far too many grudges, and his good-looking features only draw more mockery.

As a result, far more folks yearn to eliminate him than those targeting Linghu Xiao.

Furthermore, this sword discussion serves as the peak of earlier sect clashes, embodying the insights from various sects' Elders of Daoist Law; the Carefree Sect possesses both the methods and the determination to "certainly eliminate" Mo Hua, ramping up their assault even fiercer.

Moving with wind-like speed, sword qi flickering like phantoms, they strike and retreat at will, their relentless pushes trapping Taixu Gate.

Mo Hua finds himself forced to escape in a frantic scramble.

The spectators' feelings swell with intensity.

Elder Feng feels a profound sense of relief.

"The Carefree Sect's core inheritance for protection is the Carefree Wind Shadow Skill, featuring the Wind Stepping Technique for mobility, paired with the Carefree Sword Control Skill; that's why their disciples emphasize 'fast swords'..."

"Their footwork isn't just excellent—their blades strike like lightning too. In an instant, sword qi rides the gusts, landing fatal blows that slice throats and claim lives."

"When wind-style movement merges with sword arts, the quicker the steps, the mightier the strikes become."

"Thanks to these supreme skills, the Carefree Sect rose above multiple Sword Dao sects in the Twelve Streams, securing a spot among the Eight Great Gates."

Elder Feng explained fluidly to Great Elder Zhang, then added with delight:

"And our family's genius, Feng Zichen, stands as the top talent of this era in the Carefree Sect. His techniques and sword arts draw from the Carefree Sect, but his mobility, built on their Wind Stepping Technique, also weaves in our family's special Trigram Wind Wandering Step."

"The Carefree Wind Stepping Technique fused with the Trigram Wind Wandering Step—these two peak movement arts blended seamlessly."

"Zichen might not lead in raw sword power. But in terms of agility, across the whole sword discussion event, hardly anyone matches him."

"Since Carefree Sect swordsmanship depends so much on speed, the better the movement, the deadlier the blades; thus, when Zichen unleashes the Wind Sword Skill, nothing can stand in its way..."

Elder Feng brimmed with immense pride.

Great Elder Zhang glanced at the scene projected on the curtain and sure enough, spotted the five Carefree Sect disciples darting with rapid grace, their sword strikes whipping like tempests.

The leader among them moved even swifter.

Beneath his billowing white robes, he and his sword became one, gliding like the breeze—graceful yet lethal.

His footwork especially captured the essence of the Wind Stepping Technique's velocity and the Wind Wandering Step's nimbleness, proving utterly captivating.

"Excellent!"

Great Elder Zhang nodded approvingly, though a twinge of jealousy crept in.

His own Zhang family specialized in movement arts as well.

Their Falling Flower Steps and Water Passing Step were impressive, yet they paled slightly next to the Carefree Step and Trigram Wind Wandering Step on display.

Besides, no Zhang family disciple had mastered such arts to their heights.

Much less challenge the Feng family's prodigy in the sword discussion arena.

It's always painful to compare.

Great Elder Zhang kept his thoughts silent and his expression neutral, but inwardly, a bit of unease stirred.

Meanwhile, on the field, Feng Zichen guided the Carefree Sect disciples with overwhelming might.

Sword qi raged like a violent gale.

Within mere dozens of exchanges, Taixu Gate's lineup got shattered by the Carefree Sect's rapid blades.

With the formation broken, Mo Hua stood exposed without cover.

The Carefree Sect members unleashed sword qi like whipping winds, all zeroing in on Mo Hua.

Mo Hua couldn't hold out and had no option but to activate his concealment, fading from sight right before their eyes.

Feng Zichen had anticipated this, promptly pulling out a Five Elements Breaking Concealment Spirit Mirror and aiming it upward, exposing Mo Hua's freshly hidden form in sharp, undeniable clarity.

The crowd erupted in astonishment, with cheers ringing out:

"It's shattered!"

"Amazing! What a brilliant move!"

"That brat's Concealment Technique is finally cracked! Now let's see where he scurries off to?"
