Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2183 Chapter 1022: One Sword from Heaven (Part 2)
Previously on Immortality Through Array Formations...
With a thunderous bellow, Cheng Mo hoisted his massive axe and brought it smashing down toward Xiao Ruohan.
Ouyang Xuan swiftly unleashed his movement skill, his Taia Sword shimmering with icy light as it thrust directly at Xiao Ruohan's heart.
Mo Hua reacted in a flash, hurling a barrage of fireballs in their direction.
Yet those fireballs got stopped by a Golden Body Talisman, unable to disrupt Xiao Ruohan's sword strikes and merely inflicting slight burns.
The Sword Qi from Linghu Xiao and Situ Jian got cut off by a pair of Heavenly Sword Sect disciples, both armed with blades.
Meanwhile, Cheng Mo and Ouyang Xuan found themselves tied up by another duo of Heavenly Sword Sect disciples, keeping them from approaching Xiao Ruohan.
Mo Hua yelled out, "Xiaoxiao, hit him now!"
Linghu Xiao got the message right away and seized a Golden Body Talisman, lifting his Chongxu Sword while pouring in all his Spiritual Power to create a stunning yet lethal Water Moon-hued Chongxu Sword Breath, its power just as fearsome as it confronted Xiao Ruohan.
Each displayed top-tier Sword Techniques.
Both stood as Sword Dao prodigies.
For the moment, the pair seemed perfectly balanced, with no clear advantage on either side.
The Heavenly Sword Sect disciples sensed the threat and quickly redirected their efforts to assault Linghu Xiao.
Situ Jian gripped his Li Fire Sword and rushed ahead.
As blades collided in fierce exchanges over multiple bouts, the legacy of the Li Fire Sword fell short against the Heavenly Sword Technique, leaving Situ Jian trapped and defenseless.
Cheng Mo and Ouyang Xuan had little option but to pivot and aid Linghu Xiao.
The battlefield turned into utter turmoil in an instant.
Sword Energy Skills collided wildly.
Fighters from both factions battled desperately for survival.
As everyone clashed in mortal combat, Xiao Ruohan's sword strikes had built up sufficient force. He didn't waver, unleashing a dazzling sword beam like a shooting star from the heavens, One Sword from Heaven, directed at the city gate.
Ouyang Xuan shielded Linghu Xiao and couldn't pull away.
Seeing this, Cheng Mo and Situ Jian clenched their jaws and lunged at the sword beam, sacrificing themselves to intercept it.
However, this fatal blow from the Nine Heavenly Sword Techniques held immense strength.
The sword beam pressed on relentlessly, wiping out Cheng Mo and Situ Jian before slamming into the city gate, safeguarded by a High-Rank Gold Stone Formation.
At that very moment, fueled by rage at the sight of Cheng Mo and Situ Jian's deaths, Linghu Xiao's gaze turned frigid. He unleashed everything, slashing at Xiao Ruohan with the piercing, moonlit Chongxu Sword Qi.
Xiao Ruohan's sword technique remained incomplete, leaving him no way to dodge.
The remaining two Heavenly Sword Sect disciples surged forward without delay, channeling their Sword Qi to block and absorb Linghu Xiao's Chongxu lethal strike.
Yet Linghu Xiao's attack proved just as devastating.
One of the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples fell to the Sword Qi's slaughter.
The other suffered grave injuries.
The leftover Sword Qi then battered Xiao Ruohan.
These two Sword Dao geniuses, armed with elite Sword Techniques and deadly assaults, broke through the barriers to land their blows.
Suddenly, the Sword Qi detonated with fury.
Two deafening explosions rang out, shaking the world as the ground split and debris flew amid swirling clouds of dust.
Within the haze of smoke and grit, brilliant sword beams crossed paths, flashing with intense brilliance.
On Fang Tian's display, the atmosphere brimmed with dense smoke, shattered earth and rock, and lethal sword lights that lit up the chaos in pulsing glows.
All onlookers held their breaths in suspenseful suspense.
They yearned to discover the final result.
Had the city gate fallen?
Was Xiao Ruohan slain?
Between the Heavenly Sword Sect and Taixu Gate, which side emerged victorious?
As anticipation gripped the crowd, the smoke began to clear, and the sword lights faded away.
Fang Tian's screen revealed the aftermath of the clash between these supreme Daoist Magics.
The city gate lay in ruins.
Xiao Ruohan lived on.
Xiao Ruohan had barely endured one of Linghu Xiao's Chongxu Sword Qi killing strikes.
Though the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples had mostly dispelled the Chongxu Sword Qi.
The surviving Sword Qi, weakened like a faltering ram, lacked the force to finish him off.
On the other hand, Xiao Ruohan's Nine Heavenly Sword Techniques, after dispatching Cheng Mo and Situ Jian, impacted the city gate with full force.
In the end, Cheng Mo and Situ Jian's cultivation lagged behind that of the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples.
As a result, even with their desperate resistance, Xiao Ruohan's Sword Qi only got partially halted.
That formed one factor.
A further cause lay in the city gate's vast size and fixed position, turning it into an easy "target" that soaked up every ounce of Xiao Ruohan's devastating sword assault.
Not a trace of Sword Qi went unused.
This highlighted the defenders' weakness during a siege.
In ordinary sword spars, defeat meant you could flee.
But in a siege, with the enormous city gate rooted in place, escape or evasion proved impossible.
After taking the full brunt of Xiao Ruohan's mighty sword, despite the High-Rank Formation's aid, the city gate still got breached.
The Gold and Stone Formation crumbled apart.
A massive breach ripped through the inner city's gate.
"The city gate is broken!"
Cultivators beyond the arena cried out:
"One man, one sword, One Sword from Heaven!"
"A single slash like this, taking two lives, shattering the formation, and forcing the gate open!"
"Such overwhelming sword power, it deserves the title of a Sword Dao genius from the Four Great Sects!"
"Turning the tide alone in dire straits, that's a true Sword Dao prodigy!"
"Xiao Ruohan, after this fight, his name will spread far and wide. All will recognize that besides Xiao Wuchen, the Heavenly Sword Sect boasts Xiao Ruohan too..."
"The Four Great Sects truly breed geniuses, leaving me jealous of my own sect..."
...
The spectators outside showered praise without restraint, chattering endlessly.
Within the arena, Mo Hua let out a sigh.
He gazed at the enormous Sword Qi rent in the city wall, a touch of powerlessness washing over him:
"As expected from the Qianxue Debate, these prodigies outdo each other in ferocity, no room to look down on them..."
"Can't slack off even a little."
"Securing a single win feels so grueling..."
If they only managed two formations, it would spell complete defeat.
